Y The old age pension system of New Zealand doesn't seem to be an unmixed good. Thousands of old persons whose friends are entirely able to care for them and who ought to do it, strive to put that duty on the government and allow their old fathers, mothers and other relatives to be supported by char :. ity when there is really no need of 1t. An investigation of the cases included in the pensions allowed shows that full " one third of them all were of that character and nearly all of these were sealed down in a encouragement of the lists.

MYSTERY At SEA.

San Francisco. March 13.-Great
mystery attaches to the disappearance
and identity of a steamer which is re-
ported to have sent up signs of dis
tress off Point Reyes last night, and
which suddenly disappeared, as if swal-
lowed by the sea. Just before her
disappearance the observers say the
steam siren on the distressed vessel
sounded three long blasts, and lanterns
were swung on the port side in a
frantic manner. indicating that great
excitement must have prevailed on
board the vessel. TO the watchers at
the Point Reyes lighthouse it, looked
II those on board We're preparing to dis
embark. Captain Jorgensen, OF the
light house, ordered his crew to get
life boat ready. and with his men
launched the boat and spent several
hours cruising in the vicinity Of the
spot where the steamer is supposed to
have gone down, but nothing to indi
cate wreck was found. The steamer
Columbia, from Portland, Oregon, ar
rived today. Her commander saw no
wreckage or other indications that
vessel had gone to the bottom. The
steamer Corona, from Eureka, Cal.
signalled that she had passed thru i'm

southeast Of Point Arena. The con-

an extraordinary proceeding. 1t is
the first time in more than fifty years
that such thing has been done. The
last time was in 1881, when Mrs Cross

Victoria. She was compelled to leave

Tuesday evening. and whose name is
connected with the Burdick murder,
wrote letter to his cousin, Carroll f..
Pencil OF this city, on March 6, in
which he declared his complete inno-
cence, and made serious charges
against Burdick, saying. that the latter
had drawn him into the divorce case
thru spite. He said:
Il was dragged into the case thru
divorce proceedings in which 1 have
been made defendant. The facts about
that proceeding are these: There was
no truth in the charges and they We're
denied under oath by the defendant and
myself. The man had been living in
strained relations with her for some
time.
My wife and myself had taken her
side and she had consulted me for
legal advice and protection during the
time that this man was in intimate
relations with other women, and he
was anxious to get rid OF his wife.
of these relations and was about to
sue him for divorce. he anticipated
her action by bringing an action
against her, and out of yindictiveness
and desire to injure me as much as
he could made me defendant without
any justification at all.
His charge would have been COM
pletely disproved in a short time and
the case settled but just then he was
killed at his house by an unknown
woman. whom he had asked there late
ct night. 1t created a great sensation
