The Business at Frankfort The Kind Taken, Average Weight and Prices ICe allzed. From the Detroit Free Press. Frankfort, January 12. The fishing fleet of Frankfort consists of four steam tugs Boss, Sweet Brothers. A. McMillan, Hannah Sullivan, and numerous sailing macks. These sail biats are about thirty feet long, eight fret wide and throe feet deep, but instead ot a square stern are sharp at both Quasi They are called Mackinacs, as they originated with the fishermen en that island; They are noted for their speed, and many a fine built pleasure yacht coming to these waters has been left sadly in the rear in a ecru race by theso little crart. ( outfit. ' Tht outfit of a fishing boat consists of two or three gangs of gill netsforty nets making a gang; then follow an ehors, ttoys, ropes, etc., costing from $300 to $500. The crew consists of two men and a boy. They sail out to the fish ing grounds or reefs in Lake Michigan daily, weather permitting, during the season, setting their nets from three to twenty miles from the coast. On these trips one gang is raised with the catch and taken on shore for drying and re pairs, and a new gang deposited instead. THE KIND OF EISH. The catch consists of a few dozen at soma hauls, and again tne boats will re turn laden full to the gunwale. The largest catches are caused by a school of fish passing through the grounds. The fish taken consist' principally of white- fish and trout. Occasionally herring. lawyers, suckers, sheephead and sturgeon are eaught, but are considered of but littlo yalue for skipping purposes. On returning to the 'harbor the fish are dressed and paeked in ice in large re fngerator boxes and shipped by steam ers to Chicago and Milwaukee. Ihe unltetish are a purely fresh water flsh and very delicious: rich, fat, and agreeable to the palate. In color they are bluish gray on the back, lighter en the sides and white on Ihe belly. The average weight of this flsk is three or four pounds, and when Quite fat seven or eignt pounds. Next follows tho groat lake trout, also called Aucklnae trout. I hey run in size from two pounds to fifteen pounds, but occasionally some deep water ones are krought in weighing thirty to forty pounds. They are of a muddled greenish brown; darker and greener on the back, browner on the sides, yellowish gray on tke belly. The fins are gray on the back, and those of the sides a muddy orange color. The sides of the fish are spotted. presenting a mottled appearance. The flesh is reddish colored, firm ami oily, anu oi a pioatant taste Ike steam taking tugs carry on the business ou a much larger scale both in crews and number of nets than their brethren of the sailing craft. They steam ont to the middle gronnds. a dis tance of twenty to forty miles, and en gage in deep water hshiag. ihe price realizsa in the wholssale market of Chi cago averaged six cents per pound this season. THE FISHERMEN. The majority of the fishermen are for eigners. French Canadians ami Yankees make up the remainder. All are inured to the perils and hardships of a coasting life, and are considered among the best boatmen in the world. Among the own ers of fishing smacks is an old man who is aided by his little tright-eyed, Intel II gent bey, lie has a seiall, cheap outct, and barely ekes out an existence. It is said he was five ears ago the owner of two one salt water ships, engaged in trade between ports on the Baltic Sea and England; also proprietor of a ship handlers etore in Copenhagen. lie. verses set in, one ship was lost in a col lision at sea, the other eaught nre and burned. His wife died, he became dis couraged and indulged too deeply in grog, ills mercantile business in the meantime was left in the hands of care less employees, was at loose ends, and the result was a failure. Gathering what little was left he came to America to try and retrieve his lost fortune. Fate was still against him. on landing in New York he fell in with some land sharks who swindled him out of the re mainder of his wealth, selling him wortk less alkali lands in the most desolate portion of Arkansas. On his arrival, see ing the complete worthlessness of the soil, ho struek for the deep lake water, drifted to Frankfort and is now engaged in fishing. There is also a historical old chap in the person of an old French half-breed. who has been engaged in boating and fishing since early childhood. He began his career as an assistant to John Jacob A s tor's agent in trading with the Indians and gathering furs. "We used to travel all around the lake," lie said, "in large boats, forty feet keel and twelve feet beam, propelled by nars, having a crew of fifteen to twenty men. YTe often bought the furs of the finest mink, otter. bear and linx for a small plug of tobac co, l was at Chicago when there were only Indians there and h.lf-breed trad ers. At St. Joseph, Mich, there was a small settlement." 