A New Departure

Il know it is unprecedented, my dear"
SAID the popular minister to his wife, with
look of firm determination upon his face.
Il know the public will consider me a sensa-
tronal, unorthodox innovator, but some
thing must be done to fill the church and
bring me into notice.
But said his wife, Consider what an
abnormal, extraordinary and unparalleled
thing it Is you propose. L have never been
In favor of your discussing in the pulpit
subjects that will startle and invite criticism
from the congregation and public Why
not eont'ne yourself, as other preachers do,
to matters that they naturally expect from
a minister of the gospel?"
!, They no longer attract attention" said
the minister. THE people now demand
something new and electrifying, and | thinl;
l have hit upon plan of discourse that will
create a furore in the religious world.
have decided to abandon the old beaten
paths and give them something next SUNDAY
that will come like thunder clap upon the
congregation"
Very WELL said his wife, with sigh OF
resignation, IF you have fully determined to
take text from the Bible | will try no
longer to dissuade you."-Chicago Tribune.

OI1SA1 ALI.
LET Me SAIL UNDER NEW NAME" SALT
THE CAPTAIN OF THE RANGER.
1t will be remembered that it was the
morning of the 1st of June that Pilot
Piver, of Smithville, stated that the
Clara Belle, bearing Angus Bruce, passed
out the inlet at break of day, and not
withstanding the reward that Lathrop
offered for the apprehension of Bruce,
and the further fact that many officers
were searching for him on land and sea
10 trace of the Clara Belle, or of her
captain had been found. 1t was now
conceded that they had left the Caro-
lima coast.
On the evening of the 18th of August
there passed into the mouth of the
Ashley river, and anchored off Charles
ton, a two-mast schooner, of apparently
the same tonnage as the Clara Belle, and
she seemed to ride the waters, as she lay
at anchor there, as lightly. There was
evidehtly a small cargo, if any, aboard.
The Clara Belle, when last seen plying
the waters of Cape Fear wore coat
of white paint, and her master took
pride III seeing that it should be kept
so clean that her sides should glisten in
the sunlight.
This schooner was painted a dark
green, and her name as painted in bold
letters on her stern was 'The Rang
err"
The Ranger then had ridden at anchor
something like an hour, and it was pos
sibly eight o'clock, when man of more
than ordinary stature and of athletic
build, stepped from the cabin. He wore
Il pair of dark blue trousers, which were
sustained around the waist by heavy
leathern belt, and within two pockets
of the belt, on either side, protruded the
stocks of pistols, while within it's
sheath at the back rested the sheath
knife.
His blue wooden shirt was open at
the neck, and soft felt hat was on
his head His features it was hard 10
judge of, as an immense black beard
covered his face almost entirely, eN-
tending fully ~ inches below his chin.
His large, expressive eyes were of a
dark blue cast, and his every movement
seemed to speak of great energy.
AS he stepped out of the cabin, he
was wiping his long, black beard with
red bandana, as though he had just
partaken of his evening meal.
Mate" he sang out, Clover yawl,
and send Hendricks and Bullion ashore
with me-
Aye, aye, sir! but who's Bull

"Why, he that eats so much soup. One

The yawl was soon lowered, and tho
captain, who had donned his coat. ac-
companied by the two sailors, descended
into it.
A few minutes pull at the oars, ana
they drew up at the wharf.
Now, my lads" said the captain,

whistle three times; remember now.

All was silence again, in the midst of

Mere Bundles of Nerves,

Some peevish, luerulous people seem
mere bundles of nerves. The least sound
agitates their sensoriums and rufiies their
tempers. No doubt they are born so. But
may not their nervousness be ameliorated,
if not entirely relieved? Unquestionably.

Salinas Resident Attempts to Capture a
Sea Lion and Barely Escapes

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Jan. 24-Wil-
liam G. Conrad, who arrived last week
from his home in Salinas, met with a
peculiar accident yesterday. He was walk
ing along the beach near New Monterey
when his wife, who accompanied him,
saw a small sea lion summing itself on a
rock near the shore. Conrad determined
to catch the little animal. Running to
McA bees boathouse close by, he procured
q rope and, the tide being low, he crept
out with little difficulty to the rock where
the sea lion lay. He found the little fell
low quite gentle and it was an easy matter
to iasten the rope around it.
Just as be was about to carry his captive
TO the shore big wave struck them and
bore Conrad, who was standing on a rock
slippery with seaweed and keip, entirely
oil his feet. The wave dashed over the sea
lion and with dlsgusted bark it dived
from the rock, taking the rope with it. As
Conrad had hold of the other end of the
rope, he was carried some distance from
the beach before the suodenness of the
catastrophe and the amount of salt water
he had invoIuntarlly swallowed permitted
him to realize the situation. Fortunately
for him, young man upon the beach had
witnessed the whole affair aad promptly
came to his assistance. pulling him out of
the water more dead than alive. He soon
recovered from the effects of his uninten
tional bath, none the worse for the wettine
but disguised because he had failed 10

THE CONTEST AT OLYMPIA.
Cline Likely to Show a Small Gain on
the First Ballot for Senator
T0-DdE

OLYMPIA, WASH. Jan. 24.-There may
be some deve lopments in the Senatorial
contest tomorrow. Cline will probably
get two or three more votes, but he can
hardly be elected. Turner's strength re-
mains the same. Mayor Belt OF Spokane
and J. S. Baker and Thomas Carroll of
Tacoma are here tonight and will launch
booms tomorrow. What strength they
will show is unknown.
1t is now learned that when F. r. Baker
withdrew and threw his strength TO Cine
he entered into an agreement with Cline
to the effect that if Cline we're elected he
(Baker) was to be Cline's secre ary, and
the salaries would be divided-a sort of
joint-Senat ator affair.
Many supporters for all parties arrived
tonight, and the fight during the second
week will be a warm one. The Turner
