gRAMPS OF THE OCEAN.
Queer Old Boats That Sail Aim
lessly About.
Interesting Facts About n Glass OF ves-
sells That Are Unpopular at Sea-
They Arc the Terrors OF All
Small Craft.

The ocean has it's tramps as well as
the land. The ocean tramp is, how
ever, of very different character from
the tramp with whom we are familiar.
Although, like it's namesale of the
land, it has no fixed place of abode, but
travels about anywhere, it depends for
livelihood upon it's own work, instead
of upon the contributions of others.
The ocean tramp is steamship, says
Golden Days. They are SO called from
their willingness to go anywhere, and
take hand in any trade that promises
them profit. Scores of them may be
seen at any shipping port, such as New
York, Philadelphia, Liverpool, London
or Boston. Some of them are large,
some small, some clean, some dirty,
some ugly and some neat and trim.
They vary greatly i'll appearance.
AS rule, however, these tramps OF
the ocean are wornout hull1s, discarded
by the companies who own them. Be-
longing to no regular line or any trade
i'll particular, they are sent out to pick
up cargo wherever they are able to
do so.
Many of them are utterly unsea-
worthy, and sometimes the boilers are
on the point of explosion, and the ma
chinery in bad repair. Often the power
is inadequate to propel the ship against
great stress of weather, the steering
gear is apt to jam at some critical mo-
ment, their hull in the last stages of
decay and, in fact, nearly everything
is the matter with them that could be
the matter with a ship.
Yet, in spite of all these discomforts
and dangers, SO long as the vessel
holds together and the craft safely
travels from one port to another, no
one complains except the crew, whose
arrangements are often such that they
cannot leave the ship.
To prevent desertionrcare is taken to
ship only married men before the mast,
and these men are given half pay in ad-
vance for their families, on condition of
giving bond against desertion.
A more uncomfortable and in every
way disagreeable life than that aboard
an ocean tramp cannot well be
imagined. The crews are made up of
mixed races, and their wages vary &C

IN SELF-DEFENSE.
An Omaha Woman Fills Her Persecutor
with Lead,


OMAHA, Neb., June 11.-Early Sun
day evening a tragedy occurred in the
home of wealthy citizen in the most
fashionable quarter of the city. To
protect her honor, if not her life, Mrs.
James Ish, of SAT South Twenty-ninth
street, shot at and instantly killed a
young man named Chappell, one of the
agents for the Singer Manufacturing
company in this city.
About month ago Mrs. Ish bought a
sewing machine from this agent, but it
did not work well and she found it
necessary to call him number of times
to put it in order Three or four days
ago, while on one of these errands he
grossly insulted her, but she did
not tell her husband, through fear, she
says. Saturday Chappell was called
again, but did not come until Sunday
evening. When Mrs. Ish saw him
coming she called to her husband,
who was in his mothers yard, a
few doors away and Chappell and
Ish entered the house together.
Chappell, after some conversation,
went into the front bedroom, where
the machine was, and Ish went down
cellar after some kindling. When in
the room with Mrs. Ish, Chappell again
became insulting in his manner, and
on taking hold of Mrs. Ish she began
to fight him, at the same time calling
for help.
Immediately Chappell drew from his
hip pocket revolver, but Mrs 1sh
snatched it from him and fred every
chamber at him. just at this mo-
ment Ish, who had heard his wife S
cries, came running into the room, hav-
ing first secured his own revolver, and
his wife snatched this from his hand
and fred four more shots at her assail-
ant. He fell to the floor shot in four
places-in the neck and directly over
the heart-and died instantly. Mr.. Ish
then ran to Clark's drug store near
by and notified the police and coroner.
The body was taken to the morgue and
Mrs. Ish placed in custody. She was
formerly Miss Mabel Ruger, of FIRE.

three years.

WHITNEY ON SILVER.
The Ex-Secretary Thinks 1T Is Liable tG
Split Both the Old Parties.

Boston, June 11.-Hon. William C..
Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy,
who recently returned from Egypt,
is making brief visit to his
mother and brother in Brookline, Mass.
Sunday he granted an extended
interview in which he discussed the
silver issue, the presidency and the adj
ministration. In answer to a question
as to his presidential aspirations he
said, quite emphatically: Il am not
and will not be a presidential candi-
date" He added:
1.-The money question will undoubtedly be
the issue in the next campaign, and unless
some hard educational work is put in before
the next campaign it will prove serious mat
ter for the democratic party and the repub-
lican party too, for that matter. If the silver
men should carry the next democratic conven-
ton it would split the party. The democrats
must stand for sound money.
I'VE had the same experience in another
forE1 after the panic of 1873 when greenbacks
were regarded as panacea for all the evils in
the country, but the good sense OF the people
asserted itself and we have not heard much OF
greenbackism since. 1 think Hayes election
was due to the fact that he regarded as a
hard-money man at that time I believe the
people will eventually treat this question as
they did the greenback question, for they
want sound money now just as mucn as they
did then"
He did not believe the republicans
would care to open up the tariff ques-
ton again, and expressed the opinion
that the money question would dom
mate everything in the next conven-
ton and campaign. Mr.. Whitney, in
speaking of presidential possibilities,
said that the indications seemed to point
to Harrison as the republican candi-
date, but would say no more as to
democratic candidate than that the
party had plenty of men to choose
from in the country who were for
''sound money" The impression con-
veyed in his conversation was that
Cleveland would not look for third
term and that some western man would
be preferred as leader.

There is no hope of picking up or

the great depth of water. However,
few may come ashore. The inhab-

PHILADELPHIA, June 8. = National
Chairman William S. Harrity has writ
ten the following open letter in an
swer to queries put to him regarding
the possibility of democratic national
convention in the near future to take
action on the subject of silver:
PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 1861 do not ex-
pect or intend to call meeting of the demo-
cratic national committee until next winter.
when it will meet for the purpose of fix
ing the time and place for holding the demo-
cratic national convention of 1885, until I shall
be requested to do so by the requisite
number of the members of the democratic
committee. lido not believe there is any ne
cessity for a convention at this time; on the
contrary, am of the opinion that to call one
would be harmful to the business interests Of
the country and preiudicial to the welfare Of
the democratic party.

No man ever visited America who
has performed such extraordinary cures
as has FARO the great foreign healer.
He was long connected with Count
Maetti, who set the whole of Europe in
a furore. He performed many remark
able cures by certain secret prepare
tions, which raised the jealousy and
enmity of the medical profession be-
cause they could not understand how he
performed such cures; but he went on
healing the sick until now he is looked
upon as a power upon earth. It is the
same with FARO since he arrived in
America While associated with Count
Maetti he learned many secret yet sim
pie means of curing acute and chronic
diseases not known to physicians.
FARO will give $1,000 to any physician
who will produce q medicine which will
perform more remarkable cures than he
does, and until this is done he will hold
out as the greatest healing power on
this side of the Atlantic.
