LEAKING AND DlsMAsTED.
The Schooner Mary E. Amsden of Calais,
Me-. Abandoned by Her Crew, tho Arrive
at New York.

The schooner Mary E.Amsden of Cal
ais. Me-, was abandoned, leaking and
dismasted, in latitude IS, long, 55:10,
and her crew were brought to New
York, Monday by the steamer Suevia.
The schooner wassbound from Calais for
Barbados, with cargo of lumber. She
left Calais on February 3, and the next
day ENCOUNTERED a fresh northwest gale,
| which blew with steadily increasing
| force until the Sth, when full hurri-
cane was encountered, accompanied by
| tremendous seas and snow. The waves
broke continually over the vessel and
washed everything movable off the
decks Finally she spraug aleak and the
pumps were manned, but apparently the
amount of water in the hold did not
diminish. On February 16, in a furious
| squali, both masts were carried away
and went overheard. For eleven days
| the crew had to subsist on hardtack and
water, as she other stores were ruined,
and soon the supply of water ran short.
On the 9th, in lat. 35:23, long. 54.52,
the Suevia, from Genoa for New York,
hove in sight and stood by for nine
hours, until the weather moderated
somewhat, when boat was lowered
and sent to the rescue. The names OF
the distressed seamen are Captain sP.J.
War;, First Mate William M. Clinton,
Second Mate Robert Kinds, Henry Shaw
(eook), and seamen Ole Olsen, Harry
johnson, Harry Jensen and Harry OIL
sen.
The Mary E.Amsden was of 1896 tons
register, and was built in 1865 at Ports
mouth, n. H. !.

CHINESE HOSPITALITY.
The Scholars at the Second Parish Enter
tain Their Teachers and Guests of the
Parisl,--A Chinese Orchestra and Chi
nese Nuts.

| At the yestry of the Second PaI ish church
asst Monday evening there was very in
teresting occasion. 1t was supper ana
! entertainment rendered by the members of
| the Chinese school to their teachers and in
vited guests of the parish. 1t is an annual
affair and is in response to supper
| rendered the Chinese pupils by their young
| lady teachers.
| About seventy people were present. One
who was there says that as she entered the
vestry here was an almost deafening up
roar. An orc hestra made up OF the Chinese
boys was in full blast. one boy was blowing
| A curious sort of horn. that made, one high
screeching note like Scottish pibroeh
Another was changing enormous eymbals
another beating drum and others twang-
ing instruments similar to guitar or
mandolin.
There was no resulting harmony or
melody; at leafs TO American ears. But for
all that it was certainly very interesting
and entertaining-for once.
After the concert the company sat down
to supper. The twenty Chinese pupils sat
at one table with their twenty young lady
teachers and the invited guests, including
the pastor of the church. Rev. Mr.. Hack
and wife. Rev. A. R. Wright and wife.
United states Inspector of Chinese John
Fin ley, the deacons Of the church. and
other officers and the Sunday school
officers.
The supper WAS furnished by caterer.
and was quite an elaborate affair, the ex-
penses being OF. course all sustained by ihe
Chinese. e
After supper each of the guests was pre-
sented with paper bag containing about
pint of Chinese nuts. They are as queer
and outIandish as the Chinese themselves.
They are round and about an inch in
diameter. and very similar to large oak
gall, though the outside is rather prettily
roughened by small regular projections.
You shake one and something rattles about
inside The shell is thin and frail. Inside,
occupying about one-third OF the space is
something that looks like a large wet raisin.
1t smells like it too. but has also pleasant
aromatic fragranoe- 1t doesn't taste so
well as it smel1s.s The sweet. thick pulp
clings about a smooth hard stene,a like "a
date stone.
These nuts are of course in dried con-
dition. When freshly pIucked from the tree
they must be filed with assoft juicy pulp.

Quiet in the Coasting Trade,

The harbor was nearly empty yesterday
and in fact very few vessels have arrived
or cleared during the past month. Capt. j.
P. Tenney, agent of the Central Wharf Tow
boat company, says that he has not seen ii
so dull for years. The unusual storm in
February blew great many of the large
schooners far out to sea, delaying them for
weeks and necessitating repairs and dis
arranging trips. Also there is this year
very little ice business. because of the cold
weather on the Hudson.

Redwood county during the last seven

ALLYN A SLEUTH
Was Chasing U. S. Grant and Got
Into Trouble.

An echo of the Grant escape from
the Brown county Jail, just after hi
had been sentenced to seven years II
the Saltwater penitentiary, came uT
| in a police court case at Mankato last
Thursday, when Geo. w. Allyn was
arrested on charge of bastardy. The
case was eventually continued to May
9Th. The story as given to Free
Press reporter is as follows:
Geo. w. Allyn, a prominent mer-
chant of Madison Lake, was brought
to the city this afternoon on the
charge of bastardy, preferred by Gym
thia Ritchey, young girl who lives
near Waterville. The Ritchey girl
expects to become a mother before
long, and accuses MIR. Allyn as being
the father of the prospective child.
She was on the witnes stand for some
time Thursday afternoon.
"Mr. Allyn denies the charge, says
that he does not know the girl, and
that the latter recently declared that
she did not know him. He has an
excellent reputation and his many
friends laugh at the charge. He has
q family at Madison Lake. Mr.. Allyn
states that the prosecution is black
mailing scheme to force him to cease
his efforts to secure the rearrest of
q. S. Grant, who last winter escaped
from the Jail at New Ulm. Grant and
Joseph Sorg, who is in Jail in this
city awaiting the action of the grand
jury OF the charge of disposing of
mortgaged property, are brothers-in-
law. Mr.. Allyn had Sorg arrested, as
he held the mortgage. Sorg is
brother-in-law to the Ritchey girl,
and he claims that this tells the
story, the girl seeking to lay some
body else's crime on himself. He
saws that he has no fear of the out
come. He first heard of the charge
while at Charles City, Iowa, chasing
after Sorg, who, he says eloped with
this girl last February, leaving his
family at Madison Lake.
"Allyn says that this case is brought
to make him stop his efforts to find
Grant"
Just what interest Allyn has in find
ing Grant is still a mystery. Inquir-
les here fail to show that he has been
employed as detective in the case.

