1t Goes to Pieces and 8 out of 10 on Board
Are Drowned.
NORFOLK, Va, March 27.-The Nor
wegian bark Dictator, from Pensacola,
Fla, to West Hartlepool, England, laden
with pine lumber, with a crew of fifteen
and the captains young wife and little
boy of three years, came ashore in a
strong e~aster!y gale this morning four
miles south of Cape Henry and two miles
north of Virginia Beach hotel. With
great difficulty the life saving crew was
at work and rescued a number. At
nightfall there were still nine persons on
the bark, and among the number the
captain, his wife and little child. The
captain had urged his wife all day to
take the buoy and come ashore, but she
steadily refused, as she would
not leave her husband and
child, and only one could
take the buoy at a time. The wife and
child we're already greatly exhausted ac-
cording to the report Of the sailors.
The bark went to pieces and the seven
that remained ON her we're lost, including
the wife of the captain. Just before the
ship went to pieces the captain sprung
into the sea with his son strapped to his
back and reached shore alive, but the
boat was lost making total loss of eight
lives. The vessel had been disabled by
hurricanes and was seeking harbor.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, March Bottle most
~eventful day in the coke strike, closing
with this evening, was favorable to the
men. The labor leaders say nc precon-
certed attack was made, but, in view of
the fact that three of the principal works
in this region were raided and that the
operators had decided to resume all tho
plants, talk of accidental raids does
not go very far. At 2 o'clock this morn
ing the strains of a band awoke all the
strikers on the road from Scottdale to
Bradford, and in a short while 1,5OO fol-
lowed their path, which was directed to
Jimtown, a plant of the H. G. Prick COM
pany. This place was reached at 5
o'clock this morning, when the works
were captured without a struggle except
the accidental disarming of Superintend.

plants are very similar, and bear similar
leaves, flowers and berries, and both are
so universal that they are found nearly

differences between them, but the best
one is this, that the poison ivy has three

poisonous has FIVE. Before touching any
of the leaves, which wind so gracefully

Mammoths Supposed to be Giants.

The first mammoth bones discovered
in Europe were supposed by contem-
porary naturalists to be those of giant

professor at Lucerne constructed from
pelvis and thigh bone q man nineteen
feet high. For was the mistake so al
together surprising, inasmuch as mann
moth bones are remarkably similar to
those of human being. The vertebr9
of the backbone seem only magnified
copies of human vertebre; the shoulder
blade looks as if it belonged to a gigantic
man, and the pelvis, femur, tarsus.

bear similar resemblances. 1t is certain
that the mammoth was contemporary
