North Bay, Ontario, Sept. 26.-Every
tourist should stop over at least a day
at the twin cities" at the head of
Lake Superior. Fort William and Port
Arthur. They are the western, terminus
of the Eastern Division" of this great
National. highway, and of its lake
steamship line, and that natural wat
er outlet for the immense quantities
of grain sent eastward from Manitoba
for the lake ports and Europe. Distance
from Montreal either by rail or over
the great lakes Is one thousand miles.
AS between Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam the Canadian Pacific railway
seems to discriminate in favor of the
latter port making it the chief dis
tributing point in connecting with it's
lake traffic, although the harbor facil-
tiles are decidedly in favor of the
former port.
Fort William Is pleasantly situated
on the banks of the deep, aud br1id
kaministiquia river which >Ows into

DEFENDS MR.. FITZPATRICK,
And Says the Poor Little Boys Jacket
Was Too Thin.

huu Gays Gne IVuI hlvtIo DOy OaOhOl
Was Too Thin.
To the Daily LIGHT:
In view of the severe structures
in your issue Of 9th inst, against
the principal OF school No. IL, we,
the teachers of that school, think
it only just to say in behalf OF Mr..
Fitzpatrick, that we have been as
ISOLATED with him as principal for
nearly two years, and we have
never known him to show any
brutal pleasure in whipping q
child; we have never known him
to kick a child, cuff him with his
fists, or put his foot upon him and
beat him with a stick, or in any
way to punish child, except In the
orthodox way; we have never
known him to have recourse to
other than the switches furnished
by the bushes that grow In the
neigh borhood OF the school yard.
That he may in one or two cases
have given too severe a punish
ment, was due not to any brutal
love OF collaborating, but to an I'M
due estimate as to the thinness Of a
child's clothing. 1t would not
take a very hard stroke, nor very
large stick, to make blue mark
through a little calico jacket.
Furthermore, we have heard him
deplore the fact that parents would
empower him to whip their chill
dren. In one instance, we have
known him positively refuse to
whip boy whose father had re-
quested it, because the boy was
delicate. The boy, on being asked
why he seemed disappointed, said
he would get very much harder
whipping at home.
This we have written, not by the
solicitation Of anyone, but from a
simple love Of justice.

BEEvILLE, Tex April 29.-[Spe-
cisl The revival conducted by
Rev. J. H. Collard is "hying." The
tabernacle was filled to its utmost
capacity Sunday morning, and the
evangelist preached good SER
mon. At 3 o'clock p. m. he held a
service for men only at the opera
house. The house was filled, seat
ing about 600 men and boys. He
took his text from Acts 1928, "Do
Thyself No Harm" In the course
of his talk he said: "God is not
going to harm you, for He takes
no pleasure in the death of any.
You wonder why you are not ad.
mitted to good society; society
will not harm you, but you dirty
hound, you are not fit for decent
society. Society should hold high
standard, and when you violate
its rules you should be ostracized.
Pure womanhood has nothing
against you. No, pure womanhood
demands purity of life in you,
that's all"
In all, the lecture was full Of
truth, earnestly delivered and very
effective. Nearly every man in
the house gave Bro. Collard his
hand to say that they approved
what he had said and that they in
tended to live better life.
A large congregation was pres
ent at the night service and very
powerful sermon resulted in sew
eral conversions and additions to
the churches. The meeting will be
protracted from day to day for a
few days longer.
Mr.. Collard will begin a meeting
at Corpus Christi next Friday
night.
The annual convention Of the
Episcopal church in Western
Texas will meet in San Antonio on
May 9th. The following will be

Says Mckinley Will Win on a Sound
Money and Protective Platform.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The Tri.
buue prints the following inter-
view with Senator Sherman:
"Will General Harrison be a
candidate for nomination by the
st. Louis conventionw Mr.. Sher-
man was asked.
"Not il he Is an honorable man.
replied the venerable senator,
grimly. "There is honor among
thieves, it is said. There should
be some among presidential candi-
dates. Why, General Harrison has
declined to be a candidate"
sis not Mr.. Harrison's case sim,
liar to James G. Blaine's when he
declined the nomination OF 1883 in
his Florence letter."
"Not at ALL" was the answer.
"Mr. Blaine was not in any sense
candidate either in 1888 or 1892.
He refused to be considered as such
1t was different in 1884. Then he
was an out-and-out candidate, and
was nominated"
"What do you think of McKin-
ley's chances" Will he BIO nomi-
mated on the first ballots"
81 do not know whether he will
be nominated on the first ballot or
not, but 1 think he will be nomi-
mated and elected, Senator Sher-
man said.
SIS there any truth in the re-
ports that you will be secretary Of
the treasury again IL Mckinley is
electedw
81 know nothing about that" re.
piled the senator. "TheTe is no
foundation for such stories. If Nc
Kinley has not sufficient wisdom
to accept the nomination without
conditions he is not fit to be presi-
dent"
Mr.. Sherman said that as far as
he could see, the friends of Sena-
tor Cullom would not be able TO
hold the delegates from that state,
but that the Illinois vote in the
convention would be cast for Nc
Kinley.
"What have you to say OF the
platform the republicans will
adopt at st. Louise
"rhe attitude OF the republican
party is well known" said the
senator. at will declare for
sound money and protection. 1t
is quite probable that the demo-
cratic platform will stand in the
opposite direction"
"Will the tariff plank suggest
the enactment of a Mckinley or
high tariff"
81 think it will do this" an
swered Mr.. Sherman, ait will de-
mand a tariff sufficient to protect
American industries, and give
enough revenue for the expenses
of the government, neither Of
which the democratic tariff has
done"
Mr.. Sherman said he thought
congress would adjourn about June
lst, and that there would be no
more important legislation this
session

