STORY OF A MODERN JONAH.
DR. Harsha Obtained it From a French
man.

man.
(New York Sum-
The Rev William Justin Harsha. u. D.,
pastor Of the Second Collegiate Reformed
church, in Harlem, preached sermon
on Moody on Sunday night In the
course of his sermon he said:
Certain Of our daily papers are trou-
bled because Mr.. Moody believes in the
story Of Jonah. Yet / may call your
attention to the Investigations Of NJ.
Comtbet, the eminent French scientist,
and Of the Prince OF Monaco They have
shown that the sperm whale is able to
swallow cephalopods much larger and
much heavier than a man. 1t is also
upon record that in February, 1891, q Ger
tain james BARLEY was swallowed by a
whale, and, after a day and a night his
companions in the ship Star Of the East
cut him out and found him unconscious
but alive. He is living to-day"
4 Sun reporter asked DR. Harsha yes
terday for his, authority for the story of
james BARLEY. DIR. Harsha said he
found it in the Literary Digest, in q
translation of an article OF NJ. Courbet's
in the Paris Cosmos of March 9TH NJ.
Courbet says he found the story in an
ton:
I'm 1891 the whaIer Star Of the East
pursued a superb whale, observed at
some distance from the ship The huge
creature was hdlToontd and wounded
to death. While it was writing in its
last agonics one of the whale boats was
struck by its tail and shattered to pieces.
The sailors who were in it were thrown
out into the water All but two were
saved by the boats. The body OF the
one was recovered, but the other man,
named James BARLEY, could not be
found
when the monster had ceased to move
and its death was quite certain it was
hoisted alongside the ship, and the work
OF cutting it up began. 4 day and night
were devoted to this task When the
stomach was opened, what-was the sur
prise Of the whalemen to find their host
comrade. He was unconscious, but alive.
They had much trouble in reviving him.
For several days he was delirous, and
it was not until three weeks had elapsed
that he was able 70 narrate his impress
sions. He said he remembered very well
when the whale threw him into the air.
Then he said he was swallowed and
found himself enclosed i'm a firm. slip
perry channel whose constructions forced
him continually downward by feeling
about, he realized that he had been swal-
lowed by the whale, and was in it's stom-
ach. He had much difficulty in breath
ing, and had feeling Of insufferable
heat. 1t was not long before he lost CON
sciousness."
The article went ON to say that Bart
ley had to be treated in hospital, and
that his skin was found to have been
permanently tanned.
M. Courbet's article also had an ac-
count OF voyage of the Prince of Mo-
naco on which he captured sperm whale
with cephalopod in it's stomach over
33i feet long, and weighing over $50
pounds.
NJ. Courbet has escaped the biographical
dictionaries thus far.

clause of the constitution does mot affect
the right of the State to prohibit the trans
portation outside Of it's limits of game
killed in the State The decision of the
Supreme Court of Kansas is therefore
overturned. and, by the judgment of the
Supreme Court OF the United States, it
is illegal for any one to carry from the
State Of North Carolina quail killed in
this State
Justice White held that the ownership
Of wild animals, so far as they are capable
Of ownership, is in the State not as
proprietor, but in its sovereign capacity
as the representative and for the benefit
Of its people in common. The justice also
holds that a farmer is only transient
owner of the game on his farm. He can
prohibit parties from hunting and killing
his game, but he cannot send game out Of
the State as long as this law is on thu
books. A person is violating the law
when he buys a bird at a Charlotte res
taurant and takes it beyond the State
limits. VIM. p. Clyde, who annually
hunts ut Harrisburg, violates the law
every time he ships a bird home to his
friends in New York 1t is peculiar law
to be sure, but the Supreme Court holds
that it is a good one. 1t was passed to
protect the game Of this State, and if
enforced it will serve its purpose.-Char-

ROOSEVELT AND THE FIGHT
Frs.

