to the exorbitant interest charged.

AN ODD FISH.
Queer Marine Monster n Natural En-.
envy 10 whales.

Queer Marine Monster n Natural En-.
envy 10 whales.
While operating at IA fishery In Ad-
miralty island, Alaska, one summer my
attention and the attention Of the fish
ing crew were almost daily attracted to
a large marine creature that would ap-
pear in the main channel OF Seymour
canal and our immediate vicinity.
There are large numbers Of whales OF
the species rorqual there, and the mon
ster seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in schools,
and while at the surface to blow one
would be singled out and attacked by
the fish, and a battle was soon In order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals Of from
two to three minutes each, and then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur
face for thirty or forty minutes. As u
whale would come to the surface there
would appear always at the whales
right side and just about where his
head would connect with the body u
great long tail or FIN, Judged by five
fishermen and q number Of Indians,
after seeing II about fifteen times at
various distances" to be about twenty
four feet long, two and one-half feet
wide at the end and tapering down to
the water, where 1t seemed to be about
eighteen inches in diameter, looking
very much like the blade of the fan Of
an old fashioned Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the back
Of he unfortunate whale In such a
manner that 1t was a wonder to me
that every whale attacked was not in
stantly killed. Its operator seemed to
have perfect control Of Its movements
and would bend it back until the end
would touch the water, forming a
horseshoe loop; then with q sweep 1t
would be Strengthened and brought
owe and down on the back Of the
whale with a whack that could be
heard for several miles. II the whale
was fortunate enough to submerge It.
self before the blows came, the spray
would fly for a distance Of a hundred
feet from the effect Of the stroke, max
ing a report as loud as a yachts signal
gun.
What seemed most remarkable to ne
was that, no matter which way the
attacked whale went or how fast (the
usual speed Is about fourteen knots),
that great club would follow right
along by its side and deliver those ire
mendous blows at intervals Of about
four or Ave seconds. 1t would always
get in from three to Ave blows at each
Of the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself of the
enemy when 1t took Its deep sound,
especially II the water was forty
fathoms or more deep. During the day
the attack was always offshore, but
at night the whales would be attacked
In the bay and within 400 yards of the
fishery.
do not know Of any whales being
killed, but there were several that had
great holes and sores on their backs.
Questioning the Indians about 1t, I was
told that there was only one, that It
had been there for many years and that
1t once attacked an Indian canoe and
with one stroke Of the great club
smashed the canoe into splinters. kill
ing and drowning several Of Its Occu-

The ceremonies in connection with

J. Wilbur Chapman.

I. Wilbur Chapman, the famous Pres byterian evangelist. was born at Rich mond, Ind, June IT, 1859. His mother died when he was. 12 ysars of age. and his father when he was l9. He pur- sued his classical studies at Oberlin college and graduated from Lake For- - est university with the clas Of 1897. Later he studied at the Lane Theolo- gical Seminary at Cincinnati. Alter Occupying a pulpit at Albany. N. r., he was called to Bethany church. Phil, adelphia Here he commenced one or the most remarkable experiences along evangelistic lines ever recorded Tn America. In less than thre years there were added to the church membership more than 1000 souls on confession or their faith, more than half of them being men. During his pastorate lh this church he was permitted to en- gage in evangelistic work In Cincin- natl Cleveland and other cities. Tn 1898, pr. Chapman was called to the pastorate of the Fourth Presbyterian time, however. he resigned his pasto- rate in order to devote his whole time to evangehstic work. Since then he has travelled over the entire country and has won international fame as an evangelist.

A RIG PAPER.

The forty eight page Charleston Ex- port Edition" of The Columbia State was what we may properly call a buster The State gets out a good newspaper every day, but this issue was an illustrated object lesson from which all readers can learn a great deal about Charleston and other por- tions of the Atlantic Coast. We copy this explanatory word from its edi- torial:
 The mammoth Export Edition of The State has two great purposes. It is first designed to direct and concentrate the attention of the commercial inter- ests of the Southeast and the vast middle section of this country to the natural routes for commercial tratt1c, export and import. The natural routes are along the lines. of least resistance, and in this age of acute competition distance is the most formidable re- sistance to trade. Inaccessibility is the greatest handicap to commercial intercourse. In the days of savage America Indian trails sought the lines of least resistance as surely as suct courses are sought by running water, and later the wagon trains. pioneer developers, followed the same courses and these roads led from the then vast wilderness of the Middle West to the Southeast Before the days of freight rebates. before the art of giv- ing the artificial stimulation to traffic 10 favored communities, was developed, wagon trains brought the products of a wide territory hundreds of miles across the mountains to the great port of Charleston, and from that port ships sailed to all quarters of the globe, and brought back cargoes that were distributed far into the interior.

A FLOWERY EULOGY.

We have heard and read many eu- iogies on Jefferson Davis, but noth- ing of the kind that has come under our notice equals the one printed in The Elm City, (N. CD Mirror. If the writer is not a poet he may certainly be classed as a word-painter. and though his write-up Is fanciful, and sometimes extravagant. it gets in about all there was to say. But here 1t is:
 At all times and under all circum- stances he was the same Jefferson Da- vis--the grnad and matchless type or truest manhood and loftiest patriotism and undaunted heroism, and who wore at all times the pure white rose Of inn maculate honor. Yes, the storms of sectional wrath hurled their lightnings of persecution about him., but he heed ed them no more than the towering mountains do the storms that howl harmlessly at their invulnerabie base. Like rock-coated Gibraltar, while beat ing back the rushing waters of the storm-lashed ocean, and making their widest pillows die in ripples of spray against it's impervious bosom, so Jeff ferson Davis, stood calm and unruffled unmoved and immovable. unconquer- ed and unconquerable, and wore the duTeOlb OL do ioy elAiy oS U king doth wear a crown. Like some grand and majestic, heaven-towering mountain, lifting its awe-wrapped and glory tinted peaks far above the hurt and the harm of the laundering storms, so Jefferson Davis stood and lifting his towering excellence into the bend ing skies, he scarcely heard the storms of vindictivenesS that went hurling around his feet. And as the sky-own- ed eagle that scars far up in majestic flight, plucks the glimmer from sun beams with which to tint and burnish its radiant pinions, hears not the fee ble hissing of the slimy adder, on the earth beneath, so Jefferson Davis, in his grand and soaring sweep of supe- riority, and amid the pure and rarified atmosphere of his own conscious rec titude of purpose. heard not the hiss ings of islander that came from vile throats below, for his senses, far above the low and vile and little. and soar ing amid the blazing heights of his lofty and heavenly aspirations, were preparing to drink in the harmonies of the angels. And there he moved. majestic in the glorious completeness of a grand and imposing and we'll rounded life, royalty crowned and rich ly robbed with that kingly dignity and womanly tenderness which made him the admiration of the world and the idol of his people"
