The Thrifty Duke.

Col. Hamilton Young, the veteran manager of the Western Union lines at the capitol in Washington. tells story of the visit of the duke of Veragua to this country during the Chicago world S fair
 The duke desired to stop at Colum- bus on his way to Washington and wanted to send telegram to the may or informing him of that fact He in 1uired at a telegraph office as to the cost. being a thrifty duke.
 Twenty-Five cents" the operator re- piled, for ten words, not including ad- dress or signature.
 Whereupon the duke wrote this mes sage Mayor of Columbus-T shall visit your city next Tuesday, and he signed it: "Cristobal Colin de Toledo y Larreategui de Ia Cerda Ramirez de Baqnedancy Gante slmirante Adei- antado Mayor de las Judias.

WHALE FISHING REVIVED.
Small Boats Now Used Around New foundland and Bombs for
 the Strike"

Instead of two and three-year voy- ages in which ships boats are used in capturing the giants of the deep, the Newfoundland whole industry is pros ecuted in the immediate waters of the island by the use of small but handy steamers of about 100 tons burden, with a speed of about 13 knots. The strike" is made with a bomb fired from gun at the bow of the steamer. A successful shot results in almost instant death, and three. four and even five whales a day have been taken by single crews. Ons steamer brought to the shore five whales each day for three days in succession, and another killed 23 in a single week. That is the purely commercial side of the industry, and is quite as dull and prosaic as digging potatoes.
 But there is another side which is full of thrill and excitement. Taken as a sport. it bears about the same relation to the most exciting salmon or tarpon fishing that those sports bear to the pursuit of the shore clam. One day last March a 91-foot bull whale. struck but not vitally injured lowed the Puma around and across and up and down Placentia bay for three days before a killing shot could be sent into his huge body. Reversed engines throughout the fight failed to tire the monster. Again and again he charged the littlo vessel, and ramming was avoided only by the quiekness of the steamer. After A hours of this. there came the oppor- tunity for a killing shot.
 The Humber had a 2S-hour struggle with another off Cape Spear The Cabot had 19-hour fight with Gn SS-footer Six to 12-hour runs with danger in every minute of them are frequent. When killed. the whales are taken to shore stations where the oil is tried out. the whalebone. now worth about S12.000 a ton. is extracted. and the refuse ground up for fertilizer

OF INTEREST IN DELAWARE
Information Concerning Geography, Population, Etc, in Geological
 Survey Volume.

The doughty little state of Delaware, the first of the 13 original states to adopt the Constitution, contains 1S4.- 735 loyal inhabitants, of whom only 7.5 per cent. are foregn born. This and many other statistical and geographi- cal facts are contained in "A Gazet- teer of Delaware" compiled by MT. Henry Gannett and recently published as Bulletin No. 230 by the United States geological survey.
 The gazetteer contains a list, alpha betically arranged, of all the stations, villages, towns, cities, creeks, rivers, and counties of the state, with brief description of each. A general descrip- tion of the state precedes the gazet- teer proper.
 Next to the surprisingly small for eign population, considering the loca- tion of the little state along the Allan tic shore, the most significant figures given are those relating to the per- centage of illiteracy. Of the total population ten years of age and Over 12 per cent. are unable to read and
  ever, mainly among the negroes. The illiterate element of the whites con- sisted in 1900 of only seven per cent of the whole number, while that of the negroes constituted 3S per cent. The state contains 30 697 negroes, five sixths of the population being white
 Almost one-half of the entire num- IC~ TNff f,,l, I, ! ,,f age are engaged in gainful occupations Of the males not less than S1 per cent are wage-earners, and of the females not less than IS per cent. Those engaged in manufacturing ocCupa- tions constitute 31 per cent. those in domestic and personal service 23 per cent, those in trade and transporta- tion Is per cent, and those in the pro- fessions four per cent.
 In 1900 there were 9,687 farms in the state, of which more than nine-tenths were operated by white farmers. Half of these were operated by tenants. The average size of the farms was 110 acres, which Is considerably less than the average size of the farms through out the country. The average value per farm of all farm property was $4,201, and the value of products per farm was S959.
 The total number of manufacturing establishments in the state in 1900 was 1,417, with a total capital of s41. 1.203. .239 and 9 1903 employees.
