Fred Ringlieb Assaulted and Robbed While on Board
THE CITY OF SEATTLE
Came on Deck in the Early Morning and was Stunned and Robbed by Some Unknown Person While the Vessel Was in Lynn Canal.

Fred Ringlieb was knocked down aboard the steamer City of Seattle early vesterdav morning and robbed of S2o, all he had in the clothes that he wore at the time. The assailant and robber are unknown.
 The victim was struck vicious blow on the crown of the head with something heavy and felled to the deck like beast. He was insensble for half an hour or more, and then when he opened his eyes and looked about he was under the tender care of physician and others on the boat.
 The assault and robbery occurred while the ship was between Juneau and Skag> way, coming this way. Ringlieb recov-- cred yesterday from the effects of the a.- sault, but had an ugly wound to show in evidence of his experience. In relating this he said:
 ''l was travelling as a steerage passen' ger. Between 3 and o'clock in the morning arose to go to the toilet room on the forward part of the freight deck. stopped at the rail on one side of the ship, and while standing there was struck. 1 knew nothing more until came to under the care of the doctor.
 "l had been found lying on the deck by MT. Hidebrand, one of the passengers. The nghtWatchman. at the time was hurt, was in too after part of the ship.
 ''l spoke to the captain about the mat ter, and he examined my wound and gave me courteous attention, but said there was nothing he could do in regard to the case. "
 Ringlieb is from Seattle and is bound for Bennett to seek labor. He is accompanit by Joe Ludwig. They are at the Home lodging house.
 The fact that the Seattle brought to port I8o passengers makes it the more difficult to ascertain who was the assailaut of Ring Heb.

 The Colored Attendant Was Bound
 to Make No Distinctions.
 One of the Michigan officers who was ct the front during the brief war had with him oolored attendant who was as proud of his position as though he were commander in chief, and whose ideas of military discipline were as rigid as those of the veriest martinet. Owing especially to the thieving pro- clivities of some of the Cuban hangers on he was under strict command not to let anything go from the officers tent without personal order from him.
 One evening as the officer and Gen. eral Wheeler met some distance from the camp the general said with smack of his lips, II hear, siI, that you re- ceived some very fine branded peaches from home"
 "Yes, general. they're prime, and Pm going to send you some Meantime you had better stop at my tent on the way in and have my man give you can. I"
 When the officer reached his quar. ters, he was approached by his attend. ant with an elaborate salute and "Did you tell dat Gen'l Wheelah, sah, dat he could call heah, sah, an procu' can ob dem branded peaches, sahf'
 "Yes Of course you gave them to himf'
 "No, sah, with another athletic sa- lute, "no, sah. knows my duties. sah. l done tole Gen'l .Wheelah dat all men look alike to me, sab. an if he didn' bab no ohdah he couldn' hab no peaches, sah, less he oba come me by powah ob supeiah numbers, sah. " Why. you black rascal. what did he sayf'

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
The Value of Specialty-A Little Pa. trtot-Two Young Editors.
 Just a Little Wrong.

A youth took, as he expressed it, the notion into his head to investigate the peculiarities of certain plant. Not very much was known of it save that 1t was thought to have possibilities as a commercial IT aduct for future use. He studied and read about it, cultivated it, and, according t3 his friends and play mates. wasted lot of valuable time on 1t.
 After time public attention was armed to this plant. No one seemed to mow very much about it. When it was ieported to the commissioner whose business it was t6 make scientific ex- Deriments with it that there was Q young man, little more than lad, who had paid some attention to it. the boy &as sent for and catechised as to his in. eprma tion on the subject. So extensive was his knowledge of this new product that be was appointed to go abroad with the commission and study the plant up on its native soil.
 Here was the moment, and the man was ready. This is the history of many af the brightest and most successful men Of our time. They did not know at what moment certain facts might be re- 2uired, but they had carefully stored away such knowledge as was likely tc be of use to the world at some future lay.
 Every young person should have pecialty to study, or, be that what it may, no effort should be left untried to obtain complete mastery of the topio under consideration. The parable of the wise virgins who had their lamps trim. med and burning is one that all ambi- tious young people should study in all of its various phases and possibilities. If their lamps are trimmed and burn- ing, they are ready to go out conquer ing and to conquer whenever the aus picious moment arrives for which all of their thought and research have been but the necessary preliminaries. New York Ledger.
 A Little Patriot.
 While our soldiers were passing through Kentucky, on their way south, q small, barefoot boy, with tin bucket in his hand and look of complete ab- sorption on his face. was standing near the train, when it stopped few min utes at wayside station.
 The soldiers were taking a long ride and had had nothing to eat since the night before. and they were quite hungry lot. One of them called to tn, boy, "Sonny, what have you in you bucket?'
 My dinner"
 "I'll give you a dime for it, " sait the hungry soldier.
 The lad quickly handed the bucket tt the speaker, but, when payment wal offered, he shook his head.
 "No, sir, l wouldn't charge soldier for anything to eat. You are welcome to it." And when the train moved of one lad trotted dinnerless to school, but with patriotic heart beating loudly ir his bosom. Success.

Essays on Pan-American..

A movement to interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
In the Pan-American Exposition to be
held ut Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated I'm some Of the
public schools Of Pennsylvania and is
being taken up elsewhere as the wis.
dom OF the plan becomes apparent. The
idea is to have the teachers I'm the pub.
Tic schools write essays for various oc.
caslons Of an educational character ON
the objects and aims Of the Exposition
and the bearing that such display
will have on the commerce of the
world. A similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue.
cessful and resulted In the attendance
or large corps Of teachers at that fair.
The plan 1ntemplates also ESSAYS by
pupils. 1t is believed that In this way
much information can be spread re.
garding the benefits to be derived from
cultivating closer relations with the
different countries Of this hemisphere
and that it would result in greater in
telligence among the public school
teachers and pupils on this subject, as
we'll as larger attendance among this