AN AMERICANS TALE.
He Enlisted in the Cuban Army, was
Captured and Escaped.

Captured and Escaped,
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April o.
Walter S. Whitcomb, of this city,
who enlisted with the Cuban in
surgents and made his escape from
the famous Moro castle, just
outside of Havana, by means OF a
rope, has returned to his home and
tells an interesting story Of his ex.
perience while in the army Of the
Cubans.
He was walking the streets
of Jacksonville, Fla, when his at
tention was attracted by squad Of
Cuban patriots, each bearing a
white silk banner designating that
they were in search of men to en-
list for the war. His adventurous
spirit seized him and he enlisted
for the cause, receiving $l5O at the
outset in American currency. Six
other recruits enlisted with them.
They took the sailing tug "P. j.
Jackson" and landed at Del Rio,
where they were met by twenty
men from the insurgent camp I'M
der. the command OF Antonio
Maceo. The party went at once to
the rebel camp. Whitcomb re-
manned in the rebel camp five
weeks. This camp was 80 miles
from Havana and contained about
$4,000 insurgents. The patriots
were well grounded, Whitcomb
says, in the military tactics and
devoted most OF their time to drill
work. While in camp Whitcomb
suffered an attack OF fever and
upon his convalesence he was
given a pass through the lines to
Havana. When within twenty
miles of that city he fell into a
camp of Spanish soldiers. They
captured him and bound him hand
and foot to tree. There were
several Cubans captured with him
and they were tied in a like man.
ner. He spent the night thus
bound. In the morning the Cubans
were gone, killed by Spaniards.
Whitecomb was taken to Moro
castle in company with the other
prisoners. At night he was con-
fined in the great dingy tower but
during the day time was permitted
to the freedom of the yard. There
were about sixty prisoners in the
castle including twelve Americans.
Whitecomb had $l60 with him
when imprisoned, which he had
succeeded in concesling in his
shoes. Be bribed the guard as
signed to watch his cell, giving
him $50 for 40 feet Of rope with
which to escape from the tower,
then he fastened this rope to a
stone and swung it into the Gulf
of Mexico. A boat was anchored
nearby. He swan out to it and
under cover OF night drifted out.
He was picked up by the Adrian,
bound for Florida, coast. The cat
boat was taken in tow and upon
reaching Florida Whitcomb sold it
for $50. Whitcomb found employ
ment in the Royal Ponciano hotel
where he remained until his de.
parture for this city. Whitcomb
J says that in Cuba he encountered
500 men from Oklahoma, who
came in answer TO an advertise
ment that men were wanted there
to engage in duck shooting.

con Point is very rocky. Upon this stretch
of coast the sea breaks heavily. Rocks lie
off the beach in dangerous array.
The light is what is known as the first
order. 1t gives a white fash every ten
seconds and in the night can be seen from
Point Bonita on the North Head. The fog
signal buildings are on the western point
of the cape. The whistles are OF the COM
mon locomotive type, one of them being a
ten-inch and the other twelve-inch dome.
Fogs come up suddenly at Pigeon Point
and during the winter the whistles will
often be kept going for days at a time. At
such times the fires are banked in the
boilers when the fog lifts, but ordinarily
they are simply laid ready TO light at
moments notice. Wood is used at first
and the boilers are so constructed that
steam can be raised in less than forty min
utes. If the Jog should come up very sud-
denly and vessels are known to be near
bell is tolled until one of the whistles is
blown.
Because of the fogs and the treacherous
currents in its vicinity, Pigeon Point has
always been considered very dangerous
locality and the cautious marines give it a
wide berth. IL is said that since 1894
twenty wrecks have occurred on the point
or In its immediate vicinity. Most of the
! disasters, however, occurred before the
| lighthouse was erected, in 1872. The point
| takes its name from the clipper ship Car
rler Flgeon, Whlcn was lost there In the
early fifties.
Opposite the same point on December
| 20, 1887, the. steamer San Vicente was
burned. Eleven of the officers and crew
took to the boats, but IN attempting 10
u, axe landing were drowned. The mas
ter and second officer and some of the
men stood by the ship and were rescued.
The Mail Company officials lost no time
in seeking information as to the probable
cause of the disaster. They called upon
several captains of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Com pany, who know the coast, but
they could get very little information.
