AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.
The CoIored Cook with Homic!daI
Mania.


Mania.
a dispatch from Brisbane of
the 9th inst.in The Australian Star,
Sydney, tells the following story
of terrible time on board a ship
on the high seas:
An extraordinary story of MUIR
der and suicide on the high seas
is told by the captain and crew OF
the ship Blengfell, which arrived
Yesterday afternoon from New
York. The perpetrator was an
American negro named John
Godfrey, cook of the ship. This
individual fell i'll on August l,
and remained in his bunk till
August Is, when he told the cap
tain he was about the same. That
night he was seized with a homi-
cidal mania, and, possessin. him
self of a revolver, attempted to
shoot the crew. He found two
sailors, j. Silva and w. Wicks,
asleep in their hunks, aud put
several bullets into each Of them,
but not with fatal effects. The two
men succeeded in getting away
and, bleeding from their wounds,
rushed to the saloon, where they
told the captain what had happen
cd. The later Immediately rushed
on deck, armed with a revolver,
and was at once fired at by
Godfrey, who called out, You'll
shoot me, will you." He had in
the meantime shot another sailor
named Samuel Lewis with fatal
effect. Godfrey took up his place
in the forecastle, and next morn.
ing, whsn an effort was made to
dislodge him, he came out. Shots
were exchanged on both sides
without effect. The ship Marie
Hackfeld was sighted during the
day, but was unable to supply the
crew with firearms. The
siege in the forecastle
was kept up all day
but although shots were exchang.
ed at intervals nothing resulted
Watch was kept all next day, but
Godfrey remained strangely quiet
On August Is a party went for
ward to the forecastle, to find tina
the murderer he'd disappeared
having evidently jumped over
board. He left behind a writer
statement, in which he said he
had intended to kill both the mel
he wounded, and asked that hi,
effects should be thrown aftel
him.

Wanted Hcr Husbands Opinion About
Many Trivial Points of Dress.
A certain up town Clevelander is the
happy possessor Of a marital interest in
very pretty and accomplished lady.
She is fond Of nice clothes and always
looks we'll dressed, and her husband is
Just as proud of her as he should be.
But from q technical point Of view he
knows nothing whatever about her gar
nents, and IL bothers him greatly when
The assumes that he does. She fires
broadsides Of questions at him when
ever she is dressing to accompany him.
George, how does my skirt hang?"
"Is it too long in front9" Does my
belt cover the pins?'' "Do you think
this gown Is becoming?' ''Is my collar
down at the back2" "Are there any
wrinkles In this waistf'' 'Is my hat on
straight?'' These and hundred other
interrogations are fired at him at short
intervals. II he doesn't pay close atten-
ton she gets CROSS SO he pretends to
listen carefully. and answers glibly, al
though always ut random.
The other day neat way Of getting
even dawned upon him. When no was
dressing that night for party, he sud-
denly called his wife from the adjoining
room.
Alma" he said, "do you think
these new trousers hang Just as grace
fully as they shouldF'
"Why. George" she said. II don't
know anything about IL. Why do you
bother mei"
Hold on" said George, "I was
wondering IL this shirt bosom sits quite
rightf"
"Of course It does." snapped Alma.
"And these shoes-do you really
think they are becoming to my COM
plexioni'
"what silly question.
"And-hold on. Alma-isn't the coat
o little long in the tails-on one side. I
mean-and can't you pin IL up,'
"Why, George. I never heard you
talk such nonsense. You haven't boon
drinking. have yous'
"And-just wait q minute. Alma. I"
He quickly raised his silk hat from the
dresser and clapped it on the back Of
his head. Nov, dear, please pay at
tention. Is my hat on strsights"
Then she understood his wicked little
game.
They walked together in silence until
they came within sight Of their destina-
tion, and the deeply wounded Alma
managed to stammer:
"Well, George, you mean old thing,
is my hat really and truly on straight?'
Whereat they both laughed. -Cleve-

"STONE OF SCONE."
The Enterprising schooiboy Who Slept In
the Coronation Chair.

The Entcrprising schoolboy Who Slept In
the Coronation Chair.
It il long walk from the dining
room of the Westminster school to the
coronation chair, which stands behind
the old stone screen just back Of the
altar in the abbey, but there is an in
teresting Connection between the two.
This chair, as is we'll known, is rude,
heavy oak chair, much worn by time.
1t contains the "Stone of Scone" and
was made by the order Of Edward I in
1897. and every English sovereign since
then has sat in it to be crowned.
A stout railing in front of the chair
restrains the crowd of visitors from
coming near, but If they were allowed
to examine it as closely as was for
tunate enough to do they would find
cut boldly into the solid oak seat in
such sprawling letters as the school
boys knife makes upon his desk, ''P.
Abbott slept in this chair Jan 4, 1901"
p. Abbott, it seems, was Westminster
schoolboy. and a tradition. which there
is every reason to believe is true, tells
that he made wager with a school,
mate that he dare stay in the abbey all
night alone.
In order to win his wager he hid in
some corner of the old building until
the doors were locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that he
had won ii, he determined to have
some proof Of the fact, and so spent the
hours Of the early morning in carving
on the coronation chair the sentence
which, even now, nearly century aft
er, bears witness for him. 1t is disap.
pointing that the tradition does not
record just what form and amount of
punishment was visited upon the lad
for his escapade. and that history does
not tell US of his later years. wonder
whether the courage and grit which
this deed manifested foretold an ener-
getic, successful life or was dissipated

Opening an envelope by pulling a
string is the latest labor saving device
Like all simple contrivanoes. 1t seems
queer no one thought Of it before, but
that doesn't impair it's usefulness.
Any envelope can be equipped with
the opener. An ordinary piece Of thread
is inserted at the top Of the flap, and
when the fold is made the thread pro-
jects from one end. To open the en-

pull back the thread.

How Free Silver Would Effect the Debtors

Though the theory that free silver
coinage would help the debtors has been
widely accepted we believe it to be
erroneous. Mr.. Bryan and every other
free silver advocate have at least i'm
piled that debtors would be benefited
when they have claimed that gold has
appreciated in value and that unless We
have free coinage the debtor must pay
in better money than he borrowed
Then there have been others. who while
urging that gold has not appreciated,
and certainly the facts show that it
has not, declared that free coinage will
enable III" debtor to pay his debts in
dollar worth but 81 cents. Now were
that assumption entirely correct, we
should have faith enough in the wis
dom and conscience of the American
debtors to believe that they Will repu-
diAte the idea of reputation. As bust
