THE MAN WITH A BUG.
1t Was ON HIS Necktie and IL" Pass
engers Were scared.

en&eTS Gre Schrcu.
A longlegged, long-jawed and long
cared man dropped into a cross seat of
an "L'' car the other afternoon and
planted his number mines on the oppo-
site seat, says the n. Y. Advertiser.
At the next station a woman who look
ed like an old maid entered, and al
though there were other vacant places
she seated herself opposite the man
Of the extended legs. He Immediately
took his feet from the seat, but with
a sardcnic leer on his cadaverous face
fixed his gaze upon the disturber of
his comfort. Presently the woman be-
gan to peer at the necktie OF her odd
looking visa Wis as though she doubted
the evidence of her eyes. But she was
not long in doubt, for with an excla-
nation of horror and a wry face she
hurried to another part of the car.
A smile of triumph came to the lean
mans face as he replaced his feet in
their former attitude of repose. Soon
another woman seated herself along
side of the feet, and again they had to
come down. This time the disturber
was a prim, m~iddle-aged woman, with
s~pectacles and an armful Of books.
Scarcely had she settled down when
her eye fell on the fellows awe-inspir-
ing neckwear. She shuddered, uttered
a suppressed scream and fled to the
next car.
The complacent expression returned
TO the lean mans visage, and up vent
his feet again on the seat.
The next person to sit opposite him
was a pale-faced dude, with n cane re-
sembling a bludgeon and a collar reach
ing almost to his ears. Casting his
eyes downward without lowering his
head he, too, was struck with the
necktie and appeared To tremble.
II say, sir" said he timidly, but
you've a horrid bug on your scarf"
That's all right" said the other with
an air Of perfect composure; don't be
afraid of him; nothin' but a potato
bug; won't bite"
Before he had finished speaking the
dude was gone, and the long legs re-
sumed their horizontal position. Turn
ing to some people across the aisle,
their owner said, with a twinkle in his
eye:
Nothing like one Of these Spanish
bugs with a chain on 1t to make trav-
cling comfortable. Useful as well as
ornamental"

Four Hundred and Fifty Find q
Watery Grave.
New York, June 26.-An extra edition
ST the Evening World issued this evening
contains a special cable from Teipoii,
Syria, giving the first full details OF the
sinking of the flagship Victoria. Last
| Thursday afternoon the English heet
| zane in sight of I'll Nina, the port n
town of Teipoli. 1t was coming from
the northeast and making directly for the
,arbor. The five big iron clads-Victoria,
| Camperdown, Edinburg. Nile and Parell-
were drawn up in full front. The VIC
| ioria was in the center, the Camperdown
| was on her left and the Edinburgh on her
| hight. When they were within five miles
Of shore Vice Admiral Sir George Iyron
| ignalled to turn and form a double line.
! This meant that the Victoria and Camper
| down were to go ahead a little and de-
scribe a turn-the Victoria turning to the
| left and the Camperdown turning to the
| r%ight-then they would advance side by
| side in the direction from which they had
come, the others would swing into double
| column order and advance two and two
behind the leaders.
When the order was given the distance
tween the ships was less than two cables
length. The execution of the order was
Easy enough for ships further away from
The center, but extremely difficult for the
| Victoria and the Camperdown. In turn
iGg their bows would pass within a few
fathoms of each other, even if the move
ment was executed with the greatest pre-
cision. This movement is rarely made,
and is chiefly for the purpose of training
the ship commanders to move expedi-
hously away from shoaling waters.
Whether because Admiral Markham,
| Of the Camperdown, could not believe this
movement was to be tried when the ships
were so close together, or because he
thought Admiral Tryon had miscalcu-
lated the distance, he did not set about
executing Admiral Tryon's order, but
~signalled that he did not understand it.
The Victoria and the other vessels had
not hesitated. The Victoria began 20
turn at once, as she still held to the sig
nal. The Camperdown no longer hest
tated, but also began to turn. The brief
delay, however,
Had Been Fatal.
The Victoria had nearly turned, and the
Camperdown swinging around bore down
upon her. Both admirals were quick to
act. Admiral Tryon swung the Victoria
