Boyhood's First Bait Successful Sometimes When All Others Fail. 1'robably there is not an American angltT alive today who did not begin in boyhood with alible worms and a short line aud certainly there is not one who doi-s mil like to go back occasionally to that primitive time and method. The and Wurm with which he began is the best all-around tish bait in the world. Every tish in the waters likes it except the whale, and it has novor been tried on the whale. Of a certainty, muskallonsre and the various forms of pike, nil kinds of bass, nil kinds of trout and all small tislies will take it on certain days when they will take else.

Often bass have been captured with it when they have refused all known lures. In lishinir for perch or croppies, which are legitimately the fish to be taken by the worm, it is the custom to string one worm on the hook, running the hook through -from end to end. seeing that the end is carefully d. and some of the older anglers, still returning to boyhood time. on the bait.

In tishing for bass, however, it is better to put as many worms as possible upon the hook, spiking them on any way and every way. leaving their ends wrigling in a writhing mass, making a bunch two inches long by an inch thick. Kven the oldest, laziest and wisest bass sometimes finds itself unable to resist so appetizing a meal. Tliis kind of big. blunt, surly obstinate tish is generally hidden under lily pads in from six to eight feet of water.

It goes under the pads because it wishes to be alone, because minnows go there to escape the rushes which pursue them in open water aud because the broad, thick pads shield it from the sun. It may be that in a space of twenty square yards of pads there are half a dozen such corpulent loafers eyeing another dimly and wondering which will bp the tirst to taste flesh. If the bout with the man conies surgin; upon the pads, the oars swirling through the water at each stroke and a big ripple at the prowl, these bass, disgustedly disturbed, will go elsewhere. They must be approached with infinite caution. It is better that the angler take advantage of the wind, and having first prepared his bunch of worms go to the windward side of the pads by thirty yards and slowly Irift down.

It will be better still if. having reached the edge of the pads and drifted a yard into them, he sit perfectly still for live minutes, giving the tish below chance to get used to the shadow of the boat and to return to their stations: they will always move a little and be a little alarmed when the boat first conies near them. Then, having wailed and kept still, the cast should be most likely made. If twenty feet be covered, it Avill be enough. The bunch in all likelihood will fall upon one of the pads and that will be all the better.

It must be suffered to lie there for half a minute and then be drawn slowly to the of the pad, finally toppling off in a natural manner and sinking slowly. If no strike results it must be drawn on to the next pad. keep quiet a little while and then pulled into the water. If this be properly done three or four times the worms gradually nearing the boat as the reel is turned, it is Odds on that there will be a heavy direct rush, the greed pads rising above it as it comes, and the worms will be taken down in one mighty gulp. The bass, when it makes up its mind to move, will move suddenly.

It may lie still and watch the worms for live minute's, but it occurs to it in a sort of flash of inspiration that some other bass will grab the morsel unless it takes action, and then it comes savagely. Instantly the hook should be driven in hard and a line as taut as a fiddle string be kept. The bass is old and wise and the moment it feels the pain kvill dive and attempt to wrap the line about the pads or get behind a mass of weeds. If lie succeeds the chances are much in its favor. Hefore it can be pulled through the weeds the hook will tear out, and if the line be wrapped around the lily stems the bass will snap itself loose in a couple plunges.

If there be not an inch of slack, however, it must trust to its muscle, ami that will generally fail. It is useless to cut salt pork into minnow-like strips for. while it is a staple and attractive lure, the largest bass are never taken with it. but that is not true of the bunch of worms. The very biggest of the tribe is apt to come to tiiis bait.

Indeed, it often happens that some small boy. fishing over a boat's Bide for croppies, will hook a four-pound bass and be frightened half to death until it gets away. BEWAHK OF OINTMENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

ON THE STREET Jersey City Postoffice Employe Narrowly Escaped Lynching. New York, Sept. D. Grady, a clerk in the Jersey City post- office, shot his wife, Rose Agnes Grady, on the street in that city yesterday. The woman is probably fatally wounded.

United States cruiser Cincinnati landed 50 marines yesterday and also sent ashore a small rapid-fire gun, which was placed on a railroad truck protected by iron plates. were placed as guards on the trains running across the Uth- mus. It is believed that this will prevent the holding up of trains by Colombian government troops and revolutionists. The reports which reached here yesterday of a skirmish between insurgent and government forces near Mindi station are now learned to have been magnified. No skirmish actually occurred, hut government soldiers fired a few shots upon sighting insurgent spies moving between Mindi and Monkey Hill.

Monkey Hill is about one mile from Colon. Marines Guard Trains. Panama, Colombia, Sept. IS. Potter, of the United States cruiser Hanger, this morning placed guards on the trains running across the isthmus.

