Washington Rear Admiral Charles

ture at the New National Theater on the
disaster of his old battleship, the Maine,
illustrating his talk with views of the

Her Consolation.

Annie had a little duck which fol-
lowed her everywhere and was a great
pet. One morning she woke to find
her duck was dead. She shed many
tears. refusing to be comforted, until
her old "maums," with the instincts
of her race, offered deep sympathy in
well-timed words. Then Annie dried
her eyes and rushed to her mother,

New Bedford is again restored to
the map by the report of the master
of a whaling ship that was fitted out
in that port and has returned with a
record. The ship has brought back
to New Bedford more than 1000 bar
rels of whale oil of a value of more
than $4,000. This means probably
that Capt. Hagerty's crew captured 40
or so "leviathans of the Deep" which
is pretty good business when one con
siders that the whale oil fishing has
been regarded as largely a thing of
the past.

Children are so unpopular with land
lords that an Illinois legislator has
introduced a bill which provides that
1t shall be unlawful and to be against
public policy for any landlord to dis
criminate against families where there
are children under IA years old. 1t is
also declared to be equally %reprehen-
sible for any landlord to insert a
clause FORGETTING a lease in case a
baby is born to the tenant family or
a child is adopted. 1t is a safe bet
that this mar is a father and is not a
landlord.