Theodore Roosevelt recently witnessed
the Maher- Choynski pugilistic encounter
in New York, and here is his opinion of it:
las for it being a brutal exhibition,
when | was in Harvard and spared for
the championship, l suffered heavier
punishment than any man there did, and
/ have been knocked out at polo twice
for ten times longer period than Choyn-
ski was knocked out.
Il don't care very much for profess
sional sport of any kind, but / thorough
ly believe in boxing, exactly as | believe
in football and other rough, manly
games, and | think it the greatest mis-
take that decent people should ever allow
the hard-hitting, game qualities which
make man a man to be monopolized by
the men who don't believe in decency.
Wesley said when reproached with
choosing hymn tones that had a swing to
them, that he didn't believe in allowing
the devil to have all the good music, and
| don't believe in allowing the devil to
have a monopoly of the qualities which
make man succeed in a rough and tum-
BILE
II was at the boxing match last night
with Deputy Chief Cortright especially to
see If the law was violated. One bout
had promptly stopped when it seemed to
he verging on brutality, andNthroughout
the conduct Of the Deputy Chief met my
heartiest approval.
AS | said, | don't care for professional
sport at all personally, whether it be box
ing or horse racing, but the boxing match
last night was conducted with entire re-
gard to the requirements Of the law, and
there was no more cause for interfering
with it than for interfering with the rae
ing at Morris Park.
I'm closing / wish again to say that /
have the heartiest sympathy with any
form of rough, manly, athletic sport, car
ried on purely for the sports sake, from
boxing to football and riding"

GOOD TIMES A DREAM.
Ante-Election Promises Broken
Yonkers Carpet Manufacturers.
New York Journal-1Sth.)


New York Journal-1Sth)
Hardly had the employees Of the A.
Smith a. Sons Carpet Company, Of Yon-
kers, n Y, had a chance to rejoice over
the restoration Of the 10 per cent reduc-
ton, which was made in their wages
previous to election, than they are con-
fronted by the statement that the mills
would close down, to renew work posi-
bly, but not positively, by January LIST.
This is a severe blow to the working
people, who were given to understand
that by the restoration Of that reduction
they were to taste the sweets of the
so-caled good market" brought about
by the election OF Mckinley and Hobart
The announcement was made in what is
known as the tapestry mills" situation
on Palisade avenue, yesterday, and it
was Immediately circulated throughout
the entire city, creating much gossip and
condemnation This mill employs about
$500 hands, who are paid on an average
Of $1.25 n day.
A large number of these employees are
men with families, relying upon the mills
as their only support Beginning Friday
evening, when the hands are paid OFF,
one NAN VIII ne AuIOWu out u HiilplDy~
ment, and by Wednesday night of next
week the looms will have ceased to ope-
rate Not only does this apply to the
tapestry mills, but it was learned on
good authority that all the Smith fac
tories in Yonkers win cease operations
within two weeks, thus leaving no less
than 1000 people without any source of
revenue Harold Brown, treasurer Of the
company. refuses to be interviewed on the
matter, but it is generally known that
the company has kept its looms at work
with practically no market for its goods
The Smith carpet is sold extensively in
the West, where the banks refuse to
make loans, even to the most reliable,
until business has revived in that sec
ton. The Smith Carpet Company is east
ly the largest carpet manufacturing con-
Germ in the world. 1t turns out between
10000 and $4,000 yards of carpet a day,
and has a payroll amounting to nearly
100000 n week. The weavers receive
between $120 and $1.40, which is the
highest pay OF any of the laboring class

OUR STATE BIRD LAW
1t IL Peculiar Statute But is Consti-
tuti0nal
70. ". TiIlett. ]


The North Carolina bird law is 4 pc
culiar, but a constitutional, one. The
Supreme Court (of the United States
has settled the latter point by a vote of
5 to 4, the same vote by which it declared
the income tax law unconstitutional. The
decision was rendered by Justice White.
and it is worth while to state that his
decision is one Of the most lengthy on
record in recent days. The learned Judge
wrote almost book about it, beginning
away back in Caesars time and coming
down to this enlightened age. The ques-
ton was on that clause of the law which
prohibits the expectation of cartridges
beyond the bounds of North Carolina
Section 2S35 OF The Code is as follows:
No person shall export or transport
from the State any quail or cartridges,
whether dead or alive, and any person
violating this section shall be guilty Of n
misdemeanor and fined not exceeding $50
and imprisoned not more than thirty days
for each offense"
This statute has been generally consid-
cred by the legal profession as unconsti-
tutional, and in the American and Eng
Iish Encyclopedias Of Law, volume VIII,
page ], 029, it is said: "A statute prohib-
ting the transportation from one State
TO another OF game lawfully killed is
in conflict with the Federal constitution.
A law which prohibits the killing of
game at certain seasons of the year is
valid. but il 1t allows game to be killed
and thereby become a subject Of traffic
and commerce, and then directly prohibits
its transportation into another State, it
is unconstitutional and invalid"
The Supreme Court, however, does not
entertain this view, and has rendered q
decision reversing it. 1t was in the case
Of Greer against the State of Connec-
ticut, appealed to the Supreme Court.
The tribunal, by the vote already stated,
declared that the Interstate Commerce
