A Notable Duel.

The death at Portsmouth, N. H., of Mrs. Mary Ann Barron, widow of the late Commodore James Barron, of the United States Navy, recalls to mind the celebrated duel of her husband with Commodore Stephen Decatur.
 Commodore Barron was in command of the Chesapeake when, in 1907, she was attacked by the British frigate Leopard, because of Barron's refusal to let the English Captain search his vessel for British sailors. The Chesapeake was entirely unprepared for action, and after being riddled by the Leopard's shot for half an hour surrendered. Con- modore Barron was tried by court martial and cashiered, not because of any lack of bravery on his part, but be- cause he had allowed the Chesapeake to be in such 8 defenceless condition. In 1918 he applied for reinstatement in tho navy, but this was bitterly opposed by many officers, among whom was Con- modore Decatur, who was a member of the court-martial. This led to long and bitter correspondence between them, and finally ended in Barron's challenging Decatur. In the duel which followed both fell at the first fire. De- catur died that evening, and Barron re- covered only after many months of suf- fering. His death occurred in 1851.

An Ancient Tnnnel.

The Governor of Samos, Abyssides
 Pasha, has at last succeeded, after years
 of work, in uncovering the entrances to
 a tunnel of which Herodotus speaks with
 admiration as the work of Eupalinos
 and Megaira, and which, according to the same authority, was built during the
 tenth century B. 0. The tunnel, about
 5000 feet long, was intended to secure supply of fresh water to the old sea- port town of Samos, and consists of three parts. They are the tunnel proper, 5I feet high and feet wide; canal about
 5 feet deep and nearly 8 feet wide,
 which runs in the middle or on the side of the base of the tunnel; and the aque- duct running in this canal. The aque- duct consists of earthen pipes, each 21-5 feet long, 32 inches to 33 inches in cir conference, the sides averaging about II inches in thickness. Every other joint has hole, for what purpose has not yet been fully explained. Mir. Stam- atiades, Greek arch@ologist, believes that they were intended to facilitate the cleaning of the pipes and to make the flow of water easier. The canal is arched over, but twenty eight manholes were provided to admit the workmen who were charged with cleaning and re- pairing the aqueduct The tunnel Is not quite straight, forming an elbow about 1900 feet from one of the entrances This elbow, according to Mir. Stama- tiades, was caused by mistake in the calculations of the engineers, who had none of the instruments used in tunnel building nowadays. The tunnel starts near small water-course whioh may have been quite stream in olden times, pierces the mountain Kastri, which was formerly crowned by the Fort Samos, and ends few hundred yards from the old town of Samos, about ten feet below the surface. From the mountain slope to the city this subterranean aqueduct is protected by massive stone struc- ture, ending within the walls of the pres- ent convent of St. John. The preserva- ton of this work which is truly won derful, considering tine imperfect me resources at the disposal of the builders--for nearly 5000 years is prob- ably due to the caretaken by Eupalinos, who, in all places where the rock did not seem of sufficient tirmness, lined the tunnel with several layers of brick, run ming on the top into peaked arch.- To,1Cyoa1 From

Cruelty to Children.
WHY PARENTS SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN
 CHOOSING NURSES.

Joe Howard writes as follows in the Philadelphia Press:
 "I have had occasion hundred times, I think may say without exaggeration, to speak to servants in the street with children whom they were maltreating. Nothing is more common in Central Park than to see nurses neglecting chil- dren while they talk to the police, their friends. Nothing is more common than to see girls shaking little charges and grasping them rudely by the arm, or, in other words, disciplining them.
 "A young married couple, friends of mine, had Q nurse in whom they placed implicit confidence, and whose fondness for their little boy was most gratifying. One afternoon the nurse took the child out, but was gone so late as to cause great apprehension. Finally, hours past the time when she should have been in, sue came back in a maudlin condition, and the baby in her arms ss pale and stupid as to excite alarm. The doctor was sent for, and he instantly said the child had been given either some drug or liquor in which drugs were mixed. Fortunately the child had strong con- stitution and got over 1t, but it showed the fallacy of the theory that the girl was perfectly straight, and was calcu- lated to upset confidence in any of her kind"

THRILLING TRAGEDY AT A FIRE.
A Brave Foreman Losing his Life in Saw
 ing Ihe Lives of Others.

