Portland Lawyer Tried to Hold
the Schooner Manila, but Failed
in the Attempt.
VESSEL WENT EARLY TO SEA
Portland Medical Concern Had
Claim Against Captain Rose,
But Warrant Was Not
Served Upon Him.

The four-masted schooner Manlls
sailed early Sunday morning for sar
Pedro. and thereby hangs tale. Satur-
day night Sheriff Linville received a
telephone message from Portland to
the effect that warrant for the ar.
rest of Captain Louis NJ. Rose had been
issued there. and that the sheriff would
be requested to serve II. The vessel
was expected down the river Saturday
night but she did not get down until
Sunday morning. She proceeded at
once to the mouth OF the river, where
she was lying at anchor when Deputy
Sheriff Binder. accompanied by the
lawyer representing the Portland par.
ties, sought to make service.
Captain Roses wife had been at a
Portland sanitarium for treatment. and
the medical institution had claim
against him for s249,2O. The warrant
issued for the arrest OF the master
charged him with being an abscondlng
debtor, Just why the warrant was not
served at Portland is mystery which
has not been explained, and 1t is tho
opinion Of the local authorities that the
efforts of the claimants were directed
toward detention OF the schooner.
Deputy Sheriff Binder informed the
lawyer that he would be able to serve
the warrant IL launch were chartered
to take him to the lower harbor, but
the attorney was not anxious to incur
the expense, so the schooner sailed
away. Mrs. Rose is aboard the vessel
and will make the trip to San Pedro
The lawyer said he would seek to col
lect the amount upon the return of
Captain Rose at some future date.

According to Dr. Driver the Mormons
sought an investigation by the senate,
their object being to gain publicity
that would bring their doctrines before
the people.
"The wiles OF the Mormons are
many and far-reaching," said DR..
Driver. The Smoot case was only a
ruse. President Smith was not a re-
luctant witness. His testimony was
along carefully considered and prede-

San Francisco, May 2S.-ormode, the
world famous horse, is dead. He was
killed at the MEMO park stock farm Of
w. OBJ. Macdonough to relieve great
suffering from paralysis.
ormode, who was foaled in 1888, was
the son Of Ben D'or-Lily Agnes, bred
and owned by the duke Of Westminster
and won every race that he started in
and earned for his owner In stakes the
sum Of s142,S25. He also had the dis
tlnctlon of winning all three of the
great events of the British turf--the

SINGING ON THE WATERFRONT.
Longshoremen's Pastims Constitutes
Offense of Disorderly Conduct.


offense Of Disorderly Conduct.
Among the unfortunates who graced
the dock in the police court yesterday
afternoon were four longshoremen. One
had only recently come over from War
renton, while the others are recent ar
rivals in the city. They were arrested
Saturday night for singing and were
found in an old building on Seventh
street just north of Astor.
1t seems that some of the waterfront
habitues take this means Of enjoying
themselves about once a week. Satur-
day afternoon they receive their pay,
settle their bills, and with the slender
sum remaining rush the growler" and
sing the songs Of the rolling sea. AS
to whether or not 1t is possible to dis
turb the peace and quiet Of the city
at location on Seventh street north
of Astor there is grave question, even
among the city authorities. The near
by residents are not particularly deli
cate of health, and 1t can be further
said of them that they do not retire
early. But when Ae police heard the
songs of the celebrants they swooped
down upon them and forthwith
marched the quartet to the municipal
detention place.
The hapless fellows were kept in jail
until yesterday afternon, when they
we're brought before Judge Anderson.
They were indignant at having been
arrested, and were not willing to enter
pleas of guilty to charges of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct unless con-
vinced that singing was a crime. The
ordinance governing the matter is ex-
plicit in stating that boisterous sing

There is a curious story, with dra-
matte sidelights, going the rounds
about Lady Curzon, the American
vicerine of India.
IT is told by retired Indian judge
and is a leaf from his own experience
He was dining at the viceregal lodge
one night when the conversation
turned upon a sensational murder trial
that he was conducting at the time.
After dinner Lady Curzon drew the
judge aside and said:
Il do not want to interfere with your
judicial duties, but | know as an abb
solute fact that the man who is
charged with that murder is innocent
IF you will send a detective to me
tomorrow morning will direct him to
the house where the real murderer is
now hiding. | only discovered the fact
his afternoon, when | was down there
in disguise with one Of our syces."
Sure enough, the murderer was
caught, as Lady CurZon had said, and
the innocent man was released.
Lady Curzon would not tell how she
found out the murderer.-Philadel

