A WIFE WORTH HAVING.
BY sYLyANUs COBB.

The old ship Vincent seemed to be one
of those crafts that, according to the
theory of sailors, are doomed to I'll fate.
James Marshall, young man from New
port, X. l., had been her captain for five
years, and during that time she had been
Twice "knocked down." once had she
carried away her foremast, and at the
time of which we write the old ship was
locked at Liverpool, undergoing repairs
from serious damage she bad received
during n heavy gaze In ST. Georges chan
mel. But In all these mishaps the owners
had been forced to ackno Wedge that the
Young capt lin was entirely free from
blame, while on the other hand he had
made better time" In his trips than any
other master had been able to get out OF
her.
1ne last damage which the Vincent
received proved to be the occasion of the
dawning OF new era in the lite OF Capt
Marshall, for while waiting in Liverpool
Tor his ship 20 be prepared he fell Ill with
a blooming New England girl named
Emma Ramsay, The eldest daughter OF
the agent who did the business for the
Vincent's owners, and ere long they dis
covered that between them there existed
A peculiar feeling of mutual love. Capt.
Marshall popped the delicate question,
Emma consulted with her papa, and at
length she consented to become Mrs,
Marshall 1t WAS happy day for all
parties when the marriage took place, for
from the know characters OF the bride
groom and his beautiful biide all feit
sure that the match would Prove one OF
peace and content.
The Vincent was once more ready for
sea. Her cargo was all on board aud
shipped for Boston, and Enma Tad re-
solved to accompany her husband to The
United States. For anumber OF days the
weather was pleasant and the wind was
fair, while CAPT. Marshall felt himself
supremely happy In the delightful com
many of | il wife. The old sailors shook
their heads rs they saw the gentle Emma
pacing tue deck, and they very mystcii-
ous!y asserted that "such plea ures
couldn't always last" and so indeed 1t
proved, for at the close OF . pleasant day,
when they were within three or four
dpys' sail of their destined port, things
began to look anything but agreeable.
Away to the southwark and eastward the
horizon began to assume sort oil lnky
blackness, with here and there ghost
like liyid spot, while on all hands the
heavens had changed their ethereal blue
for cast Of deeper and more fearful im'

Capt. Marshall felt as he had never ieli
before ON the approach OF storm. Fol
himselr-for his ship-he had no thought
then. There WAS one on board VINO en-
crossed his every sympathy-tor hlt
1ouug wife he ielt q degree of intense
anxiety that was painful, but he iorso'
not his duty, and with comparative calm
ness Ie set about 1t. The courses Were
hauled up and snugly turled, the ligbtel

Our little boy Stokes, now eleven
years old, bad catarrh from tho time he
was seven years of age. Sometimes
his breathing was heavy, and con-
slant discharge from the nose. He had
more or less treatment for four years,
but withoutaDy benefit. We gave him

The three children OF Thomas BrineT
of Louisville, Ky, were burning a pile OF
shayings near their home, when the
clothes of Mary, aged IL years, caught
fire. Terrified by the flames the child
started to run, when she was caught by
her two little brothers, 10 and years
old, who held her while they fought
bravely to put out the blaze, which ex-
tended over her head. They were finally
successful, but the girl had inhaled the
fire, and, 1t was feared, would die: The
hands ard face of the brave little fellows
were badly burned,

Afew Land Decisions Reversed.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, May s.
In the case of Wenzel in the Grand Forks, N.
d., land office. Assistant Secretary Chandler,
of the interior department., has reversed one
of the commissioners cranky decisions.
Wenzel had showed that he had lived on his
claim the continuous time called for, but the
only point upon which flaw could be found
was that in the advertised notice three wit
nesses were named and only one appeared.
Another witness was substituted, and he
cause his name did not appear in the adver-
ttsement the commissioner held that it was
illegal. In his order reversing the decision
y cretary Chandler says:
A mere irregularity which is prejudicial to
none will not be permitted to block the entry
mans pathway and strew it with difficulties and
formal objections. to the loss Of his rights and
the cancellation Of his entry.
Secretary Noble holds in a decision in the
case Of Griffith w. McMillen of Colorado that
where an entryman makes an affidavit for a
timber culture claim outside OF tho state
through an error that he may be ailowed to
make a new entry. Another decision which
indicates that the secretary is disposed to be
liberal to homesteaders gives August Daft
ner the right to prove up on his claim en-.
tered at the Watertown Is. d. and office,
although he was absent from time to time
and his family did not reside on the claim.
1t was shown that he had separated from
his wife. Assistant Secretary Chandler has
dscided that James Fuller, who made a
timber culture entry at Walla Walla land
office, Washington Territory. is entitled to
his claim, even ii there were 200 trees fron
Six inches to two feet in diameter growing
along q gulch on the tract. IL was not
shown that Fuller had not complied with the
law and the scattered trees and stumps are
not regarded as constituting timber lands.

that Malietoa be reinstated as king of Samoa,
provided the United States government
purchases the German plantations or guaran-
tees the payment Of Samoans purchasing

if the relatives Of the Germans who were
slain are amply compensated. Germany will
not claim political preponderance.
The fisheries department is preparing fer
a vigorous enforcement of Canadian rights
in regard to the fisheries this season. Tie
vessels will go into commission this month.
The Acadia, otherwise John Reaches Yose.
mite, will be the flagship, and the fleet will
be strengthened Ivy the addition of the
Stanley, a powerful steel vessel, built on the
Clyde last winter for the Canadian govern
ment. She is expected to do the work OF
three ~schooners., The steamer Canadienne
went into commission, and the Dream is al
ready cruising in the Bay of Fundy. In ad-
dition to these four steamers, u number of
schooners will be chartered.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington lettings.

The president appointed Asa Mathews ot
Illinois first controller OF the treasury, vice
M. j.. Durham, resigned. Mr.. Mathews is the
present speaker of the Illinois house of rep
resentatives. He was colonel OF an Illinois
regiment during the war, n subsequently
collector of internal revenue for the Peoria
district. He lives at Pittsfeld, III. He was
endorsed for the Office by Senator Cullom
and many others.
Reports have reached Washington that
settlers were already going into the Sioux
reservation in anticipation of the early open
ing. They were brought to the attention OF
officials in the interior department, and it
was stated that the government would not
interfere with these squatters providing they
made no disturbance SO as to cause com
plants, as it was only a question of time
when the lands would be coded and thrown
open.
Officials of tho Indian bureau are as much
interested in the early opening of the Sioux
reservation as it is possible for people to be
at this distance. 1t is believed by them
that in case the commission fails to
secure the signatures OF the Indians, that the
settlers who have been waiting for the open
ing Will tuke UHe maUIef lnUO UuelF own
hands, enter upon the lands, taking their
chances that the Indians title will be extin-
gulshed BY congress. 1t is doubtful if the
Indian bureau will make any complaint il
settlers should go on the reservation before
a new treaty is made.
The steel cruisers Chicago, Boston, Allan
ia and Yorktown are to be fitted out as d
flying squadron and sent OH n cruise around
the world. 1t is thought that the squadron
will sail as soon as the Yorktown receives
her battery. The vessel can quickly run to
Washington and take aboard six Of the six
inch rifles now awaiting consignment there.
1t is said that Commodore Walker will com
mand the squadron and that the Chicago
will be his flagship. Is is thought the run
can be made in two years, as it will not be
the policy of the commander OF the squadron
to remain in any port for more than a few
days. 1t will be q splendid opportunity for
continual fleet drill, it is believed, and with
all kinds of weather to be encountered the
cruise will try the mettle OF the ships to just
that extent that naval officers are DESTROYS
OF seeing.
