JONAH AND THE WHALE.
This Old WhaIer shows How Jonah
Could Be swallowed and still


Could Be Swallowed and still
Live.
An old whaler, who is a devout Bible
student, writes to the Sunday Journal
about Dr. Lyman Abbott's sermon on
Jonah and the whale. He is George
A. Lord, Of No. 327 Main street, Spring
field, Mass, and he proceeds to show
just how Jonah might have been swal-
lowed and lived in the whale as fol-
lows, says the New York Journal:
Being an old whaler, have had more
and better opportunities Of studying
the habits and characteristics Of the
whale than those who have never as
sisted in capturing one. In the first
place, the whale is not a fish. The
whale is a warm blooded animal, and
is classified among the mammalia. 1t
suckles It's young, and the sex is spok-
en- Of among Whalers as the bull and
COW whale
1.-The whale referred to in the Book
of Jonah is the sperm whale, which Is
found mostly in the tropics. This Spe-
cies is different from the right whale,
which is found in the colder localities.
''The sperm whale has a large throat
and can swallow large pieces of squid,
oftentimes two feet square, and as
long. 1t has a formidable set Of teeth
with which to cut the squid. The
and therefore has to subsist upon small
fish.
His methods Of feeding are to rush
into a school of small fish with mouth
wide open, taking fish and water to-
gether. He then closes his mouth and
blows the water out through the
blowhole on the top of his head. The
fish are retained in the mouth by the
hairs Of the bones in the roof Of his
mouth. He then swallows the fish.
Another popularity of the sperm
whale in connection with the story is
that, being warm blooded, it must
have oxygen. Now, the sperm whale
has the means Of taking enough air
to allow him to sound, that is to
descend to the depth of $50 fathoms.
and remain there for thirty minutes
at a time. He does this only when
harpooned After the boat is fastened
to the whale and he has sounded all
the men have to do Is to quietly wait

SOFT OR HARD DRINKS.
Either Is Easy to Secure Mt James
town, N. ID.

Special to the Globe
JAMESTOWN N. D., April 20-I
had chat with a prominent James
town man this morning and learned a
number of interesting facts about the
way the North Dakota prohibition law
is enforced, ~ rather not enforced, in
Jamestown. There are about seven
places here where . drink can be pro-
cured, and, although these establish
ments do not proclaim their desire to
furnish intoxicating beverages to the
public by glazing signs, they are run
openly and are not interfered with by
the local police. But, Of course, there
is an understanding between the city
authorities and the ''sightleSS porkers''
which enables the latter to so compla-
Gently smile in the face of the law.
Each owner of a saloon is brought
before the city council every month
and fined $50 for running a resort
where Misunderstanding liquors are
sold" They pay this fine for selling
soft drinks, and the council does not
make diligent or persistent inquiries
as to whether something else than soft
drinks Is sold The saloons are known
as resorts and at these aforesaid
resorts almost anything from a glass
of beer to a creme de menthe can be
purchased. However, 1 would advise any
one who should happen to be here and
feel the want of "a little something"
to try the beer and let the fancy con-
coctions alone. They are not very
strong on creme de menthe in James,
town. There is not a town in North
or South Dakota where a man cannot
get drink as easily as in a Minnesota
town, except, Of course, in places like
Fargo or Grand Forks, where it is only
necessary to walk across a bridge to
be in a prohibition state. Two
thirds of the legislature and a majority
of the popular vote are necessary to
rid the state constitution of the prohi-
bition law, and, although an effort is
made to eliminate this clause at each
meeting of the legislature, success has
not yet attended the attempts.

