FIRED ON BY CANADA
Captain Of Latter Claims He Was After
Nets Which Had Drift
cd Away.

A dispatch from Erie, Pa, yesterday
says: The Silver Spray. q fishing boat
owned here, came into port this afternoon
in badly shattered condition, due to an
encounter in midlake about noon with the
Canadian revenue cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities for years have
had trouble with American fishermen
poaching on their side of the lake, and the
Petrol Is kept constantly on the lookout for
them. About noon she came upon the Sill
yer Spray on the Canadian side of the lake.
and at once ordered Capt. Chris Chau to
stop. The Petrol Is strong steel craft,
and 1t is said attempted to ram the Ameri-
can boat before she could comply with the
formers orders. Capt. Chau, remembering
the fate of several other boats from this
side. which had been captured and con-
fiscated. two from Erie only last season, de-
cided to try to escape, and started ahead at
full speed.
The captain of the Petrol, when he saw
that the Silver Spray was trying to get
away. opened fire with all the guns he
had on board, and before he ceased firing
some twenty shots had struck her One
passed through the smokestack into the
pilothouse, in which Chau stood at the
wheel, and two more struck the pilothouse.
one OF which came within few inches of
Chau. scattering a myriad of splinters
around his head
The fact that no one was killed is simply
miraculous, as two shots entered the wa
ter closet, two the cabin, two the roof,
three the after hurricane deck, and the
others in various parts of the boat.
The chase was kept up for some little
time and Capt. Chau was nearly in despair,
as his cold water pump refused to work
and he was also afraid that his boat might
be struck below the waterline and sunk.
He was very lucky. however. to get across
the dividing line. after which the Petrol
gave UP the pursuit.
The Silver Spray is a double-decker. and
was for twelve years in service at Buffalo
as a pleasure steamer.
Capt. Chau will report the affair to the
State Department at Washington sas he
says he was only looking for some of his
nets, which had drtfted from this side to-
ward the Canadian shore.
A large number of American fishing tugs
have been confscated by the Canadian gov
ernment. One, however, belonging at Dun
kirk. was a few weeks ago requested re-
turned by Secretary of State Hay.
The only man injured on the Silver Spray
was Frederick Culver. who was hit in the
leg by a shot. He is now in the hospital
The fishermen say the Petrol used her small
deck cannon.

An Apache Queen:

In the slant of the evening sunshine a
young girl, an Indian. was crouching among
the bare rocks at the edge of a steep and
rugged descent. One tawny little hand,
shapely in spite of scratches, was uplifted
to her brows. shading her keen and restless
eyes against the glare. In the other hand.

was something un-Indian about the cut and

A veny Useful contrivance.

What is known as Concentration or
stupe is only a modified poultice.
Like the latter. its chief use is for the
purpose Of securing warmth and mois-
ture. 1t is much simpler and cleaner,
however. and easier of application.
The simplest form Of fermentation is
the employment of flannel wrung from
hot water. To insure against burning
ones hands a stupe wringer will be
appreciated by the nurse. It is easily
made by taking a piece of coarse crash
about twenty inches long and stitching
a wide hem in each end, through each
hem running stout stick. upon which
gather the material the same as on a
drawing string. Lay this wringer in
the basin containing the hot water.
In the Wringer lay a large piece of
folded flannel. By twisting the sticks
in opposite directions the flannel may
be wrung tightly and with no danger
of burning the hands. As lamentations
cool much more rapidly than the regu-
lation poultice say in about fifteen
minutes-the hot one must be ever
ready to replace the preceding one.

Echoes OF the Modes.

The champagne and silver gray

Petticoats, dresses and tea gowns all

plating.
White pongee gowns are feature in

Very popular are the heavy laces.
such as cluny, torchon and Irish GRO

Again there is much talk of the
vogue OF lace mitts.
Pongee makes a serviceable and styI-
ish peticoat.
Buttons are up TO date garniture on

London May 22.-Lord Rosebery ex-
pressed surprise that his speech at

with Colonial Secretary Chamberlain s
tariff speech delivered at Birmingham
May Is. had been interpreted in any
way as supporting Mr.. ChamberIain's
proposal OF an established reciprocity
between Great Britain and her colonies
and explains that he purposely treated
the subject uncontroversially because
he was addressing a non-political au-
dience. Lord Rosebery adheres abso-
lutely to his opinion that the Liberal
party is indissolubly bound to free
trade.

Three individuals are crossing the

thority notes many differences in de-
tail. There were also variations in the
design of the borders. but slight only.
There were always four scroll orna-

saying:
Poor brethren, we must kill you. 1t

Monstrous things were done until
robbers began to participate and then
they, with the Christian zealots. be-
came intoxicated. The state of terror
of the Jews at Kishinef, the letter
adds, continues. A fresh massacre is
expected there and the Jews of Odessa
and of all the large towns of Bessa-
rabia are living in hourly dread of
death. The whole province seems to
be in a state of fanatical fury against
the Jews.
The writer Of the letter then says:
The excitement is intensified through
proclamations distributed in the streets
Semetic newspapers. The Russians say
to their educated and tolerant coun-
trymen, who urge keeping peace: lit

The Secret Of the Success of Js9GSES
WhitcOmb Riley.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
| Chicago, May 19.-Few writer's and
particularly writers of verse have come
| to eminence and estate from more I'M
propitious environments. than James
Whitcomb Riley. There was little in
his boyhood surroundings to suggest
poetic fancy and nothing in his early
training to develop poetic genius. The
atmosphere of his life until he became
recognized as real poet was not par
ticularly conducive to the encourage
ment Of the muses.. Yet in his sphere
he has attained a large measure of
fame and a substantial fortune.
The secret of his success is interest
ingly told in an interview with Mr..
Riley by NJ. c. Chomel published in
the Lamp.
Young writer's want to achieve sue
cess all at once" said Mr.. Riley. They
are not willing to spend years and
years at work, and the hardest kind of
work at that. There must be unceas-
ing toll and an eternal striving after
success. Good writing is always hard
work. just as everything excellent is
hard work"
do you not find it. easier work now
to write a poem than it was when you
first began?"
''It is just as difficult for me to write
today as it was in the old days when
was experimenting before country au-
diences trying to make money and at
the same time striving to learn what
the people wanted. and it was many,
many weary years before l began to
