right Off" Being comparatively
sober, after having been shut up in
Holloway, she declared tearfully that
she was in possession of her proper
Senses" and yelled that sending her to
an asylum was a high-handed outrage.
Jane Cakebread holds the woman's
record in the annals of English crime,
and she is proud of it. Though never a
felon, she has actually been convicted
2S0 times, mostly on charges of drunk
and disorderly." The English police
records have never known of any wom-
an so utterly irreclaimable. Not fem
mime trait seems to be left in this hag-
gard and bestial old woman.
The only wonder is that she has not
drank herself to death long before this.
For probably the best part of 65 years
she has been day and night soaking her
system with alcohol. Her favorite
drink has been gin, though she has not
disdained any other beverage, her capa-
city for beer being abnormal when
nothing stronger was offered.
She began to drink at five years of
age. Her parents were criminal and
rum-soaked. Petty thievery is the
most she has ever attempted, and in the
social sense she was never profession
al woman of the town. Her favorite
method of going to the police station
was strapped in a hand-barrow and
screeching at the top of her voice.

the time In and about the station. Before
leaving Lincoln Mr.. Bryan made brief
speech, In which he said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: In ordinary times
I would have desired to have had the noti-
fication take place at my home. But this Is
not an ordinary campaign, and felt that
the cause should rise above any personal de-
sires we might have, and therefore expressed
the desire to be notified In New York. 80
that our cause might be first presented IN the
heart Of what now seems to be the enemy's
country, but which we hope to occupy Pc
fore the campaign is over. I appreciate the
kindness which my neighbors have shown,

WHALES BATTLE WITH STEAMER.
Seminole, of the Clyde Line, Attacked by
the Sea Monsters.


the Sea Monsters.
With great dents in the plates on each side
and with some OF the delicate machinery in
the engine room disarranged the steamer
Seminole, of the Clyde line. arrived at Jack
sonville, Fla, from New York. The damage
to the vessel was the result of an encounter
with monster whales.
After passing Sandy Hook Purser r. E.
Morton says the steamer ran into school OF
whales. Soon six Of the monsters appeared
almost Under the ships bow and she crashed
into one of them.
The impact apparently broke the whales
back, and it began to spout blood. Then
the officers and passengers witnessed re-
markable sight.
The whales drew off short distance and
dashed madly against the vessel, causing her
to tremble from stem to stem. The whales
repeated this performance four times. and at
each collision the Seminole quivered as II
about to 60 to the bottom.
Many Of the passengers were hurled to
the deck and bruised. Several women
tainted. So terrible was the shock that
some Of the furniture in the saloon was
broken from its fastenings.
The whales wore badly injured by the
collision, and after the fourth rush drew
away spouting blood. They tried to come
again, but moved slowly because Of their
injuries, and the vessel soon distanced them.
1t was feared the Seminole was badly dam
aged, but examination showed only the
superficial injuries mentioned. The passen-
gers say the whales were nearly 100 feet in
length.

Before the drop of the gavel there was
some talk that Watson would take an ag-
gressive attitude and might lead bolt OF
the Georgia Populists from Bryan, thereby
making it possible that another National

reason for such a bolt would have been
found In Sewal's refusal to withdraw.
AS the convention progressed. however,
Watson assumed y conciliatory though firm
attitude. He insisted that the Populist

Japan and America must decide it. "If."
