The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-11-18

A mystery in connection with the
First Presbyterian church of Syracuse,
N. Y, has been cleared up, ard as a
consequence the members are being
subjected to soCd deal of joking by
their friends. Not long ago it was an
nounced that the church was CLOSED
for repairs" but what thenature OF these
repairs was could not be learned un-
til now. One day it was noticed that
clouds of smoke were pouring from
the church windows. and of course
some one promptly sent in an alarm
to the fire department. The crowd that
collected saw the fire chief enter the
building. but only to come out again
coughing and strangling and order the
apparatus back to the engine house.
Curious persons who could not under
stand why the stateliest church in Sy-
racuse should be allowed to burn un-
h.ndered investigated the matter and
discovered that fumigation of the was
in process. 1t was given out on short
notice that no services would be held
in the church on the following Sunday
owing TO repairs. It was learned that
the only needed repairs were the burn
ig Of sulphur in large quantities in ev-
cry part Of the edilice.
The church was thoroughly over
hauled during the summer and the
carpets and cushions sent to a cleaner.
When they came back they were full
OF teas. This fact was communicated
to the trustees. who notified the pas
tor. Rev. George B. Spalding, d. D.,
that no services could be held on Sum
day. Where the fleas came from nc
one knows. 1t is known only that the
place was infested and that the fleas
were active and hunrgy cough to put
a congregation to rout. II is not like
ly that there will be very large con-
gregations for some time to come. not
withstandng that the fumigation pro-
cess has been very successful.

Deeds of Heroism In tho wreck of the Tas
mania. orr NIahaI Peninsula
To the brief announcement from
Australia of the wreck of the steamer
Tasmania with heavy loss of life, mail
advices from New Zealand add stirring
particulars, When the steamer left
Auckland she had on board thirty-five
saloon and thirty-three steerage pas
sengeTs, including number booked
through from Sydney. The place
where the vessel was lost is off the ex-
treme northern point of the Mahai
peninsula, between Osborne and Ma
pier, where fiat rocks, awash at high
tide, extend seaward a mile from the
shore. In dirty weather and on
dark night the steamer in charge Of
the third officer, ran nearer into land
than was consistent with safety The
captain, aroused too late, was unable
to avert the danger, and the vessel
struck even as the order was given to
bring her head out to sea. 1t is sat
isfactory to know that all on board,
passengers and crew. exhibited cour-
age and common sense. There was no
sign of panic, and it was apparently
with good intent, though in apparent
bravado. that one man set himself
to play the piano in order to keep up
the women's spirits. The boats were
got out quickly and the transfer, de-
spite a heavy sea, made without much
difficulty. Two hours after striking
the steamer went down, bows first,
and the boats made the best of their
way to shore. The loss of life occur
red in landing. The larger boats, con-
tanning nearly all the passengers, came
through safely, but the dingy, in
which were eight men, turned turtle
in the surf and two of the occupants
were drowned. The chief stewards
boat is also supposed to have capszed.
and that its occupants are drowned.
Six bodies were washed ashore and the
loss of life altogether is thirteen, in
cluding two men who perished in an
attempt to rescue. An old Maori saw
the stewards boat trying to effect a
landing at Bow Harbor in a very heavy
surf. They appeared to have only one
oar pulling and a steer oar. The boat
capsized in the surf, and every man
swan to the beach. When they touch
ed bottom, however, they were swept
back. Four hung to the keel of the
boat, but were washed Off McNellie,
who was the only seaman in the car
renters boat, acted very bravely.
When the others became exhausted he
stuck to the oars, and, single-handed.
brought the dingy within two chains
of the shore. when it capsized, and he
was dashed on the rocks and killed.

scribed. The cars are the finest money
can possibly produce. These trains
commenced running regularly on No
vember 3rd. The combined cost of the
trains was 100000, and they will run
regularly between New York and Chi
cago making the trip in "a hours.
1t will be very gratifying to all rail-
road men to know that the interstate
commission has decided to take hold Of
the matter of railroad accidents with
a firm hand, and that the laws which
have been passed for the protection OF
life and limb will be vigorously en-
forced. One of these laws requires all
freight trains to be equipped with au-
tomato couplers and a sufficient num-
Der on each train to be equipped with
automatic brakes to enable the speed
to be controlled by the engineer at
ull times. The time limit for making
these changes was placed at January
1st, 1898. The near APPROACH Of that
day finds the majority of railroads eth
er unwilling or unable to meet the re-
quirements of the law. Statistics in
the hands of the interstate commission
show that some Of the railroads have
complied with the new law. The Bos-
tbh anu AlDduy, Juc L>tN 1 YIN Stilldl
and Hudson River and three other rail-
roads have equipped all their freight
cars with automatic couplers, and from
fifty to seventyfve per cent. of their
cars are fitted with train brakes. The
speaks well for the efficiency of these
roads. Among the forty-five other
roads that have sent in reports to the
commission. the percentage of cars
equipped with automatic couplers var
les from eleven per cent. on the Nor
folk to ninety-four per cent. on the
Chicago and Northwestern. Many
companies are asking for an extension
of time and assign various reasons for
their requests.
The question of safety equipment is
one between the profits of the COM
panies and the safety of the employees.
One section of the law gives the en-
ploye remedy where safety appliances

