Washington, May 1S.-Final action
upon the tenders of sites for the Salt
Lake public building will probably be
taken this week The decision is held
up waiting the receipt of a brief from
Lawrence \. Young of Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Young wired the assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. asking that the
decision be delayed until his brief ar
rives, and received a reply that no &C
ton would be taken until his brief was
received
A brief of the so-called church site
has also been filed by George Q. Can
non and Bishop Clawson.
The matter of the site has been re-
ferred by Assistant Secretary Taylor TO
Supervising Architect Taylor, who will
make report by Saturday. The best
argument for the church site seems to
be that it affords the most slightly loca-
ton, while the attorneys for the Dolly
site assert that it is nearer the true
business center of the city.
Washington Papers Comment.
The federal building contest has at
tracted the attention of the local press.
Tonight's Star puts it this way:
THE Salt Lake Mormons and Gentiles
are having a violent controversy over
the location of the federal building. for
which an appropriation was made by
congress at the last session.
The appropriation is 100000, and
the building is to be a fine one. The
treasury department is carrying the
brunt OF the controversy in endless let
tiers and petitions. The differences have
gone so far that the Mormons have
sent George Q. Cannon here, and he
has visited the treasury department in
regard fO the matter
The Mormons offer TO give fine site
close to the heart of the city and COM
manding a splendid view. 1t is on a
corner across the street from the IA
nous temple, tabernacle and Assembly
hall. 1t is on the same square with
the tithing yard and building where the
faithful take their tithes.
THE Gentiles offer to give the site on
Second South street. two blocks from
Main street.
Assistant Secretary Taylor will take
one of the sites, as the government will
thus save money. The money saved
will be expended on the building. Both
sites are close to the business center,
but it is claimed that the one offered
by the Gentiles is nearer the center of
business"

HE nFUMIGATED. "
Uncle Got Rid of the Cigarette Eiends
without the Slightest
Trouble.
[To BE Continued

An aged colored man stood on the
rear platform of Cedar avenue car
a few evenings ago and listened to the
talk of the young men who were his
fellow passengers. Five of these
young men were smoking cigarettes,
much to the disgust of the aged uncle.
He smiled audibiy several times and
at last one of the cigarette youths
turned to him and facetiously said:
You don't like cigarette smoke, do
you, Mr.. Johnsing?"
I'D like it bettah, sab, replied the
veteran, 'ef l was an undertaken"
There was a general laugh at the,
smokers expense, and he pulled. vi
ciously at his cigarette.
AN eff don't like it, continued the
old man, Il kin always foomergate
agin it,"
He therefore drew from his coat
pocket a short black pipe and proceed
ed to fire up.
At the SECOND, puff the young men
who happened to be nearest him
turned pale. One of them was he fun
ny cigarette smoker, and he was evi-
IDENTITY hard hit. Another puff and
this particular victim threw away his
cigarette and at once got down OF
thestep. With an mperturbable coun.
tenance the ancient colored person
continued to puff that diabolical pipe
"Oh, Lord!" groaned the second ci-
garette smoker, and he stopped smok
ing, too.
Puff, puff, puff! Two men got of
the car before they reached their
usual stopping places. Four more

to prove of little avail. Our main hope
must be in the pOorness of their aim
and the little time we should be within
range. / did not forget also that our
bobbing heads presented rather infe-
rior targets. They let go soon enough,

range of their side when score or
more of guns and pistols were aimed,
some from as far forward as amid
ships, and a blaze among the whole
line followed.
Poor shooting, sir!" 1 shouted, not
little relieved and even eXhilarated.
"Shall we swim for the raft?"
We turned as he spoke, and to my
astonishment there was the raft close
at hand. For some reason it had come
before the wind faster than | could
have calculated and was ready now as
very timely refuge.
We disregarded further danger from
the shooting and faced about. The raft
came on, climbing a crest at the mo-
ment and riding swiftly down again,
and it was then that both of us cried
out in amazement. For a human head
was sticking above the stern end, and
familiar shock of light hair, albeit
now darkened a little with the wet,

