Thousands of the fish have died and floated as&ore, very white in color, sometimes with a fungous growth on their bodies and in some cases the fins dropping off. It appears, so far as reported, to have’ affected only porch and pickerel, the bass, when In the affected waters, having escaped, and in no case have the fish died in mill ponds. The disease appears to be similar to that in the inland waters of the State in 1879, when a kind of slug was found in the bodies of the fish. The cause of the epidemic will be investigated, it 4s stated, by one of the professors of Wesleyan University. LYDIA E. PINK HAM’S VEGETABLE compound Benefits Three Generations.

COTTON PRODUCTION.

Scheme bj Which {Southern Grower* Hope to Accomplish This Purpose. The cotton-growers of the South are discussing the problem of how to regfilate the acreage and production of cotton so as to prevent glutting the markets every year and reducing the price below the profit mark. The Alabama Cotton-growers’ Association recently advocated the agreement plan, whereby all growers were to be pledged to reduce their production a certain per cent for the common good. This scheme, however, though apparently the simplest and most effective, was soon found to be impracticable, for its success depended upon the unanimous consent of all the large growers, and this It was Impossible to secure. Having abandoned the agreement plan, then, the growers are now proposing a substitute which promises to bring better results, because it strikes at the root of a system that in indirectly responsible for the yearly Increase in cotton production. It is found that a decrease of acreage can hardly be secured so long as the Southern freedmen are induced to rent small holdings and pay the rental in cotton. This practice is said to he common. The freedmen secure a few acres, and the whole family plant as much cotton as their united labor can achieve. In order to do this the freedmen secure advances on their crop from country traders, and when they have delivered the cotton for rental, the remainder barely suffices, often does - ffdf to repay the advances. The number of small growers being very large, the volume of production is constantly increasing, because the average increases as fast as the freedmen strike out for themselves. It is proposed to remedy this by making rents of such lands payable in live stock, corn and vegetables Instead of cotton. This would not only decrease the cotton product measurably, but at the same time woujd enable the freedmen to provide sustenance for their families—which at present they neglect to do, being intent on raising cotton. Whether the plan succeeds in reducing the cotton acreage or not it will, If put into practice, be likely to result in greater variety of agricultural products, and this Is said to be greatly needed In cotton-growing districts.—New York Post.

THE GUNMAKER OF ILION.

JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH REFUSES A TEMPTING OFFER FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. * $ His Health Was Too Poor to Permit Attention to Business—A Great - Suffer or for Many Years, bnt Has Now Recovered'; (From the Springfield, Mass., Union.) There isn’t a gun manufacturer ia the United States who does not know Jefferson M. Clough, and why 7 Because he has been intimately associated all his life with the development of the tyjo best American rifles? the Remington and Winchester. For years he was superintendent of the E. Remington & Sons’ great factory at llion, N. Y. After leaving there he refused a tempting offer of the Chinese Government to go to China to superintend their Government factories—and accepted instead the smierintendency of the Winchester-Arms Co., at New Haven, at a salary pf $7,500 a year. v It was after this long term of active labor as a business man that he found himself incapacitated fot.further service by the embargo which rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position more than two years ago, and returned to Belcliertown, Mass., where tie now lives and own the Phelps farm, a retired spot where he has 500 acres of land. Being a man of means he did not spare the cost and was treated by leading physicians and by baths at celebrated springs without receiving any benefit worth notice. During the summer of 1803 and the Winter of 1894 Mr. Clough was confined t 6 his house in Belchertown, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffering continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he abre to obtain sufficient sleep. Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about ths first of March, 1894, and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a better appetite, and he began to note more ability to help himself off the bed and to be better generally. Last August (1894) he wns able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of 188 acres on Grenadier Island, among the Thousand Islands, in the River St. Lawrence, where from the highest land of liis TfiTrfi' he'. commands a view for thirteen miles down the river, and sixty of the Thousand Islands can be seen. Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough is now and has been for some time able to be-about tlie fnrm to direct the men employed there, and he is thankful for what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done for him. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of ali druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.

Latest Theatrical Dodge.

Well, we’ve struck it at last, says Cholly Knickerbocker in the New York Recorder. In an experience of many years I have seen all sorts of advertising dodges, good, bad and indifferent, but for pure, low-down and so-I-get-the-money thoroughness this is the worst, and It is being practiced at a reputable Broadway theater at that. Guests at the various hotels have been receiving perfumed and delicately tinted missives In feminine handwriting, assuring the recipient that it is the writer’s most heartfelt desire to make his acquaintance, but that, having no mutual friends, it has been a matter of some difficulty. Of course, the writer is coy, and wouldn't vralk up to the gentleman on the street and grab him by the lapel of his coat, so she states the evening she will be in a certain theater, sitting in a certain row. Nine times out of ten the Jay endeavors to buy a seat in that row, and, failing, buys a seat anyhow, and spends the rest of the evening trying to discover who wrote him the letter. I have heard of a good many schemes, but this is about as near an approach to bunco as ever came under my notice.

It Is fn every sense a great household remedy.

Biggest Engineering Fee on Record.

The work of converting the unhealthy and disease-breeding city of Santos, in Brazil, into a modern commercial center, begun in 1892 by Professor E. A. Fuertes, director of the college of engineering at Cornell University, is still going on. The cost will be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, and, as Pro-" fessor Fuertes receives 4 ner cent, of the total outlay, he will probably enjoy for some time the distinction of being the best paid engineer whose compensation is on public record.
