Captain G. Wantstoscorch Gladstone
was trying to spurt down South Main
street yesterday afternoon on abicycle.
When he came to Haviland street he
thought he would show ihe spectators
.how neatly he could turn the corner
even when going at such a marvelous (?)
rate of speed. ‘Alasl poor “Glady.”
Just as he braced these noted feet for
the supreme effort he chanced to glance
upward and saw an EVENING GAZETTE
reporter in a neighboring window
sketching his bicycle face as he turned
the corner. With a blush as red as a
giddy young girl George essayed to
turn. Then his face blanched. What!
was he going into the curbstone ? Then
he saw his mistake and set his teeth
just as he crashed into the sidewalk.
The wheel went one way and “Cindy”
the other. Gathering himself up he
took one glance at the window and then
fled for the police headquarters, where
he knew there was a whist broom and
bottle of arnica, which he had used
before, waiting for him.

Capt. Asbury Adams, who has been
connected with the United States fish
commission for a. number of years, and
has had a large experience in hatching
deep-sea fish at Ten Pound island and
Wood’s Hole, gave a talk on fish hatch-
ing before the Business Men’s associa-
tion the other evening, says a Glouces-
ter (Mass.)-dispatch to the. Boston Her-
ald. He said that last year the work of
,. " hatching lobster eggs was begun at Ten
Pound island, and one hundred million
. young' lobsters , were hatched and
liberated. He Said he had seen eels
suck eggsfrom lobsters in an aquarium
and he ‘had becoine convinced that the
greater part" of lobster spawn" is de-
str'byed in this manner. . '

An Experiment with Chinese Plants on
Columbia Slough Lakes.
The carp having played havoc with
the wapaltoes in the sloughs and ponds
on Sauvies island, on which the duckS,
geese and swan used to feed, Mr.
Reeder, of Reeder’s Landing, has se-
cured a. lot of Chinese wapatoes, which
he will plant as an experiment, and, if
they do well, will try to introduce
them in the lakes, etc., says the Pol-t-
land Oregonian. The Chinese here
consume agreat many wapatoes, and
also bring over from China. many which
are of a different species, being larger
and rounder. The only improvement
they will be on the native kind is that
they are too large for a carp to
swallow, while the ducks, etc., can
perhaps 'bite them in pieces and swallow
them.
' Several efforts have been made to
introduce plants on the island which
might attract the waterfowl and take»
the place of the wapatoes and widgeon
weed, but .all such attempts have
proved failures. Wild rice by the sack
has been brought from Wisconsin and
sowed here; the seeds of the wild
celery, which gives flavor to the can-
vasbacks of the Potomac and the
Chesapeake, have been sown, and the
seeds of the “wokus,” on which ducks
fatten at the Klamath- lakes, have been
planted; but none of them flourished,
The June rise of the Columbia is a. very
different thing from what any of these
plantshave been accustomed to, and
covers them with several feet ef water,
justat the time when they should be
making their growth. If something
cannot be done to preserve the native
plants on which the ducks, geese, and
swan feed the next generation will.-

NEW YORK, May 26. —I.-.' aglstrnte Simms
adjudged Robert li‘itrisimmons, prizefight-
er, innocent of assault-on the person of S.
Rosenberg, tailor, in the Jefferson Market
police court today. Rosenberg went to
the Bartholdi hotel, where Fitzsimmons
was staying, on Saturday afternoon to col.
loot a bill for cleaning a suit of the prize-
flghter’s clothes. He alleges that Fit;-
slmmons called him a disrespectful name
and knocked him down, after which the
prizeflghter sought to appease his anger
by giving him a drink. lie swore out a.
warrant for Fitzsimmcns, and it was
served yesterday. Fitzsiinmons was taken
to the West Thirtietli street station, where
he was registered as Robert Fitzsimmons,
blacksmith. 4
When the case was cailed'in the Jeffer-
son Market police court this morning.
Fltzsimmcne appeared represented by Abe
Hummel. Rosenberg was on hand with a
lawyer.
Fitzsimmons was put on the stand first.
'He said thathe was drinking in the cafe
of the Bartheldi hotel Saturday afternoon
when Rosenberg came up with a package
of clothes. He said that he directed Rosen-
berg to go to his wife and get the money.
This, he said, Rosenberg refused to do,
calling him a liar. “I laid my hand on his
shoulders,” said Fitzsimmons, “and told
him to go away if he didn't want to have
trouble. He fell down. When he got up,
I gave him a drink, paid him 82 for the
clothes, and he went away apparently con-
tent.” '
“Aren’t you in the habit of hitting peo-
ple?” asked Rosenberg’s lawyer.
“Yes, ” answored Fitzslmmons. “That’s
how I make my living. I’ve hit a number
of men, among others Hall, Mnher and
Creedon.” When the laugh this reply
created subsided, the lawyer asked:
“But don’t you often hit inoffensive
men? Didn’t you wantcnly beat a street
car conductor about two months ago?”
“Yes, I did strike a street car conductor
some time ago, and had you spoken of my
wife and mother as that fellow did I’d ’a’
punched your face good. ”
The lawyer started to ask another ques-
tion, but Magistrate Simms called him to
order. ,
The hotel clerk, the porter and one or
two men who were present when the tailor
accosted Fltzsimmons supported his tee
timony. and so he was discharged.

biej That They Find It
Profitable.
In proportion to their number there
are as many churches robbed. every
year by burglars and sneak thieves in
New. Yo‘rk city as there are private
residences entered. The daily papers
report attempts to rob poor boxes, to
loot pews and sittings of valuable fur-
nishings and books, and even to-remove
crosses and sacred vessels and vest-
ments used in altar services.
Probably the most daring and suc-
cessful attempt at looting a. church in
this city .was the despoliation of the
Thirty-feurth Street Baptist church
on the south side of that thoroughfare,
two doors west of Sixth avenue. This
occurred a. few Weeks ago, and there
was hardly enough of the interior left
to waste walls in its protection.
‘ Another similar case of vandalism
was that perpetrated at St. Joseph’s
Roman Catholic church at 177 Washing-
ton avenue. Here, in addition, the
date boxes were broken into and the of-
ferings of the devout—none. of whom
was overburdened with worldly wealth
It Seems Pro
‘ ——were appropriated by the sacfilegious
intruders. .
Nor have these church thieves’ visits
been confined to Christian edifices
alone. On June 5, 1894, the sexton of
Temple Enuno Israel, 301 West Twen-
ty-ninth street, was shocked on enter-
ing the synagogue to find that burglars
had broken in during the night and
stolen vestments, vessels and orna-
ments valued at $400, besides wantonly
destroying parchments and records
valued at $450 more. Among the valu~
ables secured were the rabbi’s silver
pointer and a rich altar cover. Timo-
thy Mooney when arrested on suspicion
by officers of the West Thirty-seventh
street station threw away the pieces of
the scroll which he had destroyed and
which the congregation valued very
hithy.—N. Y. Journal.

bearance was impossible to a fine New-
foundland dog, lying ex‘. ended on the

ly listening with much surprise and an-
noyance to a. strange language, of
