"A brother wearer of the brass helmet

and big one, too--and in making his
way through the house positively saw
bank notes burning away like SO many
pipe lights. He picked mp as many MS he
possibly could. stuffed them in his pock
cts and went on with his work After
the confagration had ceased the man
who was left in charge picked mp among
the embers an old fashioned pepper box
black and charred-filled with silver
dollars, and a further search brought
him to a number of rare old silver
spoons.

The Ways w-hereIn he Differed From
Others of Ills Calling.

The Ways wherein he bsnereo EA
Others of his Calling.
Il is as old as the Proverbs that the
cobbler's children are always poorly
shod
The restaurant man goes home for
dinner, and the bartender is a total abb
stainer
The druggist may patronize the faith
cure and the railway man knows OF no
greater luxury than a ride in buggy.
The street car conductor is glad to get a
day off, so he can take long walk.
A more remarkable case than any OF
these is that of the head usher at the
.theater, and one theater in particular.
Probably every playgoer in Chicago
knows him. The title of head usher"
does him an injustice. He is more like a
host or the chief of a reception commit
tee.
There are head ushers who pounce
upon you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,
First aisle TO the right y
There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry mp or step lively. They
give loud warning that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, therer' and are
constantly distracted because of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting npon them.
AS soon as snippy young man gets
into a box Office or is engaged as an
usher, he begins TO imagine that he
owns the house, the company and good
part of the frontage in the block.
But the exceptional head usher is
calm, polite. attentive and solicitous.
Nomatter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in, it seems that every one who
comes receives some courtesy at his
hands
He doesn't shout or grab and the
small children are - afraid of him.
The most remarkable thing about this
model master Of ceremonies, however,
Is that he knows very little about actors
or plays

was crowded and the performance was
being received with noisy approval.
man who came into the foyer between

"Didn't you see it?'
"No; l was out here all the time. "
SIS that so? Don't you step inside to
see the performances"
'sOh, no My duties keep me here. In

sition have never seen performance "

the officials to compel him by stratagem

The treatment of both sprains and

this was ac,uslly accomplished in th'
case of Miss Jeuuie Cox, of Corning
Iowa This lady is very enthusiastic
in speaking OF her recovery, and wher
a reporter called upon her she readily
gave the following statement of bel
wonderful cure:

4 SCHOONER IS SIGHTED.
Seen BY the Hawaii OFF Lanai Flash
ing Signals.
officials of Maui IN Chase-Captain
Peterson Reports Movements OF
the Eleu-Cruising About,
From Saturdays Daily.l

More information has been re-
ceived about the mysterious
schooner reported to be cruising
about the islands. The steamer
Hawaii, which left Honolulu Mon
day saw a strange schooner of
Lanai. When first sighted the
vessel was flashing signals. The
Hawaii put into Maalaea and re-
ported the matter to Sheriff An
drews. That official sent out a
boat in charge Of Deputy Sheriff
Baldwin and Fred Carter. The
officers reported that the schooner
came close to the shore at Lanai
two hours after they landed and
showed a number OF signals, but
no answer being received put off
again in the direction of Maui. 1t
was impossible for the officers to
follow, as no headway could be
made in a small boat. Deputy
Sheriff Baldwin was still at Lanai
when the news was sent down by
the Hall. There is reason to be-
lieve that the strange schooner
sighted by the Hawaii is the same
seen at Kauai several days ago and
which the tug Eleu was sent out to
capture.
Captain Peterson of the James
Makee, which arrived last night,
brought further news OF the Eleu
and the strange schooner. He
reports having left Hanamaula
Friday morning at s O'Clock.
The tug was seen a short distance
rom that place, and from what
Captain Peterson heard before leav-
ng, the Eleu would leaTe shortly
after departure of the Makee.
shortly after leaving Hanamaula,
Captain Peterson passed a small
schooner, but did not think she
vas foreign, and capable of. making
he voyage from the Coast.
TIE Eleu had been cruising
bout Hanelei since leaving Homo
ulu and would likely return to !
his port last night. Up to 8
iclock this morning nothing had
,een seen of the EIeu.
Diamond Head lookout reported
he weather very thick outside last
light, and in consequence nothing
ould be seen of vessels until they
ad passed the Heads.

SCULLERS COLLIDE.
Two Myrtle Members Thrown
Into the Harbor.


An event not on the regular Sun
day program OF practice with the
crew OF the Myrtles occurred IN
the bay Sunday afternoon. Sew
eral new members were out for a
trial spin and while of Wilder's
wharf two of the single sculls cap
sized. Norman Halstead and Olaf
Sorenson, occupants of the boats,
were thrown into the water.
Captain Soule, of the bark Mar
tha Davis, which is lying alongside
Wilder's dock, saw the mishap and
threw several life preservers to the
unlucky men. The launch OF the
Bennington also put out to the
assistance OF the rowers.
Halstead succeeded in catching
one of Captain Soule's life pre-
servers and made the best OF his
vay to a buoy anchored near. Sor,
enson was picked up by the Launch
and his scull righted so that he
could get back to the boat house

Halstead in the meantime was
shouting loudly for assistance from
his haven on the buoy. The crew
of the Martha Davis put out IN a
boat to his rescue. His scull was
righted and the unlucky sculler
sent on his way, very wet, but
thankful that nothing more seri-
Gus had happened.
The capsizing of the boat was
caused by the two sculls colliding.
Sorenson was badly scared, but re-
