A Man with a Pet Whale.

Onasmnll island in the middle of the
South Pacific lives a planter, the only
white man on the island—which is full of
brown skinned folk—who cuts and dries
the meat of cocoanut, which he sells to
trading vessels. When any stranger stops
at his island he gives him of the best that
the island affords. He will get up'great
concerts and dances of the islanders,
above all he will take them out to see his
pet, which is perhaps the largest and old-
est animal that was ever petted .by any
man. The pet is a. sperm whale nearly
seventy feet long. He came through the
narrow entrance into the little harbor,
which is walled in by a coral reef, when
quite small, and remained until he had
grown so large that he could not get out if
he wanted to. The great creature comes
uptobe fed when the planter blows his
horn, and after his meal of a barrel of
chopped meat or fish, performs some won-
drous and amusing tricks, apparently
knowing whatris expected of him.—-Shef—

A Pigeon at Sea.

Messages by homing pigeons are un-
available at sea. Sea. birds, however, have
sometimes been used with good efieet. In
1845 Capt. Farley, of the Ann Baldwin,
saw a. Cape pigeon flying around his vessel
withn piece of wood dangling toits leg.
The bird was caught, and there was found
written on the wood, "Brig Camana, J.
Headless, commahder, latitude .58 dogs.
south, longitude 68degs. west.” 0n the
reverse side was: “Allow the bearer to
pass. May, 1815.” The Camana herself
afterward arrived at Arica, where the
Ann Baldwin lay at anchor, and Capt.
Hoodless at once identified his message.—

Watch Band Remover.

Among the recent patents intended for
a. limited section of the community is a.
watch hnnd remover for watch making
work. Two metallic strips are compressed
and nip the watch hand, while a. pin is
pressed down on the centerpost of the
watch, and a. slight relaxation of the hand
lifts the watch hand off the post. This
device prevents all danger of cracking the
dials, breaking the centerpost and losing
the watch hands, and however tight the
hands are fastened they are readily re-
moved—New York Telegram.

l AGREAT FINANCIAL FEAT.

I They Are Charged with Illegally Getting
Y $7,650,000 for Nothing—A Return

i of the Money Demanded—“71131:

' Mr. Gibbs a... to Say.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—To clear at one coup
the enormous sum of $7,650,000 is a clever
trick at any'trade, but to clear that sum
without as much work as stooping down
to the ground and. picking it up is a feat
that the foremost: financiers of the world
scarcely believe possible; and yet, as the
directors of, theChicago Gaslight and Fuel
company contend, that is exactly What
was done by Charles T. Yerkes, P. A. B.
Widener, W.‘ L. Elkins, Columbus R.
Cummings, Sidney A. Kent, Thomas Do-
Ian and W. W.“ Gibbs just about this time
four years ago.

The details of the operation. - whereby
each of the abovena'med gentlemen pock-
eted, as is claimed by the- gas company, a

just been explained by C.‘ "K. G. Billings,
tthice president of the company, in his
office at Michigan avenue and Madison
street. I .

“The present board of directors,” said
Mr. Billings, “found that on Sept. 15,
1887, the then directors of the company is-
sued bonds to the amount of $7,650,000.

“It appears that-the directors at that
time were also stockholders and owned 01
controlled all, or very nearly all,'of the
stock of this company. This stock they
had just purchased, for a sum exactly the

, same as that fer which they had issued

bonds. It is also found that after they
had issued the bonds they sold them to
the. Union National bank, of this city, and
the books of the company show that they
made-a dividend on the proceeds of the
sale among themselves. .

