So little is known of the state of
Sarawak that Charles Hose explains to
the readers of the Geographical Jour

part of Bornco and covers some one
hundred thousand square miles. The

hard to believe that there arc maguifi-
cent shops and warehouses in any
town OF Bornco, although it is tho
capital of q rajahship. There is, how
ever, plenty Of jungle on the island,
as MI. Hose learned in stsedming up to
the sources of The DaraE1. Even then
he did not escape the customs of civili-
Zation. The party had scarcely reached
tho heart of the island before it came
upon musicale. Forty persons were
listening TO the notes of q flute. The
musician blew not through his mouth,
but through his nose, and, when the
nir escaped too rapidly, tore out the

cuse of singers was made. Il have q

blessing of civilized life which is found
on all sides in Borneo is the cigarette.
The very Punns, "a race of people
which live in the jungle, more like
animals than human beings" roll to-
bacco dcftIy. The Borncans appropri-
ately cover the collins of their rcla-
tiveS with cigarettes, which, they say,
the dead take away as passports to tho
lower regions. The young ladies wear
odd necklaces; in fact, they have a
habit of>thrusting their heads through
their cars. Mr.. Hose says:
'Thc lobe Of the car is pierced when
the child is about eight months old
md earrings weighing about two or
three ounces apiece are hung in the
car. The weight gradually drags
down the lobe to n great length, and,
by adding weights yearly rs the child
grows, by the time she has como to
maturity the cars will reach to her

Once on waking after passing tho

noticed for the first time at the head

found to contain the remains of the

Struck snaE Mt Little Muskinghum at
Nnnn.


Noon.
a special telegram to the INTELLleEN-
GER received last night states that the
Wheeling. Parkersburg packet, Courier,
met with disaster sixteen miles above
Parkersburg at noon yesterday. She
left Parkersburg for this city yesterday
morning at 7 o'clock. and though the
river is pretty low, all went we'll until
the boat backed out from the landing at
Little Muskingham. above Parkersburg.
The Courier was backing out when she
struck sunken snag, which made bad
hole in her hull. The water poured In
so rapidly that the boat sunk to the bot
tom in a few minutes and before she
could be put in better position. OF
course as the river is go low, the sink
ing OF steamboat just now is not a
matter OF 80 serious nature as 1t would
be il there was more water in the river.
The water barely covers the boiler deck
OF the boat, and the cargo is said to be
only slightly damaged. The freight and
passengers were transferred to the
steamer Bardsdaii, and taken back to
Parkersburg. The dispatch states that
the Courier will at once be raised and
taken to the dry docks at Par kersburG
for repairs. The work OF raising her
will be started ut once as the conditions
are most favorable, and delay might
change the conditions.

the old-time profits disappeared. Now the
men Of medicines are specializing on an
agreement, and with that purpose in view
they are preparing a schedule of prices.
According to this proposed arrangement
patent medicines that have beer selling for
65 cents will be put back TO their old 81
price. A similar proportion will be
observed in various articles Of different
prices.
The executive committee of the Retail
Druggists Association met yesterday and
discussed this question. One OF its men,
bers said yesterday regarding the propo-
stiOn of adopting new schedule of prices:
"There is no money made now in selling
patent medicines, and consequently coun-
terfeits will creep in. That was the ex-
perience in the Eastern cities when prices
were cut down TO the last margin. One
big firm in Philadelphia had 100000 in
vested in its business. the largest part of
which was manufacturing counterfeit
goods. But we hope, however, there will
be no necessity for a recurrence of this
work here"

The Occidental Hotel parlors were
crowded last night by an audience which
was delighted with the music rendered by
a quartet Of Guatemalan natives on the
marimba, the instrument used by the conn.,
mon people Of Guatemala. The instru-
ment used last night is like an elongated
xylophone, such az is played on in theater
o.chestras. 1t is made entirely of wood.
Underneath the keys are reeds, which
swell the sound. The players, who were
picturesquely attired with gaudy kerchiefs
on their heads. rendered Guatemalan and
operate airs excellently. 1t is probable
that the manager of some variety show
will snap up this quartet.
The young men are going to the Worlds
Fair in charge of DIR. Gustav Guzman, the
alan Commissioner 30 the exposi-
ton. He has with him under seal two lie T.

He says they are in Portuguese, and were

STOLE A SLOOP.
Barratry Charged Against
Captain Bartel.
He Is Said to Have Sailed Away
With the SeaIer Achilles and
Her Catch.

