The Story of an Old Schooner.

The Oldest wooden vessel afoat to-day
is the schooner Polly, of Owle's Head,
Maine, owned by Louis Arey, and she has
a romantic story to tell, says the Lewiston
journal. She is a heroine of the war OF
1912, and did valiant service as pri-
vateer. She was built at Amesbury,
Mass, in 1904, for the West Indian trade,
and proved a very fast sailer. When the
war of 1912 broke out the Polly was
among the first to be fitted out as pri-
vateer. Her decks were altered somewhat
to accommodate her crew, over 100 men
all told. She was under command of
Captain Handy, than whom no better
seaman could be found in Eastern waters
The officers and crew, like the Captain
were all thorough seamen, having spent
the greater portion of their lives upon the
water. Born, as it were, without fear, but
not reckless, for perfect discipline pre-
vailed, they formed most determined
band. The armament of the Polly con-
sisted of one long Tom and dozen or more
lighter guns, not to speak of large sup
ply of small arms, cutlasses, etc. AT the
close of the war she once more entered
the coasting trade, making occasional trips
to the West Indies. Although her own.
ers were changed many times, her business

Railroad Employees Uniting Their Forces
for Mutual Protection.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 25th.-One of the
most notable meetings of railway employees
ever held in this city convened this after
noon. For some time past the question OF
federatingl the various orders of the railway
service has been agitated, and to-day s
meeting was looked to for the accomplish.
ment of that object. Fully fifty delegates
were present from Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky
and Michigan, representing the following
orders: brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, Brotherhood of Conductors, Switch
mems Mutual Aid Association, and Broth
erhood of Railroad Tlainmen.
The meeting was called to order by VIM.
Hugo, OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. Colonel J. B. MAYNARD, of this
citv, addressed the meeting. He said much
has already been done by the Order acting
separately. but what did one organization
amount to in conflict with the corporations.
1t has been demonstrated that one organ
ization could easily be defeated in contest
with capital, but capital could never tri-
umph in contest with such federation
as is now proposed.
Past Grand Master Robinson. founder of
the Brotherhood of Engineers, said the
beneficial results OF organized and disci-
plined action were no longer matters of
speculation. They were demonstrated
truths. I'm the great railroad lines of this
country" said Robinson, sis seen the most
colossal aggregation of wealth the world has

as rivals, they are constantly pooling their

every reason to believe they also pool their
influences and power in any prolonged con-
f1ict with labor. 1t is against these gigan-
tic forces, with well-known tendencies to

BILE accident occurred at Watuppa Lake
this afternoon. Seven men and women
and number of children went rowing in

When the boat was within twenty feet of
the shore one of the children began rock.

the craft capsized.
Two men at the pumping station were
the only ones in sight, and they could do
nothing. Mr.. Turner, one of the unfortunate
party, was the only one who could swim.
He succeeded in bringing one man ashore,
and four others of the party managed to
reach land in an exhausted condition,
The people on shore cried to the others to
cling to the boat. but their failing strength
was unequal to the task, and they sank be-

A NIURDEROUs PLOT.
An American Millionaire to Have Be
the First Victim.

An American MiInOnalre TO Have Been
the First Victim.
PARIS, May 25th.-Police investigations
into the plot to murder DR.. Cornelius Herr,
the American millionaire, have already
revealed widespread conspiracy against
not only him but number of other rich
foreigners. He was to have been the first
victim.
DIR. Herr will be well remembered in
San Francisco, as formerly for several years
a prominent member of the Board of
Health of that city. He also established
electrical works, and did much to develop
the use of electricity in the arts. He was
for time chief physician of the Mount
Sinai Jewish Hospital in New York. He
represented the United States at the Con-
gress of Electricians here in 1881, and was
the founder and chief promoter of the In
ternational Electrical Exhibition. Since
that time he has been associated with the
Rothschllds in numerous electric factories,
railroads and other enterprises.
DR.. Herr was one of General Boulanger's 8
warmest friends during the latter's career
as Minister of War, and he is close friend
of President Carnot and of nearly every i'm
portant public man in France.
He is a naturalized American citizen,
and persistently refuses to ALLEVIATE himself
from the United States. He was at one
time offered a cabinet portfolio as Minis
ter of Posts and Telegraphs if he would
only become French citizen, but de-
clined. He rather prides. himself on his
American citizenship, and declares that he
will one day return to the United States to
live, making his home probably in San
Francisco,

