CAUGHT MONSTER FISH.
EADY ANGLER LANDED RIG JEW-
FISH OFF SANTA CATALINA
ISLAND, CALIFORNIA.
Finny Monsters of Three Hundred
Pounds and Upwards are Now
Caught With Rod and Reel- Jew-
fish a Gamey Fellow.
Women who enjoy angling, and, in
fact, everybody who likes to hunt and
fish, will be interested In the exploit
with rod and reel of Mrs. A. W. Bar
rett of L ob Angeles, Cal. The fish in
the case was a black sea bass, or Jew-
fish, of the Pacific Ocean, weight 368
pounds, caught off Santa Catalina Isl
and, Cal., last month by Mrs. Barrett
after 63 minutes ot strenuous battle.
The black sea bass of the Pacific-
one of the gamiest of Its kind—is in
season on the Southern California
coast from about April to November,
and affords favorite sport to anglers of
both sexes. Owing to Its great size, it
cannot, of course, be pulled with rod
and line into the boat, so, after one is
hooked, the plan Is to play it and tire
it out and ttien, as it comes exhausted
to the surface of the water alongside
the boat, the boatman thrusts his gaff
into it and tows tbe conquered levia
than ashore.
Up to twelve years ago no one
dreamed of landing these monsters of
the deep, except with heavy hand lines;
but since General C. D. Vlele, U. S. A.,
one summer day in 1894 managed to se
cure one with rod and reel, no true
angler thinks of fishing for them in any
other way than with a rod.
A well-known fisherman, in describ
ing his experience with this fish in the
Nature Library states that he has seen
a 200 pound black sea bass or jewfish
snap the largest shark line like a
thread, and large specimens straighten
out an Iron sbark-hook, while at tbe
same time skilled wlelders of the rod
catch these giants of the trllie with a
line no larger than an eye-glass cord.
His first experience with the Cali
fornia jewfish was a most remarkable
one.
“When we got out to the fishing
ground,” he stated, “the anchor was
tossed over, the rope ran merrily out,
and the hook baited with a 6-pound
whitefish, went hissing down to the big
submerged rock.
“ ‘Sometimes he bite, sometimes he
don't,’ remarked Joe; ‘but whether he
do or not, we have the flshfn' all the
same.’ And he looked at me Inquir
ingly, to see If I was of that variety
ire r >•
"I was an old shark fisherman, hav
ing caught many of these monsters in
the Mexican Gulf, and had taken a
Florida jewfish and a tarpon; and I
saw that work of a similar kind was
before me now. The line jerked
heavily In my hand, then began to
run steadily. When about 6 feet had
gone over the gunwale i stopped, gave
a glance at the coil to see that all was
clear, and when the line came taut
jerked the hook into my first jewfish.
“1 have every reason to believe that
the latter was astonished, as for a
single second there was no response;
then came a Jerk that almost lifted me
from the boat, and the line went hiss
ing over the rail like a living thing,
playing a merry hornqlpe of its own
composition. Nothing could stop such
a r ish, and I simply waited, while Joe
pulled up tbe anchor. When the latter
was In, I grasped the line and braced
back for tbe fight Tbe light boat
whirled around like a top, and away
we went, like a tug surging through
tbe wuter, an ominous wave of foam

There were great doings in Wash

of Representatives reached bls seven

In the first place a great storm of

appeared on the floor of the House.

it was a question who was master. I
took it in with the greatest difficulty,
gaining 10 feet, only to have the fish
rush toward me and then dash away
with an impetus that was more than
Irresistible. Then I would stop him
again, slowly making foot by foot,
hand over band, taking a turn on the

to tire the monster—tactics that for a
while were of no avail.
“One of the tricks of this fish was
to stop a id jerk his head from side

blows at the holder of the line—tre

line would slacken as the fish rushed
up. And if I took the line in quickly
enough to prevent a turn, well and
good; if I did not, the fish would turn
and dash at the bottom, making every
thing hum and sing.
“Giving and taking, hauling and eas

satisfied that I had done my whole

the fish rushed up, and recovering, I

those who confused years with age.
Uncle Joe was “seventy years young."
President Roosevelt joined in the
ovation, offering the Speaker his

