not want theirs; we want them We do
not want their property, nor their lands,
nor their kingdom
When we reflect that, according to their
own historian, the idols were burned and
the priests driven out and the temples of
pagan worship destroyed, we begin to ask
whether the missionary has done so much
for the heather after all. That he has done
something is true. But has the missionary
done as much for the heather there as the
heather has done for the missionary?
And when we read from their authority
that the natives were so alarmed at their
aggressive grasp that they protested in
mass half century since and brought
out the above declaration to them, the
world may be permitted to ask how that
declaration has been complied with. The
reason is they have taken their property,
their lands and their kingdom.

nevolent Society and the st. Andrew Society,
in trust, said trustees being permitted TO Use

all the rest of the officials have been shaved
proportiouately.
The cut will probably affect the laborers
more than any other class. The deckhands
on the steamers will receive $40 less than
heretofore, and the Chinese section-hand
will get 81 day instead of 81 10. All the
men in the shops and yards at Sausalito,
except the trainmen, will be cut 10 per
cent.
The cut is attributed to a loss of over
$4,000 in operating last year, and the ex-
penses of this department will be reduced
about per cent by this measure

THE MORESBY'S LONG TRIP.
A BRITISH SHIP DISMASTED IN
A GALE IN THE At
LANTIC.
OVER Two HUNDRED AND FORTY
DAYS OUT FROM LIVER
POOL.

The British ship Moresby is now out 241
days from Liverpool and 81 DAYS from
Montevideo. The vessel encountered A.
severe gale in the Atlantic and was partly
dismasted In the storm. Big seas were
shipped, and at one time the gallant vessel
was almost on her beam ends, with the
tips of her yards dangerously near the
water. Her decks were filled with water
and everything was awash. The galley
was Quilted and cooking utensils went by
the board. The wind howled through the
rigging and spars went down to the deck
with run, and sails were blown out of
the bolt ropes and the bulwarks were
smashed and forced outward by the impact
of water.
The Moresby narrowly escaped founder
ing, but she weathered the gale and man
aged to reach Montevideo under Jury rig.
She was temporarily repaired and sailed
again for San Francisco on December 80.
She is making long passage of it, but I'M
doubtedly she had hard time rounding
Cape Horn. Her long trip has grown
grass on her bottom, and trailing weeds
through the rugged waters off the cape
makes the voyage difficult task. When
she arrives here she will be put on the dry
dock.
Up to year ago the practice of docking
British ships in this harbor was very I'M
common occurrence. English owners
often expressed desire to do so, but the
charges, they claimed, were too great.
About six months ago the charges were
reduced, but still San Francisco enjoys the
distinction of being the most expensive
harbor. in the world, and shipping men
claim that dock-owners are standing in
their own light. During the past six
months more British vessels have been
drydocked than ever before in the history
of the harbor.

WAS BADLY INJURED
DR.. Thomas Streets Knocked Down With q
Club
Swears Out Warrant for James
POllard-ROmance in the
Case.

