J "Delicacy" Prevents Latter From Running, But to Be Power Behind Throne. NEW YORK. August 1.T'or President. AUGUST GJI.LH A US. Engineer, New York, as Proxy for MARTIN R. PRESTON, Now in the Nevada state penitentiary for the legitimate exercise of the right of self-defense on picket duty, and whom lelicaey prevents from personally appearing on the ticket. For Vice President. DONALD L. MUNRO, Machinist. Virginia. Martin R. Preston's persistent refusal J to be a candidate for President lias compelled the socialist labor party to take his name from the bead of its ticket and nominate another to run for him. rhe new nominee, however, will go before the public only as a proxy for Preston. * Preston, serving twenty years in the Nevada state prison for homicide, was peaceably engaged in breaking stone when informed of the honor his party nought to thrust upon him. Instead of oeing pleased he became infuriated and ;ore his hair in rage. He said it made him an object of threefold ridicule?tirst. because lie was a eonrlct; second, because he was twenty-five, ind a candidate must be thirty-five, and " bird, because he knew Eugene V. Debs j ind did not wish to be a rival candidate igainst him. He threatened to get out an injunction s :o prevent the use of his name, and so the I national executive committee met last j night and took a ballot for his successor a on the ticket. August Gilhaus received nine votes and ' lohn Hossack four. Gillhaus was there- ' tore declared tne nominee in Breston s (. dace. He lives in this city and works as in engineer. The socialists, however, do no't intend 3 to give up Preston entirely. Their ticket I will place Gillhaus first, but show that he ? s a substitute for the other. t a BALKS AT SHEATH GOWN. f ________ (l Lloyds Finds Something It Will Not | Insure. ' NEW YORK. August 1.?Another Brit- { ish idol went by the board yesterday, fi when it was announced that Lloyds. v popularly supposed to insure against j mything under the sun from twins and ( Central American revolutions to an out- f break by Castro, had at last refused an r insurance proposition in the dircctoire or r sheath gowns. 11 L'oyds declare the sheath gown to be beyond its scope, and that, properly. I trade in thern is not a matter for insur- * *nce. Therefore the effort of Blooming1ale Brothers to obtain fio.nilfi insurance j against loss Vtn a consignment of direc- '! loire gowns lias failed. "It is true." said Isidor Kalm of No. ^ Broadway, who places insurance for ) 11 42 > i t. .. 4 1 o/kiirvltt t ~ II Ii nit* mm. uiiii "'"ftiii m Rr? <* policy -?f JSHuW* from the agent .of the 1 guidon . Lloyds against loss on a consignment of these so-called sheajh. or directnirp. gowns and failed to get it. We have l?een f stfter the insurance for some time, and yesterday the Htm asked for a decision one way or the other. We had to say we could not place the risk. j( "It is the first time I ever heard of ' Lloyds turning down any proposition. . Only the other day they were insuring in 'r great sums against Bryan's election. But P they draw the line on these gowns on j. the ground that it is not legitimate in- y suranee. All insurance is speculation, and the careful merchant tries to insure himself in every way against loss, par- j ticularly in lines where there is any con- j siderahle element of risk or uncertainty. a "The incident means nothing except s that at last an American firm has found j that L'ovds. after all. will not insure, against everything under the sun." a 1 Six gates weighing 2n.ono pounds each t will be used at the Rcosevelt dam in \ connection with the Salt river project he- s ing erected by the United States reclama a tion service.

