QUEER CRUISE
OF THE HERMAN
Captain Brown Keeps Up His
Air of Mysterious
Secrecy.

The trim little treasure-hunting
schooner Herman attracted a lot of at
tention along the waterfront yester-
day. Brown. her aged captain, paced
her deck for the greater part of the day
How strange said one, that a man
of that age should be taking great risks
at sea to hunt for treasure Years
ago treasure hunting was supposed to
be part of the religion of the young
fellow just out of college who was
spending his time in a mad way in try
ing the squander what money he had in
order TO get a thousand times as much
out Of some crazy scheme.
But not so nowadays. Old Captain
Brown has sailed the sea for many
day. He can smell a gale o. wind many
leagues away. And when the gale
comes he knows how to handle it, He
has experienced some of the widest of
sea life-has seen and heard many
things. For years he kept secret a lit
tie yarn about treasure on a South Sea
Island. Now he has interested a com
pany or syndicate with big capital to
help him to get the treasure. His cruise
IS a mysterious one, and as a sailor
says: No one on this craft 'cept Cap'n
Brown knows where this crafts bound
for, an he won't tell anyone-not even
hem two noblemen in the cabin-until

Most OF the fish taken were ''halalu,"

An english barrister recently tod
an amusing story Of an old legal
victory he won when, as counsel
for the defendant, he was exanfin-
ing the complainant IN certain
case.
His client, Hat WheeIock, had
got into a quarrel with one Pat
Mcdonald over a horse transaction.
The QUARREL had gone 50 far that
Mcdonald had made application to
a magistrate to have Wheeloek
bound over to keep the peace, alleg-
ing that he had threatened to do
him bodily injury.
When the case was called Me
Donald testified to the circumstan-
ces under which Wheelock ha d
threatened him. The cross-exam-
ination began:
Now, Mr.. Mcdonald, " the lawyer
said, you declare that you are
under fear Of bodily harm?"
I ana, sorr
"You are even afraid for your
lie?
Il ana, sorr.
Then YOU freely admit that Hat
N-heelock can whip you. Pat Nc
Donald"
The question reused McDonald's
fIrish' instantly.
HAT Wheelock whip me? Niv-
YER" he shouted. "Ikin whip him
and amy holt dozen like him"
That Will do, Mr.. Mcdonald,
said the attorney. The court was
already in roar, and the lawyer
concluded the case without further
testimony or argument. The action
was dismissed, for it was evidAt
that Pat could not be under sEous
bodily fear OF man whSn he
could whip so easily.-(New York

SUT AGAINST HE C|TY.
Hastings Co. Wants Pay for North Main Street Paving.

City Has Held Up the Money Because
 the Pavement Company Did Not
 Live Up to Its Agreement-Pave-
 ment Did Not Stand the Test and the
 Company Refused to Repair it Prop
 erly.
 Suit for $500 has been instituted against the city by the Hastings Pave ment Co, through thelr attorneys, Bur pee x Carmody, for alleged failure on the part of the city to accept work done by the company on North Main street This matter has been in hand a long time and if 1t goes into the courts. the city will be able to give good account of itself. The company gave a five years guarantee of the job, but when it came to making repairs they failed to stand by their agreement and in- stead of doing things in accordance with instructions of the board of pub lie works, as per contract, they suited themselves about it. Some of the blocks were worn two-thir1s through. These the city objected to having re- laid. but the company's agent took no stock in the inspector appointed by the city to see that the provisions of the contract were carried out. The next. move on the part of the company was to demand the percentage withheld but, of course, payment was refused The board of public works considers it the worst paving job in the city, and in addition to this those who had to do with 1t for the city were used with much discourtesy by the representa- tives of the company. While they were making what they called repairs some time ago many citizens felt that the board had shirked it's duty in not order ing them off the street.

FOREIGN SHIPS MAY COMPETE
In the Carrying of Material to
 Panama Canal.

Tire Amount Needed Will Exceed
 $10,00O, ,0O0- Cement, Granite, Lum-
 Der and Machinery Will Be the Main Things Needed-Besides This Will
 Be the Food Supplies.
 New York, Aug 22.-Rcferring to the fact that the construction of the Pan- anna canal will necessitate the trans Eportation of hundreds of cargoeS of construction material, food supplies, for workmen, etc, the Journal of Com merce adds:
 "Panama and Colon are foreign ports and there is nothing, therefore, to pre- vent foreign ship owners from compet- ing at low rates for carrying material. It is said by q representative of the Panama canal interests that the mater 1al required in the construction of the canal will certainly exceed $1O,O0O,000, i'll addition to food supplies. This material will consist very largely of cement, granite, lumber and machin- cry. The lumber will undoubtedly come largely from Oregon and that sec ton of the country, and will not be a matter of much concern to ship owners on the Atlantic coast, but ill the case of cement, stone and machinery the Items will be of great importance and communications have already been sent to the government at Washing ton with view to seeing if some way cannot be decided upon whereby this enormous carrying movement may be confined to American ships.'

The man was not of sound mind for the past couple of years and spent much of his time breeding over. imaginary troubles. He used to say that it was hard for man to be work ing hard right along and yet see no prospect of being able to get enough ahead for the time when he should cease to be source of revenue. He was employed at Holmes, Booth & Haydens,. and made good wages, but he has not attended to his work stead fly for the past few weeks. When he went home last night he sat down at the table and wrote note bidding his wife goodbye, asking her to forgive him for all he had done and telling her of his intention to get out of this world. When he had the note completed he stood up and swallowed the acid out of bottle. A few seconds later his wife entered and found him on the floor. Dr P.J J. Dwyer was called, but he could do nothing for him and about 11:45 hehpassed away
 Medical Examiner AxteIle viewed the body and gave permission for bur- ial. He also took the note and such other evidence as he could gather rel ative to the cause of death and for- Warded all to the coroner. Under taker Mulville was called to prepare the body for burial, which will take place Sunday afternoon.
 Besides his widow the deceased leaves seven children, the oldest 16 and the youngest two, Helena, Anna, Mary. Edith, Josephine, William and John. He was q member of Court Phelan. F. of A., and Division No 4, A. O. IF.
