sTowAwAY ON A BATTLE-sHlP


The most extraordinary story comes
Iby way Of o Lewiston man who not long
Iago visited the MINNIE and heard the
STORY from one Of the sailors. II seems
lthat a San Francisco man was shang-
lhaied from the city Of The Golden Gate
10y a japanese trading vessel, That IS,
he was got drunk by one Of The sailors
acting in the employ % the captain Of
1.-THE ship, and when he was fully intoNi-
Icated he was carried on board the ycs-
Isel and slowed Ia a bunk in the crews
quarters.
when be came to himself the vessel
was Il long distance outside OF the gold
en- bars, and the man was very mad, He
lgot into the cabin Of the captain and
would have killed him but for the fact
Ithat he WIS overcome from behind by
the mate, who shut off his wind With a
piece Of rope made w a moose, The
unmauageable hunghaied was PIT into
the glory hole to cool of on bread and
water.
At the end Of 1--WE days the cnptain
called down and inquired 81 he wautcd

answer was a hallooed invitation for

A NOTE OF WARNING.

People at this time of the year should be more
careful than ever 10 check the progress OF ca
tarrhal trouble and eradicate from the system
every symptom Of catarrhal poison. In no other
instance is the trite saying, An ounce OF pre-
Yentiun is better than 4 pound of cure more
applicable.
The treatment Of Doctor Cowden, II taken IN
time will by restoring the air passages 10 healthy
and normal condition, and by strengthening and
building up the system, prevent an attack OF
the Grip, Bronchitis, Neuralgia, or possibly that
very fatal malady, Pneumonia.
This restoration and protection is not accom-
pished by the old fashioned, nauseOus and some
times harsh methods. On the contrary, there IS
bur little internal medication required. The irri-
tated thickened, reddened, and sensitive mem
brane Inning nose, throat. and bronchial tubes
are restored 10 their normal state by the in
halation Of a fine medicated yapor which IS gently
breathed into the nose throat, and lungs
The true value Cf the benefits derived can only
he appreciated by those who have are now
taking treatment change in the membrane
takes place almost from the start, and those pa
iicnts who have taken thorough course can eN-
pose themselves almost recklessly to draughts,
dampness, etc, without experiencing any bad
results

GREAT SHIPS SAIL.
The Oregon and Iowa Weigh Anchor
mt New York for Manila.


mt New York for Manila.
New York. Oct. 1.-TWO battleships
moved slowly out through the whitecaps
on Quarantine at 1:23 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, followed by three smaller ves-
sells. The big vessels were the Oregon
and the Iowa, which, after traversing 49,
0eO miles of ocean, are expected to report
10 Admiral Dewey, on the other side OF
the world. The warships made an i'm
pressive picture as they started on the
journey.
The orders to sail were received by
Capt Albert c. Barker directly from
Washington. Capt. Barker commands
the Oregon, and is the senior officer of
the squadron, being two numbers above
the commander of the Iowa, Capt. Silas
w. Terry. These two officers were class
mates in the Naval Academy
Capt. Barker had been waiting for the
order for several weeks. He received it
on Tuesday evening and preparations
were Immediately made to get under
way. The anchors were weighed about
1 o'clock yesterday, and soon afterward
the vessels started seaward.
The auxiliary craft were the refriger-
ator ship Celtic and the colliers Sterling
and Scindia. The distilling ship Iris is to
follow the squadron In a day or two.
She is still at the navy yard, but can east
ly overtake the other ships, which are
travelling at a speed of nine knots an
hour.
The squadron is to sail down the At
lantic. through the Straits of Magellan
and by way of Honolulu to Manila, unless
contrary orders are given on the way.
1t will be almost four months before Capt.
hfS nry-t&r IN raI
Dewey
The first port the squadron will make Is
Bahia, 1900 miles from New York, which
1t Is expected to reach in three weeks.
Should the international conditions change
In the meantime Capt Barker can then
be ordered to change his course if neces-
sary. Three colliers will be waiting at
that port-the Abenvenda, the Jason and
the Cassius. They will accompany the
battleships to their journeys end. Should
it be necessary the big vessels can coal
at sea, as each of the Golfers is provided
with cotton bale tenders.
Rio Janeiro will be the second stopping
point. 1t is believed that the vessels will
be there in time to take part in the cere-
monies attendant upon the inauguration
of the new president of Brazil on Novem-
ber 10. There, again, Capt Barker will be
in telegraphic touch with Washington. 1t

will leave Rio until the treaty of peace
with Spain has been signed.
All the vessels are in splendid condition
for the work. Each of them has been dry
docked and thoroughly overhauled. New
gun mounts have been placed on the Ore
gon and Iowa. Those of the latter We're
tested outside Sandy Hook last week and
found to be thoroughly satisfactory.
The ships are expected TO make 200 miles
a day. They would proceed more rapidly
were 1t not for the fact that some of the
power of the Iris and Celtic must be used
for auxiliary work.
The Celtic is commanded by Lieutenant
Commander n. ]. K. Patch, the Scindia

There was genuine novelty in the
cricket match played on the grounds OF
the Philadelphia Cricket Club at Wissa- :
hickon Heights, Pa, on Saturday in
which the contesting teams were made I'M
entirely of women. Good PLAYING on
both sides was one of the surprises of
the afternoon, several of the fair sex
showing that with a little more practice
they could give points on the game to
some of the male devotees of the sport
Times have changed, and we are glad to

Trace of Her Lost.

Trace of Her Lost.
Danbury, Conn, Oct. 13.-Oscar Schrei-
Der, jr, young Bethel merchant, is
nearly distracted over the disappearance
of his wife, who has been missing for
three days, and today he sought the aid
of the police of this city in finding her.
Mrs. Schneider is pretty, nineteen years
On the morning of her disappearance she
told her husband that she was going TO
Danbury to call upon a friend. He did
not think 1t strange that she was not
home at dinner time, and when she did
not return at night thought that she had
remained with her friend
He learned the next day that she had not
been at the home of the Danbury friend.
He sought for her in vain Although Beth
parentIy dropped out of sight between the
two places. She was last seen upon an
electric car coming toward Danbury
The Danbury fair was in process of
breaking up when the young woman went
away, and the police thought It possible
that she might have been lured away by
gypsies or by some one of the vaudeville
companies which were at the fair but
she had never shown any inclination for
the stage and her refined tastes would not
permit her voluntarily to become a men,
Der of gypsy band. A young woman
answering her description is said to have
been seen at one of the railway stations
in this city on the morning of her disap-
pearance, but beyond that no possible
clew has been found. -zsf

KELLEY WILL BE REFEREE.
Corbett Objects to His Holding the
Stakes. However.

New York, Oct l3-John Kelley was
selected yesterday TO act as referee of
the fight arranged between Jim Corbett
and Tom Sharkey which is TO take place
at the Lenox Athletic Club on November
% for a $4,000 purse.
When the match was arranged Kelley
was unanimously selected as stakehold-
er. O'Rourke wanted Kelley to still hold
the forfeits of the men, but Corbett said
II would be injudicious to have one man
act as stakeholder and referee. Kelley.
accordingly, relinquished his former Of
fee in favor of Frank Farrell, the horse
man. The S5.OO0, representing forfeits of
s. 500 each which the fighters have de-
posted were transferred to Farrell last
night.
