November Gales.

During the succession Of recent storms on
the chain of lakes, over fifty vessels were
either stranded or foundered, and the sacri-
fee of life, so far as learned, is in the neigh
borhood of ninety. Death and desolation
have come into numerous homes, and gen
cral gloom prevails marine circles all around
the lakes. Tnc losses TO the underwriters are
very heavy. Many OF the stranded vessels
will doubtless be rescued. but the losses will
be great nevertheless. The gale-or rather
series Of gales-were the worst in
every respect that have swept our
inland lakes since 1867, as shown
by the number of disasters that have oc-
CURED. \ careful count shows that there
were about fifty-eight vessels which either
went ashore or foundered and are IA total
loss. The following is list of nearly all the
disasters.

MARYLAND Railroad During the last
two weeks, contractors for work on

line from Shippensburg to Everett

miles from Somerset and the Serrick
lev tunnel 1900 feet long. For the
distance. about the heaviest work will
have to be done on this road of any

People at Coney lslani last Sun-
day were very much amused by the
appearance Of two Cinnamon and Il
Negro dressed up in the regulation
dude costume, tight trousers and
CATERS, long body coat, short gray
overcoat, wide brimmed hat and all.
The Cinnamon looked very forlorn in
their giddy make up, but the Negro,
who was a we'll known character
named whistling Jake fairly rcvelled
in his glory. Everybody was curious
to know what it meant, as the fellows
carried no signs or advertisements
and tried to preserve the orthodox
vacuous dude stare. 1t afterwards
turned out that they were me ant to
advertise "a Friendly Trip" new
play which ]. G. Ferguson produced
at the Tventy-third Street Theatre,
on Monday night for the first time
1t is very silly, very slovenly con-
structed play, but it was so well ad-
vertised that it drew large attend

play a dude, but he has no more co.,
ception of the character than whist

run week yet its paper" goes q
begging.
"Whistling Jake is a character
in his way, and one of the best known
individuals who make a living by
their wits. He is really an exquisite
whistler and during the winter h'
frequents drinking resorts where PEG
sit down and eat, drink and talk af-

make as high as ten and twenty dol
lars of an evening, and have enough
wine and liquor given him to send
him home drunk, for the fe low is
thrifty enough not to spend his own
money for what the temperance peo-
pie call "rum." In the summer he
works such places ss Newport,

he lives or sleeps NJ one has been able
to find out. H, appears and disap-
pears. I met him on the Troy bolt
last July on his way to Saratoga. He
told me that he had just came on
from Newport, where the season was
very bad. He was soon surrounded
by party of admiring negroes, and
he at once launched forth into So ort-
ing talk. He was willing to bet $500
against $4,000 that Courtney could
beat Hanlan, if a race on the level
was made. As none of his compatrl-
OTIS had $4,000 about him, he an
nounced his willingness to bet from
$40 to $1,000 that he had IL man in
training out West who could knock
Sullivan out. As this manifest offer
likewise failed to elicit response, he
turned around with a Disguised look,
and remarking "you gemmen ain
got no grit" began to whistle. When
h e passed around the hat he collect
ed very nearly seven dollars.

is not kept secret at all, but the
word is passed around at the hotels
in as natural and self evident man
ner as if the opening of the shooting
season or the oyster season were an
nounccl.
A steward of a down town restau,
rant said to me the other day: I'VE
never keep game birds on our bill of
fare. We cant afford it and run an
honest business. At all fash places
reed birds on toast advertised.
Now | will wager you that oat of a
hundred birds advertised as such not
twenty ever saw reeds. They are
sparrows. There are more sparrowS
shot and shared for human c"nsu'np-
ton than you have any idea of. The
price used to be twenty cents a doz'
en-. Now SO many boys and idle men
have gone into the business that the
price has gone down to ten cents

Magnetism the' New Source of
Health.


DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Hea.
Ter, respectfully informs the public thai
he has opened an office in the city oil
Los Angeles. DIR. Robbins discards the
use Of surgery, drugs, minerals and all
other medicines in his treatment and re.
lies solely on the powers of magnetism
An experience of several years in the
Australian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands OF
persons, enables him to assert with con-
tidence that he can cure diseases which
have defied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breathe is
charged with it. 1t is the vital fore %
emanating from all persons and that
which connects the soul with the body.
In support Of this theory he cures acute
pains instantly, local pains in few
days, and builds up the most shattered
constitutions in q short time. DR.. Rob-
bins, who has worldwide reputation
for his extraordinary cures of all diff.
cult and complicated diseases, possesses
power to relieve and cure all kinds of
diseases. DIR. Robbins diagnoses dis
eases free of charge without explanation
from the patient. If you wish referen-
ces, consult the patients now undergo
