MAN IN SHARKS STOMACH.
Huge Fish Killed After an Hour of
Terrific Fighting

PENSACOLA. Fla, November 10
After an hours fight. in which the fish
was perforated with rifle bullets, a
dozen men caught and killed yesterday
giant shark which Wednesday de-
vOured Jules Antoine.
Members of the crews of several ships
saw the shark grab the body of the old
man when he fell overheard and crunch
it between it's great jaws. Since then
there has been a general shark hunt in
progress. The captured monster was
over twelve feet in length
When the fish was cut open almost
the entire body of Antoine was found
inside, including the head, trunk. parts
of the legs and pieces of clothing The
boots were almost intact, but bore the
imprint Of the sextuple rows Of teeth.

osity than opposition. Curiosity disap-
peared after $3.50 women out Of the
100. 461 enrolled had voted at the polls
of 1888. A,cheerful acquiescence has been
the general attitude ever since.
The safest general statement that can
be made concerning the operation of the
reform is that it has disappointed in ap-
proXimatey equal proportions the hopes
and the fears of the eager partisans or
both sides. Woman has assuredly not
been unsexed by her political enfran-
chisement. The red ruin and the break
ing up of families which was freely
prophesied as inevitable has not been
realized. But if domestic life has not
been poisoned or embittered by the
change it cannot be said that public life
has received the moral stimulus which
was expected. Nobody supposed that
woman would make many direct contri-
buttons to the solution OF the problems of

Guests of the Kaiser.

Herr Won Bethmann- Hollweg and his
wife were guests of the imperial family
at dinner last night This recept:o on is re-
garded as a demonstration of Emperor
Williams unaltered confidence in his i'm
perial chancellor.
Before sending the gunboat Panther to
Agadir. Herr Won bethmann-Holweg said
i'm beginning his speech. ne had proposed
that France and Germany should open
negot atons for the purpose of reaching
basis for the recognition of Frances
political position in Morocco, the eco
nomic guarantees to be obtained by Ger
many and colonial compensation. France,
however. avoided positive proposals, mean
while going ahead with the occupation of
Morocco The dispatch of the gunboat
Panther then was necessary. and pro-
duced the desired result. He denied that
Germany contemplated the acquisition of
Moroccan territory. He passed over the
accusation of weakness, maintaining that
German prestige rebuked those demand

when threats and Boosting were thought
necessary" the chancellor said. Ger
many IS strong enough to dispense with
such shield rafting. and will know how to
draw the sword when the time comes.
The emperor steadily insisted on strict
adherence to our program at all stages of
the negotiations IN full consciousness
that every action of a great power may
involve the fateful question of war or
peace. and in full readiness to uphold the
honor of the nation with the sword.
Nobody can tell whether war some
time will come declared the chancellor,
but my duty is to so act that war which
Is avoidable and not demanded by the
honor of Germany must be avoided" This
statement called for applause.
Expects No Praise.
The Franco-German crisis, the chancel-
lor said, was SO acute on approaching
final settlement that, ending peacefully. it
was worth more than all discussion of
arbitration and disarmament. Then sum
ming up the advantages OF the agree
ment, he concluded:
Il expect no praise and fearsno blame"
Herr Won Bebel socialist leader in the
reichstag. made violent attack upon the
chancellor and the foreign secretary, Herr
Won Kiderlen-Waechter, and in denuncia-
ton of the Morocco-kongo agreement.
Reports current that the crown prince
had communicated with one or two of his
brothers with a view to making repre-
sensations to his father disappearing of
the chancellor's policy regarding Morocco

evening:

GOLD WINTER AHEAD.
Pennsylvania Prophets Say SO, Any
how, on Nature Dope.

The annual convention of wealth
er phophets' OF Berks county was
held at Maxatawny, about a mile
from here, when fifty farmers met
TO make the annual predictions for
the coming winter, says KunZ-
town, Pa, special. Some declared
that the winter will be long and
severe, while others maintained
that 1t will be mild.
Several declared that they are
preparing for a hard and long win
ter, because the REQ squirrels and
chipuunks nave become very busy
laying in their winter food store,
even going to the extent of col
iecting green chestnut burrs, break
ing them open and hiding away for
tuture use the unripe chestnuts.
The farmers declared that they new
er before knew the squirrels to op-
en- green chestnut burrs or to be-
gin storing food SO early in the
fall. The fact that the chestnut
crop was an unusually large one
tnis year is said to be a good rea-
son why the winter will be long and
severe, as plenty of nuts were pre-
pared for the tiny forest animals
to tide them over until spring.
Others said that ground hogs
burrowed their way into the earth
earlier than usual, which indicates
q cool winter. They say II has
been many years since the ground
hogs hibernated SO early. Other
prophets argue that thin corn husks
mean mild winter.
Tall Weeds Indicate Snow.
Some of the farmers contend that
the weeds have grown to an unusu-
al height this year, and that this
indicates a severe winter and lots
OF snow, since nature causes the
weeds to grow tall so that birds can
iced upon the seeds when the
ground is covered with snow. A
close observer of weather conditions
said: "A dry summer is invariably
followed by winter with lots of
snow. The average rainfall each
year is about six inches. We are
still far from the mark and we
can expect lots of snow to make up
for 1t. A wet fall always means an
early winter. This Is accounted for
oy the fact that the rain has al
ready cooled the earth and the
cold has good start"
