Saved From the oreron.

We were talking of wrecks at sea. saws
a writer in the New York Press. l have
been in several, and am still alive to tell
the tale. The most remarkable of all was
the loss of the Oregon. Mystery still
hangs around it. Its sinking was like the
sinking of an island city off the coast of
Spain. There was one incident connect
ed with the going down of this magnifi-
cent steamship that invariable causes me
to laugh when l think of it. Mr. and
Mrs. Coils p Huntington were among
the passengers returning from tour of
Europe. In the excitement of getting off
in the boats they We're separated, Mrs
Huntington, with other ladies' being hur-
ried away in one of the large boats for
ward of the second cabin. The sea was
almost calm, but the boat was so heavily
loaded that the gunwales were within an
inch or two of the water, and a slight
movement caused it to dip. Suddenly
Mrs. Huntington, who had kept up her
courage well, sprang up and shouted with
a fearful voice:
My Coils! Oh, where is my Collis?"
She clasped her hands and looked anx-
iously toward the fast sinking ship
Sit down. roared one of the sailors
as the water ran over the side.
But my Coils! Oh, where is my Col
Iis?"
''Sit down, 1 say! Damn your collars!
You ought to be glad you've saved your
self"

Vest ana BIackburn.

met my short-legged old friend, Senator
George Graham Vest of Missouri, at the
Hoffman house yesterday, says writer
in the New York Press. Vest Is one of
the most uncomfortable looking old men
of my acquaintance. He seems always
about to sting or to be stung. Perhaps
that is whs- ne Is called the Wasp of the
Senate" : = am not mistaken, Vest and
Joe Black Dunn were born in the same
county in A. ntucky. They have always
been the best of friends. When seen to-
gether they are the long and the short of
1t. Both have the Kentucky gift of the
CAB, and neither ever gets tired of hearing
himself talk. Each calls himself a dead
game sport. They know as much about
horses as a hog does about a holiday, but
whenever they happen to be at a county
fair where there Is racing they are invited
to act as judges. on one occasion they
lost themselves and the horses in a series
of good stories, and neither had the re-
hottest idea of which finished first, second
or third. The crowd waited patiently for
the numbers to go up. A hundred shout
ers collected around the stand.
What are you going to do, Joe?' Vest
Blamed If l know" Joe replied under
his breath. Were ruined If we put up
the wrong horse Was it a close finish?'
How do know? l didn't see any more
wait, I'll settle it," said Joe. He called
up the clerk of the scales and asked him
did. He named them. Put them up"
said the senator Then, turning to Vest
he continued: Come on, George, quick
Let's get out of the way till we see how
they take the placing"
Up to the club house they went almost
on a run, as the numbers were put up.
The crowd cheered and seemed satisfied
and the two senators were relieved of a
great burden. They did their duty the
rest of the afternoon. A few years after
ward Blackburn told the story to some
brother senators. What would you have
done If the wrong numbers had been put
up, Blackburn said Senator Kenna.
Il should have taken my carriage and
skipped out for home as hard as l could
And you, Vest, what were you going
to DOR
"Follow Blackburn" was the reply.

The board of pardons of Ohio has before
it an application for clemency on behalf
for life on the testimony of ghost. The
man was some years ago convicted of MUIR
der upon the sole testimony of the mother
of his alleged victim, and all that she
knew about the case was what she said the
ghost of her son had told her in
dream. 1t seems almost incredible that
in the closing years of the nineteenth CEN
fury a man should have been convicted
of crime upon such testimony. But they
sometimes do very peculiar things in Ohio.

