SAVED FROM THE SEA.


Providence, r.. l., Sept. 12.-One Of the
most grewsome sea tragedies was told
Friday when the schooner w. 8. Fielding
reached this port from West Indian wa
ters. Nearing Port au Prince on the
outward voyage the Fielding ran near
dark object bobbing over the seas.
1t was found to be an overturned boat
with seven men and one woman cling
Ing to It. striving with the little strength
they had left to hold on to the slippery
bottom. How they managed to do so is
q miracle.
The coasting schooner to which they
belonged had struck rock and partly
filled. Then II suddenly had turned
turtle" The crew of seventeen persons
had all managed to get upon the bottom
Of the overturned craft. Then ensued
four days Of starvation and thirst, dur
ing which nine Of the seventeen died,
and then the fifth day came the resuce
Of the eight survivors.
The vessel was a small schooner and
had Ave days before the wreck was
sighted left the island Of Gonaive, Hayti,
for the island OF Mirigoane, carrying II
persons. including the captain. II
was loaded with fruits and provisions.
When a day out from Gonaive the
schooner struck rock. All the schoner's
company managed to cling to the wreck.
So quickly had the boat turned turtle
that not mouthful of food or drop Of
drinking water could be saved. The
first day there was hot and binding
sun and a choppy sea. Their hunger and
thirst were bad enough, but added to
these was the terrible pounding and
scraping Of thier bodies on the ships bot
tom as the waves lifted and dropped
them. Their legs and then their bodies
were beaten, scraped and cut until the
blood flowed freely. The men began to
give out the second day. One by one they
became exhausted and. losing their hold,
slipped into the sea. Others became de-
lirious and, in their frenzy, dropped on
to drown. The company dwindled to ten
the fourth day. and the next morning
only eight survived. These were about
to give up their long and bitter fight for
life. when one Of them sighted the
Fielding. The survivors were taken to
Port au Prince.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
Reviews Labor Parade and Talks
10 Immense Audience mt syra-
0use. NY

Syracuse. N. Y, Sept. S.-President
Roosevelt on Monday was accorded q
magnificent reception by the citizens
OF his own state. From the moment of
his arrival in this city at $3.50 q. m.
until he stepped aboard his special
train at 1880 to begin his return trip
TO Oyster Bay he was given q continual
ovation. Syracuse never before held
such throng as assembled here to
greet the president. Fully 1000 per-
sons from all sections of New York
state tested the carrying capacity OF
the various lines of railroad, and many
additional thousands came from the
country contiguous to the city. Every
where In the city. and at the grounds
OF the New York State Fair associa-
ton. the president was received with
notable enthusiasm.
In his address at the fair grounds
President Roosevelt gave as the prime
requisite for q prosperous and perma-
nent national life. q community of in
terest, with caste forgotten and per-
sonal worth the sole basis of class dis
tinction. with capitalist and wage
worker helping themselves by aiding
each other and both content to abide by
the laws. AS Labor day creed, Its ac-
ceptance was urged by a warning
against a tendency toward despotism,
the envy Of demagogues and their bent
toward mob violence being classed as a
danger to the laborer far more malign
than the arrogance Of the afiiuent.
I'VE must act upon the motto of all for
each and each for ALL" was the keynote
Of the address, which denounced In
laundering phrases the leaders who in
cite class antagonism, whether the la
Dor agitator who shouts for plumber or
the INSCRIPTIONS man Of wealth who
seeks to subvert the laws In order to op-
press.
The prosperity of the farmer and the
wage-worker Is the index of the nation's
welfare. argued the president, and the
interests Of every business, trade and pro-
fession are SO identical that they tend
to go up or down together" To maintain
a healthy government individuals in
stead Of classes must be considered, and
the permanency Of the nation depends
upon the development of spirit that will
conserve the rights Of others as we'll as
defend ones own.
To unite the contending classes, the
president urged that the wage-worker
should display sanity and desire to do
justice to others and that the capitalist
should welcome and aid all legislative
efforts to settle present difficulties.
Breadwinners and homemakers, faith
ers and mothers of families. were given
their tribute. the president declaring that
there is a place for each among the hon.
ored benefactors of the nation.

