poor Tourist season.

Contrary to all expectations. the Ameri-
can tourist season in Europe has been the
worst in many years. 1t had been antici-
pated that the jubilee of Queen Victoria
and of King oscar would attract large
numbers of transatlantic visitors. but the
shipping returns show a decline of no less
than so per cent. in first and second
class passenger traffic below the figures
of the season of 1896, which demonstrated
that over $4,000 American tourists had
been disembarked at English ports alone,
without taking into account those who
landed at continental ports. Assuming
that American tourists carry abroad an
average of at least LOCO each, it is mani
fest that the falling off in the ~transat-
lantic passenger traffic during the sum
mer must have resulted in a great beneht
to the United States, as the money re
NAMED in the country, instead OF gong
abroad.

LAST YEARS PIRACY RECORD
Italian Ship Seized by the Riffs
British Ships Looted in the
Straits of Malacca.

That piracy on the high seas is by no
means a thing of the past-that it did not
cease with the suppression of the bucea-
neers of the Spanish main-is well known.
But the past year seems to have been espe-
cially prolific in piratical deeds, and proves
that the maritime powers will have to de-
vote some OF their ships to the suppression
of this crime against the laws Of nations
and the welfare Of mankind.
Tho last important piracy was commit
ted something over two months ago when
a ship bound from New York to Mar
settles was captured by pirates soon after
she had entered the Mediterranean sea. 1t
was the Italian ship Freducia, command
ed by Captain Maccetta.
Off the coast of Maroceo she became be-
Gained, and being caught in a swift cur
rent was carried ashore. AS soon as she
touched an armed band of Riffs swarmed
around her in their boats and boarded
her. The Riffs overpowered the crew and
stripped the vessel Of all the money and
clothing on board and of everything else
movable. Then they took the captain and
several sailors to hold for ransom and put
ashore, promising to return and dispose OF
the rest of the crew later.
While the pirates were ashore a breeze
sprang up, and as the ship had only
touched lightly the crew remaining on
board was able to work her off the shoal
and stand out over toward the coast of
Europe out of the pirates reach. So far
as is known, the captain has not been ram
somed nor has Italy sent any man-of-war
to punish the Riffs.
About two months before this Italian

was married at the parsonage to Miss
Jennie Bird, an estirnable young lady, by
the Rev. William Cornwell. Some of the
villagers soon learned of the affair, and
a few Of the boiGerous young fellows in
the vicinity decided to give the couple
a serenade.
1t was discovered that Mr.. Ridgway
and his bride had gon directly to their
new home after the ceremony and about
IL o'clock that night the s~erenaders.
armed with tom-toms, washboilers, horns,
etc. assembled in front of RidgWay's
house, and at a given signal pulled the
orchestra wide open. h shock threw
Mr.. Ridgway out of bed, and thoroughly
alarmed his, bride AS soon as he realiz-
ed what was up the former went down
stairs and handed a box of cigars out the
window for distribution among the sere-
naders, who thereupon promised to retire,
but no sooner had Mr.. Ridgway fallen
asleep t&an the racket commenced again.
Finally the serenaders broke open the
door, rushed upstairs and pulled Mr..

aftcYward was found that the woman, who
had not been searched, had concealed I'M

and deadly knives just fitted for piratical
work.
The day after leaving Erid, while the
captain and Chief Engineer Cragie were
at dinner in the saloon, six armed Achl-
nese burst in and attacked them fercely.
The officers were unarmed, but defended
themselves the best they could with chairs.
Though they were terribly slashed about
the head and hands, they managed to light
their way to the deck. Cragie ran to tire
engine room, where he bolted the door and
was safe. The captain, however, was
killed and literally hacked to pieces by
the knives of the Achinese.
The pirates then attacked the mate and
the quarterlnaster, who were on the
bridge, and killed them. Two OF the crew
and two Chinese passengers were Killed
on the deck and the rest terrified into non
resistance. Then the ship was looted and
tho safe opened and SIS, 900 taken from 1t.
The pirates lowered two boats, and load

WHY THE CARS ARE BROWN.

The Traction Company are changing
the color of their cars as rapidly as pos
sible from yellow to brown. or Indian red.
This is being done because the company
nave discovered that yellow is unservice-
able for many reasons. In the first place
it is difficult to obtain a uniformity OF
color and the color rapidly fades and as
sumes a dirty tone. On the other hand,
the brown color lasts longer, maintains
its tone. looks better and is easily re-
placed. For these reasons. in a few days,
all the Montgomery street. Pacific ave
nue., Court Hous and Erie street cars
will be painted brown like the cars or
the Newark and Bayonne lines.
