YACHTING PARTY'S PERIL.
Experience of Mrs. Thomas Dixon, Jr.,
and Other New Workers.

CAPE THOMAS, Va, Feb. 18-Mrs. Thos.
Dixon, jr., and party arrived at the formers
home, in this city, this afternoon at 5
o'clock, after a week of thrilling and dan
gerous experience aboard the yacht Dixie,
which still lies frozen up in ice near Hog
island, Virginia, in charge of the captain.
Confronted with the alternative of freez-
ing and starving to death aboard the yacht
or wading two miles across the ice and
snow where assistance could reach them,
they decided this morning to make the start
for the mainland. The trip was a perilOus
and dangerous one. Mrs. Dixon and Mrs.
Ellsworth, of New York, both broke
through the ice several times, but were
pulled out by the attendants. The crew
of the life-Savng station finally succeeded
In reaching them and brought the party
safely to shOre, where they took a special
train. The party consisted Of Mrs. Thomas
Dixon, jr., and son and Mr. and Mrs. Els
worth of Richmond county, New York, and
the crew and servants. The party was
saved from starvation by one of the life
saving crew walking out on the ice and
taking supply of provisions from the sta
ton. For fuel they used the oars, decOys,
small boats, partitionS-in fact, everything
movable on the yacht. The only thing re-
naming was the mast, which would have
been used to-day had they not succeeded
in getting Off Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., is
in Iowa on a lecturing tour.

MILLER FAR IN THE LEAD.
Has Covered 1921 Miles in 100 Hours
in the Bicycle Race.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-To-night's
racing at Mechanics Pavilion was the best
during the week. The attendance was large,
probably six thousand spectators being pres
ent. Much interest attached to Harry
Elkes's five-mile ride against time, paced
by Fournier's motor cycle. He rode five
mics in 9:S2, which is announced as the in
door record for the distance. Jimmy Michael
was paced a mile by Fourier. making the
eight circuits Of the track in 1:51 20 and
to all appearances could have made the
mile in much less time had he been paced
faster.
The endurance" men are still plugging
away. though manifestly very tired. Gimm
seems to be out of 1t as far as first three
positions is concerned. Miller continues to
increase his lead and as he is riding fairly
strong, his first place is a certainty. Hale
Will probably secure third or fourth posi-
ton. The score at II y. m, at the end OF
the fifth day and the northumberland
twentieth hour was 1871 miles ahead of the
record made by Miller at New York in 1891

The Ancestral Portraits.
III Il. ...-..-.. -

There's a family here in Washington
which has a pedigree as long as an office
seekers Endorsement list, and until recently
that family had ancestral portraits to prove
it, Twas but recently that they moved
into q new home. The lady of the house
was somewhat of an invalid, and whoever
had charge of hanging the pictures on the
walls of the new home perceived that the
family portraits had frames that were sadly
furnished and canvases that were sorely
blackened. The wall paper was new and
fresh, and yellingly loud and clean, and the
anonymous picture hanger could not bear
to cover it up with dingy old pictures. Ac-
cordingly he, or perhaps, though let us hope
not, she, had them set out in the coal shed
against the time when they should be prop
erly secured and gilded. There the small
boy Of the house and his companion COLLINS
of the neighborhOod espied them, and indus
triously plunked holes through them with
slingshots and airguns and other things
Later tidy cook came upon the broken
fragments, and next day ash mans cart
carried away those ancestral portraits
What the woman of the house said about it
when she came down stairs 1 don't know.
My vocabulary is SO limited that l can't
even imagine.

MANY PEOPLE INJURED,
And $50 Arrests Made During the
Riots in Paris Last Night.

PARIS, Feb. BIN the course of the
rioting last night over the election to the
presidency of M. Loubet forty-six persons
were injured, including fourteen policemen
One journalist received a blow on the head
with a loaded stick and was SO badly injured
that he was removed to hospital, where
he now lies in a serious condition Two
hundred and fifty arrests were made, and
142 of these taken into custody are still at
the station house, being held on charges of
carrying concealed weapons.
This mornings editions of the anti-revi-
sionist papers accuse NJ. LOubet of being a
defender of Dreyfus, and express the deepest
dissatisfaction with the result of the cleo
ton, while the revisionist organs are sur
prised that the election of q man who never
expressed an opinion regarding the Drey1us
case is not better received.

no further control of the columns of the

from the document on file that on May

years at the annual rental of $1,750, the
