tion of the Pennsylvanit. Maccabee
Home Association and the Macca
bees Home and Relief Association.
This announcement has just been
made by D. P. Markey, aupreme
commander, from headquarters
here.
The Pennsylvania Home Associa
tion was organized by William E.
Blaney of Pittsburgh. It has es
tablished a home for old, disabled
and indigent Maccabees at Chat
ham, Pa., with 300 Lcres of farm
land and a large dairy herd of
Holstein cattle.
The Maccabeea Home and Relief
Association was organized by Su
preme Commander Markey in lt»16.
Under the direction of Mr. Markey
who has been prominently identi
fied with the Maccabees for thirty
two years, it has contributed to
and needy members and their wi
dow* and orphans in their homes.
Both of these branches of the orrl^l
are supported in their .jhilanthrop
ies by small contributions from
members and others. The work
of the general branch also includes
loans to members suffering from
tuberculosis which are paid back
without interest upon recovery.
The two organizations hsd a com
bined capital of $500,000 in cash
and bonds on hand April 1.
The Maccabees have felt that
these two associations should be
amalgamated and more thoroughly
nationalized, and terms of this mer
ger have now been arranged. The
home at Chatham will be enlarged
and improved and it is the purpose
of the Maccabees, according to Su
preme Commander Markey, to
make it one of the finest homes of
its kind in the country.

SHARKS BATTLE
WHALES; DEATH
HONOLULU, T. II., May 21—An
unusual buttle between monsters of j
the deep was witnessed by 'members |
of tile territorial legislature and!
therr guest1, while traveling between!
the Islands of -Oahu and Molokai on!
an In-jpuetion tour of the leprosarium!
at Kalaupaipa and tlie rehabilitationI
tract at K'tunakokul, Molokai.
A smooth, glassy sea was broken1
suddenly, about a mile from the ship, j
by the broaching at‘»one wthalo and;
then a second, leaping clear of 1110 1
water and then plunging into the sea |
as though they were playing. Pro-j
sunatbly they won sounding hut they i
were down less t.ian ti minute and |
appeared again. I tping high In tlie|
air. Next the whales reared their!
ungainly head , above the water and j
seemed 'to hi' pinning slowly on
bheir tails alike large loirs.
At this prrim the vessel carrying'
the legislators came sutificiently close j
to tiie whales to make the move
ments of tlie mammals dearly visible!
from the decks. It was found that!
the whales, instead of playing, wore!
being attacked by two thrashers, or
h|jge sharks, which are remarkable I
tor flic le,ngth of their tails.
Time after time Clio whales rose,
above file surface. They writhed and i
spun around, it was explained by the!
ship's officers, in an ttffort to shake j
off the thrashers.
“When the whiiS? sounds he tries
to lose tlie^thrasher in the depths."
said Hopceaentative G. I’. Wilder, an
authority on marine life. “The!
thrasher, being more nimble, divot!
under the Whale and prods him in the
belly, forcing liitu to tlie surface
again. |
“At soon as the whale broaches, j
the thrashor hammers him on the j
snout. Tiie bread flak s lifted iu tin*]
air, tbait look as though .Lilt) whale,
had grown another tail between ills
shoulders, belong to the thrasher.
“Tlie whale cannot stand that sort
of punishment very long. Every time
the thrasher hammers the whole’s
head under waiter 'before he has time
to fill his lungs with air, lie grows
weaker. Ultimately, ho drowns, for
i u whale must have air, and if ho can
not obtain it, lie suffocates.”
Finally tlie Ibatile was left astern
; by the legislators’ vessel. The strug
gles of toe whales had passed almost
; into the death flurry. The Interval
I between their roarings from the
: water had grown so short tlr.it they
wore in the air most of the time,
spinning slowly in aniaii circles. The
oml of the struggle came after the
whales had passed from view.
