FROM WORTH. NBWn ITEMS AND POI.ITIC*. The Third Pferljr nmlei 1.1 Penlan— Cel. J. XV. Welun, ef Albnnjr, W»S There *n4 Made n Hlrnlsht Demo cratic Speech. ^Special Correspondence of the 11kkai.ii. Isabella, June 8, 1892. —Vine rnlns have put the crops In a flourishing condition, and all the farmers are looking pleased. —The crop of oats and wool is .about gathered, though Third Party politicians are still trying to fleece a few of the lambs. —TwoSunday-sohools frofii Isabella, one from Sylvester and one from Doles, ■will have a pionlc at Whlddon's bridge, on AdamB’s oreek, about seven miles north of Isabella, on Saturday, June 11th. —A Negro was killed at Price & Co.'s mill, about a mile west of Sum ner, on Tuesday night. While coming in on the tram engine Tuesday even ing, the Negro addressed some abusive language to Mr. W. T. Revills, the ■woodsman for Price & Co. Mr. Revills said nothing at the time, but as soon as he arrived home, procured a shot gun and, going to the Negro’s house, shot him dead. He then made good his escape. —Mr. O. B. Stevens, who is too well- known to need explanation, Is In this section looking after the Interests of his campaign. Mr. Stevens Is of pleas ing address, and has many friends In this county, he stated to your cor respondent yesterday that he was a Democrat; would abide by the action •of tho Democratic Convention, and .give Ills unqualified support to both State and National Democratic plat forms. This Is, I believe, the first public announcement Mr. Stevens has made that he would support these platforms, and will doubtless settle all questions as to his. Democracy. He is, to the writer’s knowledge, using all tits influence to prevent the Alliance from affiliating with the Third Party, hut urges them ,to carry out their re forms Inside the Democracy. Had Mr. Stevens made this declaration «arlier, the Second would have been better off, so far as feelings are con cerned.. —Yesterday was the day that Rob bins, the high-priest missionary of the People’s Party in this district, had ap pointed to preaoh the doctrine of com munism to tho people of Worth. He first appointed to speak in Sumner on “Tuesday, June 1st,” but as he found sifter reflection that it would be about six years before tho first day of June would come on Tuesday, he afterwnrd changed his appointment to Poulnn, ■“Wednesday, June 1st.” Whether this confusion of dates came from the fact that his friends read nothing but the Alliance Farmer, nnd therefore could not be expeoted to know enough to tell the day of the month, or whether he was so muddled over the complex ion of the Executive Committee of Ills •own county—Greene—which Is half black and half worse, so that he could cot afford to pay any attention to such « small affair as the day of the month, 1 cannot say; but it is sufficient that the change of dates resulted In a mis' carriage of the efforts his friends here bad made in providing Hon. Ben Rus sell and some other speakers to help him out in case he became too tired trying to persuade Democrats to give the Republican party a lift. Mr. Rob bins finally became so entangled in his •own dates that he did not get here at all, much to the disappointment of about one hundred and forty of Worth’s citizens, who gathered at the 'Tabernacle in Poulan principally through curiosity to see how many men in Worth county were prepared to make asses of themselves. About forty-five or fifty of those pres' •ent were rank Third Partyltes, and that Just about represents the Third Party’s strength in this county, for they were all there. About forty of the rock-ribbed Demo cracy were present, and the balance were Ocala Democrats. The crowd waited, swapped lies, and chewed to bacco until about 1 o’clock, when Dr. -J. H. Pickett, of Ty Ty, who is sup posed to have an office bee in his bon- ■net, arose and made a few remarks de fining the position of the Third Party, and giving a synopsis of their de mands, which are all that a man who has nothing else could ask for. He was replied to at length by Col. Jesse W. Walters, who did not go there to snake a speech, but to hear one. How ever, when called on, the Colonel un buttoned his vest, turned back his cuffs, and waded into them. His re' marks were made in a reasonable, fair- minded spirit, and were convincing to any reasonable man who would listen ' to them. But the Third Party cranks were not prepared to listen to reason. They had been told by the Alliance Farmer to read nothing but that pa per, for fear they would learn better, and to attend no Democratic meetings for fear they would be misled back to common sense, and as soon as a Dem ocrat arose to talk reason to them, they were afraid he was there to do them some good, and they