The steamer Minnie NJ, which was ex-

the Consolidated Lake Superior COM
pany, did not reach here, owing to the
severe storm on Lake Superior.
A story is in circulation that the
Consolidated Lake Superior company
Is not in as serious financial condi-
ton as has been given out. The peo-
pie doubt seriously the necessity for
closing down the plants and even ar
que that this was done simply for the
purpose of whipping into line so-called

argue that it is absurd to say the COM
pany is unable to buy provisions for
its horses and men. even II the assets
OF the concern are tied up.
Perhaps one of the most pronounced
converts to this belief is Mayor w. II.
Plumber, who said that he considered
the stories given out by officials OF the
company of its state of restitution

THE swINDLER IN JOURNALISM
Devious Career of Correspondent ed
gar G. BeIlairs."
Chicago Evening Post.


Chicago Evening Post.
Every now and then we are impressed
with the verify of the saying, Truth is
stranger than fiction" and one of the most
recent instances of this concerns the pc
culiar career of Edgar G. Bellairs.'
Such characters are popularity supposed
to be the creations of romancers, and yet
when we happen upon them in real life
how they dim the most nimble fancies OF
the novelists Here. was a man the greater
part of whose life merited a place in In
spector Byrnes's professional Criminals
of America" and yet for years, during the
instruction in the Philippines, he was in
a position where he could almost at will
write history for the American people.
Sixteen months after this finished
a sentence in Florida prison for, forgery
he managed to secure the berth OF war
correspondent for the Associated Press.
He accompanied General Wood in Cuba;
later he went with Chaffee to China, and
for two years after his service there he
was the correspondent for the Associated
Press at Manila, sending out fully nine
tenths of all the news which the news
papers in the United States were permitted
to get from the Philippines.
Thus, TO use the words of the New York
Evening Post, such glimpses of the occur
rences in the Philippines as the average
American had during Bellairs's' stay In
Manila were through the eyes OF this con-
fidence man, swindler, gambler, forger and
convict"
1t would be impossible to estimate how
much of the news that came through this
mans hand was honest, how much was
colored to suit his own interests or those
of persons who may not have been above
using him. We do not go the length that
at least two New York papers do in stat
ing bluntly that he was General Woods
press agent" that he was largely instru-
mental in the recall of General Brooks
from Cuba, and that The has made and un-
made generals and colonial governors by
his command over the avenues of COM
munication to the American press"
But we can see how easily possible 1t
Charles Ballentine-was ANONYMOUSLY dis
missed from the service of the Associated
Press, to garble and color news from the
Philippines and thus deceive and mislead
the American people.
While General Wood knew nothing OF
the part that Bellairs was playing, the cor
respondent certainly was doing all he could
TO place the general In favorable light
and to disparage those who might be in
the way of his advancement. For Bellairs
in his book recently published-and now
withdrawn by the publishers-begins with
an attack on Governor Taft and follows
with a eulogy of General Wood as an adj
ministrator
Fortunately for the American people, this
smooth schemer has been fully exposed.
He not only deceived the Associated Press,
but the publishers of his book, and we can
not say how much he had deceived all the
people In this country. And we can only
express the hope that never again will the
people be dependent for their news on a
man with criminal record

tanned a provision that the vagrant must
be whipped publicly IL nobody appeared to
buy him, but this section was repealed.
The number of lashes by the public whip
per was limited to twenty-five.
Out of the proceeds of a Migrants sale
are paid the fees and expenses OF the prose-
cution, and whatever money is left has TO
be applied to the payment OF debts OF the
once free citizen. Should there be sec
ond remainder, it is given to the wife and
children, IL the criminal has any; but IL
he be wifeless and childless the money is
kept for him until the end of his term OF
service If a married vagrant, after hav
ing been convicted, can scrape together
500 for bond, with good surety, he is al
lowed to go home, where he gives a promise
TO reform and adhere TO hard work Should
he fail later to keep this promise his bond
is forfeited.
Several OF the lower courts have declared
the statute of 1875 TO be illegal, but the
highest courts have not had a chance to
pass on the matter. The cases involving
Migrants have never been appealed to the
high courts, for the obvious reason that
Migrants are not class Of people with
money enough for extensive litigation.

SAILING ON FRIDAY.
Superstition Regarding 1t Still Strong
Among Sailor Men.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
Among the ancient superstitions of Jack
the sailorman, there is one that sticks like
the odor Of pitch to a spliced hawser
still reluctant to go down on Friday. Many
superstitions have been attributed to sail
ors; some of them are myths. but this one
about sailing on Friday is q reality, the
captains OF all sea-going vessels entering
New York harbor know.
Why they consider 1t III luck to sail on
Friday the men before the mast cannot
explain, but they have stored in their fore
castle tales many lurid narratives of the
experiences of the ships that started on
voyage on Friday. If 1t is around the Horn
severest gales are sure to be met with, and
1t is two to one that the rocks of Magellan
will send her TO the bottom; If il is to
Liverpool or Lisbon the trades are sure to
fail or there will be a man overheard be-
fore the Bahamas lie astern.
tible to this superstition, Spanish and
Portuguese sailors especially. Their fears
are shared by the French and Italians
Germans, English and Norwegians are in
clined that way little, but Uncle Sans
jolly tars have very little fear of God and
none of the devil That is why thew are
the best sailors and fighting men in the
world.
"Give us a blow" said an American she'll
back in South street, land we don't give
continental d whether its is Friday or
Monday"
When the Latins discover their captain
preparing to weigh anchor in the stream on
Friday they lag back in their work in the
rigging or In getting provisions on board
and usually manage to delay sailing until
the last day of the week.
The large ocean steamship companies
make no distinction on account of Friday
and the crews of the transatlantic liners
take little interest in 1t.
