front yesterday fairly swarmed with
home coming sealers and their friends,
a fleet of a half dozen vessels having ar
rived in port within a few hours Big
catches are not reported by any OF the
late arrivals, and the story of the cruise
of each is very similar. To the schooner
Umbrina, Captain Campbell, the honor
belongs of having the largest Copper
Island catch reported thus far, she hav-
ing secured 600 skins. Her total catch Is
1,749 skins, a seasons work which, While
not exceptionally large, Is good for this
year. Her run home was made In IL
days. The Vive, Captain Pike, reports
her catch for the season as 1850 skins,
or 1856 for the Copper island cruise. She
was the first of yesterdays fleet to ar
rive, having come from the islands in
days. The Geneva's luck in the Copper
island and Japan coast Is represented
by 1,607 skins, of which 470 were taken on
the Russian coast. She reached the
cape in IS days from the Copper island
coast A few days out from Victoria she
passed the City of San Diego, which will
probably have arrived by this morning.
In addition to her own catch the Geneva,
Captain O'Leary, brings SS1 skins belong
ing TO the lost schooner Brenda. The
catch of the Cariotta G.. Cox, Captain
Harris, amounts to 1857 skins. She was
the only arrival from Bering sea. On his
way home Captain Harris spoke the
K7-Nerine off Omamlck pass with a Ber-
ing sea catch Of 700 skins. The Katherine
spoke the Triumph and Sapphire on Sep
tember 9, the former with 1.6O0 secured in
the sea and the latter only 200 less. The
Casco, Captain Leblanc, and Mary Tay-
lor, aCptain>Levender, were the others of
the feet to arrive. The former came
home without her mate, Arthur Pennill,
the circumstances Of whose drowning
overheard have already been narrated.
During her cruise the schooner hunted

The American shfpbuiider says AL
though 1t is often asserted in a general
way that an iron or steel ship Is more
profitable to it's owners than a wooden
Ship of the same dimensions it is only
recently that the difference has been
formulated with mathematical accuracy.
1t has been found, however, by the aver
age of large number of cases, in wood
and iron, that the iron ship weighs,
when built q per cent less than the
wooden one, it is known by acual meas
urements, made by insurance companies.
that the weight of the wooden hull Is
about one-third of the displacement, and
that the weight of the cargo IS about
three-fifths, and the rate of hull cargo
is, therefore, about to 8. With these fig
ures it is easy to see that the iron hulI
will have the advantage of carrying ca
pacity of five-ninths of twenty-seven, or
fifteen per cent. That Is to say, an iron
ship will carry 115 tons for every 100 tons
carried by a wooden ship, the two ships
being of identical outside dimensions and
both loaded to the same draught of water
In addition to these manifest advantages,
the iron ship carries her cargo at lower
rate of insurance than her wooden sister,
and wil outlive more than two wooden
ships under similar circumstances

Old Leather Brooches.

Old Leather Brooches was at one time
tho best known guide and trapper in
Pike county, Pa he lived in the woods
not many miles from Milford, the coun-
ty seat. His proper name no one knew,
but on account Of the leather trousers
which he invariably wore he was known
by every one as Old Leather Brooches.
Only occasional visits were made by
the old man to town, and then he came
for tobacco and whisky. One Sunday
morning he walked into town and upon
arriving at his favorite trading place
was surprised to see it closed
Hello" said he, somebody dead,
I guess.
Proceeding leisurely down the main
street, he went to another store, only to
find this closed also. Completely nom
plused, the trapper hailed the first pass
erby with: "Say, who is dead? Must be
some big gun. I guess. Where is the fu-
neral?''
"Why, this is Sunday, old man, " 10
piled the villager.

CHINESE JuccLERs.
some Of the Strange and Startling FeaAs
That They Perform.

That They Perform.
Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the same "stock in
trade" Here is an account Of some
tricks performed by Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta-
tors what they wanted to see, some, one
called for a pumpkin.
"a pumpkin" answered the conjnr-
or; "that is impossible. Pumpkins are
out of seasont'
However, he was only talking, for
presently he took pumpkin seed and
planted it in the earth. Then, having
made his little son, or years old, lie
down, he thrust knife into his throat.
The blood poured out into a vessel, end
with it the man moistened the spot
; where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with a
cloth and placed wooden bell over the
seed. In few moments a sprout was
seen rising from the soil 1t grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, the pumpkin showed itself and in
creased in size with extraordinary ra-
pidity.
As soon as it was ripe the man picked
it from the stalk. showed it to the pub
lie and took up collection, after
which, of course, he lifted the cloth
and found the boy perfectly unframed
The second feat, by different per-
former, was even more startling. A
peach was called for by one of the spec
tators.
"It is March," said the magician.
"The land is still icebound Peaches
are not to be obtained now except in
paradise.
"Oh, WELL, answered the spectators,
,"you are a sorcerer and ought to be
able to bring q peach down from heav-
en-
The conjurer grumbled, but finally
consented to see what he could do. He
began by weaving roll Of ribbon,
which he cast into the air. It took al
once the shape of q ladder, which went
up to tremendous height. On it he
placed child, and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like monkey: Up, up he
went till he vanished in the clouds.
Some moments passed, then peach
dropped from the sky. The magician
picked it up, cut it into slices and Of
fered it to the bystanders It was real
peach.
Then horrible thing happened The
head Of the child dropped out Of the
sky and was followed by the trunk and
then the legs With tears in his eyes the
man picked them up and placed them
in box. But after much show of grief
and after the sympathetic spectators had
taken up collection for his benefit he
opened the box and said, Come forth
my child, and thank these kind gentle
men," At the word out leaped the child
alive and WELL Philadelphia Times.

him the facts that she was going to New

Tailor Made Gowns.

The comfort and utility of the tailor
made gowns has made them part of
any well regulated wardrobe. The skirts
are full and plain, and jacket made with
short, full shirt effect and strapped
seams, are shown in all the swell estab-
lishments. The skirts are apparently
row, stiff facing all around the hem
and in the back breadths. They are just
as much gored as ever and fare in much
the same way as did the summer gowns.
The fit over the hips must need be per-
lection, and the full narrow effect at the
back of the waist is becoming to almost
any and every figure. Some dressmak-
ers, and tailors as well, are turning out
trimmed skirts, but the severely plain
are the most popular as yet.

Work Up Sentiment.

D. w. ZOOk of Dickinson County

Railway Arrested.

WICHITA, Nov 10 --Leavenworth is
now pictured out for a prohibition
crusade. Recently a secret meeting
of prohibitionists was held on Topeka
avenue, near Thirteenth street, at which
it was decided to send a committee of
eight to Leavenworth to work up pro-
hibition sentiment there.
The plan is to distribute themselves
among the various church organizations
aud instil into their minds the doctrine
of prohibition: in other words, to agitate
the enforcement of the law among them.
When they are worked up pretty we'll
they will then be induced to ask for the
appointment of an assistant attorney
general.
The theory of the Wichita prohibit
tionists, as expressed to a reporter, Is as
follows: "We,' said he, must cause war
in Leavenworth before we can succeed
at home. As long as this is the only city
in the state that the enforcement of the
law is attempted in, just SO long the idea
will prevail that the administration has
grudge against Wichita, and the home
people will be against the enforce ment
of the law.
"If this idea could be removed we
would have a great deal stronger senti-
ment in Wichita in favor of enforcing
the law. In order to remove the idea
Leavenworth must be attacked, and if
the governor and attorney general fail 10
make an effort TO enforce the law there
then we will lay down and believe with
the others, that there is a grudge against
