ton in the District Supreme Court
against the Chaplin Sacks Manufactur-
ing Company to be permitted to per-
petuate the testimony of Alfred A. Kid
WELL who is dangerously i'll and not
expected to live long. Chief Justice
Covington has cited the company to
show cause why a commission should
not issue to take the desired testimony.
Through Attorney L. ]. Mather the
court is told that August IS, 1915,
while a driver for the company, Alfred
A. Kidwell struck his back against the
low roof of the company's wagonshed
and sustained fracture. No suit for
damages has been instituted. it is said.
because such action would be defeated
by his death, but under the circum-
stances such action would accrue to
the mother after his death, and the
recovery of damages might be jeopar-
died If Kidwell should die without
giving his account of the accident.

some good fishing at Harpers Ferry

and arrived at the place Saturday

Shenandoah river muddy. but that of
the Potomac clear, despite a report to
the contrary.
"Dulin got five strikes. but I did not
get one," said Col. Hurley. Just as

to the stream. His efforts were quite
successful. as when he decided he had
made a day of it, he had landed

Proudly carrying his catch from the
stream, Mr.. Harr started to his place

COST OF MEAT VS.. DIVORCE.
High Prices Reduce Consumption
and Modify Disposition.

II welcome the increasing cost Of meal
because it will not only tend to lessen
the consumption of meat, but will lessen
the number of divorces" said DR.. D. H.
Kress. In health talk at the gospel tent,
18th street and Park road, Wednesday
evening.
He went on to elaborate this statement
by explaining that meat forms a stimu-
latng diet, and tends to heat the blood.
This causes people to become irritated
and enter into quarrels which often end in
the divorce court.
THE advance in the price of meats
therefore will bring a milder man and a
gentler woman" said the speaker His
reason for this statement is that the in
creasing high cost of meat will cut down
the present enormous consumption OF that
article.

SEA SERPENT Of 1851
IS RECALLED BY SHARKS
Reports of That Date Tell Of Mon
ster Seen by English Party
From Halifax.

The appearance of sharks along the
Atlantic coast is somewhat similar to
the sea serpent scare which pervaded
the same locality in 1851, according to
some of the older scientists and sailors
The first sea serpent to be seen by
mariners or scientists described from
accurate observations of the first to see
it as being from eighty to one hundred
feet in length, with a body the size of
a large barrel. with thirty or more pro-
tuberances compared to four-gallon
casks was first seen in Penobscot bay
After the trustworthy testimony of
several sea captains in command of
casting vessels in our New England
sea coast, the sea serpent became
reality and was no longer a myth
So much testimony was gathered and
volunteered that the Linnean Society OF
Boston appointed a committee of emil
nent scientific professors to collect evil
dence on the subject. They drew up a
report giving in detail the statements
of the various witnesses who had seen
the creature from the shore or at sea,
some of them claiming to have been
within ten yards of the monster.
Swan at Rate of 20 Miles an Hour.
1t was reported to have come to the
surface in calm and bright weather.
his head being usually carried about
two feet above the water and being
of a dark brown color. 1t was also re-
ported that the creature swan at the
rate of twenty miles per hour.
According to the statement published
in the Zoologist in 1851, relating the
experiences of a party of English Off
GERS on a fishing excursion from Hall
fax to Mahon bay. the existence of
the American sea serpent was reality
and not the local trumped-up wonder
which was believed to exist only in
| the mind Of some Yankee skipper by
some persons.
The fact that the sea serpent's course
was not confined to places on the
north Atlantic coast, but went as far
south as Cape Hatteras, a latitude of
35 degrees. was a well verified state
ment in those days.
