PREDICTED THE DAY OF HER DEATH.

Mr.. fernando Wood, now living
near the city, relates the following:
Aunt Mary Lee, colored, aged seven
ty years, aud living on my place, died
May 26, on her birthday, after short
illness. Early in January she told me
she would die on May 26, her seven
tieth birthday, at 8 O'Clock. She was
old, and l thought it was just one of
her childish fancies. A few days later
she told my mother the same thing,
and later told my wife the same. She
has repeated the same prophecy to me
repeatedly since, and as she was ap-
parently in good health 1 laughed at

May 26, her SEVENTEEN birthday. On
the morning of the 26 myself and wife
went to the cabin, and she said:
"Honeys, Pse gwine ter leave you to-
day; de Lord done called me, and Pm
goin' to die at g." A little after
that hour l went back to the cabin,
and the watchers told me that she was
dead; that she died exactly at the
hour of 3.

ne would quit the mat for the ring,
and through Frank E. Force of this
city challenged Marvin Hart to a fin

Gotch is in excellent shape and says
he is better than when he met Jenkins

PasquaIe May Escape GalIows.

Alfred E. Gardner, assistant United
States attorney for this district, and
member of the law firm of Frye, Card
ner & McHarg, of Seattle, has taken
personal charge of the case of Frank
Pasquale, who is now a prisoner in
the county Jail under sentence of death
for murder, says the Tacoma Ledger.
He will bring the case properly before
Governor A. e. Mead. Mr. Gardner
was in Tacoma yesterday and was in
conference for some time with Pas
quale. The Italian was pleased to see
the attorney and gave his side of the
case, as well as signing the affidavits
which will be presented to the COVER
nor in an effort to secure a commuta
ton of sentence. The attorney has al
so secured affidavits from physicians
tending to show that persons afflicted
with epilepsy are not responsible for
their acts under certain circumstances.
Attorney Gardner stated yesterday
that he would take Pasquale's case to
the governor without further delay.

Lewiston Land Office.

The fiscal year for the Lewiston
land office closed June 81, and the re-
port for the quarter ending for that
time is now being prepared. The re-
port shows the cash receipts to be
larger for the year just closed than
for the preceding year, the receipts
being: 19O4-O5, $1O9,942.34; 10000,
$1O5, O11.23, says the Lewiston Tribune.
During the year there were 365 cash
entries; 1876 homestead final proofs;
545 homestead filings; seven final
proof on mineral claims and three
mineral applications. The state Sc
lected 11,497 acres during the year and
5000 acres were covered by script fill
ings. The general business of the land
office has been a slight decrease as
compared to last year, but this is at
tributed to the extension of the forest
reserves and the repeal of the script
act.

Mirrors In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages, when steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used, a method Of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets Of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors Of
glass were made in Germany before
the sixteenth century and were in de-
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes, into which
while they were hot was passed through
a pipe mixture Of tin, anthony and
rosin. When the globe was coated
inside it was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but we'll defined images.

A SHIPS DOCTOR.
The Things For Which He Should o.
Should Not BE Paid.

The Things For Which He Should %
Should Not Be Paid.
A correspondent of Lloyd's Weekly
has expressed the views of a ship doc
tor in the following words: MANY
travellers are in doubt as to the po-
sition Of the ships doctor in regard to
his remuneration from passengers for
services rendered. The merchant ship
ping act enacts that every foreign 60
ing vessel having hundred persons on
board or upward shall carry on board
as part Of her complement q duly
qualified medical practitioner. Further
more, an emigrant ship. e., foreign
going vessel which carries fifty or
more steerage passengers-must have
a medical man, irrespective Of the
number Of crew or Of other passengers
carried. The salary of the doctor on
board is commensurate with these du-
ties to his ship. To any passengers
who are suffering from ordinary forms
Of seasickness and its concomitant
evils or who receives injuries which
are in any way due to the ship the
doctors services are free. For any
sickness contracted before sailing or
during voyage which Is not connected
with the above named conditions he Is
entitled to remuneration at the same
rate as he would receive on shore. OBJ
viously it would be as unfair to ex-
pect that his services to passengers
should be rendered gratis as it would
be for any visitor in hotel or travel
ing on a railway to expect to have
medical attention free In any illness
for which the hotel or railway authori-
ties could not be held responsible"
The writer Of a letter to the London
Lancet says that the case Of the ships
surgeon is stated with accuracy in the
above sentences and adds that ships
surgeons are Of two kinds-irst, those
who after they have qualified take
such a position either for health or for
pleasure, and, second, those who elect
to make sea life a permanency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 a month. This is for
duties to officers and crew. AS regards
passengers in relation to the surgeon
the following groups will include ALL
First, the passenger who takes the
initiative by remunerating the surgeon,
perhaps handsomely, for any services
rendered; second, the passenger who
asks for his bill and pays it if reason
able; third, the passenger who, travel
ing for the first time, does not know
whether to ask for his bill or wait for
it to be delivered, but is pleased to be
enlightened on the matter; fourth, the
passenger who clings to the old time
notion that the surgeon is there solely
for the benefit of passengers, and fifth,
the passenger who never intends to
pay the surgeon.-Medical Record.

Starbuck Man Hurt.

While hauling a load of lumber to
his ranch five miles above town, Mon
day evening, Con Tenan met with a
severe accident, which may keep him
confined to his room for some time,
says the Starbuck Star. He had nearly
reached the ranch when, arriving at a
rough place in the road, he thought
to make work easier for his newly
purchased team of ponies by unload
ing a portion of the lumber. This he
did AS he started down steep
grade shortly afterward reached, the
front wheel struck a post lying in the
road, and he was pitched onto the
double-t trees. One of the horses kick
ed at him and landed astride the wag-
on tongue. Mr.. Tehan, seeing his pre-
carious condition, attempted to throw
himself clear of the danger, but
lighted just right to be caught under
the wheel which ran over him, injuring
MS back so badly that he could not
rise. He called for help, and was
prOvidentially heard by a man who
had passed him shortly before a-ilorse-
back. Help was secured as quickly al
possible and the unfortunate man was
brought home. Dr. Huntington was
summoned and examination showed
that no bones were broken.

GIBSON SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN
DAVENPORT WHEN AUDITOR
WAS ROBBED.
Other Charges of Assault Are Said to
Be Coming to the
Front.

w. G. Gibson, the man who slugged
Barkeeper Billy Boyd few mornings
ago in Dunns Main avenue saloon,
may have another charge to face in
addition to assault with intent to rob,
says the Spokane Press.
Authorities are working out a clue
to the effect that Gibson was the man
who held up Auditor Brown of Lin
coin county about a year ago and got
into the county vault.
Gibson's business mas kept him in
touch with county headquarters mat
ters and it is known that he was in
Davenport on the night of the holding
up Of Brown and the breaking Of the
vault. 1t is reasonable to believe that
he knew the officials expected the
quartely bunch of school money from
the state on the night that Gibson was
in Davenport and the vault was forced
after Brown was held up.
1t So CHANGED that a delay occurred
in the receipt of the money and the
result of the effort of the manipulation
was an inconsequent sum of money.
1t is also reported that Gibson, while
on a liquor side expedition slugged a
man in Boise, Idaho, in the hope of
financial gain. He has been in touch
with county official life as a furnisher
of materials to county officials. He
is accused of having slugged another
man in Spokane over money matters.
Though his business has been of the
highest order he has had plenty of
chances to play the part of "Raffles'
in high life crime, and the Davenport
incident is one which is being investi-
gated by the officials of Lincoln county.
