There was recent attempt to make
political capital out OF the refusal OF the
town council to allow the bill of an un-
dertaker for fees ordered on burial re-
turns. As IL happened that few days be-
fore the bin was presented the town
clerk received notice from the
state board of health ordering that such
fees should be allowed only when the
returns had been legally maoe
before burial. Such returns had not
been made promptly and the
town had never paid the fees. Since then
several other undertakers have been in
curing whether they could collect back
fees or not. In future all returns will be
expected promptly, and II the statutes are
complied with the fees will be paid.

A MONSTER SHARK.
His Teeth Alone Remain to Tell the
Story of His Size.
Fossil Relics Found Near Beaufort,
S.C.,-An Answer to Numerous In
quiries ut The News 0Aiee.

Much interest has been manifested by
the public in a curious looking tooth that
has hung for some weeks in THE NEWS
office window. The tooth has history.
and II and multitudes of it's companions
bear silent testimony TO prehistoric age
when man was not yet born and animals
OF gigantic proportions and savage tenn
per ruled the world.
The tooth was taken from the petrified
Jaw of prehistoric shark whose lineage is
so clouded in obscnrity that the most
cunning scientists have not been able to
classify it. II was evidently an animal
OF Herculean proportions and a CORES
ponding appetite. 1t existed in
huge schools in that part of
the south now known as South Carolina.
1t had monopoly of the region, for the
bones of no oEs4er large animals are here
to be found. Some idea of the gigantic
size of the fish may be obtained from
the fact that teeth weighing nearly 10
pounds have been found.
River Beds Full of Them.
The discovery of these curious teeth was
made by Mr.. r.. G. Holmes of Beaufort,
s. c., native of New Jersey, who
enlisted in the civil war and
at its close settled down to the life of a
South Carolina planter. In 1866 he noticed
in the beds and along the banks of the
streams in the vicinity of Beau
fort curious rock, evidently
dating back to the time
Immediately following the period when
the earth was emancipated from the con-
dition described as without form and
void" He became interested in the rock
and forwarded specimen to Prof. Holmes
OF the Charleston Medical college who ex-
amined it and pronounced it relic OF an
age
Long Before the Flood.
In it were found numerous specimens
of curious sharks teeth, together with
segments Of the animals jaws and
huge joints and articulations.
Prof. Holmes became interested and to-
gether with Planter Holmes made a
thorough inspection of the rivers around
Beaufort. Their search was well reward
ed, numerous bones and teeth of the ex-
tinct fish being discovered. Mr.. Holmes
has i'm his possession one tooth weighing
14sl pounds, and has seen many others
nearly as large.
a Mysterious Animal.
Scientists are puzzled where to locate
this huge fish in the general family
of prehistoric wonders. Neither
can they arrive at definite conclusion
as to just what age he lived in except that
it was at time long before Noah was
called to clear his ark and set sail for Mt.
Ararat. The huge animal has
come down through the ages by
the means of his teeth and a
few old bones, but so meager are the evil
dences that he will probably never be ex-
actly located. He was undoubtedly big,
presumably ugly and possibly the auto
crat of his age of whom all other fishes
stood in abject terror.
Mr.. Holmes, the discoverer of this fish,
is at present in this city on a business
trip.

NO DYNAMITE.
Music Hall, Like Scotland, Stands
Where IL Did.

w mere II Dlu.
Music Hall stands in its accustomed
place just above Aborn street on the left
side of Westminster street going up.
1t hasn't been scattered TO the four winds
of heaven by dynamite as the threatening
letter to Chief OF Police Child, Friday
seemed to indicate. No one seriously
thought that the very handy hall would
be laid waste because a crank or practical
Joker saw fit to write a bad letter.
The police, however, were on hand in
force, to make it very dis
agreeable for anyone inclined to
interfere with the present architectural
outlines of the city's main artery and sus-
picious looking individuals were under
constant surveillance.
Those interested in Mr.. Moody's great
work evidently had little fear OF being
sent to heaven before their time,
consequently the spacious hall was
filled to the walls. The wonderful
revivalist made no reference TO the silly
scare and in the carnestness and power
OF the meeting little else was thought OF
than the serious purpose of the vast audi
encc 10 encourage the work OF the dis
tinguished visitors end get az much good
from their presence rs possible. The
meeting was one OF the best held in the
interesting series and men and women
bowed 10 the spirit OF reverence and wor-
ship which was abroad.

John Greenway either neglected to turn
off the gas or left it burning purposely
Saturday night. He was found dead in
bed at his boarding place 30 Congress ave-
nue. Sunday morning. He evidently was
in sane state when he
retired and it is supposed that the
loose gas cock played him trick and
instead OF turning off the gas he turned it
on again. 1t was found escaping when
the body was discovered. Greenway was
an Englishman, about 30 years of age. He
had been in this country number of
years. Medical Examiner Keefe said that
death was due TO suffocation.
