SYNOPSIS.
A RESPITE.

1t was tragic episode, but had seen so
much tragedy crowded into my life for the
past few days that this quick and probably
painless passing of a human soul made in my
state but little impression. looked for the
doctor, but saw the doors of the forecastle
fast closed, and afterward found that the
force of the water had slammed them on
him, knocking him from the ladder to the
deck below. A pity it was that there and
Their it had not been he instead of my
plucky enemy who had first planted foot to
come aft. Better for my subsequent happi
ness would it have been if, instead of the
sailor, that red-faced drunkard had checked
in the element he so despised.
The heaving into the wind and the drown
ing of the seaman were the only events
which reused my blood to heat which make
the details stand out in memory. / might
tell of the sufferings of Ames and Gertrude
King, and of their utter indifference and
total abandonment to what appeared GER
tain destruction, but it would be useless.
The greatest agony of either sprang from
seasickness and its attending miseries. There
was not one of us who thought of food,
which was probably fortunate, as our stock
brought on board was brinesoaked and ru-
ined. Even my toughened self and the
tougher sailors loSt neart ana stomach III
the deadening nausea that gradually seized
us and kept it's hold. The doctor, impris-
oned forward by the seas, and too cowa.dly
to show his head after his one attempt to
come aft, might have been in another world
for all we heard or saw of him. The last
drop of stmulant had gone, and with it had
gone the last of even fictitious spirits. An
unsuitable apathy clutched our company,
and, save that one lurch OF the vessel was
of greater violence than another, nothing
marked the events of hours. Fear had
passed; anxiety was dead; day and night
were meaningless terms Wewere only wait
ing the final stroke, wrench, an open seam,
and then the blessed end.

on the wounded ribs of my friend and on
the gashed head Of his sister, and offered to

consent to be separated from my friends

were not), the weightiest of which not being

like a week iii which to act, and, as luck
would have it, there staggered into the
harbor a privateer sloop-of-war, storm
scared, under jury mast and in a sinking
condition, with half her men lost in the
tempest. And hardly had her anchor reached
bottom when she suddenly tilted and fol-
lowed it, taking with her most of her re-
naming crew, and to-day her oaken ribs lie
petrifying in the salt sands just east of West
Chop, from whose bluff the red eye of the
lighthouse now winks its warning
Her captain, whom well knew, was a
Providence man, though his ship hailed from
New London (as did most of the privateers
cruising to the east), so to him committed
the Phantom and my message to Sullivan,
and within three days, from the pine heights
abreast of the house, saw my schooner dis
appear west of Naushon, and felt that my
duty had been done.

CIGARETTES.

CIGARETTES.
At recent meeting of the National
Conference of Charities and Corrections
at Cincinnati, Supt. Terrence, of the IL
linois state reformatory, read paper in
which he maintained that cigarette smok-
ing is distinct incentive to crime
among boys. In proof of this. ccnten-
ton he submitted a table of figures
showing, according to the statistics of
his reformatory, that of 1873 inmates, av-
eraging IA years of age, 1875 were cigar
cite smokers, and of 6s inmates, averag-
iAg 12 years of age, SO were cigarette
smokers-in short, that of all the inmates
confined in that institution, 90 per cent
were addicted to cigarette smoking. In
supt Torrence's opinion, cigarette smok-
ing is making more criminals of boys
than any other influence, not excepting
saloons.
This conclusion was generally indorsed
by other attending delegates from re-
formatories throughout the country
Hitherto the principal charge against
the cigarette has been that it enervated
the youth of the country and destroyed
their physical stamina. Now it appears
that it breaks down their normal stami-
ma as we'll, and probably weakens them
mentally. Cigarettes have been dubbed
in some localities "cofin nails," and evi-
IDENTIFY not without good reason. They
| are, however, manufactured and sold in
this country by the millions every year
Probably they would not have the same
deletreious. effect upon mature man, bu'
ii is certain that they are doing lncalcu
able harm to our youth, and ways and
means ought to be devised for keeping
them out of the hands of the immature.

DR.. Fritsche of New Ulm was in town
Wednesday on professional business.
The II month old child OF Mr. and
Mrs. Philip Youngman died last week
and was buried on Thursday. The fu-
neral took place at the German Luther

Postmaster Buelow had the new box
es in the postoffice placed in position on

of the Office is increasing.
The ninth son Gall alive and enjoying
good healthy was born on Wednesday
night May 31st to Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph

What constitutes taxable dog?

