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 ernors request LUDWIG FULDA Career of the German Dramatist Now Lecturing In America Dr Ludwig Fulda the Gorman dram atist poet esayist and translator who arrived in this country for a lecture tour a short time ago was unintention ally assisted into fame by the German emperor In 1S92 the playwright pro duced a work entitled Der Talisman a dramatization of a famous Arabian tale Rightly or wrongly it was con ceived to contain a thrust at the ruler of Germany and when the author was awarded the Schiller prize In recogni tion of his genius In the composition wmmmm mMimmMMMm IiUBWIG FULDA of this drama the kaiser interfered and exercised his right to veto the deci sion of the committee Thus Fulda lost the Schiller prize which besides earrj with it much honor consists of 3000 marks in gokl and a golden med al But the sensation caused by the emperors action helped the young au thor for it advertised his plays and other literary productions and in creased his popularity He is account ed by many the greatest living Ger man dramatist Dr Fulda was born at in 1SG2 He attended thi Berlin and Heidelberg universities and took up literature as a profession de voting himself especially to dramatic works While he has won his greatest fame as a playwright he has been much praised as a poet a writer of fairy tales and as a translator 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 News 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 An Odd Honse One of the best known houses in Northamptonshire England was de signed to represent the days weeks and quarters of the