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS.
Something Called Bright's Disease
DIR. Hartman'S Latest
Lecture.

In the course of recent lecture at
the Surgical Hotel DR.. Hartman said:
"Catarrh of the Kidneys is very
common disease, growing more and
more common each year. The symp-
toms are pain in the back; scanty,
high-colored urine containing alubmen
and various sediments; nausea, and
sometimes vomiting; pufiness of the
face and feet; dropsy of the legs;
shortness of breath and general weak
ness; pallor and dryness of tbs skin !;
chilly feelings; alternating with fever
and sleeplessness.
"a good tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na
should be taken before each meal,
between meals and at bedtime, and
enough Man-a-lin at night to produce
one natural action of the bowels each
day. When the disease is of long-stand-
ing heated Pe-ru-na should be applied
to the back in addition to the above
treatment, and the diet consist prin-
cipally of milk and dry toast.
Avoid liquors and tobacco"

COAL AND GOLD.
What Banker Turre1l Says of Red
wood Falls Resources.

Mankato Free Press: Hon. O. B
Turrell, cashier of the Citizens banl
of Redwood Falls, is in the city TO-
the purpose of defending his bank il
a suit which Justin F. Jones has
brough} against it to recover 5000
which he claims to have deposited
there and received no credit for. A
Free Press reporter asked Mr.. Turrel
whether the people of Redwood coun'
ty are still discovering mineral as
fast as they were year or two ago
and he replied:
1--WE claim to have a good many
mineral resources, but are now watch
ing anxiously to see how our gold
mine develops. A shaft has been sunk
eighty feet in the solid granite, and
much money has been expended, which
would indicate that the miners have
confidence that they will find gold in
paying qudutlCtoo.
"Our coal mines are being worked,
and we burn the coal the year around.
1t is Ignite, and burns we'll. This
talk of the state geologist that there
is no extensive coal and gold deposits
along the Minnesota river cannot be
depended upon any more than when
he said that there was no iron ore in
the northern part of the state. Soon
after he said that, the Messabi range
was opened up. We hope that he is
mistaken now as badly as he was
then"
Mr.. Turrell has served in several
Minnesota legislatures, and favored
appropriations for the Mankato Nor
NAL school. After taking walk
through the school yesterday, he said:
II visited the school in 1886 and again
in 1898 as member of Normal school
committees, and I know how crowed
the school was. l want to say now
that person would not know that it
was the same building. 1 am
astonished that so much was done
with the money appropriated. I asked
how much of deficiency there was in
the building fund, and was surprised
to hear there was none."

will suggest themselves to the think
ing farmer. Even strip of pillow land,
made perfectly level with disk-har-
row and thoroughly ruled by a heavy
roller and made dusty will do wonders.
All these methods have two ends in
view: to stop the progress of the bugs
and to collect them in large numbers
in limited space, so that they may
be killed. This latter can be done in
various ways. If bitches are used, a
little straw scattered in the bottom
will soon be crowded with bugs; in
fact, piles of straw seem to confuse
the travelling bugs and retain them
for some time. The straw can be
burned by adding a little kerosene oil.
Or, by means of a post-hole augur
holes can be made every ten or fifteen
feet, into which the bugs will collect
or into which they may be swept.
By closing such holes when filed with
bugs and making other holes, or by
killing the bugs in the holes by kero-
sene oil and cleaning them afterwards
with the augur, the bulk of the army
can be captured and disposed of. As
the bugs will not cross coal tar, the
edges of burrows or bitches towards
the fields to be protected should be
covered with this material, and none
of the insects could leave the trap.
This coal tar can also be used even
without ditch or furrow, but will not
be so effective; yet in certain and ex-
treme cases it may be the only method
that can be used in time. By pour
ing broad line of this material upon
the neutral zone between the fields,
and by keeping its surface fresh, the
bugs will gather in front and can be
trapped in holes made for this pur-
pose. If all such measures have been
neglected, or if the bugs already
reached the outer few rows of the
corn, the plants in them should be
cut down in such a way that they
form more or less continuous piles up
on the ground. The bugs, being starv-
ing, will not leave these stalks for
some time, but will continue to find
their sustenance upon them. This,
for quite while, prevents their NOV
ing to the next rows of corn. The
bugs can be killed in very large num-
bers by burning dry straw between
the piles of corn cut down. A little
kerosene oil, or any other substance
that burns we'll and makes a dense
smoke, will make very pleasing adj
dition to the entertainment. Know
ing the principle to be applied, every
thinking farmer ought to know how
to apply it to the best advantage up
on his own fields. The very fact that
the bugs are retarded for long time
upon the heated surface or the ground
is sufficient to kill a large number.
The same principle explained above,
but in another form, was applied by
the writer six years ago upon the fields
of the Experiment Station, and with
such marked success that the corn to
be protected did not suffer in the
least from the chinch-bugs, though
they almost surrounded the cornfelds
in immense numbers. The descrip-
ton of this particular case will be