REMEMBERED DOUGLAS.
Admiring SpOrtsmen Present Him
With Gun.

w. B. Douglas, chairman of the
house committee on game and fish
laws, who has made many friends not
only among the members of the house
and senate, but among the sportsmen
as well. by the manner in which he
has carried through his share of the
game and fish legislation at this ses-
sion. was yesterday made the recipient
of a gift which seemed singularly ap-
propriate. A number of his friends
notified him shortly after adjournment
that they wished to present him with
a shotgun, and asked him to present
himself at the establishment of local
sporting goods man and order it COLI
Structed after his own special fancy.
Mr.. Douglas expressed his gratitude
for the gift and proceeded to give the
specifications for a u gauge Carpenter
gun. Mr.. Douglas is quite an amateur
hunter and angler and his knowledge
on both subjects was recognized in his
appointment on the committee of the
legislature to meet with similar COM
mittees from Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin for the adoption of a uni
form game and fish law.

services in connection with the labor
bureau investigation. The assistant
secretaries of the senate, Messrs. Bar
rows and Countryman, were denied a
dollar day extra where they even ex-
pected two. Senator SweningSen,
chairman of the committee on legisla-
tive expenses, stated that the session
had cost the state $145, 200. If 1t had
not been for the Investigations, which
were demanded of the legislature, 1t
would have cost about $4,000 less, in
stead of $4,000 more than two years
ago, or, at any rate, it would not have
been any more expensive, and the seS-
sion of two years ago was the cheapest
that has been held since Minnesota at

The expenses at this session, including
the investigation of the department
stores, labor bureau, fourth hospital for
the insane, etc. had averaged up about
even with those of the general run.

bassador. The mayor, in part, said:
''Allow me to offer you in behalf of
my fellow townsmen and countrymen,
a hearty and cordial welcome to these
shores. The responsible position you
hold as ambassador is in itself great
honor; but at the time of a mo-
mentuous complexity of relations be-
tween the two countries, your loyalty
to American citizenship and cordial
good will to dear old England emin-
emily fits you for such a high, dis
tinguished position. Your diplomatic
career is well known to US. and the
personality you have exercised at the
various posts you have occupied as
sures US that we shall find in you a
man who will cement closer than ever
the affectionate regard OF the two
countries"

ATLANTA, Ca, April 21.-The exec

counsel of the most important Southern

the problem Of rate maintenance pre-
cipitated by the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Trans
Missouri Traffic association case. Maj.
J. A. Thomas, president Of the Nash
Will, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway,
presided. All the speakers dwelt on
the necessity for maintaining the tariff
and a strong sentiment against cutting
was expressed. The existing rates
were affirmed by vote as far as the
meeting could lawfully affirm them,
and a committee, with w. w. Finley,
vice president of the Southern railway,
as chairman, was appointed to formu-
late rules to meet the situation. 1t is
understood that the committee will
recommend the organization of a sta
,tistical bureau to make and promul-
sate rates, but no agreement for the
maintenance of rates or fines for rate
cutting will be recommended.

WEYLER WEAKENS.
He Allows Tobacco to Be Exported
From Cuba.


WASHINGTON, April 81 - United
States Consul General Lee has advised
the state department from Havana
that the Spanish authorities there have
released one consignment of Cuban to-
bacco for shipment to a New York
firm. This tobacco has been held in
Havana since last May, when Capt.
Gen. Weyler, by a decree, forbade the
further expectation of tobacco from the
island. The American importers have
made many strong protests to the state
department against the workings of the
decree, which it was commonly under
stood had a double purpose, first, to
ensure employment to the cigar MAX
erS of Cuba, who otherwise would be
tempted to join the instruction, and,
second, to destroy the occupation of
the Cuban cigar makers in Key West
and New York, and thus stop their
contributions to the insurrectiOnary
war fund.
Havana, April 21.-The well-known
insurgent leader Julian Zarraga, who
surrendered with five of his followers
to the Spanish authorities in Pinar del
Rio on April 16, has made a request to
be sent to Spain. He has admitted to
Gen. Inclan that he has personally
dynamited trains in the province of
Pinar del Rio and says he surrendered
because he considered the insurgent
cause to be lost. He added that the
independence Of Cuba would mean
chaos and final catastrophe for the
island under complete negro domina-
ton.
Boston, Mass, April 21-William
Law, formerly of Worcester, Mass, but

bans have the best of it all through,
the entire east end of the island being
absolutely controlled by them and most
