THE slStIOS r,

The new steamship |ehome, which is
to take the place OF the North Pacific on
the Victoria route, arrived here last night
from Astoria, having made The trip in
twcnty-ninc hours.
The vessel is Il side wheeler, and with
this exception resembles the old steamer
on the Columbia river rauto. She is
shorter than the Potter and not nearly
so we'll finished. She has twenty-eight
StatcroOms, with single and double
berth in each. The upper forward cabin
was formerly = pSrt ot the Mountain
Queen, which ran on the Willamette
river few years age. Her machinery
was originally used III the Daisy Aims
worth, which was wrecked above the
Cascades. They were then placed in the
Mountain Queen, and afterwards placed
in the Sehome. This is the first trip Of
this vessel, and she stood it like a duck.
crossing the bar in company with the
Laku.e. She made the trip from Port
land to Astoria at an average OF IA knots.
As she is a new boat it cannet yet be de-
termined just what her speed will be; it
is not thought, however, that it will ex-
coed lG knots per hour. Her freight ca
pacity is two hundred tons. In the be-
ginning Of this article it is stated that
the steamer is to run between Tacoma
ana Victoria. The reporter for the AR
GUS was misinformed AS to the route
She will take the place OF the Emma

SPORTING MELANGE.
McAuliffe Will Fight Carroll.

The long wrangle between Jimmie
Carroll and Jack McAulife is over.
President Fulda, of the California club,
received u dispatch from McAuIiffa H.
which the champion accepts f;trrolI's
challenge to fight 1T f33 pounds, that
is, that McAulitie forfeit the champion
ship and belt to Carroll in cona!;inr
alton of being allowed to so into the
ring AT l37 pounds, Articles will be
sIgne!. at once, and the fight is set
down for February. McAuliife VIII
start west some time this month. BY
the terms of agreement of forfeiture
Carroll will remain lightweight cham
pion, even in the event of his defeat,
which will give Meyer chance at him,
if he so desires, after the McAulifft,
matter IL settled.
Confident predictions almost daily
made that some accident would surely
happen to keep Murphy and Weir out
of the ring on the 27th instant have
been verified. Weir's injured hand
has become so much worse that it will
be impossible for him TO fight on che

ing he performed the California club

Our TceIandic DISCOVERIES.

Old Icelandic records positively de-
clare that in the Eleventh century Lief,
a Norseman, sailed southwark and made
a settlement that he named Vinland.
The Icelandic people to this day claim
that their ancestors discovered America
before Columbus.
Mr.. E. W. Horsford, of Cambridge,
Mass, has been for some years investi-
eating this subject. He has studied the
Icelandic sages and the Oldest maps and
records of European explorers. He has
come to the conclusion that the Morse
mems claims are well grounded. In
New England he recognizes Vinland,
and in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
other localities visited by Lief. He also
thinks that Cambridge itself is the site
of an ancient city called Norumbega,
and believes he has discovered some of
it's ruined Notifications.

Starving Professionals.

In Germany there are three times as
many professional men as there is work
for them to do. One-third die, go into
other occupations, or leave the country.
Another third manage to drag out a half
starved existence, with no prospect but
the poor house in old age. The other
third succeed reasonably well, some bril-
iantly. The London Spectator remarks
that the same is true for England. In
America it is at least as bad. Time and
again our young men have been warned
that the professions are overcrowded,
that t-slast-tthhs5yy must go elsewhere If they
would make a living. Go into shop shop
keeping, say their advisers, learn a
trade, or go on farm. But there are
more things to sell now than people to
buy; the trades are so full that the
unions permit only so many boys an
nually to go into them; farmers say:
Don't come into our ranks. There are
so many of US now, farm products are
away down to nothing. Keep away
from here. On the whole, if boys and
girls will have the good taste and good
sense not to be born for a generation or
two, till the old stock gets worked off, it
will help solve the problem of living
NIGHTLY.

Why He Succeeded.