Oriental Salutcs,

The people OF the Orient salute one
another in many queer and amusing
ways. One of them is called the sa-
lam, or salaam. which is very low
bow, accompanied by a horizontal
movement Of the arms toward the per-
son saluted until the extended hands
meet edge to edge. Another form is a
low bow with the palm of the right
hand to the brow. In Persia the sub
ject salutes the monarch by throwing
himself on the ground and kissing
his feet.
In China, says the Philadelphia
Times, an inferior on horseback, on
meeting a superior, dismounts and
waits until the superior has passed.
In Japan an inferior removes his san
dals when he meets a superior places
his right hand in his sleeve, thus cross
ing his arms, and rocking himself to
and fro cries: Don't hurt me! Don't
hurt me-"
They have very funny fashion in
Siam. When an inferior comes into
the presence of superior he throws
himself upon the ground. Then the
superior sends one of his attendants
forward to see whether the PROSTATE
man has been eating anything or has
any offensive odor about him. If he
be blameless in this respect, the attend
ant raises him from the ground, but If
he be guilty, the attendant straightway
kicks him out.
Some of the Indian tribes have a way
of saluting one another by rubbing
their noses together. This Is also
the form in the Friendly and Society
islands, after which each man takes
the others hand and rubs it upon his
own nose and mouth.

TIE Posse Oomltatus,

Even though the Lattimer deputy
sheriifs be convicted as charged, that
fact should not initiate against the
usefulness and desirability of the posse
comitatus as against the militia.
Neither should It be apprehended
that such a conclusion would make
greater the difficulty of obtaining
good citizens to serve as deputies IN
time of turbulence.
The people of this state are not
and intend never to be prepared to
relinqulsh the civil government to the
state army. There is quite as much
inclination among soldiers to shoot
first and parley afterward as there is
among intolerant deputy sheriffs. In
deed, an officer of the militia who has
seen law defying strike-not in this
state, however-pines for permission
to the militia to begin shooting as
soon as called into service.
The posse comitatus are at least
supposed not to have such desire.
Without the military experience which
is likly to make them imagine they
are campaigning against an active
enemy as soon as they are called into
service they are popularly supposed 10
be less desirous of shooting than the
soldiers. And the people Of this state
prefer that all lawbreakers, whether. of
high or low degree, be arrested if
possible, and in case of rioting or de-
tiance of the lawful authorities that
they be not fired upon unless they
actually attack the representatives of
law. The Lattimer shooters are exc
Grated because they shot and killed
instead Of endeavoring to arrest dis
turbers of the peace.
We believe the posse comitatus can
and ought to be made an effective in
strument for the preservation of the
law But the manner of its enroll
ment and service can be improved. II
should not be composed of sympath-
izers with special interests enrolled
and equipped and paid by those spec
lal interests. Nor can the highest
effectiveness be reached by impress
ment. In every county in this state
that supplies recruits by voluntary en-
listment, for the best state Guard in
the Union. there should be no difficult
ty in finding enough patriotic men to
volunteer their services as deputy
sheriffs and to form a permanent
though not continuously active corps
"a sort of landwehr-ready to serve
the county when needed, just as tine
Guard serves the state. Such posse
would serve the state and humanity,
not special interests and prejudices.
1t would preserve the law and respect
life, for it would be more intelligent
than the average posse. 1t would
prevent militarism and the repetition
of the Lattlmer massacre.-E.r.

STEAMERS FOR ALASKA.
Five stauncb Vessels Being Prepared to
Sail From This Port.
EARLY START WILL BE MADE.
A Company Headed BY ChasIes X. Cramp Sc
cures Boats OF the American Line for
Service to the Klondike
Gold Fields.

