Sea captains have many adventures
and the stories of their wonderful es
capes seldom lose by repetition. MANY
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel to the great peril Of
the merchantmen. The story is told OF
q Captain Davis, who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill in nayi-
cation, that he was returning from Ire
land with cargo consisting mainly of
butter.
He had not been out very long when a
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails were spread; every mo-
ment brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take off their boots
and stockings, and directed that a score
Of butter barrels be brought on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not rope nor spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But 10! when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like SO many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed of the devil. They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense Of few pounds of
butter.-Youth's Companion.

There is nothing that conduces to a
successful meeting of emergencies bet
ter than a cool head, with feeling of
perfect confidence that everything is
going to come out all right. Whether
things are coming out all right or
not, at least the feeling of quiet self
control makes one better able to work
toward the good result. To mother
this self possession is invaluable. In a
large family small events calculated to
upset the domestic machinery are con-
stantiy occurring. 1t seems to be q law
Of nature that children should confirm
ally have hairbreadth escapes and come
within an inch of losing their lives.
But it is equally law of nature that
they should escape. And whenever the
critical moment arrives in her own life
or in the life of another, it is important
for woman to remember that the very
worst thing she can do at that moment
is to lose her head.
To do that means to be helpless in
stead of helpful, to be a drag instead of
an assistance. In an emergency one
should rather seem heartless than IN
efficient. There are always ten people
ready to cry or faint or shed tears over
the sufferer where there is one who
stands coolly by and sees the way to
help him. Affection and sympathy are
often best proved by ignoring them,
particularly when the moment arrives
that calls for action and not tears

The barred head at funerals is, for n.y.
gienic reasons, becoming q custom of
the past i'll some localities. An agita-
ton against it was started by Captain
George A. Raabe, a member of many
benevolent societies in San Francisco,
and as result of his labors nearly
every society Of the kind on the Pacific
coast has adopted resolutions to the eff
feet that the members shall keep their
hats on at the graves of their departed
comrades. Grand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit. Societies in
Milwaukee are discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks on the subject of the
exactions of the modern funeral:
Death comes at a time very often in a
family when an overworked and nearly
broken down mother or sister or wife.
or perhaps a husband, is nearly if not
completely Frustrated, and whose health
Is in a most precarious condition. Ply
sicians can testify, rs no other class in
the community can, to the often serious
results Of a funeral as it is conducted
nowadays. A delicate member Of the
family, who perhaps has not been out
Of the house for weeks, worn down and
Frustrated by the care and grief Incl
dent to the lOssof a dear relative, is sub
jected 10 d long, slow ride in carriage
on a cold, inclemeut day. Custom has
had its way; the victim, following the
custom, thinking it a duty, returns To
her home, not to go out again till she is
followed over the same road to the last
resting place by perhaps others who fall
victims after her.
/ am comparatively a young man, and
yet have not fingers enough On which
to count cases of this kind that have
come under my own observation and in
my own experience as physician, and /
have resolved to raise my voice against
this custom whenever and wherever /
may have the opportunity.-Chicago
Times.

Country people are as eager to accept
any rumor of a strange and dangerous
creature In the woods as they are to be-
beye in ghost story. They want 1t TO
be true; it gives them something to
think about and talk about. IL Is to
their minds like strong drink TO their
palates. It gives new interest to the
woods, as the ghost story gives new
interest 10 the old house.-John Bur

LOUISVILLE, July 6.-Max Benzer, an
employe of Bolts brewery, accidentally
shot and killed William Ochs, a young
tanner, yesterday, and then took his own
life in self punishment for the deed.
Ochs was passing the brewery on his
way to work, when Benzer came down
the street from his bedroom over the
brewery carrying pistol. "rll shSot
you," laughingly exclaimed Benzer,
pointing the weapon at Ochs. The lat
ter laughed and looked back pleasantly.
An instant later there was an explosion
and scream Of agony, and young Ochs
fell with bullet in the middle of his
forehead. Benzer supposed there was
no loaded cartridge in his weapon at the
time. Benzer retired Immediately 10
his room over the brewery, and seating
himself on his trunk loaded his pistol
and placing the muzzle in his mouth,
pulled the trigger and fell dead on the

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The Fight on the Free Coinage Bill Be-
gun hn fha I.nuar Rndu

