MUT1NoUs INDIAN SAILORS.

VANCOUVER. B. c., Nov. %, 1884,
AT the Westminster Assizes yesterday
six of the Indian crew of the sealing
schooner C. D.. Rand were found guilty
of revolt and mutiny on the high seas.
Just outside of Behring Sea, on last sea-
sons sealing cruise, this crew took pos
session of the vessel and remained in
command for nine days. The Indians
outnumbered the white crew three to
one. At length the captain took ad-
vantage of a favorable opportunity,
when there were only two of the In
dams on deck, and drove them into the
hold, where he kept them confined until
the vessel reached Vancouver.
For the defence it was claimed that
the captain supplied them with whis-
key, gave them no food, and was TAX
ing them to Copper Island instead of to
Behring Sea, as had been agreed upon,
and the Indians, fearing barbarous treat
e at the hands of the Russians at
Copper Island, reyolted. The defence,
however, was broken down Inc the In
dams convicted. The sentence will be
pronounced tomorrow.

PRINCETON MATTERS.
An Exciting Run-Debate with Har-

SDecfal 10 the Jefseu Cftu NerS.

PRINCETON, Nov. %, 1s9+.-The
Princeton University barriers had a
prize run yesterday which covered a dis
lance of six miles. 1t proved the most
exciting run of the season. AT one
point the course lay across a deep
stream, and as several students were
crossing it on a log this frail bridge
gave way and a number of students
were immersed in the cold water be-
Meath. Hanlon, '96, who ran as one of
the "hares," gained eight minutes on
his pursuers, and was therefore award
ed the prize, according to the regula-
tions in vogue.
w. Howard Butler, chairman of the
committee empowered to treat with rep
resentatiVes of Harvard on the sub
ject of an intercollegiate debate. re-
ported last night that it had been de-
ided to hold a public debate between
Princeton and Harvard at Princeton, on
March /, 1895. Princeton was in favor of
second speeches for the purpose of re-
buttal. but Harvard preferred that each
speaker be allowed but one speech. A
compromise was effected, and after q
twelve-minute speech by each speaker
twelve minutes will be allowed each
side to use as they see fit. Similar argu-
ments are expected to be made with
Yale.

Now the Chinese or japanese maid
servant is becoming fashionable on ac-
count of her picturesque possibilities. If
she wear her native dress she is about
as attractive as a s1,5o0 vase or a rare
piece of br~ic-a-brac. Visitors like to
look at her, and consequently the pref
tier and more graceful the girl the higher
wage she can command. Long, narrow
eyes, thin, black brows. and a clear com
plexion are the things desired.
An oriental girls hair is always shiny
and well arranged, and everything about
her is invariably neat. A part of her
duties is attendance at the door. This
is where the spectacular feature counts.
After the ring of the electric bell has
died away there Is a pattering of Slip

wooden stills, and the door swings back,
revealing a small. brilliant figure with

HOW THE CATS JUMP.

The question why cats fall on their feet
has been solved to the satisfaction of the
French Academy of Sciences. M. Maurice
Levy gave a mathematical demonstration
that a cat can, by certain movement of
it's body, turn round in the air without
external assistance. His theorem Is
that a natural system can pivot on n
by itself if certain of its points have, in
of liberty as to describe curves without
hGmpering the movement OF the other
points of tfo system. A gymnast. writ
ing to the Temps, gives the explanation.
Just as an acrobat, he says turns a
somersault in the air by pressing his
chin on his breast and his knees on his
thorax thus making the centre of grav-
ity pass from one point to another,
so the cat, a born acrobat, is equally
expert-Paris Cablegram.

care may have been given to the get-up,

tumbled hair, negligee cap, and, well,
the general loose get up being far from
natty looking. Riding the iron and steel
horse may be popular, but certainly 1t is
not pretty.
OF course some of the fashionable wo-
men have learned to ride; they are con-
tinuaHy seeking for some new distrac-
ton. But you can be very certain that
they will ride in private schools or on
their own private grounds, and not
through the streets of New York or in
the public parks. They are too wise to
max guys of themselves for the bene-
fit of the general public. Occasionally
they might do 1t among their own crowd

AGAINST THE REFERENDUM.


