SKILL REWARDED.

Voyage Money for the Masters OF
Swift Sailing Vessels.
Once upon a time, says an exchange
shipmasters stood to win large sums in
the event of a quick passage. Voyage
money is not unknown even now A
curious custom prevails on the Pacific
coast. Every master of a sailing ship
making the round voyage between San
Francisco and Nanaimo, B. c., in less
than 80 days receives a suit of clothes
as an incentive. The ship Elwell, Cap
tain Ryder, has just recently completed
the voyage in somewhat under Is days
To beat the record means an additional
present of 500 for the lucky master
The previous record voyage was that of
the bark Wilmer, 16 days and 6 hours.
Captain Ryder has six times made
record voyage, and still more frequent
ly arrived in San Francisco again under
80 days.

SPOTS OF RUST.
They Were but Trihes, but They Helped
to Unravel Murder Mystery.

They Were but Trihes, but They Helped
to Unravel a Murder Mystery.
Chicago had chief Of detectives 10
or 16 years ago who compared in many
respects with the best European talent.
He did some work which for neatness
and adroit application was equal to
anything that Gaboriau invented
have in mind now murder case in
which he figured. Some unknown per-
son had shot farmer living few miles
out of Chicago through the heart. The
murder happened in the dead of night
and the victim was decoyed out Of the
house to meet his death.
A dull witted farmland had been
discharged by the dead man, and was
then working in Chicago. This fellow
was promptly placed under arrest. a
pawn ticket for a revolver was found in
his pocket. 1t was cheap weapon, and
very little significance was attached to
the fact that the man should have own
ed it and pawned it at that particular
time. He gave reasonable account of
his movements on the night of the
crime and the murdered mans wife
was firm in her protestations that she
had not seen him for weeks.
During the inquest, however, the de-
tectives observed that the bullet which
came out of the dead mans heart was
marked in a peculiar way. 1t had
scratches on one side, as though there
were defects in the pistol from which it
was fired. Examination of the revolver
found in the pawnshop showed two
spots of rust in the chamber near the
muzzle The detectives fired the weapon
three times into barrel Of water, and
the balls were marked exactly like the
bullet that killed the farmer. A num-
Der of other pistols of the same make
/ and caliber were obtained and subject
| ed to the same test, but none of the 9th
er bullets was marked in the same
manner as those from the farmland s
! pistol. 1t appeared, therefore, that the
latter weapon had been used in killing
the man, but, while the detective skill
that discovered this damaging fact was
loudly extolled, shrewd lawyers got
hold of the case for the defense and sue
ceeded in getting the man acquitted
