Cnnrht a Bnby XYhaIe.

A baby whale, two and a half feet in
length, was washed ashore in the
breakers few miles south Of the
Cuff House, Sunday afternoon and
was Immediately picked up by G. Bak-
er, S. Roberts and George Whistler,
who were walking on the beach The
little whale was lively and in sound
condition, apparently, except for a
slight bruise on the side Of his head,
and in half an hour the young men
had him in a receptacle filled with salt
water. The little fellow was brought
to the city, and thrlyes so well that
yesterday, to the anazement Of his
captors, he had grown to a length OK
nearly four feet He is one Of the
blue species and blows vigorously most
Of the time he is thrashing around in
his tank. Seafaring men who looked
upon the little whale yesterday said
they had never seen so diminutlye a
specimen of his species before, but
that he was nevertheless a whale. His
tail is shapely and Is already avoided
by the young men who have taken
upon themselves to raise the emhw'1
leviathan to adult size.-San Francisco

A Tale of ChivnIry.

The Knight on his prancing steed,
rode up to the Castle gate, and striking
his halberd upon his brazen shield the
changing sound rang out upon the
morning air and echoed through the
roated grange
The ever watchful Sencchal upon the
outer wall heard the summons Of the
visiting Knight and responded.
"Ho, there" sailed the Knight in
stentorian tones, "Ho"
"What wouldst Sir Knight?' in
quired the Senechal, removing his he'll
met.
"Let the portcullis fall" said the
Knight. Il would enter the Castle
and sec the fair lady who is its mis-
tress.
"Wait but a little" replied the Senes-
chal, "and l will come again."
The Knight bowed, and the Senes-
chal, descending into the Castle, went
into the grand hall where the fair lady
sat upon a raised dais beneath can
opy of crimson and gold and purple.
The Seneschal, bowing thrice, ap-
preached the hem Of the fair lady's
garment.
"What means your presence here
varlet? inquired the lady.
"a Knight is Mt the gate Of the Cas-
tie, fair lady," said the Seneschal
"What would he?"
"To see the mistress Of the castle"
as it the Knight of Campney"
"No, fair lady"
"Then it must be the Knight Of Alb
erdeen,' she said half to herself, and
'blushing softly,
"No, fair lady, it is not" said the
Seneschal.
"Not he, varlet?" she exclaimed an
grily. "Then who is it?"
81 know not, fair lady" answered
the trembling Seneschal, "but, judging
from his language, 1 should say 1t
was the Man with the Ho."-Wash'

dermen and citizens which IS select
ing and purchasing sites for small
parks and Fairgrounds. Thirty or for
ty cities are actively at work on the
problem and making provision FOX
small children and large boys and
girls alike. Nor is it sufficient to mere.
ly create open spaces. They must be
adequately fitted with apparatus and
should have a supervisor who can
teach its use, encourage skill and make
the turbulent element feel its owner
ship in the property. Thus it will soon
come to use 1t properly and to deslst
from turbulence since it will find the
use Of the apparatus and the playing
Of active games much the more inter-
esting.
MUST PROVIDE FOR THE BOY.
San Francisco, with a climate which
makes possible to encourage outdoor
life during the greater portion Of the
year, has both a greater responsibility
to supply adequate outdoor spaces
which are the property of its citizens
and a greater privilege in that its in.
yestment must be of greater value
since it can be used almost twice as
long as that in the less-favored East
ern cities,
Too little provision is made for the
so-called bad boy, who may be of much
finer clay than his good brother-the
cart horse is less restless than his high
bred brother and far less apt to take
the bit in his teeth and run. We must
provide for him accordingly if we have
wit or wisdom.
1t would, therefore, appear that in
the interest of good citizenship and Of
economy in morals and ever-what
seems to be Of greater importance to
some-of economy in money, that one
of the most necessary steps to be TAX
en- is to establish such Fairgrounds
and outdoor gymnasiums as may COM
pete in their attractions with the many
temptations of the street. The child
is father to the man, and the street
is no place Of rest nor refuge for one
OF the other in his leisure moments.

The PAY ofnLInisters.

At n meeting of the UniversaIst
ministers in Boston one of the breth-
rem opened his heart on the subject of
ministers salaries. He felt deeply
that they were too low, and thought
ministers were paid only about half as
much as lawyers and doctors Of equal
ability. He thought for one thing,
that a minister should be paid for Off
clating at funerals, where the family
is in a position to give fees and are
not attendants at his church. That
point, at least, seems to be well taxa.
No reason suggests itself why, under
circumstances as stated, a funreal fee
should not be willingly paid and ac-
cepted with resignation. The ques-
tion of funeral fees often comes up,
because cases in which they seem due
are not uncommon, but they are rarely
paid, and are omitted in most instances
because the bereaved family does not
feel at liberty to offer one.-E. S. Mar
tin In Harners Weekly.

