TO Captain John d. Burk and the Peters

The offer Of your services In support Of

the moment arrives In which their rights

their wisdom will belong the course to be

is our duty to pursue that furnished by

In nothing does the average man

and consequently the temptation to en-
brace the odd and outer is strong. The
very fancy waistcoat is out Of it. 1t
has had its run, and now the inevita-
BILE decline has set in.
The waistcoats for autumn are more
conservative and in decidedly better
taste. The palmer the cut and the
simpler the treatment Of collar, lapel
and pockets the better the garment
squares with fashion and fitness. Col
lar and eollarless waistcoats both have
their devotees, though the tendency
seems to be TO dispense with the collar
whenever possible. Several new waist
coats intended for wear with the even
ing jacket have been introduced One
is made Of suede gray mercerized
fabric and Is cut single breasted. 1t
is patterned after the single breasted
evening waistcoat and fastens with
three mother Of pearl buttons there
being a mock button at the bottom.
Another new waistcoat for evening
jacket functions has d long roll collar,
a peaked lapel and closes with four
crystal buttons. This Is a French idea.
The mode allows good deal Of lati-
tude in waistcoats for day wear. but
evening waistcoats must be severely

THE SCHOONER BORE DOWN on THE OVER
TURNED CRAFT.
with the little strength that was left
in them to hold on to the slippery bot
tom.
As the schooner drew near the cap
tain saw a boat bottom up and the
bleached arms Of living persons cling
ing to it. He distinguished more
over, the dark hair Of woman float
ing over the seas as the waves ran
and fell along the bobbing keel.
Captain King realized that the ship
wrecked persons must be got aboard
at once. His own boats were on deck
and dashed down, and rather than
take any risk BY delaying to put a
boat overheard he decided to run along
close by. He had a life line ready and
at the right moment threw it toward
the wreck His hope was that all
would get hold Of the line and keep II
until he could pick them up one by
one.
Two men and the woman caught the
line and held on. They were dragged
aboard like SO many fish. Fear Of
death in the very hour Of deliyerance
impelled them to hold on with SO firm
a grip that even when they were safe
ly aboard they could hardly be per.
suaded to relinquish the line.
Captain King decided from the weak
and terribly emaciated condition Of
those whom he had rescued that it
would be too great risk to depend
upon the life line to save the other
five. The men would surely be drown
ed if they released their hold upon the
wreck. With celebrity the Fieldings
crew unlashed boat and put it over
board, and the captain in person took
the five men into it and carried them
aboard ship.
The rescued persons were In a very
4 serious condition. They had been with
| out food or water for four days and
nights. Their vessel, a small schoon-
er, had five days before the wreck was
sighted left the island Of Gonaives,
| Haiti, for the island of Miragoane,
carrying seventeen persons, including
the captain.
When a day out from Gonaives the
+ schooner struck d rock. a hole was
stove in her. and after she bad partly
filled she rolled over until her keel was
up. All Of the sehooners company
managed to cling to the wreck.
The first day there were hot, blind
ing sun and choppy sea. Hunger
and thirst were bad enough to contend
with, but added to these were the ter
rible pounding and scraping of their
bodies on the ships bottom as the
waves lifted and dropped them.
The miserable men began to give out
on the second day. One by one they
became exhausted and, losing Their
hold, slipped into the sea. Others be
came delirious and In their frenzy
I dropped off to drown.
The company had dwindled to ten
on the fourth day, and the next morn
( ing only eight survived. These were
about to give up the long and bitter
fight for life when one Of them sighted
q sail.
\ Long before the Fielding was within
hailing distance the wretched survivors
began to halloo, fearing she would al
ter her course. When at last their sig
nails of distress were heard and seer

but it is understood he has given tne
officers Information concerning the
gang and IS willing to turn states evI-

Two other men implicated and under
arrest are James Blaine, who lent some
clothing to one OF the men who held
up the lang. thus enabling the hold-up
TO disguise himself, and Jack Munro

the men after receiving them from

George Wells, the proprietor Of the
O. K. saloon, who is under arrest, was
formerly the proprietor of a cigar fac
tory here but went into the saloon
business about two years ago. He was
accused of harbOring criminals a few
weeks ago and the matter of revOk-
ing his license was brought before the
council but that body acquitted him
of the charge and allowed him to con-
tinue.
The case has been worked up jointly
by Special officer Sullivan of the South
ern Pacific. Sheriff Bailey and Chief
Browning. with the other city and
county officers. It is claimed that the
same gang of men have committed
other depredations. especially along the
line Of the railroad west of this city.

large but efforts to arrest them are
