A SAD DEATH.
Marshal ComStOck browns i'm Lake
Washington While in
Bathing.

Marshal, the fifteen year old son of
M. T. Comstock, and only brother of
w. L, Comstock, was drowned in
Lake Washington Friday after
noon, while in bathing with
party of young friends. Nine of
the young people living on Agency
hill formed a little party to spend
the day at the lake, and went out
at $50 in the morning, stopping at
Pat Sheehan's house. Shortly after
dinner they rowed through the mar
rows and went in bathing in the bay
northwest of the narrows, where
there is a springboard. The boys of
the party had suits and went in bath
ing, while the girls waited for them
on the shore. The party was cnmpos-
ed of Marshal Comstock, Willie
Hawks, Ray Bradshaw. Grace Com
stock, an eighteen year old sister of
the deceased, Grace and Ella Larkin
and Nellie Hawks.
The party went in bathing at 2:3O
o'clock and those that knew how
dived off the Espringboard. Mar
shall could swim little and was
very anxious to learn to dive. He
tried it several times while standing
on the bottom, and then walked out
on the springboard, where the water
was over his head, and jumped off.
This was the first time that he had
ever jumped off springboard and
he struck the water fatty upon his
stomach. He jumped and whether
this took the wind from his lungs and
swallowed some water or whether he
was taken with cramps will probably
never be known. From Willie
Hawks, who was with him, we learn
that he floated on the surface for a
moment and then sank. Upon COM
ing up he called for help and was
seen to be padding with his hands.
Willie Hawks undertook to swim
out to him but changed his mind and
went to get the boat, which was an
chored on account of the waves, Time
was lost with the anchor, and when
the boat was rowed to, the spot
the boy sank for the last time almost
as the oar touched him. The
body could not be seen, and the
alarm was given at Mr.. Volk's land
ing, after an unsuccessful effort to
hail passing steamboat. The body
was not taken from the water for two
or three hours after it sank from
view the last time, 1t was found in
nine feet of water, and was taken to
Mr.. Sheehan's.
When word was brought to the city
at about supper time W. L.Comstock,
Byron Hughes, W. L. Bradshaw and
w. H. Pay went to Lake Washington
and brought the remains home, ar
irving late in the evening. The
funeral will take place at two O'Clock
tomorrow, from the residence on Main
street.
Marshal Comstock was an. un-
usually bright boy. He had been at
tending the spublic schools, and dur
ing the vacation was Employed in his
brothers law office. He gave promise
of making a worthy citizen and his
sudden taking away is terrible
shock to the family circle which has
been riven. The sympathy of all will
be extended to the bereaved family.
Marshal attended the Presbyterian
church and Sunday school.

Some parties have been shooting
ducks about the lake, taking ad-
vantage Of the error in the law. The
attorney generalholds that it is 'ques-
tionable whether the courts would
not hold it violation of the law to
shoot ducks before Sept. 1st, owing to
its evident intention, and that those
who shoot ducks this month do it on
their own responsibility. The young
ducks can scarcely fly and are unfit for
food and it is an inexcusable slaught-
er to kill them.

Qulet Life of IN Ex-EmDreKs.

The widowhood Of ex-Empress Fred
erick Of Germany is passed in semi
retirement and in the performance of
acts of charity She is one of the few
royal ladies of Europe who may be
said to take more than passing inter-
est in scientific things, and though by
no means blueStoclling, she devOtes
considerable time to literary studies.
Since Frederick's death she has WELD
ed but little influence in public affairs,
although the San Francisco report says
she possesses marked ability in that
direction. OF course everybody re-
members the diplomatic story crediting
her with procuring the downfall Of
Bismarck and his withdrawal from
his commanding position in German
politics, and that it was brought about
to even up an old score she owed the
grim chancellor EX-Empress Freder-
ick's years Of widowhOod are passing
quietly and uneventfully. Her devo-
ton to Fredericks memory and her
love for her books are the predominant
features Of her life. She treasures
jealousy the desk at which her hus-
band wrote his diaries She is greatly
liked by the poor of Berlin, to whom
she is veritable Lady Bountiful, with
a big private list of pensioners. Her
hair is slightly silvered, but she still
has the same quiet soft voice and
fascinating smile that made her look
like an angel to those who saw her at
the bedside Of her husband at San
Reno four years ago. Three brief
months Of imperial honors have been
followed by life of sadness, unre-
lievcd save by her studies and her love
for her sons children.

Il Wrinkle In Ba bbitttnE.

A little wrinkle in babbitting journal
boxes is given by a Canadian writer,
which, although not new. may not be
generally known. When lining up a
shaft put small piece of pine wood
in the bottom Of the box, in length
about one and one-half or two inches
less than that Of the box and in width
tive-eighths to one and One-half inches,
according to the size Of the box. Equal
lie it in the bottom from each end and
let the shaft lie on it and pour. After
you have scraped out the box remove
the piece of pine and substitute some
wooden cloth saturated with oil. This
prevents the oil from dripping off, and
not only insures Il positive fabrication
of the journal, but also is clean and
requires less oil than other journals.

giant strides, bounding in the air three

the air, coming down first on one foot
then on the other. Then he makes pro-
digious leaps-scven, eight feet and
more-into the air, and lands lightly
with both feet on the wire. A peculiar
thing is that as soon as he lands on the
wire it stops dead, and he stands us
firmly and steadily on it as though
poised on granite pedestal He makes
a great bound, assisted by the spring of
the wire, six or seven feet into the air,
and comes down sitting sidcwise on the

Carrier Pi~eons on Large Vessels.
IL at Clear LakeeeuB-d flw Oiaocehtr
Capt. George A. Brown Of Sandusky,
ut a meeting of vessel men held in
Toledo last week, suggested the idea
Of adopting a carrier pigeon system
of communication between lake vessels,
and his views upon the matter at once
met with unanimous favor Capt
Brown says that every boat on the
lakes could very easily carry pigeons
and at any point that the crew saw fit
the pigeons could be released and bear
the missives to places on shore. This
system of communication would be
especially valuable in case of ship
wrecks or accidents of any kind, when
it would be impossible in any other
way to communicate with any place on
land to get relief. Capt. Brown cites
the recent loss of the steamer Will
lam H. Gilcher as an Illustration where
carrier pigeons would have been inval-
liable for this purpose and would pos
sibly have been the means of saving
human life.
