A ITOrry Story.

In London an American boasting of
the superiority of his country, was in
terrupted by an Englishman, who said:
"Theres one thing in which this coun-
try surpasses America. You never saw
on the other side of the Atlantic any
fog that could match the one whick
hangs over London tonight"
Fog. Fog" came the unhesitating
reply of the irate American. "Why,
this is nothing compared with some of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog is so thick
around there that it's common thing
fer the captains of the ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out of the cabins. Why, there's Il
corporation organizing in New Jersey
right now to can American fog and
supply the British people with the real

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.
Curious Letters by IN Harvard Man
Who Served Under Washington.

Who Served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history, as
valuable in their way as the more seri-
Gus studies, are found in little collec-
ton of letters from Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved In the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives and friends in New Hamp-
shire by one William Weeks, a Har-
ward graduate, who was an officer in
Washington's army.
Homesickness must have been severe
at times, though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
to have had hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. "This
Day." he writes, II must be at Gen'l
Sullivan's to take Dinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour
conferd upon mel had the Honour
to take Glass of Wine with Gen'l
Washington & his Lady-But at the
same time l should count as great an
Honour to have the satisfaction of see
ing, conversing & taking a Glass of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is n curious indication of the
state Of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter, where Mr.. Weeks says, "If my
Wages Were not higher than l expected
when at Home, l would by no means
tarry, but as they are rais'd, and for
the Love l have for the Country, can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army"
That the manner Of obtaining Her
ward degree has changed radically in
the last hundred years appears in a
paragraph written at Valley Forge in
111S. Weeks had taken his A. B. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ. "As the cam
paign is coming on" he wrote, II have
but little expectation of coming home
for my degree" But 1t appears that In
consideration of the $40 which his fa n
lily forwarded to the college in response
TO this request the desired honor was
conferred.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.


A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
| This fact does not apply so aptly to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life of these,
so far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and file-those who never rise
| higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit of endur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
| doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as rule passes
away in so far as the profession is
concerned, and new crop is harvest
| ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
| ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping finan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
| than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinct!on-although
this Is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
| that the stage, so far as they are di-
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file of the profess
sion Is constantly changing, and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor" is easily isproved.-Chicago

Government Vessel lrouuoIs Went Co
Rescue of lmparllod Fishermen.
Elcu and two Launches also i'm service

There was great excitement along the
water front and especially among the
Japanese fishermen yesterday after
noon, over the plight of eight Japs who
were Capsized from a sampan at the
mouth of the harbor, All day. there
had been very rough gale blowing
from off shore and fears were early en-
tertained for the safety of the various
Japanese fishing boats
About 9 o'clock i'm the afternoon
Lieutenant kOdman commander Of the
government tug lroquois, was notified
that sampan COntaininf aiglt men
had been capsized at the entrance 20
the harbOr Through the marine gjasse-
he could see the entire crowd Clirging
to the bottom of their upturned boat
Lieutenant ROdman asked the pilot
boat boys to go out and rescue the
japanese but the natives refused to go.
II would be impossible to get back, t. o.,
declared. The officer made several eff
forts to send assistance imm 'dtstely 20
the wrecked fishermen but was unable
to get any crews together. He ex-
planned to the boat boys that he had
already given orders to get steam UP
on the IrOquOis but it would be fully
an hour before he could go after the
imperiled men.
Before the Iroquois started, the qua
rantine launch Oahu which had been
out with DR.. Moore to pass the bark
kaiulani arriving from San Francisco,
rescued the eight men and brought
them to shore, although the sampan
had to be left outside.
Lieutenant Rodman had been inform
&c that two Japanese had gone out
Thursday night to fish and that the
big sampan with the eight men had
been sent in search of them, so the
Japanese ashore feared that the first
sampan had been swept to sea. Several
other fishing boats could be seen an
ChOTed Eva of the mouth Of the har-
Dor Lieutenant ROdman went to their
assistance. None of the boats were
brought back as their occupants SEEM
ed to think they were safe enough for
the present. Lieutenant Rodman crus-
ed around for some time with the
IroquOis and finally returned to port.
The Government tug Eleu later
brought in two sampans containing
Japanese and Young Brothers with one
OF their launches, rescued a couple of
japanese who had been capslzed in
sampan near the entrance to the har-
Dor. All of the sampans were rescued.

AS tn. Naile Ilimas waited until their

as somewhat ridiculous, The year is

TO CLEAN WASH HOUSE.
DR.. sloggetts Crusade Will Be Inau-
gurated at once.

AS the result of the positive stand
recently taken by President SlOggett
of the Board of Health, the public
works department will begin today TO
clean up the public wash houses Dr.
Sloggett called the attention of the
board of health and superintendent Of
public works some time ago to the sa-
nitary condition of the public wash
houses at Iwilei The conditions were
very dangerous, he declared, and steps
should be taken without delay to have
suitable renovations made.
Acting Assistant superintendent Of
Public Works Guy Gere will begin to-
day to attend to this work. The walls,
to a height of five feet from the floor,
will be covered with a specially prepar-
ed paint while the balance of the walls
and the ceilings will be covered with
magnite paint. Other improvements
for the draining of the floors will also
be made 1t is likely that the work will
occupy considerable of next week but
NY Gere intends to have the work tho
roughly done.
