What the Emperor Fraaela Joseph. From Gentlewoman. A story Is recounted of the Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, apropos to his visit to Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, just before the celebrated treaty of Berlin handed over to that state the respective porta of pizza and Antivarl, on the Adriatic. It was at Cattaro, in the province of Dialmatla. Glancing up at the frown- ing Montenegrin mountains, whose summits were outlined with glowing lamps In honor of the occasion, the emperor turned to Prince Nicholas sndtremarked, smiling ly: I'Mv brother dwells on the heights." ire, repuea me prince, witn a uepre- catlng gesture, "the Turks have robbed me of the earth, the- Austrian! took the sea, heaven alone remained to me." Be non vero ben trovato.

However redolent of stern truth these words may have been nlgtv 20 years ago, we are glad to know that "a change has come o'er the snlrit" of European dreams, and to day Montenegrin peopio stand no longer desolate and sinned against, but free, independent, and contented. Montenegro in tne oiav language iier-nagora, and In the Turkish Kara-Dagh means "Black "Oh, Slavonian," says a national ballad, "wherever thou art whether freeman or serf, rejoice that, so' long as the Black mountain exists, tnou nasi uoeny arm a home."

The facea are Intellgent and full of expression, wnue the eyes have that incisive, penetrating dance habitual to men who have been forced to consider the smallest objects with keen attention, as tne male portion or the population looks upon agricultural pursuits as dishonoring, their women have from time immemorial cultivated the land (such it in), looked after the house and cattle, and drawn the needful water supply from afar. It must not be assumed, however, that they are looked down upon bv their lords and masters. Not so. Se verely chaste and faithful, the Montenegrin woman is neiovea or tier spouse ana respected by her war-loving sons: proud of her family, and devoted to her borne, she recalls the Roman -matron in the best dava of the great renuhlic.

The religion of this interesting little state Is partly catholic, partly orthodox Greek, the latter predominating. Had It not been ror tne renning innuence ot unnatianiiy, the Montenegrins, race to race for so many ages with the social disorders of the east, would have lost that purity of domes tic lire, generous noepitauty, respect tor the aged and the orphan, and other Chris tian virtues, wnicn. line a vein or soia.

From the ICew York Journal When the. fishing season has-ended tn our northern waters the' average angler migrates to Florida to Indulge In his pis catorial sport; cut (t Is no longer necessary to go so far from home to experience some ot the finest sport that ever gladdened the heart of a nsberman. Recent important discoveries la shore fishing off Beaufort and Moorhead City, N.

completely modify the prevailing ideas about our fishermen and sportsmen about the dull winter season. The question of where the deep sea flah alone our coast go to In winter has puxsled scientists and fishermen, and it was the general belief that they migrated with the birds to more troDical climes. This, however, appears now not to be the case at an. instead of starting on in shoals to find wanner waters, they merely seek some extremely deep corrugations ot the coast and drop down to a depth where storms and cold waves cannot disturb them. In these quiescent waters they pass the winter in a state or love ana courtship that is extremely Interesting.

The ocean on tne Nortn Carolina coast is literally alive with the littoral species of fish in the winter season, provided one goes down deep enougn to nna tnem. it was by mere accident that this discovery was made. The fishermen always tied up their seines and fish lines in December, but to-day they catch more fish In the winter months than In the summer. The fish are found about six fathoms beneath the surface of the sea and they can be hauled ud by the ton. Last winter In five days the haul off Beaufort was 103,000 I pounds of trout and 125,000 cronkers.

A i man averaged as high as 70 per day and the captains of fishing schooners made moderate lortunes. The reason for this Is that the nan nine In the deep holes at this place in sucn numbers that a seine cannot be put down among them without bringing up enough to fill a rowboat. Most of the fish that have 'been taken were young red drum. about a foot in length, gray trout or weakflsh, spotted sea trout, nearly related to the latter, and cronkers, a species whtth forage around the oyster beds in summer When the winter habitat of the Dsn was first discovered It was a problem now to reach them. Long lines with baited hooks and five-Dound sinkers on them could be dropped down to the fish and a sportsman nmiM hmil In all hA WfintMl tn In a dav.

nut work was slow ond laborious. The a.t. Jk mmm ttYm Im rmm fish were gamey, and with six fathoms of line and five pounds of lead in addition to the fish on the end It was no easy Job to land a catch. It was sport for the first hour, but after that it was naraer woric man rasing ior clams or tonglng for oysters. Fishermen made a better living, however, in this way than ever before, and they continued to use the line until something better rnuM be Invented.

