A JOURNEY THAT FAILED.

"A young DerJait author who is max
ing quite a deal OF literary reputation by
the local color he intuses in to his writ
ings about places he never saw, was do
ing some talking the other evening 10
a few friends, says the Free Press.
Il once read" he said. that Kipling
travelled Il thousand miles 10 ge; the i'm
pressions Of man who went down in A
ship al sea.and was lucky enough to come
up again. II struck me at once that this
was the secret OF Kipling's success. The
faithfulness o: detail. and. above all. the
truth OF it was what scored.
Il became enthuSed with the idea that
this was ;he key to The situation, and
and reap the benefit myself. 1t was only
a short time before an excellent chance
offered.
81 was writing a story in which the
hero while ascending the Matterhorn
slides down d glacier. and when just at
the verge Of an awful precipice catches
a twig pro;urding from the snow, which
is gradually uprcoted. Ar the last mo-
ment he is saved by the heroine. who
by tying together her leather wealth belt,
throws to him a rope she has formed
Of sunny hair, strips OF clothing, and
imported Roman stripe sheer silk four
in hand tie.
"One day. while the wig had beer
slowly uprooting itself Tor more than
three hours, and I was puzzling my brain
to imagine what the hero ought to be
thinking Of and doing besides catching
cold, ! threw aside my pen and picked
up a newspaper 10 give my brain a resi-.
THE first item tha, caught my eys
was the following:
columbus. O.. July 15.-Martin Gal.
legher, a workman employed in repair,
ing the tower OF the city hail. had a nar,
row escape today from a horrible death.
He lost his footing and fell sliding down
the steep roos OF the building with ter
rifle celebrity. A nail, accidentally pro.
truding, caught in his garments and held
him at the edge suspended above the
o pavement, 100 Feet below. Ii was
fully Is minutes before his companions
could rig a tackle and rescue him from
his fearful p~redicament.'
Here was my chance to Guido Kip
ling. I would go to Columbus, interview
Gallagher. record his Impressions, which
must have been exactly similar to those
Of my hero, and by their thrilling real,
ism create a sensation throughout tho
literary world.

Henry Hamilton and others, returned
yesterday from three weeks sojourn in
the woods. The party shot altogether
Is deer and wounded two moose which
they were unable to secure afterwards.
Some of the ladies in the party shot some
of the deer. Prof. Shaw reports that tho
game is more plentiful this year than
ever before and in fact the deer are be-
coming so numerous that the farmers in
the region of Moosehead complain that
the animals destroy all of their crops
Prof. Shaw owns tract of land near the

ST. DoMINIC'S COFFEE PARTY.

The 18th annual coffee party of the st.
Patrick's conference was held last eve
ming at City hall. The proceeds of this
party are used for charity and the returns
last night were entirely satisfactory to
those in charge. A committee of the
ladies of the parish served refreshments
and many people were served during the
evening, including all of the Catholic
clergy OF the city with the exception of
Bishop Healy and Father Hurley, who
were unable to be present. During the
evening the young people enjoyed an or
der of dances while their seniors listened
to the music of the orchestra and passed
the evening in conversation. Those in
charge of the dancing were as follows:
Floor director, D. Frank Manager; assis-

o'Do NNELL's DEATH.
No Reason to Suspect that 1t Was Caused
by Foul Play.

There seems to be no reason for assum-
ing that there was foul play. in the case
of Frank O'Donnell whose body was
found Sunday floating in Fore River. 1t
wassstated that all the front teeth were
missing and that there was large and
apparently deep wound over the left eye.
Tuesday Coroner Perry investigated the
case, and DIR. Themes made an examlna-
ton. 1t was found to be true that the
front teeth were missing, but there was
no wound on the head. And in general
the condition of the body was not 9th er-
wise than might have been expected from
the length of time it had been in the
water.
Therefore Coroner Perry deemed an IN
quest unnecessary. The remains were IN
tered in Cavalry cemetery Monday AFTER
Noon