'Old Joe," as he is called, was one of those daring men who, nnder the leader ship of Gapt. Newton, drove King Strang and his Mormon tribe from the Beaver Island in 1850. lie is a very good man in a boat, and in many instances has saved the lives of sailors on vessels wrecked in the vicinity. As It is now the cateh of fish is good over the spawning grounds, but fishing daring tho spawning season only tends to the wholesale destruction of the fish, and if continued will end in their total disappearance from the lakes. Forsee ing this there is sentiment here in favor of making a law prohibiting tho cateh- ing of flsh during tke snawnlng season Now the fishermen are destroying the very fconrce of their revenue. PROTECTION ADVISED. Capt. Albert A. Barry, one of the most experienced fishermen on the chain of lakes (and who, by the war, is a nephew of the noted Pere Hvaclnthe), gives tke opinion that the government shonld pro him iisiilug in Lake Michigan ironi mo 15th of September to the 1st of Januar If all catching was stoDDsa during tn period, in the course of two or three years there would be a marked increase of fish. In order to protest tho young fish that are now caught, he is in favor of tho nets being a three inch mesh. Fish that are smaller than that are of no market Value, and should be allowed to grow instead of being eaught and thrown away. The catch has decreased rapidly the past fifteen veais at least seventy per cent and action to protect onr fish should be taken at once, and all that take an interest in fish culture are asked to co-operate to that end. The United States Fish Commissioner's attention h called to the excellent spawning ground in the vicinity of Frankfort, for deposit ing wnitetlsh fry and eggs. A Playful and Intelligent Crab. From the San Francisco Call. A number of passengers on tho two o' clock Oakland boat the other day wit nessed- an interesting and curious ex- nnuuon. a man having everv appear ance or being a sailor stood on the lower forward deck beside a large pail, which was filled with ea water. In this pail was a crab of enormous size. and. to judge by tke bunches of barnacles upon his back, of considerable age. The sail or was a genial fellow, and appeared to bo proud of his pet. He first informed tho snrrounding passengsrs that the crab was tke humble possessor of the name of "Ned " and that in addition of owning a name he would answer to that name. This was received with incredulous smilei en the part of the on-lookers. The crab could be observed lying motlonloss at tne bottom of the nail, as apparently contented with his position as though he was delviug in tho mnd at the bottom of the bay. The sailor kneeled beside the pail and gave a subdued whistle and then muttered "Ned, Ned," twice. In stantly there was a commotion in the water, as the trab wriggled its joints and bobbed aronnd like a spider Impaled on the point of a needle. The motion was kept up until it succeeded in getting two claws over the edge f the pail. It then tried to draw itself up. The sailor snddenly ceasod whistline, whereupon Ned 'dropped into his motionless atti tude, only to rouse up again upon a rep- tition of the whistle and the calling of his name. At last he got a grin upon the pail with one of his claws and drew himself up almost elear of the water. His master came to his relief and laid him out upon tke deek. Here he strut ted aronnd in his awkward fashion to the infinite amusement of everyone. He was apparently delighted, and when his master stretched out a hand to him ho stroked it with his claws and even pre tended to "uip" it as kittens "play bite," but it was noticeable that he did not e lose on it. When any of the passengers 1. 1 11 J -- !LK M difference between them and his master, and drawing up his extremities lay sal- lenlyin one place. Upon being asked whether "Ned conld do any more won derful things the sailor replied that he could. He dropped "Ned" into his pail to ti Is crabsnip s satisfaction. Th'-n the pleased owner drew from his pocket a pice of thin rope. This he stretched between two of the deck posts, about three feet from tho deek. The crowd of spectators, which was now swelled by many from the upper deek. who bad heard that something extraor dinary was going on, pressed around. eager to ee what the next act was on the programme. The sailor picked Ned ATir fif It si naf nrnl nlAmani Anna mfsft his nippers. His master then began a low, monotonous whistle, and "Ned" put himself In motion. He evidently knew just what was expected of him, and stretching out nts spare nipper ne got hold of the rope a short space along. Then, wriggling his claws, he released his first hold and caught the rope again eloflo to his second "nipper," In this fashion he worked himself along to about tho middle of the rope, when he stopped.

Breakfast and Dinner. There is a good one told by General Pierce Young, which we print in correct ed snaps. (Juster and Young were mess mates and clasamates. and devoted friends at West Toint. In the war they were Major Generals of cavalry on op posing sides. One day General Young was invited to breakfast at the Hnnter mansion in Virginia. Tho beautiful young ladies had prepared a smoking breakfast, to which the General was ad dressing himself with ardor, when a shell burst through the house. Glanc ing through a window he saw Custer charging toward the hoase at tho head of his staff. Out of the window Tonne went, calling to the young ladies: "Tell Custer I leave this breakfast for him." Custer enjoyed it heartily, and looked forward with pleasure to tho dinner In the distance. In the meantime, Young, smarting over the loss of his breakfast and his hasty retreat, drove the Federal line back, and by dinner time was In sight of the Hunter mansion again. Cus ter, who was just sitting down to dinner. laughed and said: "That's Pierce Young coming batk. I knew he wouldn't leave me hero in peace. Here's my picture give it to him, and tell him his old class mate leaves his love, with this excellent dinner." And out of the window he went, and away like a flash, while the Georgia General walked in and sat down to dii ner. Atlanta Constitution. HAS NOW OPENED HIS Foreign and Domestic Woollens.
