NEWS BY AN ALBATROSS.
1t Flies Two Thousand Miles
With Tidings of Cast-Away

1t Flies Two Thousand Miles
With Tidings of a Cast-Away
Crew.
Off in the southern part of the Indian
ocean, about thousand miles south of
Madagascar, and quite out of the usual
path of vessels, in region well on to-
ward the Arctic Circle, lies little group
of four barren rocks, or rocky islands,
called the CroZet Islands, says the New
York Star. They lie to the westward of
DesOlation or Kerguelen Island, and are
known chiefly to navigators who go off
that way to hunt whales. seals and sea
elephants. Their latitude south of the
line is between 46 and AZ deg. a position
rather further south of the equator than
Quebec is north of it, and probably hav-
ing an inclement climate, not as good as
that of Lower Canada. On these remote
, islands crew of thirteen sailors were
cast away early last August.
The facts which led to this discovery
are remarkable. The French govern
. ment ha been officially informed by the
British ambassador at Paris that cable
dispatch had been received from Gov.
Robinson. of South Australia, announc-
ing that Sept. % dead albatross was
found upon the beach at Fremantle
| with a piece of tin fastened around
its neck, on which was scratched in
French:
'istThirteen shipwrecked men took ref
uge upon the CrOzet islands Aug. 4
16S7.o
These thirteen shipwrecked sailors
are, without much doubt, the thirteen
officers and crew of the brigantine TAM
aris,owned in Bordeaux. That vessel left
France early last spring for New Gale
dOnia III the Pacific ocean, and no news
has s,been received from her. Her own
ers and sea captains generally believe
that about the tst of August she would
have been not far from the CrOzet ISL
| ands.
The albatross, great sea bird of tire
less wing, bore that message over 1900
miles of ocean to Southern Australia.
Orders have been sent by the marine
departments of both the French and
| British governments that will take the
| searching vessels to the CrOZet Islands
to, rescue those shipwrecked sailors,
whose situation has been thus wonder
fully conveyed to the civilized world. 1t
is believed they will be found alive, for.
besides any stores they may possibly
have succeeded in getting ashore from
the ship, they will find plenty of pen
gums and eggs. 1t is summer there
now, ..

There is no more widely acquainted
man in the capitol than Deputy Dairy
Commissioner Carl JudSon. Farmers,
business men, and even women and
children all over the state know Carl.
But sometimes tits better to be un-
known to fame, as Carl found out not
long since on making his usual pilgrim
age to his home in Pennington. Some
time ago lady, who resides near Farm
ington and who sells great deal Of but
ter and milk in Minneapolis, made up
her mind that she wanted to make a
visitto Minneapolis. She at once ap-
piled to Carl to tell her where to go in
the Mill City.
Ever ready to accommodate any one,
and especially lady Mr. Judson pulled
out one of his cards and on the back of
it jotted down the names and addresses
of number of firms in the Flour City.
The lady went to Minneapolis, got lost
in the crowds, and finally pulled up at
one of the police stations, where she
told her troubles. The officials gave
her the desired information and she
arrived in Pennington a few hours
later. But in the hurry to get away,
and out of the wicked city the good
lady forgot all about her hand-satchel,
or rather small valiSe, and left it at the.
station. The grip was opened by the
officers, who found inside bearing a
@ Judson." T fhinRIng, of of course, course that that
the lady was some member of CARTS
family, the officers forwarded the grip
to him at Pennington.

LONDON,s SOCIALISM.
How 1t Has Increased in the Pas

Il
Few Years.
Whatever personal opinion one may
hold about sOcialiStic doctrines, there is
one indisputable fact which no real OBJ
server will deny: it is tn considerable
increase of the partisans of socialism,
both in the new world and in the old.
Within the last ten years especially the
number of adopts has increased in alb
normal proportions, and nothing
neither the iron regime of Germany nor
the liberty of America-haS had, it
seems. the power to check this prOdig-
iOus evolution. And still, only few
years ago, England appeared to have
escaped the cOntagiOn. remember my
long peregrinatlOns in the suburbs of
London and my talks with the working
people. 1 had grown to love the
British populace; l had learned
slowly to become closely ac-
quainted with it's sentiments, and to
feel and to analyze it's complex latent
qualities, its intellectual force, and it's
ISF7, it was rare thing to find social
ist in the multitude. The advanced
tendency was simple radicaliSm, some
few agrarian theories, an aspiration to-
ward the extension of the franchise and
with all that there were plenty OF con-
seFEatlves. Gradually saw the social
-istagenesiS develop; in the seances in
the beer shops the militant socialists
grew bolder, and anti-capitafists ideas
sprang up amidst curious mixtures of
rudimentary philosophy. Then came
scenes in the open air-in Victoria Park
in the extreme east Of London, for in
stance--where the socialist group,
at first unimportant and feeble in
numbers, kept on increasing every
year when spring came around, un-
til it finally made a., good. figure
in the throng of Christian and secularist
disputants, says }. HI. ROsnY, in Har-
per's Magazine for February. AS for
the different leaders of English social

necessarily no-Christian-I am decid-
edly of opinion that they are in general
more sincere, more loyal, less mercan-
tile, and less SeIf-Seeking and scheming
than the socialist chiefs of the conti-
nent-a fact which may doubtless be ac-
counted for to certain extent by the
reflection that socialism is still young
in England, and therefore yet in the
period of great enthusiasm, devotion,
abnegation and generosity, which prac-
tice and habit always attenuate in the
end in things human. However, En-
gland is more indulgent than France
and Germany. fnasmuch as she refuses
to create martyrs. With the exception
of Most, who was foreigner, the PEN

upon socialists have scarcely exceeded

ODDS AND ENDS,

A great many people learned with
surprise yesterday morning that A. J..
Wampier had handed in his resignation
as member of the school board. Mr..
Wampler is not only a very popular
gentleman, but has always taken deep
interest in all school matters. At one
time he had in preparation a series of
text books for use in the juvenileroo
but the rush of business cares prevented
him from completing this work. Mr..
Wampler is now in Florida with one or
two other we'll known gentlemen and is
achieving an enviable reputation, as an
all-around philantifropist.
Some people will have their littl,.
joke, no matter under what circuni-
