TOO MANY PASSENGERS.
Those Left in the North May Die of
Starvation.

San Francisco. Nov. 10.-Complaints
have been made at the custom house
by the surveyor of the port that the
steamer Homer, which arrived from
Cape Nome carried passengers far in
excess Of her certified capacity. The
license gives her permission to carry
only SO and Is Of crew. Captain Hig-
gins, the master of the vessel, says he
took the passengers at Cape Nome to
bring them to civilization, as provisions
and accommodations were short at the
mining camp and there is danger of
many of those left in the north dying
from exposure.

A ChiLD'S FANCY.

Explanation of What Seems Preco-
c~tousness In Imaginative Children.
can active, healthy imagination is
n of the happiest gifts a child can
possess" is the theory advanced by
Florence Hull Winterburn, the we'll
known padiologist, in The Woman's
Home Companion.
"If we watch an intelligent child,
four or five years old, who believes him
self unnoticed we will probably be as
tonished at the richness and fertility Of
the fancy which cal give life and color
to dull, commonplace things and weave
whole stories and dramas around the
simple toy that means nothing more to
us than what it plainly stands for. But
we will perceive that even his widest
romances found themselves upon many
facts, for free and frolicsome as imagi-
nation may appear, it is subject to it's
laws. It deals with real things In q
playful way. It embroiders, paints,
it's basis in actual life.
"What we call creative ability is
really nothing but the power to recon-
struct, perhaps to connect several sep
arate plans or patterns into q whole
which seems different from the original.
The child is an artist who daubs on his
colors boldly, without any sense Of the
absurdities he may commit, and so he
often produces effects that surprise 9TH
ers as well as himself. Many Of the acts
that seem SO precocious because we sup
pose them to be the outcome Of a well
considered plan are really happy acct
dents, not devoid of the merit Of orig
inality, but neither to be o~verpraised as
work Of genius. Childhood is one I'M
broken succession Of experimentings."

A Much Abused Word.

The way certain words are misused
and abused should appeal to one. It Is
a fact that if any word has tried to
adapt itself to every possible and i'm
possible situation "grand" is the one
that has made the attempt. A person
needs but walk about any city to be
confronted with Grand hotels and
Grand View houses. Sometimes it fits
the house which it adorns, sometimes
it seems but a sardonic attempt to mako
them seem the more forlorn. It rises to
the sublime and describes the noun
tains, it descends to the level Of every
day life and appears IS a descriptive
term when the weather is mentioned.
On the lips Of the milliner it lures on
to her doom the woman who without
the support Of a friend is selecting a
hat, and the "doesn't she look grand in
that?" causes her to depart with the
hat in her possession. One hears about
"grand" dinners and ''grand" times,
but the last straw is when the shop
woman says, "That coat fits you some
thing grand. New York Sun.

RATHER EMBARRASSING,
The Sad Case of the Young Woman
Who Wanted to Talk.

The Sad Case of the Young Woman
Who Wanted to Talk.
A most embarrassing experience was
that of a certain West Philadelphia
young woman who a few evenings ago
attended a reception, in which a num-
Der of well known clubwomen partici-
pated. It SO happened that among these
were several who had found the matri-
monial yoke an unwelcome one for
various reasons and had obtained legal
separation from their husbands. To M
Of these women, quite unwittingly,
having just been introduced, the young
woman, who is nothing if not %vivacious
and conversational, addressed the ques-
ton:
"By the way, Mrs. R., don't you
think divorce is wrong2" The woman,
r%eddening slightly, replied:
"My dear, there are two sides to that
question. Perhaps you have not heard
my story"
The questioner, embarrassed beyond
measure, stammered an excuse and
walked away. To the first woman she
met she confded her trouble, saying:
"Oh, dearl I have just made q most
unfortunate remark. You know Mrs.
R.? Well, I spoke to her about divorce,
and she's divorced, you know"
$50 am I, my dear" was the smil-
ing reply. and once again the young
woman wished that the floor would
open under her. She felt so bad that che
went to one Of the women in charge Of
the reception and, taking her aside,
told her the whole story, asking her ad-
vice as to what she should do.
do nothing at all, Miss IT, was
the reply. ~ really don't think they
have any horror Of the subject 80 long
as it's innocently called up. I know I
haven't, and /, too, am a divorcee."
Whereat the conversational miss
donned her hat, and, fearing to say an
other word, went home. -Exchange.

