HEROIC SAILOR GIRL.
How a Norwegian Maiden Saved Her
Fathers Ship.

now q norwegian MAIDEN SaFeo hef
Fathers Ship.
Margaret Nelson, Is years old. is the
daughter of a Norwegian sea captain
who lately sailed from Wales for Nova
Scotia Margaret had made several voy-
ages in her fathers vessel before, so
that she was at home on the sea. For
company she took with her a water
spaniel, big black cat and half dozen
rabbits.
y heavy storm came on, and the ship,
which was % years old, sprung a bad
leak, and soon all hands who could be
spared from the management of the YES
sci were put at the pumps.
Margaret herself, seeing that her IA
Their could not be everywhere, took a
hand at the pumps and encouraged the
men. But the storm rose higher and
higher; the men could not pump the
water out as fast as it came in. The
ship was gradually filling. Huge waves
rolled over the deck.
Then Margaret, still seeking to the
pumps, began to sing. Her father had
taught her many of the old Morse sagas,

Mr.. W. s.. Harwood contributes TO
St Nicholas a sketch of Joseph Francis,
the inventor of the life-boat. Mr.. Har-
wood says: He had been received one
day by the car at dinner. The car
was fond of witnessing experiments
with new inventions, and Mr.. Francis
was asked out into a room opening
from conservatory where an inventor
with some new-fangled force-pump
was going to give an exhibition. After
they had seen the pump, the car took
hold of the nozzle of the pipe and
turned it in the direction of the ladies
of the court. who were in the con-
servatOry. Winking to Mr.. Francis, the
car, in mischief, gave them slight
sprinkling, begging pardon afterward
for his awkwardness.

ried the famous German actress, Anna
Wierer. and she, childless, took a fancy
TO her nephews and bequeathed to them
at her death her fortune, amounting to
several million dollars. This enabled
the boys to procure educational advan-
tages suitable 10 their rank, and upon
attaining the suitable age they adopted
politics as a pursuit and both achieved
success. Count Badenyi is distin-
guished for his jollity and is without
exception the most popular Pole at the
Niennese court. He is exceedingly
bald. with a WELCOMED Uranium, high
cheek bones, a fierce mustache, of me-
dunn but strongly-knit stature and
the air and bearing of patrician. He
has an imposing and pleasing presence.
His fortune, which he spends in the
most liberal manner, is estimated at
S2,500,OO0. whereas his younger brother,
who is less open-handed, and has just
been appointed in Casimir's place as
governor of the province of Austria PO-
land, is credited with fortune of four
times that amount. There is a good
deal of resemblance between the new
Austrian and the Hungarian prime
minister. Baron Banffy, who presides
over the council of ministers at Pesth,
is noble of relatively recent creation
and is married TO a village school
teacher. When it is realized that the
influential classes in both sections of
the dual empire are the proudest aris-
tocrats in Europe it will be understood
that the two prime ministers must be
men of much force of character to have
acquired their present positions

recounting the bravery of the sailors
ancestors, for they were all Norsemen.
Through the bowling Of the storm the
girls voice rose in those old songs. The
sailors, dropping with fatigue and loss
of sleep, and fighting a losing battle,
were urged on to heroic efforts by Mar
garet's example as well as by the
spirited words and music that she was
singing to them.
At last it became clear that the ship
must be abandoned; but the captain,
before ordering out the boats, lay down
and slept little, for he was at the end
of his strength.
Margaret went on singing and cheer
ing the men. As she worked, she spied
a sail in the distance. Signals of dis
tress were already up. They were seen
by the distant ship. 1t was a long time
before the sail, which was a brig bound
for New York, could come alongside,
and in the interval the Norwegian ship
was very near sinking; but at last Capt
Nelson, his brave daughter and ali his
men were taken of. and their vessel al
most Immediately went down.

Polish Cook
Count CasimIr Badenyi, prime min
ister of Austria, is literally favorite of
fortune. His father was a cook, but
no doubt a good one. for. though he
came with the queen from her Italian
home to Warsaw, he won the affections
of his new master, one of the last kings
of Poland, and was created count just
two years before the present premier
was born. But it was an empty honor
at the time, for the newly-made count
had no funds with which to maintain
the acquired dignity, and when his two
sons were born it looked as if they
would be obliged to earn their living.
But good luck interviewed. Their
mothers brother. Count Meir, had mar

OF the Olympic party finished at Four
teenth and Webster streets, Oakland,
within thirteen hours, a tired, dusty,
hungry but well-satistied party, for they
made the best ride of the day, being un-
paced by any tandems and relying solely
upon their own individual efforts.
The California Club men came strag-
Cling in all the afternoon. but all COM
pleted the trip. Reid and Mayer, on a
tandem, made the trip in ten and half
hours.
The Garden City Cyclers rode from San
Jose to Alvarado, then to Gilroy and back
to San Jose on their century ride, but it
could not be learned last night what time
they made.
There is considerable rivalry among the
club men as TO VINO shall ride the first
century" each year. Frank NJ. Byrne
takes the honor this year for an individ-
ual, while the Olympic Club wheelmen get
the credit of the best performance as a
club.
The San Francisco Road Club held a
most enjoyable entertainment at its club
rooms on Golden Gate avenue last even
ing. 1t was "ladies' night" with them
and the rooms were tastefully decorated,
while music and dancing served to make
the evening pass very enjoyably.
The park was filled with wheelmen all
day Yesterday, and it was pronounced one
OF the best days for riding that we have
ever had at this season of the year or any
other. The air was balmy, the roads good
and the sun was just warm enough to be
agreeable. Altogether it was charming
California winters day.

