A shark as a Pet.
From the Tacoma Ledger.


C. w. Fife has a pet 1t is a shark. be-
tween six and seven feet long, which
weighs about $50 pounds. Mr.. Fife was
trolling in the bay Tuesday afternoon,
He had rowed within a short distance of
the Northern Pacific wharves when he
saw the monster swimming on top of the
water and coming directly toward the
boat. He had spear lying in the bot
tom of the boat which he picked up and
as the FISH came within reach made a
lunge at it, striking it ''amidships," to
use the nautical term that he applied in
telling of the fracas. The shark made a
bold dash for freedom, but the gleeful
fisherman began pulling in the line at
tached to the spear, and after some little
trouble succeeded in tying a rope around
the tail of the fish. Then began the task
of towing it to the boathouse.
The shark was attached to the stern
of the boat and for time tried to take
the tow in the opposite direction, and Mr..
Fife began thinking he would have to
yell for a steam tug. Finally the fish gave
up its idea of going around Browns point
and shortly afterward Mr.. Fife had the
satisfaction of tying it up at Algers boat
house, where it now is. He went down
to the boathouse and fed it yesterday.
1t eats heartily and appears to be making
the best of its confinement.

1--WE have resolved to the best of our
ability to do something to bring over
the middle or artisan classes to God.
We do not intend to enter into any bat
tie or strife with the Salvation Army
We want no fight, neither ritual nor
verbal"
Don't believe it, shouted a man in
the audience.
THAT is a brother" replied Mr..
Booth, who continued his address by
saying: 1--WE want to have a mission to
reach the masses. We have resolved
that the conservation that we shall
make shall be lasting
Mr. Booth then spoke of the consecra-
tion of the heart and mind in religion,
and closed by saying: Il want to assure
Mrs. Booth and those officers who have

Mrs. Booth spoke briefly, and was
cheered enthusiastically. She made no

WHITES GOT THE WORST OF IT
Tainted a Colored Man, and Three of
Them Were Stabbed.


Them Were Stabbed.
PHILADELPHIA, March S.-During
a fight late last night at Twenty third
and Lombard streets George Queen,
colored, aged 20 years, stabbed and
killed John O'Brien, fatally cut Joseph
Sweeney and quite seriously wounded
Thomas Reaney and Charles Fisher.
All Queens victims were white men.
The white men, from what can be
learned of the circumstances which led
up to the fight, were in a large measure
to blame for the trouble. Earlier in
the evening they had taunted Queen
as he passed them on the street, and a
little later they became involved in a
quarrel with another colored man and
chased him for some distance to beat
him.
After his first encounter with the
whites Queen went home, armed himself
with a large butcher knife and re-
turned to the street. An eyewitness
says that the white men assaulted
Queen, and that he used the knife
against a crowd of six assailants.
Queen made no attempt to escape
after the fight and is now in Jail await
ing the action of the Coroner. In his
ante-mortem statement Sweeney says
that he had nothing to do with the fight,
but was merely an onlooker Fisher
made a similar statement

KENTUCKY POLITICS.
Friends of Blackburn Confident He
VIII be Elected Senator.

VIII De GlccI6u SENATOR
FRANKFORT (Ky.), March S.-Al-
though this was Sunday, the politicians
have been busy all day trying to solve
the Senatorial puzzle. The friends of
Blackburn seem to be very confident
that he will be elected. They say they
are going to give the three sound
money men chance to vote for Black
burn tomorrow.
Hon. Thomas H. Petit, the late Pop
ulist candidate for Governor, arrived
in this city tonight. 1t is said that he
came here in the interest of Senator
Blackburn. He was closeted with the
Populist members for long time to-
night. and there was much specula
ton as TO what would be the outcome
of the conference.
There is some talk tonight that if a
sound-money Democrat has to be cleo
ted, some of the Republicans prefer
Congressman McCreary to Mr.. Carlisle
A good many of the members say that
a Senator will be elected tomorrow, but
they refuse to say who it will be.
The Kaufman-Dunlap contest case
will be voted on tomorrow at 11:30
o'clock. 1t seems to be the opinion of
Democrats and Republicans alike that
Kaufman will be unseated. The Senate
is ready to retaliate by unseating a Re
publican Senator.

