SHE Is Seized
AT SAN Diego.
VIOLATION OF THE NEUTRALITY
LAWS BY THE SCHOONER
WAHLBURG.
CARRIED ARMS TO HAWAII
CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD BY THE
CAPTAIN AND STEWARD OF
THE VESSEL.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 13. = The schooner
Wahlburg arrived at this port to-day, and
was seized by Collector Fisher on the
charge of having violated the neutrality
laws by transporting arms and ammuni-
ton to the Hawaiian country for the use OF
the revolving royalists.
Captain Matthew S. Martin processes in
nocence, and persistently declares he has
been on another hunting expedition.
Simultaneous interviews with the cap
tain and the steward resulted in marked
divergence in their statements, the captain
referring to the stormy experience at sea
during the recent gale, while the steward
said that they had experienced good
weather throughout the voyage.
Both have the outlines of the other s
hunting story by heart, but differed in re-
spect to details, hedging when questioned
as to the amount of salt on board and the
supply of provisions.
Hawaiian Consul Wood expresses the
opinion that a straight case can be made
out against the Wahlburg, and has .ad-
vised Minister Thurston on all facts re-
lating to the seizure.
The Wahlburg is an ordinary fore-and-
aft schooner with a maintopmast and two
jibs. She is of twenty seven tons register
and fifty feet long.

Mrs. Girard through the door.
"What things?" asked the man, diplo-

Mrs. Girard called out list of the things,
checking them off on her fingers as she
spoke.

sullenly.
"No?" from Mrs. Girard, interrogatively.
"Well, was full, y finally admitted the
voice from the kitchen.
Then Mrs. Girard's voice showed how
sorry she could be for man that would
get ''full," as she asked confdentially:
"How much did you get for them2"
The rattle of the approaching patrol
wagon came family at first as Redding re-
piled, in evident despair:
"Only $2.'
On the arrival of the patrol wagon Red
ding was taken to the Seventeenth-street
police stallion, and Mrs. Girard followed to
make a charge. Her nerves had given way
lust a little after the fight was over, and
family influence prompted her to make the
charge as light as possible. An amateur
lawyer at the police station. who sat with
his feet higher than his head while talking
to Mrs. Girard, suggested that nothing less

LYNN, Mass, Feb. 13.-Fire broke out
about O'Clock tonight in the basement
of three-story wooden building occupied
by w. Henry Hutchinson, hardware, and
spread to adjoining property, entailjng a

have been in the building when the fire
broke out.
The following were injured: William
Hunt, George Middleton, William Minton,
Charles Corson, George Center, Nicholas
Webber, Leo Miller, A. C. Moody and
Lorenzo Allen, all firemen. A spectator
was also injured by falling debris, but not
seriously.
The blaze started near the paintroom, in
the Hutchinson building, and promised to
do but slight damage for the first half hour,
during which the efforts of the fremen
were confined mostly to the basement and

in the very heart of the most dangerous
district of Lynn, a second and third alarm
had been rung in as precaution. When
the fire had been burning half an hour,
without warning, terrific explosion oc-
Cured, which seemed to split the building
from bottom to top. The upper stories sep
arated, and the long ladders, on which
several firemen stood, slipped and fell into
the cavity and the men were hurled to the
pavement beneath.
Then the building fell, mass of ruins,
and with fresh energy the flames began to
spread. The next building was occupied
by Peter Connolly, wholesale and retail
shee dealer, This was wholly destroyed,
and the fury of the flames were not
checked. Assistance was then summoned
from Salem and Marblehead.
The flames swept on to the three-and-a-
half-story wooden building adjoining, and
occupied by T. ]. Ready, dealer in new
and secondhand furniture, and Parsons e.
Lick, BARRIERS. This building was also
totally destroyed. Meanwhile assistance
arrived. Tons of water were poured upon
the flames, and they we're finally checked,
after having ragged for three hours. Total
loss, $4,000; insurance, $50, 600.