“After having divided themoney' they
received in the sale ofthe bonds, they still
owned the stock of the company, which
by degrees they sold out and received for
it the money they originally expended in
its purchase. -

i “Now,” said Mr. Billings, “I will state
the matter in a familiar manner, so that
you or any one else. can readily see how
clever the affair was. Messrs. Yerkes &
Co. bought out the gas company com
pletely, including its plant, gas houses,
works, offices, books, furniture, appurte
Dances and hereditaments. They paid f0.
this with good money. That transaction
was perfectly correct. - ' '

“Then, after they were in, they looked
around and said to themselves, This com-
pany is making good moneyand can Stand
being bonded. They went to work and
had a lot of bonds printed to the amount
of their original investment. Then they
sold the bonds and received the money for
them. Where did the money go? Who
got it? Certainly not the treasury of the
company. If not, then the directors them-
selves, and we know it by the record of the
dividends.

“Now this transaction, the issuance of
the bonds and the receipt of the money,
not only left the directors in possession of
the gas company’s property, but also re-
imbursed them for their expenditures, so
that you see they had secured the gas Com-
pany for nothing. The next step was to
sell their stock. This was done, and this
transaction left each of them with 3. mil-
lion or more in pocket without moving a
hair for it.

. Claimed to Be Illegal-

“Clever work? Certainly. No one dis-
putes that.

the country would be bankrupt. The
transaction of Mr. Yerkes and his friends
was illegal. We have sent a demand to
each of them, asking each to turn overinto
the treasury of the company the money
that he received on the dividend from the
sale of the bonds. The total, as you see,
will amount to more than $7,000,000, and-
will strengthen the bonds of the company
that are now out.

“Our lawyers say we. have a splendid
case. The transaction was illegal, and
the money must be returned to the treas
ury of the company, where it belongs.”

The present directors of the company
are Beron E. J. J ersemanowski, E. C.
Benedict, Walter Ferguson, W. H. Geb
hard, C. H. Wooster, C. K. G. Billings,
George 0. Knapp, C. E. Judson, F. S.
Winston and W. J. Campbell.

Mr. W. F. Furbeck, the vice president
of the Economic company, in the absence
of Mr. Yerkes in Europe, emphatically
denied the truth of the reports concerning
the action of the syndicate.

“The alleged information,” said Mr.
Furbeck, “concerning Mr. Yerkes and his
friends is a badly garbled rehash of stale
rumors several weeks old. The story of
the alleged stealing of the bonds is the
veriest bosh. A suit involving this whole
matter was begun some four years ago.
The very subject matter of this notice was
the subject matter of a. suit brought by a
man by the name of Addicks against the
Chicago Gas Light and Coke company
and the directors of that company several
years ago. That suit was dismissed at the
complainant’s costs. The threat of a suit
nobody fears.”

\Vhat IIIr. Gibbs Says.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.—Mi-. Elkins was
shown the above dispatch, but he refused
to say anything on the subject.

W. W. Gibbs said: “There is no ground
whatever for this suit, and my theory is
that the present proposed action is for the
purpose of intimidating.~Mr. Yerkes and
his associates who. are-now actively en-
gaged in the establishment of competing
gas companies in the city of Chicago, and
I think the proposed suit looks much more
formidable in the papers than it ever will
in the courts. I have not yet received the
notice alluded to, and my only knowledge
of such proposed action is through the
papers.”

Mr. Gibbs further stated that the parties
named owned less than 45 per cent. of the
capital stock. "

STORY OF AN EBONY CASKET.

It Contains a. Document That Means a
. Good Deal to One Married Couple.

In the dressing room of a. happy married
woman who lives in a Madison avenue
mansion there stands in a conspicuous
corner a small ebony casket with silver
trimmings. It is locked and has not been
opened for ten years. Few know its his-
tory, which is one full of romance and also
of food’for reflection for those on whom the
marriage yoke bears heavily.

