GIRL MADE 4 GOOD SAILOR.
Enlisted In Boys Clothes and Was
subsequently Discovered

The Paris Ftgaro's Dunkirk correspond
ent states that the British ship GIenavon.
which has just arrived in that port from
Norfolk, L. s. A. was the scene OF a some
what peculiar incident
When the snip left CardiT on her out
ward voyage among the crew was enrolled
boy about sixteen years old who gave
lis name David J. g. Mckinley. and
stated ne was born in Chicago. on the
voyage he acquitted himself extremely well
and seemed an excellent sailor
When the ship was some days out. how
ever. the startling discovery was made that
Mckinley was 4 woman. The captain
caused special quarters to be given to the
girl. but as there was no female clothin
on board. she had continued to wear male
dress. on arriving at Las Palmas the en-
harrasSed captain went on shore and re-
ported the matter 70 the consul, who offered
TO send the girl back to America
This was not at all to her taste She de-
Ciared she was regularly engaged as a
sailor and desired TO fulfil her contract.
This, however. the captain refused TO al
low, and the discOnsolate young woman
was left behind and again condemned TO
assume the costume of her sex.

BOUNTY FOR SHIPS
Hanna-Payne Bill to Be Favorably
Reported.
ACTION TAKEN IN BOTH COMMITTEES
Division Was Made on Party
Lines.
THE A AMENDMENTS PROPOSED

The Senate committee on commerce to-
day agreed to make favorable report on
the HannaPayne bill for the encourage
ment of foreign trade by granting subsidies
to the owners of American steamships.
Several amendments were made, but with
few exceptions they were of a technical!
character. One of the amendments has the
effect of extending the benefits from the
bill only to first-class vessels, and another
extends the privileges to vessels to be built
within specified time in the future. This
latter amendment provides that application
shall be made within five years, and that
the vessels shall be constructed within the
following five years. The builders are to be-
American citizens, and they are to give
bond for the performance of the terms of
the contract they are required to enter into.
In cases where, in the original bill, the
bounty was fixed the miles sailed by
vessels both outward and homeward
bound" change was made separating the
classes and making technical distinctions
as to class. In all cases where, in the orig
inal bill, citizens of the United States We're
referred to, corporations of the United
States were added.
The amer dment extending the provisions
of the bill to vessels TO be buiIt in the
future was made at the instance Of a Nor
folk firm which promises to put on 4 line
to South America. The amendment carries
provision which provides that the repeal
OF the law shall not be used to revoke the
contract before its natural expiration.
The amendment defining the class of ships
to be admitted refers only to foreign built
ships to be admitted to American registry.
The bill as Introduced admitted all ships
fit to be classed" in the shipping records.
The amendment provides that all such YES
sells shall be fit to be put in class A.
All the republicans present voted for the
bill, while all the democrats except Senator
Murphy voted against it. Senator Murphy
voted with the republicans.
In the House Committee.
The shipping bill, providing a system of
bounties for American ships, was favorably
acted on today by tie House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries. The vote
was on party lisies, the democratic men,
bers opposing a report.
Amendments were made einbodying sug-
Gesticns by ex-senator Edmunds in behalf
CT the shipping; interests Mr.. Payne of
New York will make the committee report
and minority report alsa wiz be made.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The little town of Eucla. which is the
junction Of the South Australian and Wet
Australian telegraph systems has a news
oaper of its own, the first number of tn =
Eucla Recorder having made its appear
hrce last month. The editor, in sending a
copy OF his journal to an Adelaide contero-
porary, says: THE paper has been written

sistance by the members of the South
Australia and West Australia telegraph

with which we can only print a page at
time. Nc pecuniary benefit is derived by
any person connected with the publication
of the paper, the work being done in order
to promote good feeling among the resi-
dents of Eucla, and TO assist in turning 10
account some of our spare hours The total
population of Eucla is forty; this includes
four females and seven children, and we
hope We can lay claim to the position of
being the smallest community in Australia
which prints and publishes a paper entirely

under twenty-five years of age and the
production OF this paper is a little evidence
against the cry We often hear that Young
Australia is rapidly deteriorating."

stand to make an explanation. He admit
ted that he had no license and also claimed
that he did not practice medicine He did
say that he frequently diagnosed cases and
told sick people the nature of their all

employed in doctors offices, had attended
many colleges and received diplomas He
said he never gives, medicine. but frequent

Attorney for the defendant argued that

practice medicine. The court took the case
under consideration ana will announce the
decision later.

