ROMANTIC SEA CAPTAIN.
Takes Several Carrier Pigeons Aboard

Takes Several Carrier Pigeons Aboard to
Carry Letters to His Bride.
A sailor is not generally credited
with being a romantic man, but Can't.
Fred Nelson is the exception. Being
compelled to go to sea, he has utilized
carrier pigeons to bear messages of
love to his bride ashore, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. While hunting
along the California coast for the rich
skins his thoughts turn to a little
woman in a cozy home back in San
Francisco. Thinking of this woman,
Capt, Nelson writes out brief reiter-
alton of his affection, liberates a car
rier pigeon and loving message speeds
over the sea to comfort the bride.
Capt Nelson had been married only
two or three months and his young
bride swore he should never go to sea
again. Nelson is part owner of the
vessel he commands and business COM
PEELED him to leave his bride for a trip
of eight or ten months, the first two or
three along the coast and the rest of
the time in the Arctic. He told her
she should hear from him and straight
way began looking around for carrier
pigeons. He secured three birds and
the next morning the Rather put to
sea- Now message has been received
The bird bore two messages. One was
to the owner of the bird, the other
was to Capt. Nelson's wife. The mes
sage to the former merely stated that
the vessel was fifteen miles outside
the Farallones and, therefore, forty
miles from the coast. Another bird is
expected any day.

A JUBILEE GRIEVANCE.
English Liberals Have NO Part In the
Procession.

English Liberals Have NO Par, In ;he
Procession.
London, June .12.-The past
week has seen the arrival of nu-
merous military detachments from
the colonies to take part in the
Queens Jubilee festivities. A
splendid body of Maori police are
the latest. They reached here
yesterday evening from New Zeal.
and, and composed an ode to the
Queen while on their way here,
which they hope to chant before
Her Majesty, and expect her to
join in it. Colonial troops are to
be met on every side. They are
generally men of fine physique,
wearing smart uniforms, and are
very popular everywhere. The
official programme of the process
sion as published has given UNI
bragg to the Liberals, owing to
the utter absence of recognition
of their part in the progress of the
Queens reign.
The Chronicle is very out
spoken on the subject, and es-
pecially at the emitting of Mr..
Gladstone, and asks, What kind
of a show is it that gives a pro
minent place to the soldiers of
Emperor William and to the re-.
representatives. ofTurkish barbarism
and excludes the greatest living
Eugiish-speakipg statesman of
the age ?" Continuing the
Chronicle remarks: "The Victo.
risn era is conspicuous above all
in the progress of labor and the
steady growth of self. government,
lyet the working classes are
ignored. A still more stringent
fact is that the presiding officers Of
the two houses Of parliament are
not recognized The Speakers
Office is centuries old; he is the
first Commoner in England, pre-.
sides over the most famous repre-
sentative institution, is the figure.
head of democratic government,
yet he has no place in the pro-
cession. What will the colonials,
who arc welded to pure democra-
cy, think of thisP" In conclusion,
the Chronicle says: "If the crown
has done something for the coun-
try, it is also true that the country
has done much for the crown, for
its progress and for the general
cause OF human welfare"

Calcutta, June IA severe
shock of earthquake was felt here
today, lastingaltogether five min
utes. In parts of the city few of the
houses escaped; some were badly
damaged, while others are in
ruins. Fifteen feet of the spire
of the cathedral has fallen, and
a number of other churches col
lapsed. The town hall, the high
court and other public buildings
were badly damaged. Eight
natives were killed and many
others were injured. The people
rushed from their houses en-
masse, many of them but half
dressed. Serious damage is re-
ported from Hoogly and Burdwan.

Miss Hefernan and Miss McGrath Arrived
Home Saturday.
Miss Heffernan and Miss McGrath, the
successful candidates In the Boston Globe
contest, arrived home Saturday on the
Colonial express. Both ladies were some
what fatigued after the long and tedious
ride by rail from the inaugural. A TRIB-
UNE reporter, who went to interview the
ladies concerning their trip, was received
in q courteous manner, and short history
of their movements was ascertained. Their
description OF the trip and the ceremonies
incident to the Inauguration was told with
much enthusiasm.
While at Washington they saw all that
was possible to see, and vast amount OF
sight seeing was crowded into few hours
time. Both ladies are enthusiastic, and
say that they would not miss the inaugu-
ration for good deal. The immense
crowd who flocked to Washington to see
the ceremonies, made it rather disagree
able for a thorough sightseeing tour.
Miss McGrath and Miss Heffernan met the
TRIBUNE's representatives on several oc-
casions while at the nations capital The
TRIBUNE people will not arrive home until
next Tuesday, making three days longer
stay than the Boston people. The gener-
osity of the TRIBUNE in giving their rep
resentatives a full week at Washington is
very favcrably commented upon.

we reach the conclusion that II our taxes
were doubled IL would be for the better
interest of the citizens of the city. But
they would not be doubled nor materially
increased for any length OF time. There
would be an increase of taxable property.
Our lists of real estate and personal proRs

be steady increase of sober, home build

The license system involves certain in
consistencies which must be apparent to
the most casual observer. We license the
seller and arrest the drinker. Why not
register and license the drinker as we do
saloon keepers, dogs, etcY IL 1t Is legal to
make drunk, why should 1t not be legal
to get drunk9 We license the saloon and
then build almshouses, jails, etc., to hold
the miserable wretches whom we have
been instrumental in degrading.
The question / ask In closing is "Are
you against the open saloonf" / do not
ask what party badge you wear, do not
ask concerning your creed or denomiua-
tion, / do not ask whether you. are
total abstainer. Many man who drinks
detests an open bar, and the man who
stands behind 1t whose power he cannot
break. Are you against the open saloon?
II you are, let US join hands. Whatever
your politics, Republican, Democrat, Pop
ulist or anything else; whatever your be-
lief, Protestant or Catholic, orthodox or

personal habits, strictly temperate or woe

He turned his instrument upon that point

reply, will have to bc repeated six times. y
In short time tho answer came back
that Geronimos brother was there, was

This struck the savage with awe. He
said something to one of his warriors
whereupon the latter quietly turned on his
heel, mounted his pony and roade rapidly
back i'm the direction of the mountains

interpreter, standing near by, what Geron

was the answer, "that there was power