began to kick. They kicked worse than that when the Colonel began to get in his work, as was shown by the way they writhed under his arguments. He was del uged with questions, copies of the Al- lianoe Farmer, whioh were produced to prove everything from the birth of Noah to the faot that the sun moves around the earth. Several Third Party tracts, with Tom Watson’s tirade among them, were handed the Colonel with requests to rend, and if s he had read them all he would have been reading yet. But he answered all their questions, and, finding that they were not bettering themselves, the storm of printed matter subsided, and the Colonel proceeded with one of the best Democratic arguments that a Democrat could have wished to listen to, or a Third Party politician to avoid. After he had concluded, and the applause had subsided, Dr. Pickett arose nnd began attacking the Democ racy. One singular thing was, x the Doctor had not a word to say about the St. Louis platform, which is the platform of the Third Party, but oon- llned ills remarks entirely to tile de mands of the Oonla platform. The Doctor became a little entangled un der Col. Walter’s pointed questions, and said the Democratic party ought to have done n thing years ago whloli he had Just been roundly nbuslng them for doing. Although ho started out abusing modern Democracy, he wound up by presenting a good old sound Democratic argument. The Third Partyltes were not satisfied with this, and called Mr. M. P. Tharp, of Doles, to the stand, who presented the claims and grievances of the Third Party in an able manner, and made ns good a speefth as It wns possible for a Third Party man to make, but at its conclusion he was requested to read a small newspaper tract about as long as Brooklyn bridge by Tom AVatson. Unfortunately he read it. and it prac tically killed all of the effect of his speeoh by part of his hearers going to sleep, and others going home. A cau cus of about twenty Third Partyltes was held in the fair building after all the rest had gone home, and it is thought plans were laid for capturing the Democratic mnss meeting at Isa bella next Monday. Sufficient that every Third Party man present was urgently requested to be there. As a TONS OF FiSH BAIT. CATCHING MENHADEN OFF 'THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. V GAME WHERE THE WINNER LOST.

I., f.eheti Hoe. the Wntchui Aet, Which Results lu the Capture of n ■Burglar. Several times during the past two or three months, Mr. Leben’s store has been broken into, and his cash drawer relieved of wlint change it contained. Mr. Leben could not, with any degree of certainty, determine who the thief was, but his suspicions led him to be lieve that a Negro, Jeff Dunn, who has for a long time been employed around the store, was the guilty party. For about a week past, Mr. I.eben has been watching the store at nights, in the hope of catching up with the man, but not until Thursday night was bis vigilance rewarded. About 9 o'clock someone went to the baok door, which had been left un fastened on the Inside, pushed it open arid entered. He shortly returned, and was recognized by Mr. Leben as the suspected Jeff Dunn. Officers Raley and Barron were not! fled, and about 1 o’clock Dunn was ar rested in his house, in the southern portion of the city. Mr. Leben described the money which had been taken from Ills cash drawer, all of which was found on Dunn’s person. Dunn will be tried for burglary, and will probably get a term in the pen How School* of Flair Are Pureued, Cap tured fend Stowed Aboard—An Accom modating Member of the Finny Tribe Which Can. He Heed In Many Waye. Pitching his voice high the lookout at the masthead of the menhadon steamer shouts out gleefully: “A school I A school!" and immediately all is bustle and excitement on board. “As this Is a new experience to you, sir, you shall have a seat with me in my boat." “Thank you, captain; i am only too eager to see the fun,” Tho crews now take their places in the seiue boats, while two of tho party, known us drivers, go out in advance in little thirteen foot boats to learn the direction in which the school is moving, and to mark out Its size. Tho jolly enp- tain—a trne type of the traditional Cape Codder, sqnare built, stnrdy, genial, his face bronzed by years of exposure to sunshine and sea breezes and very intel ligent withal—takes his pluce at the In side bow oar in one of tho seine Units, and tho mate a corresponding position In the other, and by the time they reach the soliool the drivers describe the move ments of the fish. They now begin throwing out the seiue, each boat going in an opposite di rection around the school, the drivers in the meantime splpshing tho wuter to kocp the fish from