4 Ghost Story.

Here Is ghost story-one of large
class and therefore more likely to be
ver&ciOUs, especially as it first saw the
light IL 4 London paper. 1t has an ap-
pearance of strict and even marrow
truthfulness. There was a certain Cap

known, on active service in America.
Five or six of his brother officers, he be-

We're dining together. The door was
opened, and Captain Blomberg ap-
peared, to everybody's surprise With
out speaking, he walked in and sat
down i'll vacant chair. They all asked
him how he came there.
To their questions he made no reply
Then one Of them said, "Blomberg, are
you mad:''
On this he rose and replied, "When
you go back to London, take my son to
the queen and beg her TO be his protect

This said, he walked out of the room
as he had come in. \ few days after

POISON FROM PEACH TREES.
The Prussic Acid In the Leaves Killed =
Flock of Sheep.


Flock of sheep.
Taking a drink Of this cherry sirup,'
said a doctor as he quenched his thirst
at a soda water fountain, reminds me
of a catastrophe we had out on our farm
| one summer. You think it strange that
a drink Of soda water should bring q
farm incident into my mind. Well, it
is peculiar, but every time taste amyg-
dalic acid, and this cherry is filled with
It, call to mind an incident which cost
my father quite a sum of money. My
father was a great sheepgrower and
took pride in the high grade Of stock he
raised. He also had a great deal of the
farm planted with peach trees, TO which
he devoted much Of his time.
lone summer when was boy some
thing went wrong with the trees, neces-
stating the cutting off of many of the
branches. The branches We're strewn
all over the grass OF the peach grove
where the sheep were wont to rest in the
shade. a short time after this my ia
Their lost nearly all his sheep within
day by what seemed to be the result of
some poison. He could account for the
wholesale slaughter of all the sheep dying
with similar symptoms in no way ex-
cept it was the work of some enemy. 1
concluded to find out what caused the
sheep to die.
1T was my first work in diagnosing,
and it became so interesting to me that
1t influenced me in choosing my profess
sion later. | worked hard TO find if the
sheep had eaten anything in the shape of
poisonous weed, but failed to trace it to
this cause. 1t suddenly came into my
mind that the sheep that had been penned
in another part of the farm and had not
been in the peach grove were the only
ones that had escaped. So l concluded
that the poison must be IN the peach or
chard. | noted the branches of the
peach trees which had been cut still ly-
ing upon the ground, and something told
me that these branches held the secret.
1 called on a physician to get some III
formation about drugs, for as a boy /
knew nothing III the way of deadly things
except the 'pizen vine and other reputed
nOXiOus plants.
Il asked him if the peach branches
could have poisoned the sheep. Why,
certainly he replied They could poi
son with the deadliest poison known.
When Il branch of peach tree is fresh,
the leaves contain what we call amyg-
dalic acid, which of itself is not the best
thing to take into the system. But let
that branch lie in the hot sun, and the
chemical action of the heat upon this
comparatively harmless amygdalic acid
transforms it into the most deadly poi
son known as hydrocyanic or prussic
acid, so, my young friend, you have
struck the cause of the death of your
fathers sheep. They have died of by
drocyanic acid poisoning From that
time on I became interested in medi-
cines until 1 graduated a full fedged
doctor. L often look back upon the lit
tie incident which had a great influence
in shaping my career. Now, you don't
think the connection between a glass of
cherry soda water and the killing of a
lot of sheep so strained after all. Pitts

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD, Aug. 20. 10 PM.
Weather hay; wind. light north
east.
The bark Albert will leave for
San Francisco today.
The bark Velocity has been
locked and will commence dis
charging today.
Several sailors belonging to the
Amy Turner have deserted. The
vessel will soon leave for the
Orient.
The steamers leaving today are
The W. G.. Hall for Maui and Ha-
waii at 10 a. M, the Claudine for
Maui, the Mokolii for Molokai and
the Mikahala for Kauai, all at. 5
O'clock.
a fire broke out in the hold of
the steamer Gaelic, while she was
lying at the Mail dock in San
Francisco recently. The fire,
which was extinguished by the
crew, broke out in heap of mats
and dunnage slowed in the hold,
and did little damage.
A recent dispatch to the Mer-
chants Exchange at San Fran
cisco, from Waneta, B. c., says
that the steamer Columbia, the
property of the Columbia and Koo-
tenai Navigation Company, was
burned and totally destroyed near
there recently. No lives were lost.
The loss will reach $4,000.
On the last trip of the steamer
Gaelic to San Francisco, she had
only one Chinese passenger to land,
and the officers accounted for the
phenomenal absence of the Mon
golians by the fact that the Chinese
Government would not allow any
of their able-bodied men to leave
the country pending the result Of
the war with Japan.
d. L. Jones, first mate of the
British ship Dichmont, who was in
irons FOR sixty days on the trip to
San Francisco, has filed charges
against Captain Sauter with the
British Consul. Sauter attempted
to compromise with the mate, but
Jones would not listen TO it. He
believes that he has been unjustly
treated and asks for an inquiry.
William Holland, a well-known
waterfront character, is dying at
the City and County Hospital, says
the San Francisco Examiner. He
became notorious by putting the
body of a dead man in the old bark
California in place Of one of the
crew who could not be found.
When the bark returned an entry
in the log read: james O'Brien
died of alcoholism on the first day
out from port. Body buried at
sea"
When the Alameda arrived at
San Francisco last Captain Morse
was seen by an Examiner reporter
and this is the result: THE rebel
lion in Samoa is settled, and Cap
tain Morse of the steamer describes
the situation there in a few words.
He says there is no war there.
The natives are just lying round
and doing nothing. These war ru-
mors and attempts at rebellion are
only started to keep man-of-war
around the islands so that a little
ready money can be secured from
the sailors who get shore leave, so
that the salaries of the King and
his Councillors can be paid.

Reynoldsville, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE

the Dubois, Reynoldsville and Punk

forebOdings. On Nov. IS, the Berwynd
White Coal Company, the Bell Lewis
and Yates Coal Company, and the
Frank Williams Coal Company, first
issued notice of reduction of per
cent in wages. Then the Paramount
and Northwestern coal companies,
near New Bethlehem, followed with
similar reduction, taking effect on
December l. The men continued at
work under protest until Saturday,
When a notice signed by the United
Mine Workers was posted at number
of tipples calling the men to resist
the reduction, and to demand the 5
per cent on Jan. l. The situation is
now felt to be one which may result in
a general strike about that time. This
strike would effect from 10000 to ~, 900
miners in the Reynoldsville, Dubois

The railroads of this country are

nevertheless, they are strongly turn

labor organizations were all opposed to

OF it. They see the railroad bin
