WHITE BABY WHALE,
The Second of It* Species, Captured
In New Englund Waters.
Chicago Chronicle.
A novel find was made by a fisherman
at Provincetown. It was a baby white i
whale and is the second of the series !
ever seen so far south of the cruising i
grounds. The white whale is almost pure !
white in color and has no dorsal fin, but
a low ridge Instead, and the one found
by Joe Lema was of thl3 class.
The whale was on exhibition on the
fish wharf In this city last week and at
tracted much attention from fishermen
and scientists. The variety Is an in
habitant of the arctic seas and visits the
River St. Lawrence, where numbers are
Been yearly. One was brought from that
river alive in 1857 and exhibited in this
city. Another was killed in Province- |
town harbor about that time, but not
one of the old fishermen could name It,
although the veteran ichthyologist Na
thaniel Atwood pronounced it identical
■with the one displayed In Boston.
The specimen just found is a baby, or
half grown, measuring a trifle under
eight feet in length, with a skin as soft
as velvet and of a uniform light gray
color except upon the under body, which
Is pure white, and its teeth, which pro
trude through the gums, attest its tender
axe.
Whales are more than usually plentiful
off the Massachusetts coast this fall. A i
family, consisting of a bull, cow and calf, |
was seen gamboling off the Wood End
live saving station the other day, and the
same schooner Jennie passed two large
white whales off Cape Cod. The cre"w
of the Jennie saw the whales at a dis
tance for some time, and when off the
end of the cape one of them passed di
rectly beneath the vessel, and the men
judged it to be eighteen feet long.
The presence of these marine monsters
In these waters at this time is accounted
for by the vast schools of mackerel, upon
which they have been feeding, and which
they have probably driven down from the
north.

FASTED THREE WEEKS
SO SAYS OTTO FELTZDAIEH, PICK
ED IP BY THE POLICE

Went Into an Unoccupied House for
Shelter mid Became Worse So
Rapidly That He Was Unable to
I/cave the Place In Search of A«
sitttance—Seriously 111 With Pneu
monia.
For twenty-three daya Otto Filtzbauer !
claims to have hidden away a recluse I
in an unoccupied house on Hester street, I
near the fish hatchery, without food or
warmth until, when found by the police i
yesterday, he was ill from exposure and j
starvation. The man was poorly clad, |
without shoes or stockings and extremely j
filthy. His feet were frost-bitten, while j
his emaciated condition corroborates his
story of privation, and he was so ex
hausted that he could scarcely speak.
Under his thin clothing he had stuffed a
lot of excelsior to keep him warm. Filtz
bauer was removed to the city hospital,
where the physicians say he is very ill,
shewing sympton:s of acute pneumonia.
Filtzbauer is a German and cannot
speal: English. Through an interpreter
he told a rather rambling story of his
self-banishment to the old house. He
said he was a stranger in the city, sick
and without means, bo when he came
upon the unoccupied house he crawled in
side. His condition grew rapidly worse,
and he could not leave the place. Wait
ing and hoping for someone to come to
his rescue, Filtzbauer says he remained
helpless, without food or drink, for
twenty-three day?. He remembers the
length of his suffering, he says, because
he scratched a nark on the plastering of
the walls as the days went by. He fre
quently called for help, but was so weak
that his voice scarcely sounded through
the room, and no one on the outside
heard him until yesterday.
The sick man was discovered in his
terrible plight shortly after 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when Marcus Mossong,
a dairyman living near the unoccupied
house, heard a faint cry issuing from the
plaoe. He investigated and found Filtz
bauser lying exhausted on the floor. The
Margaret station police were at once no
tified, and took Fiitzbauer to the station.
Here he was thoroughly warmed and
given some ford, when he was hurried
to the hospital.
The house where Filtzbauer was found
was formerly used as a railroad board
ing house. It is located on the river
| bluff, within a short distance of the fish
| hatchery and close to the Burlington rail
road yards. It has been unoccupied for
some time, and the only house in prox
j imity is that of the dairyman, who went
Ito the unfortunate man's rescue. The
road passing the house is not a graded
street, and comparatively few persons
travel it, which may account for the fact
that Filtzbauer was not earlier discover
ed.
When the police reached Filtzbauer he
| was unconscious and apparently dead.
His face was thin and pinched, deathly
white, and his limbs cold. He lay oa~*he
bare floor, without covering of any kind,
while his body was in a revolting state
of uncleanliness. Filtzbauer revived at
the station, but lapsed into unconscious
ness again on the way to the hospital.
The physicians say the man had beyond
doubt undergone extreme privation, and
was suffering greatly from lack of food,
but were somewhat skeptical as to the
length of Filtzbauer's suffering. The doc
tors say a sick man could hardly have
lived through such a long period of star
vation and exposure, but Filtzbauer in
sists that he lay in the house twenty
three days.
He is twenty-nine years of age and a
laborer. He says he has an aunt Mrs
Josephine Geier, living in this city. His
condition is regarded by the physicians as
precarious.

