Held Up on the Hill.

A certain young man on the hill made
= firm resolve last Monday night TO the
effect that when once he has retired to
his room he will never, no matter what
the circumstances may be, leave it ex-
cept to come down town to business in
the morning. The night the C. y. m.
made the resolve he had gone out ON the
street robed in Mother Hubbard-he
was walking in his sleep. Officer Bro
ply, who is fast earning a reputation as
a terror to bad characters, was in the
neigh ighborhood, and seeing what at first
appeared to be ghost, he hurried for
ward to the rapidly moving Mother
Hubbard, and asked the occupant what
he meant by going out dressed in that
fashion" The white robed figure re-
piled that it was "none of the officers
business" A Smith and Wesson being
carefully placed under the nose of the
alleged ghost convinced him that he was
being held up and might lose the only
garment he had on, and no explained
the matter to the officer A friendly ex-
change of apologies was made, and each
went his respective way.

The Steamship Lize.

The rapidly increasing trade between
Tacoma and tho other Sound ports, as
we'll as Alaska and California points,
has necessitated the addition OF more
and better steamship service. The trade
hss grown so fast that II has been i'm
possible for the local interests 10 keep
with it, even with the tiue new boats
which have been built within the past
ak months. Further, the we'll known
preference Of the Oregon Railway L
Navigation company's lines OF boats for
the Union Pacific, against the Northern
Pacific, and the certainty that the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems
will run into Tacoma or Steilacoom IN
the Immediate future, has had much to
do with hurrying up the establishment
Of the new lines. a company has been
outlined and the organization nearly
osmpIsted, which will ba composed OF
parties interested in the Alaska trade,
both here and il Frisco, local steamboat
msn and capitalists, as we'll as stock
holders in the Northern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Paul Sohulze probably knows more
about it :hGn any man this side Of New
York. IN 40 has charge of the negotia
tiops at this end of the line. The new
company, which will be controlled by
the Northern Pacific railroad, will have
boats running on the sound within the
next sixty days. The rumor that the
Wsshininton steamboat line was to be
purchased and the starter fer the new
limo was founded on the fact that sucn
q plan was mentioned as feasible. Not
anything has been done, however, to
that eud. 1t is probable that three or
fsur of the ocean boats will be from the
Atlantic, while the sound boats will be
built here or come from Frisco. Four
sound steamers will be put on which
will make daily trips 30 and from all the
principle sound ports. These boats will
be fast and commodious, aud will cost
from $4,000 to $120,000. -Four ocean
steamers for the Alaska and Frisco trade
will be put on, which will cost from 500,
600 TO $3.50, 900 each. The capital stock
of the new company will be 100000.
The sound steamers will be put on FIRST.
and the Alaska line will follow as SOON
as the boats can be procured. The
Frisco line Will be built last. This will
be the beginning of great steamboat
business. The Alaska trade will double
without q doubt, in the next three or
four years, ths trade with California will
bs greatly increased, line with the
Sand which Islands will be started, and
eventually with Asia.

bays, larger or smaller, which afford

room for whole fleets. Tacoma, Olym-

Corporal Tanner Speaks.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Aug. 1.-The six
O'clock Club, which includes a number
of prominent men, discussed last night
the civil service. In the course of bis
remarks Capt. Tanner said: II am ire
sistibly drawn to the conclusion that
there is too great difference between
the Christian religion and the civil ser
vice. In one, provision is made for for
giveness; in the other, il you Sin, you
are damned forever" He referred to
the case Of men who we're discharged
for Drunkenness who can never enter
the service again, although they have re-
formed. He thought there was no
danger from an office-holding aristoeracy
because life tenure was myth. Then
he told how the pension Office door was
closed against Democrat, as follows:
II had to decide very troublesome
question today. A man, in whose
veins ono would suppose the very quint
essence OF Republicanism vas injected,
Judging from the eloqueDce of his

to the effect that that document didn't

ing about the BRIG Consort'. which

sold as dull sailer; che was very strong
built to resist the Antartic ice and was
bought in eaI;y days by the Port Madi.
son Mill company and WAS lost in Port
San Juan opposite Neah bay, i'll 1858 or
g. Capt. Lawson writes "tell the Port
Admiral 10 ransack the dark cavities of
his memory box for "reminiscences of the
"Consort." Port Admiral john Slater
reports 10 Judge Swan that he has "ove r
hauled the log book of his memory" and
finds that tie ''Consort" was brig rigGed;
she was a vessel of 225 80 tons register.
After she was bought and enrolled il
the San FrancIcco Custom House, J. J .
Felt was the managing owner. She was
altered from brig to a brigRniine, her
masts wsre topped different and from
being dull salIer she proved very fast.
The Admiral thinks she was at one time
used as pilot boat at the mouth OF the
Hoogly river, Calcutta. She was used
in the lumber trade, but only carried a
small cargo and was finally lost in Port
San Juan and broken up. The qut sticU
TO be settled is was this vessel the identi-
cal "Consort'', tender to Wilkes Explor-
ing expedition or hot. Capt. Lawson
thinks she was, ard Port Admiral Slater
thinks she was, but neither are positive.

most forgotten. The tunnel will extend
from NorIon street on the New York
side. to point near the Erie Railroad
in jersey City. After an interval OF
nearly two years actual work was re-
sumed last week. 1t was begun in 1873
hut work has been suspended several
times for lack OF funds. Now, however.
for the first time the financial part OF
the undertaking has been placed on a
firm basis. There Will really be two
tunnels, one to be known rs the north
tunnel and the other, as the south tun-
mel. The actual length of each will be
$500 feet, besides an approach Of three
fourths of mile on each side. Two
thousand feet have been tanneIed and
the rest will be completed in time for
the Worlds Fair of 1892.

The absurdity of giving to small
towns in this country the names OF
great cities in Europe is well illus.
trated by the fate of three towns in
Georgia which were bnilt about one
hundred years ago, at what was
thought to he the head Of navigation
on the Savannah River, and were
named, in view of their prospective
greatness, Petersburg, Lisbon and
Vienna. But steam navigation aud
railroads came and diverted the
course Of trade, and now despite
these great names the three towns
are deserted and in ruins.