The fishermen In the nearby waters of he Potomac and other streams have >een forced to lay aside their tackle for he past two weeks, owing to the muddy ondlticn of the waters caused by the teavy rainstorms. Very little, if any. ish have h?en caught around the Disrict. and even at Great Falls the anglers lave been catching only one or two after 1 full day's patient waiting. It is thought >y the fishermen that the. waters .will dear soon and that by next week there will be some good sport. The flsh are reported to lie biting quite reely in the lower Potomac, and in the >ast week a great many of the local sportsmen hoarded launches or other raft -and are now casting, their lines In he deeper waters of the river. The >nwer launch Two Friends of the Corlnthan Yacht Club, under th<* captaincy of "harles M. Hawn. left today for Solonons Island with a party aboard for a ' bur weeks' stay. Although the outing is a ken for a cruise, the members of the tarty took along a large quantity of ackle and bait and will spend considerible of their time in endeavoring to pull ip members of the finny tribe. Capt. Hugh Duffey. Fred Court, H. bailey and Andrew Goddard of the "orinthian Yacht Club, on the power aunch Margaret D.. left last Wednesday or Atlantic City to try their luck at deep :ea fishing. They went by tlie- way of lie inland canals and waterways. Mr. Martonuier. with his family of our. aboard the power launch Hilda, has tone to the lower Potomac for a four veeks' outing and fishing trip. Capt. H. laker, with a party of friends, left ['uesday on his launch Sounky for Cololial Bead:. Mr. George Lewis of tlie Union News 'ompany, one of the most prominent tnglers in the District, witli a party of riends. visited Black Ripples on the upter Potomac recently, and made a very air catch. George was the proudest of lie "bunch." from the fact that he had in experience which may never occur igain. Tiie party got out early, and ibout 10 o'clock George had a strike, vhidi pulled so hard that he thought he iad tiie seaspn's record on his line. After lis line had been swished about he rocks or a few minutes it was caught in some nanner in a rock and was cut. Things became very slow after this, nd the party decided to move further up it ream, so when they again dropped mchor they were about one mile above there George had lost his "beauty." and t was not until about 4 p.m. that the >arty's efferts to lure the wily bass were iuccessful.

George says he would like to hear from others who have had such experience. He says, however, he was somewhat disappointed, as his "prize" was not as larg? as he had first thought, but he is much elated over his catch, and George is a fisherman "right." Some fish are being caught in the upper Potomac and Shenandoah rivers near Harpers Ferry. W. Va.. but they are reported to be small. Sycamore Island, near Broad Water, in the upper Potomac, was a busy place last Sunday and every day during the past week, as a great many campers went up last Saturday night and pitched tents among the trees for a week's outing. George Stansbury of Georgetown visited Great Falls early in the week and is reported to have landed five or six bass, but they averaged only about two pounds. A report from Syracuse. X. Y.. says that Rev. F. Aked of Xew York yesterday captured the largest fish taken out of the St. l^awrence river at the Thousand Islands in years when he landed a thirty-two pound muscallonge. The struggle lasted two hours and the clergyman was completely exhausted at the termination of the landing. A resident of Harrisburg. Pa., was in this city for several days the early part of the past week and in discussing the fishing near his home with several local anglers said there are more black bass fishermen In Harrisburg than anywhere else in the country. One reason for this, lie said, is that there are a great many black bass there and the waters which harbor them are responsible for about tnc most killing bait that was ever pitted against that hard-fighting member of the finny trfoe. Another fish that Is caught in that vicinity is the stone roller, which is considered the best bait for bass fishing. Early in the spring the fishermen gather the small stone rollers and hold them in reserve for the bass fishing, which opens In June. It is said that in putting one of these little fish on a hook the angler must go about the work skillfully or he will be surprised by a stinging pain in his thumb, which will sometimes shoot up his arm to his shoulder. As soon as the fish, which lf^ornething like a catfish, is held tightly by the fisherman it drives its stinger into his hand, causing an exceedingly painful wound and a poison similar to and often worse than that which accompanies a hornet's thrust. Beyond the pain, however. no serious consequences have ever been known to follow the sting. The amateur fishermen have been getting some good catches of perch from the wharves at Marshall Hall. River View and other river resorts, but this variety is also said to be small sized. ICjTHE II DNIT1FV rfjpina Aiauvin for membership, thus establishing a new record in the temple.
