MONSTER WHALE SEEN FRIDAY.
; Captain MCGEE Reports One on Caro-
lima Besch-Fully 100 Feet Long.

Captain MCGEE, who is in charge of
the property on Carolina Beach report
ed to Captain Harper of the steamer
Wilmington yesterday that on last
Friday he saw a monster whale play
ing along the beach He watched 1t
for several hours while it swan about
the water front, most of the time be-
tween the old blackade runner wreck
and the club houses-
Captain MCGEE estimates that the
whale was fully 100 feet long. He
says that sometimes 1t would be close
in shore for several minutes at a time
its huge body resembling the hull of
a ship. Time and again it would
spout water high in the air.
The presence of a whale on this coast
is a very unusual sight and it is much
to be regretted that owing to the sea-
son of the year there were very few
people on the beach to see the mon

manned only a short time, having, at the
advice of her friends, resigned to resume
the study of law.
The satutes of Montana at tha time
prohibited the practice of law by fe-
males. Ella Knowles was determined in
her resolutions n set about the great
task of having this statute repealed.
with personal interviews with members
of the legislature and a determination to
win she was successful, and in A5S9 she
was admitted to the bar. In 1891 she
was the first woman to be chosen for
nominee of the populist party for attor-
ney general.
She canvassed the state thoroughly,
making over 100 speeches and SO close
was the result between herself n Henri
j. Haskell, her republican opponent, that
the official ballot was resorted to to de-
eide who was winner. She lost by a very
few votes, but the most creditable CAM
paign showed that she was extremely
! popular with the people.
I To the great surprise of her friends, a
year after the election she married Hen
ri J. Haskell, her republican opponent
in the election. She was then appointed
assistant attorney general and was the
first person of her sex to hold this po-
sition. An important event during her
services in the capacity of assistant at
torney general was the saving of school
lands in Montana, valued at $500, 600, her
arguments in this connection having
great weight before the general land Of
fee officials at Washington, A a law
yer she received the highest fee ever
paid to a woman. This fee amounted to
SO, 600, and in this case she defeated the
copper king, J. B.. Haggin.
Mrs. Haskell is heartily in sympathy
with the woman's rights question and is
a leader in all matters Of this kind. She
was the first lady delegate to the state
and national conventions and is also
chairman of the Woman'S state central
! committee. She is truly an exa@sole of
what women can do in politics.
Recently, however, she has been fore
ed to withdraw somewhat from public
life on accodnt Of mining interests with
which she is connected and which occupy
her time. She has just completed a sale
of a jefferson county mine for Minnesota
! rarties for $1G0, 900, and has another deal
on which involves $500 She is an ac-
tive member of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers and her knowledge
in his connection places her in a very

considers lit an enjoyable recreation TO
don a heavy rubber coat n boots and
to be lowered in a bucket down into a
min to inspect it. When the writer sug-
/ gested recently tha the field of her ac-
~tiyities was a somewhat unusual one

To SEARCH
FOR ANOREE
ANOTHR EXPEDITION SOON TO BE
SENT OUT BY THE KING
OF SWEDEN.

Has Andree reacher the pole in his ball
loon, or has he persisted in the frozen Po-
Tar wilderness? On July II three years
will have passed since the daring explor-
err set out with two equally fearless COM
panions in a balloon that vas provisioned
for four months. Since hat day practi-
cally nothing has been heard of him.
1t is true that or July 10 a pigeon that
had been been killed was found to be
the bearer of a message from the eXplor-
ing party. but this letter had been written
several days before and gave but little
information. AS the result of this long
spence scientists in general have come to
tie conclusion chat the three men have
persisted in the Arctic wilds. and that
their bones are buried beneath the eter-
nal SHOWS.
While this is the opinion that is gen
orally accepted, however, there are a few
persons who are still able to feel thai
there is a possibility that the members
Of the party may be alive. Among these
is Herr Ernst Andree. the brother of the
explorer, and he has recently prepared

thought of by his owner that the latter
did not risk q single penny upon him.
In spite of this. however, the colt won
easily, in the then record time Of 2:43h.
and Sir Joseph Hawley, the owner, was
so delighted at seeing his black and cher
ry Jacket borne TO victory in the coveted
race that he presented the whole of the
stakes. worth about $4,000. to "Tiny"
Wells, the jockey who had sat astride the
horse.
The entries for h Derby OF this year
are as vet in such a condition that it -
difficult to even attempt to make a rea-
sonable guess at the probable winner.
Many fine colts have been entered and
each of the animals is e and soul

anticipated, but it is doubtful il this or

GREAT ENGLISH RACE OF THE
YEAR.

