FAMOUS SHARK KILLED.
Blamed For Death of Many People
At Port Royal HarbOr.

Old Tom, shark that has lived in
the waters of Port Royal harbor, ia
maica for 20 years and il known to
thousands OF travellers and seagoing
men, was put to death by the island
authorities several weeks ago.
The famous fish was one of the
sights of the West Indies. He was
to be seen every day in the clear wat
ers of Port Royal and was fed regu-
larly by the men of the British war
ship fleet stationed there.
He preyed upon the other fish in
the harbor and was equally as quick
in attacking human beings. His pres
enCe precluded the possibility Of sea
bathing by the sailors and assertions
among the crew of the British war
vessels were few, as none had the
fortitude necessary to swim ashore
when old Tom was in the vicinity.
The shark always could be found
near the Warships and the boatloads
OF tourists who daily went out to see
him were never disappointed. If he
CHANGED to stray away for few min
utes the loud beating of a tinpan
would invariably bring him back,
During the 20 years that old Tom
has been familiar object a number
Oh persons have lost their lives in the
waters Of Port Royal, due, it is be-
l1eVed, TO his man eating proclivities.
He was never seen, however, to kill a
person until a few weeks, ago, when
ne attacked native boy who had
fallen overheard from warship cut
ter. The sailors tried hard u raye
the boy, and although their efforts
were In vain, several well-directed
blows crippled Old Tom 50 badly that
ms capture q few hours later was an
easy matter.
When the boys death was reported
the authorities decided that Old Tom
must go. He was barely able to swim
when they found him near one of the
Warshlps and harpooned him. The
carcass was taken ashore and after
being mounted Will be placed in a
museum at Kingston.
Inc shark was nearly 20 feet long.
Native fishermen said he had the most
vicious teeth of any shark ever kill
ca Ia the vicinity OF Port Royal.
Among the articles found in his stom-
ach we're three fathoms of chain, a
gold watch, a marlin pin and a mis-
cel!aneous collection of nails, bolts
ana other small objects.

another. Such action at times seem almost Justifable. But murder done fir the sake of a glowing passion Is tune differenlt thing from the act cf this poor old man in Philadelphia. True. he killed for love. But how much nobler his love than that of tn" hot blooded youth or woman who wields the knife or points of gun from mo- tives of the more curnal love.
 There is no justification for the talk ing of a human life. A higher power than man has dominion over the giv- ing and the taking away of the im- mortal spark. and yet the act of the husband who needed the prayer of the suffering life companion and made the great sacrifice for her happiness has something almost heroic in 1t. Ger ta nly the woman who had husband capable at the end of half a century of married life of making this supreme sacrifice must have been a very hap py wife.

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, JAIN. 22, 1914.

Tomorrow night the baseball sea soh ends up in :, h!az, of glory on'y i:valed by that other great diamondl series played annually between thel two leading teams of the National and American leagues. In fact 1t may be- that the game tomorrow night is as important 10 Nome as Is the deciding eame of the big league championship tJ the cities represented in the con- the contest would indicate that this was the case and that the rooters for the teams which are striving sol manfully for the NUGGET cups in- tend to make the wind up of the sea son gala night.
 The relative importance of events is commensurate entirely with the view point of those effected. In Nome the winning of the NUGGET cups is of more importance than whether tn New York or the Philadelphia team won the American baseball champions ship. of course. on the other hand it is possible that the NUGGET cups might not appear as desirable to the batsmen of Connie Mack as the world pennant.
 Be that as it may, whatever Is good and seems important to person or locality is worthwhile.
 In this connection it is very much worthwhile for Nome to awaken to the possibilities which may be hers with tho passing of the present railroad d and steamship legislation now being discussed in Washington.
 The presentation of this measure fo the territory and the resultant debate and discussion in the houses of con- Alaskan and defused knowledge ol things Alaskan to every corner of tn United States. The newspapers of tn entire country have been teemins with the subpect of Alaska. It's re sources and its possibilities. ever sine tho railroad bill was introduced in congress. Alaska has been write about and advertised and every man who has the advertising habit will admit that advertising pays in any line.
 The deduction is quite simple. Thi advertising throughout the United States Is bound to bring results to the territory. It cannot fail to do so because advertising in the newspapers has never failed to bring results.
 The entire territory has been well advertised and will continue to be advertised through this railroad leg islation and the entire territory will b benefited thereby. But We are lltto o~ the beaten track here and also there are conditions in regard to min
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-01-22

