MISAPPREHENSION.

A small boy the other day heard the couplet of a hymn which runs thus:
 And Satan trembles when he sees
 The meek st sinner on his knees.
 His pity was all for Satan. Why does satan let the sinner sit upon his knees if it makes him tremble? ?'-EX.

st. Louis Man and Companion Had
an Exciting Battle With Big Shark.

an Exciting Battle With Big Shark.
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept This is
a true fish story-and truthful, too. be-
cause a st. Louis mar participated in
it.
Morris johnson of this city and a gen.
tleman who does not want his name
used here, but who will place it on the
election books of a St. Louis suburban
precinct, were fishing in the Thorough
fare. Bites were few and he lay listless-
ly watching the bob as it hoated on the
water.
Presently it disappeared with a pull
that nearly yanked Johnson out of the
boat, and out sped his line on the rush.
He took a turn about his foot. Then,
the line ending in a snarl, johnson was
jerked into the air and landed on his
ped through the water like a revenue
cutter, while ms had all he could
do to clutch the sides and prevent him
self from being drawn into the water.
He caught a fieeting glance of Atlantic
City fast fading in the distance.
Then the mysterious thing on the other
end of the line executes a broad turn
and back the boat sped up the Thorough
fare Johnson was red in the face and
very angry when two fishermen came to
the rescue. His enforced ride had by
that time an hour. The fish
ermen followed along the line and be-
held a shark quite as long as JohnSon'S
o It was shot and johnson was re-
leased.
The shark measured nine feet one inch
from tip to tip 1t was pronounced the
largest shark ever caught in inside wa
ters here. 1t was of the man-eating
variety.

THf JAIL SET BACK.
Large Building Suitable for Court
 House to Occupy Front.

Marshal Tanner yesterday began i'm provements at the city jail, on Sta'e street. He moved the jail building back twenty six feet to the rear of the lot, and will place another building, formerly occupied as commission store room, in front of the jaiI. Then he will raise the roof of the first building enough to make second story to the structure, and may raise the roof of the building in the rear and make a second story to it. Should he do this he will have hall I8x5o feet.
 It is understood that the idea in placing the old commission building in front of the jail contemplates the possibility of having the court room established in the building. Furthermore, the marshal de sires, he says, to have the prisoners farther from the sidewalk than they are now. AS it is many passers-by stop at the jail door and look from curiosity to see the pris- oners.

Last Night the Order Elect ed Building Committee.
FOUR RIDE THE GOAT
Forty Others Made Application for Membership--The Financial Re- port Loudly Applauded -- Lodge has an Enthusiastic Meeting.

The Elks last night had one of the most enthusiastic lodge meeaings in its history. First there was financial report that was a gladsome surprise, and after that no less than two score of applications for mem bership from among the leading men of the city were reported. After this there was no excuse for any delay in beginning the erection of the new Elks' haE and opera house, and orders were given to begin work at once.
 It was seen that there were ample funds on hand to start the building. Several offers of loans, if they should be neces- sarv, were made, so the camp proceeded to elect building committee. Eight brothers were nominated. and the following were elected as such committee: F. T. Keelar, John Hislop, w. L. Metcalf, E. R. Peoples and l. H. Moore.
 This committee received instructions to begin the building at once, Architect Maxon's plans for which have already been adopted. The site is opposite the U, s. barracks on Sixth avenue, the four small buildings on which have been occu- pied bv the troops. but were yesterday vi- cated by them. The building is to be just as fine an entertainment hall as can be con structed and be consistent with lodge pur- poses. There will be a stage, gallery and boxes, and seating accommodation for at least three hundred. 1t is to cost about $5ooo, and work will, in all probability, be begun on it this mornging, as the build

WHITE PASS FOLDER.
It Advertises the Skagway Route to
 the Nome Gold rislds.

The new folder of the railroad company forms striking contrast to its predeoess> ors and has evidently been prepared by some one who knew his business. The cover is artistic in design and has the merit of being distinctive in color and other es- sential features. The company has adopt ed as Its own peculiar symbol large open gates through which train is passing up narrow gorge. with the titles Gateway to the Yukon." and "Scenic Route of the World"
 General information regarding the land of gold" is the title of the folder itself, and the information it contains is concise and seems to be exact It's table of dis tances is probably the only reliable one that has ever been published. and among its important announcements is that about June I, at the opening of river navigation at White Horse, the railway will have been completed to that point. distance of TIT miles from Skagwav.
 Another feature of great merit are the four maps, one of Alaska and British Col umbia and the Yukon; one of the Nome York and Golifnin bay mining districts another of Atln. and one of the route from Skagway to Dawson. The maps are ex- celent and as document for ready refer ence that Is reliable this folder Is of real utility and value. The maps are exceed ingly we'll drawn and printed, in colors, and are strictly up to date.
 Ii clearly demonstrates that thorough investigations have shown that Skagwav is the best route to Nome as we'll as to the Klondike, that Nome can be reached sev eral weeks earlier by the way of the Yukon, and when the folder gets into gen. eral circulation below 1t will convince many that this Is the better way to reach those gold fields than by the ocean route. Traffic Manager Irwin is to be eongratu. lated on the maps, the compilation and the general appearance of the new folder.
