WHALEBONE
A Branch of Business in Which the Profits
Are Uncertain.

A Branch of Business in which the Profits
Are Uncertain.
ssThere is no article of commerce
that varies more widely in its market
price than whalebone," said a New
York dealer to reporter recently, 'tIn
January it may sell for two dollars
five dollars a pound. Twenty-Five
years ago the price was seventy-fve
cents pound. 1t varies in price ac-
cording to the catch, and this in turn
depends upon the luck of the sailors
If they find the whaling grounds closed
by ice, meet with a shipwreck, or for
any reason fail to catch whales the
price goes up. This makes it very
speculative business and we can never
tell what our stock is worth until we
hear of the catch"
..What part does whalebone chiefly
come from?''
1.-The main supply is brought from
the North Pacific whalers and comes in,
in November. A smaller quantity
comes from the South Sea and arrives
about June Now and then a small
| supply comes from Davis Straits
and Hudson Bay. Whales are
| caught there at all seasons OF the
year, and the bone coming to New
York is apt to disturb the price.
Many years ago it was the custom Of
/ whaling captains, when out of stores
to stop at some Pacific port and ex
| change some of their whalebene fol
the necessary supplies and in this way
| smaller lots would come in and trouble
the market. Ships are now SO thor
oughly supplied that there is no longel
any need of continuing this practice
The supply comes from New Bedfort
and San Francisco, which are the grea
whaling points of this country. 1
great amount used to come from Nan
tucket, but the shallowness of its har
Dor and the greater convenience o
New Bedford drove its trade away
On board ship the slaps of whalebone
as they are termed in mercantil
phrase, are done up in bundles {
about two hundred pounds each, an
are sent to the market in that shape
In cutting up whalebone there is los
of about twenty per cent. on the ra'
material The hair is worth ten cent

4 POLICEMAN.

ATLANTA, GA, July %, 1885.
Whenever know of anything that might
be of service to my fellow-men desire to I'M
part such information; hence give the follow
ing facts to the public:
Mrs. NJ NJ Prince, living at 3S West Fair st.
Atlanta, Ga. has been troubled for several
months with an ugly form of catarrh, attended
with copious and offensive discharge from
both nostrils.
Her system became so affected and reduced
that she was confined to bed at my house for
some time, and received the attention of three
physicians and used a dozen bottles of an ex-
tensively advertised blood remedy, all without
the least benefit.
She finally commenced the use of B. B. B.,
with decided improvement atonce, and when
| ten bottles had been used she was entirely cur
ed of all symptoms of catarrh.
1t gave her appetite, and increased her
strength rapidly, and cheerfully recommend
| it as a quick and cheap tonic and Blood Puri-

ence to that quality as it existed in her
own times or as it exists outside of this
city when it is referred to in connection
with courts. Thirty days in the county jail
is very common punishment for drunk.
A poor man whose family need his assist
ance and his earnings is forced in prison
for whole month for simple drunk. 1t
does not destroy his taste for rum. He is
not reformed, but he acquires an everlast-
ing contempt for the law which imposes
such a penalty. The public pays the
jailor for his lodging, with no compensation
for the expense and a degraded jail-bird is
turned loose upon society to disgrace him
self and his family, whose self-respect is no
less affected than that of the victim him
self. Ninety days is a public charge for
vagrancy. Expense to the city. 500. Two
days in the county jail for striking mean,

PENDANT had awaited trial for the latter Of
fense lying in Jail sixty days. He comes
out of prison a disgraced, stigmatzed citi-

we're puniShments rather injure than bene-
fit the social fabric? Would not the impo-
sition of fines in such cases. especially such
as the first and the latter, be commensurate
with the offenses? Laws cease to be a
public good where their existence or their
administration engenders public con-
tempt, and it remains to be seen whether

