WHY NOT AN UP-To-DATE BRAvEl

Massachusetts is looking for an In
dian. 1t wants to picture him on the
Commemorative coat-of-arms. And that
he may be an Indian as is AN Indian,
application has been made TO the Blu
roau Of Ethnology for the proper face,
figure and costume OF an aboriginal
brave.
We don't see why Massa chusetts
should look for Il Pain-in-the- Nccktie, a
Fleas-in-the- Blanket or other compare
lively obsolete type OF the American
savage to put into its coat-of-arms.
Why doesn't IL get an up-to-date In
dian? Why not send "A representative

A BRAVE ACT.

In these days Of exposure OF police
misdeeds 1t is pleasant to record a brave
and commendable act on the part of a
member of a force whose reputation for
devotion and bravery at least cannot be
assailed.
Matthew Monaghan, the member OF the
Broadway Squad who guards the cross
Ing at Barclay street and Broadway, was
on duty last Saturday afternoon. when n
runaway horse attached to a mail wagon
came tearing down the crowded thor
oughfare. An old man was In the cart, and
he had lost control Of the powerful horse.
which by some means had become strip
ped of the harness about the head. There
was immediate danger of n collision with
the cable cars. and wild scene of con-
fusion prevailed.
Monaghan sprang into the road. and
by some adroit means seized the horse
by the ear and turned his head on one
side. stopping him as easily as II he had
been complet ely harnessed. The feat was
remarkable one. and as 1t was per.
formed at the risk OF the mans life. and
probably prevented a fatal accident, II
certainly deserves notice.

CREW OF nine SAVED
The Mississippi Took All Hands
from a Waterlogged Bark.
The Hakon Jarl Was Dismantled in
the Gale Of Sept. 8.
Laden with Lumber, the Abandoned
Vessel Is u Menace.

The French liner, Champagne reached
this port yesterday from Havre and re-
ported a wreck at sea which was then
thought to have resulted in loss of life
on the morning of Sept Ii bark was
sighted, flying the signal flags IN. IT,"
denoting that she was in a sinking con-
dition. La Champagne ran alongside the
bark, which was waterlogged and had
settled very low in the water. A boat
was sent aboard, and her name was as
certained to be Hakon Jarl. She was
lumber-laden, and had been previously
reported as bound to Glasgow from Dali
housie.
This morning the British steamship
Mississippi arrived at this port and al
most the first passengers ashore were

the disabled bark Sept. TO- the day be-
fore La Champagne fell in with her,
and had taken off the crew of nine.
told an Evening World" reporter to-
day that he sailed from Dalhousie for
Glasgow, Aug. %, with cargo of birch
lumber. The weather was moderate
and favorable, until Sept. Z, when the
wind freshened a bit and gradually in
creased in force until the morning of
the sth, when 1t blew with hurricane
violence from southwest and west for
period of eighteen hours. When the
gale began, the bark was in latitude 40,
All attempts to heave the bark to
proved unavailing. The fearful sea that
overwhelmed her SO suddenly had
thrown her over on her beam ends, and
she refused to answer to her helm.
The deckload of lumber brokes away,
some of 1t going overheard and a large
portion tanning in the lee rigging and
water ways, holding her down and rem
dering her completely unmanageable.
Just at this time the bark sprung
leak. The sea was SO heavy and the
list of the bark SO acute that the pumps
could not be manned. The remnants of
the deckload dashed from side to side
across the deck, rendering 1t impassa-
BILE to the sailors.
Nothing could be done to save the
fast, and the only hope was that some
vessel might heave In sight and take
them off.
On the morning of Sept. 10, latitude
1915, longitude 4O3, their long vigil
was rewarded by the appearance of the
Mississippi. She bore down upon seeing
the distress signal and, with much diff
fculty, owing to the high sea running,
a boat was launched from the Missis-
sippi and the nearly exhausted sailors
were rescued. They saved nothing but
the clothing they stood in.
The Hakon Jarl was built at Grim
stadt In 1866, and hailed from Chris
tiansand, where she was partially in
sured. She was of 49l tons register.
In her present shape she is menace

AT SARATOGA TOMORROW.

