chase was exciting and dangerous.
The whales were harpooned close to

diving struggles are alleged to have
been terrible. Two of the boats nere

The second whale, killed when it
was first harpooned, lay almost on the
bar between the Amagansett life saving
station and Pantigo Point. 1t was
small calf, but unusually game. Wher

With lightning speed it dived out o

HOW BEEOHBR WAS REBUKED,

Never was a more fitting rebuke adj
miuistered to avindlctive spirit than that
Illustrated in the renting of the Ply
mouth church pews recently. Ever
since Henry Ward Beecher felt impelled
to openly antagonize the election OF
Mr.. Blaine the air has been thick with
rumors of the settling day that would
overtake him when the annual sale OF
pews in his church came around. At
ter Blaine's defeat these rumors grew
into threats, and such papers as the
New York Tribune sirove to make 1t
appear that the d~issension in Beecher's
congregation meant its complete disco
luton, Finally Mr.. Beecher thought
it exppdient to accept the challenge OF
his hidden enemies, and Il week ago
last Sunday boldly met the issue they
had raised. In a remarkable address
he confessed to the active part he had
taken in tine late campaign and gloried
in the triumph to which he had con-
tributed. He acknowledged mistakes
i'm some of the details of his conduct,
AMI regretted some things he had said.

GOING TO SLEEP HUNGRY.

OF all the animals on the face OF the
earth man is the only III that can be
trained to go to sleep on an empty
stomach. At first-that is, while he is
a little baby and guided by instinct-he
will. not do it, but kicks and yells until
he gets his stomach full before he shuts
one eve. Then he cuddles down and
sleeps like a top until he gets hungry
again. When he gets big enough to be
spanked he is submitted to a severe
course of training, which finally con-
ouers his instinct, and in defiance OF
nature he IAN get to sleep with the
cries of his ervo and physical system
for food ringing in his ears.
His sleep will be more or less dis
turbed by his clamor, but it is attribu-
ted to nervousness. He gets up in the
| morning feeling tired and exhausted,
