but that is in strict accord with the
eternal fitness Of things.
/ The whale at Henderson Bay was
again harpooned Thursday, and he
now has three irons" in him, with
ropes attached, and it is said to be
the delight of visitors to hitch ON"
to these lines and he towed about the
bay. 1t is probable that the stay OF
the marine monster will be prolonged,
notwithstanding his severe treatment,
: on account OF the sbrimps which
abound in these waters, of which the
whale species are exceedingly fond.
1t must be admitted that it is in ex-
ecrable taste for those Republican
nominees who have secured a chance
OF reelection to State office to decor
ate the windows of the State Build
ing" for the rent of which the people
pay $4,000 per annum, with their
names done in soap" by an advance
agent of Mckinley. 1t was still worse
simply an Ouirage-to place these
personal reminders in the elevator
shaft, which was at least to be regard
ed as neutral ground in political COM
bat, and they were speedily removed
when they came to the attention Of
the owner of the building.
On next Wednesday evening, the
w. c. T. U. will give an Art Enter

A collection Of Art Gems" is in the
hands of a committee whose taste has
never been questioned and rare op-
portunity will be given to view some
worthy scenes which have never been
displayed in our city. A small admis-
sion fee of five cents is all that will be
required to admit one to the gallery.
Everybody invited. "The Horse
Fair "The Village Friar," "Quite
Exhausted" "All Ears" and a Bust
of Great Commentator" are among
the rare things exhibited.
The big-headed Autograph of Nc
Kinley in an uptown show-window
is a monstrosity, as are all colossal
caricatures of the human figure. The
brain which conceived the idea that
immensely of size would even up the
vacuum crannies in the brain of the
Republican tin-god, would doubtless
imagine, if set to the task, that deity
personified might be represented by
the form OF man enlarged to
prodigious proportions. Such is the
conception entertained by some minds
of the highest accord of honor. To
most people, however, such distortions
of the human form divine" are quite
: as repulsive as sight of the double.
