A Profitable Vessel.

Recently the American steel four
masted ship Erskine NJ Phelps arrived
in san Francisco, Cal, twenty-five DAYS
out from Honolulu with the greatest
cargo of sugar ever carried into that
port by any single vessel. She carried
5000 tons or 81, 527 sacks, or about %
600 sacks more than any other vessel
had carried heretofore into San Fran
cisco. In coming up from Honolulu
the Phelps carried a crew of twenty
two men all told. including the master
and officers. OF the above fourteen

other eight being officers. The Phelps
was very deeply laden and had but a

is a ship Of 2,7l3 net tons carving no
less than $500 tons dead weight of cargo.

net registered tonnage. with TWENTY-FIVE
men all told, or carrying 225 tons cargo
per man. At 81 or $500 per ton. the
usual freight rate from Honolulu. and
deducting all expenses, the Phelps must
have made $4,000 or more, counting in
her time of loading, sailing and unload

seventy-fve days. AS the capital invest

the annual earnings of the ship would
be equal to nearly $4,000 per annum.

In Arthur Sewall Bath loses her ablest
and best known citizen, her greatest
shipbuilder, her leading tinancier, and d
man whose sterling worth was generally
recognized even by those who were not
his friends. Everybody esteemed and
honored Arthur Sewall.
Mr.. Sewall was a Bathite through
and through. He was born in Bath of
one of Baths oldest and noblest fam
lilies, and his whole life was passed in
the city that he loved. He loved
Bath well and truly and one of his
chief delights was to picture a great
future for the city when both banks
of the noble kennebec should be lined
with great steal shipyards which should
surpass in greatness those of the Scotch
Clyde and the American Delaware.
The dream with him was more than a
dream, too, and much of Mr.. Sewall's
energy was devoted to striving for such
legislation as should return the deep
sea carrying trade to the ships of the
United States and thus form basis
for the realization of his dream. Bath

The seamy Side at Cape Nome.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 8. 1900. No
more pitiful story of death, disease and
starvation has ever come from the
north than that told Of the condition of
the Arctic and Behring sea natives. The
Eskimos have been, and still are, diving
by the score. In desperation born of
disease and starvation, native fathers
have killed their own wives and children
to save them from suffering. Grin
measles and pneumonia have been eni
demic this summer in nearly every
northern native settlement So alarm
ing became the situation a short time
ago that the military authorities at
Nome loaded the revenue cutter Rear
with provisions and medicines and dis
patched the vessel to the relief of the
natives.
The seamy side of life at Cape Nome
is wildly pictured by passengers return
Ing, at the governments expense. on the
transport Lawton which arrived from
Behring sea shores not long ago. The
Lawton had 22o passengers, and 146 of
whom were wholly destitute. sent out
OF the country by the commanders of the
department of Alaska.
The entire aspect of Nome has been
changed by the coming of stormy
weather. The beach is strewn with the
wreckage of schooners. lighters and
small boats. and the district court rec
ords are Uttered with ibels for sal
wage. Business seems to have vastly
improved, and a more generally hope
ful tone Is noticed where people discuss
the possibilities of Nome's future.
The sensation of the hour in the camp

pectors, who have actually had wealth
forced on them. These prospectors.

secure a water right necessary for
the successful working of their prop

much dead ground $3.50 was the price
paid, and the eight men felt that the
sum was extortionate. They have

This, too, i'll spite of the fact that sluic-
ing was greatly handicapped by the lack
of water that has retarded mining in
Nome country during the whole season.
Six more claims, covering the entire
length of the creek. have since been
located by others, and the pay streak
extends through them all.

San Francisco is now at Nome, and has
gone heavily into different scheme

Headache may be called woman's
ailment. Some men suffer from it. But
almost all women have to endure its pain

of the whole body. DR., Pierce's Favor
