The Shamrock's Chances.

LONDON, July 81. The Yacht ng
| World issued today, contains long arti-
Gle on the Shamrock's chances in the con-
tests for the Americas cup Starting up
on the assumption that the Vigilant and
Brittania were equal, the writer argues
that the Shamrock showed herself to be
capable of beating the Britannia in mod
crate breeze rs to 26 minutes over 80
mile course. With time allowance the
Shamrock's net superiority would be Is
to 20 minut es. AS the Defenders superb
GRITTY over t he Vigilant in sailing the same
course is estimated at six minutes, and
the Columbia's superiority over the De-
fender is assumed to be three minutes, it is
estimated that the Columbia's superiority
over the Vigilant is nine minutes. There
fore according to the Yachting Worlds
article there are excellent grounds for be-
lief that in the present condition of both
yachts the Shamrock will win.

More Money Than He Cnn Spend.

The average man Is bothered because
he hasn't money enough to spend, but
Mr.. James F. Burns of Cripple Creek,
Col. is embarrassed for the very oppo-
site reason. TO tell the plain truth, it
keeps Mr.. Burns-Jimmie, they call
him out West-busy devising ways to
get rid of his surplus revenue. He has
ever so much more money than he can
spend in any reasonable way. His in
come is about $4,000 a month, and,
being a bachelor with modest wants,
it can be seen that he is actually suf-
tering with a plethora of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable pleasant
spoken man of about As years. and is
President of the biggest gold mine in
the world, the Portland, Of which he IS
also chief owner. One month its out
put of the yellow metal was 1925, 900, or

was in Cuba for ten years. There is
lots OF gold down there, but l spent a
fortune trying to get it out of the
ground. The thieving Spaniards won't

OCEAN MYSTERIESl
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.


Vessels Which Have Sailed and Never Been
Heard of-The Marie Celeste--An Ameri-
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards, heard from, it
is put down as mystery of the sea.
When a dead body encased in an I'M
identified life-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, is recorded as a
mystery of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump of distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows OF the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries of the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
but the cruel old ocean never does
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptune's care than those of the miss
ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back. So did the City Of
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and a score of others.
Yet the disappearance of these craft
are ordinary mysteries Of the sea. A
greater mystery. still is when a crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace of those who
had been in charge Of her.
Such a case was that Of the Marie
Celeste, and it is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance OF
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
ject of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and it is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she was toWeo lnto
port as sound as a new coin, but her
people, numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child Of the skipper. have
not been heard of from that day to this.
The name of the captain of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, aud he
hailed from New England In addition
to the little six-year-old daughter who
shared the fate of the crew, whatever
it was, the captain had boy ten years
old. 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face of. the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now OF the
mystery as he did twenty years ago.

A Wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So frequently and at such length.
For verbiage is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than OF
strength.
But since the noise Of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and
through,
And sorrows rose where'er we'd look,
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, tlibustering sprite.
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright,
We not confess things might be
worse.
So, patriot men of north and south,
While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Mako haste to close the lannon's
mouth
And give the orators chance.

THE BRAZNELL DISASTER.
Four More BOdies Have Beeu Recovered
from the Mins-Ths Pathetic scenes
About the M0rgus.

Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 26.-Work at
Braznell mines is progressing very
slowly. The country roads from
Brownsville to. The mine nre almost
impossible and there Is no telegraph
or telephone connections with Braz-
nell, so all news from the mine has to
be brought overland, -Four more
bodies have been recovered but not
identified. Some of the families OF
the doomed men are IN suffering con-
dition and provisions are being sent
out by the Brownsville merchants as
well as from Uniontown The men
who have been working since Satur-
day to recover the bodies are almost
exhausted, yet they refuse to give up
and keep at the grim work doggedly,
though more dead than alive, The
fact that last Saturday was pay day
at the mine and that there was no
empty wagons to load, accounts for
many not going INTO the mine that
morning. Had the accident occurred
any other day there would have been
more than 100 men In the mine and
the result would have been more ap-
pallng than it is. The scenes about
the morgue yesterday and last night
were such as to bring tears to many
strong heart. AS the burned and
bleeding bodies were carried from the
shaft, wives and children would fight
frantically to get 20 the corpses, and
when held back by strong arms,
would weep pitifully and plead to be
allowed to enter the morgue and find
their lost ones. II is an occurrence
that can never be forgotten by any
one who witnessed ii. Some of the
bodies have been removed to their
homes, and will be buried to-day.
A pathetic story is told of little Al
bert Meese, who died after being res
cued. lie lived only few steps from
the shaft. He went TO the window
Saturday morning and looked out,
saying to his father; Papa, guess
there is no use for me going TO work
this morning, as there is no loading"
The father said he had better go and
help him feed the mules. They both
started out together and never re-
turned to their home alive
Sad sad, was the Christmas day to
many family about Braznell. In
fact, the excitement caused by the
terrible accident had driven all
thought Of the holiday festivities
from the homes Of all who live in the
neighborhood, even those who have
no friends killed. The search for the
bodies still goes on.
