AN OLD PLOT.
But In This Case a Now Heroine Was
Worked In.

But In This Case a New Heroine Was
Worked In.
Young story-writeTs are apt to begin
a literary career by telling, in some form
or other, the story which follows. But
it must have taken real genius to make
a COW the heroine. This particular story
is attributed by the Philadelphia Times.
in which we find it, to Texas Iocomo-
tive engineer.
The engineer was running his train
at full speed, when, he says, his atten-
ton was attracted by COW which
seemed to be coming straight down the
track to meet the train. He put his
hand on the valve and pulled out three
sharp whistles.
every step, and acting altogether in an
osity as anything else. the engineer
slowed up and sent the fireman ahead TO
see what was the matter with the cow
No sooner did the cow see that the
speed of the train was slaclzening, and
that the fireman. was going to investi-
gate, than she turned and ran straight
back down the track, stopping now and
then, looking over her shoulder and
switching her tail as much as to say:
''Come on,''
The man followed, and by and by saw
the COW stop short at high trestle
Going up, he discovered another COW
which had got herself fastened in the
trestlework squarely across the rail-
As soon as the animal was released,
the two cows lost no time in scampering
away.

The oregon,s Trial Trip.

SAN Francisco, May s. = The new
battl-ship Oregon win make her trial
trip over the course staked out in the
Santa Barbara channel next Monday, if
the weather is favorable. She will leave
this harbor bound for the course tomor-
row morning.
The board of examiners, composed
largely OF officers of the Philadelphia, has
been made up. The United States coast
survey steamer Ge5ney has completed
the survey of the course.
Captain Minor Goodall says he will
try to make the Oregon excel the record
of the Indiana, her sister ship, which
gained a record of 1867 knots. From
his experience with the Oregon Wednes-
day and yesterday, he thinks she can
come closer to the 17-knot mark than
did the Indiana on her trial trip.
If he succeeds in beating the latter's
record the accomplishment will be ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the officers of the
Union iron works, not so much on ac-
count of the bonus of $25, 900 for every
quarter knot over the contract speed of
I5 knots, as that it will prove victory
for the Pacific coast over Cramp Bros,
of Philadelphia.
The Oregon plowed the waters of the
bay from Hunters Point to Red Rock
yesterday and attracted much attention.
Experienced tugboatmen who watched
her, say she attained above Ia knots an
hour.

What an Expert says of INSOMNIA.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the cx-
pert on brain diseases, holds that in
somnia is not attended with such dis
astrous consequences as is commonly
supposed. 1t is not as dangerous as
the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug-
gests that the brains of literary men,
who are the most frequent victims, ac-
quire the trick cf the heart, which
takes a doze of fraction of a. second
after each beat, and so manages to get
six hours rest in "a. Some brains, in

Competitors Crew to Be Court
martialed at Havana.
ALL ARE IN EXCELLENT SPLITS
How tho spaniards Tried to Force a
Confession---story OF Captain
Laborde.

New oRK, May S.-A dispatch to the
Herald, from Havana, says:
The crew of the Competitor will be
tried in the arsenal at 8 O'Clock this
morning. Five of the men were per-
mitted to send letter to the American
consul-general and to talk with one an
other last evening for the first time in
nine days.
When seen by your correspondent in
prison they were singing and talking
Spanish. Captain Alfredo Laborde
showed deep sores in his wrists, which
were cut by ropes. He said:
s'They tried to force me to make some
sort of confession. assured them
that had told the truth from the out
set, and though they tried to make it ap-
pear that had knowledge of everything,
was really victim. l had a wrecking
license. permitting general freight and
passenger business and sponge fishing
along the Florida coast. though from a
distance special custom house papers are
necessary. I Iarranged to carry "a pas
sengers from Key West to Lemon City,
and we started at night. When near
Cape Gable, the leaders, Colonel Monson,
one Tagurde, and five others, came into
the cabin. They said they had ex-
pected to reship for Cuba.
'tThey ordered me to sail about until
it came, but refused, and they seized
the boat, saying:
''Well, we will do as we see fit
"They had pilot of their own and
compelling US to be silent by threats,
they steered for the Cuban coast. 1 re-
ceIved only 50 for each man and never
thought that would carry them SO far
When we reached the coast and had
almost unloaded the Cubans ashore, a
Spanish gunboat appeared and began
firing. sent the mate to raise the
American flag, but the Spaniards kept
shooting at him until he turned below.
There was a quantity of dynamite on the
deck, and fearing an explosion, we got
into the water to keep at safe distance.
The gunboat continued to fire at US,
though we did not resist.''
William Golden, the mate, is an Eng
lishman. Captain Laborde says he has
been naturalized, Onajillon, another
prisoner, is a native of Kansas. He
says he became a correspondent for a
Jacksonville paper and this was his first
newspaper work. He had been waiting
some time for chance to secure a boat
for Pinar del Rio, he says.
''Did you expect to land in Cuba from
the Competitor?' I asked.
ST expect to land and transfer" he
answered.
Captain Laborde turned and re-
marked:
''That is the only thing for which 1
blame you, for not telling me in ad-
vance,
81 wonder what became of the three
others of the crew who were captured, p
he continued tThey are not here. I
fear they are dead. Only two of the
crew are here besides myself and the
mate"
The owner of the Competitor is Joseph
Wells, of Key West.
