the vessel broke the silence Of the
night.
When once out into the river the
pilot gradually turned the nose Of the
craft in southwesterly direction.
The Colubima widens her channel as
she approaches the ocean until che
reaches the width of over fifteen miles.
1t appeared as wide sea to the Off.
GERS and soldiers and the Pickering
lights on the north and south shores
looked like so many stars lining the
distant horizon.
An hour after midnight had been
reached. The officers had assembled to
the pilot house and asked inpatient
questions.
81 cannot be responsible for the de-
layed train" replied the pilot. my
boat is doing her best and will get you
there as soon as possible"
He was now to the south of the
eastern point of Sand island. He had
discovered the dark outline of tie boats
OF his friends lying in the shadow of
the island shore To the south he saw
another line Of dark shadows which he
knew was the flotilla of reinforce
ments. He could not account for this
except an unforeseen delay which often
attends the organization OF forces.
One thing he did know, and that
was that he would never take the
soldiers where they could interfere
with his friends so long as he could
avoid it.
Suddenly fishing boat was discov-
cred in front of the vessel. The oc-
cupant of the little craft was waving
an oar frantically overhead to attract
the pilot. He signalled the engi-
neer to reverse the lever and the wheel
began to pull back against the current
which was taking the boat rapidly to-
ward the ocean.
The officers down sairs rushed upon
deck to ascertain the cause Of the boat
coming to halt. They soon discov-
cred the figure in the fishing boat and
went to the point where the small craft
was about to collide with the larger
boat.
With an ease brought about by years
OF experience on the water the figure in
the small boat guided the little craft
alonside the larger vessel and the two
came together without scarcely jar.
A rope ladder was thrown over the
side Of the large vessel and the form
left the fishing boat and glided ur the
frail stairway like a shadow.
"Why, it's a woman-a girl!' said
Captain Budlong as she stepped on the
deck.
eyes, it is Sankala" said the sheriff
as he recognized the girl.

How CeIlulOld Is Made.

Colluloid. the chemical compound
which bears so close a resemblance to
ivory, is mixture of collodion and
camphor, invented in 1896 by Perke-
sine, of Birmingham. whose name for
time 1t bore. The process Of manu-
facture Is as follows: Cigarette paper
is soaked in a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids until it becomes nitro
cellulose. After thorough washing. to
free it from the acids, this cellulose Is
dried, mixed with a certain quantity
Of camphor. and coloring matter If re-
quired. and then passed through roll.

sheets by hydraulic pressure and after
ward broken up by toothed rollers and
soaked for some hours in alcohol. A
further pressure and hot rolling proc
ess finish it. and results in ivory like
sheets half an inch thick.

Having a great reputa ton as ball
player is not all fun said close
friend Of the only Wagner. NO one
knows what a lot Of worry big game
entails. For instance. after the games
at Allegheny. Wagner makes It point
always to go directly home. He rides
on the street car from the ball park to
Pittsburg On the car are probably a
dozen men who know Honus by sight.
They all think they must ask him the
score, although every one OF them was
at the game himself. One man is seat
ed right behind Wagner. He leans
over the seat and says: What was
the score to-dayy Wagner answers
him courteously. and then the man
says: 1 wasn't certain about 1t. |
was at the game. but l was so deeply
Interested in what you were doing that
lost track of the tallies. That was a
great hit you made
Now, Wagner is not man who
likes to be praised and lauded to the
skies. He knows his ability. but he is
not boastful. nor can any one accuse
him of being proud He is plain fell
low who attends strictly to his own
business. and does not care rap
about popularity. But he must make
some reply, and he usually says Yes
in half whisper.
Then a couple Of seats in front Of
Wagner is a man accompanied by his
son. and he takes great delight in
pointing out the big Dutchman TO the
little fellow. The kid thinks 1t great
to see Honus. and he yells out: Gee.
Is that Wagner! Honus can't blush,
but he has to go through enough to
make a mans hair white. People stop
and stare at him as he gets Off the car,
and others remark about him as he
keeps on his way up the street to the
railroad station
ION the train 1t is worse yet. Wag
ner meets a lot of his fellow townsmen
Of Carnegie and they all know him.
They all want to hear about the game,
and insist on his telling them. Oh, it's
awful. People try to give Wagner
everything. He Is sent cigars by the
hundred, and he never smokes them.
He gets mail by the handful. and some
Of the letters he IL asked to answer are
wonders. People ask him all kinds Of
foolish questions through the mail. If
he answered all Of them, he would
have to employ three or four secre-
taries.'

of different nationalities, and In add

WOMEN AS WORKERS.

