The Elbc Catastrophe.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Will you kindly grant me sufficient space
to offer up few words of defense in he

lips are now sealed forever? / enjoyed the
proud distinction of being ranked among
his friends. whose names We're legion; in
deed, every person that ever came IL con-

to love and admire the man, possessing, as
he did to such a remarkable degree every
sterling quality that should adorn he per-

facts l Indignantly repel those insinuations
which so many of our newspaper critics
in other cities are at present engaging in.

the officers of the Inflated Elbe of COW

evidence already before Us proves that

sinking to the bottom with his vessel. All
honor to his memory and to those under
his command they deserve praise and rot
censure. The circumstance that 80 per cent
of the crew were engulfed IN the icy
waters should elocuently eXonerate them
from unmerited blame, but the loss OF SO
many lives should be properly charged to
the scoundreis who, after committing the
injury, abandoned the laundering Elbe to
the mercy of the waves. Nor can fault be

only on September / of last year, when

terrible storm, our machinery broke down in

a Riot In a Theater.

Serious riot arose in the Edinburgh
theater in connection with the wounded
feelings of the servants. Those were fine
times for footmen. When their masters
attended the theater, they had free ad-
mission to the upper gallery. This was
all very well SO long as the management
did nothing to offend them. But the
Scottish servants of those days had a
keen sense of dignity and would not
submit to be satirized. So when the
farce High Life Below Stair" was an
nounced the footmen Of Edinburgh re-
solved in full committee that they
would not allow such scandalous libel
on themselves to be producee on the
boards.
A letter was written to the manager OF
the theater, in which it was stated that
a band of 70 men had sworn at any cost
to stop the production Of the piece. This
letter was foolishly read aloud on the
stage, and then in spite of the threat it
contained an attempt was made to per
form the farce. Hereupon the upper gal
lery turned rebellious. The noise and
discord were prodigious. The masters
in the body of the house went up to
demonstrate with their contumacious
servants, but the latter would not listen
to the voice of authority. Order was at
last restored, but not before the foot
men had been expelled in body from
the house. There was no free admission
for footmen after this. -Gentleman's

MORNING SMTEM

A runaway yesterday forenoon
made things little lively and scat
tered the boys around the head OF
Main street. Arthur Allen, who
drives the Landman delivery wagon,
was at the school house with his team
and in attempting to remove the seat
to get in some loading, the horse took
fright and suddenly jumping got
away from the driver and ran at a
good rate of speed, overturning the
wagon and humping it along much to
the detriment of the vehicle. In 60
ing through the bridge the horse was
freed from the wagon and he then
ran, as all runaways do, south OF
Winchester's store and into ii. T..
Chase's back yard. Here he was cap
tured and found to have only sustain
ed a few scratches. The wagon was
pretty badly demoralized.
Appropo of this runaway route 1t
may not be amiss to state that ID. L.
gives this as a reason why he doesn't
raise a fam'y-if he had any children
they would surely get run over.

Yankee Made Alaskan Curios.

Ex-State Senator E. G. VOORHEES, Of
Sutter Creek returned, with his family,
from visit to Alaska yesterday on the
City of Pueblo
"There is one thing from which the
ordinary tourist cannot be weaned, :"
said he. "He will buy curios wherever
he goes. That is the way in Alaska. We
hear good deal about the fine carving
done by the native Alaskan. Now, the
fact is, the Alaskan knows mighty little
about carving. The crack carver of Sit
ka came down to San.Francisco, was
told, to learn the art of carving, and
now he turns out barrels of ingenious
contrivances supposed by his customers
to be indigenous to the soil of Alaska
only. On boat which went to Juneau
short time before we arrived, there
were actually 5000 pounds of Alaskan
curios, lnanufa :turea by Americans at
Brockton. Mass SAP Fran 'iscc Chron-
