fhe Luck of White Man Who Was Left
on an Island of the South Seas.
BY the death of Joseph Roberts, a
Californian pioneer, Santa Cruz lost a
genuine Robinson Crusoe. for Mr. Rob-
srts had passed through in early man
lood all the thrilling adventures and
exciting life which endcar Defoe's hero
10 the reading boy and girl. Sixty
seven years ago, on st. Valentines
day, Joseph Roberts was born in
Falilirl5. His family for years had
been seafaring people, so that as he
grew up he took to the sea naturally,
and while only fourteen years of age,
while his playmates were still cabin
boys, he was made second mate of
sailing vessel. Before he was fifteen
he made his first long voyage from
home. and followed the sea until he
reached manhood. He visited many
foreign countries and the islands which
dot the ocean, but never landed in the
United States until he sailed through
the Golden Gate in 1851.
There was one of the many stories
of adventure which Mr.. Roberts told
which never grew stale TO young or
old. 1t was the story of the months he
spent on cannibal island in the Pa
cific. Mr.. Roberts was on cruise
among the South Sea islands on an
English merchantmen, and when the
land was sighted he went ashore,
knowing that although the island was
inha bited by cannibals, they were
peaceable. But in his absence the cap
tain ordered the anchor up aud all
sails set, and for eight months he was
left alone among a lot of South Sea
islanders
The natives worshiped him as a
deity, and the king shared his own
palm hut with him. The natives on
that island believe in feeding their god,
so Mr. Roberts lived on the fat of the
island. The daintiest fish, the rarest
game, and the earliest and sweetest
fruits were laid as offerings at his door.
Five dusky girls waited on him, served
him with food, and wove garlands of
flowers with which they crowned him.
Whenever he went to the seashore he
was followed by an admiring horde OF
natives. He was the first man on the
island, the divinity of the natives the
king of their king, Mr.. Roberts used
to say that he liked the alteration of
the South Sea islanders, but as the
months passed he grew homesick and
longed for the sight of white faces.
Civilization seemed very desirable
thing, but he accepted the situation.

ing, he saw ship lying at anchor in
the bay. Pretending to the natives
that he wished to board the vessel to
trade with the sailors they took him
out to her in canoe, and he climbed
up the side OF an American ship, The
captain and crew were more than as
tonished to see white man, and Rob-
erts begged to be accepted as a sailor,
a passenger, or anything, so he could
once more reach civilization. On this
ship he entered the United States for
the first time, for the sailing vessel
vas bound for San Francisco When
the natives lear3eA that their white
god was going TO leave them they put

Here is an entertaining story about
Frenchman who was too proud to do
things which We're against his princi-
pies. The story is vouched for as an
actual fact by the man to whom the in
cident happened. While travelling in
Europe he stopped over night at Caen,
and noting that his hair was unduly
long he went to have it cut by the To-
cal barber He told the barber to take
off very little, but before the scissors
had been at work many seconds he no.
ticed favorite lock fall onto the cal
leo jacket in which he had been ar
rayed Whereupon he reproved the
barber for not following his instruc-
tions, upon which the man observed, in
mingled tones of reproach and dismay:
Monsieur must permit me to do my
work in the way which seems best to
me; and what is more, ! will take off
some more" Not at all" said the
traveller; II tell you want very little
taken off, and must insist upon your
doing as l direct you" The barber,
however, was not to be put down in
this way, and said Monsieur, it is
possible that this is how things may be
done in England, but here in France
we are not slaves | shall cut off as
much as / please. "-Harper's Round

THE HOLMES CASE.

Day. Developments Bring Out Nothing
Sensational.
CHICAGO. July SO.-Three warrants
for the arrest of H. H. Holmes and Pat
rick Qulnlan are now hanging tire.
They are not taken out solely for the
reason that it is the desire Of the com.
plainants &c give the police all the lee
way possible before forcing them to
act as to Quinlan.
Circumstantial evidence is considered
as showing Quinlan to have been as
guilty as Holmes. The warrants in
question will not be held back longer
than day, and when sworn out will
compel the bringing Of Quinlan into
court and his case before a grand jury.
The days developments at the Castle
simply proved that Chappell, the artic'
ulator OF skeletons for Holmes, par
TALLY told the truth Us to the location
of secret tanks. One was uncovered
but not examined. More unimportant
witnesses against Homes and Quinlan
were found, aud mysterious brick
layer, who built a firebox i'll the Castle,
which he thinks might have been used
as a retort for dead bodies, turned ul
and told his story. Chappell is un'
earthing skeletons 1or the police which
he claims came from the castle.

"A SERIOUS CALAMITY"
From the Duluth Herald.

i rom inc Dulutu
The Herald believes that the
virtual consolidation Of the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern systems, b. placing them
under the management of one
man, Mr.. Hill or anybody else,
would be serious calamity to the
people of the Northwest, and to
no portion of the Northwest more
SO than to Duluth. It would de.
stroy the competition which now
exists and which is the means of
keeping down freight rates to a
proper point. The consolidation
of the two roads would result in
higher rates and consequently in:
creased burdens for the people
along their routes. The people of
the Northwest would not be bene-
flied in the slightest degree.

The Horn. Harvey debate has
closed, and the result was not very
important either way. One thing
was made quite plain, and that is
that Harvey is pretty full Of the
Populist TRADES against capital,
public officers and the whole sys.
tenn Of modern civilization. He
raved about the banks, denounced
congress and law makers ascorrupt,
howled about capital enslaving
labor, and declared that farmers
We're drifting into serfdom.
When man really believes that,
it is not surprising that he ad.
vocates system Of finance that
no civilized nation endorses, and
one that no nation would be able
to successfully maintain. During
the last days of the debate he
drifted away from logic and his
tory, aud gave vent to harangues
that would been creditable to
Donnelly or Bloody. Brides Waite.

The Duluth .'bsmetalists who
have ,organised q Gold and Silver
club, have been very prompt Ia de-
nOuncing those who opposed the free
coinage 81 silver independently by
the United States ct is to l, yet
when they organize = club they fall
sto make their position clear to any
one. It's officers and members are
Republicans, Democrats and Popu-
lists, and they have nothing In their
avowed principles that any man
could not indorse. The people OF
this district would like to know at
what ratio the Duluth enthusiasts
desire the free coinage Of silver. In
formation on this point is' not ex-
pected for some time, as that point
has been avoided in all public express
sions. If free coinage at Is to is
favored, the Republican party OF
this district Ia not with them; il Il
ratio nearer the commercial value OF
the metals is favored, then the genu-
inc free silverites are not with them.

Gale Blowing and the Property Lo"s
May He Heavy.
GLADSTONE, Mich, July 30.-Exten.
sive forest fires are raging north
west of this city and considerable ap-
prehension is felt for the 500 Railroad
company's roundhouse and the plant Of
the dashboard company. A strong
gaze Is p1ow1ng from the NORTHWEST
and unless it stops coon or shifts, con-
siderable property will be destroyed,
as much of it lies beyond the reach Of
the city water plant. The fire at pres
ent is in the Goodman addition, north
west of the city. Another fire is rag
ing on the peninsula east Of the city
and is destroying much valuable tim
Der. It is feared that it will reach the
farms, in which case much suffering
will be caused. There has been no
rain for many days and the swamps
and slashings are dry.