81 per cent, and in Kings county nearly
50 per cent. In the face of these figures
tor 1897, the prediction that Tanmany
will roll up from So. 900 to 100 900 BRYAN
majority in the consolidated city is with
out any basis of probability. Even in
1898, when the democrats generally sup
ported their ticket, Roosevelt's percent
age in New York was nearly 90 per cent,
and In Kings county about As per cent.
Mckinley probably will have the whole
business and professional vote behind
him in November, as he did in 1896; and
if Bryan beats Mckinley at all in New
York City, the margin in his favor will
be small. So far from New York City
giving Bryan $4,000 to 100 900 plurality,
it is doubtful if his majority touches 49,
600. The democrats allow the republic
cans but $4,000 majority outside of New
York City, whereas they are likely to ex-
coed 100, ooo.-Oregonian

Everyone who had the pleasure
of hearing the Hon. John T. Nor
risou at the court house last night
carried away with him the idea
that he was fit material for con-
oressional timber. He is a man
of broad culture and comprehen-
sive views. He is a fair minded,
broad. minded man, and his cam
vass of the state Is winning him
not only the votes Of his own party,
but the votes of many others who
are won by his personality. Mr..
Morrison has pitched his campaign
on a high plane. There is moth.
ing of the ranter or demagogue
about his speeches. He meets the
issues squarely and stands for the
defense of the broad, progressive
spirit of republicanism, without
fear or favor. As Idaho's repre-.
sentative in the lower house of con.
gress he will work with the same
Characteristic energy and broad
minded fairness for the interests of
the state and for all the people cf
the state. The strength of Mr..
Morrison's canvass shows that the
republicans made no mistake in Sc
lecting him for their candidate and
that the people Of the common
wealth of Idaho will indorse him
in the election.

Gentlemen: l have examined Ellis
History of United States, in six volumes,
by Edward S. Ellis, which l have in my
library, with considerable care. l am
very much pleased with the work of the
distinguished historian. He seems to
have completed his task with conscien-
tious care; the arrangement of the work
is admirable and the excellent maps and
copious marginal notes greatly facilitate
the study Of our country's history. l
find that all the disputed points of his
tory are treated with fairness and honesty.
The author gives due credit to all the
discoveries and explorers. He imputes
no bad or sordid motives but leaves the
student of history to form his own con-
illusions from the facts presented.
1t is in this candid spirit that history
should be written. Mr. Ellis iniparts a
wholesome lesson to all compllers of his
tory. sincerely hope that this admra-
bic work may find ready sale. 1t will,
am sure, accomplish great amount of
good in making clear to all students of
the history of our beloved country, its
glorious record. He has earned the
gratitude of all honest Americans in thus
presenting to the public an honest work
of study and scholarly research.
With becoming gratitude for the pleas
ure and profit the work has afforded me,
very truly yours, ]. NJ. CLEARY,

MckInley's Chances Good.

The outlook for Mckinley today points
to his election by an electoral vote at
least as large as that he obtained in 1896.
Indications are that he will carry every
state that he won east of the Mississippi
In 1896, with the exception Of Kentucky,
and possibly Maryland, and west of the
Mississippi will capture Kansas, South
Dakota, Wyoming and Washington,
which were carried by Bryan in 1896
The republicans no longer feel doubtful
OF victory in Indiana, Maryland or West
Virginia, and feel absolute confidence Of
victory in New York state. New York
has been happily described as the "ba-
rometer of national sentiment" At
every presidential election since 1872 its
electoral vote has gone to the successful
candidate. The obvious explanation is
tsat' because of its close business and
financial association with the whole UNI
Ion and because of the representative
american quality of Its population, the
public opinion of New York state is a
test OF the political sentiment of the ma
ION. The business sentiment of New
york state turns the scale in National
election.
New York is for Mckinley today be-
cause the business sentiment Of the state
Is Tor the gold standard, and so also is
the professional sentiment. The vast
majority Of the gold democrats of New
iork state are as determined in their op-
position to Bryan as they were in 1896.
lhey are determined to unload him i'll
november, decisively and finally for all
ome' to come. In 1896 Mckinley re-
eeived in New York City I56,35o votes,
70 i3s,624 for Bryan, and in Kings county
io9I35 to 76,SS2. That is, Mr.. McKin-
1eys percentage in New York was nearly

Republican principles are inbred
in an American firmly fixed by a
hundred years of heredity. They
insinuate themselves in the ideas,
opinions and habits of all Ameri
cans. They can never be rooted
out short of revolution: and
there are no symptoms that pre-
sage such a revolution. A few
people may entertain old womanly
fears about imperialism and mill
tarism in America, but the calm
judgment of American common
sense knows that there is no soil
here for such things to grow. The
habits and mental processes of the
people are unchangeably republi-
can in their nature. There would
be no material from which
to make an i'm perial army. From
the president to the obscurest citi
zen the belief in independence and
in representative institutions is not
merely all intellectual conviction,
but is part of the fundamental
character of the man. 1t is as i'm
possible to change the laws and
customs of the American people in
this respect as to change the color
OF their skins. The democratic
spirit is born and bred in the men
who pirate Of the dangers OF i'm.
pelialism in such a nation; merely
show that they are insincere or
that they are pitia bly, lacking i'll
Judgment and in the powers of or
binary observation.
