son, of the Cafe Delmonico, a daugh-
ter. While to most married people an
announcement of this kind carries with
it but passing thought, but to Mr..
Emerson it is of more Importance than
a plain every day affair. An enter
prising cigar firm who was in.-town a
few months ago, and from whom Mr..
Emerson purchased a large stock of ci-
gars, suggested that q new brand be
called "Emerson's Delight" and that
a photograph of Pete's handsome little
girl Beryl be placed on each box. This
pleased Mr.. Emerson and everything
went all right until the commotion in
his house on Wednesday when the
more recent delight arrived The
youngest in family is usually the
favorite and should Of course have all
the honors, but as Beryl declines to
give up the title Mr.. Emerson intends
formulating plan by which he may
please the little one.

BROKE HER BACK.
THE IDAHO WRECKED ON
ROSEDALE REEF.
She is a Total Loss but is Insur-
ed for $4,000.

Mr. S. NJ. Garland, the only passcn'
ger on the idaho passed through the
city from the scene OF the wreck yes
terday morning. He gives the follow
ing account of the wreck
About O'Clock Friday morning the
boat was running near to the. Ameri-
can side, and the fog was so heavy tLIt
it looked as dark as if it was .thI2C
o'clock. No fog horn was heard either
at the Race Rock or Dungeness light
house, although the fog was very
heavy. In order to avoid the Dunge-
ness spit the boat bore near to the b. c.
side, constantly blowing her whistle.
Presently right in front of the steamer,
and only once, was heard the Race
Rock fog signal, but it was too late to
check the speed of the vessel. She ran
her bow over the ragged edge of the
rock, and it gored the vessel fully
twenty feet from the bow, through
which the water poured.
The sea was calm and all hands
were set to removing the lime, $50 bar
rels being removed when the lime
which had begun to be flooded with
water, broke out in flames.
The engine room had filled with
water and the donkey pump was start
ed to flood the lime. The lime that
was thrown overheard would rise to
the surface and explode blowing the
head Of the barrel clear into the air.
All the attention of the crew was given
to trying to save the vessel from being
burnt, and their prompt action in
flooding the lime, and throwing the
balance overheard undoubtedly saved
her from, being consumed by the
flames. The Union Jack was placed
upside down as signal of distress, and
finally Her Majesty's light house
keeper came to the scene of rescue, and
il was learned that the cause of the
whistles not blowing was because no
steam had been raised
At IL O'Clock one of the steam
launches from the man-Of-war at Es-
quimalt, came within signalling dis
tance OF the Idaho, and, she was sig
nailed to come along side to take on; a
passenger, but to this she paid no at
tention and steamed back as uncon-
cernedIy as if she had seen "a stranded
log. At about five o'clock the captain
manned the life boat and ME-. Garland
in company with three of the boats
officers was taken to Victoria. All day
long while the crew was battling with
the flames parties could be seen at the
light house who were perfectly calleu.
to every sense of kindness or duty
owed by every one to try and succour
the distressed, and the stolid uncon-
Germ of the British man-of-war to the
needs Of the stranded vessel, whose loss
was il, I great measure due to the crimi-
nal negligence of light house keeper
in the employ of the same government
can not be too highly censured.

Chinese Straw Braid.

The Commissioner OF Customs at Che
foo, China, referring to straw braid
says in his report for 1888: "The trade
received severe check in 1854 year
in which there was large expectation
and the foreigners engaged In 1t suffered
considerable loss, owing, In some meas
ure, to the carelessness with which the
braid was prepared. Prices had fallen
when this inferior braid had reached
the home markets, and 1t therefore be-
came practically unsaleable. The Ameri-
eap markets are said to be still suffering
from the over-supplies of that year.
Complsiuts from the home markets reach
ed such a point that the foreign mer-
chants engaged in the trade here pre-
s,nted Joint memorial to the Taotai,
through the British Consul, pointing out
the malpractices which had obtained, and
the damage to trade which would newt

tinued. In the beginning OF 1883 the
merchants almost entirely refused to
purchase, and business was only fully
resumed by the middle Of the year. This
action seemed to have the desired effect

produced. Another result was consid-
erable fall in prices all around, and the
native dealers are beginning to see the

A writor in the Chicago Mail says:
| captain Meridith, John Rithie and
George Shields known as old boreS
and '0.d timers sat around in the Press
Club one afternoon recently and talked
about the times of the war, and told Of
the funny capers that cannon b Ills and
musk.t balls cut. Captain Meredith
said he ouce found dead CoDfedera'e Q
behind a tree. The dead man was rest
ing on one knee, In position to shoot,
His musket was In his hands, the butt OF
the gun was against his shoulder, and
one eye was open, counting along the
gun barrel. There wasn't mark on the
body, but the man was stone dead.
There was a ten-pound cannon ball bur.
led In the tree. The man had been killed
by the conclusion. Mr.. Shields said
that he saw cannon ball go into the
ground about 200 yards IN front Of where
he was standing. He thought that was
the end OF the matter, but In about three
seconds the ball came out Of the ground
fifty yards beyond the place 1t struck.
at then, in Its flight struck stumr,
l carromed OIL, broke soldiers leg, and,
rolling on 4 few yards further, upset a
camp kettle aud scalded a mans hands.
John Richie said he saw man hit with
/ O spent cannon ball. He walked over
TO where the man lay to see what he could
do for him-give him drink out of hii
canteen, or a chew Of tobacco, or some-
thing but all that was visible was q
mass Of about 100 pounds Of flesh and
blue cloth, mixed UP like sausage, with
an eye and two teeth sticking out on top,
Captain Meredith said that, speaking ol
cannon balls, one Of the most novel sighti
he witnessed during the war was can
non ball about as big as flour barrel
going through Q horse length ~ise-thai

the least confident of its justice. Often

prevent others from depreciating them.