Said a Scandinavian ON Washington ave-

Hon. Andrew Tharaldson is going to run
for county treasurer next fall?" 81 have
heard so and, being on the Republican side,
Isuppose he will pull the whole stronghold
with the Scandal strap down South -
''Well," came the answer, 81 don't know
about that. Look, here is where the fun
comes in. Mr.. Tharaldson, of course, ex-
pected that MI. Haugan would support
him in the run, they being old friends and
political allies. but Notwithstanding all this,
Mr.. Haugan has fatty refused to support
Mr.. Tharaldson, pleading to be under
promises to Mat Walsh" How do you,
or people who know, view the promises?"
was my next query. ''Well, they are
generally construed in this way: Either is
Haugan going to make the run and Walsh
to get the place, or else Haugan will try to
succeed in the treasury and have
Walsh compensated in some other way.
Those two men have been long enough in
the field together to know how to
play into each others hand" ''What
do you think of the outcome?" sob"
said my man, wiping his forehead, Il
know that MI. Tharaldson is a man who
will stand up to the fight and pull a heavy
support. and l think l have heard some
whispers about Haugan's possibilities, on

lowers with off casts of the other party -

A ROMANTIC VAGABOND.
A Thousand Dollars Cash Turned Up
by Minneapolis Tramp.
How Crime Drove a Nobleman to be
Homeless Wanderer.

Tramps, as a rule, have some sort of a
history, and some of them can tell many a
romantic incident which has 1allen athwart
their lives. Such one was at the Mime
apolis lookup night or so ago. He was
run in with half dozen others, and pre-
scented as tough an appearance as any of
them. When searched large, old-fash-
toned pocketbook was found in his
pocket. In this pocketbook were two
bank notes, one for 1000 marks and the
other for 1900 marks. aggregating in
American money $1,000. In separate
compartment of the pocketbook was found
a certificate to the effect that Albert Butkle,
the bearer, had graduated from one of the
best known colleges in Germany with high
honors. Numerous letters from Bremen,
Germany, were also contained in the peck
etbook, and showed very plainly that tn e
man was of no ordinary stock. His goods
were slowed carefully while he occupied a
cell until morning, when he was ex-
amined and given one hour IN which to
leave the city.

DoST THOU REmEMeERa

Dost thou remember, love, one night in June?
Above our heads the stars their tapers
swung;
And from her fleecy couch the fair young
moon
Lifted herself, and, smiling DER US, hung,
Dost thou remember, love? All! life for me
Can never hold brighter memory
The waves crept up and whispered at our
feet
AS though they had tender tale to tell;
Across the hills there came in cadence sweet
The silver swayings of a distant bell;
And with thy kisses ruby-lipped, divine,
My soul was Keeling as from draughts of
wine!
Dost thou remember, love? Canst thou for
get
How in my hand thy vibrant fingers lay,
How quickly moon ana evening star had set,
And how the moments sped like dreams
away?
Thou dost remember? Thou didst only feign?
Say it again, my own again-againl

The CONGREGATIONAL n,npa5qn.

That Loren Fletcher will be the Repub-
lican nominee for congress there is no rea-
son to doubt. Warned by his experience
of two years ago this subtle politician will
leave no loophole through which defeat
may creep at the last moment to snatch
victory from his grasp. He proposes to
make sure of Hennepin county, and to that
end has organized bureau, with full
corps of lieutenantS, one to each ward and
town. Conferences are nightly held, and
the work of selecting delegates has pro-
crossed almost to Its close. No more willy
politician than MI. Fletcher ever pulled
wire or rolled a log, and while Gilfllan is
learning the ropes at Washington, prepare
tory to second term ard one of usefulness,
he will quietly distance him in the conven-
ton. His delegates will be personal friends,
selected on account of their local popular
ity, and it is doubtful if Mr.. Gilfllan gets
even foothOld in the convention.
On the Democratic side of the fence there
is no activity whatever, and not even a
pronounced candidate is in the field. The
two names mentioned are those of Hon. A.
T. Ankeny of Minneapolis and John w.
Willis of ST. Paul. The former is said to
be an active candidate, while the latter has
never so much as intimated he would
accept a nomination. Minneapolis Demo-
Gratis do not tackle kindly to Mr.. Willis,
principally on account of his youth and
their lack of acquaintance with him. He
is also opposed as being a free-trader. MI.
Ankeny is quite popular here. He was
warm and influential in the recent cam
paign here. and while friend of the pres
ent administration, returns the friendship
and respect of the ''anti-Ames Democrats"
lNx-xx ,ra1,
renee, Side, McNair, Lochren wing of the
party. 1t is the feeling in many quarters.
