IN A HAREM.
Z" Jim Price Had His Life Saved
BV a Missionary

Sam Marks, of the Wilson circus.
tells very interesting tale concerning
Jim Price, the balloon and ring man
who was here with and after the Wirth
circus. Price went out to the Orient
after leaving Honolulu. In Hongkong
he joined Wilson and made balloon
ascents and parachute jumps along the
line TO Singapore, Siam and North Chit
ma.
1t was at Bangkok, in Siam, that
Price had the adventure of his life. He
made magnificent ascent under royal
auspices. Marks says that Price went
almost into the clouds and looked
about the size of 80 cents when he cut
loose with the parachute.
Price fioated down very prettily, but
of all mishaps in the world had the bad
luck to land in the garden of the ruler s
harem. Great, savage, black caretak-
ers rushed upon the intruder with
swords, knives and spears. The inten-
ton was to dispatch him at once. The
infiexible rule is to kill an intruder.
The life of Price was saved. An Am
erican missionary girl, Miss Elliott
who was instructing the inmates OF The
harem, some "a in number, interposet
for the welfare of the unfortunate
visitor. At imminent risk of her owl
life she leaped between Price and th'
guards. The balloonist was hustled
from the place and left the country a
once. Price is now in South Africa

Anniversary Day of the knights
of PythiaS. /.

Today begins the thirty-fifth year
of the life of the secret fraternal and
beneficiary society known as the
knights of Pythias. In Hawaii there
are lodges of the order on this Island,
Maui and Hawaii with a large mem
bership on Kauai, the knights in the
group numbering about 800. In the
United States and Canada there are
nearly half million Knights with
many very wealthy lodges. knights
become members Of the Uniform and
Endowment ranks, one the military
and the other the insurance feature
of the order. 1t is society OF Am
erican origin. The first lodge was es-
tablished at Washington, D. c., by
men who thought it best to band to-
gether for mutual interest. Since that
time 1S64) the order has grown stead
lily in strength and good works.
Justus Henry Rathbone, who died
December 8, 1889, was the founder OF
the order. He was never member
of any other secret society, but was
devout and faithful Christian, deep
~ impressed with the glory Of God
the divinity of the Savior and the heart
of man. His ritual was based upon
the story of Damon and Pythias. Il
was his statement that he merely re-
duced to practice a theory that had
been operative for centuries.

of Pythias, with many prominent men
of the community as members. In the
societies good fellowship obtains and
the sick and distressed are quickly re
lieved. The knights have a hall on
Fort street and will today display the
flag of the Order.

NERVOUS BREAK DOWN.
1T COMES TO THE PREACHER FROM
OVER STUDY AND BRAIN TIRE.
1t Comes to Any Person, Too, Who
Worries and Frets.

1t Comes to Any Person, Too, Who
Worries and Frets.
A breaking down of the nervous
system" is a modern expression,-a
modern complaint. 1t is induced by
prolonged strain and the overtaxing
of the nervous system, and is pro-
duct of over hurry and hustle 1t
affects the preacher and the lawyer
the direct result of brain tire. 1t
affects people in any walk of life, too,
who worry and fret. 1t means a. de-
pleting of the nerve forces. The best
thing for restoring health in such
cases is DR.. Williams Pink Pills, the
reputation of which is built up by solid
and indisputable proof
AS a proof of its merits in such
cases, read the following letter of a
Clergyman:
DR.. Williams Med. Co.,
/ Schenectady, n. Y.
Dear Sirs,-In April, 1896, | was a
| hopeless case, owing to complete
breaking down of my nervous system
and a persistent stomach trouble. l

benefit. | had been down four times
with nervous prostration and twice
with gastritis These attacks would
come with such violence as to throw
me into spasms. The time came when
physicians said | must stop preaching
or die. | would be so exhausted after
the last service on Sunday that | could
scarcely get from the pulpit. Many 6

dared not allow my bare feet to a:
much as touch the cold carpet or floor
to say nothing of taking a cold foo
bath. If l did I was Immediately seiz
ed with cramps. In this condition
commenced to take DR.. Williams Pink
pills for Pale People. I took one boz
and felt no better-in fact worse.
L
wife urged the matter, feeling my lif'
depended upon the result, as everything
else had failed, and 1 was FUSED up.

Since then, and it has been severa

DAN DE GUILE
 IS NO MORE William Wright Passes Away in an Iowa
 Town. Was a Contemporary of Mark Twain in the Early Days
 of Nevada. Spent Thirty Years ss a Local Writer on the Territorial Enterprise
 of Virginia City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VIRGINIA CITY, March 30.-News has just reached here that William Wright (Dan De Quille) died at the home of his daughter at West Lafay- cite, Iowa, on March 16. He was one of the Comstocla pioneers, arriving here in 1S59 and mined in Gold Canyon, near Johntown, Lyon County. During his sojourn there he furnished mining and other items for the Comstock papers.
 Wright began his Journalistic career as a local writer on the Territorial En- terprise in 1860 and held that position continuously for nearly thirty years. He was associated at various times with writers who subsequently attain ed celebrity, among them were Mark Twain, R. M. Daggett and c. c. Good win. In 1876 he resigned his position for a few months and went to the home of his former associate Mark Twain, where he revised material for volume issued that year entitled, Big Bonan- za," the funds for which were furnish ed by John w. Mackay. The book proved a poor investment, as the con- tents related exclusively to men promi- nent in the history of Nevada, the Comstock Lode and the State mining industry; therefore it was devoid of general interest.
 From 1876 until 1888 Wright was em- ployed as local writer on the Enter prise, and about the latter date he en- tered the field of romance, writing short stories for popular magazines and syn dicate letters for various publications. Becoming too feeble to continue his literary work. he left for his daughters s home last fall, where his busy life ended.
 He possessed an inexhaustible fund of material gathered in his long jour nalistic career, was a marvelously pro- life writer of deep scientific knowledge and had the faculty of investing con- monplace matter with interest. Through all of his productions a quaint vein of humor is discernible.

