Perhaps railroad corporations will give
some thought to 7. V. Powderly's opin-
ion on the Ann Arbor case. Speaking Of
Judge Ricks' injunction against the boy

it may end, it is in direct line with what
the labor organizations have been striy-
ing for during the past five or six years
namely, the naturalization Of railroads !"

HIGH School Examinations.


The report of the state examiner,
President Northrop, shows very
good resultsfor the Little Falls High

of 70 papers examined, onlyS failed
to pass. Certificates have been
received in the following subjects:
English grammar, American History,
Arithmetic. Geography, Rhetoric,
Elementary Algebra, Higher Algebra,
Plane Geometry, History OF Greece
and Rome, Physiology. Chemistry,
Physical Geography and Latin
Grammar.
The subjects in which eXamina tions
will be taken in the spring are, in
addition to the above solid Geometry,
Botany, Caesar, Natural Philosophy
and Civil Government. The senior
class will take examinations in the
five subjects last named next May.
The examiners report in regard to
the May examination cannot be
made till after the class graduates
The rank OF the members of the class
in scholarship must therefore be
determined from reports already
received. Grace Hill was unable to
take the last eXamina ton on account
of sickness. Heretofore she has lead

Below will be found the names of
the members OF the senior class

A Whale Story.

I'VE were telling stories in a
Duluth hotel the other evening""
said State Grain Inspector A. c.
,Clausen, "and in the crowd was an
old man who looked as though he
had been fried to a rich brown. We
were telling fish stories, and he had
been listening without a word of
comment. At the conclusion OF
particularly atrocious one he braced
himself together and after an apology
for his intrusion he said:
"You have been telling about small
fish. I'll tell you story which you
may not believe, but which is as true
as the fact that the sun shines l was
one of the crew of a wllaler about
thirty years ago, and we went up
into Baftin's bay to look for whales.
We sighted an immense fellow one
morning, and one of the boats was
sent for him. was one OF the crew
OF the boat which went after him.
He sounded couple of times, but
we finally got close enough to him
for the harpooner to make a strike
The weapon pierced the side of the
immense animal, and he at once
sounded, leaving trail of blood in
the water. We got out the lances in
preparation for his 1eturn to the
surface, and Judge OF our horror and
CONSERVATION when the black mass
came up directly under the boat, and
it was but the work OF an instant
for him to crush the frail vessel into
thousand fragments. held on to
my oar and was floating in the
water when Isaw the immense Jaws
OF the leviathian opened in front of
me. He Was coming for me, and
had just time enough to place the
oar upright in his jaws and hold
them open. By the force of his
motion was carried into his jaws.
ellis immense gullet was open, and
as it was very wet out in the jaws
stepped back and found it much dry
er inside. In there found one of the
members of fthe atscrew with both
legs broken by the Jaws of the whale
when he swallowed him. The whale
was rapidly dying from the effects of
the harpoOn, and I went back to the
Jaws, took out the oar, with plan
in my mind, and then came back in
to the stomach. The blubber of the
whale is very soft, SO that it took
but q short time to cut a hole
through the body. / then thrust the
oar through it, and,, by looking
through the transparent eyes of the
whale, made out the ship about a
half-mile away. 1t took me all day
to scull the heavy body to the ship.
1t was one Of the most lucky escapes

One thing made evident by the discus
sion In the Senate Of the bill pro-
vtding for the erection of a hall Of
records was the desirability OF the
adoption Of some general plan to
provide for the many new public build
tnSs which must some time be erected In
Washington. That discussion showed that
ut this time not one building only Is need
Cd. but several. TO relieve the overcrowded
condition of the public offices. 1t was ap-
parent also that there is uncertainty as to
the proper location OF the proposed build
ings. In the past whenever a bill for the
erection Of a public building in this city
has been before Congress the sticking point
has nearly always been over the site. If
II had not been for differences Of opinion
In this particular new building for the
government printing Office would have
been erected and occupied by this time.
Each succeeding year witnesses the growth
Of the clerical force OF the government
and this condition of affairs may be ex-
pected to continue so long as the popula-
ton Of the country maintains its upward
tendency. The sooner the real facts ere
met the better. Instead of dealing with
this question in half measures would 1t
not be wise to secure in one purchase a
large area OF land and thus provide means
for the erection OF buildings as rapidly as
they may be required? The plan Of buy
ing the squares of ground on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue between 9Th
street and 18th street has been recommend
ell by nearly everyone who has given the
matter any consideration. Either the land
should be bought in that locality or IN some
other. At any rate II IL evident that the
land question must be settled first before

Capt. Derby. in a statement made In The
Star has emphasized the need Of over
hauling and extending the sewerage system
OF the District at an early day. He points
out that at the rate Congress has pro-
vided for carrying into effect the recon-
mendations Of the sewer commission II
will be forty-flve years before the District
VIII be benefited. He will recommend that
financial measures be authorized by Con-
gress that will permit a rapid completion
Of the work. This might be done either
through q bonded loan or by means OF ad-
vances made from the national treasury
Whatever way Is adopted for providing for
the expenditure, there can be no question
Of the necessity for the work urged by
Capt Derby and Superintendent McComb
If any one Of contrary opinion will spend q
little time inspecting the James creek canal
and visiting growing sections Of the city
that have no sewer facilities at all he will
probably soon be converted to Capt. Der
by's view.