A little over ten years ago the occupants.

of this home were married; The. wife had
been brought up in a. luxurious home and
was a member of gay social circles. The
husband was equally rich ,in worldly pos-
sessions, but with no liking for the round

4 of society’s pleasures. Hisyoung bachelors

hood had been passed in independent club
life and the sober enjoyment of his books
and pictures, for which he had a strong
taste. ' The honeymoon was barelv‘ over
before a. speck of discontent appeared on
the horizonof their lives. , 'It grew rapidly
and soOn obscured the sun of'their'weddcd
happiness. They mutually fretted under
the strain of the marriage bonds. He dis~
liked to be dragged to receptions and balls,
and she chafed , over his library inclina-
tions'and wa nted to keep the house gay with
guests and incessant going and coming.

At last the explosion came, and after a
full and free, discussion it was‘mutually
agreed that they should separate. As
there were no legal grounds of divorce in
this state they journeyed together beyond
the Ohio and consulted counsel. The laws
of the west would give what. each wanted
—-a. decree. They remained away long
enough to acquire statutory residence, and
on a certain day a decree was duly granted
severing the marital chains. The lawyers
in handing each a oopyof the decree ex-
plained to them that, although granted by
the court, it would not take e1? wt and
was so much waste paper until entered
and filed in the clerk’s office of the county
where the court was held. -

The lawyers’ fees were paid and each
took the parchment. Both felt free and
independent, but each hesitated to putlthe
final seal to the transaction. By a com-
mon decision arrived at separately it was
settled to return to New York, whence the
decrees could be mailed for proper'filing.

The return trip was on the sametrain.

'A conversation arose on the subject of

their changed relations. ' Their newly ac-
quired freedom puta difierent phase. on
the discussion. Explanations and expres-
sions of opinion were more tolerant in the
face of restraint removed. Concessions,
which afalsc dignity prevented hitherto,
were now broached as poshible had they re-
mained man and wife. In the end it was
discovered that it was not the tie itself
which was gzillin g and unbearable, but the
fact that it was a tie, binding fast and per;
manently. » ‘

The separation never took place. The
decrees were locked in the casket, to which
each carried a key. At first the casket
stoodin the husband’s library, butas years
went on occasional questions about it be-
came irksomc. It was sent up stairs to the
wife’s room, who in her turn tired of it,
and it was tucked in a corner of the dress-
ing room. But it still exists. and there are
those who will say that it holds lu its pos-
sibilities of freedom the unnlloyud happi-
ness of that home—Her Point of View in

Whether or not they now em; ioy men in
keep them posted as to the bills of fare in
competing establishments is not. known,
but a number of years ago a prominent
restaurateur knew everything that went

-. on the tables of his, competitors. He hired

men to go and eat at other restaurants and
bring him accounts of what they had and
how it was served, and then guided his
own business accordingly. No restaurant
keeper could put a new article on his bill
but what the eating spotters reported it,
and in a day or so it would appear also on
the bill of the sharp caterer. It was a
clever trick and brought good results, for

A QUEER CASE OF CATALEPSY.

A Dentist’s Remarkable Actions Due. to
the Influenéo of a. Cat’s Tooth.

A correspondent sent the following let-
ter to the editor of Hall’s Journal of
Health:

SIR—A case has lately come to my notice
which it occurred to me might be of interestto
your readers. You are doubtless familiar with
a process in dentistry known as the implanta-
tion of teeth, which is simply substitution of a
natural tooth in place of a lost one, either in'
its vacant cavity or, as in some instances. by
insertion in a. new and artificially formed one.—

The writer has a. dentist friend who was an.

enthusiast. regarding his profession, and espe-

cially in respect to transplantation, and like

other dcvotecsto science he did not hesitate to
experiment upon himself by inserting in his
own jaw, in place of a newly extracted tooth, a.