New York and New England yachtmen
are jubilant at the showing so far made
by the Defender. In her trial on Thursday
it is asserted that she actually out-sailed
the wind. That sailing craft can go
much faster than the wind which pro-
pels her is a scientific fact that is strik-
ingly demonstrated in the sailing of ice
yachts. With the draft of six mile
breeze blowing across her quarter, the
Defender sailed at the rate of eight miles

"He,s a Quecr Firh.n

A few days ago we published a most re-
markable fish story. 1t was an account of
the deductions of Prof Cope, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, going to show
that while a man may have descended from
an inhnitessimal primordial protoplasm, as
the opera writer Gilbert says he did, he ar
rived at his present state in eleven sue
cessive steps, beginning at the fish. That
is 10 say Prof, Cope has beaten Darwin at
his own game, and traced man back
through the monkey, without a missing
link to the period when his ancestors
first acquired backbone.
1t is worthy of note that Prof. Cope was
not the first person TO originate theory
of the piscatorlal origin of man. though
he undoubtedly should have the credit for
being the first to work one out through a
reasonable formula. Plutarch quotes Anax-
imander as saying that men were FIRST
produced in fishes, and when they were
grown up and able to help themselves were
thrown up and so lived upon the land" It
difference between the theories of Anax-
imander and Prof. Cope. The ancient the
orist had not so many helps as has the
modern, hence instead of following man
through eleven steps of evolution from
scales to shirts, he jumped to the conclu-
sion that the fish was merely a kind of in
cubator for the human species. whereas.
according to Prof. Cope. the fish was actu-
ally the ancestor of the race.
There are certain inquisitive persons who
delight to trace adages and other folk
lore back to their origin; and they are in
variably able to take the most homely or
most nonsensical saying and show that it
really means something and had a reason
able beginning, The theories of Messrs.
Anaximander and Cope will be welcomed
by such persons. 1t undoubtedly affords
the philologlsts pointer whereby they
may trace back some trite expressions that
have become part of the vernacular Ian
guage of the day. Hes a queer fish," HE
drinks like a fish," That's a scaly trick"
"What a sucker he is!' That's a bait for
gudgeons," aye gods and little fishesw "a
whale among minnows,' II won't bite at
that bait,'' and dozens of other similar
fishy sayings are 20 be heard every day. In
the light of what our theorists say, is it
not readily apparent where they came
from, and why they are so often apropos?
There is more or less reason in most things,
when one goes back 10 first principles.

GEORGE DUNHAM'S DOINGS.
Charged with FOrgery-Claimed to BE
Louis Nephew.

George Durham, who asserts hat he is
q nephew of Louis Reibold, of the Bates
Hotel. has been cutting some curious ca
pers in the northern part of the State.
In the guise of an advertisement agent he
is said to have swindled a number of bust
ness men at Wabash. He bought space i'm
the Plain Dealer, of that city, announcing
that he was getting up an advertising di-
rectory. He procured a letter from the
manager of the newspaper, and with ex-
aggerated promises succeeded i'm obtaining
fifty contracts. Part of the money was
turned over TO the paper, but the remainder
he poeketed and left the town. 1t is
charged that Durham forged a check on
the First National Bank of Calumet. Mich.
and that he worked a bogus check or an
Anderson jeWeler, receiving in exchange an
eighty-dollar diamond ring.
Mr.. Reibold says that Durham is not a
relative Of his. Durham came here with
his wife a month ago and lived at the
Bates for a week. The hotel people under
stood that Mrs. Dunbar and the wife
of Joseph Dillon. manager of Pauline Hall,
were sisters. Mrs. Dillon was hurt in the
Vandalia wreck at Coatsville. and the Dun
hams came here from Chicago to visit her.
While at the hotel Durham conducted him.

circles there is a general belief that such
a line will be established. 1t would be
longer than that of the Vandalia by a few
miles, while it would be a few miles
shorter than the Big Four lines. These
three lines, operating in conjunction, could