HAS HONORED LABOR
FATHER LAWLER SAYS THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH HAS MADE

SERIES OF SUNDAY MEETINGS

Pastor of the Cathedral and Rev.
F. B. < oivrlll. of the Flrat M. E.
Church- Prominent Speakers Who
Will Address Future Meeting*.
Assembly hall was packed to the doors
yesterday afternoon, the occasion being
the first of a series of public meetings
held by the ministers of the city and
members of the various labor organiza
tions.
Rev. David Morgan presided, and intro
duced the Misses McDaniel, who favored
the audience with an Instrumental duet.
Mr. Morgan then Baid that the question
of holding these semi-monthly meetings
had grrown out of several conferences
held between the ministers and represen
tatives of organized labor concerning cer
tain matters at the state penitentiary. It
had been decided to make the experiment,
and there was every indication that it
■would be successful. Scarcely had the
echoes of Bishop Potter's address at the
People's church died away when requests
came from all sides to inaugurate the
movement. It was expected in the futura
to have address* a from Bishop Gilbert,
Samuel Gompers, Archbishop Ireland and
Miss Jane Addams, of Hull house, Chi
cago. The Sunday before Christmas Bish
op Gilbert would be the speaker at As
sembly hall. Mr. Morgan then introduced
Father Lawler and Rev. F. B. Cowgill, oi
the First M. K. church.
Father Lawler said in part:
It is certainly encouraging to see this
magnificent audience desirous of hearing
the treatment of vital topics, and it is not
less encouraging to lind that the clergy
men of this city haxe expressed a will
ingness to lenu active co-operation. If
any additional lignt can be thrown on
the problems of me Industrial world—if
the oond of friendsnip between the em
ployer and the employed can be strength
ened—if false ideas concerning the
cnurch s attitude toward labor can be re
moved from the minds of people, the gen
tiernen who have begun this movement
will be amply rewarded. My principle is
that he who stirs up a feeling of discord
between different interests —who sets
class against class —may well be branded
as an enemy of society, while he who
teaches sound principles, who tries to re
move the difficulties and abuses which
exist between capital and labor, who tells
of the rights ana privileges of the one as
well as or the other, performs a patriotic
duty toward the community in which
he lives. As it is my privilege to deliver
the opening address, and as others wiil
treat different phases of this vast sub
ject, I shall confine my remarks to the
work of the church in dignifying labor.
What has Christianity done that it should
receive the thanks of the laboring classes?
To it we owe immortal thanks for its
mission in the domain of labor. "Let us j
honor labor," is the motto which has been
on its lips from the beginning. One of
the great blessings which the Christian
religion conferred on humanity is the re
habilitation of labor in the public estima
tion. To it belongs the glory of having j
rescued labor from the degradation into j
which paganism had plunged it. Though i
many a beautiful tribute be paid to the !
dignity of labor by gentile and Jew, yet, i
in the course of ages, paganism regarded '
it as humiliating and degrading. Hero- !
dotus found a contempt for labor among j
the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Thracians,
Scythians, Persians and Lydians. In an
cient Rome, as elsewhere, slavery struck I
a fatal blow at the dignity of labor.
There as elsewhere contempt for labor
brought ruin to the empire. In harmony
with the general sentiment of his coun
trymen, even Cicero considered workmen
as people of no account, as barbarians.
Breadwinners, wage-earners, laborers
were contemptible in pagan eyes.
Into such a state of society Christian
ity came. If the lot of those who work
with their hands has been ennobled, sanc
tified, since then; if the sons of toil are
held In high esteem the world over, let
it not be forgotten that the Christian
religion must be thanked for it. We need
not be surprised at the change wrought
in the mind of the ancient world in re
gard to labor, if we remember that the
Founder of Christianity set the example.
The Savior of mankind was known as a
laboring man. "Is not this the carpenter,
the Son of Mary?" they asked. By living
the life of a mechanic, of a laboring man,
He shed a halo of respect around the
workshop. Little by little His principles
gained ground until labor was restored
to its original dignity. Gradually the
words operarius and operarla, working
man and working woman, which for cen
turies had been terms of reproach, be
came expressions of honor. Down
through the centuries the church has al
ways stood for the rights of all her chil
dren. They who talk of an estrangement
between the church and the laboring
classes fail to verify their assertion. Let
them visit the Cathedral from 6 a. m. to
12 Sundays and witness the church-going
qualities of our working men and our
working women. I have spoken of the
glorious mission of the church in uplift
ing labor. I might also tell of the
magnanimous deeds done for religion by
the sons of toil. They have not been un
grateful. As they have been called the
vii- era of our nation, so may it be said
trnit they have done more than their
snare in erecting religions monuments
from ocean to ocean. They are not
Btranpers to denying themselves com
rorts.ln ihrlrown homes for the glory of
the house of God. He that would find

