RIDING ON A SHARK.
Thrilling Adventure OF Prof swan.
son Of sequel Point, Col.


Swimming Teacher swanson Of the
Capitol bath,house at Sequel Point,
Col, treated the resorters there to
thrilling spectacle the other day. His
feat was nothing less than an
exhibition tf bareback riding,
the burden bearer being a monster
shark, which was captured the same
day in the nets Of a fisherman and
towed into the slip. Its arrival ere.
ated great excitement among the
visitors at that resort. No amount Of
assurance on the part of the proprie-
tors OF the hotels or the fishermen that
basking sharks were not man-ea ers,
and that manv had been caught with
no accident happening, could entirely
quiet the fears OF the visitors,
and bathing was almost given up.
Some ocular demonstration of the
fact that basking shark was harm
less therefore became necessary.
swimming Teacher Swanson of the
Capitola baths, then determined to give
an exhibition with the shar6 which
should convince the most timid, A
performance followed, the like of
which no man ever participated in be-
fore. Swanson put on bathing suit
and swan to the wharf where
the partially exhausted monster lay,
still partly wrapped in the torn and
tangled fishing nets Slowly approach

son swan close to his side and then
c'ambered slowly on top, moderately
easy task to accomplish, as
the shark lay almost entirely
under water Sitting astride the
huge fish like baby on an ele-
plant, the bold swimmer shouted in
triumphant derision at the several
hundred people on the wharf, who had
gathered to witness the strange per.
formance.
| AS soon as the shark had realized il
had gath red 5omething on his back il
commenced to thrash about and threw
Swanson off. Women in the crowd
shrieked in fear and men held theii
breath in excitement. 1t was hardly
a minute, however, before Swan
son appeared uninjured anc
laughing outside Of the line Of foam
caused by the sharks struggles The
undaunted swimmer again went to the
side of the shark and once more
mounted his marine steed. The
shark again showed its fear and angel
by shaking him off, but not so vic
lently as before. With great persist
ence Swanson repeated the perform

on this plan: There is one judge and two
assistants, none of whom are professionals,
but are taken from among citizens the
same as we take jurors, by consent Of all
parties. Every case to be acted on must
be brought before these courts Of concilia-
tion before it can be taken into a regular
court of law. The plaintiff comes without
counsel, none being allowed on either side,
and states his case plainly, and the de-
fendant is summoned to appear on GER
tain day, either in person or by proxy,
otherwise he is fined if the case has to be
taken to law court. Then each party is
heard and questioned by the judge, who
tells them Of the legal rights and duties

Ibsen and His Plays.

There is funny row about Ibsen
and his plays in Australia. In the be.
ginning of June a theatrical matinee
was given to raise funds for the Wo-
mems College of the University of sgd
ney, and the play selected was Ibsen's
"Dukkehjem." Various dignitaries
allowed their names to be printed as
patrons of the performance, but when
the Countess of Jersey, the Governors
lady, was applied to she refused, say
ing that from what she had heard OF
lsben she had no wish to see one OF his
plays, and that it was impossible that
an actress who could play in such a
piece could be lady. This was
thought to be cruel and gratuitous
insult to Miss Achureh, who was to
play the principal character. Letters
have been written to the London news.

There is too much strain on the Secretary of
the Treasury. This fact has been made mani
fest by the resignation and subsequent death of
Secretary Manning and by the more recent
deeease in office IF Secretary Window. That
great department has. with the creation by the
present Congress of the office Of third assistant
secretary. four heads or sub-heads in contem-
plation of Law. IL point of fact, however, there
are just now only two assistant secretaries.

sirable-one which shall not impose such ire

In the day when great Carthage, the second
power Of the world, fell before the all-conquer-
ing Roman the work Of retaining part of
the Desert of Sahara was abandoned. The
first serious effort to resume this civiliZing
process in the course of more than two thou
sand years comes from a bishop of the Roman
Church whose see is Carthage. Cardinal La
vigerie is well known for his endeavors to
suppress the North African slave traffic. He
takes practical view of things and purposes
to kill two birds with one stone His plan in
brief il to stop the infamous traffic by estsb
fishing a series Of stations at intervals in the
desert where there were in ancient times wells
fer caravans. digging new ones where neees-
sary. Around these stations settlements will
be formed by irrigation and planting palms
and other tropical plants and the cereals that
will flourish in such a climate. Nearly 800
monks have responded to the cardinal bishops
request for volunteers and an experiment will
soon be made.

The sudden death Of Secretary Window star

The sudden death Of Secretary Window star
lies the country. Dying just after he had de-
livered before the New York board OF trade a
speech Of great power on the financial ques-
ton it may be said that he fell in the dis
charge of his duties and died il harness. The
blow to the administration is blow which
falls on the American people In the late Sec
reIary Of the Treasury the republic had one OF
the coolest, wisest and strongest counsclors and
one of the soundest administrators of financial
policy ever in its service. Twice at the head Of the
Treasury, he had displayed signal force in mo-
ments of peril, as well as broad sagacity in the
general outlines. Full Of resources gathered
in 9 long and active career in both houses. Mr..
Window came To President Gsrfeld's cabinet
prepared for the task imposed upon him. When
in q few months the executives untimely
death interposed he had demonstrated his
capacity for directing the nations fiscal affairs.
When, therefore. after an interregnum in
official duty Mr.. Window was appointed by
President Harrison TO be Secretary Of the
Treasury there was general confidence that the
portfolio had been well bestowed This con-
ndence was not misplaced. In the crisis
raised by English over-speeulation and its re-
action on Wall street, following a strained con-
dition in this country due TO excessive railway
building, the Seeretary's grasp of the situa-
ton seemed perfect. and the prompt. decisive,
although conservative measures adopted
sisted very greatly to reduce the strain,
restore confidence and secure a return to nor
NAL conditions If there were needed a monu-
ment to the memory of the dead Secretary the
history of that crisis would alone be sufficient.
But his fame will rest. not on any one act or
series of acts in official life. but the general
powers Of his mind and the aggregation of his
services. Happy in the moment of exit as in
his conduct on the stage of public affairs. he
fell in the full light Of public appreciation with
the public applause of his course ringing in his
ears.
