BOSS NO LONGER
Israel W Darhnm Who Wan Driven
From Power Iu Philadelphia
Isvac W Durham the former boss
of Philadelphia who Is in California
suffering with consumption has ex
perienced enough reverses of fortune
in the past twelve mouths to break the
health and spirits of almost any man
A year ago the reform wave in the
Quaker City was gathering force but
It had not then broken over the heads
of Durham and his associates and
swept them from the position of Influ
ence and power In which they then
seemed so firmly Intrenched Durham
Iu his prime as a political organizer is
said to have exacted subservient al
legiance from some 10000 officehold
ers and city cmplojoes over whom he
held sway not the less powerful be
cause unrecognized in the statutes and
ordinances Durhams critics claim
that as boss of the organization in
Philadelphia he built up a system
ISRAEL W DURHAM
every branch of the public
service and every contract let for the
execution of public improvements was
made to yield graft On the other
hand his worst enemies credit him
with possessing many admirable quali
ties and his success as a political or
ganizer is attributed in part to the
fact of his loyalty to friends his fidel
ity to truth his generosity and his
courtesy Numerous stories are told of
the fallen leaders amiability and fond
ness for relieving the strain of po
litical boss ship by indulgence in prac
tical jokes Once on a trip with a
party of politicians he put a giant fire
cracker in the drawing room occupied
by the mayor of the city He played
a neat trick on some of his card sharp
friends one time by putting twenty
queens in a poker deck
Iz Durham as intimates have
known him was born In Philadelphia
in 185G and educated in the public
schools He was apprenticed to a
bricklayer but left that occupation to
engage in the flour business with his
father In this he continued until poli
tics took up his attention to the exclu
sion of other matters He held the of
fice of state insurance commissioner
but resigned it last July at the gov

THE BLUEFISH BRIGADE
What Happens When the UIbch Make
n Charse Upon Menhaden
When menhaden or herring are
driven upon the beach by blucfish as
they often are so that they can be
carried off l y the cart load said a
fisherman there Is very seldom found
among them one of their pursuers and
If one Is found it is likely to be a fish
that Is diseased or that has been hurt
in some way The blucfish follows to
the very verge of the water but there
it stops and It is so powerful and
alert a swimmer that close as it Is it
still easily keeps clear of the land
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers They could come as close
and keep off the shore ns easily as the
bluefish do but not when the blueflsh
are after them Then hey are like
men pursued to the edge of a preci
pice It Is almost certain death to
jump but they must do that or turn
and take the chances of breaking
through the pursuing Hue
When the blueflsh there may be
3000 or 4000 of them together sight
a school of menhaden they go for it
like a brigade of heavy cavalry cut
ling and slashing snapping and biting
right and left The menhaden are sim
ply overborne by superior weight and
there is nothing for them to do but
flee If they are driven toward the
shore the land Is to them what the
precipice would be to the man They
must take it or they must turn and try
to fight their way through Many do
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish and
some escape in this way and some are
snapped up and some are maimed and
then cast ashore and many of them
crowding together are so closely press
ed that they are practically forced
ashore
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water
again A high wave may set some
free A fish thus liberated may find
Its fins so damaged that it cant swim
and it Is cast up again Weakened by
its rough experience it may fall a prey
to some of the bluefish yet lingering
offshore It may escape New York

SERIES OF SHIPWRECKS
Tiie Mont Singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record
The most singular series of ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantman Mermaid
which was driven on the rocks of Tor
res strait in October 1829 The officers
and crew clung to the shattered vessel
which was held fast upon a sunken
ledge until a few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces a passing
frigate picked them up
The Swiftsure as the latter craft
was called resumed her northward
course to be foundered in a terrific
gale three days later
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready en voy
age to India May 18 1830 The last
named overtaken by a storm was
stranded on a barren coast her three
crews to a man succeeding in reach
ing the shore
After staying a week on the inhos
pitable island they were taken off by
the revenue cutter Comet which a few
days later sprang a leak and sank in
spite of all efforts to save her
Fortunately a rescue ship was again
on hand the four crews being saved
by the Jupiter
Even then however the chain of dis
asters was not broken for the Jupiter
just as she was entering the harbor of
Port Raffle turned turtle and went
down with scarcely a moments warn
ing Her crews barely escaped with
their lives to be picked up by boat
sent to their aid
Thus the crew of the Mermaid was
wrecked five times in one voyage that
of the Swiftsure four times of the
Governor Ready three times and the
Comet twice
The rescues had been purely acciden
tal in every case none of the ships
having been sailing as a consort or
even to the same port
Though the weather had been tem
pestuous and the escapes barely made
not a life had been lost
Safe
In a mediaeval German tale it says
that the parish council of a small vil
lage met one evening to discuss cer
tain improvements in the water sup
ply In this debate the towns one
watchman entered the room quietly
placed in a corner his lantern and
spear and sat down to listen to the ar
gument Suddenly a councilman turn
ed to him fiercely
Fritzhe cried what are you doing
here Who is to watch that nothing is
stolen in the village
Fritz with an easy smile answered
Who is there to steal any tiling We
are all here
