Hence 1t is that this monument, which
in appearance seems only destined to
evoke the recollection of warlike deeds,
becomes. by the character of the struR-

whom IL glorifes, a monument and
pledge of union between two nations.
Today, just as they did 100 years ago,
the soldiers and sailors OF France and Of
The United States stand side by side;
they surround this monument: they
march under one and the same com
mand. they blend In one common chord
their national hymns, and in celebra'
ton of their common glory they give
the world an example OF fidelity in
friendship.

SAW SHARK FIGHT WHALES.
story of Thrilling Combat Told BY
RhynIand Passengers.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Nine gladiators OF the sea--eight
monster whales and a solitary shark
waged bloody battle last Friday with
in sight of those aboard the American
liner Rhynland, bound for Philadelphia
when she was off the coast of Nova
Scotia.
This terrible marine duel, In which
the one shark was pitted against the
whole whale school, was the first thing
of which the Rhynlands passengers
told yesterday after they had landed
at Washington avenue wharf. The
pier rang with many languages as the
cosmopolitan gathering of men and
women from the Storage and saloons
wildly described for friends and newly
met acquaintance the deadly struggle
of the deep sea warriors.
Never have / seen such a vicious en-
gagement in all my sea career" de-
clared Capt. Rogers. the Rhynland's
commander. 1T was a glorious strug-
gle among giants.
1--WE were going at half speed, about
10 O'Clock in the morning, and thus we
kept the fighters in sight until the bat
tie had ended.
when the whales, eight in number
and half submerged, came abeam of
us the passengers leaned over the side
to catch a view of what they believed
were islands.
Then the school began to spout, and
suddenly it was seen that a shark had
run among the leviathans and had
started a fight.
Like the throng at gladiators' con-
test in ancient Rome and Greece, the
passengers, both cabin and steerage,
clamored merrily for a battle.
For many II was the first sight OF
a whale or shark. They took sides inn
mediately, some wagering that the
shark, singly. would put the whale
school to rout. The passengers want
ed a battle to the death, no putting
thumbs down, as the Romans did to
stop a fight.
They got their struggle to the death.
The shark was q courageous CUSTOM
err. He plunged into the center of the
whales, biting furiously this way and
that, spreading a covering of blood over
the water. Sometimes the shark would
appear to leap out of the ocean; then
he would disappear from view, only
to turn up to worry one of the whales.
"Strenuously the shark battled.
Once or twice he broke the ranks OF
the whales and sent members OF the
school away bleeding. But the odds
were against him.
"As he gripped one Of the whales,
preparing to bite, another ofbthe school,
the biggest monster, and evidently the
leader. swept It's massive tail with a
swish against the shark. The 6ext in
slant we saw the fish floating on the
water, cloven in two.
Then the whales swept down the
Atlantic ahead of US as though nothing
had occurred"

stead of July 4.
The fastest and closest game Of the
Tri-Club League that has yet been
played was played in the Bolton Street
Park yesterday between the teams of
the c. L. A. and the Y NJ. c. A. and
won by the former by the score of / to
0. In only one inning, the fifth. did
a man cross the plate, Leonard of the
C. L. AS, and he scored because of
errors on the part of Stark, catcher of
the Y. M. c. A.
Leonard got to first because of a.
balk on the part of the pitcher. He
started to steal second, but Stark
threw wild to that base, the ball 90
ing to the center fielder and Leonard
continuing to third. Sullivan threw n
pitcher and he in turn to home plate
whlch Leonard was trying to make.
but Stark dropped the ball and the
runner was safe.
The feature of the game was the ex-
ceptionally clever fielding on both
sides, general all round good team
play and the very creditable work of
the pitchers. Elton gave but two
bases on balls, struck out five men
and allowed but four hits, while Nc
Grath gave four bases on balls. struck
out eight, and allowed but two hits
one of which was a two-bagger made
by Sullivan.
There were no features to the game
except the general ones OF all round
good play. In but rare instances could
the batters of either side place the
ball safely, for the outfielding on both
sides was splendid, and the work of
the infield almost equally as good.
With men on bases both pitchers were
equally cool and by good work man
aged to keep them there, with the sin
gle exception of the fifth inning.
In the second inning, with two men
out, the Y. M. G. a. made a double
play Butler struck out; Gordon hit
safe to left; Leonard hit to the same
place; Gordon was caught out at third
and with Leonard still on first Nc
Grath hit to short, Leonard was out
at second and McGrath at first.
By winning this game the Library
boys take the lead of the league, the
Y. M. c. A. drops to second place and
the Chatham Artillery brings up the
rear. Because of the absence of
Frank McIntire, Dan Hull and Wig
gins, who are out of the city, the C.
L. AS played three new men, Gordon,
O'Brien and Butler, each of whom
showed up well, and did creditable
work, The lineup of the teams was:
c. L. Al. Downey, left field;
O'Brien, short stop; ]. McIntire, third
base; Charlton, catch; w. Downey,
right field; Butler, center field; Cor
don, first base; Leonard, second base;

JESSIE MORRISON CONVICTED.

Trial, but spent Only Two Months
in Penitentiary.
Eldorado, Kan, June 2S.--Jessie Nor
rison, on trial here for the third time
for the murder of Mrs. DIN Castle in
this city in June. 1900. was found guilty
of murder in the second degree to-day.
The jury was out twelve hours. The
case may be appealed again.
The first trial resulted in disagree
ment. At the second trial. Miss Morri-
son was found guilty of manslaughter
and given a five-years' sentence. She
spent but two months in the peniten-
tiary, being released on bond on the
on the day her case on appeal was TAX
en- up by the State Supreme Court
She was granted a new trial last Feb
ruary.
Jessie Morrison and Clara Wiley Cas-
tie fought with a razor. Mrs. Castle
was slashed in a horrible manner, and
her windpipe was almost severed. Jes-
sic Morrison was also cut about the
arms and breast. The ARRAY took
place eight days after Mrs. Castle had
been married to Olin Castle, with whom
both women had been in love.
In a deathbed statement Mrs. Castle
said that Miss Morrison had first at
tackled her, and the theory of the state
has been that Miss Morrison, in
spirit of revenge, armed herself with
a razor and went to Mrs. Castles home
intent on killing her.
The defense pleaded self-defense, and
Miss Morrison, in the three times that
she has gone over the details of the
bloody fight, has insisted that Mrs.
Castle called her into the house, &C
cused her of writing to Castle and be-
gan the fight. The Wileys, the Cas-
ties and the Morrisons are leading fam
lilies in the community, Miss Morrison
being the daughter of H. NJ. Morrison,
formerly a circuit Judge.
The present trial has been on for ten
days. The case was given to the jury
last evening. They announced this
morning that verdict had been reach
ed, and Miss Morrison accompanied by
her father and brother, soon entered
the court room. AS the foreman finish
ed reading the verdict Miss Morrison
turned pale, threw her arms around her
aged fathers neck, hid her head on
his shoulder and both wept
bitterly. Later in her cell,
Miss Morrison refused to talk
other than to say she had not expected
conviction, adding:
"The judge was against me from
first to last"
Half a dozen ballots were taken.
One stood six for first degree murder,
five for second degree murder and ono
for third degree granddaughter.
The jury made no suggestion of pun
ishment. The matter of appeal will
be taken up early next week