Forty years ago the crime OF barratry on
the high seas was not an uncommon crime,
and in recent issue of the Overland
Monthly Caspar 4. Hopkins contributed
an interesting article, in which the par
ticulars Of dozen cases were given where
vessels sailing out of this port had been
seized and sold or willfully destroyed by
their masters.
In recent years the crime has been
almost unknown. 1t is reported in mari
time circles, however, that Captain Oscar
Bartel hac seized and run away with the
sealing schooner Achilles and the owners
are anxiOusly waiting for tidings of him
and of the vessel which he commands.
The Achilles, which is a. IS loep-rigged YES
sci, was built in Portland few years ago
by Captain Moss and was afterward sold
to residents of South Bend, WASH, who
fitted her out for sealing trip to Alaska.
sending her out under command of Cap
tain Oscar Bartel. Her cruise was for
tunate one as was shown by the numerous
reports received from the sealing fleet, and
when she put into Kodiak, Alaska. on
June 10 of this year, she had 259 skins on
board. There the captain sold his entire
catch of skins to the agent of the Alaska
Commercial Company for $4,000 or there
abouts. Then he discharged his crew with
the exception of two Indians, and, taking
his brother Julius Bartel. put to sea. He
gave al his reason for discharglng his men
that they were mutinous and refused to
work. Anyhow. he left them In that out
of-the-way place without any wages and
sailed away.
No one knows where he has gone. but
the owners believe he will proceed to some
foreign port. probably in Chile or Peru.
and endeavor to sell the sloop or desert
her and. pocketing the money which he
obtained for the seaiskins, take flight by
land.
The dimensions of the Achilles are:
Length 60 feet, beam II feet. depth 9 feet.
She has one deck. is built Of fir, has a
round stern with cockpit and is fitted
with wire rigging. She has a compaEiOn-
way aft OF the c2ckpt and two small
matches forward of the main hatch. The
schooner'S rudder-stock is of oak, with a
fir blade, and has an iron blade on each
side on top or the blade TO strengthen the
stock.
Captain Elmer of South Bend, Wash,
one OF the owners, posted the foregoing
description of the vessel in the Custom
house yesterday, and offers a reward of
$500 for the arrest OF Captain Bartel and
his brother.
In the posted notice Captain Bartel
is described as 40 years Of age, 5 feet 10
inches in height and 175 pounds in weight.
The Bartel brothers are we'll known
along the Columbia River. where they
were formerly engaged as fishermen. If
they have really stolen the Achilles, as the
owners evidently believe. they can hardly

Charles Greffe'S View of
an Attack.
A Prominent Frenchman Talks of an
Anonymous and Scandaious PAM
phIet in Circulation.

The French population of San Francisco
has something to talk about anent the cele-

Some person, who did not have the man.

has profusely circulated pamphlet
scandalously attacking Charles CRETE, the
president of the committee of organization.
The pamphlet is entitled 'Re-edtion OF
the Biography of Charles CRETE" In it
Mr.. CRETE is charged with numerous
offenses and dishOn orable deeds.
Mr.. CRETE did not seem to mind the
scandalous nature of the pamphlet when
asked about it last night
at is pure case Of blackmail from start
to fnish," he said. land | am too we'll ac-
quainted in San Francisco to let little
thing like that trouble me.
II am prominently connected with the
coming celebration. and. in doing my duty,
have probably aroused some
jealousy which has given rise to this
attack.
About three years ago / received a let
ter from person in New York threaten
ing to bring an action against me for
taking his wife and son away from him,
but promising to let 1t drop if would pay
him $1,000. l did not pay him any money
and am still waiting for the action. Soon
after the letter was received n number of
pamphlets similar to those now in circula-
ton were distributed. but my friends had
too much faith In me for them to do any
harm. This same person." continued MIR.
CRETE, sent me several obscene letters,
which were placed in the hands of the
DOS toffice authorities. but nothing has yet
been done in regard to them.
IF this mysterious person says | in
duced the wife and son of Mr.. Pauline, a
New York tailor, to desert him and come
with me, as we'll as carry off all his valu-
ables. | am prepared to defend myself and
am anxious that he should bring an action
against me on that score, or any other
charge. He also says l robbed my mother
and sister, and was obliged TO run away
from France. That is utter nonsense, and
| would like to make him prove it. The
my sterous person also says l obtained
$1,000 by the fortunate burning of my fac
tory six years ago. Does he suppose any
insurance company would pay their losses
if they had any doubt about it? That
pamphlet is matchmaking sheet. and it
will not bother me any," concluded Mr.
CRETE with q satisfied smile.