PAINE'S CELERY

Does Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is well known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any Of
the other diseases that afflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonzing tortures had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven she al.
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says:-
"For thirty years have been great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began

So Mary had made her trip tc
Grouche's, but it was labor worse thar
lost. Grouche had told her nothing
she wanted to know, though much that
he supposed she would like to learn
He had told her that she had many
lovers, a fact which her face and form
would make easy enough to discover.
He informed her also that she had a
lowborn lover, and in order to put n
little evil In with the good fortune and
give what he said an air of truth he
added to Mary's state of unrest more
than he thought by telling her that her
lowborn lover was false. He thought
to fiatter her by predicting that she
would soon marry a very great prince
or nobleman, the indications being in
favor Of the former, and In place Of
this making her happy she wished the
wretched soothsayer in the bottomless
pit-he and all his prophecies; herself,
too, FOR going to him. His guesses
were pretty shrewdAthat IL, ADMITTING
ne did not know who Mary was, which
she at least supposed was the case: 20

and now they walked rapidly In that
direction. Brandon continued to fol
low them, Notwithstanding what Mary
had said, and she thanked him and her
God ever after that he did.
They had been walking not more
than i've minutes when, just as the
girls turned a corner into q secluded
little street. winding its way among
the fish warehouses, four horsemer
passed Brandon in evident pursuit OF
them. Brandon hurried forward, but
before he reached the corner heard
screams Of fright and az he turned In
to the street distinctly saw that two OF
the men had dismounted and were try
ing to overtake the fleeing girls. Fright
lent wings to their feet, and, their short
skirts affording freedom to their limbs,
they were giving the pursuers warm
little race. screaming at every step to
che full limit Of their voices. How
they did run and scream! 1t was but
moment till Brandon came up with the
pursuers. who, all unconscious that
they In turn were pursued, did not ex-
pect an attack from the rear. The
men remaining on horseback shouted
an alarm to their comrades, but SO In
tent were the latter in their pursuit
that they did not hear. One of the men
on foot fell dead, pierced through the
back Of the neck by Brandon's sword,
before either was aware Of his pres
ence. The other turned, but was
corpse before he could cry out. The
girls had stopped short distance
ahead, exhausted by their fight. Mary
had stumbled and fallen, but had risen
again, and both were now leaning
against wall, clinging to each other,
q picture Of AFFECT terror. Brandon
ran to the girls, but by the time he
reached them the two men on horse
back were there also, hacking away at
him from their saddles. Brandon did
his best to save himself from being cut
to pieces aud the girls from being tram
pied snder foot by the prancing horses.

men, however. stuck to their horses
and one of them pressed the attack,
striking at Brandon most viciously. II
being dark and the distance deceptive,
the horseman's sword at last struck the
wall, a fash Of sparks flying in its
trail, and lucky it was or this story
would have ended here. Thereupon
Brandon thrust his sword into the
horses throat, causing it to rear back
ward, plunging and lunging into the
street, where it fell, holding its rider
by the leg against the cobblestones of
little gutter.
A cry from the fallen horseman
brought his companion to his side and
gave Brandon an opportunity to escape
with the girls. OF this he took ad.
vantage. you may be sure. for one of
his notices was that the greatest fool
in the world is he who does not early
in life learn how and when to run.
In the liz t Of the sparks from the
sword stroke upon the wall, brief as
it was, Brandon recognized the face
of Buckingham, from which the mask
had fallen. OF this he did not speak
to any one till long afterward, and his
silence was almost his undoing.
How often word spoken or unspo.

princess and help Jane until he thought
they were out Of danger. Jane soon
recovered, but Mary did not seem anx. |

upon Brandon's shoulder, apparently
contented enough.
In few minutes Jane said: IF you
can walk now, my lady, 1 think you

and placed her hand upon his cheek

first time that he was wounded. and
the tears came softly as she slipped
from his arms to the ground. She
walked beside him quietly for a little
time. then, taking his hand in both of
hers, ge7tly lifted it to her lips and