‘ veritable cat’s tooth, and waited patiently upon

the result of the experiment. - 1,1 (1 no time the
tooth became thoroughly rooted, but the effect
upon its po'ssessor‘ was something extraordi-
nary. His whole demeanor
change, andby no means for the better. ,
Instead of his woute‘d energy and devotion
to business he showed a disposition to lounge
about the house during the day time, selecting
the sofa, divan, easy chairs or even the hearth

- rug use. temporary dormitory, where he would

lie for hours together inn. kind of stupor. .But
no sooner won] .1 the night appear than he was
all alert, manifesting great disquietude and};
desire to roam abroad, particularly in the
neighboring back yards, displaying great abil-
ity in scaling the fences. He would be attract
ed by any little scratching unoise about the
house, while the least movement of an article
would cause him to dart forward. with fingers
widely spread, to seize it. From being former-
ly a great lover of dogs, he showed an over
wecuing dread of them, and (in one occasion
sought safety by shying up a. telegraph pole.
On moonlight evenings he was particularly
ill at ease, and insisted upon being admitted to
the house roof, whence he would wander from
roof to roof, ocbsionally omitting sounds in ex.
act imitation of the fascinating imitations
which romantic felines extend to one another,
but now and then interjecting an angry pro.
testes if spitefully repelling some obnoxious
intruder. Finally this state of things became
unbearable, not only to the members of his.
immediate household. but to neighboring fam-
ilies in the near vicinity, and. the health of my
friend becoming also ' seriously impaired he
was persuaded to sacrifice the prcsumable
cause of his nocturnal ecccntricitics. I am
happyto be able to state that my friend has
partially recovered his former mental status.
only now and then, under a fancied provocap
tion, “getting his back up." '

 

Danger in n “7e” Lighted Room.

The occupants of every room should take
into consideration that the amount of air
rendered impure by the lungs and the skin
of each person has been estimated to be ‘a.
little over three cubic feet per minute, and
that every gas light, or lamp consumes a
quantity of oxygen, and throws off its
poisonous carbonic substances, which,
when the air is motionless, must be taken
into the lungs, and with their sickening
influences scattered broadcast through the
entire system. Because you cannot smell
anything disagreeable in the air which you
breathe is no safe test for its quality, for
"custom breeds a habit,” and habit leads
to tolerance, and where tolerance is mush-
lished the olfactory nerve has been be-
numbed, and the atmosphere, although
reeking with filth, is no longer ofiensive to
one accustomed to its smell.

Becoming habituated to-any deleterious
odor does not insure immunity from con-
tagious ills, as many are in the habit of be-
lieving, and if they do not afiect'the breath-
er’s health immediately, that they are not
the less injurious. There is no human con-
stitution that will not prematurely sink
by continually inhaling a foul and con-
taminated air. The time of endurance de-
pends of course upon the strength of the
individual, yet no one of any intelligence
will doubt that diseased conditions will
certainly follow a prolonged state of lung
starvation—Hall’s Journal of Health.

Waiting All Round.

"Are you being waited on?” asked the
floor walker, politely, after the man had
been standingnt the counter for about three
hours.

“No, but I’m only waiting for my wife. ”

“The ladies will delay when theygoshop-
ping.” - ~

“Oh, she’s done shopping hours ago; I
think ~ she’s waiting for her change.”—

Hedges, of New York, was renominated
for secretary by Judge Curtis, of Bing-

There was no opposition to Mr. Hedges
and he was re-electcd by acclamation. A.

rlt Looks as Though a Big Scandal “’11!

, Be Unearthed by It.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7'.—-It now develops that
Charles E. Goodwin, who was fatally
shot by Bertram C. Webster, in New York,
was in "love with a married woman, who
had gone to South Dakota to secure a di-
vorce in order that she might marry him,
and not at all enamored of the actress,
Evelyn Granville (Betty Green), who was
living with Webster as his wife.

It further appears that the murder will
develop in a short time a big scandal, as
the woman referred to as seeking a divorce
is the wife of a prominent New York bank
Official.

Webster has not been found, but his
friends say that he will surrender himself
Friday.

months as a domestic. She had been miss-
ing from his house since the previous Fri-
day, and reading a description of the mur-
dered girl he went to see the body, when
he at once identified it as that of his miss-

she was married and had separated from
her husband, who she said was an iron