The large brick building at Lasalle and Michigan streets, Chicago, caught fire on Wednesday. The building was five-story structure, occupied by Schnabel & O., barbed wire msnufactur, rs, Campbell Printing Press Company, DanheiZer Bros, chewing gum manufacturers and W. E. Fishers cigar box factory. The latter was on the top story, and employed twenty-one men and eighteen girls. The foreman of the shop, James Carr, got all of the thirty-seven souls together in good order, and coolly led them to the freproof stairs and safely to the ground.
 Troubled with doubt as to whether any were left behind, Carr quickly returned to the fifth story, but remained a few minutes too late, as the flames had cut of every avenue of escape. He hurried to the roof, and amid the wild excitement of the thousands of peo- pie below, rope was thrown to him from the building on the opposite side of the street, and, making 1t fast, he began his perilous descent, while the firemen held @ heavy tarpaulin beneath. Sud- denly the rope snapped under the mans weight, or was burned by the bursts of flame, and Carr shot downward, head foremost, and, to the horror of the crowd of people, went directly through the tarpaulin and was picked up from the stones with his neck broken and mangled almost beyond recognition.
 Another thrilling scene, meanwhile, was taking place at the fire escape from the chew ing gum factory. Eighteen girls, panic stricken, came down pell mell, and when with in twenty-five feet of the ground the last eight jumped to the pavement, falling in confused heap. Fortunately only three of them were seriously injured, they receiving painful cuts and bruises The loss will reach @l0O GOO.

One of the yhite Slaves.
GIRL FROM A BowERY DEN TELLS OF
 HER HORRIBLE LIFE OF MISERY.

"I am sick ard tired of life, Judge. and I wish he had killed me outright" !" sobbed pretty blus-eyed Lottie Brooks, aged eighteen, at the Tombs. "That wretch I" she continued, as she pointed to John Peterson, proprietor of tho Cambridge, a notorious dance hall; 'I will kill him or he will kill me. Two months ago I ran away from as nice a hone as any girl has. didn't have any need to work. My parents are we'll of, and they gave me what money l needed. I became tired of the routine home life in New Jersey and came to this city, thinking would have life of fun and excitement. I was accosted by an old gentleman in Madison Square Park, who, while pretending to befriend me, effected my ruin. He deserted me, and penniless, being afraid to return home, I became a waiter girl. l very soon found how horrible it was and tried to get away, but he," and she pointed at Peterson, who scowled sayagely back at her, The beat me black and blue and threatened to kill me if I tried to go again. Still, made two more at- tempts to escape, but each time I was beaten until I could not walk. be- came nothing more than a slave to him. Finally, escaped from the house, and want to be protected or he will kill me. "
 Peterson swore under his breath. He was held for examination. Kitty Cav anagh, also New Jersey girl, who was rescued from Peterson's dive month ago, went to the Tombs, and the e1. animation of the charges she had brought against him were continued. He was held for trial on her charge Kc,o York World.

THE GREAT TYPHOON.
Additional News of the Storm at YokO-
 hama and TokiO.

The steamer Arabic, which arrived at San Francisco, on Sunday, from China and Japan, brought the following additional details of the great typhoon of September 15, which caused such terrible destruction of life and property at Yokohama and Tokio. The storm came up so rapidly and with such tremend, us fury that no precautions could be taken. In Yokohama the entire lower part of the city, called the "settlement, was completely wrecked; no house was left standing. The inhabitants made no attempt to save their property, but lied for their lives to escape drowning from the rushing waters driven upon the land by the fury of the wind. The newspapers make no attempt to furnish details of the destruction in that part of the city. They summarize by say ing that as the 8, ttlement was destroyed it is useless to publish any details. The higher portions of the city being more exposed were equally unfortunate. Several Of the largest and most substantial buildings were swept away as if built of pssteboard. In that sec- tion alone 128 houses were destroyed and 800 damaged. The loss of life on shore was less than at sea. Out of 80 sailing vessels, 53 were lost with 223 passengers on board. Twelve vessels, with 120 persons are also mi sing. Of five life boats that went to rescue drowning crews, four were swamped, and ten men of their crews were drowned. Tlse typhoon was the severest experienced since 1870.

