A new complication has arisen and it
is just possible that there will be no
Santa Fe shops excursion this year.
General Manager j. J. Frey has an
nounced to the managers of the shop end
of the arrangements that he will take
them to st. Joseph and return on special
train for seventy five cents each.
The price the road has charged the
employees on all former occasions of this
kind was fifty cents and they say they
will not pay any more.
There will be meeting of those in
terested at Trades Assembly hall at 2:3O
o'clock to settle the question. A com
promise rate may be agreed on but it is
probable that the shopmen will hold out
for fifty cent rate and If this is not
granted them the excursion will proba-
bly, be declared off.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-In this con-
gress are 3 men 20 years of age and
over, as many more lacking but few
weeks or months of it and twice as
many who are well up in the sixties.
In truth, when one considers the adj
vanced age of senators and the total of
AL congressman (if the senate were full
there would be 444l to say nothing of
the wearing toll, the hurry burly, the
strain and anxiety of political career,
the wonder is not that there are many
deaths, but that there are 50 few. Take
the life insurance tables for men rang
ing from 80 to 20, as nearly all the con-
gressmen do, and then the mertuary list
of all the So congresses, and you will ar
rive at this extraordinary fact-that
there have never once been as many
deaths in a congress as among the same
number of men outside, and very often
the deaths of congressman have been
less than half of the general average.
One need but to look down from the gall
lery upon either house to see the reasons
for this vitality. An expert who was
looking over the house with me few
days ago gave it as his estimate that the
average weight of the members is at least
20 pounds greater that the outside aver
age and their chest measurement from
10 to 30 per cent greater. In short,
speaking from an insurance standpoint,
congressman are the best risks in the
world

THE LIFE SAVING SERVICE.
One Bureau in Which Politicians Are
Not Interested.


Washington, Sept. There is one bu-
reau of the treasury department which
has STEADILY grown in Importance since
its establishment, although but little is
known about it. This is the life saving
service. Modern ingenuity in the con-
sJructon Of surf boats and life cars and
other apparatus for rescuing people from
wrecke vessels has enormously decreased
the loss of life from the laundering of
vessels upon dangerous coasts. Although
the somewhat crude life car of Francis
mas been supplanted by more modern APP
phances, be first led the way in this di-
rectlon, and thousands of persons to-day
owe their lives to his genius.
The first idea of the establishment of a
llie-savlng service was simply to protect
ships at certain dangerous points along
the sea coast, but now these stations are
scattered along the entire seaboard of the
United States, as well as on the great
lakes. A recent order issued by the su-
perlntendent provides for patrolling the
coast at dangerous places during eight
months of the year instead of six. as at
present
The llfe-saving service is one branch of
the government service in which there is
no politics. There is not only a law
against bringing political influence to bear
keepers of stations, but politicians them
selves do not care to bring their influence
TO bear to secure places for incompetent
men, who would be likely at any time to
cause great loss of life. Great care has
to be exercised in the selection of men for
these places. When a vacancy occurs the
superintendent of the district in
which the station is situated
recommends some man, and if he is
satisfactory TO the officials Of treasury de-
partment he is appointed. 1t is for the
keeper of station, one of the crew who
has shown himself to be brave and level
headed is generally selected. The mem
bers of the crew are usually fishermen
who are familiar with managing boats in
the surf, who are used to being caught in
sudden squalls, and who know how to
manage the kind of boats used in the life
saving service A deep water sailor
would be no good for position of this
kind.
Cape Hatteras and the Jersey coast are
generally regarded as the most fruitful in
wrecks, but the coast of Southern Cali
fornia also comes in for pretty good
share as there is no deep water harbor in
which a vessel can put in to avoid a
storm. The number of ships annually
lost upon the great lakes is also large.
Squalls arise so suddenly on these large
bodies of fresh water that the life savers
must always be on the qui vive. 1t is said
| that there are sometimes wors storms on
| these lakes than on the ocean itself
Owing to the policy of members of con
! gress from inland states who have no III
terest in shipping, both the light
! house and nfe-saving services have
been greatly crippled by insufficient
| appropriations. In spite of this fact, how
! ever, they are both doing valuable, a:
well as humane, work in saving lives anC
! property.