Plat Is boss, and Levi p. Morton is
his profit. Plat has been one of the
Republican machine leaders for some
time. But this year he has shaken off
all his associates. and stands alone as
the absolute Dictator Of his party.
There Is still an opposition to Plat, as
matter of course. There are many
men who would like to break the SLATE"
and prevent the nomination OF the can
didates selected by the boss for Governor
and observation-disclosures. But they have
no adhesion, and, what Is worse, very
few of the influential men among them
have any pluck. The consequence is that
the SLATE" Is likely to go through the
ratification meeting at Saratoga to-mor-
row and to leave Thomas C. Plat Grand
Tycoon Of Republicanism for some years
to come.
In the Democratic party there has
been divided boss-ship-Croker in the
city and Hill and Murphy in the State
In the Republican party Plat Is ruler
in the State and city both.
There will be some little embarass-
ment over to-morrows platform. 1t has
been given out that the campaign is to
be fought on the tariff. There is to be
an attack on Trusts and n resolution
that any subscription OF money by a
corporation to a political party for cam
paign purposes shall be made n penal
ofense.
But what has a State Government to
do with the tariff How will the Re-
publlcans reconcile tariff agitation
with their denunciation OF the Democ-
racy for n disturbance OF the tariff?
How can the Republican State Con-
vention attack Trusts. when the Repub-
lican Constitutional Convention Is pro-
tectlng and fostering Trusts In the new
Constitution How can Republican
ism denounce moneyed subscriptions for
political purposes by corporations when
1t has been living for years on such
subscriptions? How can the Saratoga
gathering denounce Hin and Murphy
for alleged political trickery in the
State. when the Albany gathering Is
engaged in making one of the most
scandalously fraudulent appointments
ever imposed on a people?
The work OF this Convention, whose
business has been done beforehand on
slate" will satisfy the people that
the reform cry In the State means
simply turning over the government
from one set of bosses to another set
from a Democratic machine to a Re-
publican machine.

CHINESE GAMBLERS RAIDED.

Detectives Perkins and Downing, OF
the Elizabeth street station, early last
evening raided n game of fan-tan on the
third floor of 10 Doyers street. The at

and the policemen had no trouble in
getting past him.

A few hours later, at a concert in the
Chinese Theatre, quarrel took place
betweent Lee Wing, OF Sl9 DE Kalb ave-
nue., Brooklyn, and Barber Ching Hing,
OF l6 Pell street. When elected from the
theatre they came to blows in the street.
Wing was struck on the head with a
piece of iron pipe, and was unable TO
appear at the Tombs Court when the
case was called.
Both men had participated in the
fap-tan game, and one accused the
other OF informing the police. Hing
was remanded to await the result OF
Wings injuries.

The Bible and POIygamy--RepIy,

does not countenance polygamyH In the patri-
archal days 1t was the rule Where is the con-
domination OF this practicef Where is It con-
manded that man shall have but one wifer .I
D. u refers to Gen.il., "a. where It SAYS that
"a man shall leave his father and his mother
and shall cleaye unto his wife," Why GER
talnly! When young man leaves home to
marry, even where polygamy is legal he only
maTries one wife at first. But there is no re-
striction as to the number OF wives he shall
take afterwards, as l now proceed to show
Deut xvii. H. forbids a king to muItiplv
wives, but this clearly does not apply to his
subjects; and Lew xviii, IS, forbids the mar
riage OF one man to two sisters at the same
time. showing plainly that a man might marry
as many wives as he chose. II they were not too

eountenances poygamy. II. d. O." says that
vile who advocated a change OF religion to her
husband was guilty of treason. and that treason
Is rightly punished by death-cting the case OF
Major Andre and Arnold. The hanging OF a spy

stones The verses. Deut. kill, 6-lO are I'M

1t was feared that the vessel would
be damaged by scraping her keel on the
bottom of the dock as she went out.
Her draught is twenty-six feet eight
inches, and the dock Is ordinarily only
twenty-five feet six inches deep.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.

No one who knows Ex-Mayor Abram
S. Hewitt will accuse him of optimism.
But before he left for Europe last Sat
urday he drew very hopeful picture
OF affairs and OF the prospects for the
future In this country.
Mr.. Hewitt declares that the condi-
ton Of mankind Is better to-day than
ever before; that labor gets higher
wages and the wage buys more: that
the world produces more than ever, and
It's products are more evenly divided
The aggregate of unemployed labor IL
great. but 30 Is the aggregate OF unem-
ployed capital, and when enterprise
sets the one free It will decrease the
other Mr.. Hewitt believes that the
settlement OF the tariff question has
already revived business, and that
activity will speedily succeed the recent
protracted inactivity.
Mr.. Hewitt says he does not sympa-
thize with personal attacks on such men
as Giroy and Croker. They want good
government. and are ready to do their
best to secure 1t. but they also want
Tammany to get the profit. and of that
the ex-Mayor does not approve. He de-
sires reform from another direction. He
would restrict the suffrage and make
Judges appointive and he considers the
british system of government the best
now In existence"
As Mr. Hewitt lays the blame of our
municipal evils on the good citizens"
the good business and professional men
who are spoken of as the bone and sinew
OF our municipalities" and who have
sat supinely by while those municipal
ties have been and are governed by for
eigners," he will doubtless return home
before election. and as one Of the new
Committee OF Seventy do his best to
remedy the Ills of which he complains.

Scalp EmOllient.

The natural condition of a healthy
scalp Is warmth and moisture. A dry
scalp is unhealthy, even though 1t
shows no signs of disease, and artificial
oil must be provided If the hair crop is
to be saved. Almond oil, cocoanut but
ter, olive oil, diluted glycerine or tine
ture of bayberry are good emollients
rubbed into the scalp with sufficient
friction to cause absorption either will
be beneficial. But these oils are heavy,
and considerable brushing will be re-
quired to keep the hair clean.

While John Larcen, twenty-seven years
