New Bedford. Aug. 19.--It looks like old times on the wharves of this city for the whalers are coming in with heavy cargoes of oil and whalebone. whether the whaling industry is or Is not tn process of revival no mere out slider can say. Even the wise are not wise as to next year and the year after. Some of the authorities in this ancient whaling port believe that the tide has turned, or-to change the metaphor that the New Bedford whalermen have again struck oil. Others say that the ships for the last year or so have been more than ordinarily lucky, but that the best catches of today would have been considered but slim fares in the brave days of old. For naturally in such a town there is always more or less signing for the glories that have departed and contrasting of the figures of the sos with those of the present doubting Thomas against enthusiastic Peter Those who are hopeful hold that the Jonah has been lifted from the whale business; the others continue to croak their Jeremiads.
 What is apparent, however, to the landlubber is that something Is doing in the whaling fisheries just now. One stands to see sights on the harbor front that recall even If faintly tales of the intrepid mariners whose exploits Burke imortalized.

 great number of vessels and men were engaged in the whaling industry before the Revolution, and. after the disturb ances of the war, during all the early years of the nineteenth century. The banner years were 1S56-9. Then began a decline In tonnage extending down to 1902, since when there has been slight increase. The destruction wrought by the Confederate privateers did much to spoil the industry A par ticularly great disaster befell when in June, 1865, the Shenandoah, entering Behring Strait captured and burned twenty five vessels. Other misfortunes followed after the war was over, as when in September, 1871, fleet of thfr- ty-three vessels had to be abandoned in the Arctic Ocean, all hopelessly crushed in the ice. the 1900 men on hoard making their escape after oerilous tourney over the ice foes. Again in 1876, twelve vessels were left in the Arctic and in 1888 five went down in the terrific gale off Point Barrow. Above all, however, the competition of the petroleum industries and the grad ual disappearance of leviathaus from waters in which they were formerly numerous have reduced whaling to the present low estate. The great business built up under the management Of man from the neighporing village or Fairhaven has effectually removed the likelihood that there will ever again be

Tombstone, Arizona, Well Named.

The people familiar with the history
OF Tombstone. Ariz.. are inclined to
believe that there is something In a
name. Tombstone in 1878 became the
center of attraction in Arizona to the
pioneer prospectors when the first
mines were opened up at that point.
The population quickly increased to
over 5000 and It became the center
of mining activity in the Southwest.
The last census gave the population
as 400. The mines are worked out
and the population has drifted away
to more prosperous camps. Therefore
the town has indeed come to merit its
name. for 1t marks the burial spot
OF many blasted hopes.
Many another Western mining town
has had the same history. though few
have SO aptly told 1t to the world in
their titles.

rate is fixed by the Commission it
cannot be lowered by a railroad.
Should an emergency arise calling for
a decreased rate. the railroads or
shippers would have to appeal again
to the Commission, there being no
latitude allowed. whatever the cir

rate has been the rule, but no such
concession is made under the pro-
posed legislation.