The Mems Fortnightiy Club met In the
gymnasium of ST. Johns Free Chureh
last night and discussed the Referendum
Mr.. Frank o. Cole presented the suplect
| and a general discussion followed
Mr. Cole took a stand against the Refer
endum because he said he did not believe
that the people were sufficiently versed
in public affairs to vote un"derstandingly
upon public AFFAIR.". He said that II the
people desired reform they could receive
1t by electing competent men to office.
He quoted the last election to prove that
the people were swayed to and fro. In
| 1892 said Mr.. Cole, the country de-
| cided one way and elected Mr.. Cleveland
President by an immense majority. and
in 1894 they changed to the other extreme
and voted the Republican party in by
almost as large a majority. When the
country is ripe for it I am heartily in
favor of the referendum, but we cannot
successfully lave it today"
He quoted the Constitutional Amend
ment vote in New York City, where a
little over half of the voters voted on
the question. In Hudson county several
years ago on the amendments to the
Constitution on Special Legislation, a
thing which has worked more harm 10
our cities, towns or hamlets than almost
any other one thing, less than 1000 voters
voted on, the measure. Last year in this
county there were polled over 10000 votes.
There were over 10000 voters who were
so Indifferent, who SO little understood
eul molI 6sMe uErmsI OF Sc uonssnb eul
polls.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Coles re-
marks Mr.. Saul indulged in a bitter
harangNe in favor of the act, In which
he said. among other things that our
present Government according, as he
termed it. to the Hamiltonian theory is
a failure. He accused Mr.. Cole of look
ing at the question through party spec
tacles and will not a an bipartisan
view, at which a general smile ran about
the room.
Mr.. Campbell made q few spirited re-
marks. The Single Tax contingent We're
in favor of the referendum, and Mr.. Ford
delivered quite an address upon 1t.
Mr.. Cole closed the discussion and took
all the pins from under the feet of those
who were against him.

My dog ounded before me. Suddenly he
checked himself and moved forward
cautiously, as If he scented game. I
glanced down the alley and perceived a
young sparrow with a yellow beak and

beeches in the alley violently, and lay
motionless and helpless on the ground,

The dog approached it softly, when
suddenly an old sparrow, with a black

his voice was hoarse; he was in an
agony; he offered himself.
The dog must have seemed a gigantic
monster to him; but in spite of that he

The killing drought of the past summer
has turned the thoughts OF horticulturists
to the advantages of irrigation, and
among other methods the delivery Of
water below the Observation-Disclosures,

discussion. Prof. Taft. of the Michigan
Agricultural College, writes the FLORISTS

crop in any soil. This lnoun to some
thing like 1,200 barrels an acre, but in
many soils when sub-irrigation is prac-
ticed no more than one-half or one-third
of this amount will be needed. Ordinarily
a good deal less than q gallon to the
square foot will be required once a week
in the driest season. When tiles are pro-
perly laid, that is, laid as nearly level
as possible, water a be given in this
way more easily and evenly thar in

REIBER RESORTS TO A RUsE.
Applies for a Transfer of License
VIII Probably BE Refused.

Gustav Reiber, who for two months
past, has been running the j.. I. G.. Music
Hall on Grove street under a license
granted to Fred Chaplin, has adopted an
old trick to prevent his arrest, and incl
dentally to keep his place open a little
longer. Detective Smith visited Reiber's
place a few days ago and not finding
Chaplin there questioned Reiber about
his license. Smith mex visited Chapln
and that gentleman declared that he
had nothing to do with the music hall,
and he had turned the license in to the
brewery, which is backing Reiber.
Why Reiber was not arrested at that
time is not known. Reiber has now
made application to the Aldermen to
have Chapin's license transferred to
him.
Aldermen Mitchell and Dusenberry of
the Excise Committee, will oppose the
transfer and they will probably be sup
ported by all the Republican Aldermen
who refused to grant Reiber a license
before, because he was not considered a
fit person to have one.

Serious Fire on tho Mallory Steamer.
AlaMo-Sinouidering Cotton.
NEW YORK, Nov. %. lSS4.-The steam
ship Alamo, Of the Mallory Line, which
only arrived from Galveston yesterday
afternoon, was discovered to be on fire
as she lay at Pier 20, East River, at one
o'clock this morning. The Alamo car
ried a full cargo of 5000 bales Of cot
ton and some tobacco and general meE<
chandise. 1t was found necessary to
partially sink the steamer in order to
save her, and two holes were cut in her
and she settled down until her main
deck was level with the dock.
At no time had there been any flame
to be seen and the heavy smouldering of
the cotton in the lower part of the yes
sci led the captain and fire chiefs to be-
ieve that the fire had started before the
vessel left Galveston and ever since had
been eating its way through the argo.
In its progress it is probable that it had
cremated the dead body of a chinaman
which was slowed tween decks. The
body was that of George Thorn and was
consigned to New York on its way to
China to be buried there.
The cause of the fire had been probably
the dropping of a spark from a pipe into
a bale of cotton while the cargo was
being shipped.
In that case it must have been burning
for a week, though 1t was discovered
exactly nine hours after the steamer
had reached her destination.
The police estimate the damage caused
by the fire at 10000, but 1t is certain
to exceed that sum. The whole of the
contents of the after-holds. including
1000 bales of cotton has been seriously
damaged by water, and to raise the
steamer will also be a costly process.
The Alamo Is a first class iron steamer
of 1920 tonnage She was built in 1883
and has been running for years to Gal
weston under command of Captain Lewis.
Once before the Alamo suffered from
a slight fire, but it did not amount to
anything serious.
