Fired From a Curious Cause.

Portland, Ore, dispatch of the 18th
says: Yesterday the passenger steamer
j. HI. Libby, from Whatcom, Puget
sound, was totally destroyed by fire in
the straits between Dangeness and
Smiths Island. The Libby was laden
with 500 barrels of lime, which got
wet and ignited. While crossing
the straits strong wind came up
and several heavy seas were shipped,
the rudder unshipped, and the steamer
became helpless. The lime got saturated
and flames were soon discovered. An
attempt was made to run the steamer
ashore, but the flames spread too rapid
ly. Fifteen passengers were on board,
and the fire gained so fast that they
could not get into lifeboats, but were
compelled to take to two RATS. The
passengers and crew were divided
about equally. One of the RATS near
lY foundered before those climbing
into it were rescued. Finally the steam
schooner Jean came along and took all
from the RATS. The hull OF the burned
steamer was afterward towed to Port
Townsend and sunk. The Libby be-
longed to Herbert f. Beecher, late gov
eminent treasury agent. Several bags
of United States mail were burned, in
Guiding one pouch of registered letters.
The steamer and cargo was valued at
$4,000.

Will Gu to Duluth.

Minneapolis will lose the vast bust
ness interests of the Washington Crosby
Milling Company. says dispatch of the
18th. This is a settled thing. The
present company's lease expires in
September, 1890, and as there is
an option on the property given to
an English syndicate, which will
probably be closed, the company
is per force compelled to look for
another location. With this end in
view President Bell, of the Wasnburn-
Crosby Company; G. III. Della Barre, the
company's eng neer; c. M. Harrington
and several Boston capitalists have gone
to Duluth to look into the matter. Said
President Bell 1--WE are under the
impression that the English syndi-
cate will buy. We feel that we
can transfer the business of our
company to any new location we
may decide upon. We are doing bust
ness of SIC, 900, 900 year. We also have
received urgent solicitation from Buffa-
10 parties to locate there. We cannot

r. 0. Beard, M. D., of Minneapolis,
delivered lecture last evening IN the
First Methodist church, to men only,
under the auspices of the White Shield
league. Bishop Gilbert presided, and
the church was we'll filled, the audi
ence being to large extent the better
class of laboring men.
DR.. Beard merely attempted TO lay
before his hearers the fact that phySi-
cal and moral tendencies are to large
extent hereditary in character. but may
be overcome by judicious education of
a physical and moral nature. This ed
ucation in many instances must be pre-
natal in charact g., and physical and
moral tendencies must be taken into
account in contemplating, marriage.
Where vice places men i'll the power of
the law their education should he re-
formatory, and by this means heredi-
tafy tendencies can be overcome.
When vice does not extend to GRIMM
ality the education must begin young.
The child born with inherited tenden
cieS to vice can have them SO Subdued
by proper environment and influence
that they become negative quality.
The lecturer impressed upon his hear
ers that the mother is to greater eX-
tent than the father the tranSmitter of
physical and moral tendencies, and it. is
by the elevation of woman that the hui
man race Can be improved. The pres
ence of any hereditary vice or disease
should entitle either parent to refuse
marital relations, and the speaker in
dorsed the action of the English lord
chief justice in the case of Lord Colin
Campbell, who sued for divorce on
the ground of his wife's refusal to Co
habit. Her reply was that his lordship
had an incurable hereditary disease,
and on this ground the judge sustained
her action. He emphasized the fact
that maternity is the highest and nobleSt
sphere of woman. and whatever else
she does she Must subordinate it to the
act of maternity. Physical culture will
act upon the moral nature, and vice
versa. and education will in time eradi-
cate Inherited tendencies to vice.
Bishop Gilbert thanked the doctor for
his address, and announced that the
ladies of the " hite Shield league, under
whose auspices the lecture was given,
we're in need of money, appealing for a
copiouS subscription and asking the
young men to come up and sign the
