Ship Was Saved.

Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Sept. 8.-The
German gunboat Panther arrived
here September and received in
structions from the German govern
ment to capture the Firminist gun
boat Crete-a-Pierrot. She left imme-
diately for ,Gonaives, the seat of the
Firminist government. The Panther
found the Crete-a-Pierrot in the har-
Dor of Gonaives and the commander
of the German gunboat informed Adj
miral Killick, on the Crete-a-Pierrot,
that he must remove his crew and
surrender his vessel in five minutes.
Admiral Killick asked that this time
be extended to Is minutes. This re-
quest was granted on the condition
that the arms and ammunition on

abandoned when her crew left her
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot
left that vessel amid great disorder.
AT the end of Is minutes the Panther
sent a small boat carrying an officer
and 20 sailors who were to take pos
session of the Firminist gunboat

point about 80 yards from the Crete
a-Pierrot flames were seen to break
out on board of her. She had been
fired by her crew before they left

Crete-a-Pierrot until she was COM
pletely immersed. Thirty shots all
told were fired.

WANTS THEM TO WASH.
WeH-KnOwn EcciesIastie Sends Remark
able Petition to the Pope Regarding
italian Monks or Priests.

Rome, Sept. IA we1l-known ec-
cIesiastic has forwarded a remark
able petition to the pope. Sin the
interests of civilized society and the
honor of religion in Italy, he begs
the pontiff to grant plenary indul-
gence to all priests or monks who
shall wash themselves daily, with ex-
ira impartial indulgence to those
shaving regularly at least three times
week during specified period.
Students belonging to the Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxon colleges at Rome
are easily recognizable by their gen
eral neatness and cleanliness, but in
the italian seminaries and monastic
novitiates the traditional sanctity of
dirt still holds sway. In most of
them soap, hair brushes and looking
glasses are worldly luxuries excluded
by rule, and the clerics emerging
therefrom perpetuate the tradition.
The pope on occasion has evinced an
noyance at the unkempt condition of
the monks who have come in close
contact with his august person.
Visitors to Italy will heartily well
come the innovation.

for divorce. The attorneys of Mrs.
Conrad appealed to the postal au-
thorities and among the letters from
Conrad to the woman of whom he
was enamored there was found one
in which Conrad outlined his plan
''to convey his wife to the middle of
the Ohio river, upset the sHif as
though by accident, swim ashore him
self and leave Mrs. Conrad to drown"

this letter and knew he would be

whom he deserted his wife and then
killed himself. Mrs. Conrad says he
repeatedly invited her to take boat
rides but she had been forewarned.

But above all things, I ask to clear
everybody from under suspicion.
There is no second party; 1 am the
last.-W. ]. Bartholin.'
