Jones' Success with "scratch" Crews

Jones' Success with "Scratch" Crews
One Of the strangest things in Paul
Jones' career was the success he
achieved with scratch" crews. In
his greatest fight, contemporary his.
tory says, he had "as bad crew as
ever was shipped" being made up Of
all nations, among them Maltese, Por-
tuguese, and Malays, who did not al-
ways comprehend the word Of COM
mand. Paul Jones has been severely
denounced for having returned to the
place of his birth bent on destruction;
but, as Cooper justly points out, an
officers oath obliges him to do all In
his power to harass the enemy; and 1t
was not only Paul Jones right, but
his duty, to use his knowledge Of the
Scotch and Irish coasts in the prOsecu-
ton of the war If he had any feel
ing on the subject, it would have been
his duty to suppress it. But Paul
Jones probably had no feeling what
ever, except resentment. He had left
his native land as child, and upon
his last visit he had been cruelty Ill
used, as he thought; and he did his
duty on this cruise with no more re-
pugnance than he would have felt at
doing it elsewhere-and did 1t merci-

| door, which she unlocked, and, remov.
| ing the key, she proceeded TO the street
entrance
| There she discovered that the bolts
were drawn, and that only the night
| latch secured it.
Marion seemed startled at this, and
she reeled back against the wall, where
| she stood for moment trembling
| slightly, but with her brows contracted,
| as though in deep thought
If she was mentally debating some
| question, she arrived at a conclusion al
most instantly, for with hand that no
| longer trembled she unlocked the street
door.
Then leaving the entrance to the Office
unguarded by bolt or bar, Marion again
retraced her steps to the rear stairs,
which she ascended. Half way up she
clutched the handrail in convulsive
way and paused for moment to listen,
for she fancied she heard footsteps in the
hall above. She did not hear the sound
again, and believing she was deceived by
her imagination she continued up the
stairs.
Could her eyes have penetrated the
darkness as she paused upon the stairs
she would have seen the dark, cruel face
of Judith Kredge, the female domestic,
peeripg down at her from the passage
above.
When she reached the landing Marion
saw no one, but she did not return to her
own apartment On the contrary she
went to the door Of the sleeping-room
occupied by Judith Kredge.
Marion knorneu, anu moment subse-
quently the woman who had just played
the palt of o spy, opened the door.
She was clad in loose, dark wrapper,
which she seemed to have hastily
donned.
aWhat is it, Miss Marion2 You are
not i'll, | hope?" she said, fcigning sur
prise and solicitude.
"No; ! am not i'll, but I cannot sleep.
Father has not come home. l have
vainly listened for his footsteps on the
stairs all night. What can keep him out
so late. Oh, fear some misfortune has
befallen him."
"Perhaps he has returned and entered
the office as he sometimes does, after
business hours. Do you not remember
he once fell asleep there and remained

ayes, yes; why did not think OF that
before, I wonder, Judith.
The woman's eyes cleaned intelligent
ly, but she made no answer.
She accompanied Marion down the
front stairs
They reached the Office door and
opened it.
Marion entered first, lamp in hand,
and Judith Kredge came also behind
her.
They had scarcely crossed the thresh
old when they recolled, and Marion rtr
tered q cry of horror
A terrible sight met their eyes.
"My father has been lnurdered!'
gasped Marion in an awful voice.

Doctors are getting to be great humor'
lists. One in Chicago, the other day,
Issued a death certificate stating that
one Of his patients died Of valvular dis
ease of the heart Just before the last
funeral arrangements were completed
the police force demanded the right to
examine the corpse, and further exami-
nation showed that thirty-two calibre
bullet had bored q hole through the
mans heart. This fact, coupled with
the fact that night watchman in the
same block had shot q burglar few
hours before, and the wounded man
had suddenly and mysteriously disap-
peared, led the officers to surmise that
the "valvular disease Of the heart was
due to the watchman's bullet The
doctor was appealed to for an explana-
ton. He very willingly gave one. he
still maintained that death was due
to valyular disease Of the heart. He
added, however, that the passage Of the
bullet through the heart might possibly
have had something to do with the
trouble in it's valves. when arrived"
he confined, "the man was gasping for
breath, and by using stethoscope l
could distinctly distinguish mitral re.
gurgitation, showing that the hearts
action was affected. He died almost
Immediately and made out the return.
1t was all right, too" Why, certainly.
Would anyone seriously claim that the
patient died Of smallpox or consump.
ton or appendicitis? We guess not. 1t
was clear case of heart failure. There
should be more Of 'em in the burglars
profession and fewer OF! them in death

GOLD MINES IN THE SOUTH.
Report of tho Government Geologist Sent
to Survey the Land.

The report Of George F. Becker, Of the
Geological Survey, who has been investigat-
ing the gold producing districts OF the
Southern Appalachian region, has been com
pleted. Mr.. Becker was sent out on this
work last August, and spent the three fol-
lowing months in prosecuting 1t.
The greater part OF the time
he was in the Carolinas and in
Georgia, where the gold region is best de-
fined These districts have been producing
gold for very nearly century. Gold has
also been found in nearly all the other
Southern States, but not in very considera-
Bile quantities. The entire South has pro-
duced about $500, ,O00 of dollars worth OF
gold since 1799, 430O0.G00 of which came
from Georgia and the CLrolinas. or the
S43. 1000 South Carolina produced about
4 600 900; Georgia 1G 900, 900 and North Car
olinu %. .0O0. .OOO. Cabarrus County, in the
southwestern part Of North Carolina. Is the
richest part of ul, and is famous for the mug
gets that have been found there. In the
curly part Of the century the largest nugget
on record in the United States was discovered
there. Just month ago one weighing over
eight pounds was discovered.
Mr. Becker says that he considers the
country good mineral one, and the pros
meets for investment excellent. There nre
not likely to be any great fortunes made, nor
any bonanzas discovered, but mining invest
ments will pay from ten to fifteen per cent.
if made With care and prudence.

RELIGIOUS READING,
RELIGIOUS FAITHS.

Religious and pseudo-religious faiths must
be judged by their founders Men do not
gather grapes Of thorns, or figs Of thistles.
Madame Blavatsky gave theosophy whatever
prominence it has today and wrote more CO.
piously about it than any other person, and
yet she is now generally considered to have
been an imposter, the Society for Psychicsl
Research after thorough investigation de-
claring that she has title to permanent re-
memprance as lone of the most accomplished,
ingenious and interesting imposters in
history" Most prominent among Amer
lean theosophists is Mr.. Judge, whom
Mrs. Annie Besant and the Indian
section Of theosophists have placed in niche
alongside Of Madame Bavatsky, accusing
him Of "forging mahatmas." The chief in
terest the public has had in the annual meet
ing Of the American theosophists, held In
Boston, short time since, has been In
waiting to see whether Mrs. Besant's estimate
OF Mr.. Judge would be approved, but It has
not been. How many more earthly idols
must Mrs Besant see shattered before she
ceases putting faith in mortal man2
