FERBER PIED THE TYPE.
Made the Scrantonian Office Look as
if a Whirlwind Struck It.

II. f. Ferber, ex-chief of the fire de-
partment, created havoc in the Scran-
tonian office Yesterday morning.
Sunday that paper abused Ferber in
a way that was not at all pleasing TO
him. He went around yesterday morn

full board was present and while many

subject considered was whether or not
Fox, the birdman, should be allowed

of prominent citizens. including Dr..
ID. B. Hand, Fred Godfrey and c. p.
Jadwin were present to make protest
against the store of Mr.. Fox.
Health officer Allen started the ball
rolling when he read his monthly re-
port In it he said that numerous
complaints have come to him regard
ing the place in the past few months;
he had made a number of visits to the
store and found it clean in every way.
He said that the complaints, being
principally against the noise produced
by the animals offered for sale, in his
opinion he had no authority in the
matter.
He quoted the manual by which he
is guided and read the definition of a
nuisance as being anything dangerous to
human life or health, anything that
renders water unwholesome, or any
thing regarding the proper Ventilation
of buildings.
In conclusion he said that "the
voices of giant roosters who begin
their mathis promptly at II p. m. and
keep them up until after susrise are
far from soothing. but what can be
| expected of "A bird with a baritone voice
compelled to practice Chromatic scales.

Spanish hounds or beagles strike a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of forced

years in rewriting the Scriptures. He
is a compositor, with q wonderful gift
of turning out beautiful writing, and in
the time mentioned he has managed to
reach the middle of the Psalms. In
two years he anticipates that the con-
Guiding verses will have been written.
A feature of this remarkable Bible will

More Money Than He Can 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-

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 plethora of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable, pleasant

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 $125 600 or
Just one-tenth of the entire production
Of the Cripple Creek district.
Said Mr.. Burns: II have lived in Col
orado eleven years, and before that
was in Cuba for ton years. There is
lots of gold down there, but spent a
fortune trying to get 1t out Of the

OCEAN MYSTERIES.
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 Towed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, 1t
is put down as a mystery OF the sea-
When a dead body encased in an I'M
identified lfe-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 a distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyWard; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
cling from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams ana
blanks 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 III Ola
Neptune's care than those Of the miss
ing ship. The Narohic 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" aspircd to
be, The remarkable disappearance or
the Celeste's crow was made the sub
iect 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 au 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 toWod INTO
port as sound as 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, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
20 the little six-year-old daughter who
thared the fate Of the crew, whatever
1t 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.
