TRIED TWICE TO DIE, Mrs. Minnie Baker Gives Up in Despondency. The First Attempt by Strangulation Was Followed by a Nearly Suc cessful Hanging. Mrs. Minnie Baker tried twice unsuc cessfully to commit suicide at the Lemon hotel on Friday night. The first attempt was by strangulation. This was voluntarily abandoned be cause it hurt. Anxious as she was to die, she was unwilling to endure the pain which attended this method. Later in the night, or, rather, early in the morning she renewed her coquetry with death by a means of a rope. The second attempt waB more nearly suc cessful, and was frustrated only by the timely appearance of an attendant. The motive was despondency. The woman has been ill for several days and is comparatively alone in the city. She came here from British America several weeks ago accompanied by her husband. They took lodgings at the Dorris and Mrs. Baker found employ ment at a Washington street restaurant. She and her husband did not get on happily. He went away recently to Prescott, she said, about the time Bhe was taken sick, and Bhe did not expect him to re turn. "'She was compelled by her illness to give up her place, and a few days ago took lodging at the hotel where she tried to die. Coin and Bullion. San Francisco, Sept. 29.

The Method Employed in Fishing Cp the Planted Mad Hooks A Comforta ble Revenue in the Odd Business. Many strange ways of making a live lihood are to be found in and near a great city, and one of the strangest of these hereabouts is fishing up lost an chors and anchor chains from the bot toms of the bays and of the isea along the coast. It is not what might be called a flourishing industry, says the New York Evening Post, but is, in deed, a precarious deriendence for the necessaries of life: yet it yields suste nance enough to have created quite a number of followers. Several schoon ers and sloops are engaged ' almost ex clusively in this "trade," and each carries a crew of from three to ten men. These odd fishermen seek their inan imate prey whenever the weather per mits, and, of course, are most active during the long summer days. Like the takers of living spoils from the water, they know the field of their op erations thoroughly, and expend their energies mostly where the "fishing" is best. Perhaps, of all the "grounds" in this vicinity, they regard the stretch of sea off the Delaware breakwater as the most profitable. It is widely known among skippers and all seafaring men who visit these parts as a great ceme tery for anchors. They are being con stantly "planted" there, to use the nr.ntical phrase. The perpetual invol untary "sowing" of anchors there is due to the large number of vessels that are compelled by conditions of busi ness or of wind and tide to ride off the breakwater, and to their getting fre quently caught in a gale while doing sc . Then, the floor of the sea at that point appears to have a peculiar facil ity for fouling anchors, and vessels are not seldom compelled or prefer, as the less of two evils to abandon them. Territory up and down the coast ranks next, i: the anchor fisherman's esteem, as a fruitful anchor bed. The interior waters of the harbor are more barren, yet repay search. Even the North and East rivers, for some dis tance up. are occasionally harvested, and usually not wholly in vain. The method of anchor fishing is sim ple to primitiveness. It consists in let ting down a chain in a loop from the sides of the vessel until the loop trails along the bottom. Then the boat sails clong with all hands on board alert for a "bite." Plain as this tackle is, it is effective as any that could be devised. "Planted" anchors almost invariably lie with one fluke buried in the mud and the other sticking straight up. If the anfflmff chain is dras-mnir m the direction of' the inner curve of the up standing fluke, it is almost a sure "catch." Then the line wi'h the anchor attached is carefully hoisted, some times by hand, or if the anchor is very heavy, by means of capstans. If the spoil is a very weighty one say four, live or six thousand pounds, a driving engine is frequently employed. The instances are few, however, where the fishermen fail to secure their booty. When nec essary the crew of one anchor smack will lend a hand to another. " Boats often work in pairs. A cable is stretched between the vessels, and dragged on the bottom. When an an chor is caught one of the vessels takes a position above it and both crews assist in raising it. This method in sures a wide sweep of the bottom. There are two purposes for which the "catch" is disposed of. Usually the anchors are sold to be used as an chors again, for a moderate, or even a considerable, degree of rust in no way impairs their efliciency as such. If they are too much eaten up by rust, which seldom happens, they are 'Sold as old iron. As they are of wrought iron the price brought is often, considerable. There are also two ways by which the fishermen find a market value for their wares. They either sell them directly by hawking them about among the vessels in the harbor or they sell them to the ship chandlers. Sometimes they have per mission from wharf-owners or lessees to stick the anchors up there with a notice that they are for sale, with the price stated. As a rule they get very good prices. New anchors are sold for five cents a pound now, and the re covered old ones seldom suffer a great er depreciation in value than one cent a pound. Therefore, for every one thousand pounds of anchor they cap ture the fishermen make about forty dollars, and if the anchor is one of the very heaviest a six thousand pounder their haul nets them about two hun dred and forty dollars. They seldom take a monster of that size, however; their usual capture is between .fifteen hun dred and twenty-five hundred pounds. There are several reasons for this. In the first place the lighter anchors are more generally used; in the second place it is the sailing vessels which most often lose their anchors, and, as a rule, they carry lighter anchors than steamers, and, in the third place, most large vessels whether steam or sail ingcommonly carry both a light and a heavy anchor, and seldom drop the latter in the harbor or immediately off the coast, using it for deeper and rougher seas. The fact that steam vessels lose their anchors less frequent ly than sailing vessels is due to their being able to use their steam, when necessary, to check the strain upon the anchor chain. The captured anchor chains often make a substantial addition to the gain of the fishermen, fetching about three three cents a pound. Sometimes they are very long and weigh hundreds of pounds. One of the divers of a local wreck ing company makes a business of keep ing an eye open for lost anchors while examining or working a-und sunken vessels. lie is said to have lo cated several, and to have made a con siderable sum as the result of his enter prise.
