Capt. Mitchell of the steamer tug

PHILADELPHIA, having in tow the bone
laden Italian bark Orch, from Buenos

been attacked by Il tremendous school
of whales ut II o'clock in the morning on
Monday last. while cruising, forty miles
southeast of Cape Henlopen. The
whales surrounded the tug for period
of four hours, blowing large streams of
water into the air. which completely shut

was generally agreed that it was the

1t was a serious time on board the frail

these monsters seemed infatuated and

the bullets had no effect. One monster

Took Three Hours.

A hotel clerk told this story: Three men
from the country came into the hotel and
registered for lodging, and a few minutes
later two Of them went out to see the
town. II will stay here" said the third,
land look at things" and he took Il seat
near the door. At 10 O'Clock, half hour
later, the man who was left went up to
the clerk. II want to remain" said he.
''All right. SIR answered the clerk. The
man stood and looked at the clerk and
finally went back to his chair near the
door. He sat still another hour and re-
turned TO the desk. eff you please, III
remain" he said. THAT'S all right. sir, "
was the response. 1--WE hope you'll be
with us some time" The man hesitated
and went back to the chair. 1t Was away
after midnight when he went up to the
clerk for the third time. Il think I'll
remain, SIR he said. 1--WE have no OBJ
jections. answered the man behind the

| afterward another guest came up and
asked the clerk for his key, land III re-
fire. Retire! Retire! That's the
word I've been trying to think of for

retire." interrupted the man who had so
desired to remain, and he was at last
happy.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Like the Shah,

Like the SnRn.
Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, the divorced wife
/ of Willie X, is not popular in American
society. and many stories are related to
Commercial Advertisers: 1t is we'll
known fact that for years Mrs. Alva Van
derbilt has not addressed mental direct
~. but has employed certain persons to
take from her the royal commands. To
talk to Il tradesman or to order ANYTHING
out of shop is too much for her nerves.
and that is why probably she has never
taken the trouble to visit the Sloane car,
pet palace. where Mr.. Sloane delights to
take orders and to see that his customers
are well suited, even if he has married
Il Vanderbilt. On one occasion, two
summers ago, she had list written and
given to the lodge keeper at Newport
of the people who were to be admitted
and those who were not When Il car
| riage drove up the guardian would peer
out of the lodge. and if the person was

the usual ceremonies, so we'll known in
Newport, put in motion. One day one If
the jeunesse doree thought he would
call on her, and he walked instead of
driving to the gate. They were partially
open and he saw his fair hostess stroll
ing along the path inside. He evidently
was not on the list. but being unaware of
the existence of this document, he simply
strolled through the portals and passed
the sentry. Mrs. Vanderbilt turned
around and saw him. She looked right
above his head and called Immediately
for the lodge keeper. The trembling
servitor appeared. Turning to COM
panion she said: TELL this man that he
is discharged. He had no right to allow
that man with a slight motion of the
head toward the unfortunate social cul-
prit) to enter And she walked away. The
man tells the story on himself and has
been repeating it recently with great zest.

Servants Names.

John? By no means whatever. You
will be called by your first name Why ::
Because the office of butler is one of
great responsibility and dignity. and
when you graduated from the position of
second man up to the higher place of
butler your worth was recognized by a
more formal mode of address than your
plain coSnomen of John. On you rests
along with the cook-the weight of the
household. On you it depends that all
guests are received ut the door with
promptneSs. with courtesy and careful at
tention. On you depends the beauty and
attractiveneSs of the serving of the food,
which is quite as important as the cook
ing of it. You are in a large measure re-
snnsible for the success or failure of
all the hospitality Of this home. and your
behavior in great degree sets the ton" for

simplify matters when there are Armies"

Nm Moro Sinrinr.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody was
to be heard all over the country. The Ia
bOrcr going home to bed through the
vines sung his storncllo or his rispetto to
the sleeping fields. The boy who drove
his yokcd oxen or COWS in the big square
cart beguiled the way with song, joyous
or amorous. The guitar and the man,lo,
lin were heard ut dusk at every farm,
house door and in the streets of the town
youths went singing and playing until tht
moon was high.
There was music all over the land,
along the hctlgerOws. as in the city lanes,
under the poplars and mulberrics as be-
meath the walls of citadel and baptistry.
How many time ut sunset or in the star
light have [ listened to the beautiful can
zone of the peasantry when the sweet.
ness of the vine flower filled the atmo-
sphere or the dropped acacia blossom shed
it's smell on garden paths. Now rarely
are these wood-notes wild over heard to
tighten and spiritualze toil.-Ouida in the

CHINESE TROUBLE.
Ex-Secretary Fosters Comment on
the Recent Riots.
DISCRIMINATION THE CAUSE.
Americans Should Be Chary
In Condemnation.

WArERTowN, N. Y, Sept. 0. - Hon.
John w. Foster, cx-sccretary of state, and
the recent counsel for the Chinese gov
ernmcnt, in an address on foreign mis-
sions here last night, spoke as follows on
the recent riots in China:
The opinion formed by mo after careful
inquiry and observation is that the mass
of the population of China, particularly
the common people, are not specially hos
tile TO tho missionaries and their work.
Occasional riots have occurred, but tn Y
are almost invariably traced TO the Litera
or prospective Office holders and the ruling
classes.
These are often bgoted and conccitcd to
the highest degree and regard the teach
ings of the missionaries as tending TO over
throw the existing order of government
and society, which they look upon as q
perfect system, and sanctiacd by great an
tiqulty.
Weakened by War.
The war with Japan. which resulted In q
humiliating peace and the loss of ter
ritory, has greatly weakened the imperial
authority, and the dlsba ldment of several
hundred thousand troops, mostly without
receiving the pay due them, has added
very much to the prevailing discomfort
and disorder.
Under such circumstances IL Is not
strange that riots should occur, and that
the widespread mission should be tho
greatest sufferers. These riots have been
mostly confined to pillaging and destruc-
tion of property, the chief exception being
the ku-Cheng massacre, which has justly
Mortified the civilized world.
But we in America should be chary of
our condemnation when We recall tho
many outragcs which have been inflicted
on Chinese subjects in the United States,
and remember that the Wyoming trouble
few years ago was equally cruel and
fatal in its results, and reflected more
severely on our authority