Royal M. s. Enalis Charged with
DefraUding

detectives Helan and Baur yesterday
afternoon arrested Royal NJ s. Englis
alias DR.. Harold Graham. on suspicion He
is now confined in the First precinct sta
ton to await an investigation of the
charges against him. II is alleged thai
he ran board bill at the Howard House
amounting to Sl5 by representing himself
to be the chief surgeon at Providence Hos
pital. 1t is also alleged that he attempted
to purchase goods on credit from Gilman
q Co., druggists, at 627 Pennsylvania Ave
nue, where, it is said, he made the same
representation as is claimed in the pre-
vlous case. The proprietor of the Howard
House, and one OF the members of the firm
OF Gilman & Co. made enquiries at the
Providence Hospital, and discovered that
Englls was not connected with the hos
pital, but had simply been allowed to stay
there few days through the kindness OF
Sister Beatrice. Englis stated after his
arrest yesterday that he had not been reg
ularly employed there, but was allowed to
stay until the death of Sister Beatrice,
week ago yesterday. 1t was not until yes
terday that the detectives succeeded in To-
eating the man. b44
Englis, 1t Will be remembered was ar
rested under the name of DR.. Harold Gra-
ham, in June, charged with having stolen
d humber Oh blankets a surgical lnStru-
ment, and sundry articles. from the hos
pital stores of the District National Guard
at Leesburg during the last annual en-
caInpment. Englis was at the time hos
pital steward at the camp The case was
brought up in the Police Court here, but
owing to the fact that the alleged offence
was committed outside the District Engiis
was dismissed
Some time afterward he was arrested on
the charge OF obtaining clothing, amount
ing in value to SIT, from Joseph Auerbach
by representing himself as being hos
pital steward at Fort Myer. Englis was
held for the grand jury, but through the
influence of friends, it is said, who ad-
vanced money TO settle the bill, he was
not prosecuted.
Englis claims that it was not he who
ran the bill at the Howard House, or who
endeavored to secure credit at Gilman
drug store.

warehouse recently, and it was only with
difficulty that serious damage to the ad-
joining property, which belongs to the COM
plainant was prevented. The matter was
referred to Fire Marshal Drew for report.
Mr.. Drew stated that he considered such
places dangerous to both life and property,
but In this instance the parties had a per
nit for the storage Of their goods at this
place, and nothing could be done to do
away with the nuisance.
The papers in the case were also sent to
Major Sylvester, with the recommendation
that he suggest some means of relieving
the residents of the neighborhood from the
danger which might be caused by the pres
ence of so much combustible material
near their houses. Major Sylvester report
ed that when the fire referred to occurred
he had instructed Lieutenant Boyle to
make an investigation of the matter. He
found, as stated by the Fire Marshal in his
report, that the parties owning the bu Id
ing had permit to store fireworks, and
nothing could be done to prevent it.
Through private sources, however, he had
learned that the use of the place as a
storehouse for explosives would soon be
q iscoa siaued. He was directed to have
Lieutenant Boyle inform Mr.. Lerch OF this
decision.

While the ST. Louis Club has been a dis
appointment in many ways. the Robisons

acquired is the most valuable in the
League. The Pittsburg Club has had an
unusually prosperous season, and is round
ing out its close with a team that will,
with some competent improvements, be
drawing nard next season. The Cincinnati
Club has not been the mechanical success

creased its earning capacity. yet their pro-
fits viii ensure a fair dividend. Mr. Brush

the good. The Chicago and Boston Clubs