added with a sigh.
"NIither o. God!" burst out Mac

We had taken our eyes for moment

the blood from our cheeks, and left Us

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one HoUthwick, a ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
Industry, bound for Havana. Mr.. Tym,
the supercargo, describes a sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disa bled by the
Industry's guns. In the fray Capt. Houth-
wick and one of the crew are killed, but the
Industry Is found to be little damaged
Sellinger first mate, takes charge and
puts into Sidmouth to secure new mate.
Several days later, when well out 10 sea.
an English merchantmen is met, whose
captain has letter addressed to Jeremiah
Hope, at Havana. The crew of the vessel
tell strange tales of the buccaneer Morgan,
who Is sailing under the kings commission
to take Panama. One night little later
the English vessel having proceeded on her
course, a bit Of paper is slipped into Ar
dicks hand by one of the sailors. This Is
found to be a warning of a mutiny plot
headed by Pradey, the new mate. Ardick
consuts Mr.. Tym. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eavesdropping in the
cabin, makes through the dorr and arouses
the crew. Capt. Sellinger joins Ardick and
Tym. The crew break through the now
barricaded door. but are forced to retire,
having lost seven Of their number. Finding
themselves now too short-handed to man
age the boat Pradey decides to scuttle and
desert the vessel taking his men off in the
only available boat. The captain, super
cargo and second mate soon discover their
plight, but hastily constructing raft bet
away just before their vessel sinks. The
next morning a Spaniard draws near them.

In some portions of Germany the
hrmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor of the dedication Of
the church, is now observed with the
special character of harvest home.
1t marks the close of the years la bors,
and is celebrated by three days of mu-
sic, feasting and dancing, with part
ners chosen or allotted, according to
degrees of comeliness, at the preced-
ing May festival. In southern Ger
many the end of harvest is marked by
the sickle feast. The last sheaf is car
ried in triumph to the barn and placed
on the floor, while the younger couples
dance around it. One-half of it is then
declved with ribbons and hung aloft,
while the other half is burned. It's
ashes are treasured as a remedy for
rheumatism and are sonnet times used
in making amulets or charms. The
peasants leave for Wodan, or the old
one" few ears of corn and a small
number of apples, it being considered
unlucky to strip either field or tree en-
tirely bare.-Lippincott's Magazine.

view of her side, and a scene on her
main deck was brought to view. A
group of figures there moved, and in
the instant a single shape rose above
their heads and travelled up swiftly to
the main yardarm! There it seemed
to dangle for moment, and then fell
into the motion of the ship, and sw ing
pendulum-like, in board and out.
1t was a time of horror, and | scarce
know what we said. We had no doubt
that the man was the captain, for who
else could be executed at such a time?
Moreover, when l came to look more
intently, | made out a patch of white
about the upper part of his figure,
which would answer for the captains

ment of that description, but only
blouses and dark tunics.
We crouched low again, and watched
the poor body as it jerked and swung.
There was a dreadful fascination in
the sight, and for one | could not take
my eyes from it. / have the thought
that the supercargo broke out a.
swearing once, not loud, but as mighE
say between his teeth, and that J
laughed savagely when heard him.

within reasonable signaling distance

waved it. 1t WAS as large a distress

l cannot pretend to give clear de-
tails of what followed. Mr.. lynn lunged
back desperately, and / saw one fell
low double up and fall. The next man
tripped over him and the supercargo
improved the time to wheel and rush
to my side.
Out" was the one word he said, and
| let go the painter and sprang upon
the ledge of the port. AS the end of
the line whisked clear l stopped and
shot headlong down.
/ rose to the surface at once and
shook the water from my eyes. The
first thing | saw was the great i'm
pending bulk of the ship. 1t lowered
far over me, and was rushing past,
flooding back frothing and divided
seas. / fought my way to the top of
the next crest and looked around. To
my Joy Mr.. Tym was close at hand,
splitting and shaking his head, as
though he had just come up from his
dive, but riding lightly and easily.
Turning my head to see what had be-
come of Mac Ivrach and the raft, saw

