Ame ROARED AT BY A WHALE. Stood on Its Head and Waved Its Tail said Capt. J. man of South Portland last evening, “we didn’t encounter the sea serpent, but we had a strange experi- ence with a whale, and I don’t believe any- body ever had the like before. I've been at a, man and boy, since I was nine years old, nd I never saw the like of the whale we e1 countered. I never saw a whale before that didn't blow, but the one we met didn’t, but it did give a roar that was awful.” ‘The schooner bout ten miles off Wood Island and making good headway under full , the mate, rrill Crossman, at the wheel, when there was a sudden commotion ahe and then a great h shot up into the air and on a level with the deck. of the crew first sighted the strange creature and called man, and in a moment all on t lookinss saw before them an enormous head, one s of great bu the wicked-looking € 2 gleamed. They expected the whale, if such, would “blow,” but it did not then or after. Once a narrow thread of what looked like steam shot up, but not a drop of water was ent into the air, As they looked at the ature it roared savagely, and then drew close up to the side of the schooner, giving them ample time to observe the head, and ee that it was very broad; that it tapered almost to a point, and that it was not very thick through the thic part.The creature was about seventy-five to eighty feet in length, and had a very broad tail, very different from that of an ordinary whale. In fact, at the time there were three or four whales in sight, and they had no difficulty in noting the points of difftrence between them stranger. ‘The great c nt down head first, and then made a series of attempts to'strike the side of the schooner with its tail. It did not succeed, and swam around them, roaring loudly In evident anger. Then it went down and under the schooner. Capt. Crossman, who had watched for this movement, gave orders to be ready to lower the boat, fearing that the whale might come up under them and break them in two. It was very fortunate that they were not forced to lower their boat, as it proved later to be ing, and would not have carried half number safely to land. For more than an hour the whale contin- ued his remarkable acrobatic performance, standing on his head with his tail waving in the air most of the time. It seemed bent on hitting the schooner, and it took the best of good seamanship to prevent an encounter. At last the whale seemed to get tired of what had been fun at first, and it headed for the westward.

The subject was fully explained to him by the father, and the boy was made to under- stand that with the interest he could in time buy all the sweetmeats he wanted. His mother bought him a toy saviags bank and he commenced business, demanding a dime or nickel from his father every night on his return home from office.. Last Sun- day, out of curiosity, the fatl examined into the little one’s financial affairs and found just 13 cents. “Why, Georgie, where's all the money I gave you?” he asked the youngster. “Been drawin’ interest,” meekly replied the young hopeful. . One of the farst things the observant trained nurse does when a new patient enters the hospital and is put in bed is to Place a delicately constructed thermometer under the sick one’s tongue and get the temperature. A chambermaid from oxe of the down-town hotels was taken ‘o one of the city hospitals not long ago, and the above described operation was performed at once. ' “What in the wurruld are yez doing that for?” she asked,after the nurse got through. “I'm merely taking your temperature,” responded the maid with the muslin cap. “Rats!” said the occupant of the sick couch. “How are yez going to tell by that nae thing whether I’ve got a temper or not?” oe 2 8 ee The plate printers over in the bureau of engraving and printing have a way of des- ignating different branches of their work that sounds somewhat peculiar to ears un- accustomed to such things, and which oc- casionally results in little misunderstand- ings that cause the older hands to smile. The printer engaged on revenue stamps speaks of his work as a “barrel of beer, “half barrel” or “quarter barrel of beer. Or he may have “one hundred cigars,’ etc., according to the nature and size of the stamps he 1s printing. Not long ago a printer told his assistant as she was getting ready to quit work for the day—she was a sweet little thing and new at the business—‘*Maggie, we'll have a quarter barrel of beer to commence on in the morning.” “Gracious! Don’t get beer—it always s:ves me a headache.” Then all the wise assistants in the im- mediate vicinity smiled aloud. oe e ee Senator Thomas H. Carter, chairman of | the republic2n national committee, and ex- Senator Sanders, both of Montana, had a rather hot dispute in the district court of Montana the other day during the discus- sion of a Northern Pacific railroad case. During the course of his argument Sanders charged that the Northern Pacific receivers were squandering the money of the com- pany, and asserted, among other things, that $10,000 had been spent in the last sen- atorial election in Montana. “That is ab- solutely untrue,” declared Senator Carter, who hid been elected at the last session of the legislature. “It is absolutely true,” as- serted ex-Senator Sanders, who had not been elected, but was a candidate at the last session of the legislature. The court would net allow the discussion to go any further, saying that it was no time for a discussion of shat kind. . A Indy who ts now visiting friends in Washington recalls a very amusing expe- rience which happened when she was here several years ago and Mr. Cleveland was serving his first term in the White House. She, with a large number of others, was at cne of the tri-weekly presidential recep- tions, and, like some others, when she came to shake hands with the President got a trifle rattled and forgot the preity spesch she intended to deliver. Instead she grasped the President's hand, and, looking earnestly in his face, said, “How do you do, Grover?” She is a pretty woman, and the President is not av to looking at a pretty woman and even squeezing her hand. He held on to her hand and looked in her face, which finally became scarlet, although she could not refrain from laugh- ing, especially as the President was laugh- ing rather heartily himself. After waiting the lady, he replied, deed, and ve “Iam very well, in. happy to have met you With a courtly bow he released her hand and she pa: “What on earth was the Pr dent Zz to you, and what did you say to him?” inquired a lady who was just behind, but she never told—not for a long time. ee A retired army eee officer who was recently in Washington went to see his old friend, General Flagler. He says that the change that has occurred in that household since the tragic event of last summer {gs some- thing awful. He could scarcely realize how sad had been the taking off of young Green, and says that the parents of the dead boy cannot begin to feel the effects of the unfortunate event as do Mis: lagier and her friends. “No one can know,” said the officer, “the regret and how deep- seated it is until he has seen these people who were once so happy. If punishment is what is desired Miss Flagler has had her share. Dr. Daniel” M¢Farlan” is” Inconsolable. Breacho, his collie, is dead, and his loss causes as much grief as though he had been a child, for hé was gifted with what seemed like human intelligence. Several months ago the dog became afflicted with an incurable disease, and after expending $500 In his cure, Dr. McFarlan was com- pelled to have him killed. Breacho was well known {n the northwestern part of the city. He used to meet the carrier of The Star and take the paper to his master. He knew the carrier and could not be induced to take a paper from any other. One of the remarkable traits possessed by Breacho was his love for a doll. He had one which he carried around with him about the room and when he went to sleep, the doll lay upon one paw, while the other was pressed gently over it. The sympathies of Dr. Mc- 's friends go out toward him in his realize how dear its compan- and was a dog ceme- tery is they are in England, one of the most pathetic inscriptions there would be that over Breacho’s grave.

