He Was an Iris In IN an.

A fine specimen of the bull is to be
credited to Sir Thomas Myles, an
eminent Irish surgeon and an ex-
president Of the College of Sur geons
in Ireland. He made it in the course
of a speech delivered at the meeting
of the Solicitors Apprentices Debat-
ing society n Dublin. The subject
of the address was "Cecil Rhodes"
Sir Thomas paid high tribute to
the force of character, the spirit of
personal independence, and the in
domitable courage of Englishmen.
He pictured the British empire as
having been in danger at the time of
the late war, and asked with TN
phasis, "Was England to stand with
her arms folded and her hands IN her
pockets?" When he realized from
the attitude of his audience what he
had done, he observed that his only
apology was that he was an Irishman.

MOSQUITOES TOO MUCH.
Patience and Piety of Preacher Put
to the Test Sy Inquisitori-
al Insects.

Rev. ]. Campbell Morgan, the noted
English preacher, was obliged to sus-
pend the religious services he was con-
Quoting one evening in New York by
an invasion of mosquitoes from the Jer-
sey shore, relates New York exchange.
The incident recalls to regular attend
ants at the Ocean Grove meetings many
an occasion, in the days before the ex-
istence of the present well-constructed
tabernacle, when the land breeze used
TO bring mosquitoes down upon the
worshiping crowds as thick and as saw
age as the locusts of the Egyptian
plague.
They tell story Of the way the late
DR.. Daniel Curry, for many years ed
flor of the Christian Advocate, and a
man Of peculiarly sardonic humor at
his own expense, dealt with the situa-
ton, one Sunday night when the New
Jersey ''varmint" was doing land Of

text in the Book of Revelation and had

circled about him, the preachers Wig
orous and varied gesture serving to dou-
BILE purpose Of emphasizing his points
and keeping off the insects. By degrees
he approached the high levels of his ar
gument and entered upon an apostrophe
to st. John the revelator.
He had just closed an eloquent pas
sage with the sentence from the apoco-
lyptic vision: "And 1 heard the voice
Of harpers harping with their harps,"
when a big mosquito reached him and
nipped him near the nose. It was too
much. He paused, stood still and put
the insect out of misery with a resound-
ing whack. Then addressing the 1000
before him, with all solemnity, he said:
Men and brethren, if st. John had
been pestered with the singing Of a
hundred Jersey mosquitoes he could
never have heard the heavenly harps

ishment. Sidney agreed to obtain
bail for him, and for the other officers
of the shark On Monday bail
was fixed at $4,000 for Capt. Waters,
and at $4,000 each for the arrested
officers. Mr.. Hammond furnished
the necessary securities and was ac-
'cepted as bondsman. For a time Capt.
Waters refused to accept bail. He
preferred to stand punishment. Sid
ney argued with him for a long
time. He explained that it might be
months before a trial would be held.
Capt. Waters finally consented to ac-
cept bail. He went to a hotel near
the Jail, and reported regularly three
times a day at police headquarters.
No argument could convince him that
this was not the right thing to do.
Col John Mcintyre was the sole
passenger on the ''Helen Carmody'
when she steamed past the forts and
out into the Gulf of Mexico. In his
big leather pocketbook was check
bearing the signature of Andrus
Carmody. The amount was entirely
satisfactory to Col. Mcintyre.
The Homecoming of the marooned
fni1liona1res was an event never to
be forgotten by those who partici-
pated in or witnessed it. It began
at New Orleans. A special train from
New York, containing hundreds of
relatives and friends dashed into
she Crescent city early the following
morning, Those who have followed
Che events portrayed in these pages
can imagine the joy of the greeting
between the lost ones and those they
loved. Great crowds surrounded the
hotel, and would not be satisfied un-
til the principals appeared on the
the balcony. The mayor made a
speech and introduced each oasn in
turn. Sidney Hammond received an
ovation as he stepped forward; one
sleeve of his coat hung vacant at
his side. Nor was the greeting to
bernard Seymour less cordial. There
were repeated calls for Miss Car
modY, and when that young lady
appeared on the arm of her father,

CHAPTER XXIV.-CoNTINUED
Before Chalmers could say word,
Capt. Waters opened the door and
went away.
1t was as Capt. Waters said. Hes
tor was in a hospital. A bullet had
plowed it's way along the left side
of his head, barely missing the tenn
pie. The skull was slightly frac-
tured, and there had been a hem
-orrhage from the brain. When con-
scious, the patient was wildly de-
Irious. Chalmers left instructions
that everything should be done for
his comfort. The hospital physicians
gave little hope. Chalmers secured
the best medical talent in New Or"
leans and wired the facts to a famous
New York specialist. He then re-
Joined his companions at the hotel.
The afternoon papers contained ac-
counts of the tragedy, and related
the story of the surrender of Capt.
Waters. Before leaving for New
York, conference was held in Sid
ney Hammond's room. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that Capt. Wa
tiers had acted in good faith, and
that he was not deserving of pun
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1903-08-19

these required little or no attention.
Mr.. Chalmers had not made public
his suspicious concerning Hestor's
Wall street operations, neither had
any sta tement been made by Mr..
Morton or others. Sidney found
record of the various transactions in
safety deposit vault. He then
called on Street & Rogers and pre-
scented his credentials. Their books
showed that Walter B. Hestor had
credit of 100000. He had orig
inally purchased 100000 shares of
stock, and had issued instructions
which had been strictly carried out.
The money was due from various
banks, trust companies, commission
and brokerage houses. Street e
Rogers had decided not to force pay
lnents, fearing to disturb the money
market. Mr. Hammond indorsed this
course and instructed them to grad
ually convert the credits into inter-
est-bearing securities.
Thus it happened, one fine Septem-
Der afternoon, that the steam yacht
''Shark" sailed down the river from
New Orleans, destined for the wa
tiers of the South Pacific. On board
were Walter B. Hestor, Sidney Ham
mond, L. Sylvester Vincent and Ber-
nard Seymour. Mr.. Vincent and Mr..
Seymour were present at Mr.. Ham
mond's invitation, and Hestor was
delighted with his new acquaintance.
Vincent had a wonderful venture on
hand which demanded his presence
in southern waters, and Mr.. Seymour
proposed to gather the materials for
book, which, he asserted, would
make them all sit up nights" And
on the deck of the "Shark," with
Capt. Waters once more in command,
this narrative will leave them.
The later events in the lives Of
these characters must be relegated
to some future chapters. 1t may
be said In closing that the doors of
the Carmody mansion were not
closed to Mr.. William Chalmers, man
aging edito- of the New York Rec
ord.