The States Steamspim Company
has been formed under the laws of
New Jersey, with capital of $1,000
900, and with Charles II. Cramp, head
of the Cramp Ship & Engine Building
Company, as its president. The new
company has completed arrangements
by which it acquires from the Inter
national Navigation Company the five
steamers, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana
Illinois and Conemaugh, and others
will soon be aided to the fleet.
President Cramp said in New York
Thursday that these steamers will be
sent around to the Pacific coast as
soon as possible, and will ply regular
ly from San Francisco or Seattle to
St. Michael, Alaska. The Ohio is
now at the Jersey City docks, but will
be taken to the Philadelphia yards
within few days and, together with
the four Others of the fleet, be fitted
out here under hurry orders, and with
passengers and freight be dispatched
to the Alaskan gold fields, sending
the passengers up the river to Dawson
City by the first boaty that can make
the trip.
The Ohio will be the first steamer
to sail, and will leave Philadelphia
early IN December, to be followed by
the four others, all leaving by March I.
Passengers and freight will be taken
from that city, The Ohio is steam
er of 54oo tons register, and the others
Of about $500 tons.
The boats will sail down the coast
Of South America, touching at the
principal ports of Brazil, and at Mon
tevideo, and go through the Straits of
Magellan. They will touch at Val
paraiso, Callao and Panama for coal,
and then up to San Francisco and
Seattle, and thence to St, Michaels.
To act in conjunction with these
steamers a number of light drausht
vessels are being built as rapidly as
possible to make the service up the
Yukon River.
Mr.. Cramp says that the lack of
transportation facilities to the Klon-
dixie experienced last spring and sum-
mer, when all available boats were
overcrowded and could not carry a
third of the possible passengers and
freight, led to the formation OF this
new company. He expects. from ap-
pIications already received, that the
boats will start from here filled to
their full carrying capacity. The
OHIO will reach Seattle about the first
of February.

WISE WORDs.

Thine own friend and thy fathers
friend forsake not.
There is pleasure in meeting the
eyes of those to whom we have done
good.
The criminal is not another kind of
being he is ourself in our worst
moods.
Every great and commanding move
ment in the annals of the world is the
triumph of enthusiasm.
A set of mortals has risen who be-
lieve that truth is not a printed specu
lation but practical fact.
Some women seem to think they
ought to be loved, whether they do
any OF it themselves or not.
Men of the noblest dispositions
think themselves happiest when others
share their happiness with them.
Do good constantly, patiently and
wisely, and you will never have cause
to say that life was not worth living.
Everywhere and always a mans
worth must be gagged to some extent,
though only in part, by his domesti-
city.
Men of humor are, in some degree,
men of genius wits are rarely SO,
although man of genius may,
amongst other gifts, possess wit.
Manhood begins when we have in
any way made truce with necessity (;
but begin joyfully and hopefully only
when we have reconciled ourselves to
necessity.
Every attempt to make others
happy, every sin left behind, every
temptation trampled under foot, every
step forward in the cause of what is
good is step nearer heaven.
The greatest and noblest work in
the world and an effect of the great
est prudence and cure, is to rear and
build up man and to form and
fashion him to pety, justice, temper
ance and all kinds of honest and
worthy actions.
We should ponder the particular
characteristics which are needed to
encounter manfully all failures IN life,
and secure from them whatever bcne-
fit they are capable OF bestowing, for
these are very different from the quail
ties which enable man to ride tri,
umphantly on the tide of success.
Always there is seed being sown
silently and unseen, and everywhere
there comes sweet flowers without our
foresight or labor We reap what we
SOW, but nature has love over and
above that which justice gives us
shadow and blossom and fruits that
spring from no planting Of ours.

The charges were conspiracy to
commit bribery and to defame the
character of ex-Postmaste, General
Wanamaker in the legislative cam
paign for United States senator in
which the latter was defeated by
Senator Penrose.
The cases went to the grand jury
Friday morning but there was some
delay on account of witnesses,
William A. Winsboro, the man who
made the famous affidavit on which
the charges were brought, could not
be found, and there was difficulty in
securing the attendance of a number
of Scranton men, including Congress
man Connell. These were eventually
located and it was decided to proceed
without Winsboro, Prosecutor Van
Valkenburg being the principal wit
ness.
The court instructed the jury be-
fore they retired on the cases pending
and explained what constituted con-
spiracy. Judge Scott also told them
to dispose of the costs in case they
ignored the bills. The outcome OF
the case was anticipated by general
opinion early in the day.
