The Sad Fate of Greedy shark.

Special agents of the United States
treasury travel in many states and see
many strange things They hear strange
stories too In the big custom house
building every day from 8 o'clock until
4 there sits man who is very treas
ure mine of anecdotes. He is SO modest,
though, that he won't allow his name
to be used in connection with this par
ticular story.
1T was off Cedar Keys, said he II
had been shark fishing and was talking
of sharks to an old time sponge fisher
when he told me that he had found,
some 90 miles off the keys, the largest
shark it had ever been his fortune to
see, floating belly upward, starved to
death Why, the shark was as thin as
a poker, said the sponge fisher, and |
determined to find out what allied him.
| pulled him aboard and cut him open.
There, in his stomach, open end toward
the head, was half of barrel which
had contained mess pork. The half bar
rel had evidently been thrown over
board from some vessel and the shark
had gobbled it up as it hit the water,
without looking TO see what it was. II
was too bad that he swallowed it butt
end first, for whatever he ate after that
went into the barrel and did the shark
no good. So he just starved. New

The Russian Police.

A tyrannical and universal secret
surveillance blights all Russian ma
tional life. The clergy preach but little,
the great majority never attempting
TO deliver sermon, chiefly because an
unguarded or misunderstood word may
be so reported as TO lead to severe pen
alties All public meetings are prohib-
tied, and so ridiculous is the extreme to
which the supeTfine bureaucracy pushes
its operations that nobody is at liberty
to give even a dinner party without the
permit of the everlasting politsi.
The police officer is the god of Russia
If permission is granted for party, a
detective must be admitted. Public
lectures are all but unknown, for the
law sternly forbids them. Seeing that
education is rapidly spreading, and that
by the efforts of the authorities in this
land of endless paradoxes, it is manifest
that the elements of some fearful social
cataclysm are being abundantly and
expeditiously provided The passport
system is an unspeakable abomination,
for which there is not the slightest jus.

MRS. BEECHER

The death of Mrs. Beecher recalls many
and varied memories to people who have
passed middle age. The Beecher family was
one of the most remarkable of the fifties
and sixties. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry
Ward Beecher, Lyman Beechcr and Charles
Beecher were the most notable members of
this distinguished family, but the wife OF
the great preacher, who has just died, ex-
acly ten years after the death of her huS-
band, was a woman OF great character and
considerable fame, aside from her relation
to him. She was Miss Eunice Bullard,
daughter OF an Englishman, and married
Henry Ward Beecher when she was twenty
four, the courtship having lasted seven
years.
The marriage, however, was somewhat
hurried one, in accordance with Mr.
Beecher's impulsive and eager nature. He
was desirous that she should be present as
his wife at his ordination, and the interval
between the naming of the day and the
marriage ceremony was just four DAYS
The wedding took place at the ONE OF DIR.
Bullard, and was postponed an hour be-
cause the bride declared she would not be
married unless the sun shone. So they
waited till thunder storm cleared away,
and radiant sunshine greeted the young
couple. Immediately after the ceremony
they went to Lawrenceburg, Ind, then

agement of the rough but warni-hearted
frontiersmen, and though their experiences
were some what exciting, their life in
Indiana had many attractive features.
Mrs. Beecher afterward published sketches
OF this time, and when her husband was
pastor OF Plymouth Church she often wrote
articles on domestic subjects for various
periodicals, in addition to her work as
minister's wife. She took the people of
Plymouth Church into her heart, and al
though, after the death of her husband, her
children would gladly have taken her to
live with them, she remained in Brooklyn so
that the people OF Plymouth Church might
meet her at any time. Only four of her
ten children are now living. Mrs. Samuel

THE LADY OF
~ The WHITE HOUSE

The fact that Mrs. Mckinley is an in
valid causes much questioning az to whom
she will select to fill her place.
Mrs Mckinley has said repeatedly to in
innate friends in, Canton that she and she
alone wouldIbe mistress OF the Ex ecutive
Mansion.
Il hear" she Said to one lady of social
prominence, ''that the newspapers say
that Mrs. Hobarter Mrs Hanna will be the
real nistresssof che White House. But un-
derstand shall fill that place.
Mrs Mckinley has never been in the strict
sense of the word society woman. The
nature of the painful disease which has
for so many years held her prisoner has in
itself been sufficient reason to preclude
life OF gayety.
While her husband was governor of Ohio,
Mrs. McKiniey's great sufferings made
her lead the most quiet and secluded Of
lives. It was not until Mr.. Mckinley
was nominated for President that his wife
seemed TO take any great interest in social
gatherings OF any description.
night or two after the nomination an
Informal reception was held at the McKin-
ley house in Canton, when to the utter
amazement of all her old friends and neigh
bors, Mrs. Mckinley. robed in her white
satin bridal gown which she had caused to
be slightly remodeled for the occasion,
was carefully and tenderly led out upon the
floor and actually went through the mazes
OF the I.ancers-a thing she had not done
for years. IL seemed as ( the great honor
which had been besto wed upon her itlolized
husband had acted as a stimulant, and.
though everyone prophesied that so violent
an exertion would kill her, no extremely
evil effects followed.
Excitement has been known to cure many
disease. Perhaps Mrs. McKinley's will
power, coupled with the exciting life at
the Executive Mansion, may work conf
plete cure For a time at least she will
fiji her duties as hostess, and TO prepare
for the strain of standing to receive her
guests, a chair has been devised. This
chair has legs OF extra length, which ele-
Yates Mrs. Mckinley.
Here she will sit and receive the smiles
and bows of the admiring public. For
the patient occupant will lie tine recipient
OF as much sympathy and lovea the former
mistress OF the White House Mrs. Cleve-
land superb health commanded the admira-
ton OF all, and even she was put to a
severe physical strain.
Should it finally be necessary for Mrs.
Mckinley TO retire from the life of gayety
the duties viii fall upon somebody else,
Mrs. McKinley's only sister, Mrs. James
Barber ofCanton, or observation-disclosures