This year, nowever, an improvea aeep water seine nas been inventea, ana xnertad that thousands of tons Of fish will be brought up by it. The seine opens and closes like a sail, a long spar neav-llv wnlirhi.ed and about 40 feet long SUP- ports tne net and when closed it looks like a sail furled. This la dropped to the bottom of the sea by the fishermen, and then by Jerking guy ropes the seine is un- llert from It.

Instead of turning a deaf ear lo the man's suoDllcatlons and getting off as quick as he could, as some people might nave aone, tne mutionaire at once stoppea and proceeded to ply the man with ques tions as to why ha didn't try to get work) Instead of begging, whether he had a wife ana children to support, ana so on. The beggar, who was aware of the iden tity of the man talking to him, and thought he might be in for a really good thli.j, pored out the usual story of hla woes into the millionaire's ears whether true or no la not, for the moment, of con sequence. The millionaire continued to listen atten tively, and the beggar's hopes of bring ing eft a "scoop" rose higher and higher. 'men tne millionaire put nis nnai question.

"How long have you been begging?" be said, suavely. "Over twenty years, kind gentleman." was the reply. "Ah," said the millionaire, reflectively.

W. election at Albany in February next and the many complications thai mav arise therefrom. One es pecially, regarding what action the west ern states wouia axe in toe event oi int.r candidate being defeated, was the cause of not a little unfavorable comment.

which, it would anuear. was altogether un justified. The drift of these remarks will be found In the following extract from a letter to the writer on this very subject, from the western candidate for the presi dency himself, A Cressy Morrison, in wh.ch he outlines the way the matter la considered In that section or tne country; "Regarding the presidential question, as a westerner fully in touch with western sentiment I would say the westerners feel that the best roan for the presidency should be elected: that the good of the league is pr.martly the object fo which they ail Intend to vote, and that they ma thro ara rood men for this office In the west. They feel that sooner or later tha east will concede to them the chief executive office, but that statement, which emanated from Philadelphia, that there was liable to be a split in the league unless their desires were recognised and a western president given them tn year, Is utterly absurd and so completely unwarranted that it scarcely deserves a denial. i "The western divisions, while expressing the opinion that the presidency should be conceded to them, do not forget their debt to the east nor the league's debt to the east for Its magnlnccnt memoersnip, ami will loyally support in every resepect the man who is selected by the national body nt Albany.

Whether he comes from the ot wsat hn north or the south. the western divisions will be among his most loyal supporters. Th aroomnanying Is a likeness of Capt. Knorr, of the Pittsburg college reserve team, which played a great and exciting game with the crack championship eleven of the Y. F.

DON'T ASK, WHAFS NEW? INIERES Frank Jarvls won another victory last night-In the indoor fames at Princeton, pulling down the hop. skip and jump.

standing, from the four-Inch mark, with out trouble. His distance was 29 feet 1 Inch. Jarvls Is improving wonderfully under the careful training he gets at Princeton, and will undoubtedly do soma remarkably fast work by next season if he keeps his health. Princeton trainers say ha Is crm of the most promising sprinters evw in the college, and Is beyond a doubt the making of a champion. It is probable that Jarvia will appear at the Indoor championship events at Madison Square Garden in February, and if he does it is just as probable he will show some of the crackerjacks the sort ol hurry that Pitts'-! burgers can get Into when occasion re- quires.

The Indoor carnival of sports at Madison Square garden on February 13 gives promise of being one of the greatest in door events ever iieia unaer me sanuuon of the A. A. U. The ten-mile run and the two-mile steeplechase are the events that are attracting most attention, ah tne crack distance runners of America will compete, and owing to the fact that the last Marathon jroad race was such a phH nomenai success it is expeeiea mat at least twenty-live runners will toe the mark 1 in both ot these events. It is the inten tion of James E.

Sullivan to give five prizes In, tha. ten-mile run, if the amendment to the A. A. V. rules allowing the giving or tnese prizes is carried.

The two-mile steeple chase will be an affair that will please the public, Nothing is prettier than to see the jumpers me nrusn. manager aanger is now con sidering the advisability of making a stone wall on a movable stand, which will be one of the obstacles the hurdlers will have to take in this steeplechase. The open handicap events are as follows: Sixty yards run, handicap; 220 yards run, naiimcup; bsu yaras run, Handicap; one mile waik. handicap: stw yards, nev- ice; pole vault for height, handicap, limit, six inches; one mile bicycle race, handi-. cap.

