AT SEA, ON BOARD STEAMSHIP
BATAVIA, July Son Tuesday. June &c.
at D. m, leaving our good hotel, the
Empire we proceeded to the pier Of the
neutrality-suspicious. line, and went
aboard the steamer that was to convey
us to the Old World. At 1920 we were
moving out into the bay, and were soon
speeding towards Sandy Hook with a
feeling that we were indeed separating
ourselves from our native land and from
our friends. To one living inland. the
crossing Of the Atlantic seems great
undertaking, fraught with unknown
dangers and attended by many uncer-
tainties, but having once made the trip
this feeling changes completely to one Of
security and confidence.
The scene at the pier was unusually
brilliant and agreeable. Great crowds at
tended special parties, and as we moved
out a full band on the Graft Waldersee
played an inspiring air; q thousand
friends cheered and waved an adieu, and
huttering handkerchiefs and flowers and
cheers filled the air. There was no sor-
rowful parting; no tears, no signs; every
thing Indicated buoyant joyousness, and
delightful expectation, and so far we
have found abundant justification for
both.
Presently there was the usual parting
with the pilot. Land objects began to
fade from sight. Fire Island receded and
we were upon 1.-The wide, wide sea-"
trusting for safety against wind and
wave to a merciful Providence and to
the good ship.
After supper, which was partaken of
lightly, people began to gather on the
deck and to enjoy the beautiful evening"
The only band on board was brought
out and played by the "scrubbing bri-
gade." It consisted of a triangle, an ac-
Gordon and a drum made Of a barrel
with coarse canvas stretched across the
ends To this rude music we descended
into the dining hall, where we had piano
and mandolin music and finally the
Christian Endeavorers closed the day with
religious services. AS passed the first

people; their splendid physique compels
our admiration. and we rejoice with them
in youthful sports and spirits .'They are
all right" But a few evenings since we
saw two young ladies standing at the
plano together singing one Of the most
beautiful of the Christian Endeavor
hymns. Not alone the beauty of their
faces, the truth of their song, nor the
melody of their voices, but all these led
US to realize again, as often before, that
there is nothing that so glorifies the hui
man face as Faith, Love, Hope. That

a spiritual refinement that knows moth
ing of the alloy Of sin; sublime faith
that beyond the gateway leading from
this life, there are joy, peace, perfection.
make human life not only beautiful, but
complete. So we honor and reverence
these people who, in sincerity and love,
hold fast to their faith.
We shall reach Cherbourg Saturday
evening, July 7, and Hamburg Monday.

PARACHUTE JUMPS.
A Circus Balloon Artist Tells About
the Sensation.

New York News.
Coming down from the clouds in
parachute is like a dream" said a circus
balloon artist. Ever dream of falling
from a high place? You come down,
alight quietly and awake, and you're not
hurt. Well, that's the parachute drop
over again. No, there Is no danger. A
parachute can be guided readily on the
down trip, but you can't steer a balloon.
To guide parachute out of harms
way a practiced hand can tilt It one
way or tho other, spill out air and thus
work 1t to where wou want TO land, or to
avoid water, trees, chimneys or church
spires. Circus ascenS1ons are generally
made in the evening. When the sun
goes down the wind goes down. The bal
loon then shoots into the air and the
parachute drops back on the circus lot,
or not far away.
"a balloon is made up Of four-cent mus
lin and weighs about 500 pounds A par
achute is made Of eight-cent muslin. The
rope that secures the parachute is cut
with knife. The aeronaut drops fully
100 feet before the parachute begins to
fill. 1t must fill If you're up high enough.
There are several hundred parachute
men In the business, and the accidents
are less in ratio than railroad casualties.
Our business IS new, at that After a
while the ratio viii be less. A man can't
shake out a parachute II it doesn't open.
A man in the air is simply powerless.
Invariably the fall Is head first. When
the parachute begins to fill the descent
Is less rapid, and finally when the para
chute has finally filed 1t bulges out with
a pop. Then the aeronaut climbs on to
his trapeze and guides the parachute to
a safe landing. In seven cases out Of ten
you can land back on the lot where you
started from"

BEATING PARIS THEATERs.
Figaro Tells Two Interesting Stories
About How 1t Is Done.

About How 1t Is Done.
The recent arrest Of a man who tried
to beat his way into Paris theaters by
representing himself as Henry Fouquier,
the dramatic critic of the Figaro, recalls
a. good story Of the famous caricaturist
Grevin.
He rarely attended the theater, and
had never been in the Folies- Bergere,
though his name had been on it's compli-
mentary list for years.
One evening he presented himself at
the music hall and gave his name
"Grevin, the artist asked the ticket
taker
eyes, of course"
you can't play that game here, my
friend. We know Grevin too well. Why,
he has been here almost every night for
the last five years."
There is still a better story Of the com
poser, Boieldieu. who was on the free
list Of the Theatre Francois, but seldom
went thither
One evening he appeared at the box
office accompanied by young lady. Buy
ing a ticket for her, he handed it to the
gateman and gave his own name
oh, yes, that's good joke" said the
ticket-taker 1--WE don't mind 1t much.
We are used to it. For tonight, you see,
1t won't work. for Mr.. Boiadieu has just
gone in and is now sitting IN his usual
seat in the orchestra
Boieldieu redeemed as If with conscious
guilt, stammered g. confused apology, and
bought another ticket at the box office.
''But surely you're not going to let them
take you for an imposter?" exclaimed
the young lady. You ought to unmask
the villain who has stolen your name"
why should disturb the poor devil?"
said Boieldieu. Evidently he is much fond
er of the theater than I, as he attends so
often and I so seldom

