Frank J. Lowe and Gustave Fischer,
and two others. all boys about IA years
old, living in Chelsea, were arrested
last week in that city after the opening
performance in the Academy of Music,

made no difference to Chief Of Police
Drury, who says: They must not go

Bosom, and upon advice of Chief
Drury each entered a plea of guilty
and was placed on probation for six
months.
Chief Drury claims that he Is acting
strictly in accordance with the law,
while the people of Chelsea say that
there is no sense in this rigid enforce
ment of what they claim is the bluest
of all blue laws when literally con-
strued.

PLUNGED AMONG SHARKS.
Lascar Sailors Way of Killing Tiger
of the Sea.
TFrom the Chicago ChronicIe.l

A magazine writer, in describing a re-
cent trip at sea, says an interesting Oc
currence on the ocean trip was when
Lascar sailor volunteered to show how
sharks were killed in his country. Several
were following in the wake of the ship
at the time and the Lascar selected the
largest for the exhibition. Divesting him
self of his already Scanty apparel he arm
ed himself with a knife, which he carried
between his teeth and made a deep dive
We did not see him for fully two minutes
and just when we thought something was
wrong great cOmmOtiOn occurred among
the sharks, and slowly one turned over
his back, the water meanwhile becom-
ing deep red
The Lascar had swum under water and
used his dirk with deadly effect. So quiet
had been his approach that the other
fishes had failed to notice him, and when
they did they were frightened of by the
splashing made by their wounded brother.

A Beautiful History of Four Fine
American Ships in Peace and War.
No story of the war with Spain is COM
plete without adequate reference to the
part played in that struggle by the auxil-
larry cruisers drawn by the government
from the merchant marine to supplement
the regular naval forces The four ships
supplied by the International Navigation
Company, better known as the American
line, performed such valuable functions in
the sea work that their record stands
apart as chapter of the highest import
ance. The story of that work is now
told in n pamphlet, which is in reality.

torical value. The St. Louis, st. Paul,
Yale New York; and Har&ard Paris) each
had her own particular line Of work cut
out for her by the higher naval authori-
ties, and each did her paft admirably. The
St Louis more than justified her impress
ment into the service by the brilliant work
performed by her in cable cutting under
fire Off Santiago and Guantanamo The
st. Paul showed her fighting qualities when
the TORPEDO boat Terror and the cruiser
Isabelle II attacked her off San Juan.
while her capture of the collier Restormel
under the very guns of MORO Castle at
Santiago, revealed the presence of the
Spanish squadron inside. The Yale did
some clever scouting around Porto Rico
and on one occasion while Cervera's squad
ron was being watched for by the navy
with nervous anxiety, she assumed the
character of a British liner and ran in
TO the mouth of San Juan harbor and as
certained beyond a doubt that the armada
had not reached that port. The Harvard
found the Spanish squadron at Martinique,
and thus put the Navy Department in touch
with it's early movements In the Atlantic.
She was within an ace Of capture at that
t1me by the enemy when ordered out of
port by the French authorities, but
shrewd stratasem saved her. and her great
speed later gave her q margin Of security.
