tells his story. l will give it to
you in his own language as near
as possible: "When ship got broke
I jump on ice with some more my
mates and take what grub we can
find. / no can find compass so for
long time / study what part we be
wrecked in. I know we long way
from place where we get grub
and it be winter l 'fraid for freeze
to death. Well all the rest, for
there were eleven others, told me
to be boss. I at last find compass
and soon make ready to 60. l tell
every man he no get all the grub
he want, but if all do as l say we
yet thru all right if we no freeze.
1 been whaling in desc place for
twenty years and I tell dem it take
us about forty-fve days to get to
Point Barrow. We had grub
enough only for little while. Well
we travel over the ice fast we can,
took us long time to land, then we
found we had no grub left. I tell
the men not get afraid, we End
something to eat. | tell you now
what we est. No snow was on the
place and there was grass and moss
and muscles in the water. | tell
you boy I eat grass and like him
too. Some of de others eat some
too, but I soon see they want to
sleep. I know what dat means.
Some of dem already 60 crazy and
dey drink the salt water. I tell
dem wake up-we 60 on. No use,
four my men die here, de rest go
on. A few more days two more
die and I feel soon we all go. Dat
night what were left of us laid
down on the cold ground to rest
for a while for l know now we on
ly a few days off from grub. You
see dat boot you got on your foot.
I bad boot like dat. I take him
off and eat him. So do de rest.
Dat boot save our lives. Next day
we reach Point Barrow. We find
most all the rest of the other ships
crew there tho many we never saw
again. Well we get grub here but
soon find grub short here too.
Native runners who had been sent
for our relief come back and say
big ship come bot no can reach us.
White man speak him send clothes
aud deer. Bimeby deer come and
CLOTHES and we eat plenty when
ice break up ship come and take
us away. But tell you boy you
get wrecked here you soon find
out what you go thru"
This is only a rude outline of
the hardships a whaler must at all
times look to. For no ship going
as far as a whaler does is ever sure
of getting back in safety. It goes
on for years without mishap
when we finally see in the papers
an account of loss of number of
whalers that have been caught in
the ice.
We left Franklin 8 Reef at last
and headed for Helschell Island.
What a host of recollections that
place brings to my mind as | am
writing this. There were no whales
to be seen now as it was in June,
80 we could sleep out our watch in
peace. But one thing that took
me long while to get used to was
this, it was always day. [ could
not understand this. 1t was as light
and the sun shining just as bright
at noon as it was at night. The
sun never set. When I get to win

how long the sun remains in the
sky without setting, also when it
sets and remains SO leaving the.

An Illegal Order.

While the.city code gives the chief
OF police of the city certain powers
and certain control over the men I'M

given him to make laws, such as 1t
is claimed he y making.
1t iststated that the chief has given
orders to the colored members of the
police force not to arrest any white
man, and that che stated in this con-
nection that he had enough white po-
licemen to arrest white men.
II this be true, and there seems
no reason to doubt it, the chief of
police hasIessayed to make a law not

Reeds Candidacy.

The extensive comment on the can
didacy of Senator Stuart F. Reed for
the Office of secretary of state, by
the newspapers OF the state generally,
irrespective of party affiliation, is of
that hearty and volunteer nature as
to Impress all with the welcome re-
ception the tidings of his nominal
tion. and election would bring to all
the citizens of the state. Wherever
Senator Reed is known in the state
and in fact he is known all, over the
state-the newspapers which have
mo- selfish interest to promote or to
crafty, are his warm friends and do
not, hesitate to say things about him,
that mean something: The Wheel
ing 'Intelligencer is not the least OF
these and its latest utterances as ito
the Reed candidacy are as follows:
One of the formidable aspirants
. for positions on the Republican state
ticket is Hon. Stuart F. Reed, of
Clarksburg. Mr.. Reed is candidate
for the nomination for secretary of
state, nd has developed very large
amount of personal strength entirely
independent of contesting factions.
In the primaries in both Monongalia
and Wetzel counties, he received a
large plurality of the votes cast, and
is assured of theAsupport of these two
substantial counues in addition to his
own county otsHarrison. Mr.. Reed
is an able stump speaker, and has
done yoeman service for his party.
Heis moreoverca good business man
and a citizen of high standing. If
nominated he will add strength to
the ticket, and he will make val
liable public servant"
In addition the Intelligencer says:
Mr.. Reed has a large number of
friends in Ohio county, and generally
is very popular with the Republicans
of this section"
No newspaper knows more thor
oughly the qualifications of Mr.. Reed
that the Intelligencer and it gratifies
that paper greatly to have the pleas
ure Of presenting such capable man
to the consideration of the people.
The Telegram is rejoiced to see the
Z Intelligencer listed with the many
newspapers, who, are doing good
work in his behalf.