What a Monkey Did.
New York Letter in Baltimore Sur


Patterson & Co, hardware dealers,
locked Sancho, pet monkey, in their
counting room Saturday and left him
there over Labor day.
Sancho slept all Saturday night and
spent the Sabbath most decorously. But
on Monday it was altogether different
He had consumed his quota of provisions,
and, probably never having heard of La
Dor day he wondered why his friends did
not unchain him. Sancho had been Sc
cured in the rear of the store, but early
Yesterday he managed to unbuckle the
belt around him and get loose.
He first galed in astonishment at the
crowds of people. Getting tired and per-
haps hungry, he jumped on the book
keepers desk and inspected its contents.
After while he took up each paper and
tore IL deliberately into pieces with evil
dent satisfaction, thus destroying letters,
bills, receipts and memoranda. He next
turned his attention TO the ledger, which
he made havoc of in short order, after
which he assaulted the city directory
Then he approached the safe and tried
the combination. He failed however, to
open IL and went back TO the desk. He
tore what papers were left there into
smithereens and demolished a small bas-
ket in which some OF them had been
placed.
An officer whose attention was drawn
TO the antics of Sancho, remarked philos-
ophically as he walked away, chewing the
end Of a match:
"There is nothing in the code which
would authorize me 10 break into the
store and arrest that monkey. He is not
a burglar"

AL1oIA's NARROW ESCAPE.
II. NJ Flagler's Steam Yacht in Colli-
sion With a Transfer Boat.
rom the New York Herald

From the New GOrk Herald.
The steam yacht Alicia, owned by H. NJ
F'lagler Of the STANDARD Oil Company,
was in collision yesterday morning with
the big twin screw transfer steamer Ex-
press of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford line The yacht escaped with a
badly damaged bow. and the forward
guard of the transfer boat was splintered,
not so badly, however, as to keep her out
of service. Mr.. Flagler was not aboard
the yacht at the time.
The Express and the Alicia were com ing
down the East river at 9 40 o'clock yes
terday morning. When OF Twenty-third
street two ferryboats crossing the river
forced them out of their course. The
yacht and the steamer were running al
most parallel to each other. and in their
efforts to avoid the ferrybo they con-
verged rapidly. In trying to cross the
bow of the ferryboat Warren the Alicia
veered toward the Express and in an
other moment ran into her at full speed
striking her a glancing blow on the bow
The sharp stem of the yacht cut through
the heavy guards of the steamer like a
knife clear 10 the deck, and the force of
the shock threw two of the crew of the
yacht, who were standing forward, into
the water. They were hauled out imme-
diately, and the two vessels then drifted
apart.
The Alicia came TO anchor Immediately,
and when it was found that she had sus-
tanned no damage beyond the smashing
of her bowsprit, the carrying away of all
her headgear, and the denting of some of
her forward plates, she steamed away to
| Tebo's dock for repairs. A few days will
suffice so fit her for service again. Her
damages will not exceed s., 600
The Express, which was loaded with
eighteen heavy freight cars, put back
for repairs TO her dock at One Hundred
and Thirtieth street, where it was found
| that nearly thirty feet of her fore guard
was smashed. In the afternoon she was
running as usual.
The Alicia is steel, schooner rugged
| steamer, 160 feet on the water line, "a feet
beam, and Q feet inches draught. She
| is fitted with triple expansion engines,
and is one of the most luxuriously APP
| pointed vessels of her class afloat. She
was bnilt for Mr.. Flagler by Harlan &
Hollingsworth at Wilmington, Del, in
| 1890.
The accident was in part due TO the
! heavy fog prevailing at the time, and
only the fact that the blow was a
| glancing one saved the yacht from seri-
| Gus disaster

THE VIKING SHIP SUNK.
After Crossing the Atlantic Safely
She Foundered in the Chicago River.
From the New York WorlA.


