ceiving q thorough overhauling from
keel to pilot house, under the super.
vision Of Capt. l. b. Sanburn, was pu,
in commission last Monday. She will
make daily trips from Ceur d'Alene to

pleasant route to travel. as the scenery
on the lake Is grand, and the accommo-
dations on the steamer most excellent.

are preserved in genealogical order, clip

THE GRIM REAPER AGAIN VISITS
THE PRESIDENT FAMILY.
Rev. John w. scott, ID. d., Father-in-Law
of President Harrison Dies at the Age
OF % Years.---A Denver Young Lady
Forced 10 Swallow Dynamite.

Once more has the angel OF death
settled upon the White House. This
time it took as its victim Rev. John
Witherspoon Scott, ID. d., the veneer
able father-in-law of the President.
The aged invalid passed away without
struggle as quietly and as peacefully
as child falls asleep. lie had been
unconscious for hours and was unable
TO recognize the weeping friends at his
bedside. Stimulants were admins
tered hypodermically, but only served
to defer the inevitable. The President
and family are very much Frustrated at
their bereavement.
Rev. John Witherspoon Scott, D. D.,
was born in Beaver county, Pa, June
%, 1909, and was therefore in the
ninety-third year of his age. DR..
Scott graduated from the college ut
Washington, Pa, and subsequently
took Il post graduate course at Yale.
Aftcrward he accepted a professorship
in the college from which he
graduated, which position he held for
two years. About this time he married
Mary Neal and, going west, he ac-
cepted professorship in Miami
university at Miami Ohio, in 1926.
While there three children were born
to him: Elizabeth, afterward Mrs.
Lord; Carolina, afterward Mrs. Har-
rison, and John Neal Scott. a number
of years later DR.. Scott founded the
Oxford, Ohio, Female college, and in
1850 became its president. AS he adj
vanced in years DIR. Scott gave up the
college work, and, going to Washing
ton, he was appointed to q clerkship in
the Interior Department, which posi-
ton he held up to the time of the adj
vent in Washington of President Har-
rison, when he resigned at the instance
of the President and took up his abode

DOLLY'S DREADFUL DOSE.
Dire Distress OF Denver Darling Dosed
with Dynamite.

Miss Dolly Watson, of Denver, Col.
according to her own story, quarrelled
with Jacob Whittier, when he seized
her and forced down her throat six
pellets, which he assured her contained
dynamite Dolly's landlady insisted
upon her leaving the house at once, and
gave her pair Of felt slippers to go
down stairs with TO prevent the
dynamite from exploding. Her friends
avoid her as if she had contagious
disease.
When she told her story in Justice
Liberts court the audience fed in Il
hurry, and one deputy sheriff, in his
eagogness 10 get out, smashed u window.
Physicians who have been asked, dis
agree as to the probable consequence
in case Dolly really has dynamite in
her system. Some say she is destined
TO explode, others that the dynamite
must have lost its force. Whittier has
been arrested, and is held to await the
outcome of his experiment.

TALES TOLD BY THE TlCKERS
OF THE TELEGRAPH.
The Steamer Spree, of the North German
Lloyd Line. Drifts Two Days and Nights
While Badly Lealsing---Three Passen-
gers Made Insane by Fright.
A steamers Narrow Escape.

The big North German Lloyd line
steamer Spree has been towed into the
harbor at Queenstown, England, after
IA most thrilling experience. When
four days out from Bremen to New
York, via Southampton, the main shaft
of the Spree broke down. Part of the
machinery went through the vessel
bottom under the second cabin which
Immediately filed with water. The
hour was in the morning and but few
of the passengers had arisen, but the
deck was soon crowded with half
dressed people and the thump, thump
of the broken shaft which shook the
entire vessel made the entire throng
frantic. The officers were very calm
under the circumstances. The crews
were piped to their stations and the
life boats were manned and pro-
visioned in short order. The pumps
were set TO work and the bulkheads
secured. This caused the vessel to
retain it's buoyancy to great degree.
Confidence was partially restored but
one passenger had become insane,
jumped overheard and drowned. Two
ladies were also made insane by fright
and had TO be placed under restraint.
One passenger in describing the
scene said IL was one never to be for
gotten. lie said: THE stern of the
vessel was greatly sunk. Sails were
set and the vessel drifted about So
miles, until evening, when a strong
wind took her northward again.
Throughout the night there was an
enormous swell and the steamer rolled
violently. Several of the passengers
were knocked down and injured. One
lady's arm was broken. Rockets were
fired after dark in addition to the
burning of torches. The night passed
dismally. None dared to sleep. The
weather became worse the next day.
There were tremendous seas and the
vessel lurched SO that it began TO look
serious. Evangelist Moody's prayer
meeting was the most solemn / have
ever seen. Women wept bitterly and
prayed feverently for succor. From
then the storm abated. The night was
beautiful and clear. A tar barrel was
burned on the promenade deck during
the next night, and II lit the skies as
far as the eyes could reach. 1t was
then that we were sighted by the
steamer Lake Huron, which lowed us
the distance of 1000 miles TO South
ampton."

Wreck Calvinism, the backbone of

which in all time has given us charac-
ter, and / shall be one of many to

Johnston's declaration at the meeting
of Presbyterian ministers, of Chicago,
at the close of three hours address
upon the proposed revision of the "con-
fession OF faith.
Dr. Johnson was n member Of the
committee on revision and only yielded
TO the few changes made in answer to
a general demand. The meeting
resolved itself into battle upon Cal
vinism. In the debate several adj
mitted that they were forced to preach
that which their consciences could not
approve, and thereby called forth the
startled reproofs of the orthodox con-
servatives. A report disappearing en-
tirely the revisions of the general
assembly's committee was then adopted
by vote of 80 To Is.

In reference TO the question of open
ing the Worlds Fair on Sunday, j. +.
Thompson, secretary Of the Worlds
Fair Opening association, has received
the following letter from Cardinal
Gibbons:
"A quiet Sunday opening OF the
Chicago Fair next year seems 10 be
most desirable. There are many who
would be otherwise deprived of the
privilege Of beholding what promises
TO be the event OF the century. The
Sunday closing of this spectacle would
be very unfortunate for many
thousands of our countryman who
would be tempted TO spend the day in
dissipation. In their name l would
favor the opening of the fair Sunday
afternoon to evening with the pro-
vision that all machinery should be
stopped and all mechanical and labor
ing work that will not be urgently
necessary should cease. In this | do
not see any Dissertation of the holiness
of the day, on the contrary those who
will visit the fair on these days will be
surely inclined to raise their minds
and hearts TO Him who inspired men to
produce such marvellous things"
