INTO THE HARBOR.
Capt. Davies Gets a Cold Bath in
the Harbor.

Tumbles In the harbor are get
ting to be the rule these days.
Capt. Davies Of the schooner Mahl-
mahi had his turn Tuesday after
noon. He was going out Of the
harbor about 5 P. NJ. with the
American flag flying at the peak.
The captain was sitting on the rail
admiring the stars and stripes as
they foated In the breeze when he
suddenly lost his balance and went
over backwards, just as the
schooner passed the Pacific Mail:
wharf. 4 native sailor sprangl
into the water after him and held
the captain up until help arrived
The Claudine happened to have
boat in the water at the time and
Philadelphia boys had one launch

of three minutes. The captain
was picked up, a wetter if not a
sadder man.

DANGERS OF PILGRIMS.
Some of Them That Arc Encountered G
Journeys to Mecca.

Some of Them That Arc Encountered on
Journeys to Mecca.
The risks Of pilgrimage to Mecca
may well make the most earnest Mus
sulman hesitate to undertake that
pious duty. Of the sixty-six thousand
pilgrims who have sailed from various
Oriental ports for this sacred spot dur"
ing the last six years some twenty-five
thousand have never returned, says the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch. A few, it Is
thought, may possibly find their way
back by other routes Many, 1t is
feared, are murdered by gangs Of bad
mashes, who are believed to travel
regularly by the Jedda steamers, mark
ing down pilgrims who are possessed
of valuables and attacking them when
favorable opportunity occurs.
It is said, however, that by far the
greater number fall by the wayside on
the long tramp from Jedda to Mecca or
Medina. So far as the sea voyage is
concerned the return journey Is for OBJ
vious reasons the more dangerous.
The overland tramp to and from the
sacred cities has the effect Of lowering
the vitality of the traveller, and he ar
rives at Jedda in state which predis-
poses him to the attacks Of epidemic
diseases, engendered by the overcrowd-
ing and unspeakable filth OF the pill
grim vessels.

An Unpopular Woman.

Ex-Empress Eugene has never been
popular in England. She is generally
disliked, partly because she is thought
to be a fanatical Roman Catholic and
partly because she is believed to have
driven her son, the prince imperial, to
self-banishmcnt and death by her harsh
treatment of him. This charge against
her is distinctly made in Comte d'Her-
rison's book, "The Prince Imperial,
Napoleon w." just published in Paris.
He says: after his fathers death all
persons that had been devoted to the
emperor and the young prince were
dismissed; Empress Eugene re-
fused to notice that her son was no
longer child and treated him accord
ingly. The stipend allowed him was
ridiculously small, so he was forced to
borrow constantly from his compan-
ions. His letters had to pass through
the mothers and the governors hands
before they were delivered with sneer-
ing remarks; in short, the young man
was humiliated by his mother and her
servants constantly and in every way
possible"

iT is NOT SLANG.

5Tho Term "Gent ." ana Its Modern Ap.
~ pllcation.
The word Hgent" nowadays seems 10
wear its hat cooked on one side Of the
head and to walk with a caddish swag-
ger of vulgar self-importance. But I
know worthy old lady i'll the country,
writes Edward Eggleston In Century,
who calls her husband the "old gent, {"
$uSing 1t sis q title Of respect, and such
twas In her childhood and long be-
fore. In 1854 Rev. Samuel Davies,
afterward president Of Princeton col
legs. travelling in England, describes
Rev. DR.. Lardner as '.a little pert old
gent, epithets that would not be fat
tering TO a munster to-day, nor even
dignifed for q minister to use. ''Pert'
here has the sense of ''lively'-much
as o Kentnckian might use "peart" or
. New Englander, 'sperk." Indeed, l
suspect that Davies gave the word the
sound OF s'peart." That Davies used
'.gentn as term Of respect is shown by
hia Characterization of another rev.
aerend doctor as '.a venerable, humble
and affectionate old gent" twill not
do, therefore, to account word recent
.because Of its slanginess. When a
smoker processes fondness for "the
weed" he does not dream that he is
using an epithet applied to tobacco by
King James I. IL, 1920, and that nearly
two hundred years earlier than James,
in the reign Of Edward VI, the hop
plant Just coming into England was
called ''the wicked weed" What
plant had worn this title of contempt
before the hop do not know.

AN AWFUL BATTLE.
Scenes on the Chen-Yuen During tho Yalu
River Fight

Scenes on the Chen-Yuen During tho Yalu
River Fight.
A British naval officer attached to
the Chinese naval squadron which was
engaged in the fight OFF the mouth Of
the Yalu river has written. a letter to
the London Graphic il which he gives
additional details Of the fighting, and
says:
son board the warship Chen -Yuen the
fighting was awful. The decks and the
space around the guns were strewn
with human fragments. Three Of FIVE
men working on four-ton gun were
blown up by shell from the Japanese
warship Naniwa. The fourth gunner
was shot while try ing to escape from
the turret and the fifth stuck to his
post.
''This man fired three rounds at
the Naniwa, one shell entering the
engine room Of the japanese ship end
another smashing her forebridge. The
Naniwa then hauled off. The Chinese
admiral rewarded the surviving gum
ner with a present of one thousand
taels.
ga shell glanced from the steel deck
of the Chen-Yuen and went through
her tower, shattering everything there
in. A lieutenant who was in the act Of
speaking through the tube leading to the
engine room was blown into atoms and
his head was left hanging to the speak
ing pipes. Huge fragments of armor
and the teak backing thereof were car
ried on board by the shot, crushing
large number Of sailors into shape
less mass.
"a European engineer who was in
the act of cropping about in an endeavor
to repair o steampipe was drenched
from head to foot with the blood of an
assistant who was disemboweled by his
side by shot from the enemy's ship.
"Thcn Chen-Yuen arrived at Wei
Hai-Wei the day after the fight in the
same condition in which she left. the,
battle. No attempt has been made to
wash the blood from her or remove the
corpses which strewed her decks"
The writer expresses the opinion
that if the European rulers could have
seen the decks of the Chen-Yuen they
would have foresworn war henceforth
and forever.
