SAVED WHOLE CREW.
Tug Waterman Takes off People from
the Barge Wasp.

New Bedford Mass, June 1.-THE
tug r. w. Waterman, Capt. A. N.
Whipple, arrived here, this afternoon,
shortly after o'clock, with the crew
of the barge Wasp, which had sunk in
the bay between IneZ rock and Middle
lodge while under tow.
The captain, his wife and Fred
White, a deck hand, had a thrilling
experience. Soon after the barge left
Newport, this morning, heavily laden
with coal, big seas began to break over
her. The gale increased hourly, until
when Dumping light was reached,
Capt. Whipple had to give the tug a
signal of distress.
The Waterman came alongside and
lines were thrown to the crew of the
sinking vessel. The captains wife was
the first to leave and with q rope made
fast around her waist jumped into the
sea. She was landed on the tug, hav-
ing sustained no serious injury. Capt.
Whipple and the deck hands followed
and were scarcely on the Waterman be-
fore the barge went down.
The Wasp was owned by the Thames
Towboat Co. She was built in 1884 at
Mystic, Conn.

SMUGGLER CAUGHT.
Vessel Wrecked and Crew
Took to Their Heels.
Captain Also Charged With Taking
About $4,000 in Money.
Argentine Flag Was Flying-Captain
May Be Caught.

Washington, June 1.-THE treasury
department has received information
that the brig Vera Cruz VII from Cape
Verde islands for New Bedford, Mass,
which was wrecked off Ocracoke inlet,
N. c., last month, with large number
of immigrants on board, was a SNUG
gler.
An examination of the wreck shows
that the vessel had n false bottom
where was secreted n quantity of rum,
which members of the crew have since
been selling in the vicinity of New
berne. Two of the men against whom
the proof seems conclusive, will be
prosecuted for smuggling and selling
liquor without q license.
The captain of the vessel, Who it is
charged, abscOnded as soon as the
crew were taken ashore with about
$4,000 in money belonging to the immi-
grants, has not yet been arrested, but
officials are hopeful of apprehending
him soon.
The vessel at the time of the disaster
was flying an Argentine flag.

STRIKE PROBABLE
In All the Great Paper Mills
of HoIyoke, Mass.
The Employees Favor That Action, in
Most Of Mills.
And the Decision of the Vote Is
AnxiousIy Awaited.

Holyoke, Mass, June 12.-The general
opinion in this city, the largest paper
making center in the world, today, was
that a strike in practically all the mills
would be instituted by 5000 or more
operatives.
Balloting on the question was begun,
this forenoon, and in view of the senti-
ment as expressed by those already on
strike and by many who are still at
work, it was recognized that the con-
servative employees would have to make
a strong showing If they hoped to de-
feat the radicals.
A strike, if decided upon, will not at
this time include the Chemical Paper
Co, Valley Paper Co., Whiting Paper
Co., or Newton Paper Co. The numer-
Gus paper mills of the American Writ
ing Paper Co., Parsons paper Co.,
Franklin Paper Co, and Hampshire
Paper Co., the latter of South Hadley
Falls, will be affected by a strike vote.
The Chemical Paper Co. has granted
increases in all of it's lists from 10 cents
to Is day.
In the Whiting and Valley mills it is
said there is no strike sentiment. The
Newton plant is the only union one in
Holyoke. With the mills in South
Hadley Falls, Mittineague and else
where there would be between $500 and
1900 people affected by a strike.

This was the last college baseball game
in Maine for the season and BoWdoins
cnviable record shows seven consecu-
tive victories from her sister colleges.
only two Maine games has she lost,
this year, one to Colby and one to the
University of Maine.
Bowdoin has had this year, in the
minds of many people, the strongest
college baseball team that ever went
on the diamond in Maine and not only
does Captain Havey, Coach Irwin and
the best pitcher that Maine ever saw
James Cox, deserve credit, but each in
dividual on the team. Some papers had
the championship all figured out weeks
ago and could give BOwdon no better
than second place, but since the first
two games she has given her opponents
something to think about.

FIRE AT SALEM.
Whole Department Called Out, but Loss
Is Not Excessive.

Salem, Mass, June 1.-THE entire
fire department of the city was called
out, this forenoon, to a fire in a bust
ness structure at the corner of Dodge
and Washington streets, which practi-
cally destroyed that building and
seriously threatened others nearby. The
loss on the building, which was of wood
and three stories in height, will not ex-
coed $780, since the structure was old
and inexpensive. The loss to occupants
is $4,000. The chief damage was sus-
tanned by the A. c. Titus Furniture
Co, which occupied the third floor for
storage of furniture.
1t is understood that the blaze had
it's origin in the accidental overturning
of a lantern which was held by Joseph
Farrell at the warerooms of the Titus
Co.
AS soon as the first piece of appar-
atus arrived the seriousness of the fire
was perceived and Il general alarm was
sent in. After an hours hard fight the
fire was under control.
Those who suffered loss include the
Eastern Hotel Co, T. j. Leachman,
news dealers, Crush & Gilbert, brokers,
y. ]. Drisco, plumber, Madame Manas-
50, milliner, j. II. Carter harness maker,
all on the ground floor with the excep-
ton of the brokers who had offices on
the second floor. The Association of
Stationery Engineers and Stationery
I'iremen, as we'll as the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union and Plumbers Union,
which had headquarters on the second
floor, lost books and furniture. Nearly
all losers have partial insurance.

THE L-GTOR'S SAMPLE.
How His Wife Used 1t.

Tho wife of a physician of Causcy,
\. c., had an experience that shroWS
how valuable thing it is to have some
one handy who knows the way out of
coffee ills. Her husband, the physician,
knew that the way to satisfy the crav-
ing for coffee and cure the coffee
troubles, both at the same time, was to
prescribe Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
II was SO bad off from drinking coffee"
writes the wife, THAT everything 1 eat
hurt me.
MY stomach was so bad that I
would spit up my food as soon as l
would get done eating but l kept on
drinking coffee and getting worse off.
When / first got sick I weighed 176
pounds and finally got down to 119
pounds. My husband, who is a physi-
clan, sent for Il sample of Postum and
| commenced to drink it. | found that
when it is made right it is good and
improved so much on the sample that
got more from my grocer. I improved
so much that my brothers family all
quit coffee and went TO drinking
Postum with fine results. Everywhere
went my neighbors wanted to know
what had done to get my health and
flesh back and lots of them have quit
coffee and gone to using Postum.
Il am proud of the fact that I have
been the means of helping so many
poor coffee fiends back to health.
my husband always recommends it
in his practice when he finds his
patients are coffee drinkers. l was a
sick woman when l was drinking
coffee but now 1 am we'll and it is all
due to having quit coffee and steadily
used Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

CASSINI SAYS FAREWELL
To Pres. Roosevelt on Occasion of His
Visit to Russia.

Washington, June 12-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, had almost
ar hours talk with the President, this
afternoon. He called at the White
House at 3 O'Clock by appointment and
was received by the President in the
latters private office adjoining the
cabinet room. Ostensibly the purpose
of the ambassadors call was to take
his formal farewell of the President, as
he is leaving for Russia on the 23d,
in accordance with his annual custom
of spending his vacation at home. The
ambassadors CALL however, lasted ove.'
40 minutes and it is known that practi-
cally the whole time was consumed in
a review of the situation in Russia
growing out of the recent Jewish afro
cities at Kischneff, though no state
ment concerning the conference was
given out.