Mr.. AND MRS. BOOTH.
The Deposed Salvation Army Leaders
Address Large Audiences.

NEW YORK, March S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Ballington Booth addressed an inn
mense audience at Cooper Union to-
night. 1t was one of the largest gath
erings ever held in the historic build
ing. A few minutes after the doors were
opened there was not an unoccupeid
seat in the hall, and it is estimated that
5000 men, women and children were
turned away
The stage was decorated with the
national flag and pictures of Washing
ton. A large crayon portrait of Wash
ington occupied the center of the stage.
One of the favorite hymns sung while
the crowd was waiting for Mr.. and
Mrs. Booth to appear was that contain
ing the lines We Never, Never will
Give In; No We Won't, No. We Won't .
AT precisely O'Clock Mr. and Mrs.
Booth appeared on the stage and the
immense audience fairly went wild
with enthusiasm. Hats, handkerchiefs.
flags. ETC., waved, and the crowd cheered
and shouted for fully fifteen minutes
without ceasing. During this time Mr..
Booth stood with bowed head. while
Mrs. Booth knelt in prayer. Some one
shouted Three cheers for our Ameri-
can commander" The cheers were
given, and for an interval of ten mimi
tes the crowd went fairly wild with
enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer was
given for Mr.. and Mrs. Booth.
Major Peter Glen then addressed the
audience as follows: This is not a
meeting where we have come together
to talk about that which seems upper
most in everyone's mind. We are here
to have purely spiritual meeting
Mr.. Booth then lead in prayer, and at
its conclusion spoke as follows: Mrs.
Booth and myself have not come to this
gathering for the purpose of alluding to
the recent sad events in our experience.
1t is true that after deliberate thought
we have decided to inaugurate a new
movement. (Cheers.) Could it have
been avoided it would not have been
thought Of. Mrs. Booth and I received
assurances from the people of the
United States. fighting in behalf of
Jesus Christ. that we had done a work
for which they were grateful, and would
not quietly submit that we should re-
tire to private life and relinuuish a
field which is the largest of any on the
globe; where there is not only work for
one Salvation Army, but for hundred.

His Money.
Three Negroes Under Arrest on Sus-

the Crime.

HEMPSTEAD IN. ", March S.-Ste-
most prominent men on Long Island
Sound, was murdered in a most brutal
manner at about IL o'clock last night
as he was returning from his place of
business to his home on Fulton street
Mr.. Powell was in the habit of carry
ing large sums of money on his person.
1t it supposed that his murderer or
murderers learned of this far+ and
awaited an opportunity to waylay him.
The murder occurred in front of Mr..
Pcwells home. Directly opposite the
gate an electric light was brightly shin
ing
His assailants are supposed to have
been hiding behind the electric-light
pole, and as Mr.. Powell passed he was
struck over the right eye, the blow cut
ting long cash. There is also a cut
ON the left wrist. but this wound was
probably obtained while endeavoring to
defend his face.
This blow evidently knocked Mr..
Powell senseless, and his assailants
then struck him terrific blows on the
back of his head which crushed in the
skull. He was found at 11:15 O'Clock by
a neighbor, who carried him into the
house and then summoned medical aid.
Mr.. Powell died few minutes later,
however, without regaining conscious
ness.
Three negroes were arrested to-day
on suspicion of being implicated in the
murder. They are Van Renssler Simp-
son, John A. Wayne and Arthur May
hew. They were held to await the ac-
ton of the Coroner's jury Several
other men, both white and colored, are
under suspicion.
The murderers secured about $50 in
change, overlooking a larger sum of
money which was on the body.
