NOT A BRILLIANT EXHIBITION.
Leaguers Make Rather Poor Showing at
Tebeau Benefit.

The benefit game on the Deering
ground yesterday afternoon drew small
audience, and from benefit standpoint
was slim. The game itself was uninter

Portlands, who neither played for
practice nor to win, while On the other
hand their opponents worked hard and
were rewarded by victory. defeating
the Leaguers by a score of to f. There
was some good material on the picked
nine. Kilfeder's piokups and throwing
were OF high order, and the batting of
Wilson and Edgar was flne each making
four hits. In fact the hole nine showed
up well, and would make strong COM
bination against any non professional
club. The Portiands made easy work of

the game. McDougall passed the time

And so the days sped by, each succeed

alluring future. In early spring, when the
buds were sprouting on the trees and the

Lieutenant Berry Gets More
Than One From Captain
Healy.
IN GOLD LACE AND GEWGAWs.
The Prosecution Still Receiving Tes-
timony-Probable Duration of
the Investigation.

Sleek uniforms of navy blue broadcloth,
glorifed by yards of gold lace, relieved
by white gloves, made yesterday fore
noon on the upper floor of the United
States Appraisers building quite like
dress rehearsal of some naval drama.
Within the uniforms were human beings,
but they were dumb so far as the Healy in
vestigation was concerned Any question
on. that topic was Immediately met by
CLASSY stare which would have been terri
flying had it not been rather amusing. The
highest casks, however, are said to have a
little leak, and so this very tight and secret
semi-martial, semi-naval investigation lets
out some few driblets of information,
meager it is true, yet sufficient to give the
great public some slight linking of what is
going on.
Proceedings commenced shortly after 10
o'clock. Captain Healy was looking lit
tie bored, as well he might, since he had
been informed that the maritime custom
ouse dress parade would probably last at
least three weeks longer. The witnesses
were not allowed to hear each others testi-
mony, being introduced one by one into
the judicial chamber, which was guarded
by formidable individual brandishing q
yet more formidable bayonet.
Captain Tozier of the United States Rev
enue cutter Grant requested that his testi-
mony of the preceding day be read over to
him by the stenographic reporter, which
being done, he corrected some few inaccu-
racles which had crept into the transcript,
and was allowed to depart in peace.
Second Lieutenant Berry of the same
vessel was then placed on the stand. He
gave lurid word-picture OF the veteran
captains gay demeanour on the memoir
able night in September when he was be-
guiled into accepting an offer Of hospitality
from the commander of the British gum
boat Pheasant. The witness further stated
that Captain Healy had been drunk on
several other occasions to his personal
knowledge.
Are you sure he was drunk2" was
asked.
He looked drunk" was the response.
'iBut was he drunk?' the question came
with peculiarly incisive persistency.
He acted drunk" rejoined the witness
in evident perplexlty.
"Ah," was the suave reioinder. "Then
what you meant to say, being under oath,
was that the captain looked and acted as
though he might be somewhat under the
influence of spirits. Go on.
The lieutenant then proceeded to state
that one evening the captain walked off
the wharf at Unalaska.
NOW tell us, lieutenant" (the voice was
singularly genial and even silvery in tone),
Ibid the captain really mean to walk off the
wharf? For, if he did, he would be guilty
OF attempted suicide"

The old club had for its objects the edu-

but the plan of education was but poorly
defined and poorly carried out, and as
result the membership dwindled down to
less than quarter of the former NUM- er
These remaining members at their last
meeting in December, 1895, decided upon
the plans for the reorganization.
A circular for distribution among the
members of the department has been pre-
pared. 1t announces the reorganization

A Physician Tells How the Aflment
May Be Prevented


May Be Prevented
A great number of people who can never
cross the ocean without being Frustrated
by sea-sickness have come to look upon
every reported cure for that distressing
malady as delusion and a snare. Whether
the latest remedy, or rather preventive. is
more efficacious than the rest remains
to be proved. Dr. a. D. Rockwell saws il
is. He asserts that the reason so little
attention has been paid TO sea-sickness. es-
peclally by those not subject to it. is that
there was fallacious idea that to be sea-
sick did person good, that it cleared out
the system, and, therefore, nature should
be allowed to take its course. DIR. Rock
well holds that there is neither advantage
in nor need of the ailment. 1t must be
prevented, and the battle of prevention
must be fought on land before sailing. Fol-
three days before the voyage doses of bro
mide of sodium must be taken-in prefer
ence to bromide of potassium-and this
course must be continued for three or four
DAYS after sailing. One pleasant effect of
this bromization is the sound and refresh
ing nature of the sleep it induces. The
dose recommended by DIR. Rockwell is
thirty grains of bromide of sodium three
times day for three days before the
voyage and for three or four DAYS after
! starting. He has invariably found this
treatment an absolute preventive, and has
crossed the English Channel on very
rough voyage without the slightest dis
comfort from the motion of the ship. In a
paper on this subject before a medical
society DR.. Rockwell tells of man who
was in the habit of crossing the ocean two
or three times year on business, and who
dreaded the recurring trips on account of
| sea-sickness. After he had tried the bro
mide treatment he wrote to say that for the
first time in his experience he had crossed
without discomfort. DR.. Rockwell. states
that he has never found any evil effects
from the use of the bromide of sodium
taken for the prevention of sea-sickness.-

tepee OF his prospective father-in-law were
growing less frequent, and that Wakoo.
nah's face was growing thin and careworn.
She no longer joined in the dance with the
other maidens and her gay and happy
manner had changed to the settled calm
OF sadness. Her hollow eyes and listless
mien told more plainly than words that
her time was spent in mourning.
Some said ii was only a lovers quarrel
and would result in a closer knitting of
the bonds that bound their hearts together,
but the knowing ones solemnly shook
their heads and limited that all was not
known.
One glorious night IN midsummer, as
the full moon was just rising above the
mountain tops, bathing the hills and glens
III a flood of soft, mellow light, Yokayo
stole from his tepee and with q panther
like step took the path that led to the
river. There was no sound to break
the death-like stiffness of the night
save the yelping of a distant coyote
mournful howl and gradually died
away, leaving absolutely no sound
to disturb the silence Of the night,
a premonition of evil caused the Indian to
lay his hand on the knife in his belt and
glance quickly around. There was no liv-
ing being in sight. Reassured, he walked
quickly on.
The eyes of love are keen. Behind him
stole the muffled form of woman. Light
was her step as the step of the wildca
stealing upon her prey.
The brave went on his way with no
thought of the Nemesis on his trail. Now
he came to where the path leads down the
mountain to the river. In the light of the
moon 1t appeared to be long silver rib
BON stretched throughout the valley. But
Yokayo's thoughts were not on the beauty
OF the scenery. Leave that to him whose
mind IS not enthralled by love. Soon he
