was soon called to Boston, that modern
Athens, which knows eloquence and good
oratory better than any other place. So
heweut to Boston, and there he staid for
tome little while. But shortly he was
called to the Twenty-third street Baptist
church in New York. Here, as has been
said before, the seating capacity was not
large enough to hold the crowds which
flocked to hear this young man who had
something to say. and said it in a man­
ner so eloquent and unconventional that
the most idle wayfarer was attracted
and detained.
He has outgrown his church and has
had to hire larger quarters. Even these
are inadequate, and he has a plan which
will in less than a year 1» carried out.
He proposes to build a “city temple” or
a “people's church” which shall com­
fortably hold at each meeting 5.000
auditors. His plans contemplate that
this shall be a free church, and that the
building shall in the main be given np
to business purposes.

has one supreme
redeeming point
—it is the open­
ing of the season for trout fishing.
Nowhere in the world can this charm­
ing sport lie enjoyed in a greater perfec-
tian than in the United States, and no­
where can it be enjoyed for so long, not­
withstanding the legislation enacted to
preserve the fish. After the first fishing,
which is that of Long Island, is nearly
at an end then that of southern Ohio
and New York commences and contin­
ues alon' through the summer in the
Pennsylvania streams and the waters
of upper New York, and later than Sep­
tember in Maine.
Or the ardent fisherman may begin
earlier and farther afield. On the coasts
of the Pacific he can whip the swift
streams of Oregon or even draw his prize
out of an icehole near Portland, where
the laws permit him to kill after Feb.
1; thence coming southward and east­
ward he finds the game fish everywhere
fine and plentiful. In March he may
fish iq the swirling rapids of small
streams emptying into the Rio Grande,
and toward April, turning northeasterly
he will reach the streams of Long Island
in time for the trout of that region, vast
in number and of unrivaled excellence.
A little later he will find ample exercise
for his skill in the waters of northern
and western Pennsylvania, while there
still remains for bis appetite, grown by
what it fed on, the streams of northern
New York, of Maine and New England
and last, far into the summer, the lakes
and rivprs which empty into the St.
Lawrence and the wild shores of Gaspe
and Chalenrs.
Alike as they are in general traits, the
fish of each stream and lake has some
peculiar feature: even two lakes com­
municating with each other by a com­
mon channel may contain two different

the chief benefit out of the protective

the figures just given show that while
manufactures increased 408 per cent, in
thirty-eight years, farming increased
only 252 per cent. If farming were fa­

attracted away from the farm in such'

more profitable calling; new acres would

THE ANGLER FROM THE CITY AT WORK,
fisher will have to purchase fish in or­
der to preserve his reputation. As to
flies themselves, the debate among an­
glers as to whether they should lx- accu­
rately copied from nature or composed
of any gay and taking colors similar to
nothing in existence is going on still, and
probably will go on while a trout re­
mains in the streams. The men who
fish and let others do the talking prefer
in general the gay fly, particularly the
red hackle, which has more ardent vota­
ries than any other. Last year the gaudy
scarlet ibis feather with a gold tinsel
body was used with good effect. In
the fishing around Cape Cod last spring
the ginger hackles deepening to jet
black were splendidly successful, while
in other streams of Massachusetts this
particular fly killed nothing, and was
superseded by a hackle with gold tin­
seled body and a black palmer.
On the Marshpee river the copper and
green peacock hurl had its own way
quite through the season of 1889, but in
1890 it was found to be almost valueless.
A man who wishes to kill trout must
not imagine they are bullheads, but go
aliout it in the belief that these fish have
brains and memory. So it is every man
for himself, and tho less one vaunts his
particular fly the better.
In fact, one might use the same words
alxmt nearly everything in connection
with trout fishing. Much as one would
like to advise the enviable youth who is
having his first season of sport this
spring, little that is valuable can be im­
parted by even the oldest hand at the
rod and tackl*. Every man must learn
his own territory by experience, and gen­
eralizations in this art are not very use­
ful in America, however well they may
serve in Europe. This certainly can be
said, that no way of trout fishing, how­
ever great tin catch by other methods,
is so delightful as with the fly, the rod
and reel and the landing net.
Then the angler is prepared for the
Juniata, the Wyoming and other equally
fine streams in the Allegheny and Blue
Ridge. He is ready, too, for the lovely
and romantic Chemung, in western New
York, for the splendid fishing grounds of
the Black river and the Racket, and, in­
deed, so expert will he become with
practice, both in choosing flies and cast­
ing them, that whether he fishes in the
crystal streams of the northern Ohio
counties, in the cold mineral waters of
the Lake Superior region, in the pine
breaks of Maine and the Adirondack

Cutting’ Off Woolen Imports.
The imports of woolen gooda iu De­
cember were about $1,400,000 less than
for the same mouth iu 1889, a result
which was naturally to be expected from
the enormous McKinley duties on
woolen goods, Under the old tariff law
blankets paid duties equivalent to from
69 to 73 per cent, ad valorem; the duties
imposed by McKinley are equal to from
71 to 119 per cent. The highest duty on
wool hats under the old law was equiva­
lent to 72 per cent., the lowest to 64;
now the highest and lowest equivalent
ad valorem are 112 and 66 per cent, re­
spectively.
On flannels the increase is very large.
The old duties ran from 65 to 83; they
are now equal to from 75 to 123. Knit
goods were taxed from 63 to 73 per cent.;
the duties now range from 79 to 166 per
cent. The old duties on women’s and
children's dress goods ranged from 60 to
68 per cent.; the McKinley duties are
equal to from 73 to 123 percent. Plushes
bore duties ranging from 79 to 84 per
cent.; the present duty is equal to 122
per cent.
The above articles are such as add to
the comfort of life. They cannot come
into the country unless they are wanted
by our people^ to shut them out at the
rate of $1,400,000 a month is simply to
prevent our own people from getting
what they want. Americans have their
liberty of purchase restricted; and yet it
is pretended that this restriction is
“ for
the good of the American people!
The agricultural editors often urge
upon farmers the importance of getting
new seed, as the repeated growth of the
same varieties tends to make them “run
out.” They add that the most profitable
transfer is usually from north to south,
especially in xvhea« and potatoes. But it
is a surprise to read further that the im­
port of these articles from Canada for
the fanner's use is increasing. We had
been told that the farmer was “protect­
ed” against Canada wheat and potatoes.

Without pausing on this apparent phe-
nomenon, which is explained by the
quality of the waters themselves, to men-
tion it is to show that the periods of
spawning, of growth, iucrease and de­
cay are likewise variable, therefore the
legislative enactments of various states
are easily comprehended in spite of their
wide diversity. Volume 1 of the book
of the game laws for 1891 shows the open

celebrated English sportsman first used
the fly on Long Island waters, and took
near Fireplace a catch of fifty good fish
before dinner, a feat which is still talked
of admiringly by the anglers at Car­
man's pond. This Englishman used a
fly which is described as follows: Body
of hare's ear fur and hackle of a wood­
cock’s wings—a fly to which old fish­
ermen who make their own often now
| resort.
I Since this tremendous take the flies
which have been put together are al-
most legion, and new ones are shown
every spring. There are fishermen who
persist in using the bait all through their
season. It is a fact often proved by ob­
servation that in March or April the
bait is more killing than the flv, but that
from May to the end of the season the
fly fisher will fill his creel when the bait
