In the lake where the canal widens, Just
beyond the bend there were fifty barges,

the flags were dipped together with won

The Marblehead reached Holtenau at

was given a tremendous reception when
she was in the lock. On leaving the lock
she fired a salute. She then went to her

At IL 80 p NJ. the HohenzoIlern was in

HIS MOTHER AS CAMILLE.

Ex-Speaker Crisp's Boyhood Recollec-
tiOns of the Stage III America.
Ex-Speaker Crisps family was of the
stage. And, indeed, it was this profess
sion of the theaters by his parents which
furnished Sheffield, England, to the ex-
Speaker as a birthplace. Both Crisp's
father and mother were Americans born
and bred. And it was while his father was
fulfilling an English engagement that
the leader of the Georgian Democracy was
born. Not only were Crisp's father and
mother stage folk, but his brothers as well.
One of his brothers persisted at the burn
ing Brooklyn Theater many years ago.
He was playing at that theater at the time.

while a smile settled about the corners of
his kind friendly eyes, ''while | would not

Camille that ever lived, I must say that
the impression which still dwells with me

stone building erected in Ventura County
and from this the college took its name.
Three. students sleeping on the veranda
of one of the cottages were awakened by
the flames and succeeded in arousing the
inmates and assisting all to escape.
The loss is estimated at from $l6,00O 70
$4,000, but the value of certain literary
and historical material cannot be estl-
mated in coin.
The school was conducted by Rev. VIII

HEROINE OF Los GATOS,
Remarkable Display of Self
Possession Shown by
Maud Johns.
By Her Prompt Action and Presence
of Mind She Avoids
Horrible Death.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 20.-Mrs. Maud
Johns of Los Gatos met with painful
accident last evening at that place, the
consequences of which might have been
serious but for the courage and presence of
mind of the lady.
A large parlor lamp, which she was
carrying, became tilted and the oil over
flowed the wick and caught fire. The
blazing fluid dropped on the carpet and
Mrs. Johns dress of a thin material was
instantly ignited.
With rare presence of mind Mrs. Johns
set the lamp down carefully, although her
hand was severely burned, and hastily
closing the doors to shut off any possible
draft, she jumped into bed. Then rolling
herself in the blankets, she smothered the
flames on her garments. This accom-
plished, she extinguished the still blazing
lamp, and having thus averted the danger
of explosion, completed her work of put
ting out the fire on the carpet.
Then, according to all precedents, Mrs
Johns should have proceeded to faint, but
instead she enveloped her burned hand in
-four and sweet oil and sent for physi
clan. DR.. Walker responded, dressed the
burns, which, though painful and some.
what extensive, are not serious.
This is not Mrs. Johns first experience
in fighting fire, as short time since a
gasoline stove in the house caught fire and
she carried it outdoors with the same cool
ness thai saved her life last night.
Mrs. Johns will be remembered by news
paper readers as the heroine Of high
bridge adventure some time since when il
was necessary for her to drop between the
rails to avoid being run over by train
that Unexpectedly showed up on the rail
road bridge at the time that she was cross
ing. She had two cars and an engine pass
over her before the train could be stopped
and her rescue effected.

STRANDED At SEATTLE,
Sailors Make Serious Charges
of Cruelty Against a
Captain.
Forced to Leave Their Vessel With
out Receiving the Money
Due Them.

SATTLE, WASH, June 20.--One of the
sailors of the barkentlne Retriever, San
Francisco to Port Hadlock, makes serious
charges of mistreatment of himself and
some of his shipmates by Captain Began
OF the vessel who, he says, made them
victims of a fraud in signing them, and on
their arrival at Port Hadlock driving them
from the vessel without a settlement OF
their claims.
This sailor says he told Captain Began
when he shipped that he knew nothing OF
the sea, but the captain told him it made
no difference, and instructed him to sign
the roll with the commissioner. Began
also promised the man SIS per month and
some necessary clothing.
The sailor says he signed the roll, then
went aboard the barkentine, was imme-
diately put under guard, no clothing being
given him. and was compelled to sleep on
bare boards infested with vermin. The
five days the vessel lay at anchor in San
Francisco he was not allowed to go on
shore, and after the vessel sailed he was
compelled to work day and night in the
rain and cold in wet clothes, without q
change, until the vessel arrived at Port
Hadlock. There he was told with an oath
TO get ashore. He asked for his pay and
was told to go to- and get it.
Four others, he alleges, were treated in
the same manner.
The sailor claims they were forced to
leave, ard he charges it to having signed
what purported to be legitimate shipping
agreement but which turns out to be some
thing else, by which he is defrauded out Of
his wages.
The men signing, he claims are made tc
appear as skilled seamen, although at the
time of signing they may protest that they
have never been to sea. This enables the
captain at the end of the passage to refuse
to pay them because they are not skilled
seamen, as shown by the shipping papers
The five men referred to are utterly DIES
titute, and are seeking to obtain redress.