This step was taken in addition to the marines landed yesterday morning at Colon from the cruiser Cincinnati. It is not thought probable that the revolutionists will attempt to interrupt transit on the railway. General Salazer, commander of the government forces on the isthmus, and Acting United States Consul Ehrmann were in conference yesterday. The general was informed that the measure of placing guards on the trains could not be considered as an act of hostility to Colombia, but that it was only taken under the necessity of ensuring uninterrupted traffic over the railway. The government has just received a telagram from Colon saying that the first 1,000 men of General Perdomo's army has arrived there.

RIGHTS ON THE ISTHMUS Colombian Officials Say Inspection of Trains Is Necessary. Washington, Sept. Concha, the Colombian minister here, has cabled to Governor Salazar, of Panama, for a comprehensive report of the situation which has arisen on the isthmus as a of the delay to traffic caused by Colombian troops on Monday. The officials of the Colombian legation do not approve of the means employed by the government troops to hold up the trains, but they do point out an inspection of incoming and outgoing trains is necessary as a measure of protection. A disturbing factor in the situation on the isthmus, it is said, is that the greater part of the officials and employes of the Panama Railroad are either Liberals outright or Liberal sympathizers.

Indeed, the officials here recall an occasion some months ago when the trains ran very slowly into Colon in order to hide from view a party of revolutionists who were marching on foot along one side, and who captured the town with little difficulty. 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF ANTIETAM Two Memorials Unveiled and Site Selected For Another Marked Event. Frederick. Sept. unveiling of two memorials and the selection of a site for a new $10,000 monument on the Antiotam battlefield marked the 40th anniversary of the battle of Antietam.

Sixty survivors of the Thirty-fourth New York Regiment, Volunteer Infantry, took part yesterday in the ceremonials attendant upon the unveiling of the monument which they had erected to commemorate th(p memory of their dead comrades. The veterans of the Twentieth New York Regiment. Volunteer Infantry, known as the Turner Rifles, took advantage of the anniversary to unveil with impressive ceremonies a memorial window in the Lutheran church of Sharpsburg. Survivors of the regiment to the number of 123 took part in the ceremonies. A committee representing the 'state of New Jersey visited the battlefield yesterday and selected a site for the erection of a monument to New Jersey soldiers who fell at Antietam, for which the legislature has appropriated flO.COO.

The site chosen by the committee is at the junction of Broad avenue and the Hagerstown pike, opposite the Massachusetts state monument, and near the Philadelphia Brigade monument. It was stated that work on the memorial will begin at once. Ohio will soon begin the erection of two monuments to Its soldier dead on Antietam field, one of them to the memory of President McKinley, for which the Ohio legislature has appropriated $20,000.

Washington. Sept, 18. With the double purpose of protecting the longsuffering Jews of the Balkan states and of averting the very present peril of the immigration into the United States of a horde of paupers, Secretary Hay has adopted the unusual course of appealing powers of Europe to force Roumania to observe the obligations of humanity in case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a state paper, remarkable in several respects, which has been dispatched in identical form to every ambassador and minister of the United States residing in one of the countries of Europe which were parties to the famous treaty at Berlin of 1878, namely: Great Britain. France, Germany, Russia, IVily, Austria and Turkey, marking the termination ot the Turko- Russian war and the creation by the direct act of the powers of the independent Balkan states.

Because the powers are thus re- sensible for the existence of Roumania. the secretary of state has directed the note to them, in the hope that they will bring this government to a sense of its duties towards civilization at large, as well as to cause it to ameliorate the frightful condklon of the Roumanian Jews. In a measure this acti'JI by the department of state may be traced to numerous petitions from Jewish societies and humanitarians generally, as well as to the warnings of publicists, respecting the growing dangers of the immigration of degenerates. The document in part is as follows: "Department of State. Washington.

The United States offers asylum to the oppressed of all lands. But its sympathy with them in no wise impairs its just liberty and right to weigh the acts of the oppressor in the light of their effects upon this countjy and to judge accordingly. Putting together the facts now painfully brought home to this government during the past few years, that many of the inhabitants of Roumania are being forced, by artificially adverse to quit their native country-; that the hospitable asylum offered by this country is almost the only-refuge left to them: that they come hither unfitted, by the conditions of their exile, to take part in the new life of this land under circumstances either profitable to themselves or beneficial to the community; and that they are objects of charity from the outset and for a long right of remonstrance against the acts of the Roumanian government is clearly favor of this government. Whether consciously and of purpose or not, these helpless people, burdened and spurned by their native land, are forced by the sovereign power of'Rou- mania upon the charity of the United States. This government cannot be a tacit party to sudi an international wrong.

It is constrained to protest against the treatment to which the Jews of Roumania subjected, not alone because it haa ground to remonstrate against the resultant injury to itself, but In the name of humanity," BUFFALO SPRINGS.
