ne Found a Strange Occupant In Hfi
Cabin and saved Life.
Sunday was cold and wet. said the
manager Of a well known lumber com
pany the other day. "and had a
dreary time Of it up in Huntsville. We
gathered around the FIRE in the rain,
and tried TO shorten time by telling
stories Of the woods chiefly, as most
stories nre in the back country. One
old trapper, character in his way, but
not OF a romancing disposition, told us
a story something like this:
"a good many years ago, when
trapping was a better business than il
IL now, did good deal Of work in the
district back of Fenelon falls. One
summer built camp-really a
wigwam like an Indians--and stored
away my traps, II was on the bank OF
stream and IN the course Of the sum.
mer when passed up and down in my
canoe ] sometimes stopped over night
and slept there One night, as dusk
was changing into dark, came down
the stream on the way 10 Fenelon falls,
some twenty miles away. ! felt tired
and decided to sleep at the camp and
see that my traps were all right
"'As came up to the wigwam no.
ticed something white inside. II was
70 dark that could not tell what II
was, but concluded II was some ami
mai that had crept in and made den
for itself In that wild country the
thought never struck me that ii could
be human being, and, besides, II lay
stretched along the ground just as a
wolf would be. had my revolver In
my belt, and raised II to shoot, but
lowered my hand again. A second
time and third took aim, but some
thing seemed 70 keep me from drawing
the trigger. Then lit piece Of bark
and went up TO the camp.
"a woman lay there with white
dress all torn to shreds, with one shoe
and stocking gone and the other in
rugs. but with three magnificent rings
on her fingers. She was almost dead,
and though she looked In my face
gave no answer to my questions She
was dying Of hunger / saw at once, and
running out started fire. While 1t
kindled gave her biscuit and other re
freshments that had. Then cooked
some fsh, and the FIRST sign OF life she
gave was to point at the fish and TO her
mouth. She was ravenous and ate till
was afraid to give her more. But
what to do with heri She could not
stay there In the woods and was fast
becoming delirious. tied her feet to-
Rether and did the same with her arms
so that she could not move or jump up
and upset the canoe.

comfortably as / could set out for
Fenelon Falls, and you may be sure

She was recognized at Fenelon Falls as
the daughter of wealthy American
visitor and carefully tended. After
ward we learned that she had been out
and landing, had wandered
into the woods and lost herself. Her
boat was found and IL was supposed
she was drowned. She had been six
days In the woods when she found her

authority, and perhaps as well in-
formed as any man 10 the service,
on the subject Of our ability TO resist
an attack will be very reassuring:
"I think" said the officer, who pre-
ferred that his name should not be
used, "that with our resources we
could Withstand any attack made
by any feet Chill could send. Our
present armament in Fort Winfield
Scott and OF the hills above consists
of about thirty S-inch rified cannon
converted frOm10-inch smooth-b6res.
about ten mounted aud and fourteen
unmOunted 15-inch smooth-bore
guns, aud thirty-two mounted ana
fifty five unmounted old 1O-inch

there are about 100 various old guns

short range. Fifteen-inch guns fire
projectie weighing $50 pounds
about three miles with effectiveness
and will penetrate ten inches Of iron
at 1000 yards. The S-inch rifled gun
IL very effective for about two miles
and will carry $50 pound projectile
four and one-half miles and pene-
trate armOr eight inches in thickness
at distance Of 1000 yards. There
are also some guns at Black Point
and Alcatraz.
The Chilian navy has no vessels
which could withstand such pro-
jectiles as could be fired from
even our present guns. For this
reason / don't think any Chilian
cruiser could enter our harbor. But
it is hardly supposable case that a
fleet would appear of our coast
simultaneously with the declara-
tion of war, and in all probability
IL would be month or more at
least after such declaration before
this city would be attacked. BY or
before that time extempOrized fer
tifications would be made that
would, 1 think, prevent any fleet
getting near even TO the entrance of
the bay. The government has
some high-power rified guns and
mortars just finished. and more
nearly 80, whose delivery could be
fastened If circumstances de-
manded. We could have them
ready week after they arrived in
this city. If the batteries of these
| guns and mortars were located just
back of the Cliff House and on
Point Bonita, 1 do not think fleet
would dare approach near enough
to shell the city. We could also
put up within a couple of weeks an
extemporized bay torpedo system
that could blow up any vessels that
might perform the miracle of pass
ing the batteries along the shCre Of
the Golden Gate.n

Just ut this season tho cry OF tho

forcibly answered in tho experience Of

Timed goods arc to-day cheaper than
they ever were before in history. Part
Of the influence which makes them go
Is doubtless the abundance OF fruits last
year, but that does not entirely account
for 1t, for salmon, sardincss and other
fish which como in cans, rs well rs
timed meats, seem to share tho general
reduction in prices. Just what circum-
stances arc to DO credited with this
state OF affairs 1t is hard TO conjecture.
OF course the tariff has nothing to do
with 1t, but il tho condition was re-