It fs claimed by Dr. Flower's fslends that he can diagnose any disease of any person without asking the patient a question, and that he is the only living physician who can scientifically do so without making a mistake. The Boston Globe says, cancer, consumption, tumor, beart and nerve troubles, Dr. R. C. Flower has no equal in the world.” ‘The Boston Traveler says: “There 1s no experiment in Dr. R. C.

Flower to Washington will enable the sick to con- sult him close to their homes. it “In the treatment of A WESTERN LYNCHING. Newspaper Rivalry as to the Time of the Hanging. “We once had a great lynching in North Dakota,” said a western newspaper man to a Star reporter. “It was equal to anything that occurs in the south, and was for the same cause that so frequently, disgraces ccmmunities in southern states. A colored man was the victim, and while he escaped burning at the stake, he was horribly mal- treated before he was finally swung from the high railroad bridge over the sluggish waters of the Red River of the North. Aside from the tumultuous and crazy throng, and the manner in which the officers tried to save the prisoner, the final breaking open of the jail, and the adjusting of the noose by the husband of the wronged woman, the pewspaper end of the affair was decidedly interesting. “The brute was captured in the night, long after most people had retired. The morning newspaper fellows, however, were all awake, and, with a considerable number of others, gathered around the jail and in- steted upon a lynching then and there. ‘There were two morning papers, rivals of the afternoon paper, but the latter was then ‘standing in’ with the bosses of the city government, and its representatives pronounced in favor of law and order. The whole police force and officers of the city hall were able to prevent the man from be- Ing teken out of the lockup, The morning papers were much disgruntled. The Situation Was Different. “The next day the newspapers changed sides. The afternoon reporters, city editor, ard, in fact, the whole staff, including the printers, were out early denouncing the ne- gro and demanding a lynching then and there. The morning paper men were coun- seling law and order. Meanwhile the crowds were gathering, and this was @ fac- tor in favor of the afternoon newspaper. Every train brougnt swarms to the city, and, besides, the whole town had jeined the clamor for summary vengeance. “Guns and pistols had been necessary to prevent the lynching at night, but in the daytime the police force was not quite so ar xious to stop the perpetration of the hor- rible outrage. They put up a bluff, but they did not show their weapons or threat- en to shoot. A Flank Movement. “Then the morning paper men executed a flank movement. The sheriff of the county was in favor of the morning papers. So it was decided to turn the prisoner over to him. The police were perfectly willing. This was done, and the prisoner was sur- rounded by a posse of officers and taken to the county jail, the crowd being told that he would be taken to the court house and given a fair hearing. But the court house ‘was passed by, and the jail reached in safety. “The jail had been built strong and solid, and had held successfully many desperate criminals. It didn’t seem possible to get tke prisoner for hours—at least not until far into the night—and then in time for the morning papers. “But the crowd became too large and was teo determined to be resisted. The doors of the jail were battered and jammed, and almost wrecked before the deputy sheriff, who had the keys, was boldly held up and the keys taken from him. “For a time previous to the holding up of the deputy for the keys there was the most maddening scene. The law and order faction was trying to prevent the lynching, and some speeches were made from barrels en both sides of the question. Probably what did more than all else to determine the fate of the prisoner was the arrival of the husband of the negro’s victim. He was a railroad man and had been far away. He was telegraphed for and arrived on a train with many of his friends. He appeared among the excited crowd and, being recog- nized, was asked for his opinion. 4 mo- icentary hush fell upon the crowd when it was made known that he was about to speak. “Where is he?” he asked. “In the jail,’ shouted a dozen voices. “Take him out and hang him,’ was the a1 swer. “That was sufficient.
