H0ODOoED TOPsAIL
Caused Every Sailor to Fall That
Touched the Spot.

N"useu EVERY sailor to Fall That
Touched the Spot.
New York World.
Sailor Apprentice Charles Stancliffe. Of
the large British bark Elllsland, from Ca
leta Buena, now tied up at the saItpetre
cock In the Erie basin, says he quit the
British bark Wythop, his last ship, on &c
count Of her fatal fore upper topsail yard.
1t was the quarter Of the yard on this
starboard side that was hOOdOOad. First
Dixon, seasoned salt, tumbled from the
foot-rope and was killed. Then Appren-
tice Sailor Stoddarj lost his grip, struck
spar stretched from the poop to the
half-deck house and had the life dashed
out Of him.
Apprentice Whitan was the next vic
tim OF the Ill-starred upper fore topsaII
yard. All the doomed men fell from the
same spot. In anticipation OF q squall,
Capt. 7. P. Edwards had ordered sail
shortened, and there was q race between
starboard and port watches, each hustling
up the main fore rigging respectively to
see which should first furl.
Stoddard, standing at the fatal quarter
of the hoodooed upper topsail yard. passed
a gasket over the front Of the yard and
pulled in the end toward himself There
was a lot OF slack on the under side. The
gasket let the lad fall backward and, los
ing his hold on the gasket, StOddard fell.
The Wythop was then bound from Port
Perie to Antwerp with silver ore, which
was packed within trunkway. The plank
sides of the trunkway extended from the
sister keelsons upward and slightly Lean
ing inboard. This false ship within a ship
was to keep the ore from rolling, and the
slightest collision would have meant a
sinking ship.
AS If the hoodoo Of the yard had been
transferred to the bark, a strange steam
ship, believed by her build and general
style to be a North-German Lloyder, bore
down upon the Wythop on a dark night
off Wolf Rock.
The unhappy Wythop, tender with
ticklish cargo was hove to on the port
tack under lower topsails and foretop-
mast and mizzen staysails. Her yards
were hauled sharp up. and the helm was
kept hard down to save her from making
too much leeway.
The unknown steamship, to the terror
of Capt Edwards, crossed to leeward, and
shouts rang out aboard the Wythop to
call all hands. The men, some wholly
undressed and others half dressed, ran
to stations.
Haul the spanker out!" bawled Capt.
Edwards through a short sea trumpet.
The bark was making a leeway at three
knots an hour, and the steamer bade fair
to crush her. The bark, brought up alta
standstiH by Capt. Edwards maneuver,
came up instead of paying off. The masts
grOaned, and the stays stretched and tun-
ed. as the tender bark was KEEP aback
She was arrested in her drift in time TO
let the floating liner pass, and the danger
was past.

New York Journal
A good many people protest against
smoking and say that 1t is Injurious, but
Corporal John Trusttum, of the Royal
Horse artillery, a New York boy, who
went out to South Africa to fight the
Beers. will always swear by 1t. for the
reason that plug Of tobacco saved his
life at the battle of Klipkraal, near
Bloemfontein, on May 3.
John Trusttum resided with his mar
ried sister, Mrs. Vogt, at No. Ais East
Fifty-eighth street. He had Q roaming
disposition and could not rest in New
York when the Boer war began.
He Ionged for an opportunity to see the
fighting in South Africa, and accordingly
he went to England, joined the Horse ar
tillery and went out fired with the ambi-
ton Of serving under Lord Roberts.
He went through several bloody en-
gagements and came out scratches till
the attack on Klipkraal. May 3, when he
was leading a galloping Maxim battery

MAKE But ONE ADDRESS
GOV. ROOSEVELT MAY DIsAPPOINT
LOT OF PEOPLE
TUESDAY
IF NEW YORK REPORT Is TRUE
Said Before Starting He Would
Speak Only at the National
Republican League
Convention.

If Gov. Roosevelt adheres to his decIa-
ration made before leaving New York
yesterday, lot of people who are expect
ing to hear him speak will be disappoint-
ed. AS will be seen from the Associated
Press dispatch below, the governor ex-
poets to deliver but one address in st.
Paul, and that before the convention. As
the Auditorium will hold but a fraction of
those that hope to hear him, there il
likely to be a rush for the morning
league meeting. The dispatch follows:
New York, July 15.-Gov. Roosevelt
left this city today for St Paul, where
he will address the National League of
republican Clubs at their annual cOnVen-
ton.
Gov. Roosevelt said before starting that
he would positively not make any speech
between here and st. Paul, either going
or coming, and that he would make but
one speech in st. Paul and that before
the convention. He denied that he would
stop off at Cleveland to confer with SEN
ator Hanna; He said he expected to be
home by Thursday.
Gov. Roosevelt expects to address the
Hebrew Chautauqua society in Atlanta
City, July %. Beyond that he said he
had no definite plans:
The advance guard Of the delegates to
the Republican league convention will
reach st. Paul this evening. Several of
the most prominent members are now on
the ground, and the main body Of the
delegates will arrive tomorrow and Tues
day evening. Col. Stone, national presi-
dent, is here, and has been chiefly &C.
cupied arranging with Secretary Slime
preliminaries for the big gathering. A. j.
Edwards, of Pittsburg, was among yes
terday's arrivals. Mr.. Edwards was
among the enthusiastic ST. Paul advo-
Gates when this city was in the field for
selection as the meeting place. Mr.. Ed
wards states that Pennsylvania will send
a delegation Of fifty that will reach st.
Paul Tuesday morning. Judge and Mrs.
e. L. Hodges, both delegates from Col
ora 10, came In yesterday. Col. Hodges
is director of the government mint at
Denver, and Mrs. Hodges is an enthusiasts
tic Republican, being among the very few
lady delegates, if not the only one. The
colonel is a former resident Of st. Paul.
having lived here during 1864. However,
St Paul of thirty-slx years ago and st.
Paul of today find no parallel.

What wrought this unhappy change in
the character Of Solomon? Some of the
leadlng causes of his downfall lie on the
surface of the narrative, and are such as
nevertheless belong to life in our day as
in his day. The first was his unclouded
prosperity. Second, his abundance OF
mental gifts. Third, his heather mar
ftages and entanglements with the outly-
ing nations. Fourth. his extravaganza.
You and I may not have Solomons
spirit of extravaganza. To borrow money
or incur bills, where there is no rea-
sonable hope of paying the same, is only
one remove from robbery, and often it is
only stealing in disguise. Between
Moloch and Jehovah there IS great gulf
fixed, as there is a great gulf fixed be-
tween the simple gospel of Jesus Christ
and a hundred religious schemes which
line the bargain counter Of modern
thought.
The great question at tho beginning of
Solomons reign seemed to be how to
spend his. income. and the question at
the end of his reign was how to get in
come to spend. To begin well is half the
battle, but it Is not the whole of the bat
tie. Did Solomon repent and come back
at last to his old faith and life? We
may in all charity believe that he did,
though we cannot be quite sure of it,
