ROMANCE OF SEA LIFE!
- v This l nnt rnrn nv,s n truc "'' B,"''
SH concerns the Introduction to Philadel
phia housewives of Hie tile fish, to this
t market flti entirely- new food t1nh of
I loothome nunllty. comparable to halibut
Irt firmness of flesh nnd taste, which,
nhen first put on stile In Philadelphia to
norrow. wilt materially rcduco tho coat
uf llvlnff. since It enn be sold nt a less
rate per pound thnn hnllbut because It
i found In very lnrge quantities within
W miles from the New Jersey coast.
Philadelphia will be the natural market
for the distribution and linndllitg of this
new sea food for n. largo territory.
Tho tllo (i.h I litis from 10 to SO pounds
In weight tt Is as beautiful to look upon
as a speckled brook trout, and Is perhaps
the most tropically colored large llsli
csught In Northern waters. Its dorsal
(Ins are of a delicate transparent cream
nd rose color, the back a soft bluish
. iray graduating to white as It approaches
the lower part of the body, the whole
covered with yellow and rosy spots. The
head Is n delicate yellowish red.
The only specimen now In Philadelphia
weighs 41 pounds, mid measures four feet
Ave Inches In length. Hanging in front
of the establishment of M. I'. Ilawlctt,
wholesale fish dealer, nl the corner of

irnctcd the attention of every passerby,

Itic kind of fish It was.
Tho orlglnnt discovery of this larue,
handsome, nnd potentially valuable food
fish, its practical extermination, and re
cent rc-cMabllshmcnt, all within a Bpaco
of 15 jenrs Is one of tho remarkable stories
of marine biology. As far ns Is known,
man never saw this Msli until May, 1879,
when Captain .Joseph Klrby, of the Glou
cester fishing schooner William V, Hutch
Ins, while fishing nenr 100-fnthom curve,
jouth of Nantucket, caught soveral thou
cand pounds of n "strango nnd handsome

tent specimens 'to the t'nlted States Fish
Commission In Washington, when1 It wn
officially found to Do new, nnd described
and named lopholatllus chamoeteontlceps,
meaning the crested Ulna with a head like
a chameleon.
tho then Commissioner of Fisheries at
Washington appreciated tho economic op
portunities offered by the discovery of tho
tile fish, and began an Investigation to de
termine tho feasibility of establishing a
Government fishery, but before very much
could bo done the tllo fish wns virtually
exterminated by a mysterious disaster
along tho entire edge of the couRtnl rlopo.

nation of Chairman McCall. of the TuWIo
Service Commission. When It wns not
forthcoming, he n Mixed his signature to
tho decree, discharging tho commissioner
from his ofllcc, It Is stnted on tho author
ity of men In tho Governor's confidence.
At noon today the conlcntB of that decree)
will be rend.
McCnll's dismissal Is directly due to hl
connection with Kings County Electric
Light and Power Company stock. Thero
were more than 10 other charges. Somo
of the other charges offered sufficient
warrant for dropping McCall. Since It did
not become necessary to consider them
In detail. It Is understood tho Governor
passed them over lightly.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. - St Louis
forged to the front todny In the rrtco
for the honor of entertaining the next
Democrntle National Convention. With
practically the entire membership of the
Nntlonnt Committee on hnntl for to
morrow's) mrctlnc, tho Mound City arbtc
Rntlon tlcclnred they nlrcndy had more
thnn n majority of tho committee pledged
for that elty ns tho place whero the con
vcntlon will assemble next June.
AlthouRh this claim was denied by
advocates of the other contesting cities,
there wns little doubt that the nrat vote
will find St. Louis leading, with Chicago,

the order named.
It Ii not expected thnt the chotco of
tho convention city will bo mado until
tomorrow's session, ns the majority of
members will be Biiests of Congress at
noon to hear President Wilson read his
annual message.
In addition to tho detection of the time
nnd place for the convention, tho com
mittee will adopt resolutions Indorsing
the Administration and will elect a new
treasurer nnd secretary.
There will bo no light on Chairman
McCombs, who will remain undisturbed
until tho new committee Is named, fol
lowing the adjournment of the next Na
tional Convention.
Two contests will be decided, from If en
tuclty, where General W. B. Hnldaman
Is cohtestlng tho seat now held by Urey
Woodson, and Oregon, where W, H.
Easterly unnra tho Beat of Will King.
Tho cntlro Nntlonnl Commttteo will be
entertained by President Wilson at lunch
con nt the Whlto House at 1 o'clock Wed
nesday nfternoon.
Headed by Governor Ferguson and May
or Henry D. I.lndsley, of Dallas, the
party of 75 Texns delegates, most of whom
wcro from Dallas, were received by Presi
dent Wilson this morning.