of self-sacrifice for God must look for it

Rev.'F. B. Cowgill announced that he
could heartily indorse the views of Father
Lawler While religion was largely made
up of classes, no one should believe that
relations between the church and labor
| were strained. This was proved by th
large audience in attendance on this
meeting. Quite a number of the best
union men were church members He
was glad to :?ee that ministers were so
willing to unite with labor. For hi« own
part, the speaker said, he conceded the
right of every branch of industry to or
ganize. There was in the various unions
a vast amount of intelligence, good in-

about Doan's Kidney Pills it was difficult
for me to attend to even the lightest

tent, candor and spirit of fair play. This
he recognized, and felt that they should
be met, on the part of employers, by an
equal amount of Intelligence. And he be
lieved that there was already enough for
a basis. For it was hard to believe that
the existing conflict between labor and
capital t-hould go on forever unappeased.
Personally the speaker's sympathies had
always been for the workingman. His
father had been a farmer and had several
hired men. They ate at the same table,
slept in as good beds as others of the
family, and, as a farmer's boy, he had
slept with them. There was no distinc
tion. The interests of the farmer and
hired man in his early days were mutual.
If relations between capital and labor are
changed today he did not believe it was
because human nature had changed. That
was the same all over the world. But
systems had materially changed. The ex
isting conditions between employer and
employe kept them wile epart. Great
combinations of capital had created in
dustries so vast in theioramifications that
many employers did not know their own
workmen. They never got together to talk
over matters face to face. It would be I
better if they could do so, but it was not
so. It is now impossible to bring them
together so closely as it was in former
years.
It shou'd be remembered, however, j
that the employer of today is no more ■
a monster than he used to be. Now he !
is absorbed in business, in charge of a j
vast business machine that revolves sys- j
tematically and without much regard for ;
the humanities of life. There were sev- i
eral things necessary, in the opinion of ■
the speaker, to harmonize differences be
tween capital and labor. One of the es- !
sentfals was law conceived in a spirit of j
fair dealing. Some good laws had al- i
ready be^n passed. The speaker alluded |
to the time when street car conductors i
and motornieri were exposed to the win- j
try blasts unprotected. A law stepped in !
and said that vestibules must be provided j
to protect them. As years went on, Rev. j
Cowglll said, he believed other benefi.
cent laws would be enacted for the up- ,
lifting tnd protection of the laboring '
man. Anarchy should never be upheld, j
but there was a certain kind of anarchy j
among millionaires that was certainly !
reprehensible. Corporations that violated j
the interstate commerce law were guilty
of a certain kind of anarchy. Anarchy
is lawlessness, and It could be said of
such corporations that they were law
less. Of course there were some evils
which could not be reached by law. He
favored arbitration in its widest sense.
On the question of Sunday labor, Mr.
Cowgiil was quite emphatic. He knew,
he said, that people would say that he
advocated the abolishment of Sunday la
bor in order to get people into churches.
But that was not, by any means, the
principal reason. Rest was the main i
thing. Every man needed one day in
each week in which to rest. All indus
trial systems should be so arranged that
a man need not work seven days in a
week.

