Whale Captured Near New York

A 30-foot whale was brought ashore
near the Amagansett 1ife-saving sta
tion at 5 o'clock Thursday, after a
long and hazardous chase by Capt.
Gabe and Josh Edwards, this after
noon. The whale was sighted off the
beach early Thursday, swimming idly
back and forth about half a mile
from the shore, when with "Thar she
blows" and signals hoisted along the
beach the whole village was alive.
Capt. Gabe launched one of the
whaling boats, while his brother Josh
took charge of the other. The whale
sounded after. a short pursuit, but
soon reappeared. After several miles
were covered the leviathan approach
ed to within a few feet, when Capt.
Gabe hurled the bomb lance into its
side. The whale literally made the
sea boil, and the crews hastily with
drew their frai1 boats. His struggles
soon ceased, however.-New York

rHE AMERICAN BOY.

At the banquet of Baptist Young
People, Judge Neelan spoke on the
vitally important Problem of the
American Boy" In setting forth the
problem, the Judge suggested two solu-
tions He said that rs per cent of the
nations criminals today were youths,
that 80 per cent of these youths had
never had any Industrial education, and
that 80 per cent of the youths in our
reformatories never had received in
dustrial training. He believed that the
requirement of some useful trade was
one way of solving the problem.
The judge also called attention to the
fact that the very large proportion of
cases Of youthful delinquency arises
from the lack of parental control and
training. The facts abundantly con-
firm this opinion of the judge. and they
form an Indictment against the parents
of America. The Judge affirmed that it
was not the country boy for whom We
needed to feel specially alarmed, but
for the city youth, surrounded and as
sailed by the temptations that seem to
be a necessary part of our modern
municipal life. 1t is the city boy who
especially needs parental guidance, pro-
lection, control, but alas, these are the
day of the street gamfn, the kid, the
boy who like Topsy, never was born,
jes' growed. ."-Milwaukee Sentinel.
