THE MANLESS ISLE.
The Story Said to BE Mythical
One.

Much has been said and written dur
ing the past few months about the
maness isles of st. John, in the South
seas, and Captain Bergman, of the
American bark Big Bonanza has been
quoted in picturesque descriptions of
the beautiful women there and the life
of luxury that awaits the man who is
bold enough to make one of them his
bride The Big Bonaza dropped anchor
in the harbor at San Francisco recent
ly, and it required but brief inter-
view with those who accompanied
Captain Bergman on his visit to the
islands to demonstrate that the entire
story is myth. Captain Adolph
Bergman, who was in he bark a year
ago when she sailed past the st. John
islands, and who is accredited with
having first given the story publicity
in Sydney paper, is no longer in COM
mand of the vessel. His brother, Capt.
Alex Bergman, formerly of the Ma
iestic, occupies the cabin.
There are only two members of his
crew who accompanied Captain Adolph
on the voyage that is now famous.
Both are boys, and only one speaks
| English. When the English-speaking
youngster was tumbled out of his
bunk and piled with questions he soon
exploded the oft repeated yarn. He
said that the Big Bonanza did not
stop at the st. John islands at all. She
merely passed close by. A crowd OF
natives-all men-put off in boats and
boarded the bark, begging, stealing
and trading, as the opportunity OF,
fered. No women came, nor did Capt
Bergman or any of his men go ashore
The sailor boy said that the natives
might have related to the captain the
story he is said to have afterward re
peated, but there was no evidence thai
there was any truth in the yarn.

In spite Of the very large and pow
erful naval force of Great Britain that
country is constantly seeking to in
crease it by one means or another.
Just now these efforts are taking the
form of an agitation for an adequate
reserve Of trained seamen, and in the
discussion Of the project the fact has
come out that France has much larger
number of seamen than England. En-
gland, according to an authority, has a
naval peace footing this year of no.
0OO men, while last year France had
$4,000. 1t also appears that England
has had trouble to maintain her quota
of sailors even in times Of peace and
would, of course, have still more diff
Guilty if war should come. This has
caused no small alarm in nation
whose policy and position make it abso-
lutely necessary to maintain navy at
all times superior to that of any other
on earth Efforts to make a showing
Of reserve seamen have proved failures,
and more than one speed trial of new
gunboats has had to be postponed for
lack of an adequate crew. The English
know that the next war in which they
engage may place the life of the nation
at stake, and, as always, the bulwark
will be the navy. If this cannot be de-
pended on the end may easily be
guessed.

The bicycle seems to be making too
rapid strides into the field of utility.
1t invaded avenues of trade very soon
after it's use became general, and it has
proved a valuable factor in many lines
of business, but there is danger that its
enthusiastic advocates will push its
claims for availability too far. This
menace is obvious in an incident re-
ported from Elizabethport, N. j., where
a funeral procession consisted Of two
carriages and fifteen bicycles. The
properly solemn aspect of this occasion
could not fail to be marred by sue
cession of mourners on wheels. Such
a cortege requires all elements Of mis-
chance to be eliminated as far as posi-
BILE, and bicycles are so prone to have
various things happen to them at mop
perfume moments that they are decid-
edly out Of place at funeral. One
punctured tire at such time would be
sure to create the greatest confusion,
where all things should be staid and
calm, and the Imagination can picture
many other typical bicycle calamities
any one OF which would be fatal to
funeral decorum. Surely line must
be drawn for bicycles, and let it be
drawn at funerals.

Prince Constantine must be having
hard time of it If he cannot even set
out to take his own life without being
forced to beat retreat. 1t is reported
that she wanted to blow out his brains,
but his officers refused to permit him."
Apparently he consulted his officers
on the important question first. The
Prince is literally supplied with death
dealing instruments, and it was posi-
BILE for him to take mean advantage
Of his suite and destroy himself before
his officers could know of his purpose.
But being a confiding Prince he seems
to have preached the matter as an af-
fair of state, and he must have been
deeply Inundated to find that his OFF,
GERS differed with him radically as to
the wisdom Of his policy. But fortu-
nately the Prince is not an obstinate
son of the monarch and gave way to
the persuasive eloquence of his attend
ants. He is thus able to Give to fight

Virtue, however lovely, happy and
harmonious, is very weak. It includes
in itself all the power that has been
exercised to attain it, and without
which it could never have existed. 1t
is the habitual choice Of the good over
the evil made gladly at last, but telling
of many conflict, many toilsome
climb before the habit was formed. 1t
is through many victories over strong
desires and passions which might have
swept us away and made us slaves
that we can win freedom to walk in
the pleasant paths of virtue.

For Over Half a Century Connected
with the Crimes of New York.

with the Crimes of New York.
The most famous prison in the Uni
ted States is the Tombs, of New York,
which is now being demolished to make
room for more commodious structure.
The building, which was constructed Of
gray granite, was erected between 1888
and 1923, being completed in the latter
year. 1t has housed during its less
than three score years Of existence half
a million prisoners; some famous or
infamous in the history of crime, other
unfortunates who We're glad to be con-
fined there during the winter months,
regaining their freedom in the spring.
Before the passage of the law fixing
electrocution as the official means Of
ending forfeited lives in the State,
there were many executions in the
Tombs. All told, there were sixty
hangings. Among the inmates of the
Tombs who suffered the extreme pen
atty Of the law within it's walls was
Capt. Nathaniel Gordon, the slave
trader. Gordon sailed from Havana
in the summer Of 1860 in the ship Erie,
bound for the west coast of Africa, and
was captured on his return voyage
with nearly 900 negroes packed in the
hold, by the United States cruiser
Monongahela, in which he and his
mates were brought prisoners to New
York, and after a short detention in
the Eldridge street Jail. were transfer
red for safekeeping until trial to the
Tombs.
After two trials he was convicted and
