4 BRIG IN THE DESERT.
Its Owner Says He Is All Ready for the Sandy Waste to Become Sea. 2. From the San Francisco Call.l


 From the San Francisco Call.l
 "One of the queerest and most sur prising sights ever saw in all my wan derings over the'wilds of this country" said E. c. Traver,a we'll known prospec- tor and civil engineer a few days ago, was a newly constructed brig lying on the floor of Death Valley. And it Is there yet, so that anybody can see it.
 When I first saw 1t I was almost paralyzed. I could not believe my eyes, and thought I must have passed through some mental lapse and was not in Death Valley at all. But, after gazing at the strange object a few min 'tes, and then looking around me and seeing the wastes of burning sands and feeling the hot 3breath of the desert wind, knew that everything about me was most realistically real. .s
 Tt was by the merest chance that I ran across the vessel said MT. Traver, because had been few feet further south I would never have. seen it. You sec, had been working on the eastern side of the valley for several weeks without success, and Concluded to go u 4houII 1Celi WiHI "AlSIC ! "outo ~e least be sure of expenses. I was cross ing the valley at the northern end, winch is quite narrow, but about the lowest spot on the earth's surface. am not exactly certain, but think that where the vessel Is it is about two hundred feet below sea level. 4 After the first surprise had worn off I began to figure out how the craft came there. That the vessel was rel. ic of a past age never entered my head for moment, because it was constrlc- ted on perfectly modern lines and the wood had yellow appearance, indica- ting that it had not been cut very long. I am something # a sailtr myseIt. sr1tl the fir-t glance told me that it was the work of some modern ship-builder; but that only made the mystery greater. Going close, made a careful exam nation of my strange find. It pruvefl to be a perfect brig of about four hun dred tons, that had never been in wa ter. Everything about it was of the best style of workmanship, and showed plainly that the builder had put forth his best efforts. The keel was laid flat on the sand and the starboard side placed up against small reef of rocks. The port side was supported in the usual maner. @ Climbing on to the deck by small rope ladder, I found everything ship- shape. The decks were as clean and white as man-of-War's and every rope was in place. Entering the cabin,l l found everything neat and clean, and several hunks with bedding ready tc sleep in. Such q thing, however would have been impossible, as the heat was simply unbearable, and had to go to the door, gasping for breath

 We sincerely congratulate our es. teemed contemporary, the "Journal and Courier on the improvement in its appearance. Its new clothes fit it nicely, and it looks as youthful and viz orous as any of it's younger ooutempo- raries, notwithstanding it Is many times the age of several of them.
 The Journal md Courler'' has long been regarded with favor by the people of New Haven and the state of Connec- ticut, and descrvedly SO. It Is ably con- ducted and it Is reliable.
 New Haven is the home of good news papers, and the Courier" while always conservative, has never failed to be as enterprising as was consistent with its careful policy.
 The youngest of New Haven's news papers is sincerely pleased to extend congratulations to its aged contemporn- vat the same time expressing the hope that it may Hive long and prosper. [IFrom tho Norwich Bulctinl The New Haven "Journol and Courier appeared in the Bulletins mail Monday with q new face. The appearance of our old friend in modern form and dress is gratifying evidence of life, energy and success; but the sober, conservati, 0 look which has so become it's age and sterling character has departed forever, and although it may do things different from what it has ill the past, 1t will have hard work to do them better. To q few old readers the new face will never equal the old; but the gain in bea ity will undoubtedly more than compensate most of it's renders for the change; and for up-to-dateishnes the Journal and Courier" now compares favorably with the handsomest and best daily papers in New England. May it ever hold the leading place in the hearts of New Haven republicans.

 Only few hours before she is tricked out in such a daintily feminine manner she is, just as likely as, not, to be seen in the primest of tailor rigs. In many cases the mischievous maids metamorphosis is more complete than even this startling change of attire indicates, for her carriage, gestures and speech are equally unlike. AL ways the perfect lady, she will assume a taking mannishness in her tailor garb and of course, she can do many thing which she would not permit her men friends to attempt. Take her vests, for Instance; no man would dare remove his coat in ladies company, but then he hasn't a jeweled buckle on the strap that regulates the width of his waistcoat in the back. She has, and that is why she becomes "just too warm to live" and takes off her jacket. Then she is in waisteoat and shirt sleeves, and though the front Of the waistcoat is as dapper as may be, the back is of contrasting material and color, and as conspieuously the wrong side" of the garment as can be. There is the strap at the waist in the back, and instead of the usual black buckle there is an elaborate affair, or some- thing of the same pattern, in gold or silver, with a jewel. or so besides. It is no wonder she gets too warm to keep that jacket on minute longer.

Many Wiles Has This Summers Girl.

When the summer girl of 1894 deigns to ornament her dress at all. she does so very freely and daintily to the end that late in the afternoon she may be as unlike her own tailor-made self of the forenoon as is possible. Bows are a conspicuous agent and this gown is an example of their use as garniture. This dress is of pale lavender co!ored satin garnished with black tulle, old lace applique and mirror velvet. The gored skirt is trimmed with two ruff1es of back gauge draped into festoons with bows of mirror velvet. The

 Lourties delivered an eloquent little speech, affirming that everybody agreed Rt the close of the Exhibition of 1889 that the French Republic, "as the ini- tiator of the exhibitions at the end of eighteenth century, would be wanting in its mission and it's duties towards man. kind if it did not resolve to close the nineteenth century also by festival of peace and industry" M.

It appears that there may be limit to the powers of the wire stretchers. The employees of a telephone company were stretching wires along the road which skirts the property of George w. Haw- kins, near Newburg, New York, and in so doing they disfgured half a dozen spruce trees, which had been planted by his father, by cutting off the branches. No consent to this mutila- tion had been given by the owner of the trees, and the linemen, as usual, had used their saws and axes without mercy. Mir. Hawkins sued the com pany for 5000, estimating the damage at $100 a tree. The jury gave a ver- dict of $500. Under provisions of the code in that state MT. Hawkins law yers then moved that a triple iudg- ment be made, and the court astounded the defendants by granting this and in- creased the judgment to $1,5OO.

Trlnkets Valued at $500 Seized by
tho Authorities.

Prof. Gaetano T~rentanove, a sculptor.
of Florence, Italy, who was a passenger
on the North German Lloyd steamship
Vera, which arrived in port this morn
ing from Genoa, made an effort to pass
the customs officials. when the vessel
locked at Hoboken, with a lot Of valu-
able jewel:y upon which he should have
paid duty.
In making his declaration on the pier
he stated that he had brought over
nothing dutiable. Inspectors Brown and

They instituted a search and in his
clothes found the jewelry. 1t consisted
Of one silver pencil, one diamond and
sapphire gold ring, one diamond and
pearl brooch, one diamond scarf pin and
one moonstone and diamond scarf pin.
The lost pin was particularly hand

cleverlv tucked away in a cigar-case.
The other Jewels were scattered about

probably amount to about $500.
Prof. Trentanove said the jewels were

them over for her. The two scarf-pins

hundred feet of land near that town.
including a strip OF land known as the

then no o W can save the place from
being swept away.
Great excitement prevails. and many
persons have moved to this side of the
river for safety. Store buildings and
houses which stood IN the north end of
the village are being torn down or
moved by their owners. Many buildings
have been moved, and laborers and
teams from this city and from the sur
rounding country assisted in the work.
Just north of East Atchison there are
three lines of railroad paralleling each
other, the Rock Island. the Santa Fe