AMERICAN WIVES OF FOREIGNERS.
A Highly UncOmpIimentary Picture
Drawn hN n al

Here is the way a writer in the London
World describes what happens after a rich
American girl has succeeded i'm capturing
n titled Englishman for a husband:
When the marriage festivities are over,
the honeymoon ended. and the realities Of
sort of a wife does the Anglo-Anerican
bride develop into as a rule? In cases
where the dowry is large and the devotion
lot great, this question: is of little impor-
lance. In a big house there is little room
or clnshing, and Il the circle of friends
md wife will hardly have time to grow
sufficiently familiar for either lovemaking
Or quarreling;, Surprising, however. that the
husband should be so unfortunate as to have
conceived any real affection for his bride
before marriage, and to have evolved any
>anion, friend, and sympathizer who is the
deal wife and helpmate, he is certainly
doomed to severe disappointment.
He will find that there is no domestic
side to his spouse's character. Neither her
education nor her life has been calculated
TO encourage in her the instincts CT the
mother or the housewife. She has no de-
sire for children; less inclination has she
to be troubled with them If they come. She
annot be bored with household ce:ails. She
confines herself to issuing orders to we'll
drilled dependents. rates all misperform-
ance in a loud key, and checks the bills
with the acuteness of a LAWYERS clerk. She
has no taste for home life. IN The con-
trary, she counts every evening wasted Il at
she spends at home. and would die of ennui
were she condemned for long to the sole

Very quickly he will find that -ler theory
of life comprehends only an endless round
of gayety and a perpetual circle OF ex-
penditure. The country is only tolerable
TO her during the first effervescence of the
bridal return, when the house is filled as
rapidly as it empties. and the ~neighbors are
all in activity to welcome the bride. But
when the long evenings set in, and il is
no longer possible to tear about all day,
and the landscape assumes the gray hue
of winter, very soon she tires of il. grows
restless and disconnected, while her natural
ly strident voice assumes a sharper and
more disagreeabie note. So, at last. the
country seat is left to take care of itself,
and the couple hasten to London, Paris.
Cairo. or Monte Carlo. where she IS soon
herself again. The end of this is sure to
come sooner or later.
THE husband grows tired of the home
that is no home. the wife who is no COM
panion except for other people, and the
new friends whose faces there is barely
time TO get to know by sight. He returns
to his work. his sports. or his destinations
with renewed ardor. and profoundly re-
grets that he did not marry in America.

G. r.. & 4. ForecIosure suit.

The financial papers of the East are COM
ment1ng freely on the action of trustees
OF the Grand Rapids & Indiana road in the
matter of foreclosure, the Relief prevailing
that the Pennsylvania CT npany is pushing
the SUIT. The New York Investigator says:
THE action is brought TO obtain defaulted
interest on a mortgage given Aug. /, 1854,
as security for 50, 0O0,O 600, due i'm 1899, of which
S2.9I5,O0o is still outstanding. This road is
controlled by the Pennsylvania Company,
they having a contract running for thirty
years from Oct. 1. 1869, under the terms Of
vhich the Pennsylvania Company guaran-
tees 100000 of its first mortgage land grant
bonds. The action also covers the Cincin-
natl, Richmo & Fort Wayne, Travers
City Railroad Company, Bay View aid Lit
tie Travers & Mickinaw railroads., in all
about 46 miles Of single track which are
controlled by the Grand Rapids & Indiana.
A large proportion of the securities of the
road are held in this city and the condi-
ton of its Frances has been known TO be
bad for a considerable period; thus the ac-
ton taken did not occasion much surprise.
The pennsylvania contract has only four
more years to run and this fact, together
with uncertainty as TO the future relations
of the roads. probably precipitated the fore
closure. The contract Is of doubtful value
TO the Pennsylvania and this and several
other REMEMBERING branches of its system
might be cut off with beneficial results 10
Grand Rapids & Indiana IS sl.ss6.o S. The
total funded debt outstanding Is S3, I0G,643.
and according to their last statement the
unfunded debt and current liabilities
amounted to &, ss9. 069. According TO the bill
filed with the United States court there are
s., 900 outstanding Of bonds issued on a
mortgage in 1869. coupons of which amount
ing TO $1O, 4S2.S5 are unpaid; the time OF this
mortgage has been extended fifty years.
There are s., 1896, 900 bonds outstanding on a
more recent mortgage. on which there are
$500, 600 of unpaid coupons. The floating debt
amounts to $780, 600. contingent liabilities,
