A PRIZE FISH STORY.
A Ship Runs "AgrOund" Upon Several
Miles of POrpOiscs.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Capt. j. G. Baker, of the four-masted
steel ship Kenilworth, is a man of I'M
doubted veracity, and Is both sober in
his judgment and his habits. This state
ment is due the bluff skipper, for he
brings to port with him a fish story Ct
heroic proportions, such a one as VIII
make the ordinary sea serpent yarn seem
quite trivial in comparison.
The Kenilworth dropped anchor off Sta
pleton at o'clock yesterday morning, ar
ter run of ninety days and twelve
hours from Honolulu, having covered
nearly sixteen thousand miles, She
brought 3,99S tons of sugar, the first cargo
to make like trip to this port in nearly
twenty years. sL,. t...
The ship was about $50 miles east of
Cape Henlopeu at o'clock on Monday ar
ternoon. Ii was then that a school of
whales was sighted about mile away on
the starboard quarter Capt. Baker de-
clares there were twenty of them, of vary
ing sizes. Some of them were splashing
the water and playing a sort of deep sea
leap frog. Others were doing a series CT
giant acrobatics which would make the
fortune OF any summer resort. Capt.
Baker is usually an unimpresslonable man,
but as he watched the demonstration he
exclaimed, Great GoshHia
But this wasn't the only surprise he
was to meet. At night the good ship
sailed into a strange looking sea. 1t was
cut up into small hummocks and when
the Kenilworth trembled and shook and
jolted the bo'sn said; We're gone
ashore" But he was wrong. Capt. Bar
ker's keen eye at once discovered that the
ship had sailed into a great area of por-
poses.
PROPOSES porpoises as far as the eye
could reach-papa porpoises, mamma por-
poses, and all the little porpoises, who
were blowing" themselves and making
merry. 1t seemed as though the ship was
riding on their backs Then the moon
came up, and Capt. Barker said he never
before saw such sight in his life. The
backs of the fsh showed before him in
glistening, spray-dashed acres. 1T
seemed, said he, "as thong we had run
aground on porpoises.
A stiff breeze sprang up just before
morning, and the Kenilworth drew away
from the fish.
But still there was more in store for
Capt. Barker. He has sailed the sea for
many years, but he solemly avows that
he never saw such whale as was sighted
off Barnegat on Tuesday afternoon. 1t
was just to leeward, and lashing the sea
and Spouting in an aWeSome manner. 1t
was Of the sperm species, and the captain
says that at a conservative estimate it
must have been at least 100 feet long. The
Kenilworth anchored off the Highlands
late Tuesday night. She lay there all day
Wednesday, and Capt. Baker brought her
up the bay yesterday morning.
Capt. Baker told his story yesterday in
| the office of D. B. Dearborn. No. % Beaver
street. Mr.. Dearborn is the agent for Ar
thur Sewell of Bath, Me, owner of the
British craft and was built in 1887 at
Port Glasgow. Scotland. She was burned
In San Francisco few years later and
then Mr.. Sewell bought and rebuilt her.

THE NEw MAN.
\ HumOrist Gave a Practical Illus
tration in Forest Park.

tration i'm Forest Park.
From the St. Louis Republic.
\ man who had a vein OF humor run
ming through his soul afforded much
amusement for the large crowd OF pleas
urc seekers at Forest park Sunday after
noon.
You know the advanced woman Is
usurplng many prerogatives that were
supposed TO belong to the sterner sex up to
a few years ago. Not only that. but the
advanced woman of the extreme type is
even initiating the dress OF men, and If
the matter is carried much farther the
time Will soon come when a woman, so
far as her apparel is concerned, cannot
be distinguished from man by the naked
eye. So If the advanced woman intends
10 rule the rOost' the poor, discOnsOlate
man will probably be driven to the ex-
trem!ty of wearing what Is now woman's
apparel.
This was the idea evidently meant to be
conveyed in the joke played by the humor-
GUS man at Forest park Sunday. He was
seated wOman-fashiOn on a side-saddle
and was riding a neryy little dock-tailed
bay horse. He wore a black SLOUGH hat,
light gray frock coat, but his lower limbs
were enveloped in the dark-green skirt
of a woman's riding habit This hum
orous man came charging into the park
and galloped by the Blair monument.

array of handsome equipages rolling
along the roadway. His skirt tapped in
the breeze and thereby mis- pantaloons
We're often displayed. Persons craned
their necks on every hand as he rode by.
Wherever he rode there were heard peals
of laughter. Women. young and old,
seemed to enjoy the joke as well as did
the men.
The joke was a strong intimation that
the day might come when 1t would be
awfully immodest for a man to ride
a-straddle on horseback, especially if
some horrid woman was around to gaze
at him.
As the humorous man rode by beau
tiful young lady who was chatting with
a male admirer In an arcadian spot the
latter was overheard saying to her:
We'll, that man may be giving us an
illustration of what the poor men will
some day be compelled to do by the ad-
vanced woman, and then there will not be
so much fun in it. The day may come
when the man will buy whalebone, SILICA
and buckram for his own and will learn
to rock the cradle and Groom a song of
byo-land."

and a manly man. replied the sepsible
young lady.
