Yarns About Huge Sharks.

Some heavy shark stories we're told
by two captains who arrived in Boston
port the other day. The sharks are de-
clared to be of unusual size and seem TO
be nearer land. Captain Thurston, of
the fishing schooner Sisters, reports that
he was fishing about twenty miles off
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, when a huge
shark was hooked by the nose with n cod
hook. They got the monster to the sur
face alongside the vessel and tried to get
a stout new rope over his head, but he
bit the rope right through again and
again, as though IL were cut with
sharp axe. Then they drove harpoon
into the back Of his neck and held him
while they got into boat and attacked
him with axes, killing him after des-
perate struggle. The shark proved to
be too large to take on beard, so they
cut out his liver, which filed two and a
half barrels, and took aboard the head
and tail, letting the body 90. This is
one Of the largest Of the species ever
seen IN these waters, being twenty-five
feet long and estimated to weigh over
two tons. His head was as large as a
hogshead and weighed between COO and
70J pounds. A good sized boy could
crawl inside its open mouth. The
schooner Minnie c., Captain John Saun-
ders, captured a large shark of Var
mouth light house few days later.
The shark took the bait and was hauled
to the surface and harpooned. After
half an hours hard struggle he was fin
ally secured. He measured twenty-five
feet in lenght and weighed about two
tons. n Chicago Herald.

IN the Red Parlor Of the White House

In the Red Parlor Of the White House
a Washington photographer took pict-
ure of four generations of the Harrison
family. The Rev. DIR. Scott sat on the
extreme right of the group, Mrs. Harri-
son and Mrs. Mckee came next and the
famous Baby Benjamin Harrison Mckee
completed the gathering. The latter
did his best TO make the affair failure,
and if it had not been for what is known
as "the instantaneous process he would
have succeeded. There is a difference
of eighty eight years between the gener-
atoms represented in the picture. DR..
Scott is ninety and Baby Mckee only
two years of age.

The Chums of the Cabinet.


The Cabinet meetings close Just as
the lunch hour begins On these days
Blaine and Window usually go Off and
lunch together. There is q tie of nssocci-
alton and friendship between them, and
if an issue arose in the Cabinet they
would be apt to be found both ON the
same side. Wanamaker aud Noble
usually come out of the Cabinet meet
ing together, and though each rides in
his own carriage. they leave the White
House at the same time, and the car
riages go all the way down and strut to
their Departments one behind the other
like the fragment of a funeral process
sion. Wanamaker's horse usually looks
in at the back window of Mobiles car
rage. Proctor and Tracy occupy the
same building but it is their habit to
walk to and from the Cabinet meetings
each by himself. Uncle Jerry Rusk is
the Lone Star of the Cabinet. He alone
cares very little for dignity, but is good
humored and frank. He has the best
carriage Of the lot, drawn by two good
bay horses, and he drives off by himself
to the Department of crop reports

THE SYNDICATE wIrnDRAws.
Oystermen still Hold the Mud Flats
More Piles Cut.

There is apparently a cessation OF
hostilities on the part of those war
ring for the possession of the mud
fats, but this is due 10 the fact that
the syndicate, made up of Hill and
others, has become tired of driving
the piles, and not because the oyster
men are wearied with cutting them
down. On Wednesday the pile-driyer
hired by the syndicate drove num-
Der of piles, and left them at O'Clock
10 stand alone during the night. At 7
O'Clock yesterday morning 20 of the
piles had been cut down, presumably
by the oystermen. Those when were
left standing were outside of the ter
ritory claimed by the oystermen. The
syndicate is evidently tired of driving
piles as the piie-driver was taken off
these water blocks yesterday and
towed TO the foot OF Main street. The
loss so far has been So piles on Mon
day night. % on Tuesday and GO on
Wednesday. Total lS3. These at s.
apiece are worth 1910. In addition to
this boat worth Sl00 was DESTROYED.
This makes a total of 5000. Then
there Is the removal of the chopped
OF poles from their bed in the mud.
which will cost no small sum.
In conversation one of the members
OF the syndicate yesterday said: I'VE
took up this properly year ago this
spring, long before the oyster claim
was taken up and recorded. We
fenced in these water blocks with
piles, which were also capped. The
syndicate was waiting till Commercial
street was opened in order 10 improve
It's property. 1t Is our intention 10
erect on these blocks we own factory

other wooden ware AT present our

shape of tubs and pals. We propose

The City OF Pueblo to Take the San

SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 1.-THE fol
lowing published statement is
made here: A very important
change is announced in the coast
steamship lines. The charters
of the steamers City OF Pueblo
and Pomona have expired. These
vessels are owned by Capt. ]. n.
Knowles and Others, and were char
tered by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company for period which expired
to-day. The City of Pueblo was
brought out from the East. and the
Pomona was built at the Union iron
Works. Some time before Christmas
the contract of Goodall, Perkins q
Co. with the Oregon Railway & Navi.
CATION Co. expired, and ii was cur
rently reported for time that the
agency OF the steamers was 10 be given
To John Howard.
A new contract, however was en-
tered into, and Goodan. Per
klns q Go. remained the agents
OF the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
The announcement of the intention
OF Capt. Knowles to run his steamers
In opposition 10 the railroad was a sur
pTl'e to everyone, and there is a great
deal OF speculation as to the
cause, upon which the principals
themselves are very reticpnt.
The City OF Pueblo, which
snier the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
has been rgnnIng south. will now be
run on the Paget Sound route, and
the Pomona will ran as usual. leaving
on the same day to Eareka. The sail.
ing day OF the CITY Of Pueblo will hs,
Friday. The general superstition in
regard 10 the aew line is simply bid
for "a higher charter.

decided yesterday not to pass the fes
bin submitted by Justice Soderberg;
but to cut therefrom every item that
allowed fees for the service OF processes
10 deputy sheriifs and police officers
This matter has caused much hard
feeling between the police and Con,
stable Thornton. Justice Soderberg
has been accustomed TO allow the DO
lice TO serve warrants OF arrest in ter
rirorial tases. Constable Thornton
claims that this is not lawful and that
be is entitled to make the service
Of I'll papers from Justice Sober
berg's court unless he is sick OF
absent, and he quotes section IT'S oil
the code in support of his claim. He
further claims that many times when
he is in court Jnstice Soderberg viii
ignore hira and give papers to police
men to serve. In this way, he says
he has received fees in only a few
petty cases, while the police officers
have made fat thing out of IT,
On the other hand the policemen
claim that Mr.. Thornton is not on
hand when he is needed, and that
they serve the papers as a matter OF
convenience to the court. while Mr..
Thornton il at home asleep. They
think that they should have the fees
they earn, but the Law seemed in Con-
stable Thornton's favor and the board
decided to pay no fees TO the police
men.
