DETROIT, Feb. 2.-The news from the
Grand Haven fire to-day is very meagre.
The latest estimate Of the loss is $500, 900,
on which the insurance is a little less
than that amount. The grain elevator
which was destroyed was the property of
New berry Il Mcmillan, OF this city, who
will probably not rebuild as their elevator
was not a paying investment. New
freight houses will be started Immediately.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Capt. Clark, of the
American ship Frank N. Thayer. has ar
rived at Plymouth on a Cape steamer, by
which he was picked up at sea. He re-
lates that the Thayer was bound for Eng
land with mixed crew, including two
Manila seamen. These two men stole
upon deck one night, and armed with
knives, attacked two officers. killing them
instantly. Three sailors, the only ones
on deck, were quickly dispatched. Capt.
Clark, hearing the shrieks OF the crew,
rushed on deck in his nightshirt.
TERRIBLY sLAsHED.
The Manilians slashed him terribly. and
he barely escaped with his life. After
desperate struggle he broke away from
his assallants and rushing TO his cabin
locked himself in. The Manillans bat
tened down the hatches and kept the
Captain and crew below deck one day and
night. The Captain finally fired through
the skylight at one OF the mutineers and
wounded him in the thigh. The man
rushed to the side OF the vessel and leaped

below, fired the cargo, ard returning to
the deck jumped into the sea. Terrified

his children. Ha! ha! ha! Business is

Friday-Phil Carter had no money;

gloriously drunk.
Saturday-Young Sam Chap took his

How He Took the Pledge and Made Hi
First Temperance Address.

How He Took the Pledge and Made Hif
First Temperance Address.
1t was in the old town hall, now the
City Hall. 1t was Monday night,
stormy and uninviting out of doors. In
town meeting the gratuitous use of the
town hall had been voted for Temper.
ance meetings, which were held regu.
larry every Monday evening. These
meetings were always largely attended.
They were then the great events Of
public interests in the town of Worces-
ter, and the use of the larger hall, the
division then being the east and west
town hall, was necessary for the ac-
commOdation of the crowds which usu-
ally gathered. The night Couch
signed the pledge the storm was so Sc.
we're that the meeting was being held
in the east or smaller hall. On the
opposite side of the street, at Harring-
ton corner, had gathered a number
who had many times found pleasure
in Coughs singing and dancing. He
found IN stranger friend who led
him into that meeting. He was known
to all, for his life had been such as to
make him a conspicuous character.
As he walked down the center aisle
all eyes were turned upon him. How
well many remember that pale, hag-
gard face, the long, flowing, unkempt
hair of raven blackness, which Cough
nervously pushed back from his fore
head as he entered the meeting. His
coat was buttoned at the top only. A
crowd of those who had laughed at his
bacchanalian songs, his wonderful pow
ers of mimicry and his grotesque dane
ing, had followed him into the meet
ing. As he nervously affixed his sig
nature to the pledge half-suppressed,
sneering laugh was heard by those in
the rear of the hall. Cough heard it
also, and as he laid down the pen he
turned suddenly upon those assembled
with: ''Why do you laugh? Am l not
a man?" The meeting was silent in
an instant, and then followed one of
those imprisoned Temperance adj
dresses which in after years made him
foremost among the most effective
workers of the Temperance cause. In
all his after life he never moved an au-
dience more than in this, his first Tenn
perance address. Tears were brought
to the eyes of all, and it was sight
never to be forgotten by those who
witnessed the remarkable scene. His
reformation was the work of years, and
it was complete, although not until
after he again yielded to tomptation.-

One of Sophocles' Traps.


The Boston Record tells the follow
ing story of the late Prof. Sophocles, of
Harvard: The old Greek was catechiz-
ing his class one day on the ancient
history of his native country. when
did Theodophilus live?" he asked of
one sophomore. " Before Christ. "
''Wrongr shouted the professor. And
then addressing the next sophomore /:
"When did Theodophilus livep" "After
Christi "Wrong!" shouted the pro-
fessor again. And then he repeated
the question to a third student: 'When
did Theodophilus liveP" Neither be-
fore nor after Christi you are right,
young manr' said the professor.
There never was any such man as The
odophilus." 1t was one of the little
historical traps that Sophocles liked to
set for the budding wisdom of Harvard.

sADI, THE FoRTUNE-sEeKER

In search of happiness unmarried,
Sadi, the wise, had wandered many a year
To palaces afar and near,
Where heads were crown bedecked and DO.
SONS starred,
And on the highway, in the lane,
Mong rich and poor, in mansion and in hut,
Through office, shop and market, but
His eager quest, alas! proved all in vain.
And worn and weary of his task.
Bent to the earth with sorrow and with age,
What wonder that at last the sage,
Grown fainter in his hope. should ask:
rs this the bitter lesson, then;
When in its best estate the world appears
II only smiles through unseen tears
There is no perfect fortune among men?''
Considering thus in somber mood
The lot of mortals, he beheld one day
An ancient temple on his way
Amidst cedar wood. in solitude.
And having reached the holy place
ANA rested on its cool, mosaic floor,
sunk in prostration to impore
The grant of his desire, of Allah's grace.
And while he tarried in the halls
And scanned with wondering eye the build
er's craft.
The vauted arch, the stately shaft,
The mystic symbols purified on the walls
a rainbow CLEAN his vision caught.
II came Respondent from a distant door
Whose paneled face this legend bore
In curious gems and sparkling jewels
wrought:
behind this portal regneth bliss;
The home of happiness is this,
Where cruel fortune filings no dart
To pierce the soul, to wound the heart
He hears no sigh, and sees no tear
And knows no grief who enters here M
And whatsoever his wisdom Knocked
Is to his quickened sense unlocked"
Praise be, great Allah, to thy name!"
Exclaimed the sage, who in thy goodness
hast,
In this most glorious hour at last
Brought all my life's endeavor to its aim
And freed my soul from doubt and gloom"
And as the door he, trembling, open drew,
What did the startled Sadi view?
Beneath him, in a marble crypt-a tomb.