on a neighboring sea, but to my sor-
row without the Scotchman.
In the line of the raft, but near a
mile away, was the pursuing ship. She
was a bad mess forward, for her spirit
topmast had been shot away, and some
of the litter was dragging over the
bows.
| had time for no more than this
flash of a look about. All my atten-
tion was now upon the rushing bulk of
the ship. She was so near
that 1 could see little higher than her
bulwarks. Her ports on that side were
open, though the guns had not been
used, and in each opening were the
protruding heads of the gunners.
The ship seemed to lift away from
us, and at once we got the range of
her whole side. To my dismay all the
bulwarks were overhung with heads
and a dozen or more of the steel
shelled guards showed above the low
poop rail. The story of our doings had
spread over the ship at last, and doubt
less the angry dons were primed for
vengeance.
There seemed to be nothing that we
could do, unless it was to dive, as they

/ wonder ir for those who try, but fail.
Sleep comes complete?
For those who grope alone up life's hard
trail
Is rest more sweet?
Through all of outward life we see and
know
That, soon or late,
For every loss, some sturdy strength shall
grow
To compensate.
Then, shall the spirit that has met defeat
BY fate's accord,
For all the battles bravely met and fought.
Have no reward?

In life's sure plans,
Some end of justice will, at last, prevail?

Two heavy reports followed, and the
smoke drove in at the doorway. /

On returning to the deck we found
the situation in a small degree
changed. The buccaneer still stormed
along in our wake, but now with lit
tie gain, and the Pilanca continued to
hug the wind. BY eight bells the enc
my was clearly rising, and at two bells
hc was not greatly beyond cannon
range.
| stood by ready to jump and haul,
and with a quickening of excitement
awaited the next turn of events.
1t, was not long in coming. Capt.
Placido swung upon the lee bulwark,
holding on by the main shrouds, and
bellowed:
Down Aelm! Slack lee braces!
Haul on the weather."
by heavens! He means to run the
gantlet!" exclaimed Mr.. Tym.
So it seemed. The buccaneer had
been on our lee bow wheD first discov
cred, and was still well to the south.
BY squaring our yards, then, and de-
Iiberately pointing our nose south
west, we meant to run under his very
nose.
And yet it stands to be his safest
plan" said Capt. Sellinger. "a ship
like this, riding light and with a poop
like a church, will do nothing save with
the wind. Once let US fetch by and our
chances are doubled"
The buccaneer had altered his
course a we altered ours, and was now
standing a few points south of east.
He could scarce be better than a mile
and half away, and we saw plainly
the moving black dots of the crew
about his decks. He was handsome,
tigerish-looking fellow, let him be who
or what he might.
Nearer and nearer swung the buc-
cancer. | could catch even the flash of
his wet side now, as he rolled, with a
sort of swagger, to the successive, up
lifting seas. Nearer still, till half
mile is reeled of, and less than a whole
one separates us.
A drum on our quarter deck beat.
The armored guards fell into line, and
their captain drew his sword and
stepped out upon the flank. Three of
the Gons came out of the cabin, all in
cuirasses, buff gantlets, and broad

Delasco, the governors son-in-law,
was one of the trio. Then it was Capt.
Placido's turn. He came to the break
of the quarter deck and faced us.
Bring up powder and ball for the
deck guns. Take the hoods off the
brass pieces. Two more men at the
helm. Gunners for the port guns be
low. Master Pedillo, unlock the arms
chests and have the hangers and pis-
tolls passed up. Master Lonzelo, rake
six men and fetch up the pixies. Pedro,
see that buckets of water are set
about, and when all is ready put on the
matches"
Larger and larger grew the buc-
cancer. The black dots took on the
shape of human figures, and the eight
ports in his side cut out square, each
with its round, target-like ring.

the foredeck, and the powder cloud
blew off TO leeward But it was harm
less. 1t had been fired across our
bows. Then something shook out
