THE SAILORS DANCE

J. L. Molloy in Temple Bar. Whats he that talks of jig or reel, Who has never been sailor, Or hornpipe seen on a ship of the queen, Or an Arctic ocean whaler? You hear the ring of the bo' sun s call s'For a dance, my lads, all ready; The moon is high in the radiant sky And the old ship going steady" Then it's heel and toe
 To the tuneful bow, And it's all so light and breezy; You may look in France or in Spain for dance,
 But you'll say
 Any day
 That the hornpipe beats them easy. The tar alone has dance of his own, And it takes tar to dance 1t, Though a lasste sweet, with her two little feet, Is the one charm to enhance It. You dance with one or you dance with two, As the notion takes your fancy, In an Indian glade, with dusky maid, Or at home with blue-eyed Nancy!
 For it's heel and toe
 To the tunefu bow,
 And it's all so light and breezy; You may look in France or in Spain for a dance,
 But you'll say
 Any day
 That the hornpipe beats them easy. It speaks of home to the hearts of a crew, And 1t sets us all a-dreamng, As we dance in tune to the light of the
 moon. On lonely ocean gleaming. It takes us back to the home ward track To the friends that soon will greet us; The ringing cheer, as we touch the pier, And the welcome that will meet us.
 Oh it. heel and toe
 To the tuneful bow,
 And it's all so light and breezy; You may look in France or in Spain for a
 dance,
 But you'll say
 Any day
 That the hornpipe beats them easy.

Booker Washington is All Right
From the Lafayette Sun.

From the Iafayette Sun.
 The criticism and abuse heaped upon Booker Washington for his speech at Chicago we think have been wholly unjust. In letter to The Age-Herald Washington explains his attitude to the satisfaction of all unprejudiced minds. He says the negro by thrift, honesty, education and ability may attain the position he merits. He advocates no policy that would put the negro in a position that he is not fitted to occupy. Washington is an honest toiler who is sincere in his position on all mat ters of interest to his race. He tells the same story north that he does south.

Where, then, is Britain's authority in claiming the Teresa? The law is certainly on this side. But the expressions of the Nassau authorities may be simply the echo of a desire on their part to earn few more dollars by doing the wrecking them selves.
 The American nation is not a sentimental nation, and yet every patriot devoutly wishes the addition of the Teresa to our list of fighting craft. Tender recollections cluster around that erstwhile famous cruiser, the pride of the Spanish people. It took a prominent part at the time of the naval review in New York when the Co., lumbian exposition was dedicated The queen regent herself christened its bow seven years ago, when it was launched in Spain. It was Cervera's flagship on that eventful July day, and Hobson raised it from the deep.

phase of the case Is that the dead woman's eyes were closed when the body was found, which is not usual in cases of strangulation. Lochner has identified the piece of cloth which was around the womans neck. It was torn from a towel which she used in making a poultice. He saw her tear the cloth and put the smaller portion in the top Of the washstand drawer. This piece was found knotted about her neck.
 The suspected man seems to know every detail of the tragedy except the identity of the person who committed the murder These things, in the opinion of the detec- tives, have a great significance.
 If Carpenter could be found and he could not give Q satisfactory account or his doings Saturday night Lochner would would take his place in the tanks. But until something tangible Is learned Loch- ner will be detained.

DEATH OF A GREAT
 TR0TTING MARE
ETHEL DOWNS DROPPED DEAD
 IN HER TRACKS.
The Gallant Mare, Holder of 8 Cali fornia Record, Keeps Her Gait
 to the Very End.

The wellknown California bred trotttng mare, Ethel Downs. 2:10. died at the Oakland track on Monday night. She had been frequent contestant at the recent Breeders meeting, winning her first race this season there in 2:121A lower ing the track trotting record on that oc- casion and apparently in the best of fettle. After that, however, she seemed to be weak at the end of her fast miles and was beaten the two or three times she raced. Her final appearance was the closing day Of the meeting. last Saturday In the free-for-all trot, when she made the winner, Toggles, step in 2:13L. to se- cure first honors. The effort was too much for her and on reaching her stall she dropped in her tracks and was un- conscious for some hours. C. F. Bunch, the widely known San Jose reinsman, her trainer and driver. called in several veterinarians, but they held out no hopes from the first, and the gallant little mare finally expired as she lay on her side. moving her fore legs as if she were trot- ting to the very end.
 Ethel Downs was a black mare. Is hands, and the first progeny of the noted sire Doodle, PIP. She held the California trotting record for mares and had bright prospects of adding to her reputation on the track, besides a certainty from her individuality and conformation of making great brood mare.
 It is hard to estimate the financial loss to her owner, Mir. Montgomery of San Jose, in these times when trotters are not salable save al practical prices but it Is not likely that he would have enter talned an offer of much less than 5000.

Police Believe That Lochner Is the Strangler of Three
 Women

Is I,ocbner the man who strangled May McDermott and Bertha Paradis, alias French Bertha?
 This is the question that Is agitating the police. The McDermott woman oc- cupied a den on Morton street before that thoroughfare was ordered closed by the Supervisors Some time ago she was found dead having been strangled by an unknown fiend. few days later the unfortunate French woman was murdered in a similar manner, The latter occupied a den on St. Mary street. and as she was preparing to go home she was attacked by the tend. who promptly strang!ed her.
 AS he was leaving the scene he was seen by a friend of the dead woman, who lives in the adjoining house. After the murder was discovered the friend of the dead woman visited police headquarters and gave description of the man she had seen leaving the house. She described him as being about , feet [ inches in height, had a full beard and wore eye glasses Her description of the supposed murderer tallied exactly with that Of Lochner, with the exception of a beard.

 T never harmed a woman in my life, he excitedly declared, if poor Saule (meaning Mrs. Carpenter was here she would tell you I am innocent of the crime attributed to me"
 Notwithstanding Lochner's denial the police are working on the theory that he not only killed Mrs. Carpenter, but mur- dered both the French women and May McDermott.
 A citizen. whose name the police refuse to divulge, yesterday visited the City Prison, and at once recognized Lochner as the man whom he had seen following a little girl on Fourth street short time ago After approaching her and being repulsed he continued to annoy her with promises of candy. when the citizen. who was a silent observer of his actions, promptly knocked him down.
 The police are now concentrating their efforts in establishing the guilt or Loch ner.

 ECZEMA FROM BIRTH Bsby's Arms Neck Hands and Face Broken out with Red PimpIes.
 Terribly Infamed. Had to Wear Soft Mittens to Keep Her from Scratching. Suffering
 Was Terrible. 2 Leading Physicians Could Not Even Help Her. Tried CUTI- CURA. Immediate Cure.

Our little daughter, now fifteen months old, was troubled from her birth with Eczema. Her face. arms, hands, and neck would break out with red pimples, the parts afflicted would swell and become terribly infamed, water would ooze out like great beads of per spiration, finally this would dry up and the skin would crack and peel of. Sho suffered terribly. Had to wear soft mitters on her hands to keep her from scratching. We gave two of our leading physicians good trial. but neither of them helped her in tho least. I purchased CUTIcURA SOAP, CUTIcUEA (oint- ment), and CUIIcURA REsoLyENT, and com menced using them as follows: After bath ing wiped her with soft linen cloth, applied CUrToURA Cointment) freely. and gave her the REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at oncs and is now never troubled, although we have used less than one bottle of REsoLvENT, three boxes of SALvE, and of course CUT1cURA SOAP.