Some Figures that, After All, Are Not
DiscOuraginX.
A statistlctan has gone to the trouble
to ascertain that 50 per cent Of all the
divorced women. 81 per cent of the
widowed and 81 per cent of the single
women are engaged in gainful pur
suits Only about 6 per cent Of the
married women are similarly situated
While the great body of married WON
en- are at home attending to the do
nestle duties which are naturally set
down for them. there is some hope
still that the old order of things is not
going to be completely oyerthrown.
The world will not be without homes
The figures indicate that 81 per cent
Of the married men are supporting
their wives though the women are,
of course, doing their full share in
maintaining domestic establishments
which are bulwarkS of morals and
good order and which keep the race
from dying out
On surface analysis ii may seem
wonderful that 81 per cent of the mar
families. when so many women are in
mems occupations; but the earth Is big,
and the ordinary attempt at compre-
hending the things to be done and the
number of people to do them is puny
indeed. In the long run there appears
to be room for everybody-the home
woman. the new woman, the man.
nish woman, the bachelor woman. etc.
likewise for the womanish man and
the men who depend on the labor and
shrewdness of their wives to keep
them going. The mixture Of the sexes
in the active business affairs of to-day
would have scared writer's on political
economy twenty five years ago. 1t
seems plain enough. for example. that
when man on a salary gets work for
his daughter in the same occupation at
perhaps smaller compensation than he
receives. he is sapping the foundation
of his own employment and prosperity;
that, in the long run. he will be simply
dividing up his salary among the men,
bers of his own family and driving
other men out of employment
/ The results of widespread changes of
this sort look, apparently, to an entire
revolutionizing of society But people
are not stopping to study the text
books. They are going ahead with
the fashions Of the time. leaving the

The South and Immigration.

Why is it that the Southern
states do not get their proportions
ate share of Immigrants who come
each year from Europe to the
United States? Considering the
fact that land is cheap in the
South" says the Wilmington
On. CO. Star, transportation
facilities by rail are good, and
numerous seaports at which i'm
migrants could land direct, some
persons wonder why so few (m-
migrants come this way. There
are reasons for it. 2 says the Star,
land they are good reason, too. "
Times-Democrat.
Yes, the reasons ale ''goodn
in double sense. But good as
they are The Herald is willing to
rest discussion on the simple fact
that the South doesn't wish to
share, fully and Unfortunately
in any such questionable BLESSING.
We are told that American i'm
migration agents display maps in
Europe with the Southern states
labeled the black belt, avoid it. 2
Or yellow fever region, keep
away from it, And the South is
urged to take steps to correct
the misrepresentation. !" Let the
maps stand, we say, so long as
they shut out more undesirable
than desirable immigrants. OF
course many of the home seekers
from across the ocean would prove
good citizens, but what the South
especially needs is the land buyer
from the North and West and
close blood kin. They readily
fall into the ways and sentiments
of the South. Such citizens are
welcome and they are coming.
An unassorted share in the peas
ants and paupers of Southern
Europe, debased and stunted as
they have been through genera

Ne Win Spend $500 600.

The Clarion Ledger says a high
official of the Gulf and Ship Island
road who was at the capital for the
day states that President j. T.
Jones, owner of the system. is
making preparations to spend
another half million dollars or
the harborand deep water chan
mel at Gulfport.
The business of the port has SO
far exceeded the expectations Of
President Jones that it has be.
come necessary to enlarge the
basin in order to give anchorage
to all the ships awaiting cargoes.
The wharfage is also inadequate
for the export trade, and extern
sions will be made. The Gulfport
pier, which is said to be one Of
the largest in the world, will be
extended, and the channel will
be marked with lights out to Ship
Island, twelve miles distant, in
order that vessels can be towed
out and in during the night with
out mourning risks.
The export trade at Gulfport
has increased nearly three hun,
dred per cent, within the past
sixteen months. Of the vessels
now in port several are from Nor.
way, South Africa, Italy and Rot
terdam, while South American
vessels are very frequent arrivals.
The government has just award
ed a contract for placing light at
Ship Island and also at Spade
Fish Shoals, just at the entrance
of the harbor.
The story recently given cur
rency, originating in the Vicks,
burg Post, that the Illinois Cen
trail has bought the Gulf and Ship
Island road, is not even respect
able nonsense. Capt. j. T. Jones,
the president, has frequently de-
clared that the road is not fol
sale, and as he is the possessor Of
about as many millions as the
president of the Illinois Central
he can well afford to retain the
ownership of the road, especially
as it has proven very profitable
pIaything for the New York Mil
lionalre.

ANOTHER SAD EXAMPLE.
Bad Women. Wine and Cards Bring
a Lincoln County Young Man to
Trouble and DISGRACE.

Hugh Trimble, the young white
man employed as clerk at the
plant of the Empire Planning Mill,
who was arrested Tuesday on the
charge of embezzling $1,000 of the
company's funds, and was after
wards released on his own. recog-
nizance and given an opportunity
to make good the shortage, has
skipped for parts unknown.
As yet no steps have been tax
en- to locate the young defaulter,
but it is understood that detec-
tives will be employed and placed
on his trail. He left town on a
north bound Illinois Central train,
and it is believed that he has gone
to st. Louis, hoping to be swal-
lowed up in the Worlds Fair
crowds and thus elude the vigil
lance of the officers.
Trimble's downfall is due to an
inordinate love of wine, women
and cards. The greater portion
of the sum be embezzled was
squandered on woman of i'll
repute, and some of it he parted
company with at the West End
gambling dens. His case is only
another instance of the inevitable
end met by young men holding
responsible positions who live
beyond their incomes, and afflict-
ed with tastes which their salaries
are not sufficient to satisfy.-Cla
