Two United States marines, wearing
their service unlfoims, attracted mm h
attention about the city jesteiday.
They nre Trank Couitright, of this city,
and Hobeit Smith, of lioston. They
came heio on their v.n from New Yorlc
to Philadelphia to visit Courtright's
biother, llany Courtiight, of this city,

Smith has been in the seivlce for four
jcars nnd Couitright fot two lloth
were on the Ltncnstci, which came
from southern waters recently to Now
Yoik to get on her war paint and
feathers Her crew was transfer! ed to
tho Texas and are now bound for their
new- beiths Smith and Courtrlght
secured a short fui lough and took ad
vantage of it to make a living visit to
Scranton
They don't become vciy much ex
cited in talking of the Impending war.
To them it nppeais to be a rather matter-of-fact
business, judging from talk.
There is more real excitement on land
than on the ships, the sa. The sail
ors and nmiines, howovei, are anxious
for hostilities to begin, each crew
seeming to feel that their particular
ship (an settle tho whole question, nnd
that It ought to bo given nn opportun
ity of proving that It can.
Smith nnd Couitright evidenced much
less concern nbout the war than they
did about the fact thai they huve over
staert their furlough and are likely to
get ten dajs in Irons for their Indis
cretion It was, howevei, n long time
between "lands," with them, nnd they
could not resist the temptation to

He s'ruck on his back across one of

Tolls How It llnppunnd
Constuble Joseph V. Woelkers may
huve his faults, but It wouldn't be well
to go around the South Sldo today
shouting them from the house-tops.
In fact, It wouldn't be well to do that
very same thing for some dnyi to
(ome, for the gallant Joseph Is going
to have a whole lot of ft lends over
theie, hereafter.
It was nil accidental, too
C AY. Traver, ot AYIlkes-Bnue, the
famous moral crusader, who Is sched
uled to proserulc twenty-one South
Side speak-easy keepers In criminal
court next week, was down on the
South Side last night, for some purpose
not disclosed, and, as ninny a. good man
before him did, in making a tour of the
South Side, bet nine diunk, in fact, ex
ceedingly drunk
About 11 SO o'clock ho .stinted for his
hotel lit the lential pail of the tity,
canlng his tioublcs with him.
t'pon leaching the corner of Hlekoiy
street nnd Cedar avenue his burden be
iamc too great to bear and he paused
to icst.
Just what happened then has to be
told In two stories.
Till: CON'STAULU'S STOUY.
Constable Woelkers sas that he hap
pened along and found Traver lying on
the sidewalk, dead drunk. He roused
him and tiled to start him on his way,
but Tiaver, Instead of going, turned
upon his would-be befrlender and smote
hltn tudcly on tho side of the fate with
his clenched list
"He might have finished ine right
there, Woelkers said, "only for my
brother rami along and took him off
me "
For this base Ingiatltude Woelkers
decided to lock his ussallunt up for
the night and to this end telephoned
for tho patrol wagon.
The wagon went over on a gallop,
with Sergeant Itldgeway und Patrol
man Boland In chuige, but Woelkers
was impatient to get his mun behind
the bars, where he would bo safe fiom
hutm, and before the wagon arrived he
and his brother nnd a crowd of South
Sideis were on their wa to tho stutlon
house with Traver In tow.
The pilsoner was locked in a cell and
a charge of "dead drunk" placed
against him on the docket.
Woelkers wanted to have "assaulting
an olllter nnd resisting arrest" nls,o
chaiged up, but Sergeant Hldgeway
only answeicd the request with the
single but voluminous ejaculation,
"Bosh"'
TIIAVHIVS VHUSION
The other story staggeieth thus: "I
hie was going m huh going nbout
my business. That's all These here
hie here fellows was follow In' huh
me all around every p-place I went.
Somebody knocked mo d-down nnd I'm
hie here nnd that's nil I know 'bout
It"
Traver had Woelkers arreted a
couple of weeks ugo for committing
perjuiy In teportlng to tourt that there
weie no unlicensed saloons In his ward
The case was dismissed, but a mote
serious one giew out of It, Woelkers

who Is in Floilda. The assistant sec
retary, W. 11. Meehnn, of Philadelphia,
was pretent al the meeting, five of
which are held early.
No appioprlatlons were made by the
last leglslntuie for the commission's
shad station nt Bilstol on the Dela
vvuic where 10,000,000 shad have boon
hatrhed annuillv. In view of this fact
the commission voted to put the station
at the disposal of the United States fish
commission whlih has facilities for
hatching foitv uddltiJiml million of
shad there jiail) The station Is the
laigtst and best equipped of Its kind In
the United States
Fishermen will bo Interested In tho
result ol an experiment made by the
commission at tho Cony hatcheiy In
the w (.stein part of the state. It was
reported at the meeting that a sueces.s
ful iuoss had been made between a
ellow peieh and a California trout.
Out of GOO ejrgs twelve fish were pro
duced. This has both a scientific nnd
a practical value. The result had heen
thought impossible as It was a produc
tion of offspring between diffetent
genus, cortesponding almost to human
propagation fiom the lower scale of
animal life The twelve llsh are now
one year old nnd resemble the perch,
which was a male.
Reports received at tho meeting de
veloped the fact that tho present catch
es of shad arr the gieatcst In the his
tery of the Deliware river. The aver
age shad now weighs five and one-half
pounds, lomparea with an average
weight of two and one-half pounds
ten )eais ago. This is due to aitificial
he tchlng nnd the piotcetion of tho river
which now pioduces nn annual retail
s-had revenue of $1,230,000 as against
Jl'AOOO in 1)S0.
The largest California tiout ever
caught In a foielgn water was leeently
