GRANTS PASS. Or, Sept. 1O.-A
telephone dispatch from Crescent City
was received here tonight from John
Ross, master of the Maid OF Oregon,
that his vessel was at anchor three
miles off Chetco, about 80 miles north
of Crescent City. with his deckload,
bulwarks and jury-rudder gone. He
was trying to get his vessel into
Chetco, or the mouth of Rogue river,
for safety. Very little information
further than this could be obtained,
and the cause of the disaster could not
be learned.

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
State Convention Meets Today at Will
Transport.

WILLIAMsPoRT. Pa, Sept. 10.-Del-
egates to the Democratic state con-
ventiOn tomorrow, to choose candi-
dates for state treasurer and six
superior court judges are arriving on
every train. The interest centers in
the judicial places on the ticket, and
owing to the fact that there are fully
20 candidates tonight for the places,
the politicians are at sea. The fight
seems to be the country against the
cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
with fair prospects CT the country
winning. The active scramble for
the judicial places is due to the fact
that while the court consists of seven
judges, the Republicans at their recent
convention nominated only six men,
so at least one Democrat is bound to
be elected.

New Record Established.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-The Pa
cific Mail steamer City of Sydney has
established new ocean record in
making the run from Acapulco to this
port in five days 10 hours and SO Sec
onds. This is more than half day
less than the best previously recorded
time. Acapulco is 1885 miles from
this city, so that an average speed of
BIC knots an hour was made.
The City of Sydney was due today
from Panama and way ports, but at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon she was
sighted from Point Lobos, 16 miles
out. Everybody was surprised at the
Intelligence, and none more SO than
the Pacific Mail people, who did not
look for her before tonight.

A Great Battle Has Been Fought There
And the Spanish Defeated.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana, under date of
August 80, says:
There is report about town that
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have
been defeated and the capital captured
by the insurgents. 1t is said that a
strong force of Spanish troops left the
city of Puerto Principe to make bold
attack upon the insurgents who were
besieging the town. The insurgents
fed after making weak resistance,
but it was only to draw the Spanish
into an ambush.
Once in the trap the Spanish were
attacked in front by General Antonio
Maceo, and in the rear by General Co
mez. The rebel forces obtained a
complete victory and entered the capi-
tai triumphant. 1900 strong. How
near the truth this statement is can
not be ascertained, but General Cam
pos immediate departure for Nuevita
the very day he arrived here is sug-
gestive of something very serious
having happened.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Carlisle Says There VIII BE No Necessity
For Another Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA special
from Washington says: Secretary
Carlisle said in an interview:
''Unless there should be another
scare in regard to the gold reserve,
such as we had before, or financial
panic, neither of which things, in my
Judgement, is likely to occur, there
will be no necessity for another bond
issue in October to preserve the re-
serve. The present removal of gold
from this country is not due to any
lack Oh confidence in our national
finances. 1t is simply the result of
trade conditions. Our merchants are
importing immense amounts of goods
from Europe, which indicate that they
expect big business this fall and
winter and our gold goes abroad to
pay for these importations.
''By October our cotton and wheat
crops will come to the market and the
gold reserve in our treasury will go up.
There is, in my judgement, no cause
for alarm in the shortage"

Mrs. Leases Interview Filled With In
vectiyes Against the Ex-senator.
WICHITA, Kan. Sept 12.-Mrs. Mary
E. Lease, the Populist orator, today is
out in an interview filled with invec.
tives directed against ex-senator John
J. Ingalls,, she said:
"Mr. Ingalls, whole career before
the public has been one of deceit and
falsehood. Not only is he a political
fraud, but he has built up his splendid
reputation as an orator by using quo
tations stolen from French and Span
ish writer's. His thefts from Ham
ilton have already been exposed, but
other instances of his literary thefts
have not become generally known.
When Mr.. Ingalls, stood before the
Young Mems Republican League Of
Topeka he broke out in a howery and
eloquent strain. The sentiment was
borrowed from Hugo's translation of
Castillar, the famous Spanish patriot.
Many other beautiful things he said in
that address were borrowed verbatim
from the Spanish writer's and the
French translators. He did the same
thing when addressing the Students
Law Club of the state university last
June. There are other instances of
like character, for Mr.. Ingalls, |
speeches are simply mosaic work,
beautiful mosaic work, true, but not |
his own. He is the most erratic, in
contradictory, pitiful and |
figure in Kansas his
,ory."

and we all want to see lots of it in

the necessity of having every dollar as

BINDING A SHARK.