PUTATIVE. CHILDREN
 OF KASSON DEFEATED

STOCKTON, March 3o.-The Kasson will case, over which there has been such a great legal struggle, in which so many lawyers have been engaged on both sides and during which there have been so many sensations, was decided in favor of the defense by Judge Jones to-day. The case was submitted without argument, and the decision defeats George W. Tindy and Mrs. Mann. who alleged that they were legitimate children of Kasson, the deceased capitalist There was more than $500 900 involved in the case.
 After all the evidence was in this after noon the attorneys for the claimants moved for a continuance, and created a sensation by reading atIidavits stating that they could prove by the court rec ords of St Louis that no divorce was granted to Mary A. Kasson between lS47 and 1S73 Numerous witnesses in Los An geles. Arkansas and Missouri were named by whom they could prove that the testi- mony of Mrs. Malloy was untrue that she had children and that she was not the Mary Hayden who married George M. Kasson.
 The motion for continuance was de- nied and this may furnish sufficient ground for a new trial.

It Is Found That They Cannot Work Day and Night Con-
 tinuOusly.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VALLEJO, March 30.-Tke navy yard is dark tonight. For the first time since the war scare gave such an impetus to the work there the night shift has been allowed to stay away. It was found that some of the men were breaking down, so it was decided to let night work go for at least one night in the week.
 The steamer Modoc tied up at the yard this afternoon and took away the small guns of the Charleston, Phila- delphia and Yorktown. They were taken up the river to Sacramento, and from there they will go by rail to the Norfolk navy yard. It is supposed they are destined for the mosquito fleet be- ing organized in the East.
 The Monterey has taken all her stores on board and it is expected she will leave for the city tomorrow. When she has gone the Monadnock will take her place at the quay wall and she, too, will have her magazines, store rooms and bunkers filled. To-day was pay day in the construction department, and during the noon hour the men lined up to receive their money. There were S06 men paid off, involving an amount close to $30,000. This number does not represent all the men at work, for there are over 200 more who did not go to work until after March 10. They will figure on the next payroll, which, it is expected, will be the largest the con- struction department has ever had.
 The old monitor Camanche was given dock trial to-day and reports are that she worked very satisfactorily. A gang of men from the Monterey made steam on her, and her engines were kept go- ing most of the afternoon

BROOKS HAD
 MANY ALIASES
Swindler Arrested at Ta- coma Pronin ent in
 the East.
Taught School for Twenty Years in Michigan and
 Wisconsin.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March 30.-It develops that Marion Brooks, arrested several weeks ago for defrauding Eastern publishers, was a prominent man back In Michigan and Wisconsin, where he taught school for twenty years, holding State certi- ficates. In Michigan he was known by the name of Tripp, which is thought to be his right name. In the West he has gone under the names of Brooks, Charles Brown, Charles Lyon and John w. Wilson.
 The Federal authorities allege that Brooks has been using the mails with intent to defraud Macmillan & Co.,, Rand, McNally & Co, Harper Brothers, the Werner Company and several other publishing houses. He has claimed to be the clerk of school boards of Ta- coma and other cities, requesting the publishers to send him consignments of books to be paid for on arrival, His supposed object was then to sell the books to local book firms, pocketing the proceeds. The Federal attorney s office has advices that one consignment of books sold in Seattle brought him S150 He is known to have been in Los Angeles and his alleged operations in other cities are being investigated.
 |. Macmillan & Co. of Chicago and E. F. Goodyear, Macmillan's agent at 319 Sansome street, San Francisco, were instrumental in effecting Brooks cap- ture He wrote to the Chicago house as Charles Lyon and to San Francisco as John Wilson. The Chicago house forwarded it's order to San Francisco. The difference in the names used aroused suspicious. The agency here was asked to investigate, it's inquiry resulting in the placing of the corre- spondence in the hands of the Federal authorities, who captured Brooks at the postoffice when he called for his mail.
 It is believed Brooks will confess, thereby reducing his probable sentence. He spends his time in Jail studying French and German and reading the Bible. His family in Michigan does not know of bis trouble. He has prom inent connections at Kenosha, Madison and Pewaukee, Wis, and hopes to guard his identity so they will not learn of his disgrace.

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS MISSION.
Probably Gone to Protect the Oregon
Starvation in Havana.

Key West, May 5.-This harbor is
again empty. Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet has sailed and the situation
is one of renewed expectancy. There
Is strong impression prevailing that
the next news from the fleet will tell
Of an important engagement OF the
same character as the Asiatic squad
rcn's Manila victory. Until then no in
teresting developments are expected
here, except possibly the bringing in of
new prizes.
Where the vessels have gone is Of
fcally unannounced. but surmise is
plentiful and varied. The fact that the
big battleships and monitors coaled to
their fullest capacity before steaming
away is taken to indicate a plan occu-
pying considerable time. The belief
most generally credited is that the
fleet has gone to protect the Oregon
from a possible attack by the Spanish
feet which recently left Cape Verde
and is now unoficially reported to have
returned to Cadiz
According to Captain Little. of the
fishing schooner Antonio Paco, cap
tured by the gunboat Newport a few
days ago, Havana is on the verge of
famine. Food is bringing fabulous
prices and the people are consequently
starving. Tho soldiers are sei2ing
whatever provisions are accessible,
and citizens are burying their food in
yards and cellars. IF l could have

tain Little, my fish would have