The joke of it. is that it will be Lord

book, hoping as he'll go ahead and
scoop the trick What do my other
two honorable colleagues say?"
We say ditto too" | answered,
speaking for myself and for the 81
lent councillor" TO use the name by
which | had dubbed the remaining
member But if Mr. lubbock and
The chief will pardon me for saying
so, there's a difficulty ahead which it
won't do to overlook"
whats that" asked Number Two.
This. Isn't it very likely after
lubbock has changed the gongs, that
some member of the executive of the
lshmael will want to test the mechan-
ism, if only to see that it is in work
ing order? In that case the explosive
would be bit previous. We have no
quarrel, | take it, with the members
Of the lshmael club as Ishmaelites.
In fact, I'm not sure that the mem
bcrS Of this council are not exception
ally qualified for membership of a
club sO-called, and, indeed, il occurred
to me while the chief was speaking,
that the Ishmael club would be a very
suitable name for the particular fra
ternity of which we who are present
in this room have the honor of being
members"
You are quite right, my friend"
said Number Two. with a laugh.
lubbock and | both recognized that
that would be ticklish point But
Hubbock'S idea is not to change the
gongs until the last moment, when
the table is laid and ready for the
dinner. The Ishmael is a very free
and easy place, and lubbock is so
well known there that he anticipates
no difficulty in finding some excuse to
effect the change. | think we may be
content to leave it in his hands, since
he is willing to undertake all respon-
sibility"
No one demurring to this, Number
Two announced that the next meeting
of the council would be held in the
same place, and at four o'clock in the
afternoon of the day following the pro-
posed outrage at the Ishmael club.
Il hope on that OCCASION" he said,
genially, that we shall be in a posi-
ton to offer Councillor lubbock our
heartfelt congratulations at having
succeeded in blowing his royal high
ness, the prince of Wales, ana the
Right Honorable Lord Cranthorpe, NJ

ROMANCE OF A RED EAR.

Many a country lass would fain
Have been chosen by Farmer VIII.
Who was young and handsome, tall and
strong,
And owned the farm on the hill.
But ne set his heart upon dainty Ruth,
Whose father, millionaire,
Had sent her down from her city home
To live in the country air.
Will was too proud and shy to think
She would care for such as he,
Until autumn came and she went with
him
To the Rockwoods s husking-bee.
Th" great barn floor was heaped with
corn
And lighted by lanterns bright.
And the merry huskers at their work
Formed a novel and pretty sight;
But Ruth looked up at her escort tall,
And puckercd her pretty brow:
al never did such thing in my life,
Suppose YOU show me how"
So side by side they bent to their task,
And il chanced there was no one near,
When suddenly Ruth stripped the husks
From a perfect deep red ear.
VIII told her then of the custom old.
When a girl found an ear like this,
She had a perfect right to claim,
From any lad there, a kiss.
With a smile of mischief back she
stepped,
In the shadow of the NOW:
81 never did such thing in my life,
Suppose you show me how
You can guess the rest, | will only say
They were wed ere another fan,
And the red ear tied with ribbon gay
Still hangs on their parlor wall.

ties became aware th"t something
out of the ordnary-lut what they
did not know-was happening. There
was a flutter of repressed excitement.
Then some one called out Hush and
the silence became electric. What was
that sprinkling of bird-song music that
percolated the smoke-hung atmos-
phere as if fairy hands were fiinging
the largest of tiny wafer-like silver
coins for all to gather? "Hush!" some
one said impatiently again. Expecta-
ton stood on tiptoe, as every ear was
strained and every face became alert
and eypectant
Note by note the thin thread of mu-
sic r'ppled out. 1t was recognized
and ii tremendous cheer set rafting

man rose and with wave of his hand
above his head took up the strain
In another second every man was on
his feet, and God Bless the Prince of

been sung before.

Those minstrel strains of yore,
Till Britain'S name and glory
Resound from shore to shore.
From all our ancient mountains,
And from our lovely wales,
O! let the prayer re-echo-

The secretarys little unrehearsed
effect was huge success. Perhaps the
princes illness had left him somewhat
weak and shaly, for as the hymn con-
cluGed with the most deafening Three
times three" and yet again Three
times three" that ever left human
ears buZZing and human hearts thump-
ing, the kindly eyes Of that right royal
prince of good fellows were suspicious
ly bright, and when in a few manly
words he thanked his brother Ish-
maelites" for the greeting that had
been accorded to him, there was just
the ghost of a tremble in the voice
that is generally SO firm and strong.
