For the first time in many trips the
S S. Coptic arrived at this port from
the coast on schedule. Ordinarily she
arrives ahead of time. On the present
trip down from the coast the vessel en-
countered the strong sOutherly weather
that prevailed here and in consequence
she was unable to make her accustom-
ed quick passage. Captain Kinder
timed her so as to arrive off port at
daybreak. The weather for the last
three days of her trip was the nastiest
that any of the officers remember hav-
ing experienced on that part of her
run.
She brought five days later mail and
newspaper files. The San Francisco
papers contain the account of the OPEN

he would by the Star yesterday. He
paid a fine of 5000 however in order to

A Wager of $25 Starts Joseph Downey
From Chicago.

A alf-jocular wager of 500 has start
ed Joseph DOwney of the board of edu-
cation on a trip halfway around the
world.
Downey and a few of his friends
We're sitting one day in the headquar-
tiers of the Builders club, just after
Charles w. Gindele, a contractor, had
returned from Europe. Mr.. Downey
remarked that he had trip to Hong
kong in mind and was inclined to take
1t few months. Mr.. Gindele said:
Joe, you haven't nerve enough to
travel from here to Blue Island and
back"
Mr. Downey then announced that he
would forfeit $40 to any one who would
cover his wager if he did not keep the
terms of his agreement to travel to
China and return by April Is. Mr.. Gin
dele at once drew out a $40 bill. Losing
no time, Mr.. Downey boarded a street
car for home, and commanded Mrs.
Downey forthwith to pack a steamer
trunk and prepare for the trip Some
what taken back by the suddenness of
the announcement Mrs. DoWney never
theless made the best of it and began
to pack. But MIR. Downey, with the
challenge and wager in his mind, grew
impatient and started for San Francis
co, where he said he would wait for his
wife. Mrs. Downey followed soon af-
terWard and yesterday they sailed

IT is DIFFERENT NOW.

Once upon a time students of
medicine held the notion that
there were Us many different
diseases as the body has organs
and parts; every one of these
ailments requiring different
treatment. So stupid a mistake
could lead only to miserable fail
ures. For the fact is, the body
is a single machine; and what
concerns one part of it concerns,
more or less closely, all the
rest. Thus we see how it hap
pens that one remedy, or mode
of treatment, may relieve and
cure a variety of complaints,--oT
what may appear like a variety
but are really variOus forms or
outcomings Of the same cause.
Take, for example, Anemia, Scro-
fula, Poverty Of Blood, General
Debility, influenza, Throat and
Lung Diseases, etc.-a formidable
array indeed they look to be: yet

cases, and absolutely cures many

MANY WANT To
Be INSPECTORS
NEARLY TWO HUNDRED APPLI-
CANTs BEFORE THE BOARD OF
HEALTH WOULD BE INSPECTORS

The positions of sanitary inspectors
under the Board of Health appear to be
very popular judging by the number
of applicants that have been received
for such positions. Applicants also
send letters to the Republican central
committee and an endorsement from
that committee is considered by the
board favorably.
There are at present about 175 appli-
cants registered for these positions, and
applicants are still coming forward.
This is the largest number of applica-
tons that have been on file since the
system was established of having in
spectors visit all districts in the city.

Newcastle To-day Small Fishing Community Has in the
Past Played an Important Part IN the Life
Of This Great Nation

tspecial correspopdence.l

II you say to some people that New
castle, N. H., Is a place Of historic as
ISOLATION, that once played an import
ant part in the life OF the nation, they
laugh at you because the place is so
small. That compact little fishing
community is ludicrously diminutive
with our present standard of national
expansion. but, doubtless, the very
quaintness and charm which con-
stantly attract visitors from the big
rushing world is q survival OF the
past, or better still, we like TO think
the little town has yet the simple and
wholesome life which made It once
a stronghold Of free government.
AS a military outpost the tiny town
of Newcastle has always played part
in both colonial and national inter
sests. Doubtless that is the source of
It's name, for not only is the island
grit about with rockbound shore and
buttressed into the sea as If built by
nature as a fortress, but it has nearly
always been surmounted by a walled
fertilization of some kind, which is a
part of its picturesque features.
There was early built IAN earthwOrk
with certain great guns" but a regu-
lar fertilization was erected there as
early as 1858. There was great stir
in Newcastle when, in December, 1874,
the Kings colors were hauled down
from this fort, and It is said that the
ammunition which supplied the con-
tinentals at Bunker Hill was stored
here.
The site has been alternately forti-
fed and neglected from the earliest
times up to the recent Spanish war,
when the fear of an attack from the
Spanish feet frightened all the sea
coast. At that time the ruins Of Fort
Constitution we're again rehabilitated
and the soldiers stationed there made
things lively for the quaint old town.

But only the season prior every one
had looked upon the place just as
melancholy ruin, and old residents
would tell the story of its ancient
building in the time of William and
Mary. The names of those soyereigns
were then associated with it, but the
vicissitudes of it's history have each
given it different title. During the
revolution 1t was called Hancock, and
when rebuilt in 1903 the name was
again changed to Constitution.
