GREAT FISH,
Called the Skillagalee, Put Up {
Fierce Battle Before Yielding,

From the Boston Journal.
Eighteen feet from the tip of his snout to
the tall, the largest fish that was ever
brought into wharf came in yesterday on
the Ida Silva. swordfisherman, having
been captured after fight only equaled
by John Boyle OReilly's flight with the
amber whale" For twelve miles the mon
ster towed dory containing Everett Dow
dy and Daniel Mcdonald, who had harpoon-
ed 1t, thinking 1t was swordflsh. A score
Of times 1t turned and attacked the boat,
a hundred times 1t sought. the bottom. en-
deavoring to pull the frail dory down after
it and only being prevented by the length
of the harpoon rope.
The fish was styled a skillagalee or large
billish by the authorities on wharf but
never before was one of that species known
to grow to half its size.
All day yesterday the animal was on ex-
hibition at the store of the Gloucester Fish
Company on Atlantic avenue. and q won-
dering crowd marveled at its proportions.
Its tail measured six feet when extended
it's side fin was nearly two feet long and its
huge dorsal was nearly four feet. It had
a sharp nose about two feet long as hard
as Roman sword, and its head was larger
than a SwOrdfiSh.
Daniel Mcdonald told Journal man the
story Of the capture. "A week ago." he
said, "in dead calm Dowdy and put off
In a dory. We had rowed but short dis
rising, and as he reached the surface put
a harpoon into him. Then l saw that he
was like no swordfsh that ever lived. He
tore around in the water, creating enor-
nous waves, and then dashed at the boat
He hit it number of times with his body,
but his sword was so short In proportion
that he was unable to use 1t.
Then he started to run away. The Zine
drew taut, and we tore through the water
like = torpedo boat. Twenty knots we did
il we did one, and dories aren't made to
stand strain like that.
'After while it tried to ease up, but
each time we pulled taut on the rope. This
finally tired him out He was bleeding all
the time. and at last. five hours after we
harpooned him, he turned over. Then VIC
started to pull back to the ship. She was
fully ten miles away. and the monster,
which weighed ], 400 pounds, was not easy
to move even in the water. We finally got
back. completely tired out 1t was a great
victory"

GIRLS FIGHT WITH WILDCAT.
Knocked It From Tree With Stone
and Beat It to Death With Iron Bar.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Miss Helen NJ. Gookins. aged nineteen,
who lives with her widowed mother on a
ranch near Neenach Post Office, in the An
telope valley country. not far from the
northern boundary of Los Angeles county
and nearly sixty miles north of this city,
proved to be possessed of more bravery
and nerve few days ago than most men
can truthfully boast of. Wholly unarmed,
she attacked a large wildcat. which had
crouched as if to spring upon her. and after
\ desperate fight, during which her clothing
dangerous beast.
With her mother Miss Gookins is engaged
in raising Angora goats. of which they have
a large herd. During the last month or
more she noticed that nearly every week
several of the young goats were missing.
The foothills are infested with bobcats and
mountain lions, and the tracks of these ami
mails near the corral told the fate of the
kids. A neighbor shot several wildcats near
there. but still the raids upon the goat flock
continued
go to the home OF a neighbor several miles
from the ranch house. Instead of taking
the road she decided short cut acrosS
country. AS she was going up a hill a shGft
distance from deserted house in which
she and her mother formerly lived the mule
gave evidence of fright and refused to pro-
ceed. For a time Miss Gookins could see
nothing to alarm the animal, which contin-
trail. The daring young woman dismounted,
hitched the mule and went on foot to in
vestigate. She did not even have a riding
whip.
AS she approached small tree overhang-
Ing the trail she saw a wildcat on one Of
the lower branches. 1t snarled and spat at
her. but did not retreat Instead of run
ming Miss cookins made a detour and ap-
preached the tree and cat from the hill
above. Thinking to frighten 1t. she hurled
large stone with all the force that her
strong arm could exert at the cat She
struck the animal squarely on the head,
knocking it from the tree and stunning it
for moment. Then size ran to the aban-
doned house in search of a weapon. She
found an old two-pronged pitchfork both
points of which had been broken off, and
returned. She tried to stab the cat to death
with the fork, but the bIunted prongs were
not sharp enough to penetrate the tough
hide.
The animal fought fiercely, but she man
aged to pin 1t down by holding the fork
upon its throat. She showed 1t downhill
toward an old gate nearly 200 feet away
Several times the claws of its hind feet
struck the young woman's skirt, cutting
long slashes. Near the gate she found a
bar of iron. and with that she beat the
wildcat to death. Then she tied the body
or the animal to her riata and, attaching
the other end to her saddle dragged it
home

CLAY" "LIE," "sIT," "sET."
Really the Cause for Wonder is That
So Few Errors Occur.

