every floating rush over one of the seas
piled aawhole hill of foam under her bows.
Once in a while she would take a sea
over her quarter, and storm of spray
would fly across the deck.
"Wel, I'm making this yarn long as an
unrove pendantstackle. But it looked to
me as though that bark had a soul and
knew why we was pressing her so. All
that night she spun along, and every
minute we expected to see the topsails go.
Didn't seem to us as if any canvas could
stand that strain, There was a whole
gale blowing then. and she was reeling
along before it with ten foot or more of
her weather sheathipg out of water.
just about daylight the upper main
topsail went, and few minutes later the
lower followed suit About s O'Clock the
sun showed himself long enough for me
to get a sight, and when / had worked it
out found that we were about POO miles
southeast of Hatteras. Shortly after
wardas heavy squall carried the fore,
tOfmast out, and the bark went plunging
along driven by her fore and mainsail
and staysail. That, you see, crippled her
badly. The masts and sails were towing
alongside, and it took two of us nearly an
hour to cut them adrift.
II have been going TO sea now about
twenty years, but tell you Inever saw
the like of the hurricane that hit US
about noon that day. 1t took the main
sail out, and a minute later both sails
went. We scudded before it-althat even
ing and night, and next morning the wind
died out. and it looked as if we were
going to roll the stumps of the mast over
board in the sea that it left. 1 got my
bearings that night by stars, and found
that we were only about fifty miles from
the Virginia capes., The next morning
we made shift to set spare fore
sail, and headed in for port. A tug took
US in tow that evening, and brought us
into Hampton Roads We lost our spars
and sails, but we saved the life of thes
captain.
THAT gentlemen, was the only time
ever took part in an ocean race"

boys, who greeted him with howls of
derision.
"Oh, cheel where did " get it atl"
they asked him.
But he was too much worried to enter
into the fun of the thing. When he reached
the ofice the manager was there.

baby on the counter as he would have

The boy was sure he had gone TO the

woman's name however and could give
no description Of her except that she
wore dark dress and seemed to be "all

cared for the infant. Sometimes he had
TO carry it up and down the room or jump
it on his knee. The other boys assisted
in various ways TO entertain the small

summoned and they took the baby that
no one would sign for and put it in a

Johnson City, Tenn, April 16.-Jere
Sands had a terrible conflict with a bear
in Grassy Cave Saturday The animal
had been trapped, and when Sands came
upon the scene the Infatuated beast broke
his letters and was upon the hunter in an
instant, and battle TO the death began.
In a moment the hunter was in the en-
brace of his antagonist. They fell to the
ground. and rolling over and over, went
down the mountain side thirty feet and
dropped OIL a ledge OF rock twelve feet
high. The bear happened to fan under
meath, and during the momentary shock
which followed the half-dead man man
aged to draw from his belt his hunting
knife and plunge it into the animals neck,
severing the Jugular vein.
This ended the battle, but SanGs was so
badly hurt that he could not return home,
and was found by a searching party TO-
day.

PROGRESS IN TWO PLACES
Prices of Property Maintained by
Owners.
BUILDING BUSINESS IMPROVES.
First Dividend of an Electric Street
Railroad Which Penetrated Wire
gin Territory-NOtes.

The situation in the real estate market
continues without much apparent change,
although a slight improvement is spoken
of among agents. Buying city property
seems to have been reduced to strictly
business Propositions for present require
ments. as few purchasers are found who
will bid on the future.
For this reason the market is IN nor
NAL condition, which indicates the COM
mercial pulse, and does more for regulat-
ing values than any other cause. Still,
there is room for improvement all around,
although the tendency is upward. Prices
in general are maintained by owners of
land. while prospective purchasers look
for reductions, and the same old difference
keeps back many sales which otherwise
would have been cOnsummated.
Activity in different parts of town leads
dealers to believe that real estate in North
Beach, Richmond and Ashbury Heights
will soon be upon the market this season.
The northern part of the city will be so
improved by Senator Fair that a great
change may be looked for between Pacific
Heights and the bay shore, and with new
railroad facilities the trend of population
may be diverted in that direction. So
much has been done, however, in opening
the western portion that population will
not be tempted from the park vicinity. and
in these TWO districts changes for the bet
ter can reasonably be expected.

OVER $4,000 FOR THE BABIES.

The Sick Babies Fund to-day amounts
to $24 O32. g. As everybody knows. who
has followed the course OF the charity,
and nearly half-million people have
had their eyes on II every day, this Is
the largest amount reached in any year
since the Fund came into existence,
seven years ago. Without the surplus
from former Summers. which was added
when the Fund opened last May, the
contributions are nearly 5000 In excess
OF those of the record year, 1892, when
over $4,000 was received from the peo-
pie.
The present large Fund. amassed in a
season Of terrible business distress Is a
magnificent testimonial OF the popular

1t shows not only that New Workers.

liberal handed, and that the cry of inno-

CLEARING THE LoBBlEs.

President Scannell. OF the Fire Com
mission. confirms the story that the law
prohibiting the managers of theatres
from allowing persons to stand in the
aisles during n performance must be
enforced. II the law Is as objectionable
as some persons represent, he says, the
best way to insure its repeal or amend
ment Is to enforce II. His own judgment
Is that 1t Is good law, and that to
allow people to stand In the aisles and
lobhies of places of amusement must
necessarily Cbstruct rapid exit In case of
fire, and Is calculated to lead to disaster,
President Scannell says the officers Of
the Department will be instructed to use
discretion In enforcing the law. and to
avoid as far as possible any controversy
with the employees of the theatres OF
course. the Hobbies at the back of the
boxes are the places where the people
| who pay admission money only gather
| and that is just where crowding Is the
| most Objectionable and the most hazard
ous. Yet the law mentions "ai.les" only
and 1t il contended by theatrical folk,
that this space behind the boxes Is no
| an "aslc." So the ilremen stationed a
theatres are instructed to use some dis
oretion in enforcing the law, but to taxi
care that no crowding obstructing tn
exits shall BE- permitted
The law is good one for the publ
in many respects, and It is TO be hope,
it win be properly enforced.
