BLANCHE W. AoWARD's NATIVITY
Judge Webb Had to be Called In to
Prove the Fact.

Miss Blanche Willis Howard, who is now
in Germany, proposes to translate her books
into that language, and in order to arrange
for her copyright it was necessary to prove
the place Of her nativity. This seems To he
very easy matter, but it is not nearly az
simple as 1t appears on the surface. Miss
Howard wrote to her father, d. M. Howard
ESQ.,, of Bangor, who conferred with Con.
gresham Boutelle relative to getting the
document properly Endorsed at WASHINGTON.
where it was taken in charge by Mr.. Thos
M. Sherman, for long time connected with
the State Department, who very courteonslv
obtained the necessary signatures and re-
turned it to Bangor. Victor Brett. ESQ.
city clerk of Bangor, first certified To the fact
that Miss Howard was born in that citv, His
signature was certified to by United Statas
Commissioner Hamlin, whose official si~no
ture was in turn certified to by Judge Wahh
of the United States District Court ~ me
city. The clerk of said court. Mr. Davis
then certified to the signature of the Judee
when the document was ready to be forward,
ed to Washington. Then 1t was taken In
Attorney General Miller, who certified IN tbe
signatures of the court officials, then II re-
ceived the Endorsement OF Secretary Rlaine
of the State Department, and fnally the sig'
nature of the head of the German legation
When 1t was returned to Bangor it bore the
seals of all the various departments thronoh
which 1t had passed, and aside from it, i'm

PIRATES OF sAILEY's MISTAKE.
A Shipwrecked Crew Made the Tar
get for voIIeys of Stones.

EAsTPoRT, April 19.-The Sentinel tells
the story of thrilling experience Of the
crew Of the schooner Flora, Capt. Eldorado
Lee, bound from Boston to Eastport, which
collided with the st. John woodboat Sea
Foam, the 18th inst, about $50 o'cloc k when
off Long Point, a mile this side of Cutler
The Flora had 20 tons of coke in her hold
for 81. Blanchard & Sons, and $50 barrels of
-four for Pike & Kilby. Capt. Lee found his
vessel had large hole stove in her port bow
and was leaking so badly that he run her
ashore on Boot Head beach at about an hour
Of low tide. The captain and crew landed,
and the former came to Eastport for help.
Capt. Henry Cram who was In charge of the
crew while Capt. Lee came to Eastport, says
gang Of Is or 20 men from the vicinity of
"Bailey's Mistake" came upon them Sun
day night and by every means, tried to drive
them away from the vessel and such cargo
and property as they had got ashore, that
they might plunder and wreck the stranded
craft.
The shipwrecked crew were continually
pelted with stones and ordered to leave their
charge upon threats Of the direst kind.
Obliged to seek shelter from the stones
hurled by cowardly thieves concealed in
bushes near by, they huddled together in the
waters edge, with the vessel offering shield
for them till the tide drove them away to
seek shelter behind the jutting crags and
deep crevices of the inhospitable shore. This
sort OF Indian warfare was carried on nearly
ell night, and Capt. Cram who has spent a
half century or more navigating along this
coast, says this was the worst he ever put in
and he thought daylight would never come.
Monday morning the West Quoddy Life
Saving crew came to their assistance and
helped them from their trouble. The life
saving crew got the Flora off, patched her
up and took her to Eastport.

CALDWELL, Kan, April 1e.-one thous-

were slowly moving along The trail. The
day was favorable, and the trail was IN very
good condition. The most popular outfit Is
strong canvas covered Studebaker drawn
by two large, stout horses. The horses of
the boomers are all looking In good condl-
tlon. Some large wagons have four and
even six horses. Some persons are mounted
on ponies. carrying whole camp outfits be-
hind their saddles, while some are crossing
the strip in buggies. One Eastern outfit con-

that the movement would occur today be-

settlers remained In their camps until the
afternoon OF yesterday. Late In the day
there continued TO be almost a continuous
stream Of wagons on Summit street. Most
Of the arrivals in the afternoon camped here
last night and proceeded this morning.

The Coast Defence Vessel More
Costly Than Estimated.
President harrlson's Part In the Fes-
tivlties at New York.
Nominations by the President and
Various Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The board Of
bureau officers considering the proposals re-
ceived for building an armored coast defence
vessel have reported to the Secretary of the
Navy. 1t is understood the board finds it
not possible to build the vessel under the
lowest bid tS1,614,0o0 and comply with the
terms of the act of Congress. which fixes the
total cost of naval rams, batteries and other
naval structures to be built under the au-
thorization at $2,0O00OO. Altogether there
would be deficit of about 100000 If the
lowest bid was accepted. The next move of
the department, If the report is accepted by
Secretary Tracy, will be to readvertise for
proposals. II that fails to secnre a reduc-
tion, then an appeal to Congress for an in
crease in the limit Of the total cost will be
made.

Schemes which Land Officials VIII
Watch,

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The general
land office officials have information that
persons will attempt to evade the law Of
homestead entry in Oklahoma. The method
is to procure from a soldier a declaratory
statement which wlll.operate to reserve lands
for six months and also TO obtain from the
soldier a REIMBURSEMENT Of his rights there
under. The sharpers will then be able at
any time within six modths 10 sell these
claims 10 persons desiring homes. BY
fling the REIMBURSEMENT the purchaser 90
tains the preference Of right In the land To-
Gated. Every possible effort will be made
by the general land officials to prevent the
eonsummati0n OF these f.auds. When found
guilty, the parties will be prosecuted TO the
full extent Of the law for perjury. The law
upon the subject permits the settler TO make
entries through attorneys who must swear
they have no personal interest In the claim
and the filings are not made with view TO
relinquishing the claim.
