BIGGEST OYSTER IN THE WORLD
Monster Columbia River Bivalve on
Exhibition in Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Lying upon the
floor of little shop on Fifth street is
the great twin throne of the king of
oysters"
His majesty in the original state
ruled over the vast beds in the tidal
waters of the Columbia river, where
he was by right of weight and of ma
jesty the absolute king of bivalves. In
all the world where oysters have been
known, from the wonderful oysters of
Britain, enjoyed by the Romans, down
to the little cove oyster that grew in
modest way around Fair Haven,
none has ever been known that can
compare with this great oyster of the
Columbia.
How the upper and neither shells
CHANGED to come to Minneapolis is
simple as story. A friend of Harriet
B. Whitfield, on leaving for the coast,
promised to send her something in the
way of novelty. Upon his arrival
there he CHANGED to go fishing, and
while after large fish in the tidal river
hooked on to a mammoth oyster. 1t
was bivalve that would easily weigh
two pounds and it contained a fine
pearl. Nothing would do but for him
to investigate the same bed, and while
prodding with an oyster rake the next
day the king of all the oysters was
brought from his home.
The bivalve was shipped to Mime
apolis, and when weighed it tipped the
scales at 981A pounds. The NAM,
moth was roasted in an oven that,
though large, would just hold it, and,
the meat had to be cut with carving
knife. Oyster steaks" was the bill
of fare.
The two huge shells are each about
as much as one can lift from the floor,
and toy boat floats about in water
in one of them. So it can safely be
said that Minneapolis has. owned by
one of its citizens, the shell of the
king of all the oyster family.

LoNewoRTHs WERE sNusREp.
Frau Wagner, Composers Widow,
Vents Ire on Them In Berlin,

Berlin.-Now that Mr.. and Mrs:
Nicholas Longworth have returned To-
America, the real reason for their
sudden departure from Baireuth is
revealed. At the time it was said
that the daughter of President Roose-
welt was annoyed by the ogling of
German "dandies," but it is now
given out that Frau Cosima Wagner,
who rules everything at the Bavarian
village, took advantage of the pres
ence of the Longworths to vent the
animosity which she has entertained
against all things American since
"Parsifal' was. staged and patronized
by the United States against her
wishes. -,
InexpIicably, the Longworths found
the hotels full" and were COM
PEELED to take refuge In a boarding
house. Then Frau Cosima caused the
command to go forth that the Long
worths' presence should be- practically
ignored She herself arranged to
snub the presidents daughter so
cially by ostentatiously emitting to
invite her to the famous soirees held
during the week, which are attended,
by all the celebrities. She also. ar
ranged that Mrs. Longworth Should
not be presented to her and the great
artists of the season during the in
termissions. which are always gay So
cial events.
The only genuine welcome accorded
to President Roosevelt's daughter
came from Nine. Schumann-Heink
who scandalized Frau Wagner by
rushing up and effusively embracing
the visitor In full view of q terrace
full Of people.
