STRANGE MARINE MONSTER.
California Flsherninn Catcher Cnrl.
ODI Flnh AVelgliliiK 125 Poumln
with Rod and Reel.
Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of
Ihe Catalina Island band, Is a most en
thusiastic and picturesque angler.
Recently he made the record Jewflsh
catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth
•r morning he though he would inscribe
the tuna record also on his diadem, and
taking the Catalina hiked out after the
biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be
taken. He had uncorked but a small por
tion of his stock of patience when his reel
began to whizz.
| And then it whizzed. By consummate
skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from
getting away in the first grand rushes,
and then he began on the aggressive. For
an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight
lasted. It was a formidable-looking crea
ture that was at length brought alongside
the boat, and there was debate, after it
was gaffed, as to whether it would be a
welcome addition to the crew.
Hung up on the rack here, the creature
began to excite comment. To the casual
observer it was but a moon-fish, a rather
unusual catch, but occasionally caught
and brought in by being entangled in the
fishermen’s nets. This, however, was
caught with a hook and rod and reel,
something unknown to fishermen hith
erto. A •>+ f1Fh also showed a
radir-sl dffference between this and the
sword-fish
It? rv.'orc! Is rot so lorg as that of th©
gen'lire sword-fish of this length; the
| lower jaw is unduly elongated; it has on
its back a collapsible fin, which, when
extended, stands up 15 Inches above the
fish, but folds down Into a grove, until
it is unnoticeable; the tail is like the
screw of a propeller, and very similar
in appearance to that of the tuna.
The fish sharps are all guessing. The
like of this has not been seen here before,
nor can any enlightenment be had from
any books on the subject to be had here.
The strange creature is nine feet long
and weighs 125 pounds. The sword is
24 inches long and the tail is 39 across.
MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unbonded Government Cleric Carries
Money from WiinIi I met on to Hew
York in n Suit Case.
CoL Edwards, chief of the division
of Insular affairs, recently told the
story of a bureau clerk’s remarkable
trip a few days ago with $3,000,000 of
government cash. The clerk is Marion
E. Beall, whose home is in Fort
Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the
| officials kept th$ trip secret until after
[ the clerk had delivered his precious
burden in New York.
Under the direction of the insular
department the mints and the bureau
of printing and engraving have been
making money for use in the Philip
pines. To. Mr. Beall was assigned the
duty of overseeing the shipment of
the money to the island possessions.
The bureau of printing and engraving
turned out $3,000,000 in $1,000 bills.
The Insular department wanted to get
the money to New York. Beall went
around to see the express companies
about the cost of transporting the
treasure. “Eight hundred dollars,”
said each of the companies.
“That’s too much,” said Col. Ed
wards when Beall reported. "What’s
the matter with you putting the
money in a suit case and taking it up
yourself?”
"Why, sure, I can take it if you are
willing to trust me with it,” said
Beall.
The money was put in a suit case
and Beall, although not even under
bond, carried it from this city to New
York, whence it was shipped.
NEARLY WEDS~BRIDESMAID.
Minister Had Reached Fateful Part
When Bride, Realizing^ Situ
ation, Calls u Halt,
But for a sudden protest by the bride
the bridegroom at a wedding in St.
Mary’s church. New Britain, Conn.,
would have been married to the brides
maid the other day. Peter Wood and
Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en
tered the church with Stephen Ferry
and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best
man and bridesmaid. When the party
reached the altar the bridesmaid, in
stead of retiring in favor of the bride,
remained at the bridegroom’s side.
Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere
mony, but just as he had reached the
fateful part Miss Strader jumped up
and asked Father Winters to stop.
An explanation followed, the young
women exchanged places, and the
ceremony went on. The bridesmaid
had never attended a wedding before.
Famon* Old Clock Stops.
Thousands of Parisians who are in
the habit daily of setting their watch
es by the famous clock on the bourse
were filled with dismay the other
week when the famous timepiece was
seen to lose several hours in the
i course of a day and then stop alto
gether. For many years the bourse
clock has been considered one of the
infallible chronometers of the city.
Apparently the recent additions and
Improvements of the old bourse have
been too much for its delicate mech
anism.
Ly-nohbnrgr Getz a Reputation.
Lynchburg, Tenn., has won fame as
the first southern town to Indict a
white man for lynching a negro. Evi
dently, remarks the Chicago Daily
News, Lynchburg aspires to a civic
> reputation far above what its curious
ly suggestive name would imply.
No Immediate Danger.
Prof. Small, of the University of
Chicago, says war between Germany
and the United States Is inevitable.
There is no Immediate reason, how- j
ever, says the Chicago Record-Herald,
for the people of Boston to crawl un
der their beds.
