away accident and Reported
to Have Gone Insane.

In October, 1896 one Monday
morning the Rushford school did not
open and it was reported that the
teacher had gone insane. The physi-
clan in attendance pronounced the
trouble nervous prostration and said
that school work was mentally and
physically impossible. The teacher,
who is now Mrs L. A. Gullickson, Of
Rushford, Mimi, in a recent inter
view published in the Star of thai
place, gives the true story Of the event.

characteristics of "A Vessel That Had
Had a Wonderful Career.
The slOwest sailing vessel in the
world, the Italian brig Anita s., which
was twice given up as lost on voyages
from South America to Baltimore, re-
Gently arrived at Nantes. France from
Martinique, in the West Indies, after
another unusually long voyage of ten
months, says the Baltimore American.
This vessel has also been 103 days from
Rosario to Santos. 1856 days from Bue-
nos Ayres to Plymouth. I'D days from
Cardiff to Montevideo POS days from
Paysandu to Baltimore, los days from
Brunswick to Paysandu, 234 days from
Paysandu for Baltimore, and 81 days
from Baltimore to Maranham.
On a voyage from South America TO
Baltimore the Anita S. was three
months at sea without a man on deck
who understood navigation which usu-
ally occupies about fifty days. When
month out from MontevideO a knot
in one of the planks in the hull under
the water line fell out, and a big leak
was opened. 1t required the best eff
forts of the crew at the pumps to keep
the vessel free of water. The cargo
had to be shifted to tilt the vessel and
bring the leak above water. when the
hole was plugged up.
The labOrs of the mate in the perspir-
ing hold overheated him, and his sud
den change TO a cooler atmosphere on
deck made him i'll, and he was laid up
in his bunk many months ago with
what seemed to have been pneumonia.
This deprived the vessel of its execu-
tive working officer. Later while Capt
De Rosa was running along the deck
he fell and broke a kneecap. He was
obliged to go to his berth. This de
prived the brigantine of her two Off
GERS, both Of whom were confined to the
cabin. There was not a man among
the crew who understood navigation
The vessel was sailed by members OF
the crew, who consulted the sick Off.
GERS in the cabin. As a result. the yoy.
age was prolonged and the provisions
ran short.
On another occasion the brig was
over 100 days getting from Baltimore
to Brazil She was five days sailing
down the bay. The Anita S. is the only
deep-sea vessel steered by a tiller seen
here in years. Her cabin is below deck

A PECULIAR DEATH SEM ENcE
Curious Phraseoiogy Used by a New

Curious Phraseoiogy Used by a New
Mexican Judge.
Probably the best anecdote of Judge
Benedict is that told relative to his
sentence of death pronounced upon
Jose Maria Martin, who was convicted
of murder in the District Court of Taos
County, New Mexico, under a state Of
facts showing great brutality, and with
absolutely no mitigating circumstances,
says the Taos Cresset. Judge Bene-
dict said:

Maria Martin, you have been indicted.
tried and convicted by jury of your
cOuntrymen. of the crime of murder,
and the Court is now about to pass
upon you the dread sentence of the law.
AS a usual thing it is a painful duty,
lose Maria Martin, for the judge of a
court of justice to pronounce upon a
human being the sentence Of death.
There is something horrible about it,
and the mind of the Court naturally re-
volts from the performance of such a
duty. Happily. however, your case is
relieved of all such unpleasant fea-
lures, and the Court takes positive de-
light in sentencing you to death.
You are young man, Jose Maria
Martin. apparently Of good physical
constitution and robust health. Ordi-
narily you might have looked forward
