harbor my attention was attracted by IN noeuvres
Of Hayttan gumboat had heard Of the port beine
blocksded, and consequently kept my weather eye
open in anticipation of trouble The thick heavy fog
aided me wonderfully in evadng tho man-ofwar, and
ere they knew what was about, had shaken her of
and was safe inside the harbor. I tried bit Of
strategy before running the gauntlet on the homo
wafd-bound trip hoistcd the American flag at my
forenast ana the English flag to the peak Of my
main. Tho gunboat Toussaint pOuverture steamed
around rs and blew her whistle. my life depended

the whistle had gave orders to sound our whistle,
which Is Of the Eyren pattern. such as they use on

In speaking Of the Hayttans gunnes and fighters,
tho Captain said: al was down at Cape Hayten
whom one Of the war ships shellsd the town. Ono
hundred and one shots fired at the settlement,
and the only shot that struck was ono OF the last

Haytan gunboats was attempting to stop one OF
the North German Lloyd steamers. There was no
earthy for their doing Is her coors wero

everybody. This is the second tme this line OF
siesuers has been stopped By these people. and II
would not surprise to see German war ship run
down and sink the three of the Hsyzan crafts, Tor
this Is all they have. One Of these ships yas run

The cruelty of man to his OWL

isis during all past ages, but there
are degrees of brutality the same as
there of affection and friendship.

necessarily, even upon dnmb brute.

Late invest cations in the public in

to light such system of cruelty
towards these unfortunates that the
good name of the city has been
tarnished. If we still believed as
people did In tho first centuries OF
Christianity, that insane persons
were possessed of devils there
would be no sense in harsh treat
ment; but in this age of advance
ment, when insanity is properly
1:assed as desease, there is not the
shadow of an, excuse for InfIicting
punishment upon these victims of

We sincerely hope that
these cruel practices will be stopped,

punished severely.

The experiment of placing the in,
sane on farms is to be tried by the
New York city authoriti,a About
fifty men from the Waro'5 Island
asylum have been sent to q tlousand-
acre farm near lslip. L. l., where
they will enjoy wholesome labor in
the open air. 1t is expected that the
oyercrowded asylum will be relieved
of 300 of the steadiest patients this
summer. The experiment will be
watched with much interest. 1t has
proved q success in Europe, and there
seems to be no good reason why il
should fail in this country. Our
state asylums are greatly overcrowd
ed, and if this New York plan
succeeds, why should not al
asylums be relieved of able-bodied
men and women who could convert
some of our undeveloped lands into
orchards and vineyards? If farm
labor is wholesome for sane men. The
Influences of air and soil ought to 5e

man comes here highly recommended as
boat builder. In Australia. his late
home, his reputation waa that OF first
class builder. Mr.. Perrot's boats will be
for hire and for sale. This new industry
in our midst should receive that enoour-
agement that it deserves. Mr. Perrot

Daily we are questioned regarding
the Port Townsend Southern rail
road. The main point of inquiry is,
'Do you really think the road will
be bullt?" Of course the question
means in the near future. We have
always answered in the affirmative,
relying on the information that has
been furnished us. This question is
asked Us not only by residents of this
place, but by those in cities away
from here. We still have faith N
the gentlemen composing the com
pany, bat we too will have to soon be
placed among the doubling Thomases
unless something tangible is done.
Our railroad men doubtless mean
well, but they are too slow with their
meaning well. The people are grow
ing restless, and will not much
longer submit to the present condi-
ton Of affairs. Gentlemen, you have
franchise out OF which thousands
of dollars can be. made-then why is
it that you do not hasten the road to
completion? We do not care TO say
anything that will il the least throw
an obstacle in your way, yet we feel
that we owe duty to the public and
that We are not performing that duty
unless something be said urging you
to discontinue procrastiHation. A
railroad is our hope. The question

deck to the keel, for Il distance OF
twenty feet aft The tide flowed in
