STEAMER FREDERICA
Tried to Force Her Way
Through Delaware Mines.
PATROL THREATENED TO SHOOT


CAPT. w. f. p. JACOBS MAKES A
PROTEST TO MAJOR RAYMOND
BECAUSE HIS PASSENGERS
WE'RE FRIGHTENED.
Another case Of foolishly trying. to
ignore the mines in the Delaware river
has just been made public. and the man
who would so rashly risk the loss of
his ship and the lives of his crew and
passengers is Captain w. #. r. Jacobs,
of the steamer F'rederica, and formerly
Of the steamer Brandywine, OF this
city.
The captain. it seems, tried to pass
through the mines before daylight and
the patrol boat had to threaten to stop
him with a shot before he would stop
mis- steamer. The captain lodged
complaint against the patrol boat with
Major Raymond. to which the major
replied in a very decided manner
1T appears from your statement" ="
said Major Raymond in his reply, that
on the morning Of May you attempted
10 approach the channel buOyed
through the mines before daylight and
the sergeant in charge of the guard
boat told you that if you did not come
to he would bring you to with q gun.
/ You were apparently violating theregu-
lations established for navigating the
| Delaware river in time of war, and it
was the sergeants duty to stop you at
oil hazards, and to fire upon you If nee
essary for that purpose.
| "These mines are established for the
protection Of the important mililary
/ and commercial interests of the Della

| The passage of friendly vessels hey
must be kept in perfect order. The
regulations established for navigating
the river are absolutely necessary TO in
sure efficiency and safety, and they
must be strictly enforced.
Your principal cause OF complaint
appears to be that your passengers
were scared by the sergeant's conduct
They ought to have been. The passage
Of a steam vessel through the mine
fields is in the highest degree danger

with instructions"

ERASING EXTRA FAT.
CONSOLATION FOR THE WOMAN OK
TOO MUCH FLESH.

MussOtherapy Is in Great Vogue.
Away, and There You Are, Pre-
ciseIy Right.
New York, Nov. 25.-Healthy human flesh
is not so solid so Obstinate or so quick
of growth that it cannot be successfully
checked or removed without injury to the
wellbeing. spirits or good looks Of its pos
SCISSOR. On exactly the same principle any
fairly wealthy person can acquire hard
flesh by other means than eating cream
tarts and abstaining from exercise. This
will be cheering news perhaps to many
thousands of American women who far
comfort or vanity's sake heartily deplore
the fact that only by the sweat of their
brows or by monkish abstinence have
they hitherto been able to keep their
pounds an proportion to their inches.
The pleasant assurance comes from an
American man, who says this desired equi-
librium can be certainly maintained and
neither dieting nor tremendous manual
labor need be the means resorted to. Diet
ing has been faithfully tried and 1t has
always proven as injurious as it is eff
effective, while physical exercises is all
very wen in theory, but there are mighty
few busy women who can or will take
enough Of it or follow severe athletics per-
sistently enough TO overcome the inclin-
alton toward the formation of adipose
tissue.
Now, what this man says and speaks
by the book is that all superabundant
flesh arises from some defect in the
method by which the sadly overtaxed
American stomach makes use of the foods
put in it. As a race we eat rather fat
tening foods on the whole, and the weight
and bulk produced from them is not actu-
ally hard close knit flesh, but an ever
thickening coat of such loose fat as Is
found OVERLAPPING the bodies of fowls and
animals penned and fed for fairs and
markets.
Given the proper encoura cement this

rapidity and invariable efficacy, and no
particular effort Or will strength is re-
quired to keep it in operation. The OBJ
ject of its use is to secure exactly the
same effect on the fatty tissues and the
muscles as the hands of the skilled mas
seuse, with the blessed difference that
no particular skill is necessary in its en-
ployment, and on experimenting with 1t
the general effect will be found superior
to the labor of the human hand.
As a rule with women, fat grows here
and there over the body without refer
ence to symmetry or comfort. 1t collects

bust, about the abdomen, chin and Oft
en- either above or below the knee.
fat woman is bound In the course of time
to grow round-shouldered, the whole abdo-
men protrudes, the chin hangs like folds
of a curtain, on the chest. This is, OF
course, due first to the weight of fat and
again to the fact that the fat cells enter
and weaken the muscles.
How to Use 1t.
Armed with a muscle roller the indi-
dividual cursed with flesh will, in the
morning, after her bath, slip into her Wooi
or cotton underclothing and roller in hand
attack her enemy. Back and forth over
the hips, up and down she win run her
roller. This she can do till the hips cry
out for mercy, for at preliminary use OF
the roller it viii seem to bruise the f1esn
and excite the languid muscles like a first
game of golf or a long horseback ride.
Next she can attack her upper arms, run
ming the roller from elbow to shoulder ana
never across the muscles, for the advant-
ages of the roller is that it increases the
circulation, eXcites the muscles to effort
and brings a hard even pressure on the
deep tissues and not merely on the sur
face of the skin As a matter of fact, the
rubber wheels excite no surface friction az
all; roll them up the arm and easily as
you can do it you will feel them down to
your bones while the skin itself is scarce
ly disturbed.
Herein lies the prime virtue of this tool
If you ask a masseuse to treat you for
flesh she will try and dissipate the fat
cells by kneading and pounding. Sne
must exert her efforts to get beneath the
skin and that is what the roller does all
the times. 1t goes right at the muscles
and sends the fat cells flying. They can
not form. neither can they exist under
the rotation of those rubber-tired wheels.
If a woman proposes to use the roller to
best effect she should buy and hang up in
her room a diagram of the direction of all
the muscles in her body and whatever
point in her frame she proposes 20 reduce
it is wisest always to learn the course
of the muscles there. rolling them as they
run. To knit VI the muscles of her ab-
domen she viii treat herself up and down
each side of it and night and morning run
her roller as often as a hundred times in
one spot.
After the first few days all feeling OF
soreness viii pass Off, and then the effects
Of the treatment begin 70 show By regu-
lar exercise Of the rings as much as hve
