Capt. j. c. Hunter, master of the
steamer Umatilla, has had many exper-
fences in his life on the sea, but the
strangest Of all came April 16 as he
was guiding his vessel around the
treacherous rocks of Cape Flattery and
into the straits. The vessel was pro-
ceedlng under easy steam when the out
look forward reported something float
ing that looked like an overturned
schooner. The Umatilla's glasses were
turned on the wreckage, and the eX-
per!enced eye of Capt. Hunter told him
1t was a whale, although 1t was mon
ster.
1t was the work of a moment to de-
eide what to do, and Capt. Hunter
swung the Umatilla around on q bee
line with the sleeping monster and rang
down to the engine room for full speed.
"A moment later the vessel struck the
whale, and for about ten seconds there
was oil poured on the troubled waters.
The passengers felt the lurch of the
craft and rushed on deck in time to
see the, two ends of the half-severed
mammal dangling at the prov of the
steamer. The force of the blow had not
driven the steamer entirely through the
whale, and Capt. Hunter backed away
from it, Then 1t could be seen that
the whale was of the humpback variety,
over fifty feet In length. Several cam

Sentimental Valuation.

Sentiment or affection in connection
with articles of property has no value"
says a Maine man who complains of
what he deems a defect in our laws,
Except In breach of promise suits and
actions to recover for family portraits
and heirlooms, our law sits down in
most pEosaic and matter-of f-fact manner
on sentimental values. 1t Is true that
the rule of damages uses the rather
loose term, article OF affection, in de-
scribing what may be valued at more
than market price but the court prac-
tically limits this to family portraits
or heirlooms priced for their assocta-
tion with the dead. A mans family
horse or his pet dog, for instance, to
lose which causes real distress to the
owner and his family, may be taken
by any wrong doer, who In damages
will suffer only the price the animal
would bring In open market Lewis

W. r. Collins. a taxidermist, guide.
and general hunter after birds, reptiles,
animals, &c, had close call recently.
He had an order for two large alligators
to be delivered alive. He succeeded in
finding a hole in the edge Of the Ever
glades, between West Palm Beach and
Lantana, and soon had one huge fell
low out and safely tied; but just as
he had gotten No out, and was pro-
ceeding to tie him up, the gator gave
him a fetching swipe" with his tail,
throwing Mr.. Collins into his wide-open
Jaws, the left shoulder and arm being
caught. The gator took one bite, his
teeth entering Mr.. Collins's arm in sew
eral places and tearing all the flesh
from the back of his hand; then he
turned over with quick jerk, loosen
ing his hold, and not making any fur
ther show of resistance. Although the
pain was terrible and he was weak
from the loss Of blood, Mr.. Collins Sc
cured both his gators and made his
way home
Mr. Collins. while out hunting for
curiosities last fall for Prof Cory's
museum, nearly night and five miles
from home, was bitten by rattlesnake
on the ankle He went to kill the rep
tile, when he remembered that an old
hunter had told him never to kill a
snake that had bitten him If he would
be certain of getting well. He took
down his gun and went to cording his
leg. He finally reached a house in an
almost exhausted condition, and from
there he was brought to town and med
ical assistance secured. He was en-
tirely well in about ten days, and at
tributes his early recovery to not kill
ing the snake. The Indians never kill
them, and, so far as known, are never
bitten. They certainly have no fear of
them.-Jacksonville Fla) Times Union.

A suit to recover money earned

A suit to recover money earned in
electioneering was dismissed in the
Dane county, Wisconsin, circuit court
a few days ago. 1t is believed to be
the first case of the kind ever brought
into court in the west. The plaintiff
sued the newly elected sheriff of the
county for $500, alleged to be due for
services in getting out men at caucuses
and otherwise aiding the sheriff in Sc
curing his nomination and election.
The judge held the account to be un-
collectible, because founded on a con-
sideration adverse to public policy.

Sectetary Edge has issued circular
letter to many prominent farmers and
agriculturalists in the state, asking
them for information relating to prices
of farm products, live stock and also
the wages paid for farm help. In
making the estimates as to the cost of
farm help, the secretary requests that
the average of the entire county be
taken into consideration, as well as
the average quality of the help usually
employed, so as to equalize the same
and obtain approximately correct fig
ures.

WHOM GAIN MARRIED.
Scriplural Details That viii Interest
Many People.


A correspondent writes to the New
York SIN In a recent issue of
your Sunday edition a party asked
" Whom did Cain marry 2' He mar
ried his sister Her name was Ripha.
This, st Chrysostom says, was the
tradition of the Jews Of his time.
This information may be found in
Duprion's Concordance of the
Holy Bible"
Genesis, v. 4 says Of Adam "And
he begat sons and daughters"
Josephus says that Adam and Eve
had thirty-three sons and thirty-two
daughters. The sons Of our first par
ents married their sisters. The Old
Testament was written as a prepara-
ton for the coming of Christ, and the
history of personages who did not
typify Him or relate to Him are not
given. The holy and innocent AbeI
was figure of Christ who was killed
by his brethren, and Cain and Abel
and their histories are related, while
nothing is said of the other children.
1t may be of interest to your many
readers to know the exact meanings
of the names of the patriarchs who
, lived from Adam to Noe, as follows /:
Adam, * Man in the image Of God"
or "the Reasoning Being" Seth,
Substituted by;" Enos, "Frail
Man )" Caanan, "Lamenting fell y
Malaleel, "The Blessed God :"
Jared. "Shall come down :" Henoch
The Teachers" Methuselah, "His
death shall send :" Lamech, "To
the humble :" Noe, Crest " or
"Consolation." Now, putting these
English meanings of the Hebrew
names together, we have the follow
ing : Man in the image Of God, Sub
stituted by Frail man, Lamenting
Fell. The Blessed God, Shall come
| down. The Teacher. His death
shall send, To the humble, Rest or
Consolation"
Here, in the very names Of the
great fathers of our race before the
flood, we find revelation of the fall
of mapkind, the sorrows of sin, the
incarnation of Christ, how He will
come as a Teacher. His death, His
redemption, given to the humble
ones who will receive His Teachings,
and the rest and consolation of peace
from wars and the blessings of civil
zation.
These are but few Of the wonder
full things the student finds in the
Holy Bible.