The Sugar Industry.

From advance sheets of the report of Professor H. w. Wiley, chemist of tho Department of Agriculture, the follow ing facts relating to the Northern sugar industry are taken:
 Sorghum: Little work has boon done in Washington. The expense attending the raising and working of the cane has made it advisable to have the experi- mental work carried on in other locali. ties. Laboratories have been established in Wisconsin and Indiana. The season has been more favorable than the pre- ceding one, and the yield of sugar great CT. Nevertheless, the total yield of Sor- ghum sugar for the year is not likely to exceed 1,600, 900 pounds. The yield of sorghum syrup is about the same as last year-30, 900, 900 gallons. The low price of sugar and molasses will prove em- barrassing to manufacturers.
 The Sugar Beet: The sugar beet con. tinues to prosper in California. Tue factory at Alvaredo has had good sea. son and made large quantity of sugar.  This is now the only beet sugar factory in the United States. Beets grown by the Department of Agriculture the pres. ent season show @ low percentage of sugar.
 Louisiana cane: The Department has also established alaboratory in Louisiana to study the chemistry of sugar manu- iacture. Louisiana has long been feeling its way in the matter of sugar-making, and it is thought that the planters may receive much help and many valuable suggestions from a careful chemical supervision of all the different processes of manufacture. The crisis in the sugar industry of the world, Professor Wiley says, is felt with peculiar effect in this country. New methods of manufacture will have to be introduced if prices re- main as they are, or the sugar industry : of the country will languish. The yield i in Louisiana this season will probably fall below the average.

A Conductor Slowly Burned to DoAth.

A terrible railway accident occurred Sunday night at Montrose Station on the Canada Southern Railway, near Montreal. A long train of empty freight ears was mistaken by the switchman for an engine and 8 single car. He switched them of on a siding where other cars were standing, and the freight train, run ming into these, upset sove in the conductors car, where the train men were seated joking together. The stove fell on Herbert Thayer, of St. Thomas, conductor of the train, pinning him to the floor, and the caboo-e instantly took fire. All efforts to rescue Thayer proved futile and he had to be left to his terrible fate. His brother, William Thayer, brakeman on the csboose, kept hold of his hand as long as be could bear the heat, but finally was driven back exhausted and pulled through the windows. His leg was broken. Brakeman Schofeld was slightly burned. Conductor McGreigor had his feet badly burned. Three cabooses were consumed. When Thayer's body was recovered it was chsrrtd to an unrecognizable mass. He was 2l years of age, and had been married few weeks only. His cries as he was slowly being burned to death were agonizing.

Further Details of Destruction by Storm O1
 Lower CnlifOrnin's Coast.


 The following are further particulars of the storms on the coast of Lower California. The news was brought to San Francisco by the captain of the steamer Newborn, From Guay- mas. He says the steamer Estado de Sonora left Mazatlan on September 29. The first storm broke out on the following day. It ragged with such terrific fury that the Estado was unable to put back. It is supposed she rolled over and went down with ftty-seven souls on board. Nothing whatever was afterward heard of the passen- gers or crew. On October IA the Newborn passed large quantity of wrecked stuff near the entrance of the Gulf of California It was a pilot house and mast with band attached. Some bras work had been picked up by natives of San Jose Island. They had stripped of all the wood part and burned it, only leaving the brass work. There were no marks on any of these. but 1t is believed they were all from the wrecked steamer. Some of the brass work was sent to Guaymas for the purpose of iden- tifying it. The Estado was commanded by Captain Rode, @ nephew of Captain Charles Wilson, formerly Danish Consul in San Fran cisco, Cal
 The second storm began on October and lasted three days. It was even more violent than the first one. The only particulars re- ceived are from Cape St. Lucas. As was re- ported recently there was such tremendous sea running the Newborn was unable to touch at the Cape. She passed through fields of loose candles believed to have been part of the cargo.
 MINOR CRAFT LOST.
