hard, even If they wsntey TO. Their
teeth, be explains, are set in a bubber-
like cushion, In which they work up

anything harder than ships Slush
makes the shark suffer excruciating
pain. Still, Mr.. Oelrichs is said
to admit that when empty and unable 10

that any half brave, barefoot man could
kick the tar out of any shark, and in It's

Still the weight OF evidence seems to
support Mr.. Van Rensselaer's idea of
the man-eating shark. He is firmly con-

a shark. In Ceylon once he saw pearl
diver attacked by a shark. Mr.. Van
Rensselaer,, gazing deep down into the
Dellucid waters, saw every move 10 the
fight. The divers knife, sharp as II
was, could not pierce the sharks hide.
Then the man lOoSed the slab Of stone
used TO carry him into the depths and
thrust IL into the sharks mouth. The
shark instantly crushed IL 10 atoms, and
then, at one gulp, boited the diver,
knife, pearls and all.
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, has seen sharks
with teeth ranging from six inches In
length down 20 little grinders hardly an
inch long. Setting as they do In rows,
like half a dozen Crosscut saws, Mr.
Van Rensselaer, has no doubt that a
shark fitted up in this way could with
ease bite of a steel rail. Mr.. Van
Rensselaer, cannot imagine a more fear
ful sight than an eighteen foot man de-
vouring shark coming head on under a
full head Of steam, with jaws open and
every one of his six inch teeth cleaning.
The most recent case that can be cited
In support of Mr.. Van RenSSelaer'S be-

Wednesday last. While fishing half a
mile of shore, Tony BOlger fell over
board. AS he was climbing on hoard

him. Luckily for Tony the sharks
mouth fOuled the anchor chain, and be-
fore it bit the chain in two the man
was safe. The loss of his prev
so enraged the shark that II
raced round and round the drifting
boat, stopping now and then TO poke its
head out OF water aud glare at the fish
ermen. Soon after sail was made the
shark chased the little sloop almost
into the surf.
Three men, Harley Mcintyre, Jack
son Dunn and Dan DoolitJle, were be-
Gained in a catboat on Great South
Bay day or so ago. Then they tried
rowing. Presently, without warning, q
hungry shark, anywhere from twelve 70

the boat and tried TO upset it. The
lutte craft half filled, but the men man

while the shark tried again and again
TO upset them.
Then Captain hugh DUrgln saw they
were 10 some sort OF trouble and came
10 help them. He always carried a

4 CHICAGO MANS STRANGE DISPOSAL OF BIS
DAUGHTERS.
BE Had Married Second fine, There Was Trouble
Over Stspmoiher, So the Children Were Started
on the Way 10 fh.lr Mother, WAC is Divorced
Woman.

NEW YORK, September s.-Two
young girls, who were shipped by their
father ia Chicago for Brooklyn, were
intercepted at the Weehawken Station
OF the West Shore railroad and held at
the rooms of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children. Agent
Thomas G. Moore, OF the Society, took
the girls to the Jefferson Market Police
Court.
Esther Gunderson, OF the Bible and
Fruit Mission, No. 4l6 East Twenty
sixth street, took an interest In tho girls
and proposed To see that they were
properly disposed OF.
Agent Moore, thinking there was
something suspicious In the affair, made
an investigation, and found that the
girls were Title Levine, aged Is years,
and her sister Fannie, aged IL years.
They lived with their father, Henry
Levine, at No. 446 Union street, Chi
cago. The father married a second time
and this was the cause OF the trouble.
The girls said they could not get along
with their stepmoJher, Minnie; that she
was cruel.
The stepmother told her husband that
she did not want the girls around the
house and said that they must be put
away, so the girls assert.
Henry Levine sent his two daughters
to DR.. Hayman, No. 70 johnson avenue,
Brooklyn. AS the train carrying the
girls passed through Buffalo, j. ;.
Kingsley. connected with charitable
work In that city, found the girls on the
train and telegraphed to New York,
asking that they be taken from the
train and placed In care OF the Temper
ance Union, where they would be treat
ed well until it became clear what the
object in shipping them TO New York
was. Neither of the girls knew DR..
Hayman.
Further efforts on the part OF Agent
Moore elected the fact that the girls
were to be sent TO Russia. The mother
OF the girls, Betty. is still living In Rus
STA; the father was divorced from her
and came TO America.
Four years ago Fannie was brought
to this country. Her sister Title came
here one Jear ago. DR.. HaYman's wife
is a native OF Russia, and IS acquainted
with the mother OF the girls. Some
time ago the mother expressed a wish
TO have the girls with her in Russia.
1t was the fathers intention for the
girls to live with DR.. Hayman until the
mother could send for them.
Agent Moore said there was no evil
dence that DR.. Hayman would take the
girls. He did not know that they were
coming TO his house. Justice Ryan
ommltted the girls to the care OF the
society, until II could be learned what
the real trouble was.

BONDS HAVE THE CALL.

Now that the citizens of this city
have decided by good majority
that they will issue bonds with
which to sewer the city, it is Of the
first Importance that every means
be tried to dispose of those bonds
at the best possible figure. There
is no one, no matter what his atti-
tude toward the bond issue, but
will feel that now the issue has
been decided on it is necessary to
secure the best terms possible for
the city in their sale. The main
question and principal considera-
ton in the minds OF those who will
bid for these bonds, will be the
present credit of the city, the man.
ner in which her bond issues in the
past have been redeemed, and the
legality Of the issue as offered.
Assuming that there is no question
as to the legality of the issue the
question will hinge on the credit OF
the city, that is upon the prompt.
ness with which it has met
and is meeting its financial
obligations. There is but one law
of credit for the Individual anC

it OF each is based upon the same
considerations, promptitude in
payment and value of assets. A:

enter into this question, as the as
sessed values of this city ar,

were attended to. The only bonds
on tstanding against the city, al
ready past maturity, is a small
issue of street improvement bonds,
$4,000, falling due Sept. 10Th, 1898
These bonds remain unpaid, inter-
est and principal. Among the ster-
reotyped questions that will have
to be answered under oath to the
satisfaction of would-be bond pur-
chasers is this, "Has there been
any default in interest or principal
or contest over any bonds ever
issued by this municipality" This
question meets the city at the out
set, and if an unsatisfactory an
swer is given 1t may easily knock
ten percent off the bids. A two
percent rise in the bids would meet
that $4,000 and wipe it out, and it
is not wise for the city council to
neglect this little matter. Before
bids are advertised for this $4,000
street improvement bond should
be taken up, and the slate cleared
f)r straight clean, answer to the
questions that will be put. There
are no end of these queries, but San
Antonio is in condition to give a
satisfactory reply on all other
accounts, and for the sake of her
credit and the effect that it will
have on her bond bids should not
allow this paltry matter to effect
her in the premises. Wisdom, as
we'll as financial squareness, says
clean this matter up before the
bonds are offered for sale.
