A SPIRIT IN A STRANGE LAND.

.London Star THE British consul at
Iliogo recently heard how the grave of a
British naval officer on the island of BIZ
roshima, in the Inland sea of Japan. was
carefully kept in order by the peasants.
The consul got a history of the lonely
grave.

majesty's ship Sylvia was proceeding
through the Inland sea when an officer
named lake fell i'll. He was landed at
Hiroshima, While the Sylvia proceeded
and cast anchor at E.noura bay to wait
his recovery. However. he died, and Cap
tain ST. John buried his remains in the
grounds of the Temple of Ikwoii, above
Enoura shrine, and set up a wooden
cross.
Years afterward. when this monument
had almost decayed y II s. the natives
said: Truly it would be too sad if the

Its Testimony In the Pennsyl-
vania Case.
OTHER GOES TO THE BAT
An Objection Made to the Alleged
Original Location Notice
Argument Follows.

In the suit of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company against the Boston &
Montana. to decide title to the vein of the
Pennsylvania claim, the plaintiff closed
it's side yesterday evening so far as the
submission of direct testimony is con-
cerned, and this morning the defendant
began operations to a fair-sized audience.
1t has a set of maps and a model of its
own.
AS a starter to the proceeding, which
bid fair to consume at least three weeks
time. and knock out Judge Clancy's cal
culations on a September bear hunt, At
torney Scallon offered in evidence the
location notice of the Pennsylvania lode
claim, but John j. Mediation, acting as
spokesman for the plaintiff, made an OBJ
lection in which was embodied several
reasons why the notice should not figure
in the proceedings. Mr.. scallon also Of
fered in evidence a certified copy of the
patent to the Pennsylvania, issued by the
government, but it, too, met with oppo-
sition. In objecting to the location no.
tice Mr.. Mediation said the cum
showed upon it's face hat it was void;
that it had not been verified by the al
A>o>N - ~ o4yoA1& &ioS KS ~
by the laws of the land; that it did not
in any respect comply with the law in
force at the time the location was made
or the time the alleged certified copy Of
the notice was dated or made. He desired
to object for the particular reason that
the paper was not a true copy Of any no.
tice of the location of a mining claim at
all and especially not of any location of
the Pennsylvania claim. 1t appeared,
said he. that the application for a patent
on the Pennsylvania had not been made
on the location notice offered in evidence,
but on some other one and the patent bad
been issued on a different one. IN pat
ent. he said, showed that the alleged orig
inal location notice Of the Pennsylvania
claim did not cover the graund embraced
within the line of the Pennsylvania pat
ent.
An argument followed the objections
and hen court adjourned for the noon
noun 1t was on full blast.
The entire day was consumed in the ar
gument of the points at issue. Mr.. Cor
bett talked until noon on the i~rrelevancy
portion of the objection, and then took up
the immateriality of it. At 2 o'clock he
had exhausted his authorities and Judge
Clancy ordered a cessation until the
speaker could hunt up more to which he
desired to refer. Shortly before 8 o'clock
business resumed and continued without
interruption during the balance of the
day.

A CHAMBER OF Horrors.

Henry Curtin, a veteran OF the civil
war, living On the west side. has a room
in his residence that impresses all his
visitors as a veritable chamber of hor-
rors. This is because it's most conspicu-
Gus decoration and is a row of
human legs suspended on the walls and
entirely circling the room. Mr.. Curtin
always laughs at the fright of range
at the first sight of this room, and then
explains that the legs are only artificial
ones, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
Then he tells them how the legs come to
be there.

vas so foolish as to try and stop a can
non ball with my right leg. OF course,
l wasn't one, two, three, and the next

l was able to be about, and l came home

the kind OF leg the government gives,

blood tomorrow and another Sunday, to
which all lovers of the popular American
game can go prepared to see the best ball
played in Montana in recent years. The
Boston & Montana will cross bats with
the famous Billings team. which has the
reputation of winning IL out of the IA

The game will not be one-sided by any
means, as the Boston & Montana team
has been greatly strengthened recently

hurricanes at oil seasons confirm the
truth of this theory. But be that as
it may, when the northeast wind gets
an unobstructed sweep of some thou
sands of miles down the wide stretch
of ocean that leads the Gulf Stream
northward it has a chance to develop a
degree Of violence that it can hardly
attain where its course is interrupted
by outlying islands and reefs.
During the comparatively calm and
peaceful voyage that most travellers by
sea achieve from New York or Boston
to London, Liverpool or Southampton
they are told that when the ship crosses
tract known to sailormen az "the
hole in the wall" their seamanship is
likely to be tested. The reason for
this is that unit, that point is reached
the southwark sweep of wind and wave
is more or less modified by submerged
shadows such as the Grand Banks and
other ridges that are revealed by deep
sea soundings. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that the accumulated force
of protracted winters gale is some-
thing terrific when it breaks on the
sandy headland that forms the ex-
tremity of Cape Cod.
On one of the high sand dunes that
form this promontory stands the High
land Light, looking out to sea, and
from sunset to sunrise, year in and
year out, sending its rays over leagues
of restless ocean to give warning Of
the dangerous sand-bars that are
formed by waves and current all along
this coast.

in few miles Of one another from
Maine to Florida, and along the
shores of the Great Lakes, and effected
such improvements that he got the en-
tire country heartily at his back. The
amount Of property and the number of
lives saved, from the outset, was most
impressive. In 1874 he prepared
bill to extend the work, to bestow
medals upon deserving life-savers, to
collect and tabulate statistics of ma
rine disasters, and to determine what
points ON the coast were specially
liable to maritime calamities. he
caused lifeboats to be selected for
particular regions with q view to their
fitness for meeting the conditions
there existing; he investigated the
merits of various inventions in the
way of guns for shooting lines to
wrecked vessels, and of life-cars and
other devices for bringing persons
from wrecks to the shore. Finally,
the Bureau was separated from the
Treasury Department, and set up in
business for itself.
Our Life-Saving Service is now

uninhabited and deserted, and in
many places very dangerous to naviga-
