DEATH OF THE BTG SEA COW
One Of the AquSrium's Attractions Found
Dead I'm Its Pool,

The big sea COW at the Aquarium died
suddenly on Monday last It was apper-
emily well and in good condition on Sunday
night, but on Monday morning it was found
dead in its pool.
This big manatee OF sea COW, was one
Of a pair, male and female, received here
from Florida on June S, 1904. The male,
tho smaller Of the two, died about two
months ago Of hemmorrhage Of the brain,
due TO the penetration Of the brain by
parasites infesting the body. The death
Of its mate Is believed 10 be due to the same
cause.
The Aquarium has now had on exhibition
three manatees. The first one showp here,
which died Of bronchial pneumonia some
thing more than year ago, survived here
five months.
Big and burly as they are sea cows are
somewhat delicate and difficult 10 keep in
captivity. OF the other two the male
lived in the sea COW pool for eight months,
while the female was kept for ten months
and eleven days.
Both these sea COWS became quite tame.
and they would both take food readily
from the hand. They lived most on eel
grass Of which they consumed great guam
titles. Last winter when the ice over the
eel grass from which supplies for them
were ODLalued was 80 NulCh tDat the grass
could not be reached the manatees were
fed on lettuce, to which they took very
kindly.
The big sea COW which has Just died was
8 feet 4 inches in length and feet and S
inches in girth around the shoulders back
OF the fippers. It's girth around the neck
was feet and inches.
It's fippers measured foot and inches
IN length, inside measurement, and it's tail
in the widest part measured 2 feet. The
sea COW weighed about 500 pounds.

Manager Temple and he took them
behind the scenes. There ell the ballet
girls were summoned before the agents
and submitted to Inquiries concerning
their birth and the date thereof. Several
OF the girls looked under 10 and not few
flashed marriage certificates. Some Of the
foreigners became scared at the questions,
because they seemed to think they we're
up against some kind Of a Government
inquisitlon. A few Of the girls promised
TO produce their birth certificates. None Of
them would admit being under II.

From q busted Concern Which Edison
Bought Out-DeclSiOn Far Reaching
Judge Hazel, IN the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern District Of New
York, on Thursday handed down a decision
for the plaintiff, the New York Photograph
Company, enjoining Thomas A, Edison, the
Edison Photograph Works and the National
Photograph Company from operations in
this State.
For several years the New York Phono-
graph Company has had exclusive licenses
to use, exhibit and let monographs and TO
sell and dispose Of photograph appliances
in this State, The licenses were procured
from the North American Phonogaph
Company, Of which Edison was at one time
president. Some time after the granting
Of the licenses the North American com
pany went into the hands Of receiver.
Edison personally purchased all the assets
Of the company at a receivers sale. Later
he organized the National Phonogaph
Company. For several years the new COM
pany sold and leased monographs and sup
plies in this State, disregarding the licenses
held by the New York Photograph Com
pany. The latter company finally brought
suit to protect It's rights.
The decision handed down Thursday
is supplemental 10 one rendered by Judge
Hazel last january in which he directed
Mr.. Edison and the other defendants 10
account 70 the New York Photograph Com
pany Judge Hazel at that time declined
to grant an injunction in respect to future
sales on the ground that the exclusive
licenses we're no longer In force. John C..
Tomlinson and Louis Hicks. counsel for the
New York Photograph Company, got re-
hearing, resulting in a decision which en-
titles the New York company both 10 an
injunction and an accounting. The in
junction will prevent Mr.. Edison from
selling Photographs, records and supplies
in this State except through the New York
company.
The decision Is Of more than local in
terest, as there are several other subsidiary
companies In different parts Of the country
whose licenses secured from the North
American Photograph Company are sub
stantially the same as those held by the
New York company. Several OF these
companies have suits pending and others
are arranging to bring suit.

Southeast Blow.

NANTUCKET. Mass, April n.-The life
saving crew at the Coskata station re-
ported this afternoon that a small schooner
disappeared Oh that place suddenly during
a heavy southeast blow to-day and Il IL
feared that her crew persisted. There is
a possibility that the craft was enveloped
In a fog bank and went out TO sea with II,
hidden from the view Of the men on shore.
The schooner was having hard time
in the gale when the steamer Petrol passed
her a mile outside the bell buoy, but no
request for assistance was made. The
life savers sighted her about the same
time, but FIVE minutes later she disappeared
suddenly, and Il IL believed she foundered.

William c. Burke, president Of the En-
pire Building and Loan Association Of Jer-
sey City, charged at a special meeting OF
the board OF directors last night that there

It was the duty Of the directors TO request
the Commissioner Of Ranking and lnsur-
ance TO investigate the ASSOCIATIONS affairs.
He refused TO take any further responsi-
bili,y for a failure OF the officers TO act.
In anticipation Of trouble a police officer
was detailed TO attend the meeting at the
presidents request. The policeman was

The Truth
About Whiskey.

1t has been said that eighty
FIVE per cent. of all whiskey is
adulterated. This is not true.
Blended whiskeys when mixed
by reputable and scientific dis
tillers are pure, and a straight
bottled in bond Whiskey like
HAMI Rye MUST BE PURE.
The Government supervises
the entire process. The Whis-
key can't be adulterated. The,
merit of straight whiskey lies
in the way it is made, and this
is why AAM RYE is the best
Straight whiskey in theworld.
Every bottle is at least four
years old and is stored in
heated warehouses since date
of distillation, making the whis-
key as we'll matured as an eight
year old whiskey in ordinary
storage.