band has played, the drum has been beat
en- to pieces again and again, and as
often repaired. Merry feet have tripped
"the light fantastic toe," inclosed in
heavy walking shoes, however. Mr.. Nash
has sung "The Old Kent Rooad" and kim
bred songs, religious services have been
held, and we have soundly slumbered
every night and voraciously eaten every
day.
On Tuesday night a burlesque Demo-
cratic convention was held, which, how
ever, resulted In a difference of opinion
which has caused lasting unpleasantness.
CELEBRATED THE FOURTH.
Yesterday was real gala day. The
ship was bright with flags, and seldom
has the Fourth Of July been so splendidly
celebrated. We had marching, singing,
speaking and dancing, and possibly some
quiet beer drinking to the dear land we
have left so far behind. The tense nature
of the political excitement even now Is
| shown on shipboard by the fact that it
is not possible to declare a party pref
| erence without bringing up angry conten-
| lions. Among these educated, cosmopolt-
tan people sober discussion is impossible.
How will it be with the great masses be-
| fore the fever of the campaign is over.
"Alas! the rarity Of Christian charityF
Is it possible that argument, reason,
conciliatory spirit, are to give way be-
| fore brute force? I have heard much Of
the doctrine that might makes right
since 1 have come on board this good
ship.
This steamer is splendidly Differed, and
from Captain Magin down to the boy
who scrubs the deck we have received
every attention. The table service has
been excellent. The sea has been singu-
larly smooth throughout and the voyage
IS remarkably warm one. There has
been no seasickness to amount to any
thing, and all the trouble that anyone has
experienced has arisen from some dis
agreement as to rules of proper 1onduct,
and this has been serious. There are on
board many good people who have thrown
aside business and social cares and VINO
wish relief and relaxation; these are sat
isfied with anything; also body OF young
people accompanying the athletes OF Mich
igan university to Paris. To sing, dance,
run, jump and cheer constitute their chief
enjoyment. Finally there is a band Of
Christian Endeavorers and seven or eight
ministers; and these good people felt that
the withdrawal from the concerns and
vanities of the land afforded an excellent
opportunity for religious contemplation
and meditation.
DISPLEASED THE CLOTH.
They would under the influences strange
and novel, stars above, winds about, and
waves below them rely as never before
upon Divine Guidance and protection, and
hold communion with the dear Father,
who rules over land and sea. Alas they
have found too much leyity, jest and
jokes and rude song have shocked, sad
dened and finally angered them, and they
have held themselves aloof and feel that
they have not been properly treated, nor
their cherished principles properly respect
ed. They are not to be censured. Even
those who feel that they exaggerate the
offending of their fellow passengers ex-
cuse them because they recognize their
sincerity.
We heartily enjoy the life of the young

GAMBLING IN THE SIN NATIONS.
Primitive Form of Amusement That Is
Highly Interesting.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The Indians of the Six Nations will not
play cards. for these were brought to this
country by the white man, and would have
evil for the Indian. They also look upon
the violin as an instrument that has led
white Young people to harm and will not
permit its music to be heard among them.
The gambling game played at these re-
lisious festivals is the peachstone game.
l have brought back several of them. The
Indians lose all their stoicsm when indug-
ing in this game, and the scene WITHIN the
Long House can only be compared to
morning on the board of trade. Men and
women both engage in the game. Some or
the most valuable articles of wearing ap-
parel and other possessions have been COL
lected as prizes.
Two men. one from each side of the Long
House are appointed to call out the male
PLAYERS. and two women to serve a like pur
pose for the women. A blanket is spread
on the floor of the Long House. and in the
middle is wooden bowl containing six
pea chStones. These stones have been worn
and polished until they have almost piano
finish. They are biackened on one side. AT
the souths edge of the blanket is vessel
containing 100 beans. from which each of
the callers takes seven. The players are
exhorted to keep their tempers, as it may
please the Great Master to make the losers
win next time If they behave well.
Two players are called at time. and
each in turn shakes the bowl and strikes
the bottom. This throws the peachstones
up and they fall back. The winning throws
are six black or six implanted surfaces. the
count being five in either case and all but
one of either color counting two. A woman
representing the winner takes the beans he
wins by his throws. and the game goes on
until the beans are gone Each article con-
tributed has had another of about equal
value attached to it,, WHICH is wagered
against it. and when the game is over the
winner gets back his own article and also
the one attached to 1t.
one of the most impressive things about
/ this game Is the manner in which the op
! posing sides gather about and urge the
/ plays much dice throwers on LOUISE
ana dock would do. Pointing their two
! foreflngers at the peachstones, those who
are FOR the player say coaxingly: "O-han-
| dab, o-han- dah''-all black-or "Hun-je
| hun je''-all white. The opponents even
more fercely shout ..Scha-a-ah, scha- -ah'
| and ''Tek-i-ne-ta-weh, tek-i-ne-:a-weh''-
| Two of kind. This game may last for
| twerty-four hours. but the excitement
never nags.
