her down, stern foremost, splitting her open.
Benjamin, who could swim, struck out for
the shore through the heavy sea. When he
could get his head above water he filled his
lungs with air TO their utmost extent and
retained il as long as he could while covered

such force that it seemed TO him to hs,,en
and spread out his chest while he was still
strainlng TO retain some cir TO breathe.
Augustus could not swim. He grasped an
oar and was thrown in to the shore by the
sea. Stephen Dunham Was on the shore
and he drew them both out of the water

assist them neither of them could have
landed alive. Augustus was uninlured.

The Besieged in Egypt Having
Eaten All the Dogs. Have Only
Horses Left, and Are About TO
Starve.
CAIRO, Feb. 1.-Advices from Sinka are
heartrending. 1t is said that the people
have eaten all the dogs in town, and only
horses and u bag of barley remain.
There will be nothing left in two more
days, when, unless relieved, the inhabit-
ants intend to try to cut their way to
Suakim. They say it is better to be killed
than starve to death.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The command er at
Tokar, in Soudan, writes that it would be
impossible for their condition to be worse.
The rebels have filled up all the wells out
side of town, and the water inside is
brackish and bad, and the troops are suf-
fering from diarrhea. There is great fear
that it will be necessary shortly to surren-
der. Only from 10 to 20 rounds of ammu-
milton per man are still left. The rebels
continue firing day and night.

Butter Try Il.

Jack Godfrey, who knows all the tricks
of the trade, says it is correct that any
housekeeper can prove the honesty of her
grocer or his butter by melting it. Pure
butter melted produces a pure, limpid,
golden oil, and it retains the butter flavor.
Melt olemargarine and the oil smells like
tallow and looks like tallow, and a scum
rises to the surface. Butterine is a mix
ture of dairy butter and fats. Melt that
and the butter oil will rise to the top.
Pour this off and you will find the fats at
the bottom, whitish in color and giving off
a disagreeable smell.

ssStrOng AL

An Oakland butcher, AL Kirchoff, or
'Strong AL" as he is known among his
friends, has thrown down the glove for
Sullivan to pick up. Kirchoff is a Prus-
sian, SO years of age, and weighing 1913
pounds. He has quite a local reputation
as an athlete, having on one accession
lifted a weight of 400 pounds. Kirchoff
claims that Sullivan's manager declined to
consider the proposition unless the hal-
lenge was accompanied by a deposit of
$500. Kirchoff says that he means bust
ness, and will endeavor to arrange the
meeting either before Sullivan's departure
for the North or after his return to this
city. The very accommodating Oakland
police have agreed not to interfere so long
as gloves are used.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some people overlook one

men among US in places of influence, and
there may be some of them here now, but
/ shall not say so, who never failed to give
the camp a black eye. What they say
is quoted abroad and it hurts. We are
willing to stand by the facts in
regard to our mines, and we wouldn't
complain if these influential citizens
would let up sometimes in their bear"
racket. They even go further than this.
II they can't get the biggest slice OF the
pie, they'll spoil it for anybody else who
might make a sale that would do the
whole district good. This may be black
mail, or whatever else you call 1T. A
miner who came back lately from En-
gland and the Eastern States told me that
when he tried to discuss a mining property
that be wanted to put on the market, they
would say to him: What are your refer
ences? Who are the prominent men In
your camp" He said he had got it in
the neck so often this way hat he
gave up in disgust aud answered
only: II don't know any prominent men
in my district that it would do either you
or me any good to refer to-" This is

Care of ~Indigents.

The Grand Jury of Washoe county made
this report on Wednesday: After due con-
sideration we conclude that the system
now practiced for the support of the indi-
gents is wrong. 1t is well known that the
taxpayers Of the State have provided and
now maintain an Orphans Home for the
care and education of the INDECENT orphans
OF the State, and that our own county has
a similar home for all adult persons re-
curing protecting care and maintenance.
These institutions are carefully managed
at the expense OF the public and for the
purposes stated. Why then should the
funds Of the State be continually used to
support persons residing in various parts
of the community We are aware that in
some instances these ~indigents much prefer
receiving $40 worth OF aid from the county
than to go and secure all the benefits of q
public institution. But that is not the
question. 1t is the duty of the Commits
%sioners, as well as the public, to see that
the unfortunate poor do not suffer, and
therefore why not send all needy persons
to the homes already prepared for them.
A careful examination of the bills for sup
plies to some of the indigents will disclose
the fact that the kindness of our County
Commissioners has been abused, as it is
not often that the truly needy require such
things on their bill of fare as bird seed,
tobacco, brandy and whisky"

TIE BULLY SULLIVAN.
He Meets n Montana Man Who
Makes Him Take Water.

-
In the train which bore John l.. Sulli-
van and his party from Helena in Garri-
son, en- route to Butte on Saturday
afternoon, says the Butte Inter-Mountain
of Jan. "a, a lively scene was enacted be-
tween the champion of the world and q
young miner who formerly resided in this
city. The latter had with him q small
flask of whisky. He WAS travelling alone
and wanted a drink. Sullivan sat behind
him. The miner pulled out the flask and
said:
"Mr. Sullivan, will you take a few
lines ?"
NO" said Sullivan, with offensive en-
phasis, 81 don't drink.
81 hope you'll excuse me-" said the
young man; II meant no offense."
"You shouldn't be SO fresh" was the re.
ply. "You shouldn't talk to men you
don't know"
Soon afterwards the young man took
another drink, and in a spirit of levity
asked the champion a second time to take
a drink, but did 80 in a very respectful
way.
you're a cur" said Sullivan, land I'll
throw you out of the window"
Attempting to suit the action to the
word, Sullivan arose and was just about to
take hold of the man with the bottle, when,
quick as a flash, the latter put his hand to
his hip pocket, INT %resolutely facing the
champion, said:
"You big s. of a b., you may be
champion of the world, but you can't run
this Territory nor bully me. II you put
me out of that window, I'll put six bullets
into you while you are doing it,"
Sullivan at once resumed his seat, and
Mccoy and Others interfered to prevent
any further disturbance. Mccoy explained
the matter to the young man by stating
that Sullivan had just lost his hat and
overcoat off the train and that he was SO
angry at the loss that he couldn't control
his temper. He further stated that Sulli-
van was afraid Of being shot in Montana,
and asked the offended young man to
avoid any further trouble. This request
was complied with, and the combination
arrived in Butte without further trouble.