Among all the events in the sporting
calendar in England there is nothing to
compare with Derby day, and, as the
result, his race, which is so soon to be
fun again, is now one OF the chief topics
of interest from one end of the United
Kingdom to the other; in fact, If 1T were
not for the war it would be the only sub
ject worthy of being talked about.
If there is any one thing that will
make the present Derby conspicuous it
will be the absence of the Duke of West
| minister. who succeeded in carrying Off
the honors last year with that great
horse, Flying Fox. Four times the duke
won the riband that is so highly priced,
and there has been scarcely a race for
twenty years or more in which his stable
has not been we'll represented. Natural
ly. therefore, he will be missed by those
who gather to watch the contest this
season, but there is no doubt that more
than one of the horses that appear at
the track will recall the old sportsman to
J the mind of the spectators, as the blood
of his stable is represented by more than
one of the prominent contestants.
1t would be difficult for one to find any
event in turf history that has a more in
te1esting record for sensational contests
than the Derby. In fact, it is not neces-
sary to search very far back before one
discovers the record of an event that
I was sensational enough to appeal to the
soul of the most hardened adinirer Of the
runners, for, of the hundred-odd strug-
giles that have been contested upon
EPSON Downs, few have caused more
excitement than the race of 1896, when
Jeddah, starting at the decidedly useful
price of Ito to l against him, beat the
Duke of Westminster's colt, Bait, by
three-quarters of a length, with another
100 to l chance. Dunlop, a moderate
third.
1t is a long way back from 1898 to 1874
"a year hat will always be associated
with one of the most daring turf frauds
ever perpetrated. In that year a horse
Woods Running Rein, by The Saddler
Queen Nab" came in first for the Derby;
but, it being afterWard proved to the
satisfaction of the jockey club authors
ties hat the inner was actually q Il
year-old by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. dam,
the race was awarded to General PeeIs
colt orlando. which had finished second.
The Derby of 1867. won by Mr.. Chap
ms Hermit, will always be memorable
for having been run during a snow
storm. and by reason OF the fact that
some of the most sensational wagering
on record took place over this race.
1t was undoubtedly the victory Of
Hermit that ruined the Inflated Mar
quis of Hastings. whose losses amounted
to nearly $1,000, eco. One transaction
alone made by this plunging nobleman
was an even $50, 900 upon three of the
competitors, not one of which succeeded
in getting a place. The bulk of his losses,
however. was sustained through laying.
heavily against Hermit at long odds.
The term sensational" may also be
appropriately applied to the Derby of
1885, for Blue Town was SO badly

ton collapsible boats. The car was capa-
BILE Of instant detachment from the reser-
voir, and was provided with a sail, as
we'll as drag or guide ropes, which were
intended to retard the progress OF the
balloon by trailing along the surface. In
his way the balloon made a rate of speed
about 25 per cent. less than that OF the
wind, and was, therefore, more capable
of being steered than it would otherwise
lave been. "
During the many trial trips that have
preceded the final experiment Andree
tested his apparatus thoroughly, and on
several occasions he found that he was
able to sail at an angle of 27 to Az
degrees from the direction of the wind.
When all these facts are taken into
consideration it does not seem strange
that the most conservative scientists in
Europe were fascinated by the plan as
outlined by the Swedish engineer, n it
is not impossible that the theory that En-
nest Andree upholds so tenaciously may
after all be correct. Herr julius Won Pay
er, of Vienna, an experienced explorer
and the leader of the party that discov-
cred Franz Josef Land, does not hesitate
to assert that there is no possibility that

ELLA KNOWLES HASKELL, ONE
OF THE LEADING PUBLIC
FIGURES IN THE WEST

The name Of Ella Knowles-Haskell
throughout the extreme west is one that
is familiar in all business circles. She is
a lawyer. miner and politician and dur
ing her IL years residence there she has
been connected with business and politi-
cal matters of such a nature that she
now bears a national reputation and is a
leader in her chosen field of duty. . 5
Mrs. Haskell's maiden name was Ella
knowles, and she was the only child Of
her parents in New Hampshire, where
she spent her youth. She graduated
from Northwood seminary at the age of
Is years, after which she taught school
to secure funds with which to continue
her education. In 1884 she graduated
with honors from Baten college at Lew
iston, Me. Later she took the full Yale
course. Her yearning for a higher edu-
cation caused her to overlook the neces-
sity of caring for her physical health,
and hard study and close application un-
dermined her strength to such a degree
that her physician advised her to so

She departed for Helena, Mont, in
1887. After a short rest she accepted a
i position as teacher in the public schools
of that city. In this capacity she re-
