The Alexandria, under command of
Captain Mclean, sailed from San Fran
cisco for Honolulu last April, and later
left Honolul u at night. On June 25 the
Alexandria was intercepted Ia Bering
Sea by the United States war snip Mohi-
can. The Mohican ordered the Alexan.
dria to lay to, but instead of doing so the
Alexandria increased her speed and at
tempted TO escape. The MohIcan pur-
sued her and fired two blank shots across
her bow as Il signal for her to heave to-
IN supreme disregard OF the order, the
Alexandria steamed faster, and when the
Mohicau fired another blank cartridge,
the Alexandria trained sher six pounaer
on her pursuer, and sent shell crashing
through the sides of the war ship and
into ner gun room. The ball played
havoc among the Shlp's machinery, anu
completely disabled the Mehican At
this junctuge dense fog arose and the
Alexandria made her escape, while the
Mohican had to anchor for six hours for

WAY THE GYPSIEs WORE APRONS.

A Seeming Mystery Explained by One
of the Tribe.
There was one thing about the band Of
gypsies that were driven from Glendale
Woods yesterday that puzzled the good
people of West Bergen considerably. 1t
was that all the men Of the tribe wore
aprons and wore. them hind eide fore
most. One citizen whose bump OF
curiosity was greater than the 9th ers,
finally sought an explanation from one
of the apron band. lkis explanation was
very simple indeed; they didn't want to
spoil the seats of their pants by sitting on
the grass with them.
Another person who is very careful OF
his trousers is Conductor Hugo Sweinitz
of the electric line. Every morning when
he boards his car he carefully wip es on
the brass ratings on the rear platform SO
that be can sit on it without soiling
them.
