Capt. Maynard was born here in 1870,
his father being route agent for the
Southern Express Company. In 1884
at the age of IA, young Maynard left his
Mother; and brothers and sister, his
father being dead; and went to New
York and cbnfided 30 his uncle; III. r.
Kifkham, his plans for becoming d
sailor. His uncle secured berth for
him on vessel bound for Africa.
After year of uneventfu1 sea life he
shipped with vessel going to Hong
Kong, China. A storm overlook the
ship near the Caroline Islands and drove
itagainst the reefs and it went down.
It was near the islands. and officers and
crew all got ashore. The savage inhab-
itants met the sailors with yells, brand
ishing their implements Of warfare, and
the entiSe Grew surrendered, expecting
to be roasted alive. But, instead, they
received kind treatment and were dis
tributed among the savages.
Maynard's fine appearance won the
good will of the king or chief, and he
was taken to his home. The king had
q daughter, and in her company young
Maynard was almost constantly thrown.
When he had acquired sufficient knowl-
edge of her language to understand the
princess he began to make love to her.

After about seven months captivity
Maynard proposed to his friends to
escape in the boats they saved from
their ship, and make their way 800 miles
to Honolulu. They agreed, and at the
first opportunity escaped. They arrived
at Honolulu safely after eight days OF
suffering, and were given clothing, as
they were only clad in the very scanty
garb worn by the inhabitants of the
islands.
Soon after this Maynard shipped on
the steamer Aquan, a trader in the West
Indies. He was wrecked on a rock
called by sailors ''Sonover.' when he
and the captain set out for port in
boat. They sent a ship to the aid OF
the passengers and crew.
In short time Maynard got posi-
ton on the Morgan line, with which
company he is now, but was again
wrecked with the ship Ell Dorado, near
the Bahamas. He is now second officer
on the steamer Alamo, which runs from
New York to Galveston.

Only One Cent,
A Radical Departure Made by The Detroit
Evening News.

Evening News.
On Monday, Oct. 3, The Detroit Evening
News, the largest and most popular after
noon paper i'm Michigan, made a new and
radical departure by dropping its price from
two cents to one cent per copy, or six cents
per week; this action will be supported by
renewed and far reaching Improvements in
the matter of news gathering, editorial, lit
erary features, illustrations, ETC., which will
not only place the paper far in advance of
its present excellent standard, but detailed
plans have been made to make The Peoples
Paper of Michigan the finest and best
one cent paper in the west.
The News was the pioneer in the two
cent newspaper field in the west, and pros
pered in that field. The facilities it now
has, in the way of men. material and ma
chinery. and the fact that paper. ink, ETC.,
is far cheaper than ever before, makes it a
duty the paper owes to the public to reduce
its subscription price down to the lowest
notch. and at the same time raise the STAN
dard of excellence of product to the very
highest point attainable. That duty will be
performed, and no thought, labor or money
shall be spared in the effort
Push, persstency and progress shall be
the watchwords. The News has never
broken promise it made to the public,
and never will, and it now declares that
from this time henceforth, it will be the
largest, best and cheapest daily paper in
Michigan, and its circulation and influence,
now by far the greatest, will be extended to
the fullest possible limit.
There is not town i'm Michigan where it
does not circulate, and the work has just
begun.
The Evening News henceforth for one
cent copy, six cents per week, or three
dollars year, and you can get 1t of the
newsboys i'm every town in Michigan, or at
every news stand, or by mail.
