A WHITE RED SQUIRREL.
A Queess Little Pet Belonging to Some
New jersey Girls.


A Queeas Little Pet Belonging to Some
New Jersey Girls.
DR.. Emily G. Hunt, in St. Mich
olas, describes the following inter-
esting pet:
Some girl cousins of mine living
in New Jersey have an odd pet. 1t
is white red squirrel.
You have all seen red squirrels
"chickarees" they call them, from
the sounds of their chattering and
scolding as they drop nutshells on
your head or run down a tree trunk
by fits and starts, giving little
"Chickl' with each forward rush,
while they watch you sharply.
Our little pet is like one of these
in every way, except that he is SO
snowy white that the cleanest ia
blecloth looks dingy compared to
him.
He was born in cranberry bog.
Some men cutting brush there saw
two strange little animals, one
white, the other cream colored.
They caught this white one by
throwing a coat over him, but the
creamy squirrel ran away.
When the captive was brought
home all admired him greatly, for
he was, as you may imagine, a very
beautiful little creature, with his
long, bushy tail and bright wood
land tricks.
But there is really one strange
thing about him-his eyes are not
red or pink, as are those of most
white animals, but they are as black
as any squirrels could be. So my
girl cousins call him Beads.
When an animal belonging to
species commonly dark in color is
born white instead, it is called an
albino. You have all seen albino
rabbits and rats and mice. Their
eyes are pink. So that Beads is real
ly most uncommon fellow-a
snowy squirrel with jet black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate
most winning little pet, and there
is no end to his pretty ways. AS a
cat and a kitten live with the same
family, he has to be kept in a squir-
rel cage, but he is let out long
time each day. Then Beads is quite
happy. He climbs up the back of
the chair and nibbles the hair Of the
person seated in it, gnaws the flow
ers on the window sill, rushes up the
stems of the callas and scratches in
the earth until it flies on all sides.
He will rub his head and face and
all his body in the earth until his
clean, white dress is a sight to be-
hold. After that he hops to the floor
and rubs his face carefully upon the
carpet.
He loves to retire to corner or
under a piece of furniture for his
toilet, going in gray and coming out
white. If you peep and watch him,
it is great fun, for he scrubs and
combs himself with his paws in the
neatest way, washes his face just as
a cat does and then takes his big
tail in his paws and uses it for a
towel. One often hears people won
der why squirrels have such big
tails. All know that they are useful
as balancing poles and blankets and
are charming as ornaments, but
not many are in Beads secret of
their usefulness as towels.

NEW YORK. N. Y, May 9.-The NAL
lory Line steam ship Leona, which sailed
from here Saturday afternoon, returned
late tonight, after fire at sea in which
thirteen people aboard were burned to
death.
Officers of the vessel refused to disclose
the news until midnight tonight, and
even then the police had to demand veri-
ficatIon in order to notify the Coroner.
When the steamer sailed Saturday she
had forty passengers aboard, twenty-five
OF whom were in the steerage. mostly Ger
mans. They were quartered forward on
the steerage deck in hunks. They retired
Saturday night aud when Captain Wilder
made an inspection at midnight every
thing was shipshape and the passengers
sleeping.
at l o'clock this morning while the
Leona was off Delaware Capes, the for
ward watch was startled by the smell of
smoke, which was traced to the steerage
deck. The sailors attempted to f.>yesti-
gate, but were forced back by overpower-
ing fumes. The steerage was charged
with smoke, and the glimpse the sailors
got of the steerage showed unfortunates
trying to get out of their hunks, while
others were huddled on the floor un-
conscious.
Captain Wilder gave orders to man the
fire pumps and calling for a couple of vol
unteers he and two officers dashed into
the steerage, despite the fact that all was
smoke and flames there. They dragged
out as many of the passengers as they
could and then returned for breath of
air They started in again but seainy il

ture. returned. The captain then gave or
ders for the hold to be charged with steam
to overcome the fire. Officers and men
worked hard to save the steerage passen-
gers and all had their hair, whiskers and
eyebrows burned. For three hours the
officers and men battled with the flames.
The bin passengers were awakened by
the noise on deck and turned out in their
night clothes. 1t was known by this
Iime that thirteen persons were missing,
two stewards being among them. The
rest were immigrants, recently landed, on
the way to Galveston. As soon as the
captain had the fire under control he
turned the ship about and started for the
nearest port.
1t was found impossible to steer the ves-
sci from the pilot-house, as the entire
vessel was hot, and the heat was too in
tense in he pilot-house for man to stay
there. The captain was obliged to use
hand steering gear. The vessel was man.
aged by wheel in the stern. An officer
in charge of the fire brigade finally re-
ported the fire extinguished, and an ex-
animation showed the ship in no danger.

Ship Francis From This
City Now Lies on
the Bar.
Captain and Crew Make a Gal

VESSEL.
Heroic Efforts to Check the Flames
Fall and a Run Is Made to
the Beach.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 9.-The
full rugged ship Francis, Ill days from
San Francisco for New York, lies on the
bar, near Little Egg Harbor Inlet, almost
burned to the waters edge. Yesterday
the Francis was seen passing up the coast,
evidently in distress
At O'Clock last mig ht the captain Of the
Little Egg Harbor life-station, ten miles
north, saw blue lights flashing from a
vessel five miles off shore and heading for
the beach. He ordered out a lifeboat and
waited for the ship to ground. Half an
hour after the Francis stranded on the
bar, the life-saving crew launched boat
and found the Francis crew heroically
working to subdue a dangerous fire raging
in the hold.
When the matches were opened to allow
the fighters to get nearer the fire the
flames shot skyward in an immense sheet,
enveloping the mizzen rigging and driv-
ing the men from the ship. From the
windward they finally returned to the
conflict and for half an hour kept the
pumps actively working, and with
hatchets and p icks removed the infam-
mable material, undaunted by the terrific
heat of the afterdeck, which was being
consumed. Though the heat and blind
ing smoke several times drove the men
from the vessel they never ceased in their
la bors until o'clock this morning, when
nature refused to longer prolong the un-
equal battle and they were forced to
abandon the ship. At that time tug
boat of the Merritt wrecklng service took
hand and made several efforts to bring
hose to bear on the burning ship.
All night the flames continued the
havoc. but about sunrise subsidized. The
Francis is now lying IN about twelve fee t
of water with a strong list to starboard.
Her mizzen rigging is entirely gone. The
quarterback, companionway and cabin
were entirely destroyed.
The Francis is in command OF Captain
A. L. Smith and crew of twenty-five.
The captain stated that the fire was dis
covered Friday night. Detailing the crew
into equal watches he set the pumps work
ing. Finding the fire gained he battened
down the matches in the hope the strong
southerly breeze would carry him into
New York harbor In time to save the ship.
When opposite Absecon light he saw the
ship would not last that long. SO he de-
termined to beach her. The Francis car
ried a general cargo. consisting princi pally

believes the origin of the fire was spon.

as fact, the sanction OF Europe only be-

admirals in Cretan waters were recently
obliged to advance the international
troops beyond the zone previously occu-
pied. They had to ask for my authority
to do so. Therefore the powers may do
what they like, but their union remains
