A MONSTER WHALE.
A Denizen of the Deep Long
Way From Headquarters.

There is at present on exhibition at
the foot of Fourth street. adjoining the
Northern Pacific general offices, one of
the largest whales ever captured. Few
people have ever seen whale, but each
one has his own idea of the magnitude
OF these great monsters. ''AS big as a
house Is a common simile made use of
IN stating the comparative size of these
prodigious mammals, but whether the
speaker refers to one, two, three or ten
story house is question.
The whale referred to was killed by
Capt. Newton p. West, fifteen miles
southeast of Pequin Island, on the coast
of Maine. 1t is is feet long, ii feet
across the tiukeS and its lower jaw is l6
feet long. 1t weighs 40 tons and travels
/. i'll car specially made for the purpose,
which when open for exhibition is S6 feet
long, 23 feet wide, and will accommo-
date 600 people at one time.
A breech-lOading whaling gun, weigh
ing twenty-five pounds, was the inStru-
ment of humiliation. The bomb lance
entered the right side, and, passing
through the heart, lodged under the
left shoulder blade, where it exploded.
The monster lived twenty minutes after
it was wounded. Capt. West, who has
been whaler ever since he was sixteen
years of age, accompanies the show, and
III his lectures relates his thrilling ad-
ventures while he was engaged in the
hazardous business of whale hunting.

Saved His Life.

New York Sun.
Two plainly dressed men stood at the
clerks desk in the Fifth-Avenue hotel
last night. Everybody recognized them,
for their names and faces were familiar
everywhere. The one was tall and
erect, with griZzled beard, old derby
hat and carelesSly arranged necktie
the other was SmOOth-faced, with regu-
lar features, merry, sparkling eyes and
let black hair cOmbed to points that
projected over his ears. They were
William Tecumseh Sherman and Joe
Jefferson, the actor. They were chat
ting gaily and evidently enjoying them
selves. The famous soldier and oscula-
tor was telling stories. Turning to a
third party in the group, he said: Zone
OF the most valiant achievements of my

Thought Shakespeare a Plagiarist

new lOTk Suu
A young man from Connecticut has
been in the city for several days trying
to dispose of tragedy thathe has writ
ten between chOre-time and bedtime.
He has offered it to several managers
for $1,000 and 10 per cent of the gross
receipts for two years, but he has not
been successful. Last evening he was
invited by prominent Elk to attend
their social at the Elk's club. The
young fellow brought his tragedy with
him, and on the quiet asked Arthur
Moreland to call on him to read an act
as his part of the entertainment.
"Let me see your play" said More
land. The author handed it to him and
MOreland took it over in one corner and
scanned it through.
''Well, what do you think of it?"
asked the author eagerly.
ut is very clever, sir, but I don't
think you can dispose of it in New
York. 1t reads as though you stole your
idea from Hamlet"
"Who's Hamlet" q:
"Why, Hamlet that Shakespeare
wrote" ~
"Well, by lingo, 1 didn't, and I'll bet

had shorthand man in New Haven

tainment, and got his idea from me.'

The Northern Pacific railroad yester-
day filed an appeal in the district

road commissioners regarding sleep
ing car berths, whereby it is re-
quired that each upper berth shall

the United States. James Mcknight
and John o. Bullet, Jr., appear for the
Northern Pacific.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 24.-The report
of the divorce proceedings against John
Wilkin. the much-married man of st.
Paul, created quite a senation here,
where the festive Lothario has wealthy
and highly respected relatives, and
where he formerly resided. He married
the Stetson woman referred to in the
dispatches at Erie, Pa, May II last, and
brought her to this city, taking rooms at
1872 Erie street, where they remained
until two weeks ago, when they left,

that he was going to st. Paul. A re-
porter this evening found Mr.. Wilkin,
father of the bigamist John, at his
cosy home on Prospect street, one
of the most tony quarters of
the city. The old gentleman is
a well-preServed man of about sixty
five, and was enjoying the comforts of

read it his eyes filled with tears. A
wave of anguish passed over his face,