The wages OF sin is death. This is
as true as Gospel itself for it is Cos
pei. How truthfully 1t is told in the
fate that awaits Frank johnson. the
condemned murderer, upon whom
the death pntence has been passed.
The trial OF this man disclosed the
fact of his entrance into the sanctity
of another mans home. and, If his
own story be true, he led a life of
shame with the woman, whom he
finally Stayed, though he may have
loved her. The moral law does not
grant any man the right to do as
Frank Johnson himself said he did
He knew he did wrong, however
much he may have been encouraged
in It, and, there is nothing to excuse
him in that and certainly less for the
act of murder. Truly, :le earned the
wages given him and his fate ought
to be warning to all who would fol-
low in his footsteps in life.

THE ENERGY IN NOISE.

The war on the needless noises of the cities in becoming almost as noisy as those noises themselves. Beginning in New York, headquar- ters of the evil spirit of hideous din, the crusade is spreading to all the cities of this country and to many in Europe. Headed by woman, the campaigners ara determined to find relief from the continual uproar of harsh, nerve-rack- ing sounds that are almost mbearable to hundreds of thousands.
 But let's think twice before regard ing noise as necessarily a nuisance. Man thus regarded electricity, steam and water power before he learned how to use them.
 An Indiana man declares that noise may be harnessed and converted into energy for the propulsion of machinery. Maybe street cars may yet be run by their own rattle!
 At first the idea may seem visionary. But no doubt the first suggestion of cleo tricity as motive power was laugh cd at The man who first dreamed that potential energy might be hidden in coal was probably looked upon as a lunatic. Ignorance is suspicious of all new things.
 The water wheel, the windmill, the steam engine and the dynamo are but devices to harness and utilize energies that were going to waste. Science can not create energy. It can only localize and supply it. It can turn waste to use.
 Some day, when the millennium is very near, even the city smoke nuisance may be turned to some purpose.
 The noise of great city is only the waste and overflow of abundant ener- gies. The ideal machine is noiseless; it is owing to the defects in its mechan. ism and the taking up of lost motion that some of the energy put into the ihdShinc SSSdPcS HI tuc AoAAu Ol uOlSC. All sound not harmony marks waste of energy. To utilize it is the problem.
 Nothing is impossible in this age There is little that is improbable Dur ing the past century many natural forces have been diverted into useful chan nels and made to furnish power, light and heat. No rational mind can imag- inc for an instant that the possibili. ties have been exhausted.
 It has been proved in thousands of great furnaces that it is economy to save, by complete combustion, the fuel that goes to waste in smoke.
 It is not at all absurd to hope that it may yet be proved as good economy to save the energy that goes to waste in noise.

How !" YeHow Boy Melted Into
 Dago Red

Gold coins are getting scarce in Globe.
 Bills are plentiful.
 Although a year ago it was almost impossible to finde q one or a two.dollar bill in an hours search, you can go into any business house and secure a stack of them for the asking-that is if you have their equivalent.
 The banks arc full of them.
 This is due to the fact that the gov. ernment has ceased to pay express on deposits of gold shipped from the na- tional treasury to the national banks. As the banks have, to pay their own ex. press, they take bills instead of gold as the express is naturally cheaper.
 The gold gradually drifts back east and the customers who used to laugh at the westcrners for carrying gold, are now compelled to pack it around be- cause they cannot secure bills. Another thing that makes gold scarce here, the local bankers say, is the fact that large New York financial houses are gather ing up the yellow metal in anticipation of demand from London, Paris and Berlin.
 This disappearance of gold locally dates back to the panic days. When withdrawals from the local banks were fast and furious, there was noticeable demand for gold-especially among for eign born citizens-Italians in particu lar
 Local bankers mistrusted that tin can banks were doing thriving busi- ness and they immediately stopped pay ment of the yellow stuff. It was not an uncommon thing to see dozen or more sun burned sons of Italy lined up be- fore the paying teller's window with a big roll of bills which they wished to exchange for gold-but the answer was generally shake of the head and from this incident the yellow metal is now known in banking circles as