Chicago, Sept. 5.-After sailing thou
sands of miles over the Atlantic ocean, up
the st. Lawrence river through the lakes
to Chicago without mishap the Viking
ship was sunk in the river during the
storm of Monday night. This famous
vessel was one of the notable exhibits at
the worlds fair.
The Viking ship which was built on
the model of an old Viking rover found
fourteen years ago in the ground deep
under the village of Gogstad, near San
defiord, sailing from Christianie on April
8, 1898. Her commander was the famous
Capt Mangus Anderson, who, with
picked crew, cruised along the coast for
a time and early in May commenced the
trip across the Atlantic, which ended tri-
umphantly.
Capt. Anderson's object, it was given
out, was to show that the Norsemen
might have discovered America while on
some of their venturesome trips in boats
such as the Viking.
When the strange craft reached New
York it remained in North river for some
time and was of popular interest. The
arrest of Capt. Anderson and part of his
crew in Brooklyn on charges of intoxica-
ton after they had attended a reception,
attracted particular attention to the
hardy sailors.
The Viking was n feet long and pulled
sixteen oars to the side. She was built
throughout of solid century-defying oak.

The Plan Worked, But the oUrist Re-

From the Philadelphia Times

From the Philadelphia Times.
A case that has puzzled the physicians
of this community was ended to-day in
singular manner. About a week ago an
old man named Wetherow was attacked
with a violent spell of hiccoughs, which
kept up until the old fellow was convulsed
with Mysteries. Everything that medi-
cine was capable of was done to stop the
affection, but it continued until the doc
tors despaired of saving his life. Weth-
crows mother-in-law had heard of an old
fashioned wav of curing .hiccoughs and
she determined to make use of it. Gun in
nand she managed to creep, without being
detected, under the bed in which Weth-
crow lay, and when she and the old man
were left alone for moment she pulled
the trigger
In her agitation she forgot to aim for
the floor, in which the load might bury
itself in safety, and instead let the dis
charge tear hole through the mattress
on which Wetherow lay The powder
burned the sick mans toes, and in a rage
he sprang from the bed, and, dragging
the womaa from beneath, proceeded to
give her a sound beating. In his anger
| Wetherow forgot all about his hiccoughs,
and when the doctors called expecting to
see dying man he was dining, and they
had only the mOther-in-law's bruises to
look after.

Bodies of Twenty-Three Chippewas
Found in the Flame-Swept Region.
Pokegama, MINI, Sept. IA courier

here and Opstead, small settlement on
the eastern shores of Lac Miles Laos.
They are scattered over ten miles Of cOun-

The Indians left the reservation two
months ago and built a hunting lodge
along one of the forks of the Shardge
creek. Chief Wasotaw was the big chief
of the party, and he persisted with his fol-

CREATES A SENSATION.
Emperor William Shows His Hostility
TO the ARrarians.


Berlin, Sept. 7.-Emperor William
made a sensational speech last
evening at the state banquet which fol-
lowed the military maneuvers about
South Altenberg at which entertainment
the King of Wurtemberg was the princi-
pal guest. The emperor had previously
struck from the list of guests the names
OF Count Won Mirbach and Count Won
Kanitz as well as those of Gems. Klitzuig
and Sanditten, but the names OF the two
latter were subsequently, restored upon
the list
Emperor Williams act plainly marks
his displeasure at the attitude OF the
persons named upon the aRrariah ques-
ton. This is confirmed by the fact that
the emperor decorated Count Won
Doenhoff with the order Of the
Red Eagle. Count Won DOenhott,
II will be remembered, in May last, was
expelled from the conservative union be
cause he voted for the Russo-German
commercial treaty in the reichstag. Soon
afterwards Emperor William showed his
approval of the counts action, and be has
now made his position clearer by honor