Those who write inspiring and instruc.
tive books for young people will find q
new theme in the life of B, 7. Babbitt,
the soap manufacturer. To grown peo,
pie he will be immortalized as the man
who first made a decent soap, at a'mod-
crate cost, in America For this alone
he is to be classed among the benefactors
of his country. He it was, too, who be-
gan the invention of that agricultural
machinery which has made America
famous the world over.
No college bred lad was B. T. Babbitt.
a farm boy with only the rudiments of
education, he learned the blacksmith
trade as soon as he was man grown. Here
he first found he had inventive genius,
and here he learned that practical work
ing of iron and machinery which was
afterwards of incalculable value to him.
Everything that came to him, no mat
ter how insignificant, was an opportu-
nifty of which he made good use. This
was one secret of his success.
Another was that he never gave up.
Disappointment after disappointment
struck him, like blows in the face. They
staggered him, but could not down him,
because he was man who could not be
downed. That will be good point to
emphasize with the boys and girls.
He had fair start in 1S43, when he
was 80 years old. Then, through the
dishonesty of man he trusted, he lost
every dollar he had. Nothing daunted,
he began again, trying harder than ever.
So many difficulties beset him that not
till he was so years old did he really be-
gin to gather the fortune of S5,000,000
of which he died possessed Another
strong point in his character was his
kindly, trusting nature. This trait he
never lost, though deceived over and
again and subjected to heavy losses
from those he had trusted. In spite
of the losses he continued to trust his
fellow men, and with it all he was not
prevented from laying up $4,000, 900.
Another fact to note was his strong,
erect, healthy body. He got it from the
active, outdoor life of his boyhood.
This rugged health and strength stayed
with him almost till the very last, and
he was so years old when he died.

~ocean TRAGEDIES of september.

The tragedy of the i'll fated steamer
Earnmoor, of the Earn line, is one that
might we'll figure in master sea story by
fiction writer. twenty-five men started
merrily out in the steamer Earnmoor,
from Philadelphia, about the 1st of Sep
tember Oct. 81 seven weak, broken
men returned again to Philadelphia, all
that remained of the brave crew of the
Earnmoor. She was caught in the Sep
tember cyclone on the 5th of the month
and foundered. The captain and thir-
teen men went down with her. Eleven
took the lifeboat, hoisted their coats upon
an oar for a sail, and so rode the tremen-
deus seas. Twenty days they were in
this open boat on the ocean. 80
Ill they ate during that time was a
flying fish and two small sea birds, de-
voured raw. 1t seems incredible. Dur
ing the twenty days there was rain
three times, and the men squeezed the
fresh water out of the sail into their
mouths, and SO quenched their thirst.
On the eleventh day the engineer and
mate sat alone in the stern of the boat.
A man approached them with wildness
in his eye.
We have made up our minds to draw
lots" said he, s'to see who shall be killed
and eaten to save the lives of the rest. /"
The engineer seized the madman by the
throat and told him the two in the stern
of the boat would have nothing to do
with this foul deed. This daunted the
rest, and they were saved from adding
cannibalism to the tragediessof the tale.
But the madman sprang overheard and
drowned himself. Three others died
from exposure. How any lived is the
marvel.
The same day that brought the Earn
moor survivors home, news came Of an
other sea tragedy. The Bristol steamer
Brooklyn City, on the 12th of September,
rescued the starving survivors of the
wrecked bark Baron Podester. They
had dashed. themselves to the bowsprit
and squeezed drops of rain water from
their clothing to stay Il thirst,
But how many tragedh Sof the awful

Green Goods and Green People.


The newspapers have done their best
to enlighten the stranger on the ways
that abound for taking him in, but some
how how il il does seem as though there were
just as many fools as ever. A fellow
calling himself Charles Wilson, of Ho-
boken. N. j., has been practicing on the
innocent gHllibles of Alabama and Geor--
gia. chiefly, in a way to make angels
weep By means known to rogues, he
secured numbers of names of country
people, and some not from the country,
and then sent them circulars informing
them that for 81 he would send them
$40 worth Of counterfeit money, good
enough to deceive even the very elect. 1t
was quite surprising the number of vir-
tuous citizens who bit at the bait. The
scamp had even given the name of re-
liable Philadelphia firm for reference.

of their fellow countrymen would be
that they were served right.

The San Francisco Chronicle feels hurt
that the welcome California habitually
extends to strangers should be set down
only to the shrewd eye to business devel-
oped by the western man. California is
fond of company on general principles,
says The Chronicle, and lavishes her
wealth Of fruits and wines upon visitors
because she likes to. Well, well, who
doubts it? There is large, generous
hospitality throughout the whole west,
by no means least among those who are
not unwilling to do a tenderfoot if good
opportunity offers. ...

1t has long been thought that Chicago
was gassy city. But nobody supposed
the gas had struck in. There can be no
doubt of the fact, however, since vein
of natural gas shot up from under the
lake bed, caught fire from lamp car
ried by some laborers employed Il. tun-
neling for the new water works and seri-
ously burned the men. Doubtless the
gas has been accommodating under there
since the first real estate boom in Chi
cago, until now there is probably enough
to supply the whole city with heat and

with 81 ,250, 900 in less than two years.
