WHALE WORTH A FORTUNE.
1t Carried Chunk Of Ambergris That
Sold for About 100000,

More than 100000 is what Capt.
James Earle, New Bedford whaler
now visiting in Honolulu, realized in
1888 from one sperm whale. In fact.
the whale was one of the most valu-
able ever caught i'll any ocean. 1t
was not the ninety barrels of oil which
gave the leyiathan its extraordinary
value, for that was sold 70: something
like $4,000 but within the whales.
Tast interior there was found a solid
piece of amberSris weighing 7SO
pounds. This was the largest single
piece of ambergris ever found, accord
ing to the records. and that it came
from one lone whale made the rich
discovery the more Interesting to the
scientific world.
This 7S0pound piece OF ambergris
was sold in chunks in all markets Of
the world for about 425 600 sterling,
and It laid the foundation OF wealth
for almost every man interested in the
whaling expedition. which originated
IL New Zealand.

Father O'keefe, the Catholic chap.
lain at West Point. was listening to
some raillery one evening concerning
the efficacy of prayer. 1t was all
good-humored enough. for his COM
panionS at the time were men who
held him in deep respect and regard.
His argur ent was that very. very few
of us who are helped by prayer are
inclined to give credit for the assist
ance to the proper source. and often
fondly believe that our good fortune
is of our own devising. To point his
argument he told the tale of a Celt

In one of the big Office buildings.
Cleaning windows one day on the
eighteenth floor, he lost his balance
and fell eXclaimi;.s as he realized his
great peril:
ooh. I-or-rd. help me, sinner

The words had hardly been uttered
when he was caught on projection
from window on the fourteenth or
fifteenth floor, when. assured of his
safety as he swung free, he added:

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-12-16
The First Star.

In the festal dress of it's golden jubilee
The Evening Star glints in gay 'elief to
the simple dress it first wore. One is the
robe of a queen, the other the gown of a
Quaker maid. One is, the other was, in the
fashion of it's day
In 1852 The Stars dress, as the makeup
of newspaper is called was neat, well
fitting and compact. It's topographic fea-
lures were demure and fair. Its compost
ton was orderly.
The alignment of type in the initial Star
reveals slight inequalities due to unequal
pressure of the quoins and foot sticks on
the type. This is an irregularity not rare
in hand-set newspapers and defect some
times observable in newspapers set by
machine and printed from stereoplates. In
the days that are gone type was ris;idly
locked in the chase that danger of
"pieing'' might be reduced to the least
risk, for it was an olden custom to lift the
form from the imposing stone and
carry it to the press. Now there IS at the
foot of the chase, or metal frame incasing
the imposed, or assembled type, a steel bar
which is driven against the type by series
of screws turned by crank-lever. The
imposing table is mounted on heavy casters
and, with it's burden of type, is rolled from
the composing room to the stereotyping
room. The table is flush with the steam
press under which the form is pushed
that the papier-mache matrx may be
made, as it is from this matrix that the
stereoplate is cast. The form is no longer
lifted by workman, was the form from
which the first Star was printed. The pres

structure, between the corner building and
the annex. Temporary provision was made
for the printing of the paper outside of
The Stars wrecked press room. In Novem-
Der, 1893. the presses were established in
the endorsement floor of the annex build
ing, where they remain, the broad
windows of the room they occupy affording
the public clear view of their marvellous
work.
These changes were accompanied by
succession of arrangements of the second
floor of the corner building, which was
rapidly being filled with the increasing
staff of the news department and in
November 1891, more room being required
No. 1903 Pennsylvania avenue Immediately
adjoining the corner building on the west
was purchased and the second story was
added to the editorial departments space,
the third floor being used to store the mis-
cellaneouS reserve stock of the composing
room. The chief difficulty encountered dur
ing these days while sufficient actual floor
space was available, was that the compos-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-12-16

ing room was too far from the editorial
rooms, being not only two floors higher, but
in another building. In consequence the
work of getting out the edition was steadily
becoming more difficult as the paper grew
and frequent communication between these
departments was more essential. The mod
ern newspaper Office must be compact.
Many pleasant memories of the old build
ing are recalled. But progress and senti-
ment are far apart. There came time
when this building was inadequate even
with the additions ard annexes, for the
needs of such paper The Evening Star.
The monster post office building had been
completed. A home that should meet all
the requirements of The Evening Star for
years to come was the main thing for the
owners of the paper to consider. Not only
that, but a building that should be an or
nament to the avenue to the city of which
it was intrinsic part. No other site was
contemplated
The necessity for a compact, large struc-
ture to house The Star had been long real
lied by the company before the actual
steps were taken to erect the present home
The avenue frontage owned by The Star,
even including No 11O3, was insufficient
and so No. 1105 was purchased in June
1895, and while not added to the equipment
was held in reserve, insuring a sufficient
frontage and ground space The title to
the annex property, which was needed as a
safeguard against possible complications

16 1852, there appeared editorial article
more interesting as a prophecy than as a
classic 1t follows:
Here are, gentle reader! Be not alarmed at
our size, for remember that all things had a be-
ginning, and. by nature, that beginning small.
As the poet says
Large streams from little fountains flow,
Tall oaks from little grow
This design to be our aim. As success shall
crown efforts, and have no doubt of it. we
shall increase our size without adding one farthng
to the price. Remember this: When The Evening
Star shall grow to the size of the full moon, and
its brightness shall increase it will still be within
the means of every citizen to be enivened by its
rays
AS verse was employed to foretell that
The Star would become a great newspaper,
it is consistent to quote a poem which Col.
John A. Joyce wrote June 80. 1900:
Twinkle, twinkle. Evening Star
It's wonder that you are
Far above the world high
