GONE WITH HIS MOTHER.
Fond du Lac BOY Mysteri0usIy
Disappears.


Special to the Globe.
FOND DU LAC, Wis, Dec. 13.-
Benjamin Mason Jr, who disappeared
from here yesterday, has been located
at Muskegon, Mich. The boy is twelve
years of age and was spirited away by
his mother, Mrs. Labelle V. Vincent,
formerly a Miss Chapman, of Austin,
Mimi. On July 2, 1894, after living
with her husband for fourteen years,
the woman secured a divorce from
Benjamin Mason, who at the time was
in Florida On the following day she
was married to L. o. Vincent, of Pent-
water, Mich. Early this year there
was a fight in the courts for the pos
session of the boy, and the father won
the case. Since then the child has
been living with Mason's half-sister.
The courts allowed the child to be
visited once every three months. Last
Tuesday the mother called. Last
night the boy did not come home from
school. 1t was learned that the moth
er had taken the child away. Search
was made for the mother and the
child but they could not be traced,
and no word was received until today,
when a local paper received the fol-
lowing dispatch:
Union Depot, Muskegon, Mich, to
the Commonwealth, Fond du Lac,
Wis.-Mr. Editor: I left Wisconsin of
myself. Am in Michigan, where boys
of twelve can choose for themselves.
Benjamin Mason Jr.
That a boy of his age could not send
| telegram like that is apparent, and
it was probably sent by the mother.
Mr.. Mason is now in Chicago, where
he is building a $4,000 home for his
little son.

Ten Per Cent on Panic Scrip.

CANTON, Dec. 1S.-At the beginning
of the late panic certain manufacturers
here and at Massillon, issued interest
bearing scrip which circulated as cur
rency among local operatives and
trades people. Secret agents of the
United States treasury are now here
working up these cases, with a view to
assessing the 10 per cent tax on issues
of notes by others than national banks.

sUpERsTITIOUs DAVIS.
June 16 Is His Birthday and Also
Convention Day.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Sun says:
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, has
reached the superstitious stage of his
presidential boom. His literary bureau
has been in active working order for
some time past, and it was not until
the Republican national committee
fixed the date of the next convention
that Davis received his first ominous
visitation. 1t turns out that he was
born on June 16, and as the Repub-
lican convention is called to meet on
that date, he firmly believes that the
omen is good one for him In
good-natured way he has told some of
his friends that the fact of the calling
of the convention to met on his birth
day is an indication to his advantage.
Among Republican senators generally
the presidential aspirations of Davis
are not considered seriously, but there
is a large sentiment in his favor for
the vice presidency, if the head of the
Republican ticket should be an East
ern man."

DULUTH, Dec. 13-Late yesterday
afternoon the tug Grayling, of seven
teen tons burden, five less than the
ill-fated Pearl B. Campbell, arrived in
port after eighteen days on the jour-

did not share the same fate as the In

Coffee Raising in Iowa.

SIOUX CITY, To-, Dec. 13.-Consider-
able interest has been created in Mar
ion county by the experiment Of Jacob
Bruce, a farmer north of Knoxville, at
coffee raising on a. small scale. In the
spring of 1894, Bruce planted seven
grains Of fine Rio coffee, and in the fall
harvested half a gallon of an excellent
quality. Most of this he replanted this
spring in a fifteen rod plot of ground.
and this fall has eight bushels of coffee,
or an average of eighty-five bushels
per acre. He is satisfied that the crop
is sure one in his locality, and thinks
it can be grown on large scale and at
an excellent profit.

RAISE FUNDS FOR A CHURCH.
South Dakota Cowboys to Exhibit
Themselves as BulIfighters.

DEADWOoD, S. D., Dec. 19.-To
raise funds with which to build Meth
odist chapel for the worshipers of lie
bach, Nowlin and Sterling counties, in
South Dakota, the cowboys in that re-
gion will take part in a bull fight on a
date to be fixed in the coming month.
A number of steers have already been
selected to play the star roles. The
animals will not be tortured, it hay
ing been arranged that the fighters
shall be armed only with their quirts,
and firearms will be used only in case
of absolute necessity. AS the men will
be mounted, it is unlikely that any
such occasion will arise, and the steers
will probably enjoy the performance
quite as much as the cowboys. When

WINTER GALES.
Hard Weather for Vessels On the
Atlantic

Atlantic.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ID The
greatest uneasiness is felt concerning
a number of vessels which are thought
to be close to the coast, as they will
not be able to work off shore in the
teeth of the gale that has prevailed
for the past two days. The three
masted schooner Varuna, Capt. st.
Oliver, from Darien Nov. %, for Phila-
delphia, with a crew of seven men and
100000 feet of lumber, is among those
for which there is anxiety. She was
last seen off Lookout on Dec. 8. The
Delaware breakwater harbor is filled
with tugs and other small craft which
are unable to venture out in such a gale
and heavy sea. The three-masted
schooner Nellie Lamper, Capt. Nc
Lean, from st. John, was iced up be-
yond recognition. Her whole rigging
was thickly coated and the decks were
a sheet of ice fore and aft. At Bor-
dentown, N. J., the Delaware river
is frozen from shure to shore.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-An the ocean
liners which have arrived during the
last few days have reported very heavy
weather at sea, and when the big Gu
harder Campania reaches port from
Liverpool she will doubtless have a
tale OF terrific gales and high head seas.
If the Campania on this trip had
equaled her westward record the
Sandy Hook light ship would have
been abeam at 3:11 p. m. Up to mid
night tonight she had not been sighted
at Fire island. The new American
liner st. Paul, which knocked more
thaA eight hours off her own time on
her last voyage to Southampton, would
have been signaled off the light ship
at midnight had she kept up her pace
on her present trip.

GOOD NEWS FOR CUBANS.

stating that the twenty-one Cubans on
trial in Nassau, on the charge of con,
Quoting fillibustering expedition from
this country, were acquitted yesterday
after a trial lasting only ten minutes.
This is the same party arrested at Will

Labor in indorsing the Cuban cause,
and reports of Gen. Gomez's successes
made the day a notable one in Cuban

States, will join Mr.. Quesada here next
month. They will establish a legation
