THE CREW DESERTED.
How Kindness OF Royal A1ice's Master

How Kindness OF Royal AIice's Master
Was Requited by Seamen.
Bark Royal Alice finished loading her cargo
OF wheat yesterday and will be towed to Port
Townsend today. Her cargo consists of 1880
tons. She will be delayed short time in Port
Townsend, as five members of her crew have
deserted and others will have to be secured at
Port Towsend to take their places Two of the
men left when the vessel first arrived here, two
left at Tacoma and another left Monday night.
AL of the men had considerable money due
them, and the last one to leave had SIS of bal.
ance coming to him. A young fellow who still
remains aboard the vessel was seen by Posi-
INTELLIGENcER reporter and said that the men
had no cause for deserving, and he considered it
o foolish move on their part.
Captain Law feels rather annoyed over the
matter, az he says he has made it a special
point to endeavor to please his men. On reach
ing here, he says, he gave each man the priv
tlege OF buying goods to the amount of $50,
while the rule is to conf1ne them to $40 or SIS
worth of goods. They could buy the goods
where they pleased SO long as they all bought
In one store, so that one bill would cover the
entire amount Besides this he gave each man
$3.50 in cash for pocket money every Saturday
night while in port, though the rule is to give
each man not more that 81 per week. Then
some of them complained to the British consul
that he had not been treating them properly,
but all they could bring against him was that
he had said when he was excited one day that
he would "work the growing out of them"
"Sailors are q peculiar class Of men," said
Captain Law. "This is true of them the world
over. 1t seems they can not appreciate fairness
on the part OF the master of a vessel. I know
some masters beat and otherwise misuse their
men, but they are just as apt to do an injustice
to a kind master as they are to one of this kind.
feel that seamen are human and should be
treated as such. / do not believe in beating or
misusing them, but really feel that they do not
have as much consideration for the masters of
vessels. expect now that I shall be blamed
for giving them more money than l was allowed
to give them according to the rates"

Fruit Dealers W ant the Roads to Re.

A busy West street fruit dealer said yesterday
that the supply OF fruit in the market was tre-
mendous, especially California grapes and
peaches.
'That there is an oversupply," he said, "can
generally be told by the fact of the huckster
standing on the street corner and crying his
wares.
"There Is little profit in the fruit business
here" said the dealer, "on account OF an Excess
sive freight tariff. Now we get a quantity OF
our merchandise from Walla Walla, and we pay
less to the growers and make less our
selves because of the high freight which
the railroad exaets of US. We pay SO cents per
100 for car load lots and 80 cents per 100 for less
than car load lots. All fruit men agree that %
cents per 100 would be fair compensation to
the common carrier. The commission mer-
chants intend to seek relief in practical form

Eloping Couple Returns Home to Re
ccive Maternal Blessing.

Louis Hatfield, driver OF butchers wagon
for II. 5. Bittencourt, who eloped with Nellie
Barnum, a l6-year-old girl, Sunday night re-
turned to the city yesterday afternoon with the
girl, now his bride. The couple were married
in Victoria Monday morning. The mother OF
the runaway girl, Mis-. Flora Cohn, who runs
the Premier lodging-house at the corner of
South Sixth and Jackson streets, was very
angry with the couple, and at first would not
allow them in the house After q time, how
ever, she relented, and Hatfield is now installed
with his bride in the home of his mother-in.
law.
Hatfield Is discontinued with his present
salary, s35 per month, which he says is not quite
enough for two TO live on and build up bank
account, and so he contemplates migrating to
Nebraska in day or two. That is the home of
his boyhood, and he says he can live with his
father much more chesply than he can board
with his mother-in-law.
The whole story of the elopement and the
mothers objections 10 very peculiar and un-
usual. The runaway girl was aided in her
elopement by her elder sister, girl of Is years,
who, after the couple had landed in Victoria,
tainted her mother with the news that "Nellie
and Louis are to be married, and it's no use to
object for You can't help it"
Those who know the family say the girl has
acted wisely in getting married.
