Mr. John c. Harmony secretary BRYAN
Silver Club, Canton, Ohio:
My Dear Sir. I am in receipt Of your
message. conveying greetings from the
members of your club, and beg to assure

support The fact that those of your citi-
Zens who believe that the United States is
strong enough to have a financial policy of
Its own are willing to array themselves
against towrsman of high character and
great personal worth indicates the depth OF
their convictions Whenever a great issue
arises the American people always prove
their independence and moral courage
characteristics without which self-govern-
ment is impossible. 1t gratifies me to know
that the silver sentiment in its growth is
disregarding party lines. Yours truly.

1t Had Been Left By the Sailors OF the
ErAeSt.

Ernest.
NEW YORK. August 5.-The German oil
tank steamer Mannheim, Captain Ockel-
mann. which arrived this morning from
Geestemunde. had quite an eventful
passage. The steamer sailed July ., in
ballast. and encountered fresh westerly
winds and head seas until the 9th, when
the wind shifted to W. 8. W. and began
to blow a whole gale. About o'clock in
the evening. in latitude 4a4R, longitude
2.4s. bark was sighted flying signals Of
distress. She was hove down to port and
appeared to be in danger OF capsizing.
Captain Ockelmann approached the derelict
as closely as he could, and sailed around
her several times. blowing the steam
whistle continually, but no signs OF life at
first appeared. After some little time a
large black dog was noticed rushing fran
tically about the deck and barking in great
excitement
Although there was dangerous sea run
ring. Captain Ockelmann decided that 1t
would be well to board the bark and as
certain some definite particulars about her.
He could make out her name to be the
Ernest and that she was German. A boat
was lowered, and rowed close to the bark.
Taking advantage of q favoring lurch Of
the vessel, the mate of the Mannheim man
aged to scramble upon her deck and ran in
to the cabin to ascertain IL there was any
body left on board. 1t was evident that the
vessel had been but lately abandoned, and
there were on every hand evidences OF q
hasty departure. There was no sign Of life
visible except the big black dog. who kept
up a joyful barking and jumping around
the mate in the most eager manner.
As the vessel was evidently doomed.t
there being nearly ten feet of water in the
hold, the mate decided to set fire to her, so
that she might not become a menace to
navigation. as she lay directly in the path
OF the transatlantic liners. A huge fire
was built in the after cabin. and picking up
the ships papers and calling to the black
dog, the mate made his way over the side
and into the lifeboat. accompanied by the
dog. The last seen Of the Ernest was
me IS OF flame pouring out OF the compan-
Ion matches of the after cabin.
On arrival in quarantine this morning.
Capt. Ockelmann was much interested to
learn that the crew of the bark had been
rescued by the French liner La Bourgogne
earlier on the same day on which he board
ed her The dog. very intelligent New
1ouLdland. was running around the Mann
helms deck, apparently happy and con-
tented.
Another incident during the Mannheim's
passage was of tragic nature. Among
the firemen shipped at Geestemunde was a
German named Carl tanner. aged thirty
nlne.' He was under the influence of
liquor when he came aboard, and soon de-
Veloped delirium tremens. Capt. Ockel
mann ordered him confined in the hospital,
which is q small room under the forecaStle
deck. He was very Respondent during his
lucid intervals. and for fear that he might
injure himself all weapons were taken
away from him. On July 81. however
eluding the watchfuness Of his guard he
uEdid the lacing of his clothes bag and
hanged himself to the door-frame. He was
soon discovered. but too late to be restor-
ed He was buried at sea on August /.

The Nutmeg.
New Haven, Conn.

For many years the Dutch monopo-
lized all the nutmeg trade, as they
owned the Banda Islands where the nut
meg trees are most abundant, as, in
their injury to the Molucca Islands,
with the usual unscrupulousness of those
with whom "might makes right" they
conquered all the traders and destroyed
their trees. Some years ago the follow
ing statement was copied from the Bos-
ton Journal of Commerce:
CAT one time, in an unusually produc-
tive year, the Dutch in the Banda ISL
ands, to keep up the price, burned three
piles of nutmegs, each of which piles
was as large as church." The size of
these piles of nutmegs seems so incredi-
BILE that one would feel inclined to take
this statement with "a few grains of al
lowance" were not the Boston Journal
of Commerce known to be reliable au-
thority.
But this account goes on to say: ''Na-
ture did not sympathize with their
meanness. The Nutmeg Pigeon, which
abounds in all the Indian Islands, did
for the world what the Dutch deter
mined should not be done, carried the
nuts, which are their food, into all the
surrounding countries, and there they
took root and trees sprAng up, increased
and multiplied, and the the world is
now reaping the benefit of those spice
fed little birds action"
The real nutmeg tree grows to the
