his masters death had come, and he
was determined to make the most of it.
The mans guilty conscience did not
prevent him from fighting desperately,
and he defended himself well. Again
and again the brave dog rushed at him
only to be beaten back by the club,
and the shield always came between
him and the mans throat, which he
tried hard to reach. The struggle was
long and hard, but the dog conquered.

Sio Famous Boy Captain Tells How
He Saved Ship.
The pages of the sea have given us
no finer tale for many day than that
OF the boy captain and the Clyde sail
ing ship Trafalgar. 1t is story that
might have been written by Robert
Louis stevenson or Clark Russell, or by
both together.
1t hardly need be said that the bow
captain, as we have got to call him, is
Mr.. William Shotten, the son of a
sailor, Capt. Stephen Shotten, and a
member of a Sunderland family.

his home, | had chat with the boy

and right before he could be dragged
away and disarmed by the united eff
forts of the guardhouse squads, whom
the shrieks of the scutfle had brought
up at double quick.
Two days after the tragedy Robert
Rodgers attempted an escape from the
guardhOuse cell and was taken for
safe keeping to the Brownsville city
jail. The voice of the public was a
unit against him, but strong faction
of his former comrades seems to have
planned his rescue, and their more or
less direct assistance enabled him to
reach the cellar of the Jail through
movable plank of the base
ment floor and a back allev
through the rusty grating of a
cellar-window. Once on the other
side of the river he would have been
safe, but the ferries were guarded, and
in his suburban hiding-place his pas
sion for drink got the better of his dis
erection. He got drunk, forced his way
into the street, and was promptly re-
arrested and dragged back to jail.
His friends convoled a secret coun-
ell, and two or three of his most enter
prising partisans managed to get them
selves committed to Jail in order to Sc
cure an inside base of operations; but
they soon found that no ingenuity could
retrieve the forfeited chance The re-
captured desperate was chained to the
floor of the safest cell between two SEN
tries. He was marched to the gallows,
under a strong escort, an hour after
the dawn of the next morning, and
there paid the penalty of his crime with
his life.-FcliX L. Oswald, NJ. D., in The

AMERICAN sNoBBERY ABROAD.

The expatriated New York millionaire
who owns the London Pail Mall Gazette
raps the English Anti-Lynching Com
mittee, now visiting this country, over
the knuckles. The object OF this Com
mittee Is to Impress on the American
people the evils of lynch law and to in
duce them to forego the practice OF fore
stalling justice by occasionally taking the
law and a convenient piece of rope into
their own hands.
Journalist Aston calls the mission OF the
Committee nothing short OF imperti-
nence," and says that public opinion in
America Is enlightened and alert enough
to deal with its own administrative
abuses, without the Interference of ir-
responsible English busybodies."
This departure from the customary
sycophancy of the Pail Mall Gazette
would be lncomprehensible but for the
fact that 1t Is made the handle for an
attack on the Irish American societies
here, which venture to express their
opinion OF English abuses In Ireland
These bodies. MIR. Aston says, have not
yet gone to the length OF addressing the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. or the Chief
Secretary. on the administration OF the
law in Ireland" but they have dared to
pass resolutions and the like which
come perilously near the Anti-Lynching

TWO WAYS OF RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.

A casual observer might think that
Levi =. Morton, running for Governor
amid the ease and abundance OF his
Rhineclin estate, with his fine Guernseys
lowing around him, should be an object
of envy to David B. HILL whom the fates
compel to hustle, and whose most prolific
cows they do say. are this year declin-
ing to give down their milk for his bene-

Such a conclusion would, however, be
superficial and Inaccurate. Mr. Morton

THE HARVEST OF DEATH.

Death gathered In two American citi-

Blue the Seasons Color.

Blue is the color of the season. Din
ner services and luncheon services, and
indeed all the objects of table use, are
shown in the favorite color and we are
told it is to supplant everything else.
Green was high in favor, but 1t is so no
more. Blue comes to us with the APP
prevail of society across the sea, and so
takes first place. Just why one color
must be supreme no one is in a position
to state. We all know that there are
times and rooms in which blue is de-
lightful, and that there are occasions
upon which tender green is better. But
fashion has nothing at all to do with
such facts. Blue Is the declared craze,
and all the possessions of the past must
be buried out of sight.

A large soft sponge makes the best
damp buster. 1t should be moderately
fine and perfectly free from grit. Soak
IT in a pan of water and then wiring 1t
as dry as possible; never try to use it
with much water in it. When you are
busting, free the sponge of the dust by
rinsing thoroughly in clear water.
When you have finished using, wash it
free of all dust and grit and hang 1t in
the sun to dry. If a sponge Is not cared
for 1t soon gets soft and squashy and
full of particles of grit and then 1t will
not be fit for anything. Some house
keepers always wash windows with
sponge. 1t Is an excellent cleaner-if 1t
is kept clean itself-but it will streak

take the liberty to answer II. Davis, that the
part he quotes in Timothy proof OF mans in
