Seven Men Escaped.

Vancouver, B. c., May 9.-The seal
ing schooners Triumph and Umbrina,
of this port, have been given up as lost
at sea with all hands. Capt. Ham, of
the sealing schooner Jessie, which has
just arrived from a cruise along the
coast from California to Queen Char
lotte islands, picked up south Of the
Columbia river broken sealing boats
and canoes, part of a schooner's rail,
davit and other tackle belonging to
the schooner Umbrina. When last
spoken the sealer was headed for the
west coast of Vancouver island to
land her men, who was very i'll. Since
then she has not been heard of and is
long over due. The Umbrina was
owned by Capt. Peppet, now in East
ern Canada. She carried a half white,
half Indian crew, 20 all told, and was
one of the largest of the fleet in
Queen Charlotte sound. Capt. Mann
found schooner's boom with sail at
tached and from indications known to
him he believes it belonged to the Tri-
umph, also long overdue, and not
amongst the fleet now bound for the
Siberian coast. The Triumph carried
a white crew of 10 and was the oldest
and largest of the Victoria sealers.
The owners have abandoned hope.

property possible and took to their
boats, went to village on a nearby
island, whence they obtained passage
on a small sailing craft for Nassau.
The McArdle was bound from Phila-
delphia for Havana, with a cargo OF
petroleum.

THRO' KENTUCKY.

Thro' the grand state of Kentucky,

Where the fields are overlooking
With the yellow ripening grain.
Here tobacco plants are growing,
In the fields not sown with corn,
Tobacco plants-big as cactus
Just as sure as you are born.
Yes, they're large as good-sized cactus
Larger in our home-like view,
But it's of fine a grade as
Is that old Kentucky Dew"
Here all people reap a harvest,
Money in bank from year to year,
All the green calamity howlers,
Lose their jobs when they land here.
Here the ''dry'' ways are the highways,
Built high and dry from rains and food.
Here the 'good roads delegation"
Swear the roads are suit My good.
But of pixies and highways finest,
There's "road" that suits my tasteJ
TiS the line of Solid Comfort,
And the trains let no time waste.
From Kentucky to St. Louis,
Operates this road of class,
Across the famous old screen River
On its roadbed smooth as glass.
Would you know the road I speak of
Listen then to my advice,
For you'll need it in your business,
On your trip to Paradise.
In your travels to St. Louis
Hustle; beat them under the wire,

'Tis good one to acquire.

Oliver T. Sherwood, the bank cashier who defaulted last June, debenture bonds of the New York, New Have1 and Hartford railroad company with instructions to secure stock for them under the agreement made by the rail. road company. Sherwood, they allege, converted the debentures into cash and placed the cash on deposit in the National Park bank of New York, to the Southport National banks credit; subsequently, he defaulted. The plain tiffs hold that Sherwood was acting as the banks agent in the transaction, and that the bank is responsible. If the plaintiffs recover, an additional assessment on the stockholders of the bank is inevitable.

A FAMOUS LAUNDRY.

=
 The Gilbert laundry wagon makes it's rounds regularly, regardless of the weather, collecting the clothes, Mon days, and returning them pure and clean, Saturdays. Few know of the extent of this laundry, situated at the Purchase, ar. outlying district of South Britain. A few words may prove in- teresting to it's many patrons. It is located among the hills by clear mountain stream from which the water is obtained for the washing, also for boiler feed. The boiler is located in the basement, removing all smoke and dust from the laundry proper. Over the building is erected a large tank which is kept full from the stream by means of steam pump and heated by steam. This tank feeds two large rotary washers which rotate back and forth automatically. where the clothes are washed in eight waters. No chem icals are used, nothing but pure soap. The washers contain no internal machinery to wear or tear the clothes. The cleaning process is done by the action of the water in the rotating washer. It is, on the whole treat to see the different pieces of machinery doing their work, the extractor with it's musical hum; the mangle doing it's work to nicety; the bosom ironer, the surface ironer, the drying room, the never-tiring, fast working engine performing it's work hour after hour, furnishing power for this busy indus try.
