The Taylor and the Epps followers had
q great day of IL. Their thrOats Will be
sore for e week Mayor Taylor went
home 10 breakfast early in the morning
but returned at 10 o'clock. When he en-
tered the hall he received an ovation. His
hands were shaken until his arms were
sore. Some very enthusiastic admirers
fairly hugged him. II seemed as If every
man present was the only original Taylor
supporter. The Mayor was proud of the
honor done him. His face beamed with
smiles. He went upon the stage and re-
mained there about two hours trying 10

There are l,19S postofIices In the state

Of fnAian origin. In Aroestook county
there are Wytopitlook, Mattwamkeag, Ok

are Msttagomo Spurdnabunk, I'm

EARLY WHALE FISHERY.
IL Was Probably First Followed by the
Biscayans OF Norwegfans.


AS to who among northern nations may
Justly claim the honor Of first daring to
attack the mighty whale thereis some lit
tie doubt. But the balance Of probability
inclines to the Biscayans OF Norwegians.
We have reasonably definite account in
Orosius of bay whaling having been car
ried on from the North cape along the
shores of the White sea IN the ninth CEN
fury. LanGebek, Danish writer, asserts
positively that the NorwegiaDs were the
pioneers of whale hunting on the coasts OF
their own country about tho year $40.
But there are many references to whale
fishing in the chronicles of that period.
The TRANSLATION ct les Miracles do ct.
Vaast" tells of a donation by William the
Conquerr of 1.-THE Of whales caught at
Dives to the Convent of the Holy Trinity
at Caen. A bull of Pope EugeDe III gives
a 1.-THE of the tongues of whales caught at
Merri to the church at Coutances. These
two will probably suffice as sample OF
the references to the cetacea in those early
times. Historians, however, are agreed
that the Basques and Biscayans first ven
tured far to sea from their own shores and
| so became the originators of the whale
| fishery proper.
About 1575a combined feet of Riscayan
| and Iceland vessels, numbering 81 or &C
| sail, commenced whaling upon the coasts
| of Newfoundland, Iceland and southerE
| Greenland. In 1894 the English appear &c
have awakened to the prospect of profit
| from the whale fishery, for we read that
several ships were fitted out In that yeal
at Bristol for a whaling voyage to Cape
| Breton. One OF them, the Grace of Bris
| toll found between 200 and 500 blades OF
| laminm Of whalebone on tho shores of st
Georges bay, where two large Biscayar
ships had been wrecked three years before
This seems to have been the first instanc'
of the importation of whalebone into Eng
land. London Spectator.
