Loss Of n New Ship i'm the Gulf of

Loss Of IA New Ship i'm the Gulf of
Georgia.
PoEr TOWNSEND, Feb. 20.-The
tug Tacoma arrived here last night,
bringing news of the wreck of the
ship John RoSenfeld, coal laden from
Nanaimo, b. c., for San Francisco.
The Rosenteld, while being towed
to sea by the Tacoma, ran Oh reef
at East Point, Jumbo Island, Gulf
of Georgia. The Tacoma, after APP
plying to her agent for assistance,
returned at once to the wreck, Sew
eral tugs were engaged to. day to pro-
coed to the scene of the disaster, but
while preparing to do so the Tacoma
arrived second time, and reported
that when the tide went out last
night, the Rosenyeld broke in two
amidships and had become total
wreck. Twelve of the ships crew
arrived here. Tue captain officers
and fourteen men remained to strip
the vessel of every movable. The
Tacoma brought part of tho sails,
rigging, etc. and has returned with
scow for the balance that may be
saved. The Rosenfeld was u new ship,
of 2. 2GS tons measurement, valued a:
$50, 900. Her owners are John
Rosenfeld of San Francisco, G.. Sc
wall, of Bath, Maine, tie captain
and mate also having each u small
interest in her. The cargo consisted
of about $500 tons of coal, valued at
$4,000, which will also prove Il
total loss. The amount of insurance
on ship and cargo is unknown.
PoRr TOWNSEND, Feb. 22.-The
steamer Tacoma was libeled to-day
for running the ship Resented ashore
on East Point, Straits of Georgia.
Libelants claim $150,000, as they
say the tug was in fault. Appraisers
have been appointed to decide the
worth of the steamer, and when they
report, bonds will be given for her
release. The owners of the tug have
given no excuse for the accident.
The mate of the tug, who had charge
of the watch at the time of the acct
dent, says the weather was clear on
the American side of the Straits, but
on the British side was slightly
hazy. The American shore appear
ing nearer than it really was, he mis-.
calculated the distance, and the
vessel struck. Had the vessel been
a ships length further out she would
have gone clear. Her anchors,
chains and the rest of the sails were
brought here to-day by the Tacoma.
The captain of the steamer is not
blamed, as the mate had been with
him for many years, and was a COM
petent man. The captain has re-
quested the owners to relieve him
from command, but his resignation
has not been accepted. The vessel

Gov. Squire selected the 22d OF
February, Washington's Birthday,
for the date of restoration of civil
law to the beleaguered city of Seat
tie. He has an exalted idea of all
those accessories which heighten eff

barely pay the cost of mining at the

their intention Of closing the mines
altogether, rather than to continue
business at loss. II this is done

JosEpHINE!-The Partisan seems
to have an gushing contributor in
Miss Josephine s. Hunt, who goes
off into exstucies on subject she
seems to thoroughly understand, in
the following style:
You kissed me! my soul,
In bliss so divine,
Reeled and swooned like n drunken ma II,
Foolish with wine.
And thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath;
II my heart might grow cold
While your arms clasped me round
In their passionate fold.
And these are the questions
ask day and night;
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast
Were my shelter as then,
And, if you were here,
Would you kiss me again?
If the individual address docs
not answer promptly and unequvo-
cally Yes, we will hire one of the
Home Guards to run him through
with his bayonet. You can always
count on the STANDARD as a friend

it is among tho hardest of the common
plants, and if 1t is so with us also we
hope the authorities will not neglect
this discovery, as the brilliant hue of
the poppy in great masses would be

nate the air with odors bringing sleep
10 the restless traveller And next some
one will discover an equally scientific

even for the orchid.
Morrison and Randall, writes Cleve-
land Leader correspondent are widely
different in their characters. Randall
reminds one of pugilist He has a
heavy jaw, n bulldog expression, and he
strikes straight from the shoulder. Nor
rison is n diplomatic. He walks around
like cat, with his soft felt hat pulled
down over his eyes He gives you his
hearty shake of the hand and his friend
ly and seemingly honest eye smiles for
everyone. He works in secret. He
likes to tell good stories, and he avails
more in n social crowd than on the
floor of the house. Each of Morrison's
friends thinks Morrison cares more for
him than he does for any other friend,
or even for himself, and Morrison
makes as few enemies as Randall does
friends. Morrison appreciates the fact
that he is poor speaker. He is i'll at
ease upon the floor, and looks like u
schoolboy making his first defamation.
Randall is never more at home than
when engaged in fight before the
house. He stands straight up and looks
over his opponents with an expression
of conscious power. He never quails,
never shows any emotion, and he hangs
to his purpose like the bulldog from
whom his soul evidently came by trans
migration. Randall's training as q
knocker among the boys in Philadel-
phia in early life still shows in his con-
duct after a score of years in congress
sional service.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1886-03-26

One OF the most annoying things that
the country people have to contend with
Is the ordinary town COW. When the
farmer leaves home he puts in the bot
tom of his sleigh OF sled a bountiful
armful of hay. This answers the two
fold purpose of a seat and to keep the
feet of himself and the good wife warm.
He drives to town, unldads his wife in
front Of some store, and proceeds to
hitch his team at some point about the
pubic square. No sooner is his back
turned than dozen starved COWS inn
mediately surround his sled, and before
he can say ''Jack Robinson with his
mouth open," every straw in his she'd
has gone through the gastfic orifces of
the aforesaid cows. We noticed one
particularly careful fellow the other day.
He was going to have the deadwood on
that bunch of hay, and departed for
saloon with grin on his face. We
watched the proceedings with consider
able interest. He was not out of sight
until three long-horns opened the gate
and proceeded to the pile and chewed it
up. Clubbing these lean Kline does no
good. In fact, they rather enjoy the
fun. You can take an ordinary stick of
cordwood and bounce it from off their
carcasses fifty feet hi oh and they will
turn around and smile ut you. They
don't even grunt when you have hit
them hard enough to stave in their ribs.
Such punishment seems only to act as a
tonic; it whets their appetites and makes
them enjoy the repast which the farmer
has hauled to them from his home many
miles distant. And after it is all over,
just notice the peculiar look they give
the man who came to town sitting on a
pile OF hay as he departs sitting on the
bare boards! The town COW is nuis-
ance, but at the same time necessity in
all rural villages. A ''home without
mother" would not be more lonesome
spectacle than rural village without its
herd of lean, long-horned, stump-tailed
cows.-West. Union co., Peoples De-
fender.