What constitutes taxable dog?
The attorney generals department is
staggering under this poser from Nils j.
Peterson, justice of the peace IN Audu-
bon, Becker county. The village recent
ly adopted dog tax, and Is all at sea
over the problem when pup becomes a
dog.
How old must pup be before it is
taxed? writes Mr.. Peterson. If pup
is not old enough when the law goes in
to effect, July l, can he be taxed for that
year,or when does he become old enough7
If a man has no dog now, but buys one
after the law goes into effect, can that
dog be taxed this year?
The difficulty is all the more serious
in that the supreme court Of the United
States seems never to have passed on the
question.
William Waldorf Astor's recent at
tempt to exploit his great-grandfather as
a great and noble man and the descend
ant of princes, for the sake of ingratia-
ting himself, the great-grandson, with
the British aristocracy, has led the Bos.
ton Globe to unearth some of the elder
Astor's mcannesses. Although unques-
tiona5ly genius as money -getter, he
was ungenerous and penurious to the
last degree, While acknowledging that
poor skipper in his employ was the
means of saving him 100000, he never
gave the man any pecuniary reward; and
on his dying bed he directed harsh pro.
ceedings against poor widow who was
behind in her rent. And the Globe adds
"The sweat of dissolution was on his
brow when servant inopportunely whis-
pered to an attendant that certain per-
son had called. Catching the name of
the caller, this candidate for the grave
exclaimed: Let him in-he owes me
$500, and when death came it found
his wasted fingers clutching this roll OF
bills.,' The self-expatriated English AS
tor, of course, omitted all incidents of
this kind in his biographical notice of
his great-grandsire.

Commissioner General of immigration
Powderly is wrestling with a knotty
problcm-whether natives of the Phil
ippines have a legal right to come to
this county without complying with
the immigration laws. A New York
amusement manager engaged party of
Filipplnos, said to be actors, in Manila,
and brought them to San Francisco,
where tie immigration commissioner re-
fused to allow them to land on the
ground that they were destitute aliens.
The New York manager appealed to
Commissioner Powderly, making the ar
gument that the Philippines being part
of the United States, the natives have
the same right to travel from one palt
of the country to another part that is
possessed by the natives Of any of the
states or territories; he also claims that
the immigration laws do not apply to
actors who come to the country for the
purpose of giving exhibitions. Mr.. Pow
derly has the case under consideration
and his decision is expected in a few
days.

Mayor MCGUIRE Of Syracuse, N. Y,
is urging the common council of his
city to pass an ordinance demanding
protection to the Rapid Transit motor
men. In letter to the council he
says:
The approach Of winter again brings
to our minds the suffering which the
motormen are obliged to undergo
through severe weather. A man has
only to stand on the front platform OF
an electric car on cold day or night,
with the wind or sleet and snow blow
ing in his face, to slightly appreciate
the hardships which the motormen are
obliged to endure through the failure
Of the railroad companies to protect
their cars. 1t is not only humane, but
would seem absolutely necessary for
the preservation of life, to say nothing
Of comfort, If the cars were vestibuled
in severe weather l have noticed that
a number of cities have taken up the
subject and have forced or induced
the railroad companies to provide YES
thule protection for their men during
the winter months. l would respect
fully suggest that this communication
be referred to the committee on ordi-
nances, with the hope that the commit
tee will prepared some ordinance that
will require the railroad companies to
provide these vestibules Immediately.

Arc Lamp without Carbons-A New In
ventiOn That VIII Make Thorn Pos
sibls-Slgnaling At Sea by Might
Mushroom Caves.


From the London Daily Mail: Pro-
visional protection has just been OBJ
tanned for what appears to be q valu-
able electric arc lamp invention. The
chief merit Of the new lamp, for which
patents have been applied for in Eng
land and other countries by Mr.. Peter
Spies Of Fossdeneroad, Charlton, lies
In the fact that the ordinary carbons,
inseparable from other electric arc
lights, are not required at all.
Nowadays everybody is more or less
familiar with the arc lights used so
extensively for street and other out
door illumination. Doubtless, however,
few Of the general public are aware
that at the point of illumination the
electric current flows along sticks of
carbon, which are gradually burned
away by the intense heat and have to
be regularly replaced. The cost of
material, time and labor this neces-
states is expected to be saved by the
carbonless arc lamp, the newest in
vention.
In an interview with a Daily Mail
representative the inventor and pat
entee explained the advantages and
general principles Of this latest ad-
vance. "On an average" said Mr..
Spies, latter every fifty hours burning,
the carbons have to be renewed. The
new lamp, as opposed to this, will re-
Quire no attention for at least twelve
months, except an occasional outside
cleaning. 1t has no intricate clock
work worked by an electromagnetic to
get out of order, or to display the Or
binary antics of the arc light. My
arc lamp is simply an air-tight glass
globe, from which the air has been
exhausted. Inside are two L-shaped
aluminium arms tipped with platinum,
which take the place of the old-fash-
Toned carbon, and are regulated by
pendulum.
The arc lamp does not require to
be suspended perpendicularly. In fact,
it is intended to be fixed to project
horizontally. 1t throws no shadows
and reduces the expenses of mainte-
nance to minimum. The wasting Of
the aluminium arms, owing to their
being enclosed in the airless globe, is
SO small that only yearly replace
ment becomes necessary"
