"HAZEL DELL" ASHORE.
Bluehill Schooner Badly Damaged at
st. John, n. Ii.

BluehilI Schooner Badly Damaged at
st. John, n. Il.
The Bluehlll schooner "HaZeI Dell",
Capt. Hugh Duffy, bound from Windsor
to New York with lumber, put into st.
John, n. B., for shelter Saturday morning
and anchored near Round Reef. About 6
a. IN. she dragged on the reef, and when
the tide fell she pounded her bottom out.
The cargo kept her atioat. At noon she
was towed off and taken into the govern
ment slip.
The "Hazel Dell" left Spencer's Island
Friday morning. On board was Capt.
Cousins, Lubec pilot. The weather set
in SO bad when the vessel was within four
miles Of West Quoddy, that an effort was
made to reach that place, but this as
found impossible. The schooner was
headed up the bay and about O'Clock
Saturday morning came to anchor near
the foul ground. For about two hours
the vessel was all right, and the sea was
comparatively smooth. AT O'Clock,
however, a heavy sea commenced to roll
in, end distress signals were sent up from
the schooner.
BY this time the sea was so high that
no boat could get near the schooner. The
sea was washing over her. The D en-
managed to get boat over the side, and
Aubrey Alley, steward, and Warren Duffy,
son OF the captain, jumped into it. Just
then a big sea struck the schooner and
| carried away the stern rail. The men
were unable to hold the boat near the
schooner, and it drifted away. Warren
/ Duffy went overheard, but he manage d to
! kee p above Water until Alley caught INN
and pulled him into the boat. The tw o
| men, under great difficulties, managed to
get the boat TO the shore. As the tide
| came up the seas higher. Pilot
| Cou-1n. was struck by parks from the
floating deck-load, and had twJ ribs
| brokeD.
| A volunteer crew manned a life boat
| aud went to the rescue of the crew. 1t
was u desperate battle with the wind and
waves, but the men finally reached the
schooner and rescued the four men on
| board. The men went to the Seamen'5 5
| Home where they were well cared for.
The schooner had by this time driven
on the reef only about fifty yards from
the government pier. The seas broke
over her continually, and her bottom was
partly torn out.
In the forenoon, before the schooner
| was towed off, crowds visited the pier to
see the schooner. 1t is said the seas were
as high as ever seen there.
The schooner was partly insured, and
| the cargo was insured.

asked is that the travelling expenses Of
the professors be paid. The plan is to
have course of perhaps six lectures, 10
be delivered Saturday afternoons and
evenings, SO as not 10 interfere With
school or college work. The lectures
would be for teachers only, that teachers
may feel free to ask questions, and thus
| derive the fullest benefit from the lec-
lures. The lectures would be in drec,
line with the school work. The PROPOSE
ton will be submitted to the Ellsworth
teac hers for their decision.

Stonington Mans Narrow Escape.

Ston1ngton Mans Narrow Escape.
The Deer Isle Messenger prints the fol-
lowing story Of a deliberate attempt to
commit murder at Stoniugton:
"According to our source OF inlormauon-and
consider 1t reliable-one night about two
weeks ago, Lewis Judkins, who does teaming
business at Stonington, took two lady passen-
gers to South Deer Isle and returning
about II O'Clock, when he was fired upon by
person concealed by the wayside. The bullet
passed through his hat. Turning to look in the
direction from which the report came, he saw a
second flash, and bullet passed under his chin
close enough to bring blood The ruilian then
disappeared. MIR. Judkins could discern the
man in the darkness but Is unable to Identify
him. The person must have some great enmity
against Mr.. Judkns, or else it Is some insane
crank.
1--WE hear that since the affair Mr.. judkins
has received an anonymous letter saying that:
Il missed you that time but won't the next 1t
would appear that when a man has his hat shot
fun of bullet holes and his whi5Eers shot off,
the affair comes pretty near assault with intent
to kill The person who shoot near "a
mans head and yet not hit, & 4 danger to the
public safety, and he should be apprehended-
That letter, we think, ought to furnish clue
from which to work any one disposed to
make an investigation"

THE TRANSVAAL.

The Transvaal case again sharply
presents the perpleXing question Of the
rights of man. The Beers say, This
is our country and we have the right
to rule it as we please The Uitland-
ers say, You have allowed us to set
tie here, and the condition of manhood
carries with it the right to share in the
making of the laws which govern u.s.
The Beers reply, You British do not
give men in your colonies the right
to rule themselves" The British re-
ply, Rights without bayonets behind
them are idle speculations,-goOd to
die for, if you are fond of abstract JUS
tice, but the sword behind a right, is
like the spinal column of the body, it
gives it strength and position. Every
man with gun in his hand has the
right to better his condition, provided
he is willing to take the chance of suf-
fering if he does not succeed. Behind
the Uitlanders are many guns
The Beers are politically between the
devil and the deep sea. If they con-
cede political rights to the Uitlanders,
they will soon cease to be power in
the Transvaal If they refuse to con-
cede these rights, then the British will
shoot them down and seize these rights.
Both the Beers and the British are

civilized and even Christian people.
Arbitration should be invoked TO set
tie the dispute, but both parties ma
turally hesitate to leave to arbitration
a perplexing moral question of this
kind. Besides Great Britain treats it
as domestic and not a foreign affair
If there is war, it will prove the gross
stupidity of the Beers. Great as their
military advantages are, in the field,
they will in the end be crushed by
the British, who will find the Uitland-
ers rising in insurrection the moment
they see the British forces in front Of

THE DEWEY RECEPTION.

OF course tnose who hesitate to en-
courage such exhibitions of national
| good will, as the grand reception TO Ad-
| miral Dewey in New York, are in a
| minority. Their hesitation is vocifer-
oUsly declared by the professional Flag
wavers as an act of disloyalty to the
country. If Admiral Dewey was asked
to designate the character of his own
reception, he would say, Let me anchor
my ship and quietly go home" and in
saying so he would in this sense be
disloyal also. But he yields to the
popular feeling, which seems to be as
intense among the people of. this great
Christian nation in Growing about the
victory over lot of miserable, half
armed ill-supplied, badly manned
Spanish ships, as the Roman people,
two thousand years ago, crowed over
the victories of their legions, and
crowned with laurels the brows of gen.
erals who reduced the men, women and
called it giving them the blessings of
Roman civilization.
young girl asked General Sherman
one day about his part in the Civil
war, which he had called hell" and
he told her that while he had tried to
do his duty, he could never reflect with
any pleasure upon the part he had
taken in destroying human life, and
causing misery to women and children.
One of the bravest of the Major Gen
ence of the writer, that the gloating
over victories seemed to him to exhibit
the latent savagery in man.. and his
irresistible desire, like a savage, to yell
over his defeated foe And when he
was presented with a magnificent sword
for his bravery, he said to a friend:
IF Christ were living here | don't be-
lieve he would have Clipped a cent into
the hat, for the purpose of buying me
sword
We know that our soldiers and
sailors are brave. and do their duty,
with the prospect before them of re-
ceiving the same rewards that every
citizen receives, who does the duty he
agreed to do. These men are brave
and true, because it is their habit to
be so. They do not work for recep-
tions and spectacular effects.
When Mr.. Damrosch leads his choir
of $500 children in song of praise over
the victory at Manila, are not these
children left to wonder why the great
moral heroes of the world are left un-
crowned and die without receptions
and swords, and parchments in blue
and gold?
But, after ALL these apparent incon
sistencies are only phases Of the evo
luton, and the coming generations will
not be so given up to paint and feath-
ers when a public servant, in the pain
