The Marion Chiicott.

San Francisco. Nov. 27-The Am
erican ship Marion Chilcott is now
owned in San Francisco and this city
in the future will be her home port.
Captain William Matson will be her
managing owner and in company with
the Roderick Dhu. Falls of Clyde. San
tiago and Annie johnson she will run
in the Spreckels line to Hilo.
The Marion Chilcott was formerly
the British ship kilbrannan. She went
ashore at Port Townsend and was
there abandoned by her owners. Lat
er the wreck was purchased by the
stevedoring firm Of Barneson 4 Chill
colt. and after some hard work that
firm got her on and repaired her at
considerable cost. The money expend-
ed on her was more than required un-
der the law laid down by Congress to
obtain for her an American register.
SO the kilbrannan came under the AM
erican flag under the name of the Ma
rion Chiloott. Since then she has been
trading out OF ruget Sound ports and
last year made trip TO Manila for
Uncle Sam, carrying supplies.
The Marion Chilcott is now in Aus.
traiian waters. and Captain Rock has
gone TO Port Adelaide 70 bring her
over for Captain Matson. He will
bring her 10 San Francisco. and here.
after she will run between San Fran.
cisco and Hilo.
The Marion Chilcott was built at
Port Glasgow in 1882, and is $50 fee;
long. IS feet beam and - feet deep.
She is great carrier and has made
some OF the quickest passages of any
OF the iieet on the Coast. The chan.

gets her here he viii turn her into a

ried life can become the commonplace,

each other too tenderly, too fondly for
that. Our love is not of the ordinary
kind, my darling, and our lives will
not be so. All, no, my angel; that can
never be- And the other day she
said: II say, George, how would you

You would? All right. then, and don I
you forget that feeding-bottle for the
baby, or I'll send you back after it,
and, mind that you don't keep dinner
waiting" And he, with falling-aff

piled: "All right, Lou, and | wish
you'd sew a button on the back part Of
those striped trousers of mine; you'll
find them hanging over chair in our

account of their success in raising
various kinds of vegetables and table
delicacies in that arctic region. These
good women have established little
school on the Yukon, about 800 miles
from its mouth, and their experiments
show that it is possible to grow tur-
nips, radishes. and even strawberries
in that territory. They state that
they began their hotbed work as early
as April 20 and sowed radisheS and
turnips in the open ground the second
week in May. The first potatoes were
planted May 16. May 20, 500 cabbage
and caulifower plants were trans

crop thrived. After giving away a

John A. Bingham, who died the
other day in Stubenville at the age
of IS, took no part in contemporary
politics and had passed out of public
notice. But time was when he was
leader in national affairs. He was
in the house of representatives during
the first half of the civil war and for
many years before that time was a
special judge advocate in the trial of
the conspirators against Lincoln's life,
served in the house during the recon-
struction period, and afterward was
minister to Japan, post which he
held a dozen years, until he was re-
since which time the general public
seldom saw his name. 1t was during
his service in congress that the greater
part of Bingham's reputation was woa.
His principal claim to remembrance
was through his connection with the
impeachment of President Johnson.
He was one of the managers of the
prosecution, and associated with him
were Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsyl-
vania. George S. Boutwell, and Benja-
min F. Butler of Massachusetts,
Thomas Williams of Pennsylvania,
and John A. Logan of Illinois. Bing-
ham was man of ability, public spirit
and courage. He was one of the