It promises to be a record-breaking meeting. C. Hamilton, the well-known pole vauiter, wno won me Metropolitan association pole vaulting cnampionsnip. ana vauitea tne nignest in tne nationui championship meeting, is now In strict training for the New Jersey games, and will endeavor to -break the indoor pole-vaulting record. A one-mile bicycle race has been added to the program.

Besides the championships ond -the open handi cap events, many other interesting fea tures will be added to the carnival of SDorts. Entries close with James E. Sul livan, 241 Broadway, New Xork, Feb ruary 1. Hale, the winner of the six days bicy cle race at the Madison square Kara, last week, came over with Hummer and tne otner fcniriiisnmen. ana wnen he start ed he was considered one of the weakest men in I lummer string.

Tne supposed stars gave out ana Mummer was com pelled to tie up to Hale. It was a case of having a cinch and not knowing.lt. There will be a dinntr In New York city on Ijecember 18 which will bring together about all Of the men who were responsi ble ror tne organization or the League ot Ami rican heelmen. The Boston Bicycle club has the honor of being the pioneer oicycie ciuo or me country, out tne ivew York Bicycle club claims the honor of being responsible for the birth of the L. A.

The New York del gallon, which can al most turn the tide, has always been a unit on every qutation up to now. It will not follow Potter in his friendship for Elliott. The ofllcers of the division will not support Elliott under any circumstances; they win boom PottT whether he wants the office or not. This is raid to be official. Mr.

Elliott has made some mistakes which the wheelmen of the empire state say they cannot overlook. The lively interest taken In the new machines for 1617 augurs well for the gen eral welfare of the industry for the com ing season, i tie larger manufacturers re alizing that the riders are not all of one mind regarding accessories will offer more options for the next season than ever. These options will Include any heights of frame or gearing for the whe 1, tires, han dle bars and evervthlna else In reason. The popularity of the wooden handle bars lor next season eetrna assur. a ana many of the expert riders will insist upon having tnem on tneir wneeis nereaiter.

Tht meeting of the Allegheny Cyclers last night was a very well attended one and gave Indication of a deep Interest in the affairs of the club by the members. Plans for the work of the coming season were discussed tnd preparations made for still greater activity than heretofore on both track and road. The initiation fee was reduced to tl until April 1, In order to get a lot of new members during the dull season. The club smoker and musical entertainment to-night promises to be a very enjoyable occasion. Buffalo, Philadelphia and New York are all hustling for the next annual race meet of the L.

A. with the Indications in favor of Philadelphia for pulling the plum. New York is making1 a great fight but it is hardly likely that the Metropolis1 will get the meet, as crowd that attends suoh gatherings would simply be swallowed up in the bustling bigness of the city. The hockey game between the champion Yale team and the local aggregations scheduled for to-morrow, Saturday and Monday evenings are of course oft, owing to the burning of the The Yale team was notified by telegraph not to come and effortB are now being made to arrange gam between the Pittsburg team and the Yale team at Nicholas rink, New York. It is probable that this will go through, but the big eastern trip planned by the team for next month will be dropped.

All the local hockey teams lost about all thty had in the lire. The Pltts-burgs, P. A W. U. P.

and the inter-soholastlc teams lost their outfit and skates, the loss of the Plttshurgs being over 300. The fire practically puts an end to indoor hockey for the winter, and unless P. A. C. gets its grounds into shape for ekating thtre will be very little outdoor playing.

P. A. C. Is considering me aavisBDinty oi nooaing its pant, now-ever, and It is probable that this will be done in the very near future. If it Is most of the games arranged for the Casino will be played at the park.

The Duquesne country and athletic cluh has a very interesting game of indoor baseball scheduled for Saturday evening between teams picked from the club members. Ed Young will captain one team and J. B. Vandergrlft the other. P.

S. Collins, secretary-treasurer of the Pennsylvania division, who is being urged by the friends of Isaac Potter to accept a nomination to the vice presidency of the League of American Wheelmen on a ticket with New York's chief consul at Its head, says that he cannot see his way clear toward acepting the honor. Although greatly interested in league work in its connection with the Pennsylvania division, he really Is not seeking national honors. Such a combination would bf a winning one for the Potterites, for Mr Collins can secure the Pennsylvania vote and Potter ulready has the 'New York ballot tucked away safelv In h's vest porket. The empire and keystone states will together poll over 40 per cent -of the votes in the next national assemhly at Albany In February, and this, with the rumors of dissension in Elliott's stronghold in Massachusetts and a few minor deals with some of the western states, would make Potter-Collins ticket an Ideal one from the view po nt of New York's bald-headed chief consul's friends.
