But the Man at the Wheel Almost
Wrecked the vecsei.
Captain Tom Evans, Of the Neptune
Line steamer Runo, has indelibly i'm
pressed upon his memory name that
he will ever consider has elements of
danger in It. Coming down the coast
on Oct. 81. bound from Rotterdam for
Baltimore, all hands, except the man
at the wheel, were engaged Furnishing
up the bright work about the decks, to
have the Runo look attractive when she
reached Baltimore. On the forecastle
was man named West, who was
wanted to join the brass polishers aft.
The Runo at the time was steaming
her best on course southwest by west,
Cape Charles lightshlp bearing on the
starboard bow. The second officer had
left the bridge. and Captain Evans
took the deck during his absence.
Learning that the man West was want

and went down to the lower bridge.
1t appeared to him to be but a few
minutes when he looked over the side,
and, to his horror, discovered that the
Runo had Cape Charles lightship and
Hog Island on her port bow. Such a
position was inconceivable to him, and
he rushed to the bridge and ordered the
wheelman to change the course as
speedily as possible to almost east. Sat
isfied with her safe position, the south
west-by-west course was again re-
sumed.
Then Captain Evans demanded of
the man In no uncertain language why
he dared to change the Sessers course,
which would have run her on the low
shores of Virginia within short time,
The man was surprised that the master
should ask such question, which did
not improve Captain Toms humor af.
ter his recovery from scare. The man
said the Captain changed the course
himself. Then came the revelation.
When Capt. Evans shouted "Westr'

The property OF the company consists
OF a plantation OF $4,000 acres Of the
choicest rubber land of Mexico. upon
which over 100000 vigorous young
rubber trees now thrive. On the plan
tation also are numerous mahogany
trees, some of which are of piodigious
growth, thus demonstrating the rich
ness OF the soil. The property is To-
Gated in the department OF Palenque,
: 5e of Chiapas, and it is unquestion-
Y, ny adapted to the productions OF rub
ber and the growth of hardwood tim Der

CONSTITUTIONAL Questions OF importance

Washington, October 17.--Argument was
commenced today before the supreme
court Of tho United States in the well

Of congress to forbid the conveyance Of
the lottery matter from State to State
through such agencies as express com.
panles After the lottery was excluded
from the malls the lottery companies
utilized the express companies In the con

to do this as refutation Of commerce Is
the question involved Ia the present case.