WAsHINaroN, July 8.--Aftsr the senate had
listoneG to II rather disquieting statement By
Mr.. Vest (Nio.) from the committee on public
buildings and grounds on the sanitary short
comings of the capitol, Mr.. Berry (ArkD re-
pliod to Mr.. Hale's tariff speech and resolu-
tions The deadlock between the senate and
house on the appropriation for tho grand
army encampment in Washington was
clinched by the senate, the house instructiny
for ST5,000 to be paid by tho district taxpayers,
and the senate instructlng for 100000 to be
paid out OF the general district funds.
The fight on the free coinage bill passed by
the senate on Friday began in the house yes
tcrdRy as soon as Speaker Crisp announced its
receipt. The anti-silvor men were wide awake
and hardly had the words left the speakers
mouth when their leader, Mr.. Tracey, of New
York, u Democrat, moved to refer it TO the
committee on banking and currency, which is
supposed to be against the bill. From the time
the motion was made until the time of ad journ-
ment, three hours later, the house passed
through series of monotonous calls OF tho
house and yea and nay votes. The vote on
Mr.. Tracey's motion failed 10 show the pres
ence of quorum. Tho point of no quorum
was made and call of the house resulted.
This call showed quorum. Another vote on
the motion did not show the required number.
And SO through the day each call of the house
followed each yea and nay vote until the
patience of the free coinage men was ex-
hausted and IN adjournment was made neces-
sary. But the fight will be resumed with each
side better prepared for the conflict.

CAMBRIDGE, o., July 6.-Monday night
Fred Albright, aged "a, purchased four
half pound 60 per cent. dynamite cart
ridges. There was grand pyrotechnic
display in the public square at the time,
and Albright probably had an idea that
he could outdo the other celebrators in
the boom racket. He came out into the
middle of Main street and lighted the
fuse of one of the cartridges. 1t ex-
ploded in his hands and the other three
went off in his pocket at the same time
and blew his body to atoms Fragments
of his flesh We're found plastered to the
walls of the buildings in the vicinity.
Thousands of people were in the public
square and streets, and just how such
an explosion could take place in a crowd
of that size without killing and mang-
ling scores Of persons Is a mystery.

Italians and Hungarians Create Reign
.e# of Terror.


STEUBENvILLE. o., July 6.-Hungar-
ian miners at Laureltown, Dillonville
and Long Run, on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad, celebrated their
Fourth by reign of terror and lawless-
ness. A gang of Italians and another Of
Hungarians started for Wheeling and
Steubenville. Both crowds were drunk
and turbulent, and they met at Warren
ton station. They boarded the cars for
the mines, and then began a bloody
fight. One Hungarian was pitched out
of car window while the train was
moving and sustained serious injuries.
-Four men Were badly cut with knives.
Several women tainted, and the train
men, who endeavored to maintain or
der, were at the mercy of the mob.
Several passengers and railroad men
who interfered were badly beaten. One
American knocked six rioters down and
another had all his front teeth knocked
out by piece OF wood in the hands of
an infuriated Slav. AT Laurelton the
mob gained additional strength and the
fight was continued. One Italians house
was leveled to the ground, he having
excited the fury of the mob. The ring
leaders were arrested. About a dozeu
were dangerously wounded with knives.
The Italians stationed themselves along
the hill and beat off the Huns until Con-
stable McMasters summoned sufficient
force to quell the riot.

WoRLp,s FArR NOTES.

