AN OCEAN VOYAGE.
The Proper Fees to Pay on Board an
Atlantic Liner.


The Proper Fees to Pay on Board an
Atlantic Liner.
Fees arc too indefinite 70 be regulated
By rule, but certain amounts are Gus
tomary at sea. The voyGger. if he Is
not seasick, is dependent for comfort
first ON the table steward. To this man
it seems to be the rule to give 81. 90 for
one, or So for two or three persons III a
party, whether one is served in regular
courses or orders what he pleases from
the bill Late suppers might increase
the fee.
Ones next best friend is he deck
steward, if he is attentive and has fol-
lowed oct suggestions about the steam
er chair and rugs. Sometimes one can.
eat on deck when it is fatal to go below,
and then, If the deck steward is oblig
ing, he deserves the larger part of what
would go to the table steward in reg
ular course. If the weather is at all
fair, il is most agreeable to find ones
chair we'll placed and the rugs dry ev-
cry morning, especially if one is in
clined to seasickness. Moreover, this
steward is the one who continuously
brings sandwiches and broth on deck,
and, as he is obliged himself to fee the
cooks assistant to get these articles pre-
pared, it is clear that he should be well
remembered at parting, if any one is.
On many lines his pay, like that of
most of the stewards, is not higher than
$l2 a month, and the company, on gen.
eral principles, keeps back oih-third to
pay for breakGge Another third goes &c
the cooks in fees. Where, therefore,
would he be without tips?-Lewis Nor.

To Save the Table.

The useful table mat is thing OF the
past, as every careful housekeeper must
sometimes remember to her anguish when
she essays to uncover her dining room ta-
BILE and finds its once glitteringly polished
surface defaced here and there where hot
dishes have been set down. When the
carving is done at the table. folded nap
kins are sometimes placed underneath the
cloth, but they are altogether too candid,
and betray their presence by various un-
even depressions and elevations. The best
preventive of a ruined table, without TAX
ing refuge with the deposed mats, is a
sheet of asbestus. This may be bought by
the yard, and thus can be, procured in DIFF
ferent lengths to fit ones need of some-
times a small and sometimes an extended
table. 1t will quite do away with any fur
ther worry, since no matter how carelessly
dish may be overheated 1t cannot harm
the wood protected by asbestus. This
should be placed, it may be added, next the
table and beneath both linen cloth and the
pad which gives the upper cloth It's body
and weight.

MANY Think.

when the Creator said to woman,
'eIn sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering lurk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.

nr HAD REEN MURDERED

For his jewels, of which he always
wore a collection of great value.
The second theory was that the,
body was that of Oliver Pike, and
that he had been murdered in Seattle,
Wash. His relatives identified the
body and had it taken to Fayette for
burial. he disappeared from Seattle
july 3. 1892, and was never heard
from until n few DAYS ago, when ne
wrote to his relatives. IL was thought
that Pike had been murdered for
some damaging knowledge he possess
ed concerning the insane asylum at
Slellacoom, Wash. An investigation
was made. but no definite proof was
ever established that Pike had been
done awav with by the suspected
persons at the Steilacoom Asylum,
and the matter was dropped.

They have been communicating with
the missing mans mother, and stated
that she believed her son was still
alive and that mistake had been
made IN the Identification of the body
found in the trunk at Austin. Pres
ents had been received by Pixies
sisters purporting to come from him
and he had also sent photograph
Still, the strange actions of the mis-
sing man in the past three years have
made many of his relatives doubt
whether be Is really still alive. Ihey
attribute the report that he is at Red
lands, and the writing of the letters
to the men who are interested in the
money that the missing Frenchmar
left on deposit In the Salt Lake City
Bank.
In a letter received by Pixies
mother he stated that he would re-
turn to his home in Fayette, Ohio
some time in June. His cousin, Mr.
Doriot, intimated that Pike had go
in some trouble out in Washington
and had purpose in wanting to lose
his iden tity for time.

FAYETTE, O., April 23.-The excite
ment current concerning the mys-
teries surrounding the existence, sup
posed murder, whereabouts and
burial of Oliver Pike is causing much
grief and sorrow to his broken-heart-
ed mother and relatives at this place.
Through an interview with his
mother, uncles and other relatives.
The Blade correspondent has obtain
ed substantial proof in Redlands,
CAL, proofs, seemingly, which could
not be given by any one else than
Pike himself.
Letters have been exchanged be-
tween Oliver Pike and his mother,
also with other relatives, all OF when
substantiate the proofs of his being
alive. Questions relative to the stock,
distances and directions OF homes OF
certain persons living Of the horses,
the cat, ETC., which were here at the
time OF his abode in this section h ave
been submitted to him as proofs, and
he has answered them with correct
ness and certainty.
No explanation OF his long ana
strange silence in not notifying his
mother and friends of the mistaken
identity at the time he was supposed
to have been identified at the morgue
in Chica 70 has been advanced or
given. He is very reserved person,
and peculiar in his manner. IL Is also
stated that he was insane, or partial
ly SO at least, during his former years,
and that this may serve as an ex.
PLANTATION regarding his change OF
name, seclusion from public and his
silence.
Good reasons for wishing to prove
that the body which was buried in
the Franklin cemetary was not that
of Pike, and that he is still alive exist.
The possibility of obtaining the In
suranc. on the life of Joanes CheLel,
the Frenchman whose body the one
found in Chicago, was thought to be
together with his property; also te
bleed Pixies relatives, and the re,
Iatives of Shade, who was murdered
! by poisoning at the asylum.
In a recent letter he states as an
excuse for not visiting his home thai
the climate in the East doesno- agree
with him, but that he will return IL
August, and hopes to prove his iden
tity, and that he may once more en-
| joy the pleasure of his old associates
and his family.
