BALMACEDA GETS AWAY.

He Leaves Chilli on Board a United States Ship-Admtral Brown of the San Francisco Assists the Fugitive -Disguised as n Drunken United States Sailor.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The Herald's Valparaiso dispatch this morning says that President Balmaceda has escaped from Chili on the United States ship San Fran cisco which sailed last night. Balmaceda has been in hiding in Valparaiso ever since the day he became a fugitive, and has vain ly sought means of escaping, but no way presented itself until the other day, when he sent to the American admiral begging to be saved and throwing himself upon the mercy of the American sailor. Admiral Brown did what all other foreign admirals would have done under similar circum- sented to afford Balmaceda the shelter of his ship and the protection of the stars and stripes. How to effect the ex-presi- dents escape from the shore was the next question.
 Finally an ingenions plan was decided upon. This was to have Balmaceda dis = eAAAANSAA sailor. The clothing was sent ashore in a market boat Sunday night by order of Ad- miral Brown, and was smuggled by one of Balmaceda's adherents into the house where he was hiding. The ex-president carefully donned it and then stole out by a rear entrance into the street. Nightfall favored his disguise, and he had studied his part so well that he feigned a drunken tar to perfection. At the water front he found & boat from the cruiser awaiting him, which soon carried him to the cruiser. He went at once to one of the cabins aft and did not again show himself above deck. The off, cers of the San Francisco were questioned about the matter, but resolutely refused to discuss it.
 The San Francisco left Valparaiso last night for Callao. Thence it will sail for California. It is probable that Balmaceda will land at Callao. Admiral Browns ac- tion will undoubtedly increase the bitter feeling in Valparaiso toward the United States government.

 BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 15.-Miss Hawley of Huntington Center met with peculiar mishap which may cost her her life, ss at present she is in very precarious con- dition. Miss Hawley is nurse by profes- sion and had just returned from 8 patient. On reaching home she went to the family medicine closet in search of a bottle of kidney wort She found the bottle all right and proceeded to prepare generous dose While it was simmering on the stove she noticed peculiar odor about the room, but thought nothing of it. She drank glass of the mixture and was inn mediately taken very sick. Her father was called and seeing the bottle on the table explained the mystery. He had put some potato fertilizer into the bottle in hurry one day and forgotten to label it.

 To Otto Scheibel, Anarchist:
 Sir-We see it stated in the papers that on La Dor day you were reckless enough and foolish enough to run up the red flag over your ''gin mill, and that the owner of the premises, Nr. katsch, very properly hauled it down, after find ing that Mayor Sargent had not sand" or pa triotism enough to order it lowered. We there fore, the promulgators of this document, and members of a powerful and patriotic organza- tion, take this method of informing you that if you value your own personal safety and the safety of your property you had better not dis play that ensign of revolution again so long as you reside in this city, for as sure ss there is a God in heaven we will visit upon you summary justice if you persist in so doing. You must be given to understand that anarchists will not be permitted to Haunt their rag of hell in the faces of the loyal people of this country, so long, at least as men live who once saved the country from destruction. We have fought traitors and conquered them, and we are ready to engage in a war of exter- imitation against the diabolical enemies of law and order, if they give us the provocation. America is not the country for the ''off SCOUT ings' of Europe to endeavor to revolutionize by such damnabe doctrines as you entertain. Scheibel, you are a marked man!

held fast to the opening sentence of the
speech, and there was nothing to do but
to charge the fog bank and trust to luck.
So to it he went, and to his great COM
fort soon found ne could always see one
or two sentences ahead rs he progressed.
He began, therefore, to feel moro at ease
and able to pay due attention to the
graces OF emphasis and gesticulation, as
in turn he dwelt with suitable &pprehen-
sion on the peril we are in from central
ization, ignorant suffrage, machine poll
tics, labor and corporate combinations,
the accumulation of large fortunes and
the evils of luxury. Then few grace
full phrases in closing and the speech
was done.
And suddenly, as he bowed his fare
well, a splenStel bouquet was tossed from
the north gallery and bounded on the
platform at his feet. Blushing and con-
fused, he stopped for the prize, while the
applause broke out afresh, bowed to the
glorious garden whence this rosegay had
been detached, and left the stage.
Excited and unhinged by his triumphs,
he lodged his friends and sought the
quiet and privacy of his room. II am
very glad it's over" he thought to him
self, "and don't see now how | ever got
through. What superb bouquet l
can guess who threw it, but here is the
tag. With the congratulations and best
wishes of Windward's mother and sis
ter What delightful people they are
anyway? And Miss Florence-but no,
no, must not think of it; l must not, !
will not. | have my life to make yet.
1t won't do, Peter!'
And having thus reached for the third
or fourth time this very sensible decision,
he chose one dewy pink rosebud from
the bouquet, kissed it and laid it gently
between the leaves of the manuscript,
folded the speech up, and carefully put
the roll away among his treasures, in
sisting, as he did so, that he must not
think of it, and was not thinking of it.
and that it would not do.