Prof. T. r. Lounsbury in Harpers Magazine.
When we take into consideration the mil
lions of times in which lay and lie are con-
founded in popular speech. and the petty
number Of instances of such confusion that
can be CLEANED from the most exhaustive
study of all our great authors, we recog-
nize what 1t Is that constitutes that con-
seEsus of which Quintilian speaks as the
authority to which we all have to sub
NIT.
No better proof indeed is there of the
right to rule which inheres in the collec-
tive body Of great authors than the fact
that SO few errors of this sort occur in the
heat of composition or pass unchallenged
in revision. The wonder must always be,
not that they happen. but that they hap
pen so rarely. Least Of all should lin
guistic students make their appearance, If
they do appear. a matter of reproach, when
we find a similar confusion between set and
sit in the writings of a prOfessed philologist.
The late George Perkins Marsh was one of
the foremost promoters of English scholar
ship. To the students of the former genera
struetion; they were an inspiration. Yet In
the second on his lectures on the English
language he speaks of person giving "a
cluck with his mouth not unlike the note
of setting hem" One would naturally sup
pose that linguistic scholar. who was in
addition a stern critic of usage, ought to
know sooner than any one else that, though
The confusion of the two verbs Is. however,
50 common In conversation that 1t is liable
at any time to appear in print. The only
thing remarkable about the example lust
given Is that it should occur where 1t
does

Another Field for Philanthropy.

FROM the boSton transcript
There are so many things suggested for
the multimfllionares to do, that it is not
strange they halt and hesitate. But no.
where among all the objects in the vast
range of American giving, from marble
medical colleges to orchestral music, Is the
great cause OF the American theater to be
found. 1t must be pretty low down to have
earned so singular an isolation. In all the
giving has anybody been known to set aside
anything for raising the common level of
American cultivation through the drama?
And Is not this specially puzzling, eonsid-
ering how immensely fond of the theater
the American people are and how much
money they spend in going to the play?
Perhaps Mr.. Carnegie would say that peo-
pie must learn to read before they can get
the highest good out of the drama, which
embraces literature and the fine arts; while,
of course. SO moral millionaire as Mr..
Rockefeller. who has probably never en-
tered theater. would not wish to promote
or even countenance anything so manifest
ly tending to immortality.

Meanwhile Toots was behaving himself so
scandalously that he brought two or three
sound wallopings upon himself before he
had been twenty-four hours In the hands
of his temporary keeper. not to mention
several sound cuttings at the paws of larger
and wiser dogs in the yard. whose food
Toots attempted to collar for his own pur-
poses. Toots was pretty well subdued by
Saturday morning, about thfrty-six hours
after he had passed into his new keepers

keeper was too busy to notice.

Forced to Abandon Their Bath.
Meanwhile about thousand bathers had
assembled around the Getbyes, and, from
comments upon the masculinity Of wo-
man who would fondle a mad dog. they
fell to muttering things about the danger
of permitting such an animal to live In
place where there were so many children
So the Getbyes were forced to abandon
their bath and to repair to their bathing
pavilion, Mrs. Getbye with the victorious
Toots In her arms marching defianty ahead
of her gloomy husband
The proprietor of their hosiery, after d
searching inspection of Toots. told the Get
byes that he'd break an unalterable rule
of his house and permit them to keep Toots
along with them during their stay, and that
afternoon Toots was bathed and powdered
and prettied up with a pink ribbon. Inc

cops at the station Of the finding or Toots.
appeared at the Getbyes' hotel that even
ing and explained to them the circum-
stances of the dogs arrival In Atlantic
City, and. after hearing the story, MRS.
Getbye was so grateful to him for his
good intentions that she made Getbye give
tine baggageman $5 for his trouble.
The Getbyes' vacation was pretty well
punctured-at least Getbye's vacation was
by the turning up of the dog. When they
went to a band concert on the pier. or to
a vaudeville show. or for stroll upon the
boardwalk. Mrs Getbye worried for fear
that Toets might get lonesome In the hotei
room. and coaxed Getbye into returning to
the hotel with her about o'clock every
evening. before the game was well UNDER
way. During their afternoon promenades
on the boardwalk Mrs. Getbye insisted
upon having Toots, led by chain. with
them and Getbye swears that they were
known from one end OF the BOARDWALK 70
the other as "the bughouse couple with the
pet mad dog.
How did the brute know that we'd gone
to Atlantic Cfty?', said Getbye in response
to a question when they returned to Wash
irgton from their vacation last week. Il

right enough I bet he'd be only six days
behind US II we went to the Island OF Su-
matra I thought that we'd lost the mutt

up, disconsolately. "but any time I win
