THE SAILORS STORY.
Capt. Maddoclss of the Schooner Matte
Holmes Has Troubles of His own.

Can't. Maddocks of the schooner Matti,
Holmes, complained to Shipping Com
missioner folman on Monday that
negro sailor whom he had shipped al
Bangor had been utterly worthless to hin
and had refused to work MIR. Tolmar
took pains to investigate this story and
found that the sailor had not been fairiy
treated by Captain Maddocks.
The negro, whose name Is James a.
Paris, says he did not refuse to leave the
schooner; he only wanted what wages
were due him at the rate of $s5 m ontn,
which sum, he said, was stipulated IN the
articles when he signed them at Bangor.
He also wanted hospital receipt from
the captain, claiming he had received In
juries while on board that incapacltateo
him from work. He added that Captain
Maddocks had abused him while on board
ship.
The shipping commissioner sent out g
letter by Paris requesting Captain Mad
docks to come ashore with the ship S
articles and one of his men, Paris took
the letter out but the captain refused
to receive it, whereupon the negro left it
lying on the house.
As the day advanced no signs were seer
at the shipping commissioner office O
Captain Maddocks SO about five p M,
Deputy Commissioner Gallagher tool
Paris and went out to the Holmes.
Captain 5Maddocks said he had agreed tt
pay Paris off at the rate of $40 month
for the twelve days he had been on board
without hospital receipt or give him
the receipt but no wages.
The deputy asked why 500 instead of
$25, and the captain replied that that wa
the wages agreed upon. The deputy asket
TO see the articles and they very plainl.
showed that the original figures hal beer
changed from Ss5 to $50.
The captain was very abusive to thu
deputy and to the negro, calling til,
latter deserter and the former 8
meddler, etc.
The truth of the matter is that Paris
went with the Sheridan Rifles and WA
paid off and mustered out ut the Armory
recently so the deserter charges are un
deserved.
Deputy Gallagher carried out the com.
missioner's instructions and ordered TIN
captain not to leave port until he had set
tied with Paris. When yesterday morn
ing dawned, however, the Holmes had
gone, and Paris has given his bill to B
+. Thompson, ESQ.,, attorney, to collect
oric x<rf NJ
vessels sailing when ordered not to dc
SO by the United States commissioner.
AS nearly as can be found out a para
graph in the shipping laws seems to cover
the case in hand 1t states that when q
sailor is discharged without cause before
the termination of a voyage he is entitled
to the wages due him and an additions
months pay at the rate he signed for
The outcome will be interesting.

said Senator Hanna to Georgian in
Washington the other day. And it was

they ought to have. He is now having
some fresh troubles with the workmen in
his shipyard at Cleveland.

LOVE Is RIDICULOUS.
So Says Odd Lady Dcsart In an English
Review.

Review,
For cold blooded, cynical and in every
way mercenary view of matrimOny the
Countess of Dcsart, author Of the article in
defense Of worldly mothers in the current
number of The English National Review,
certainly takes the palm. Lady Desart q;
so many words denouncos love as q ridiCu-
lous, superannuated and altogether super
fuous feature Of marriage, and looks upon
the latter solely from the point of view e
a mercenary contract, in which mothers
with experience of the world are far better
qualified advisers of their daughters than
any one else possibly could be.
Had the article in question been written
by any one else than the Countess of De
sart it would have lost much of it's point
but her own marriage, as every one knows.
was a transaction of the kind which she
champions, and it would be difficult to
find any one possessed of the slightest
knowledge of London society who would
ever have dreamed of attributing motives
of love and affection TO the union which
bound Allen Bischoffsheim, the eldest
daughter of the enormously wealthy Ger
man Hebrew banker in London, to the
penniless and appallingly ugly as well as
socially discredited Earl of Desart who
had been divorced q short time previouslr
from-his first wife, the lady having eloped
with an actor who starred for some time
in the United States under the name Of

$3.50 REWARD.
The Haggard Specific Comply

Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth $3.50, to anyone who may
have used as much as one box of their
tablets without decided benefit. We
have never heard of a single case where
the tablets have failed to give satisfactory
results, and if there is a person to be
found who has used them without bene-
fit we want to know who he is and where
to find him. They never fail to cure
kidney and bladder troubles and affec-
tions of the genital organs and overcome
all debility and weakness in both men
and wo,nen. They improve the appetite,
aid digestion and assimilation and over
come constipation. They have vital eff
feet on all of the secretory organs and es-
tablsh healthy condition of the mu-
cous and gland seCretionS in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi-
tons of the CapillarieS and secure per-
feet circulation Of the blood, so that ev-
cry organ is supplied and every function
issnormal and healthy. Being the only
remedy ever compounded that fully
meets the logical physiological conditions
of the human system, it is no wonder
that they give results unknown to medi-
cal science. No matter if the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are
superior to all known remedies. Their
effect on the nerve centers is complete
surprise to physicians who have used
them. Cases that have baffled the skill
of best physicians and no remedies seem
ed to benefit have been promptly con-
trolled and permanently cured by the
Tablets. Gases where injections of
morphine have been resorted to as the
only means Of even temporary relief have
been promptly controlled By the Tablets
End the trouble completely overcome by
their use. Price: one box 81 co. three
boxes $3.50. This wonderful remedy is