two days may then have to be done all
over, or at least so modified as to satisfy
the four outsiders. However, a strong
effort will be made to keep the new board
in existence. At all events, it is believed
that even if cut-rate war cannot be averted
1T will not last long, for the reason that the
interests of MagilPs and Duvals companies
are identical with those represented by the
principal agents'here and are closely con-
nected all over the United States.
MagiD is known to have submitted to
the executive committee of the new board
| synopsis of the constitution he desires
adopted, but it contains sections the rest
OF the agents could not possibly concede.
When the members return tomorrow
Magill, Duval, Turner and Potter will be
seen and final attempt will be made to
settle the differences in friendly talk.
At the morning session rules relating to
the election of officers, formation of exec
utive committee, selection of secretary for
executive committee, who takes the place
of the manager of the old Pacific Insur-
ance Union, came up.
In regard to rates little was done, except
to verify the report that if San Francisco
gets paid Fire Department, as provided
for in the new charter, the rates will be re-
duced 10 to Is per cent Immediately, with
a further reduction of per cent if the de-
partment comes up to the expected i'm
provement.
When the insurance men return to San
Francisco they will confer with the Elec-
trio Light Company representatives with
the purpose of agreeing upon the adoption
of the system of insulation of electric-lig ight
wires now in practice in the East, where it
is very successful.
Rolla V. Watt gave driving party in
honor of ]. j. Furcell of New York, the
assistant United States manager of the
Sun fire office, who is visiting here.
Messrs. Spencer, Cofran, Landers and
Dickson made up the party. They started
at Z o'clock for trip over the sixteen-mile
drive.
The meeting adjourned at II As p. NJ to

MERIDIAN, Feb. 13.-Saunders Carlisle,
the negro who is charged with the assassi-
nation of his landlord, Joe Hurst, at But
ler, Ala, few days ago, has surrendered
to the officers at that place. He denies
killing Hurst, but says that Hurst's son
and daughter killed the old man. He
(Carlisle) was offered and accepted forty
acres of land and mule to do the bloody
deed, but on reaching the spot where the
murder was to be committed his heart
failed him and he threw up the job, leav-
ing it for young Hurst and his sister to do.
The trio are in jail awaiting investigation,
but the probabilities are they will never
reach trial, as the citizens are very indig-
nant and talk freely of lynching them.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The contempt case
against George NJ. Pullman was dismissed
to-day by Judge Grosscup. Mr.. Pullman
explained that he was just recovering from
an attack of the grippe, and having previ-
ously arranged for a vacation in order to
obtain needed rest he went East last Tues

the defense had caused subpoena to be
issued for HIM as witness, and that he had
not been served.

that an attempt was being made to con-
strue his departure as disrespect to the
court, and he at once sent word notifying
the court of his intended immediate re-
turn. Judge Grosscup expressed himself
as satisfied that he had not intended or
committed any contempt of court and at
once dismissed the case.

once before they lay him in his grave. "
She was like e woman stricken with
death.
Captain Fleming came down in tho
same sunny month of August, and he
talked for hours about one who had
been the hero OF the fight. He told a
hundred anecdotes of Colonel North,
of his courage, his bravery, his kind
ness; how he was beloved by his friends,
worshipped by the soldiers; how he
was always ready with kindly words
and generous help.
She listened with a white, set face;
and spoke no word.
Il do not believe" said Captain
Fleming, "that he had blot in his
life"
But we two women, who knew
what o dark and terrible blot there
had been, said nothing.
Lady Latimer was like a woman
turned into stone.
Another great event happened in
that month OF August.
Lord Latimer died quite suddenly.
He had been unusually irritable, and
complained Of not being well, but
no one suspected that he was worse
than usual. His valet, going to wake
him one morning, found him dead in
his bed, and the doctor said he had
been dead some hours. There was no
need for any inquest; he had died
from heart disease from which he had
suffered many years.
1t was a terrible blow to Lady Lati-
mer; not that she loved him but that
it brought her sin and her sorrow SO
forcibly to her mind.
How strange it seems that he
should have died first" she said to me
one day. "Oh, Audrey" God has
punished my sin"
Then Lionel Fleming became Lord
Latimer, and master of LOTIONS Cray.
The old lord had left his wife large
fortune.
81 shall sperd it all in charity she
said to me. There is but one interest,
one pleasure in life left, and that is
doing good to others"
And it was perfectly true. If ever
any woman tried to make up for sin
by charity and good deeds, Lady Lati-
mer did.
The new Lord Latimer begged Of us
to remain at LOTIONS Cray for some few
months. He did not want to take pos
ession until the spring OF the year,
and he prayed us TO remain there
Lady Latimer consented, and we lived
there in peace and seclusiOn until the
Christmas snow was on the ground
again and the New Year coming round