RESIDEXCE PROPERTY OX THE UP
PER FIATS DEVELOPS MARK
ED ACTIVITY
One of the Humble Tenements Wns
Sold So Often In One Day That
Vendor and Vendee Had to Call
on the Police to Arbitrate.
One of the little "shacks" on the Upper
| levee, near the foot of James street,
! changed hands several times yesterday,
! though no transfer of the property was
i recorded in the register of deeds' office,
and at midnight the second claimant held
! possession, while the third person claim
! ing the property held a $2 lien on the
place.
The dispute over the house arose over
the desire of Michael Hochwimmer, the
original owner, to dispose of the place
j and his alleged readiness to sell to any
I number of purchasers. The house Is a
small affair, like many other dwellings in
the neighborhood, appraised by the owner
at $20. Edward Kavalsky, living on the
Upper levee, just this side of the high
bridge, heard that Hochwimmer wanted
to sell the house, and opened negotiations
toward Its purchase. His idea was to
move it to the site of his present home
and thus enlarge his dwelling. The land
is government property, so only the house
figured In the sale. Kavalsky says he
closed the deal for the house, and paid
Hochwimmer $20, obtaining a receipt for
this amount. During the afternoon he
went with his son to make arrangements
to move the house. One end of the little
building was gotten on a roller, but here
the house movers were brought to a
stop in their work by the appearance of
John Weis, another levee dweller, living
near the house. Weis wrathfully demand
ed to know by what right Kavalsky was
carrying off his property, and ordered the
! father and son to let the house alone.
He said he-owned the place, and wanted
the house to remain where It was. This
was news to Kavalsky, who thought he
held the title to the house, and a consul
tation followed. Weis is said to have
I exhibited a receipt for $20, alleged to have
j been signed by Hochwimmer, in payment
for the house, but this did not settle mat
ters, because Kavalsky also had a like re
ceipt, claiming also to haVe purchased
the house. No compromise could be ef
; fected, as Weis insisted on retaining pos-
I session of the place, so Kavalsky went
to the police with his troubles.
When he had told his story at the cen
tral station, Officer Houska was sent out
j with him to find Hochwimmer. The lat
i ter was loea>.ed on the levee, near the
disputed house, and placed under arrest.
At the station he disclaimed having twice
sold the hou3e, declaring that he had dis
posed of the place only to Kavalsky. As
it was a matter of more concern to the
disputants themselves than any one else,
they were allowed to discuss the deal at
length, when Hochwimmer finally agreed
to return $20 to Kavalsky. He had only
$18 in his possession, however, but Ka
valsky took this amount, and Hochwim
mer promised to pay the additional $2
today, when he was released from cus
tody.

step of a caboose when the train was
running at twenty-five miles an hour.
Every man of the crew did it in those
days. It was not merely an accomplish
ment; it was something they had to learn,
for which they had use in their business
every day. In those days a flagman prac
tically had no other duty than to protect
the rear of his train. The books of in
structions were very explicit on this
point, and the word "immediately" was
so prominent that you could see it about
as far as you could see the book itself.
The moment the slack came in the train
after the engineer had whistled for brakes
the flagman was supposed to jump off
and run back to hold up the next train;
and with trains running under a five-min
ute limit a man had to be particularly
nimble. While men were not specially and
officially instructed in the art of jumping

Fuel for Force
Your body must have
force, nervous force, mus
cular force, digestive force.
Fat is the fuel used to
supply this force. If you
are weak in any of these
forces, use more fuel.
The cod-liver oil in Scott's
Emulsion is the best fuel
for this work. Your nerves
grow stronger, your muscu
lar power increases, and
your digestion improves,

"A HANDFUL OF DIRT MAY BE A HOUSE
FUL OF SHAME." KEEP YOUR HOUSE
CLEAN WITH
I —— —
on and off moving trains, still a brake
man had no chance of being promoted to
I flagman if he lacked nerve or was other
i wise unfit for the practice. There are
sometimes fat flagmen now; there were
none then.
The block system has been chiefly in
strumental in doing away with train
; Jumping as a fine art. By this system
every train Is assured of an absolutely
! clear track for a certain distance. If for
! any reason a train comes to a stop be
i tween two signal points a flagman must
I go back, but this is only in the nature
! of additional precaution. The flagman is
j no longer the sole protector of a train In
' the rear, and the trains are under better
: control on account of the air brake and
I other appliances.
It would. be hard to say how fast a
train a man could jump from. In general
it depended much upon the man. Men
have jumped from trains running at the
, rate of thirty-five miles an hour, and the
first step they took when they struck the
ground was about a rail length—thirty
feet. Sometimes it was easy for them; at
other times a depression or an elevation
of an Inch under your foot would be
encugh to make every muscle In your
body sore for a week, although you were
able to keep your footing. Nowadays, ex
! cept in rare cases, a man has no busl
j ness, and is assuming an unnecessary
risk, in getting on or off trains running
faster than fourteen miles an hour.
Wonders of the Locomotive.
Ainslie's Magazine.
The story of the locomotive sounds
pimple in the recital. The wonder of the
tiling comes, into view only when one re
flects on the speed and nicety with which
lumbrous parts are made to do their
duty. The piston and connecting bar
of a modern locomotive weigh some 600
pounds. When the speed is sixty miles
an hour these parts travel back and
forth five times a second. Ten times
a second, at the end of every stroke, the
piston head is at rest. It must pass
from this condition to a velocity of
1.800 feet per minute in one-twentieth I
of a second. The drive wheels measure
more than a rod at every revolution,
but when going: sixty miles an hour they
must turn more than 300 times a min
ute.
