PLAYING A WHALE.
A Seven-HOurs' Struggle, Ending
With the Escape of the Big Fish.

A Seven-Hours' Struggle, Ending
With the Escape of the Big Fish.
About $50 a. M, when eight miles
southwest of the South lighthouse,
Capt. Ed Dodge sighted a whale, and
in a few moments the Ocean View was
close enough TO the great mammal to
enable her commander to throw the
ly, Embedding it in the whales back,
probably twelve times. Fifty fathoms
of five-eighths-inch rope, with a barrel
at its end, was attached to .the barb
shaped missile, and almost instantly
after the whale had been struck he
went scurrying through the water at
a terrific rate, the barrel following,
and leaving i'll it's pathway a crest of
foam beautiful and wonderful to see.
Presently the whale dived deep in
the water, but there remained in plain
sight the tell-tale barrel to mark his
whereabouts. Soon Capt. Dodge add
ed fifty fathoms more of rope and al
lowed the big fellow to race around
with it until it was thought to be
sufficiently exhausted to warrant tax
ing in the barrel and winding the rope
a turn or two on a cleat of the vessel.
This was done about 100 p. H., and
from that time on to 4:3O p. m. there
was much excitement and fun enough
on board the Ocean View to last the
young women from Springfield and
Enfield for years to come. Sometimes
the whale ran straight ahead, increas-
ing the speed of the vessel percepti-
bly,; then he would run in a circle.
Sometimes he would make a rush
across the bow of the vessel; and
twice he dived under it. After he had
performed the latter interesting trick
nee Mr.. Taylor suggested to the
young women hat the next time he
did it he would knock the vessel into
kindling wood with his tail. But the
women had faith In Capt. Dodge's
skill and judgment, and they were not
scared a bit.
For seven hours the Ocean View fol-
lowed the monster, in one direction
and another, until finally she was
twenty miles at sea-. For more than
three hours Capt. Dodge or his engin-
eer had hold OF the rope, gradually
rawing the whale toward the vessel,
in order that it might be killed by an
other thrust of the harpoon; but at
4:30 p. m. the rope broke where it en-
circled the ring of the Embedded mis-
sile. And low the whale is roaming
the great deep, carrying with him the
spear as a reminder of the seven
hours battle, while the men who vain
ly tried to haul him in have hands
sore enough to keep them thinking of
the whale for some time to come.
Capt. Dodge says the next time he
goes whaling he is going to have a
crew Of Massachusetts and Connect
cut girls, for they know how to stand
at the helm, and all that, in an
emergency, and don't "scare" when
the monsters tail is Uncomfortably
close to the ship.
1t was Capt. Dodse's intention to
tow the whale into Block Island har-
Dor and put him on exhibition, as it
would have been quite a curiosity, not
one having been brought in here in
the memory of the present generation,
The whale was some thirty feet long

The Way to Draw Gold From
Europe.

The accumulation of gold in the
European banks is phenominally
large, according to the treasury ex-
perts at Washington. On the first
week of April the Bank of England
had $1S3,6S1, 273 in coin and bullion,
and the Bank Of France in the same
week carried $4O6, 347 Ssh in gold
alone. The Imperial Bank of Germany
carried $251, S07 $40 in coin and bull
lion, the AustrO-Hungarian Bank $780,
594,501 in gold, and the Bank of Rus
STA $31O,427, 400 in gold. 1t is the opin-
ion of the well known banker, Mr..
Charles G. Jackson of Boston, that
this excess of foreign capital will drift
to the United States for profitable in
vestment. Such a golden current
would solve all doubts about u gold
reserve, and would, in Mr.. Jackson's
opinion, have a striking effect upon
| prices in the United States. How i'm
portaut it is to business, then, that no
| foolish fanfaronade about silver should
control the action of our government
in any way and again produce Euro
pean distrust as to it's ability OF dis
position to pay all demands upon it in
gold.-BostOn Transcript.

Touching Story Related of the Boot
blacks of Glasgow.
A few weeks ago a gentleman, 60

CITY of Glasgow, Scotland, noticed a
pale-faced little boOtblack waiting for
hire. Touched with the delicate look
of the child, he thought he would give
hin the backing of his boots to do.
Accordingly, he gave the little fellow
the signal. The boy at once crept
lamely toward the gentleman. and, as
he pulled himself along, was niInbly
supplanted by another little boot

this act of brotherly kindness that h

To Keen Bread Fresh.

In Swiss and German farm hOusS3,
where the baking takes place once a
fortnight, or certainly at fairly long
intervals, such a thing as Inpleasantly
stale bread is almost unknown. 1t is
put away in a peculiar manner, which
tends to preserve it's freshness.
Sprinkle flour freely into an empty
flour sack, and into this pack the
loaves. being careful to have the top
crusts of two loaves touching. Where
they have to lie bottom to bottom,
sprinkle flour between them. Tie up
the sack and hang it up in an airy
place, not against a wall, but so that
it can swing. The day before the loaf
is wanted take it out, brush off the
flour and stand it in the cellar over
night. In this way bread remains edi-
BILE three or four weeks.

Obedience Is Worth More Than Ge-

This lesson of law and obedience,
then, is n that needs to combine
with love in the very first instruction

1t is asserted that since the laborers

RESULT OF A ROW.
FIVE NEGROES BLOWN UP BY DY.
MANTLE.
White and Black Come Together in
Texas, and the Consequences Are
Fearful to Contemplate.

WACO, Texas, July 20-At Mart, a
small borough twenty miles from here
five negroes were instantly killed this
morning and one seriously injured, as
the result of a dispute which began
several months ago when Abe Phillips,
negro, and Phil Arnold, white, both
farmers, were killed. Since then the
feeling between the friends of both
men has been very bitter. and the ne
groes have frequently been threatened
with destruction.
AIT 2 O'clock this morning, the entire
town was awakened by a loud report.
Investigation showed that the house
occupied by Mrs. Phillips, widow of
the negro killed by Arnold, was in
flames. The house had been blown up
with a stick of dynamite thrown into
it. and fire finished the work.
OF the six negroes in the honse at
the time, five were killed by the ex-
plosion or burned to death. One per-
son. who escaped, is so badly injured
that he will die. Officers have been
sent to Mart to investigate.

should be planted in the heart of every
American citizen"

WAS NOT THE WIDOW.
MRS. ROMAN is DISCHARGED FROM
CUSTODY.
sInft Crump, Romans Hired Man,
Was the Man Who Did the
Bloody Work.
1snecia1 to The HeraldA


BOISE, Ida, July 2O.-The widow of
Thomas Roman had a hearing today
ait Caldwell on the charge of having
murdered her husband. 1t resulted in
her being discharged, while Matt
Crump, Romans Tired man, was
placed under arrest.
Roman was murdered at his home in
lower Boise May II, and there has
been much mystery about it. AT first
it was supposed a tramp had COM
mitted the crime. Suspicion finally
turned towards Mrs. Roman and Matt
Crump.
Finally, Crump was arrested at the
instigation of a detective named FL
bridge He then made a sworn state
ment, charging Mrs. Roman with muir
der, declaring that he saw her strike
him with an ak just as he (Crump)
returned from a trip to town. Crump
was discharged at the time for lack
of evidence, but was held on heavy
bail to appear as a witness when
wanted. He has since been in Jail.
The authorities finally arrested Mrs.
Roman and her hearing occurred to-
day.
Crump repudiated his statement,
claiming it was given under duress.
and testified that he was not at Ro-
mans place on the night of the muir
der. The prosecution on this showing
moved that Mrs. Roman be discharged
and that Crump be held.