ing in the following cogent manner:
/. That it is the business upon the
farm that permits the most absolute
control over conditions of production
and distribution of product: hence the
most profitable.
2. 1t is the highest art of farming,
because it combines all other lines
and gives greater opportunity for ex.
ecutive and manufacturing skill.
3. 1t is most free from irresponsible
and destructive competition by ne
cessity Of its character and by the per-
sonal equation of the individual pro-
Queer.
4. 1t is a more exact line of produc-
ton, permitting gross receipts to be
forecast with greater exactness; hence
the greater poss ibilities of increasing
net receipts, either by lowering ex-
penses or increasing volume of prod
net.
8. II permits the employment OF
labor at season of the year when
farm labor is cheapest, II winter dairy
ing is followed.
6. OF all products sold from the farm,
butter takes the least fertility and re-
stores the greatest amount to the farm,
and IL is well known that most fertile
sections of the country are where but

Feather Eating.

Want of occupation is one of the
chief causes OF hens learning to eat
feathers. For want of something TO
do they peck at the feathers on one
another, and soon develop taste for
them. If the practice Is not stopped
it will, says New York World, become
contagious, and will continue until
the weather is fine enough to go out
side. The best method of prevention
is to give the fowls plenty of occupa-
ton. If the floor of the house is Of
earth it should be dug over and made
fine, and the food scattered over it.
This will give the birds some work
to do to obtain all the grain
and food, and in scratching over
the ground searching for IL
they win get plenty of exercise.
Where the floor is of cement or other
solid material, straw scattered over IL
will give the poultry plenty of work to
scratch in it to find their food. Plenty
of vegetable food should also be given.
If cabbage can be spared, one should
be hung up in the house for the birds
to pick at. Where these are not forth
coming, turnips, mangels or clover hay,
cut fine, will do very well. Meat scraps
are also good. Close confinement and
overcrowding are other causes that
conduce to feather eating. The former
can not always be avoided in a pro-
tracted and severe winter. Still there
are generally some days when the
poultry can be turned out for run,
even during a severe winter, for an
hour or two. Overcrowding, however,
can be avoided. 1t is better when
dividing the flock to keep the pullets
separate from the older hens. When
thus divided, if these latter have ac-
CURED any bad habits, the younger
birds will not have the opportunity to
learn them, which they probably would
II they were running together. WhSS
onIe an old bird has learned to -.
feathers it is almost hopeless to at
tempt a cure, and the best method OF
proceeding is to terminate her exist
ence. Every possible precaution, there
fore, should be taken to prevent birds
acquiring the habit. The habit may
be acquired among the fowls confined
In summer time as well as in winter il
they are not kept busy and provided
with plenty of exercise and green

LIVING IN A CHURCH.
United States Senator Occupies Ono
Us n Residence.

ns n Residence.
An ex-senator of the United States
lives in a church in Washington, and
seems to like it. The peculiar thing
about it is that the church in question
is still in condition which would per-
nit of the words of truth being ut
tered every Sunday from the sacred
desk, and that the ex-senator is one of
the wealthiest men in Washington.
and could afford to dwell in the finest
mansion in the city, with all the re-
finements Of civilization. Everybody
knows the picturesque and vine-clad
little church on Massachusetts avenue,
at the intersection of Eighteenth and
p streets. Ex-senator Van Wyck, his
wife and young daughter have made it
their home.
Mrs. Van Wyck owns the property,
it having been bought by her husband
and presented to her as little after
dinner favor the day they re leav-
ing Washington for Neb,..--,A, ut tho
conclusion OF the latter's senatorial
career. 1t has been the scene of High
Church Episcopal and Swedenborgian
services, but lately has been idle.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Van Wyck came
here to attend TO repairs then in pro-
gress upon their own property. the
former suggested that they camp out
in their empty church. Mr.. Van
Wyck has a horror of mounting steps,
and thought it would be great scheme
to live on the ground floor. So they
moved to the church and divided of
the auditorium by imaginary lines
into parlor, bed rooms, dining room
and picture gallery. The pictures
they had stored away here in plenty,
and o shopping expedition quickly pro-
vided the necessary furniture. The
vestry was turned into kitchen, and
the shining pipes of the organ and
the decoration of the chancel helped
out the art gallery. Rugs, lamps.
small tables, easy chairs and sofas dot
the space all around, and papers and
books are in profusion.
With plenty Of servants and every
comfort possible, the household spends
the days very enjoyably in its novel
quarters.