ing operations around Nome that would seem to hold back her develop. ment
 It has been openly stated by people who know Nome and the conditions here that 1t isn't worth while for man or company to come In here with money for mining purposes These statements are made outside where they do good deal of harm and the reasons why it is no longer worth while to attempt to develop here are given with great detail Per haps some of these statements are made by "soreheads" Perhaps there is some foundation for them in fact. That would seem to be a matter open 10 discussion. But in any event thers ia undoubtedly still plenty of gold In the country tributary to Nome which it would pay outside capital to soI nfter.
 If the conditions here are such thatI the further investment of capital for, the purpose of developing mines is rrecluded through the domination t, people who will neither develop or al low others to develop there Is not much hope that the new interest being taken in Alaska will do Nome any arpreciable good except in SO far as she will benefit with the rest of the territory, and of course for the present this will be only in a minor degree.
 But If there is still room for people, to make honest investments here with q reosanble expectation of profitable returnls, then the people who are now being interested in Alaska should h"'w about it.
 "'here are many legitimate ways If informing the people of the country |" what Nome and the surrounding { TT tory has to offer in the way of in- 'llic' ment for the investor. The sug- ;'es ion has been made before in these columns that the matter of advertis- lrg Nome belonged properly to the 'hamber of Commerce or to some like '6y. If there is no such organiza- ion whose function it is to be con- !nually working for the prosperity 'l 'te city. then the merchants are he people to get together and see hat while the rest of Alaska is be- "@ 'd> tised and recommended to he "rop,e outside Nome is not left 7" tie .f dry rot Provided there is NDne that is worth advertising.

Wh.', a pitifui story came from, ni'"tnlphia yesterday How full ot, uiian interest and of heart interest," Is the tragedy of the old couple who lad u" v'l happily together for over fifty years only to part when the fec He old husband killed the mate of overl lalf Il century in order that she migh, esrape the '.:,:ble suffering that dis tas" had fought upon her
 t was ind ed humane judge i.' ."s.i lrac'icf lily a life sentence in S'Nt"g the tes.',.e old man seven yea, in the penitentiary for his crime. h deed there are many who will con- tend that he committed no crime in ending the sufferings of the woman who was passed all medical aid Ger tainly the husband did not consider it a crime to grant the request of his wife and kill her. For him 1t was ln ncbably the greatest sacrifice that ie had been called upon to make for The woman he loved. It meant tha he would be deprived for the rest of his devs of that sweet companiOnshin end help that had sustained him t'i ugh the long years of struggle l Ti:h the world. He would be withou l ,:e sympathy and understanding an encouragement that had made his life happy and strong through all the lcng wars of daily grind.
 I The lsband must have made the grand sacrifice when he put from him tie onl, thing he had in life. He will ht mind the years that are left t. him. The few years that he will spend behind he bars of a prison.
 The old husband is alone He will remain alone now until the end fol nothing can fll the place in hi. life occupied by the ONE woman.
 He will be alone. and yet. in his I prison cell the old mnn will probably be very happy. He will know in tho first place that there cannot many days pass before he will be going out on the long trail where he will fint the companion of his life keeping th< Ire bright beside the road against ht coming. People who have lived as dit this old couple are not parted by tn, 'l p! tnL nina called death. There is n; separation between them.
 Even now. during the few remaining days of his life. he will not be alone this sad old man. He will wander back over the paths he trod with her Her hand will be in his and togethe, they will live over the years in the nar-ew confines of the bleak prison cell. The old man is hardly to bs r,..ed. His life will be very sweet What there Is left of it.
 We hear so much far too much. in the papers of murder done through Jealousy. or lust. The jealousy which prompts some of these murders ' often called love. Perhaps 1t Is a fierce consuming love which canno brook the interference with another in the affairs of the loved one. It Is quite co: ceivable that man or woman would rather kill than give place to

Millions for Horses and
Mules in the u. 5.

Since the war in Europe began
horses and mules valued at 81,
$4,000 have been shipped from
the National Stock Yards here
to the French and British gov
ernments, says a dispatch from
East st. Louis, Ill. Contracts
have been let for 5000 to 13, 600
additional animals to be shipped
from this city, Little Rock, Ok
lahoma City, Memphis and Fort
Worth. The British government
is willing to buy 100000 horses
under contracts calling for the
delivery of the animals free on
board at shipping points; but
dealers cannot take such risks
as the expense of feeding train
loads of horses at sea ports while
the shipper waits for vessels
would be too great.

IL all to God in prayer. Civilization
strikes them blow when it should
give them crown, and their only
friend is he who broke bread with

We that are weary and heavy laden and
l will give you rest
Oh, America! The land of the free

worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion of human rights and the de-

nit our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstone by the ruthless hand

Shall we permit our faithful wives,

In rescuing our citizens from the

to our fair Dixieland the rule of the

the wage scale of industry so that the

Tobacco Crop a Failure.

| Lynchburg, Va, June d =
The drought, which has prevail
ed here for more than tw.
months, has done great damag,
and many farmers in this sectio,
will have no summer crops. Hun
dreds OF planters have been una

planted. 1t is said that ever
with favorable conditions for the
rest of the season not more than
one-tenfh OF a crop will be raised
Five or six large factories will
be without crop to buv Or
handle. The crop last year sold
here for more than 81, 500. 900.
The hay and spring oats crops

The drought has also been
