1t is not often that ship has been in
charge of woman. The wife OF the
captain of the jefferson Borden took
her husbands watch occasionally when
the vessel WI; shor. handed after the
mutiny and murder OF the officers. In
1869 the ship Dennlaris was brought
into port bv t..cc :a5tiin's wife, the cap
tain himself being laid up and in
capable OF doing anything except give
advice. Another striking illustration
of woman's capabilities in the seafar-
ing line is afforded by the case of the
bark Rebecca Crowell, which left. New
York for Buenos Ayrcs, but became
disabled during severe gale three
days after leaving. Several of the
spars and sails were carried away, and
the captain and first mate were injured
to such an extent that they were con-
/ fined to their berths the rest of the
voyage and rendered unfit to manage
the vessel.
There was no other person on board
who understood navigation except the
captains wife, and she undertook the
task OF conducting the bark to the
point of destination. The second mate
was young man twenty years old,
able to take the helm, but ignorant of
the process OF making observations.
The captains wife, therefore, as
sumcd the command of the vessel, took
observations. calculated the latitude
and longitude regularly, maintained
her place on the poop, and directed the
course of the vessel. After exercising
control for iifty-eight days, during
which the vessel encountered violent
gales and shipped heavy seas, she con-
Quoted the vessel, with its valuable
cargo safely into the port of Buenos
Ayres. In this actual impersonation Of
"thc sweet littie angel that sits up
aloft to keep watch for the life of poor
Jack" the captain of the Rebecca
Crowell was indeed fortunate in his
matrimonial venture.

Was Bu-Dez. TO Death.
| The manufacture OF distilled spirits.
| locally known as hoocliinoo, has been
carried on by the natives OF Alaska for
long period, and at times during the
early days of the Cassier excitement it
was freely purchased by the white min
| ers as the. only liquor obtainable, owing
! to the strict enforcement OF the prohibit
tory clause against the Importation of
| liquors into the territory, says the
Alaska Mining Record. uooahinoo is
nothing more or less than raw alcohol,
being distilled mainly from brown su-
gar or tnolasses aud corn r,eal. Undi-
luted the stuff has n double proof
strength, makes drunk come" freely
and but few swallows of it will set a
man bowling in demoniac glec, and
nothing but an Indian, with his copper
lined stomach, can stand protracted
spree on it.
The Kako Indians probably lead all
others in the manufacture of these
spirits and Us proof of their knowledge
of the art of making n double proof
article. we give the particulars OF the
awful fate of an expert Kaiio distiller
which happened re ,ently on that island.
1t seems that thi; Indian, while en-.
gagged in the mnnipnl ltion of his little
coal oil can still, irnbibcd too freely of
it's tricl,lings and in drunken stupor
lay down by his fire OF cedar logs and
fell asleep, with his face uncoinforta-
bly, near the. fire and his breath fan
ming the flames. Through some reason
known only TO the medical fraternity
gas accumulated in the stomach and
the breath OF the sleeper reaching the
flames the alcohol gas ignited. The
sleeper suddenly leapod to his feet
with terrifying scream and fell back
writhing in agony. The man was burn
ing internally. Smoke and even flames
We're issuing from his mouth and his
agony WAS something awful. His load
screeches brought the members of the
camp about him, who looked on in
silent, tcrror-striclsen awe, unable to
do anything for his relief. The com
bustion continued until the Indian was
literally consumed inside and for some
time after the spirit of life had fed.

| owing to the multitude of tickets in the
field and delay in receiving the returns
from Williams Fork precinct, the work
is not completed yet; so THE HERALD
will not be able to give the official count
this week. The delay in arrival of
Williams Fork vote was caused by the
bungling Of some Yampa river post
master who sent the returns to Hahn's
Peak, instead of to Meeker. The latter
named Office has reported the matter to
Washington, and as the package was
registered, there will be no trouble In
tracing up the delinquent official. An
other cause for delay is the hitch that
has arisen in regard to counting the vote
for commissioner. AS the returns
stand, Mclaughlin is one vote ahead
of Critchlow, but there were two ballots
cast at Buford for Critchlow, which
were not counted, owing, it seems, to
doubt on the part of the election Judges
as to whether the ballots In question
came within the scope of the law so as
to be counted. This matter is to be
looked into before the count is COM
pleted. BY next issue, we expect to
have the official count to lay before our

''marmor," by which name similar
things were known to the boys OF
1000 years ago. Some marbles are
made Of potter's clay, and baked in

Gold In Deer Teeth.

Stories have been told about the
finding Of gold in the crops of chick
ems, in the stomachs of fishes, be-
tween the toes of wolves and in a
variety of odd places, but Frank
Dixon, taxidermist of this city, is
the first to find gold on the teeth of a
wild deer. This story sounds i'm
probable, but it is true.
Mr.. Dixon received recently from
Colorado a couple Of deer heads to be
mounted The first thing be did was
to skin the heads. He noticed in
handling the skulls that the rows of
teeth we're incrusted with brownish
yellow substance In the crevices
between the teeth the incrustation
was heaviest and sparkled when held
to the light. Mr.. Dixon knew the
deer were killed in part OF Colorado
where gold dust had been found.
He scraped some of the incrustation
from the teeth and took it to his friend,
Shirley Millet, dentist DR.. AIillet
tested it with chemicals and said it was
gold. Mr.. Dixon scraped off lot more
and took it to Mr.. Lawrence, assay
ist Then the taxidermist wrote to
Colorado and found out the exact
spot where the deer were shot and he
began to make preparations to close
out his business here and go there to
hunt for gold.
"My theory about this thing is
this, (" said Mr.. Dixon. Every herd
of deer has salt lick somewhere,
where they go occasionally to lick
the earth for the salt there is in it.
The herd never wanders far away
from this lick. The soil Of the lick
that was used by these two deer was
full Of gold dust, and the acid of the
deers' mouths held it and inerusted
it on the teeth. Or, perhaps, the
gold was picked up by the deer in
browsing. Kansas City Star.