escaping. Soon tile boats meet, and all hands now pull at the purse line, the net and cork line. The steamer is brought alongside, nnd after the fish are driven well togethor the net is fastened to tho steamer's Bide and they are baled into the hold by means of a large dip net run by a don- joy engine. The next thing on the programme is to propnre the menhaden for Baiting, to be used as bait—for which there is groat demand. This is a Bimple process, bnt to me its novelty invests it with partic ular interest. The head of the fish is taken in the left hand of the workman, aud with a peculiarly shaped knife held ill the right hand he cuts a slico, longi tudinally, from each side of tho body, leaving the head and vertobne to be thrown away or occasionally to be pressed for oil. The slivers are salted and packed in barrels. Tills opening act of the day’s drama ended, Captain Williams invites me to accompany him into the cabin, and the jolly skipper there entertains mo with some interesting points about the fishery. “It's queer how many different names the menhaden is known by," observes the skipper. “Fact is, it has more ali ases than a veteran oriminal—more nick names than there were colors to Joseph's coat. Besides the more common name of menhaden it is known os pogy, bony- fish, moesbunker, hardhead, Whitehall, bunker, oldwife, bugfish, cheboy. ell- wife, alewife, fatback, greentuil, wife and yellowtail shad, it’s about as long as the common sea herring, but is deep er and more robust looking. Its aver age length is from twelve to fifteen inches. 1 hardly need tell yon that it is valuable as a bait fish, it excelling all others as such; that as a food resource it is thought to have great qualities; that its chief value is as a fetilizer and and that it is also valuable for the oil and sorap produced by cooking and pressing them. ‘For illustration, here are some min utes i made in my memorandum book in regard to what was done in the year 1880, whioh was a fair representative sea son. Thatyear.the total weight of the catch was 078,000 pounds—equivalent to about 700,000,000 menhaden in number. Pretty big army, eh? Quantity of oil pro duced, 2,060,896 gallons, and of guano (18,904 tons, having a total value of |2,084,641. Capital invested in steamers, etc., and their outfit and in factories, $3,863,841. As compared with previous years, however, the yield of oil was Ns Rice la Rice Paper, Rice paper is not made from rice, nor from rice stalks, nor has it any connection whatever with rice. It is of Chinese manufacture and is made from the pith of a certain tree resein bllng the elder. The pith is extracted from the tree in large cylindrical masses, and with sharp knives the Chinese pare off the cylinder till, in stead of a cylindrical form, they have a large, flat sheet. This is pressed and other sheets added until the required thickness is secured. The paper is then rudely sized and Is ready for use. It was oalled rice paper under the sup position, when it was first introduced into Europe, that it was made from rice stalks, and the name has never been changed. —Man despises heartily a^/sheep- killing dog.

One Now Yorker got a taste of a legal dose the other day which is likely to make him hesitate aboqt using the same prescription ugpin. Ho wanted damages from n man who ho declared had injured bis property, He wanted all the damages he could got too. He was earnest enough to Insist that tbo damages ought to be run up in the thousands. Now if ho had been con tented to take his caso into a district court this story would probably never huvo been written. But as he estimated his wrongs not by single, plain, overy- day “cart wheel” dollars, but in blocks of 1,900 each, he was forced to take bis suit into the court of common pleas. Everything went swimmingly for his side. His lawyer proved beyond a doubt that the defendant hud causod damages to tho plaintiff's.proporty. The judge bo- Uovod it, tho jury believed it, in fact tho defendant himsolf and the defendant's counsel bolioved It. If ever there wns a clear case of dninuges it wns right there in the com mon pleus court. And so the plaintiff got a verdict for forty-nine dollars, Bnt it is one thing to get a verdict ami another thing to take what goes with it. It happened in this caso that if the defendant received a verdict for . less than fifty dollars he wus liable for costs. He did not know much about law, und, hough he wns disappointed at the amount of the damages, ho looked tri umphantly at the other sido. He was disgusted to see the culm smile' on the face of tho defendant’s lawyer. But a moment later there was gnashing of teeth when his counsel told him about the costs. ’1 have to pay the costs, do If" he Bnapped. “Yes." “After 1 have won my case 1 have to pay costs for the other side?” "That is the law." “Well, it’s a mighty nice law that makes the winner lose, ain’t it? What do you think 1 went to iaw for? Do you think 1 wanted to spend money for fun? Do you think after that fellow has spoiled my property 1 want to pay him for doing it? What do you think 1 am. anyway—a muddy brained, cross eyed, half hearted lunatic? How mnch are the costs?” “Three hundred and sixty dollars.” “Three hundred and sixty dollars! 