The Swiss national council has ap-
propriated 10000 francs (S24 ,00O for an
exhibit ut the Worlds fair of tbe Swiss
watch making industry.
One of the enovel exhibits in Machinery
hall at the Worlds fair will be a model
paper mill. 1t will be in active opera
tion and will show all the processes of
paper making.
Great Britain, France, Germ ny, and,
in fact, many other foreign nations, are
asking, and almost insisting, that more
space be granted for their exhibits at
the Worlds fair.
1t is reported that King Alexander of
Servia has decided to visit the Worlds
fair next year. He is 16 years old and
son of the much talked of ex,King Milan
and ex-Queen Natalie.
An exact fac simile OF the San Louis
Rey mission, perhaps the finest and most
celebrated OF all the famed old mission
ruins in Southern California, will be
seen at the Worlds fair.
The mineral exhibit at the Worlds
fair promises TO be incomparably finer
than ever before made, either in this
country or abroad. California and Col
orado is each striving to surpass all
other states.
A group of Caribs from the Lesser An
titles, descendants of the cannibal race
discovered by Columbus on his second
voyage, will be at the Worlds fair, en-
gagged in making baskets and other ma
tive industries.
More than one thousand men are now
at work on the mammoth manufactures
building for the Worlds fair. Tho to-
tai number of workmen at Jackson park
now exceeds 1000. 1t will probably be
increased to 10000 or more.
Russia will make very extensive ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair. 1t has made
preliminary appropriation of 90, 900 rou-
bles ,or $36 900, but will spend altogether,
1t is reported, more than half million
dollars on the representation.
An agent Of the Turkish government
Is on his way to Chicago to superintend
the construction of the Ottomon pavil-
ion and Turkish village for The Worlds
fair Accompanying him are native
masons who will build the pavilion.
Again the cable has announced that
Emperor William of Germany has de-
cided to visit the Worlds fair at Chi
cago next year. This time The Allge-
mine zeitung, leading paper of
Munich, furnishes the information, and
claims that it is authentic,
Rev. John Henry Barrows, d. D.,
chairman of the general committee on
religious congresses in connection with
the Worlds fair, reports very favora-
BILE response to the plan of holding par
lament of religions. Aug. % to Sept. 3,
next year.

HAMBURG, July 6.-The recognized

more than hitherto, they will be OBJ

nature from that of Prince Bismarck's
utterances in Vienna. When the prince
takes his seat in the reichstag his criti-
cisms will not be restricted to those
that carry felonious intent, going SO far
as to imply the desire under certain
circumstances to place the German
army at the service of the English
Any one uttering such warning against
such course would naturally cause
serious vexation to an upright English
man.
English newspapers, too, the article
says, consider that the imperial govern
ment is at liberty to silence Prince Bis
marck by judicial proceedings 1t
would be interesting in the highest de-
gree should an attempt be made in the
direction. That such a step would be
unwelcome to Prince Bismarck we do
not believe. He would hardly raise any
objection against dramatic conclusion
to his political career, even if the con-
sequences We're more serious to him than
is possible according to the state of the
law. 1t certuinly appears characteristic
that the cry for the Intervention of the
police and the public prosecuti on of the.
ex-chancellor of the empire is found In
English, Hungarian, Freissinninge, cler-
ical and socialist organs, and in the
North German Gazette. 1t may be sup
posed that all Of these are inspired from
an identical center"

AnRoNAuTs DROWNED.
Their Balloon Collapsed and Dropped
Them Into Boston Harbor.

Them Into Boston Harbor.
Boston, July 8. The big balloon
which was sent up on Monday by the
city Of Boston for the entertainment of
thousands of spectators gathered on
Boston Common caused the loss Of two
lives, a third narrowly escaping.
q. A. Rogers, an aeronaut Of Faulk-
ner, Mass, has for several years made
the ascent, and on Monday, as usual, he
was promptly on hand with his airship,
the Governor Russell" and at A p. m,
everything being ready, the great gas
bag was released. In the basket were
Mr.. Rogers, his assistant, Thomas Fen.
ton. of Lynn, and Delos Goldsmith, a
reporter for the City Press association.
The ascent was rapid and without
hitch. A strong off-shore wind was
blowing, and the balloon took straight
course out towards the harbor. In at
tempting to land on Thompsons island
the upper valve suddenly flew open, and
the gas rushed forth with such volume
that the balloon dropped like lead, strik-
ing the water some 800 or 400 yards short
OF the island.
So rapid was it's descent that the bas-
ket was under the water before either Of
the occupants had freed himself from
the wreck Rogers and Goldsmith
finally succeeded in freeing themselves
and rose to the surface and began to
swim, while tugboats and rowboats
were hurrying from every side to their
assistance.
Rogers, however, seemed at once to
lose all his strength, and in very few
20 a
to swim until rescued in nearly ex-
hausted condition.
Fenton was carried under with the
car and did not succeed in freeing Him
self. When he was taken out few
moments later life was not altogether
extinct, but all efforts to resuscitate him
failed, and he died before the shore was
reached. Rogers body mas not yet been
recovered.

he died in two hours. The fatal wound
is thought to have been inflicted by one
