on their sixteen months exploration
Of the interior Of the great Labrador
peninsula, which terminated by the
return Of the explorers to Quebec and
their DISARMAMENT at Quebec.
After traversing Labrador last wear

1T WAS STEALING A RIDE.
A Deadly Tarantula Captured In Rail-
way Car.

A young man with much excitement,
mingled with big beads of perspiration
on his face, came into the smoking car
of an Erie railway train as it was get
ting along toward the meadows OF
Orange county the other day, He
carried dinner bucket in one hand
and pressed its lid down with the
other, He was the express messenger,
says the New York Sun.

claimed. Can any one tell me what

A big man with long whiskers and
hair and cowboys hat, who was
smoking strong plug tobacco in clay
pipe, said:

The young man held the dinner
bucket at arms length and raised the
lid. The big man looked into the
bucket
"A t'rantuly, by CEDAR he said,
and took the bucket from the young
man.
"A t'rantuly, as sure as guns" he
continued. "A citizen of Bernudy,
this chap is. And beauty, too.''
The big man got out of his seat and
passed the dinner pail around among
the passengers. 1t was nearly half
full of something that seemed to be all
hair and claws and eyes. No one
seemed pleased with the sight except
the hilsute big man. II was taran-
trIla, sure enough. A unanimous re-
quest was made by the rest Of the
passengers that the hideous spider BE-
pitched out Of window But the big
man gazed at the deadly thing with
undistrbed interest

he asked the express messenger.

deed, he had a wife. It is strange
how naturally one who knew Wesley
Sterritt at this time might, in telling
the story of his life, forget to men
ton the existence of Mrs Sterritt.
There was little about Mrs. Sterritt,
except her existence to be mentioned
in that connection. Even in the ac-
count given by her old neighbors of
the marriage - the one time in her
life when she said II will"-she was
made subordinate and incidental to
the consideration of a grist mill,
which Wesley was commonly said to
have married, the wife passing as
sort of incumbrance upon the proper
ty. Poor woman! Her identity, ex-
cept the mechanical part of it, had
faded away into that of her husband

to his own advantage in many bar
gain-but Wesley had, as though ma
ture provided special compensation
for the shortcomings of personal at
fractions, peculiar indifference as to
externalities, whether his own or
those of other people. He was one
of those people who could swap a
bushel of corn for a bushel of corn
and profit by the transaction, main
tanning reputation for fair measure
and inch-for-inch honesty. He re-
moved at 16 from Flat Rock to Shiloh.
He was rapidly advanced to $40 a
month and then to a partnership in a
dry goods store. He soon became sole
owner OF the business, He added a
line of school books and collins, flour
ished for ten or twelve months, in
sured everything and got burned out.
He went TO Fairhurn He hourished,
of course. He expanded, as it We're,
to the limit of his opportunities. His
enterprise was a revelation to his
competitors. He had toys for Christ
mas, Valentines for the 14th of Feb
ruary, flags for the Fourth of July.
There were rUmors that he had sold
whisky profitable that, because
very risky, the town and county being
dry-but the grand jury never did
anything with it; and Wesley con-
tinued to prosper. He attended
church and Sunday-school regularly,
ingratiating himself to degree with
the denomination that had most adj
herents in the neighborhood. Event
ually he began specializing in cotton.
He sent mysterious kilograms in
cyphers and received equally mys-
terious answers. The telegraph OPP
orator told all about it, contidentially.
The rumor was speedily corroborated,
as it could be in none but small
town where everybody knows every
body else and everybody else's bust
ness.

There was no financial crash, no
crack Of doom. no sensation of any
sort. The man simply continued to
prosper. The town rubbed its eyes
and looked again, to be certain Yves
ley was still there. and then deliber-
ately settled down to the conviction
that he was great financier-a man
who could hold his own in conflict

He came TO be regarded as an oracle

ments. No list of trustees or directors

Proceedings of the Court Martial Ex-
pecred to Reach Paris Soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Adee authorizes the state
ment that information has been receiv ed
from En- bassador Eustis, in response to
urgent instructions cabled him some
three weeks ago. that the record of the
proceedings and evidence in the court
martial of Mr.. Waller at Tamatave is
expected to reach Paris toward the end
of this month. Mr.. Eustis also repre-
sents that access to Mr.. Waller has been
accorded to him, after repeated and ur-
gent requests, as Instructed.
The Department not having been ad-
vised whether Mr.. Eustis has taken ad-
vantage of this permission to delegate a
competent deputy to visit the prison
near ClalrvauX, where MIR. Waller is at
present confined. and confer with him.
Mr.. Adee has instructed him by tele-
graph that he should do so at once, if
not already done
The Department has not later infor-
nation OF the movements of Mrs. Wal
Ter and her four children since the dis

She Meets With an Accident, Not Seri-
Gus, Off Rhode Island.
PROVIDENCE Or. L., Aug. 22.-The De-
fender arrived at Bristol from New
Rochelle this afternoon. She did not
come limping in the harbor like the lame
bird she is. AS her topmast showed
from the Bristol shore above Hog Island.
it was seen that she was coming straight
for home with spinnaker out and all sail
set. But soon, however, she took in all
her canvas save one little piece, and even
then, instead of drifting in with the tide
and breeze, she stuck in q mud-bank
just at the gate of the habor. In other
words. the yacht grounded on the south
east edge Of Hog Island.
The accident will probably be collated
with the series Of mishaps experienced
by the Defender beginning with the day
she was launched, but this mishap was
probably the least serious of any. 1t
would not have happened if there had
been normal tide, but for the past few
days there have been abnormally low
tides along this section of the New Eng
land coast. On ordinary occasions there
is two feet more water where the De-
fender struck than there was to-day.
But 1t was only a mud bank on which she
rested, and she went into it so gently that
her grounding was not readily apparent
TO the many people watching her pro-
gress from the shore. There was no dam
age-lt was probably q bit humiliating

until the train reached Cameron, where
the crew made tour OF the train TO see if

They were not there, and il is supposed
they jumped off when they found the
train running at full speed, from which
tact they evidently thought something
was wrong and they had better give up
the job. 1t is probably due to Engineer
Franks thoughtiulness that the hoId-up

TURKISH OUTRAGES.
An Appeal From the secretary of tho
American Committee for Aid


American Committee for 1sid.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Dr. A. A. Aya-
zian, Secretary of the American commit
tee, which has just been formed for the
purpose OF procuring relief for the Ar
menians who were victims OF the recent
Turkish outrages. has issued an appeal
on behalf Of the committee for aid for the
sufferers.
The appeal, after reciting the atrocities
which so recently shocked the civilized
world, says: Besides murder, rapine and
devastation, another dire visitation has
now come upon that people calling for
Immediate pecuniary help. They are
threatened by famine, and urgent action
is necessary TO avert the danger OF starva-
ton. We are informed by a private let
ter that in one district alone there are
now about $50 OF these houseless wan
derers, living in the woods and noun
tains, in caves and hollow trees, half
naked, and some, indeed. without cover
ing for their max kedness. Bread they have
not tasted for months"
A strong committee of leading English
men, representing all parties and ali
classes, has been formed, and has alread y
raised and forwarded a considerable sum
OF money.