DR.. Thomas Streets, young colored phy-
stefan, who lives at 45S o street northwest,
was assisted to the Police Court today, and
there he swore out warrant for James
Pollard, also colored, for alleged assaults
The young doctor was seriously assaulted,
and although he managed to get to the
Police Court today, with the assistance OF
his friend, Charles Jones. 1t is feared that
he may yet die from the result of his in
juries.
Both his eyes are closed, and the serious
injuries to his head are covered with ban
dages. He is extremely weak and can
hardly talk.
Last Thursday night, after the time for
church meeting, the affair happened in an
alley near 18th and r streets, and Streets
charges that Pollard inflicted the injuries
with club or heavy cane.
According to his story to the clerk, DR..
Streets has been paying some attention to
Miss Catherine Alexander, who is Pollard's
sister-in-law, and Pollard has made known
his objections, so the doctor says, by using
threatening language.
Pollard objected to his (Streets) visiting
the house, and Miss Alexander had COM
municated to her young friend these al
legged threats. SO he says, and he had been
on the lookout for him.
The doctor did not care to have the young
woman's brother-in-law interfere with his
love affairs and so he paid no attention to
the alleged threats. He kept away from
the house, but did not desert the girl.
Thursday night DR.. Streets attended serv-
ices at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church.
and just before the services were over he left
the church and saw Miss Alexander home.
She lives only short distance from the
church, and when he had left her house
he started back to the church, hoping to
meet his friend Jones.
On his way to the church he stepped in
the alley, and as so.n as he reached there
lie was assaulted with a club. His assa;l-
ant dealt him several blows and departed,
leaving his victim lying on the ground i'll
an almost uncor scious condition. He was
able to make cutlery enough to attract at
tentiCn, and rumber of persons from the
church came to his assistance.
Then the badly wounded man was taken
to Freedmans Hospital, whore his wounds
were dressed and he was sent home 1t
was about o'clock in the morning when
he reached home, but he was so completely
exhausted that he could not speak.
He was really not well enough to leave
his home today, but as he was anxious to
get the case into court he risked going out,
and the writ was issued.
1t is understood that Mr.. Pollard denies
that he is the man who committed the as
sault He is still at home and is waiting
for the police to serve the warrant.
1t is likely that the warrant will not be
served until tomorrow, and the case Will
then reach court Monday morning.

there acquired worldly wisdom:
After returning to his native place he
needed some money, and requested a
loan from a gentleman in the neighbor-
hood. The latter, Mr.. Stewart, COM

Taking Exercise.

Poor Harry Shelman. the lOng-haired
poet, who dressed his entire person to
resemble Buffalo Bill, and who was, in
fact, startlingly like the greatest of
scouts, used to tell me Of a literary
friend of his who had a novel method
of taking exercise. His workshop was
on the top floor of his house, far from
the noise Of the street, and he used to
write about fifteen hours a day. He
was not a HOwells or a Bronson How
ard, whose working hours never ex-
coed four in any one day. He worked;
he labOred; he tOiled. He had no time
for a bicycle and could not afford a
horse. He hated walking. Run he
could not. Swimming was out Of the
question. Still he must have exercise.
He kept his dictionary in the basement
and his theSaurus in the kitchen. AS
he used both very often, it was neces-
sary to make many trips down stairs
and up again. and in that way he kept
himself in splendid physical condition.
A visitor once saw him dashing down
stairs like a mailman and soaring up
again like a kite, and vas distressed

"These farmers knows too much for
their own good" growl the buyers. Mean
while the farmers stand together and per-
haps go home without selling. The buy
er, in the end, makes his money or small
margins and handles large quantities.
He is really allowed only a small COM
mission. Only now and then does he
make a shrewder bargain or find u farm
er who must nave money.
"Well, l guess III go home and put in
winter wheat until the price comes round
my way" he announces as he drives
away, and he keeps up this assumed in

Saturday is the day generally agreed
upon as the day to sell, because then the
farmers are gathered in the market
towns in the greatest gumber; Then &C
tual wagon loads of wheat are hauled in
and before the horses are unhitched and
the farmer tilted back against the front
of his favorite store, a buyer saunters
over and makes an offer, which the farm
er declines.
Drought this in to sell, did you?"
ooh, guess l can haul it back.
Horses haven't got anything else to do"
In a few minutes another buyer APP
pears and makes the same offer. The
price is agreed upon beforehand among
the buyers. AS the hours go by other
farmers come in, and perhaps a sale is
made. Then, as the farmers begin TO
hitch up again, the buyers begin to bid
against Zach other in their efforts to Sc
cure the wheat. A miniature Board of
Trade is thus organized impromptu, and
the storekeepers come out of the shops
to see the fun. One after another the
loads are purchased and driven off to the
warehouses or freight cars standing on