COMPLAINT OF MRS. WILSON
Alleges That Her Divorced Husband Subjects
Her to Great Annoyance.
Appeal for Restraining Order Filed
in Court-The Defendant En-
tiers Denial.

Augusta E. Wilson, who was granted g.
divorce the 4th of last May from Posey s.
Wilson, this afternoon, through Attorney
Wilton j. Lambert petitioned Justice Cox,
in Equity Court No. l, for an injunction to
stop alleged annoying acts on the part of
Mr.. Wilson.
By the terms of the decree of divorce
Mr.. Wilson was permitted to see his two
children for two hours Wednesday and two
hours Sunday of each week. Mrs. Wilson
charges that Mr.. Wilson has repeatedly
violated the provision, and not only called
at other times for the children, but has
frequently enticed one or both away in the
evening and, kept them several hours TO
her great annoyance and worriment; that
even upon occasions when he has taken the
children at the prescribed time he has sell
dom, if ever, returned them for several
hours later than required.
It is further alleged by Mrs. Wilson that
frequently, when the children have been
with their father, instead of giving them
proper food, he has bought them sweet
meats and candles of all kinds, from which
they have often been made very ILL., and
have often brought home whisky bottles
and claimed that their father not only
drank the contents of such himself, but
had given them whisky to drink also
Ever since she obtained the decree for
divorce. it is further declared MIR. Wilson
has prosecuted her and her mother bv
writing and sending vile and insulting LET
tiers to them; that he has also ANNOYED and
harrassed them by ringing the door bell
of her mothers house, where she also 70

TORQUAY, January 10, 1890.
To the Hon. John d. Long. Secretary of the
Navy, Washington. L. s. A:
Sir: Having lie ,rned through the medium
of the press that England is to be favored
with a visit from a squadron of the navy
of the United States of America in June
next, / have the honor TO offer on behalf
of the town of Torquay a most cordial in
vitation to that squadron to include Tor bay
in the list OF places to be visited on that &C.
casion.
AS evidence of the safety and suitability
of Tor bay for even the largest vessels
in your countrys magnificent navy I may
mention that divisions of the English fleets
frequently anchor there, indeed some part
OF the channel feet is generally to be found
in our bay.
/ congratulate your country on the re-
cent splendid achievements of the United
States fleets under the command of Ad-
mirals Sampson and Dewey, and / rejoice
that the bonds of friendship between the
citizens of the United States and the
mother country continue to strengthen 1
am proud to think that from the west conn
try of this island were sent forth some of
the earliest and most successful voyages OF
discovery to the American continent and
there is also a special appropriate in
the fact that neishboring port was the
final place of departure of the pilgrim
fathers about three centuries ago.
In conclusion l would add that should
United States feet favor the town / have
the honor TO represent with visit, a right
hearty welcome viii be accorded TO them,
and no effort shall be wanting on our part
to insure your fleet suitable reception,
while am certain that the beauty of our
town and neighborhood would be duly APP
preciated by our visitors

I remember one pup in particular. He
was only six months old when he was sent
out one Gay 10 work on the range At night
when the herd was brought up to the cor
rais saw at once that d part of the nerd
was missing. There Were 800 head in the
bunch when they went out in the morning.,
but when we put them through the chute
found that .DD were missing. The pup
was also missing. Well. all hands turned
out for the search. We hunted all the night
and all Of the next day. and did not find the
lost sheep uuJu along toward night. But
there they w-Te all hcrded in little draw,
about five mes froT1 home, and there was
the faithful dog standing guard. The
wolves were very plentiful in those days
ana the dog had actually hidden the sheep
from the animals in the draw. The poor
fellow was nearly famish-d, as he had been
for tEirty-Si& hours without food or water.
From shat Gay he became q hero, but was
so badly affected 10y hunger. exposure and

the night before had forgotten TO close the
gate. and the dog more faithful than her