1 win a case and get damages and lose $811, do 1? i can snbstraot the amount of the damage from the cost and make out a check for the balance, can I? Well, f suppose 1 can so long as 1 have to. Bnt 1 wunt you to understand that the next time 1 go to law it will be be cause I am a candidate for a lunatic asylum. The next time 1 have you for a lawyer it will be when I’m the de fendant in a caso like this nnd wunt to lose. “Du you heart" he screamed. “When 1 want to lose I’ll have you, 1 say, so that 1 can come out ahead of the game. And the next time a man damages my property I’ll invito him to come in and knock the roof off the house. I’ll have him use my piano for a toboggan on the ball stairs. I’ll invite him to play a game of tenpins in my dining room and will nse my great-grandmother’s tea service for pins, and if he wants to jnmp through our $000 Japanese screen like a circus rider he can do it. “Then maybe he’ll want me to sue him, so that I can get stuck for costs again. And I’ll sue him; oh, yes, 1’U sue him!” and he Bnorted so loudly that the court usher’s afternoon nap was dis turbed.—New York Tribune. About how long, captain, does the catching Beason last?" “Well, you see, as soon as the men haden make their appearance in the spring, vessels start in pnrsuit of ’em, and continue capturing ’em till they dis appear in the fall. From the menhaden oil and guano factories along the south ern coast of New England, New York And New Jersey shores, the fleetB of steam and sail vessels begin their cruises early in May, chasing the fish along the shores and in the sounds, wherever they can be found. The vessels seldom cruise more’ntenor fifteen miles from land. The total area of the ground is estimated at 8,850 square geographical miles. “The average steamer is about the size of this one. That is to say, some 70 tons measurement, 90 feet long, 17 feet beam, 1% feet depth of hold and seven feet draft aft and costs $16,000. It costs not far from $1,000 a month'for wages, fuel and provisions to run it. Like this boat, they are screw steamers and are rigged with one mast for'ard, which is fitted with a crane for taking in the catch. The men's quarters are in the for’castle. The fish are' stored in bulk in the hold. The engine house, as yon see, is astern the main hatch, with coal bunkers open ing on deck each side. All of ’em have fitted to the bulwarks on either side, near the stern, cranes for the boats, and towing chocks are set in the deck on either quarter aft. The hold or tank for storing the fish is water tight. There are some steamers engaged in the fishery which are more'n 150 feet long, carrying from twenty-seven to thirty men, and cost $80,000 and upward. Most of the steamers carry four seine boats. “Since steamers have come into vogue the factories have greatly increased their facilities for handling large catch es. The first factory could work up only a few hundred barrels a day, while now the big factories take from 8,000 to 6,000 barrels daily.’’—New York Herald. Nearly 8100,000,000 a Yrar. Mr. James Wright, second vice presi dent of the Inman line, says that whoa the oml of 1892 comes at least 100,000 people will have left for Europe from all parts of this country during the year. Half of them will sail during the fifteen weeks of the season, from April to August. Somo travelers will carry hundrods of dollars in their pocketbooks to spend whore others carry thousands. Nine-tenths of thoso hundreds nnd thou sands will bo transferred to foreign own ers before the tourists return. Even the money spent for passage and during the voyuges must be counted in that which bids goodby to tills land of liberty, for tlio great steamship compa nies are, with one exception, foreign corporations. Including tips and fees those corporations will take an average of $100 from each passenger for the round trip. The majority will pay less, bnt there will be ouougli rich men who who pay a good deal moro to bring the mean amount up to that figure.

The Lenton offerings of tho Sunday school children of the Protestant Episco pal oliurch throughout the United States thus far received in behalf of the gener al board of missions are largely in excess of those for tho same pnriod In 1891.
