Will be extremely interes.ing-the cX-
hTbit OF the Hampton Normal School

1t is probable THAT many citizens OF
the Land of the Free :snd the Home OF

knowledge of the methods and work of
this institution in Paris. The paradox
from home to learn what is going on at

The students will be Photographed in
groups. according to classes, also in

The series Will be the most complete
ever prepared for an institution of this

interest among far-away people
In connection With the photographs
there Will be. Of course. a history OF

Have You Seen the whal !!

Thousands of people have visited the
spot where the big whale, which wash
ed ashore between Cape Henry and
Ocean View Sunday now lies.
The big whale was carefully meas
ured yesterday as 1t lies on the beach.
J. is siXty-ive feet long, about fifteen
feet through and has a mouth With a
spread of about twenty feet. II is black
above and white below. The skin Of
the whale is beautifully ribbed under
meath.
Careful examination indicates that it
is a common Roqual or Razor-back
This species grows to a size Of sixty
to seventy feet long. so this is one of
the largest of it's kind. The Roquals
are widely distributed and commit great
havoc in fisheries. They rarely con
gregate in schools" but are found
Isolated from each other. Their capture
is net generally pursued, as they do not
generally yield much blubber, The
WhalebOne is stout. coarse and of COM
paratively little value. The name Ro-
quail is derived from the Morse '.Rorq-
val" signifying whale with pleats or
folds in the skin
I is said that the Washington steam
or struck the whale Saturday week,
and reported the striking Of something,
supposed to be submerged log Il is
now believed that this log was this
whale and that the collision broke its
jaw. The shock probably killei the
whale.
Monday afternoon a force of mer
began preparations for trying out the
blubhcr. Several cart loads OF blubber
were cut off by the men Monday and
removed.
1t is expected that about fifty bar
rels of Oil, q quantity Of whalebona and
a considerable quantity Of refuse meat
and bone that will make good fertilizer
will be secured.

The United States battleship Texas,
which arrived in Hampton Roads Mon
day afternoon from Boston. sailed yes
terday morning for Brunswick. Ga. Ell
route to Havana, where she will take
on the bodies of the Names dead and

The Texas has been at Boston in

turned here yesterday morning. She
came to Hampton Roads for coal AMI
Monday night her bunkers were suffi-
GENTLY replenshed. Yesterday at .
O'Clock Captain Sigsbee ordered up an
Choir and the battleship started in he,.
Southern cruise.
At Brunswick the Texas will remain
Tor two days to attend some kind of Il
patriotic celebration. The citizens Of

the Navy to let them have q warship
and as the Texas would pass South
about that time she was ordered TO put

go directly to Havana to take on the
bodies of the victims of the Maine dis

A dispatch to the 0 from Rush
City states that Superintendent of Con-
struction Taylor of the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company, made
connections at that place yesterday, so
that there is now a through long dis
lance metallic circuit telephone line be-
tween the Twin Cities and the head Of
the lakes for the first time.
Manager B. T.. Freely, of the North
western Telephone exchange, asked last
night concerning the report, said:
Il do not know whether the report is
correct or not. 1 have been informed that
the American Telegraph and Telephone
company had a construction crew at
work on the line to the head of the
lakes, and had understood that con-
nection through might be had very soon,
but have had no information about the
connection being made. The American
company's lines will run to Gladstone,
where they will have switching sta
ton for st. Paul. Minneapolis ard 1 be-
lieVe for Eastern points,"
The American Telegraph and Telephone
company, like the local concern, holds