The Denver Bank Robber is Safe in
Jail.
ST.. LOUIS, May 25th.-Mansfield King. q
self.confessed murderer and horse thief and
all.around criminal, in Jail at Clayton, st.
Louis county, has been fully identified as
Wells, the robber, who compelled President
Moffat, of the First National Bank of Dem
yer, to hand over $21 600 in cash in March,
1889, at the point of revolver.
II. G. Otis, assistant cashier of the bank,
arrived in this city few days ago, and
went to Clayton, where King is lying at the
point of death. Until last night King wore
full beard and long hair. When be com.
mitted the robbery he had only small
mustache, and for that reason Otis failed
to identify him at first. Last night, how
ever, a barber was called in and Kings
beard shaved off, and Otis Immediately
recognized him as Wells, the robber. King
was arrested some days ago for horse-steai-
ing. After arrest he was taken very sick,
became communicative, and confessed to
being the author of several crimes, one of
which was the Denver robbery.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.
Some Statements by Statesmen in Regard
to the German War.


to the German War.
PARIS. May 25th.-The Due de Broelie
discredits Prince Bismarck's assertions to
the effect that Germany will not attack
France in any circumstances if left to her
own initiative in her relations with this
country. He declares that at the time
when be was himself in office, in 1873. as
Premier of the Cabinet under the Presi.
dency of Marshal Mcmahon, Bismarck de-
signed to inaugurate new war; attacking
France while she was still weak and almost
helpless from the late misfortunes The
object of the proposed war was, as the Iron
Chancellor intended, TO render France for
ever impotent as a political and warlike
power in Europe. Bismarck, he says. was
prevented from carrying out the idea at the
time by his want of confidence in the alli-
ances OF Germany with other strong Pow
ers of the continent.
Another ex-Minister, who was in the
Government at the same time as the Due
de Broglie. likewise accuses Bismarck of
inciting the Kaiser and the German Gov
ernment to another war upon France in
1875 and again in 1887

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got 1t for Him.

A few months ago one of the unfortunate
inmates in the San Francisco Almshouse
was inspired by the sensational statements
in the newspapers with the belief that joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla would help him. But
without money, how to get it was the ques-
ton. Finally he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and it was
not unheeded, the coveted preparation be-
ing sent by the next parcel delivery. Its
effect is best told in subsequent letter, from
which we quote the following
~ suppose you know me by this writing,

Morrow presented at the department, Sec
retary Proctor has written the following:
Upon reference to the commanding
General of the Department of the Pacific,
the latter reports that Angel island is a
very important station from the fact that a
large garrison is stationed there for artil-
lery, and it is the right flank of the only
torpedo system in the San Francisco har-
Dor. In future military and naval institu-
tions will be established on the Pacific
coast, also schools. The commanding
General of the Department of the Pacific
therefore hopes the authorities will oppose
the efforts to convey Angel island into
pest-house, smallpox hospitals and like
asylums. General Miles views are also

New YORK, May 25th.-The steamer
Bayswater, which sailed from New York
on March 10th for Lisbon, is undoubtedly

whom are supposed to have gone to the

two weeks ago by the Lloyds of London as
missing.
At the local office of the company this
morning, Mr.. Eyde, one of the firm, said :
THE Bayswater is undoubtedly lost. You
know there have been many good ships
that sailed one fine day from port and
never turned up again. Their fates will
never be known. The Bayswater was
worth in the neighborhood Of 100000. 1

agents, and of course do not know either
what she was worth. the amount of insur-
ance or any of those little points. l under

Enormous Appropriatious.

WASHINGTON, May 25th.-The couserva-
tive members of Congress are beginning to
feel uneasy over the enormous appropria-
tlons pending and contemplated, aggregat-
ing over $500, 100000 for the fiscal wear of
1891. The Secretary of the Treasury is es-
timated to place the revenues, from all
sources, at $3.50, 100000. If these estimates
of appropriations and revenues are correct,
deficit of over S100,O00,0 600 will occur at
the end of the fiscal year of 1891.
The President is said to be very much
dissatisfied with the lavish appropriations.
1t is feared he will veto the river and har-
Dor bill, as well as numerous public build
ing bills