was getting old. but because he was
doing it gracefully. Mr. Cannon di«l
two things which might worry many
a younger man. First he had«to sign
something over a thousand photo
graphs of himself, which were given to
the guests as souvenirs, aud again he
shook hands with the guests upon re
ceiving an equal number of personal
congratulations.
There were many sly digs and re
marks regarding the buzzing of tho
presidential bee around Mr. Cannon's
head, and one of tbe throng remarked
at the close of the reception, “Auy man
who can stand and shake hands with
twelve hundred or more persons be
tween nine and twelve o'clock, and not
show signs of fatigue, is well fit to
enter tbe presidential race, and ought
to enjoy the prize if he wins it”
There were many friends present
from Danville, Ill., who had sent a
number of handsome wreaths and
floral decorations. Mr. Cannon, how
ever, is a native of Gullford, N. C.,
and If his friends have their way the
Speaker will tie the first Southern man
since the war to become a White
House occupant
Speaking seriously of the presidency,
Mr. Cannon said, "No man would de

United States, but not all men can af
ford to be a candidate for the place.
The bee Is not bothering me. I want
to do my work as Speaker: that will bo
glory enough for me, and If I were
a candidate I'd have to lie about my
age, and I'd have to live constantly In
fear and trembling, not as to whether
I'm doing my duty, but as to whether,

the national game of any of his asso

has played It, aud never misses an
exhibition when be Is In the city, and
a ball game is advertised.
ARDENT CONGRESSIONAL FANS.
There are nearly five hundred con.
gressmen in the two branches of the
national legislature and It is pretty
safe to predict that fully one-half ot
this number are interested attendants
during the chamnlonshlp season. They
are not at all dmmaved at the pros

when sure of an afternoon’s recrea
tion following a long-drawn war of
words at the Capitol earlier in the
day.
President Roosev It a few weeks
ago. was presented with a golden pass,
entitling him to free admission to alt
ball gatpes In the National and Ameri
can League* and circuits. He prom
ised the presentation committee to en

dispel the Irksome routine of depart

game whenever they can steal nway
from their desks. They generally Hit

eral Moody has a warm spot in his
heart for the catcher, having played
that position when he wns a collegian.
Vlce-Preslaent Fairbanks wants a
front seat when he goes out to witness
the national game, his favorite place

that in the home there should be Im

the Idea Is never advanced excepting in
a spirit of kindliness and of tbe broad
est kind of sympathy. Her love for
the masses is not simulated; it Is tbe
Joy of her heart. She has paid tbe rent
for many a widow and orphan; baa
helped out so that tbe little ones may
attend school, and has provided tbe
mother with employment so that the
home may be kept together.
Mrs. Coxe’s home, like her life, is tbe
paragon of modesty; she lead« the
"simple life" In all its real simplicity.
Her chief atm seems to be to assist the
poor and needy. She has no pet phil

are no wonderful gowns, no costly mil

after all, the charity which she dis
penses that has won for her tbe love

ERS A FOUNDA TION FOR AN EN
DURING SOCIAL STRUCTURE
An Address by George H. Maxwell
at Bloomington, IH„ Showing How
This Principle Will Overcome Op
pression by Combination of Capital.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention:—
•
I am a profound believer In the capa
city of the human race to work out the
high destiny of which it is capable If
Its genius is rightly directed. I am a
most extreme optimist In my expec
tations of what tbe people of this na
tion will eventually accomplish in se
curing in fact as well as In theory not
only equal rights, but equal opportun
ity for all men and tbe achievement by
all our people of the highest average
standard of life of which all are cap
able and which can be brought within
the reach of all.
Unless this Is accomplished our
boasted civilization will be but a
wave on the great ocean of time, ris
ing into a brief existence, only to be
submerged, as all the civilizations that
have gone before us have been sub
merged, lienenth the rottenness and
corruption which has followed In
evitably In the wake of vast accumu
lation of wealth, and the gradual ab
sorption of the land into great estates.
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.
Already In this country the hand
writing is on the wall, and he who
runs may rend tbe warning which
Byron painted In words when he
wrote:
“There Is a moral of all human tales,
'Tts but the same rehearsal of tho past.
First freedom, aud then glory—when that
falls.
Wealth, vice, corruption—barbarism at
last.
And history, with all her volumes vast.
Hath but one page.”
Our history will not be written on
that page, and 1 am here to tell you
why, and to tell you that your move
ment In the line of co-operation Is one
of the reasons why we will escape the
fate that liaB at last destroyed all the
great nations of the past
But we have already reached the
stage of “wealth—vice—corruption.”
No one who knows wliut goes on In this
country doubts that for a moment.
If any one questions It he should read
the recently published book entitled
“The Rhame of the Citi-- ” by Lincoln
Steffens.
How are these dangers to be safe
guarded against?
THE CAR OF JUGGERNAUT.
It cannot be done by purifying tho
cities, because they cannot be purified.
Man will not rise aliovo his environ
ment or the dominating Influence of
that environment, and tbe Influence
which controls al! things in our mod
ern city is the mad race for wealth.
It la a car of Juggernaut which crushes
public and private integrity and
morality and every Just conception of
patriotism under Its wheels as it rolls
ruthlessly onward, driven by the
multitude who are ready to sacrifice
not only themselves, hot their country
in the great gamble for quickly gained
wealth.
We clos<>d up the Louisiana lottery

COOPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH

eventually become a great co-operative
commonwealth.
I am not pro|>oslng socialism, as Its
devotees understand It, or as It Is
qaually defined and understood, as a
remedy.
I am proposing the exact opposite
of it
I am proposing the very highest
form of Individual rights, opportunity,
activity and development.
Socialism is to dream about doing
tilings, and to begin at the wrong end
and fall.
Co-operation Is to do things, and to
begin at the right end and succeed.
Co-operation is evolution—not revo
lution.
Evolution Is tbe taw of God.
Evolution Is tbe natural law which
has controlled tbe creation of tbe
earth and all that there Is on It
It Is the taw of the development of
the human race, and we need only to
learn its lessons and study It as a
method for the solution of every social
problem to save tbe people of this
nation from the social and political
dangers that confront them today.
The trouble with moat theories for
the reform or bet term ent of social con

They are as unchangeable as the
stars.
Whatever men may do they must
first learn to do.
Every oppression from which the
producers of this country or any other
sufferer to-day Is because they have
not learned or been tralued to do for
themselves the things which they
leave It to others to do for them.
And those to whom they leave such
things to be done, plan to make the
greatest possible profit to tbeuiselve*
for doing them.
It is human nature that they should
and always bus been aud always w[ll

THE PHILOSOPHY OF BUe Busi-
The broad solution of oy
problems which I am preset«,
you contemplate* the creatlod1
dltlons In this country under which
we will carry Into practlcoMrffect the
sound philosophy of Ruskin "When b*
said:
“But since we live In an epoch of
change and too, probably, of revolu
tion, and thoughts which are not to
be put aside are in tbe minds of all
men capable of thought, I am obliged
to affirm tbe one principle which can
and In the end will close all epochs
of revolution—that each man shall
poaaea* tbe ground he can use, and no
more.”
It contemplates as a part of our
public school system that every boy
should be trained so that lie will know
bow to till the land for a livelihood.
It contemplates that the rush to tbe
cities ahull be *topi*ed by tbe better
ment of all the conditions of rural life
—good roads, near-by neighbors, rural
telephones, net works of eleotrlo rail
ways, rural free delivery, tblokly
settled communities and town* and
villages In close proximity to every
farm home, so that every furuuy muy
enjoy as well as the city dweller the
advantages of schools and churches
and libraries and gymnasiums, and
where art ami music may be atu
for enjoyment In the home a* wel
In tbe cities.
It contemplates that wherever^
thing to be done for the benettl
such a community requires tbe e
of more than one man, that those who'
require to have tbe thing done for
them, whatever It may be, shall com
bine together and do It for themselves,
provided It Is within reach ot the
united and co-operative energy and
capital of the aggregated number of
Individuals who require to have the
thing done for them.
In this category are creameries,
laundries, rural telephones, associa
tions for tlie co-operative purchase of
supplies, associations for tbe sale or
disposition of the products of the soil,
and many other association* wtdeb I
might mention for mutual economy,
mutual benefit or matual protection.

necessary, co-operative canal systems

category; and In mauy part* of tbe
country where irrigation la not now
generally supposed to be necessary,
