FINDING OF RALEIGH" PEARL
Philadelphia Alderman Discovered 1t in
Claim at a BANQUET,

Philadelphia Alderman Discovered 1t in
Claim at a Banquet.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Last Wednesday evening, while the
officers of the cruiser Raleigh were be-
ing dined at the Hotel Walton, Alder
man McAllister, in virtue of his office,
presided at the board. The first course
was clans, of which the councilman is
passionately fond Deity impaling one
of the toothsome bivalves upon fork,
he lost little time in Transforming 1t
to his mouth. His teeth closed heavily
upon his favorite delicacy, and the
equanimity of the table was the next
moment startled by smothered ejacu-
lation. All eyes We're upon the city
father, as, clapping his hands to his
lips, he removed a hard shining object,
which, imbedded in the body Of the
clam, had nearly cost him a tooth or
two.
The luster of the substance he had
bitten upon aroused the curiosity of the
distinguished company. 1t was recog-
nized at once as jewel and was pass
ed rapidly from hand to hand. Coun-
Gilman John Lang of the Twenty
fourth ward, also a. committeeman, who
Is recognized expert on precious
stones at once pronounced it to be
pearl, and one of great price. Suisse
u
be so.
A happy inspiration seized Captain
Coghlan when the verdict was passed
by Mr.. Lang.
ALLOW me to christen your find" he
said to Mr. McAllister. Hereafter let it
be known as the Raleigh pearl" and
the Raleigh pearl it has become, which
is the primary reason why patriotic
McAllister solemnly affirms that he
never will consent to part with it.
In shape the pearl is oval, one-eighth
of an inch in diameter. AT first it was
Of peculiar light brown color, but
since it has been treated to sun baths
and other arts Of the trade this has
given way to a most dazzling white
ness of a peculiarly pellucid tone Ex-
perts have estimated its value at
$4,000. Lieutenant Commander Phelps
of the Raleigh, who is an ardent en-
thusiast on the subject of precious
stones, and quite a collector of the
same, admits that the Raleigh PEARL
is the finest which has ever come under
his observation. Mr.. McAllister has
contracted to have the pearl encircled
by is small diamonds, and mounted as
a scarfpin.

How Sturgeon is captured.

To fish while mounted on the back
of horse probably would be beyond
the capacity of gentle Izaak Walton
of delightful memory, yet that is the
way sturgeon is captured in the frozen
rivers of the Ural mountains. Russian
Cossacks fish in large bands. They gall
lop along until they reach the point in
the river where the current has its
swiftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the ice until they have
cleared a small pool of water which ex-
tends across the rapid current almost
from one bank of the river to the other.
A net is then sunk to the bottom of the
stream and stretched across it at the
open pool so that not single fish can
swim beyond it's meshes. Then the
horses are mounted and the Cossacks
turn back and ride along the edge of
the river for about four or five miles,
Then the band wheels about and gallops
rapidly along the ice-covered stream,
making picture that would delight a
Schreyer or a Fromentin. The loud
cannonade caused by the beating of the
horses huofs on the surface of the Ice
terrifies the sturgeon and they swim
quickly in advance of their pursuers.
tumbling finally in swarms into the net
that waits their capture.

i Billy Woods is encouraged in the belief
he can find enough good catch as-catch-

any three men in 80 minutes or forfeit
$500 in the event of failure. Woods thinks
that Butte, Anaconda. Helena, Great
Falls, Belt and Missoula will all turn out
well to witness the contests to which the
presence of the Turk would undoubtedly
gife life and nre. If any clever man cares
to enter into an engagement with the
Turk in Montana he may get the informa-
ton he desires from Billy Woods.

Billy Woods, the hustling young athletic