Tho Remarkable Escape OF = Pearl Diver
from . Fearful Death.
A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such q
man, connected with a large wrecking
company, was visiting the pearl fish
cries in the gulf of California On one
OF his trips in quest Of the pearl oyster
he had narrow escape from a fearful
death. Frank Leslie's Magazine tells
the story. He had been instructed
never to stir from the bottom until he
had looked up and around. Fortunate
ly he needed the advice. Having filled
his bag, he glanced quickly about, and
caught sight of ; huge shovel-nosed
shark watching him. In an emergency
men think fast. Near the diver was q
large rock. He moved quickly to the
other side Of it, hoping to dodge the fe-
rocious monster. But the maneuver
did not work; the shark watched every
movement, changing his position by q
slight motion of his powerful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver con.
ceived the idea Of binding the shark by
stirring up the mud. Under cover Of
that he might escape. He worked for
dear life, and had the water thick with
mud in less than half a minute Slip
ping around the rock again he rose to
the surface, having barely strength
enough to reach the side of the boat
and was hauled on board just as the
voracious man eater made u rush for
him.

Keeping Up in the Fall the Athletic Prac-

Walking clubs are the popular fad
through September and October. One
very exclusive club which was formed
in st. Louis recently consists of eight
members. Athletic girls they are
who have been at the seashore and
mountains all the summer. They
were restless when they reached town
for outdoor exercises, so the club was
Immediately started. 1t meets once a
week on Friday afternoons. The plan
is that each week a different walk
shall be taken. In describing the
walking costumes, the Post-Dispacch
says they were very sensible gowns,
indeed. One was a brown cheviot
made with full plain skirt, trimmed
around the bottom with four rows of
black and gilt braid With this was
worn a waistcoat of scarlet broad
cloth, glistening gilt buttons. and over
it loose three-quarter length jacket.
This was deliberately braided and made
with revers and epaulettes over the
shoulders. At dinner the coat was re-
moved and little Elton jacket of the
cheviot, with scarlet sleeves, substi-
tuted. An extremely novel hopsack-
ing gown was also present. 1t was
black, the skirt trimmed with two
rows of guipure insertion over lining
in the new blue shade. The baby
waist tucked in beneath a belt. 1t
was made with a deep yoke of the in
sertion. which showed very plainly its
silk lining. A jaunty little cape in
black. with wide guipure revers, COM
pleted the costume.

HE GIRL Or STRICT IDEAS.


The extremely wcll-hchavcd young
girl VII" has never been tempted and
who cannot understand how another
could commit folly j. certain to he
come the most ccnsnriuus OF old wom-
en-, says Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in the
New York Press. If She does not Dc.
velop into cruel. mahcious-tonTucd
scandal-monCcr it Will be a wonder.
Nothing is 50 easy as the descent from
Observation-Disclosures to malice. AS q
young girl she prides herself upon her
love of morality and good behavior; all
her friends speak of her as ''such q
strict girl" in her ideas. No one would
think Of appealing to her for sympathy
or advice in an hour of temptation, but
She is respected for her high ideas il
feared for her severity. As an old
woman she is simply held in abhor-
renee, and her name becomes a neigh
borhood synonym for cruel judgment.
Criticism of our frail fellow beings is a
vice which takes possession of us like n
stimulant or drug, once we encourage
it. 1t may begin in our high moral
standard and our hatred of sin, but
once it becomes a habit we indulge in
it for the pleasure it gives us. 1t is a
bad habit in the young; in the old it is
intolerable; for nothing renders old
age interesting or lovable save sympa
thy for the young and charity for the
erring. 1t is strange that we all do
not grow charitable as we grow old; as
we learn more and more of our fraii-
ties and more and more of the tempta-
tions and illusions of life we ought to
become more and more tender and
plying. One can be sympathetic with
out encouraging vice and wrong doing
or cloakinp sin.

He squanders his allowance on ice
cream, soda and caramels, and on rare
occasions invites us to church sociable

group of youths who wait outside the
church or Sunday school door, and he
is the one to escort us to our homes on
such occasions. We are leased I'M

WISHING ON A FALLING STAR.
A Galician Legend Which Gives the Origin
of the Custom.


Here and there in the highways and
byways of the world many legends and
superstitions still linger and continue
to retain their ancient prestige. In
Galicia, the province northeast of Hun
gary, the peasants believe that when q
star falls to earth it is at once trans
formed into a rarely beautiful woman
with long hair, blonde and glittering.
This splendid creature, miraculously
engendered, exercises on all who come
in contact with her q magical in
fluence. Every handsome youth un-
fortunate enough to attract her atten-
ton becomes her victim. Thus having
allured them to her, she encircles them
with her arms in an embrace that be-
comes gradually tighter and tighter
until the poor dupes are strangled to
death. If certain words are muir
INJURED the moment the star starts to
fall they cause her allurements to lose
their power. From this superstition
springs the custom of wishing while a
star is seen hurrying through the air,
a wish said surely to come true if COM
pletely formulated before the light is
extinguished. The Spaniards saw in
the falling stars the souls of their
dead friends, the thread of whose ex-
istence was cut short by destiny. The
Arabs thought these stars to be burn
ing stones thrown by the angels ON to
the heads of devils who attempted to
enter paradise.
