though he is rightfully the incumbent by
reason OF his services to the country, his
career has not been such is to mako his
name over familiar to people generally
HIS military life has been long and the
duties faithfully performed, but il! few
events has he been very conspicuous.
Cen. Scholicld was born on the Goth OF
September, 1881. He graduated from
the United States Military academy in

Mcpherson and Hood Before the war
he left the service to bccoiue a professor
of natural science in a university, but at
the breaking out Of llos. lilics ho entered
the army as volunteer. A ma jor'. com

on Nov. 81, 1861, he had reached the grade
OF brigadier general. He served all
through the war, notably i'll the Atlanta

Deaths at Sea.

"a great deal has been DONE" said an
old sailor the other day, Ito improve the
lot Of the men before the mast, since first
went to sea as cabin hoy, and when
ever a; complaint is properly lodged
against cruel officer, must say it is
fairly investigated. Yet for all that,
there are plenty Of murders committed
today on the high seas that are never in
vestigated because no complaint is made.
Every day one or two vessels come into
this port with q shorter crew than they
started out with and their captains re-
ports Of seaman fell overheard and was
lost or cabin boy killed by falling SPAR.
or coal passer died from heart trouble
and was buried at sea, are accepted as
perfectly satisfactory. No investigation
is made into the death. unless some one
lodges It formal complaint
Its an easy matter for one man who
has grudge against his mate to shove
the other overheard. if they are both up
in the rigging in dark and stormy
night. The unseen cutting of rope is
often enough to do it 1t is easy to drop
block or MARINE spike on the head Of
o man below, that will knock him dazed
into the water to drown. or down to the
deck to smash his skull Heart trouble
covers a great deal of insufficient nour-
ishlncnt, lack of medicine and overwork
This is not the way things are done on
land. You have your coroners here to
investigate sudden deaths, why should
they not look into deaths at sea? Many
poor towards would tell the truth against
their officers, if they were thus forced to
do SO. who would not dare come forward
and lodsea complaint they might be I'M
able fully to prove. New York Tribune

Como to Ruin,

Sherman Island was one of the first
islands reclaimed and a few years ago
was. a perfect garden spot. In 1878 the
island, which is Of a peaty formation,
caught fire and burned for months. The
smoke was so dense that vessels found
difficulty in navigating both the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers 1t burued
out in some places to depth of fifteen
and twenty feet, and the island today is
entirely submerged. No one lives upon
it at all except few fishermen, whose
floating houses are tied upon what was
once levee. The town of CHINATOWN
Is no more. The residences are aban-
doned, tho wharf and warehouses tlilapi-
dated and unused, while the water stands
up to the windows in the school house.
