30 SHARKS EAT MEN7
Doubt Cas- Upon Many Thrilling sfe-
rics OF the Sea.

Doubt Cast Upon Many Thrilling Sfe-
RIGS OF the Sea-.
Some authorities aver that there are
no man eating sharks, but stories Of hui
man meals made by tigers Of the sea-
are exceedingly common among seafar-
ing men. says the New York Press. At
the same time men who know all about
sharks and are not fond Of drawing the
long bow declare these big fish to be
great towards. One Of the best aufhen-
ticated man eating shark stories comes
from the Cuban coast. It is told By 4
nan who had lived along the shores Of
the gulf Of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea for years and had never known a
shark to bite q man. One day be went
sailing with a friend. When the friend
jibed without taking in the sheer, the
boom knocked him overheard, Some one
jumped to the helm, put about and threw
an oar to the map. He seized 1t and he
gan swimming for the boat, when sud
denly he sank below the waves with a
wild scream, 'sas it jerked from below,
and was seen no more.
1T was believed he was eaten by d
shark" says the story teller, sbut no
blood was seen in the water, nor did the
man eater come to the surface, If there
was one. It certainly looked suspicious,
but / have seen men go down almost as
suddenly with cramp or fright"
Another man eating shark story comes
from Honolulu, the supposed victim Of
the .ssea tigers being Joseph Law
renee, an ~aeronaut, who went there some
years ago to give aeronautic exhibitions.
He made several a~scensions successfully,
coming down by means of his parachute
IN the sea, near shore, but n day he
was carried some miles out over the sea
and beyond the reef. 1t was two hours

INNOCENT LOOKING ILLICIT DISTILLEEI-
might have remained there coming mon
ey to this day, but it seems that the
thrifty wife of one of the gang went into
the game on her OWE plan aud began
| selling illicit whisky to such Of her friends
in che quarter as knew what to call for
who had the secret password, you might
say-and the Ginger Ale,' .s-SarsaDafllia
and other spouts of her little soda foun-
tain flowed pure illicit gin, whisky, rom
and what not when the occasion demand
ed. The whole neigbborhood vas sup
piled with whisky at the expense of the
saloon and the internal revenue, for she
sold q pint of pure whisky for a dine,
and it was remarkably good stuff too.
ssThen there is money in making illicit
whisky"
Certainly, else why would men take
such great risks? You can make a good
grade Of whisky from molasses, doctorins
it as you see f. or as customers demand.
9'he actual cost is from Is to 80 cents Il
gallon. The revenue tax Is S1.10 a gal
Ion. Now, il a man wants to take tile
risk and has IN Illicit distiller whom he
can trust, he can buy his whisky for 80
or so cents a gallon, and the 6stiller will
make from 2c0 70 400 per cent profit,
while the retailers profit will run into
the thousands.
I'm the first place, the most of the spir-
its is high preof-say 80. This Is the
way it is bought, but It is diluted almost
one-half before manipulated and sold.
This gives the retailer an enormous prof
it, but his risk is also very great, and if
he runs away to escape capture he usual
Iy leaves a good deal Of valuable stock
behind.
"Yes. they all get rich in the Illicit dis
tiIling business lie they enn keep at it long
enough before being caught, but it goes
hard with them then. There was a mar
at Bayside, for instance. His name was
Sprohi. but he had half a dozen aliases,
and his acquaintance were legion. We
got wind of the fact that somewhere on
| Long Island there was a deal of Illicit
whisky pouring into New York and
| Brooklyn, and we secured the Black
Stump and other forests with guns and
| dogs, ostensibly hunting game, but all
in vain. One morning the citizens Of the
| little village of Bayside heard a n
dous explosion and ran to a small build
| ing which was occupied by a modest sa-
! loon keeper and his family. 1t was right
| on the main thoroughfare too. The whole
back Of the house had been blown into
the yard, and the stencil of hot mash was
a ~taiebearer to the four winds
when the deputies arrived there, they
found the owner Of the place burying
some copper trumperies in o compost
heap, although IN the explosion of his re-
| tort be had himself been blown through
the oaek Of the house and landed near

North Elba is in the Adirondack noun

now, but is visited By occasional pilgrims,
who seek out the picturesque tomb Of the
old hberator.
John Brown moved TO North Elba, in

painless Adirondack wilderness, when he
was 40 years old. lie had already be-
come greatly interested In the slavery
question and was among the most ardent
Of aboitionists.
At North Elba be concerted the idea
Of making his home in the Adirondacks

eventually become the northern terminus
OF the underground railway" by which
slaves were secretly conveyed from the
southern states into Canada. q favoFite
route at that time was BY way of Balti-
more, New York and the Adirondacks-
The little colony Of negroes which he
started here. however, failed to grow and
prosper. On the contrary, it dwindled
away. The negroes could not Withstand
the rigors Of the climate here, where the
mercury frequently falls in winter to
20 and even 80 degrees below zero.
They grew sick and Respondent and Ell
Their moved AWAY or died.
John Brown then resolved to invade
the enemy's country. He conceived the
idea Of capturing the arsenal at Harpers
Ferry, arming the negroes and turning
them against the white slave owners OF
the south, thus enabling the poor blacks
to free themselves from bondage
When Brown made his famous raid on
the United States arsenal at Harpers
Ferry, Va, in October, 1859. he was &C