RAPID CENTURY RIDING,
The Olympic, Imperial and Cali
fornia Club Runs on New
Years Morning.
The Contestants Rode Hundred Miles
Around the Bay in Seven
Hours.

To ride 100 miles on bicycle within
seven hours is feat not a great many can
accomplish, and it is made the harder
when the roads are bad and the weather
disagreeable. Still, where club reputation
or glory is at stake, wheelman will do
almost anything, and when the Garden
City Cyclers of San Jose announced last
week that they would be the first ones to
ride q Century" or 100 miles, in 1896
some of the local clubs decided that they
would give them a rub for the honor at
any rate.
Promptly at midnight Tuesday three
parties left this City intent on riding to
San Jose and back on the Oakland side in
as short space of time as possible. The
Olympic Club Wheelmen sent out eight
men under comm and of VIII H. Haley.
They were George Tantau, H c. Ramsay,
r. r. Doescher, M. L. Espinosa, L. II.
Smith, ]. Waite, George Kroetz and W. H.
II. Haley. They started from Ninth and
Market streets and were soon off down the
San Bruno road.
At the same moment F. NJ. Byrne and
B. D. Blakeslee of the Imperial Cycling
Club left Van Ness avenue and Turk street,
paced by tandems.
Blakeslee recently rode from New York
to this point in record breaking time, and
Byrne is celebrated coast racer. Then
from Folsom and Twenty second streets
the California Cycling Club started Messrs.
Musser, Boyle, Mason, Hansen, BelIman,
Boyd, Williams, Van Dyne, Seipert, Reid
Grlffiths and Mayer on the same ride, and
they were soon all together on the bay
road.

ABDUCTED HER SISTER.
The Police Requested to Arrest May
Wagner, Who Is on Her Way to
Alaska.

Mrs. A. NJ. Brown of Berkeley reported
at police headquarters yesterday afternoon
that May Wagner had abducted her
younger sister, Helen, 13 years of age, and
she wanted the police to take steps to have
May arrested and brought back TO the City.
Helen was living with Mrs. Kenville, a
friend of Mrs. Brown. On Tuesday May
got her to accompany her TO the City
under the pretext of saying good-by to
another sister. Nav took her to the
steamer bound for Seattle and detained
her on board till the vessel called.
Mrs. kenville is informed that May in
tends to take Helen 10 her grandmother
in Alaska, who is 80 years of age. Helen
had good home with Mrs. Kenville and
reluctantly accompanied May to the City.
The police could do nothing and Mrs.
Brown telegraphed to the girls father,
who is in San Jose, asking him to come to
the City at once and swear out warrant
for Mays arrest on charge of abduction,
so that she can be caught when the boat
reaches Seattle.
The girls are daughters of c. T. Wag-
ner, former employe of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who was at one time in
comfortable circumstances. He lost his
position with the company and shortly
afterWard his wife died, which accounts
for Helen having been in the home OF Mrs
Kenville, who is a friend of the family.

is NOT A ROBBER.
Peculiar Features in the Case of W.
NJ. Morrison, Miner From
Trinity County.


The case of w. Nj. Morrison, charged
with robbery, has some peculiar features
IN 1t and the probability is that Judge
Joachimsen will tomorrow dismiss it.
Morrison was arrested on Christmas
night. He was in saloon on Washington
and Montgomery streets when man
named James Kilby from Montana alleged
that he had been robbed of his watch and
purse containing $13. Kllby was consid-
erably under the influence of liquor at the
time and he charged Morrison, who had
Just left the saloon, with robbing him.
The watch and purse were found upon
Morrison, but be asserted that he got them
from Kilby himself, who was afraid of
losing them.
When the case came up before Judge
Joachimsen on Tuesday several prominent
citizens testified to Morrison's good char
acter and tomorrow several more viii
come forward in his favor.
Morrison was, until six weeks ago, super
intendent of quicksilver mine in Trinity
County. He was compelled to come to
the City for medical attendance, as the
action of the quicksilver had shattered his
system. He is scarcely able to stand and
his teeth are quite loose. He is well con-

Jose, reaching there at $3.50 A. NJ. yester-
day. Byrne was twenty minutes behind
him, and the Olympics, who stayed to-
gether and assisted in making their own
pace, arrived at 5 o'clock, very creditable
ride.
The CALIFORNIA;. though separated in
some instances by miles from each other,
also got through by 5 o'clock.
Biakeslee was the first to leave San Jose
and got onto the wrong road. He found
his way again shortly, but his wheel broke
down at Iryington and he gave up the
ride. Byrne came shortly after him, and
his wheel also collapsed, but he got an
other from man named Lyons, a club
mate, and came through to Oakland, paced
by the Rice brothers on tandem, in
about seven hours, actual time.
George Tantau of the Olympic contin-
gent arrived within ten hours, and the rest