A Shameful Record.

Business of all kinds, except the
business of the coflinmakers and the
croakers, is curtailed and depressed
by the fear of financial revusion.
Business curtailment and depression
operate in turn to lessen revenue by
embarrassing the movement ofinternal
and external commerce, thereby cut
ting down the receipts of the Treasury,
both from excise taxation and from
customs. The Silver scare is, there
fore, twofold calamity. When the
decision of the Supreme Court against
the constitutionality of the income tax
was announced it became inevitable
that there should be deficiency in
the revenue. A revival of normal
business conditions might have made
the shortage only temporary but 1t
has become painfully evident that
there can be no permanent business
revival until the currency question
shall have been definitely and rightly
settled.
In this emergency Congress might
have given the country relief by arm
ing the President with power to pro-
tect the gold reserve and retire the
greenbacks by means of the issue OF
low interest bonds and it might have
brought revenue up to the amount
required for the p~yment of authorized
expenditure by a simple tax on beer,
coffee, tea or sugar.
But Congress has proved perfectly
oblivious Of the public interests The
Protectionist wing of the opposition
to the Federal Administration would
only legislate in the interest of Pro.
lection; the Popullst wing would
consent to no revenue bill unless it
should be coupled with free silver
coinage. Between the two, the inter
ests of the people of the United States
have been entirely lost sight of. All
commercial and industrial under
takings stand harassed and halted by
uncertainties.
The falling off in the revenues and
the desperate straits into which both
public and private monetary dealings
have been plunged have not, however,
availed to cut down the volume OF
expenditures. In face of deficit ot
thirty million dollars for the current
fiscal year, appropriations have been
made by thepresent Congress amount
ing to nearly $525, 100000 This
beats the spendthrlft record of the
Billion Dollar Congress, which had
the excuse for its performance of a
full Treasury and redundant revenue.
Never before in the history of the
Republic has there been such delber-
ate disregard of the public welfare,
such wanton waste of the substance
of the people. And the party guilty
of this shameless betrayal confidently
appeals to the voters for an indorse-
ment of its infamy!--PhiIa. Record.

SHAH MET "RED SHIRT"
indian chief Toob His ubnd as That OF a
Fellow Sovereign.

During the visit Of the Shah to
Europe in 1882" lpys an American who
was IN Paris at the time, IAN interest
tng meeting took pace between him
and another ruler, the Indian Red
Shirt who was travelling with Col
Cody's wild West Show. 1t was q curl.
Gus spectacle. tuat Of the Shadow of
God the absolute au,ocrat of millions,
the descendant of Cyrus, and the rough
warrior from the West, IN his way just
as powerful a ruler.
THE shah was present at Buffalo
BINS performance, and when 1t was
over wished to look round the encamp-
meat. Red Shirt was in his tent, and
was presented to the Persian monarch.
To the latter's astorishment he held
out his hand as though to an equal.
The Shah hesltated, hut the interpreter
whispered lie is king and he took
the Indians hand and shook 1t. He
evidently was Immensely amused and
Interested, and 1t is doubtful If any
thing he saw in Europe impressed him
as much as this old, dlgnlhed warrior,
with his feathers and his primitive sur
roundings. He was as much of curt-
oslty to the Shah as the Shah was to
SSulODGdHS.
The many stories OF the Shah's
gaucheres and dirty habits are greatly
exaggerated He bore himself with
dignity and looked exactly what he
was-a man who did not know what IL
meant to have an ungratified desire.
one circumstance, however, was signffi-
cant When leaving the Exhibition the
Shah had to pass through an immense
multitude OF people who had collected
TO see him. Those near enough could
see on his face momentary expression
OF fear. His eyes glanced apprehensive-
ly round and possibly even then some
premonition of his fate was with him
THE Shah when In Europe invariably
wore the same costu ne at every func-
tion-an ordinary black frock coat with
epaulettes and the typical headdress,
with star of priceless Jewels. Another
star was on his heart and the value
of the gems in these two ornaments
must have been enormous. He never
appeared, however, in the same mag
niiicence az did the Indian monarchs
at Queen Victoria's jubilee. who were

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to It's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

4 Wheelmen's Signal Code.

BicyClers, who indulge in club
"runs,' or who travel in small parties
along country roads, where the men,
bers OF the party may at times be
widely separated, will be interested in
an idea which,a bright wheelman has
introduced in the bicycle clubs of
France, and of which the Philadelphia
ReeorH speaks as follows:
In France the whistle is much pre-
ferred to the bell as a means of alarm,
and for club ''runs," or use when more
two cyclists go touring This wheel
man has established perfect code of
signals, in which he uses short and
long sounds on his whistle. Some of
these signals follow:
Ordinary alarm, three short notes /:
Halt, one long-drawn note: -
"Come ahead or ''follow me-" two
long notes: -
"Where are you ?" or "we are here,
three half long notes: -
"Turn to the right" one long drawn
note, one short -
'Turn TO the left one long drawn
note, two short -
'Look out there is danger ahead"
ten sharp notes in quick succession I:
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-06-04

These signals are now pretty well
understood among the clubs, and even
outsiders have begun to use them.
1t might benefit American bicyclists
to take the matter up and introduce a
similar code of signals in this country.
