Fully Seventy British SAILORS Have Left
the Fleet at New York.
NEW YORK, May cit is learned that
the British flagship Blake has lost over
forty men Of her crew up to Saturday
last by desertion. The British armored
cruiser Australia has lost several men
and the two British cruisers Tartar and
Magicienne have lost more than twenty
men between them. In all the British
fleet has lost by descrtion more than
seventy men since its arrival in this
port.
From officers of the Blake IL is learned
that the men who have deserted are for
the most part sailors whom the ships
could well spare. The United States
affords no opportunity TO British Off.
GERS TO capture runaways. Once the
British sailor reaches shore he Is safe
from capture. The impression prevails
aboard the Blake that large number
OF the men who have deserted will try
TO enlist in the United States navy,
The pay Of the British sailor is about
$40 month. The pay Of an American
sailor is s25 n month.

BANK EXAMINATIONS.
Comptroller of the Currency Eokles VII
Inaugurate a New Policy.

Inaugurate New Policy.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Comptroller
of the Currency Eckles is giving close
attention TO the business of his office
and is looking into the question of how
TO make the national banks even more
safe than they have been in the past.
Heretofore it has been the aim OF the
comptroller's office to have the con-
dition of each bank in the United
States looked into once year by a
bank examiner. Mr.. EckleS proposes
to have atleast two examinations made
every year. In order to do this the
country will be redivided into examin-
alton districts and about twice as many
districts will be made as exist at pres
ent. This will necessitate an increase
in the number Of bank examiners to
just about twice the present number.
1t is also proposed that no two sue
cessive examinations shall be made by
the same man. An examiner, after
having made all the examinations in
his district for the first half of a year,
will be transferred TO some other dis
trict for the second half of the year
and some other man will take his place
and make the second examination in
his district.
1t is believed this system will result
in great benefit, for not only will the
examinations be more frequent but by
having them made by two men, one
may be able to discover evidences OF
bad management that has escaped the
other. There will be no additional ex-
pense imposed on the government as
the pay Of the bank examiners is made
up by system Of assessment upon the
banks in proportion to their capital
stock. The expense to individual banks
is small.

An Interrupted Conversation.

A conversation attempted by telephone
led TO n grave misunderstanding between a
Biddeford (Me) man and his family physi-
clan. The mans wife was sick, and he
called the doctor up to ask what he should
do for her lie explained her symptoms,
which were, as he said, II severe pain in the
bacl, of the head and nausea. The physi-
clan replied that the symptoms indicated
malaria, and the inquiry was made AS to
treatment. At this point the connection
was broken, and the reply which was sup
posed to be that Of the doctor was really
part Of n conversation by an engineer rela-
tive TO the condition Of boiler. This was
what was heard by the anxious husband:
We'll, she's pretty hard, but guess you
may be able to hammer her out. Then turn
on the hose and let her dry, and she'll be-
ready to work in the morning." The limo
cent doctor mt the other end of the tele-
phone wondered why the conversation end

was not called to the case.--Exchange.

Tight Belts Unhealthy For Men

The stout man who wears n tight belt
around his waist to give him an appear
ance Of janntiness as well as do the sus-
pender business does not know what harm
he Is doing to himself. A doctor told me
yesterday that the wearing of a tight belt
by a man, especially stout man, is most
injurious to health. 1t stops the circula-
ton and does not permit the digestive Or
gans to operate "a they should. When
asked why il should be so much more in
furious for man to wear anything tight
around his waist than it ia for a woman,
who is laced up year in and year out. the
doctor said: "a man and woman can't be
compared in that regard. A man uses en-
tireiy different muscles in breathing from
those Of n woman. He becomes accustomed
to breathing from his abdomen, while a
woman breatbes almost entirely from her
chest. Men had better wear loose belts and
provide some other substitute for suspend
ers. "--Pittsburg Dispatch.

GOOD WILL TOWARD CHINA

While Upon the Statute e3sks.

WASHINGTON. Sept. i4-iu regard to the
account Of the interview between Secre-
tary Gresham and the Chinese minister on
Monday last, in which Secretary Gresham
was said TO have told the Chinese minister
that the administration did not intend To
enforce the exclusion law. it is said at the
state department that whatever the views
Of the president and Secretary Gresham
might be in the matter they would not
give assurance to the Chinese government
that a law would not be enforced while IL
remained on the statute books. and that,
therefore, the statement attributed to
Secretary Gresham was inaccurate II is
understood that Mr.. Gresham merely AS
sured the minister Of the good will the
United States felt towards the Chinese
government and hoped that the question
Of xcus on would be arranged in a salts
factory manner. SO that the amicable re-
la on between the two governments

number Of kerosene barrels. some Of them
full. were standing on the platform in a
place where it was customary to store
them. the platform being therefore com

may have been started among these bar
rels from a spark from a locomotive. or
more probably by fire dropping from q
pipe or a cigar on the oil soaked boards O.

At the time that the fire broke out the
town water was turned off for repairs in

to get water to put out the fire.
Fire engines were summoned from
Leicester. East Brookfeld. North Brook

Of these arrived was it possible to make
any Roadway against the fire.

A PECULIAR STORY
Concerning a Mouse and Woman Who Was
Sound Sleeper.

HARTFORD, Sept. IA woman living
In the vicinity of Edwin Crary's drug
store yesterday elected from her stomach
full grown mouse. The woman had no
been feeling well during the morning. A
night an emetic was administered. and the
mouse then made its appearance. Thu
animal was partly digested, but It's head
feet and tail were easily distinguished
and some OF the hair remained on the body
How the creature could have gained
access T. the stomach was at first mys
terry. The woman is a sound sleeper, and
the only reasonable explanation is that
while she siumbered with her mouth open
the mouse, bent on exploring for a hiding
place, ran down her throat
The story was disbelieved until the dead
mouse was exhibited to the unbelievers
The woman has since experienced no bad
effects from the unweleome visitor. The
physician. we'll known doctor, vouches
Tor the truth of the story
