NEW MYSTERY UNsoLvED.
Ship Lost Year Ago Found Stranded
But Where is Crew?

CANTON, Dec. 9.-The derelict ship
which was found high and dry on a
shoal in the China sea has been iden-
titled as the British steamer Claver-
dale which was given up for lost six
months ago, and the Vladivostock Sal
wage company hopes to be able to float
her in the spring.
But not one word has ever been
heard of her crew, nor can any trace
Of them be discovered. The Clover
dale was commanded by a Cardigan
man and of her total crew of twenty
seven, all but two were British. While
it is possible that they went ashore it
is more likely that the ship was board
ed by Manchurian pirates and that
they were thrown overheard.
The Claverdale is a fine ship of 1000
tons, $50 feet long. Eighteen months
ago, during the war, she was cruising
in eastern waters. In October, 1904
she called at Hongkong for orders and
found awaiting her a charter to con-
vey coal to Vladivostok, which was
supposed to be blockaded The cruise
was expected to last six months and
the owners agreed to give everybody
on board double wages for the period.
Six months passed. No news was
hoe r6 Of h. nd hn
writer's paid on a total loss. On the
strength of this the owners communi-
Gated as far as possible with the rela-
tives Of the crew, and paid them the
amount due each man for wages, to-
gether with a bonus equivalent to a
months wages, and compensation for
the loss of property, that is to say per-
sonal belongings amounting in one
case to as much as $4oO.
Finally it was reported that large
British vessel was ashore on a DESC
late point on the Manchurian coast in
the gulf Of Tartary, 200 miles north Of
Cape Olgi. The salvage company or
gained an expedition, and they now
report that the ship is the Claverdale,
that she has been plundered Of every
thing, that nothing is left giving the
slightest hint as to what became of the
crew, and that, except for 500 tons
of coal in the mold, the ship is bare
hull.

WANTED A BLIZZARD.
Mrs. Hobson's Wish Was Gratified
in Dakota.

FARGO, N. D., Dec 9.-When Cap
tain Richmond Hobson's lecture tour
through North Dakota was arranged,
the probability of a blizzard affecting
affairs was not taken into cOnsidera-
ton and the result is that only few
of the gallant warriors dates have
been filled in this state. When Cap
tain Hobson and Mrs. Hobson crossed
the Montana line into this state, the
weather was perfect.
81 am SO sorry" said Mrs. Hobson.
We wanted to see real North Dako-
ia blizzard so much"
In less than two hours the wind was
blowing gale and a real blizzard was
in progress. Captain and Mrs. Hob
son were repeatedly snowbound along
the line of the Gerat Northern, and
the wires were kept busy re-arranging
the lecture dates. The captain ar
rived here at midnight Saturday, but
was obliged to leave at once on the
next train for the east, where he is
scheduled to lecture.

NEW UNITED STATES BATTLE
SHIPS WAS cHRIsTENEp AT
PHILADELPHIA TODAY.
Glided Into the Water In the Presence
Of an Immense Crowd
of People.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 9.-This
is the day set for the launching Of the
new United States battlesnip Idaho,
which has been built by the Cramps
at their ship yards in this city. The
ships in the river displayed flags and
the scene near the shipbuilding yards
presented festive appearance. Not
witnstanding the cold weather an en-
ormous crowd was assembled in the
vicinity of the yards, to watch the
large battleship as it glided from it's
cradle into its element. Besides Gov
ernor Gooding of Idaho, whose fifteen
year-old daughter acted as sponsor at
the baptism Of the ship, a large dele
cation of members of congress and
prominent citizens of that state, many
officials of the navy department. the
experts of the naval construction bu-
reau and several hundred navy and
army officers attended the launching
of the magnificent ship.
The Idaho is a sistership of the
Mississippi, which was launched a few
weeks ago. Her keel was laid in 1904
the Idaho has a displacement of 49,
900 tons, and will be Of 10000 horse
power 1t is expected to have a speed
of II knots. The estimated cost of the
battleship is $2,995,5OO. It's main bat
terry will contain four 12-inch breech-
loading rifles; eight S-inch and eight
finch breech-loading rifles. The Sec
Ondary battery will include twelve g.

fire guns; two 3-inch field guns and
eight machine guns.

"Come in," said Jimmie Caswell, a
little embarrassed. You see. the place
isn't fixed up very well, but haven't
had any one to attend to things for
week"
"Help is hard to get" admitted Grace
GOrham.
But I'm very lncky," commented
Jimmie regarding the brown hair that
peeped under the dainty hat. He al,
ways had liked brown.
'Now, about my place." said the girl
briskly. How much do you payT'
-Four dollars a week." said Jimmie
promptly. Il pay you "a certain SUM
for expenses, and you find all material.
It's better that way than having to
come to me all the time for money"
"But isn't that very little, even for a
beginner" she asked.
That's the regular price," assured
Jimmie. -Four dollars week and $40
for supplies"
81 never would use all that" she
gasped. 81 don't suppose you will need
more than couple Of dollars week."
"Oh, yes, you WILL" declared jim

for more every Friday regularly; never
could imagine what she bought with
it."
"She must have been very hard on rib
bons," suggested Miss Gorham. "Some
girls are. Even at that, she shouldn't
use up $40 worth"
What have the ribbons to do with
the expense" asked Jimmie curiously.
"She couldn't spend it for paper" ex-
planned Miss Gorham. You could not
possibly use more than box week.
The ribbons are about all else she had
to get"
"Oh, no." he interrupted. "She had
to get bread and meat and things like
that"

it?' he asked curiously. Il never told
him wanted anybody"
For answer, she drew clipping from
her pocketbook. 1t was an advertise
ment for a stenographer and gave the
house address. but no name,
Jimmie Immediately became con-
scious of his dressing gown. 1t was
all right to talk to cooks in dressing
gowns, but a stenographer-and such
a pretty one!
Pm sorry" he said humbly, "but
it's the fault of that blame boy. He
meant Miss Cartwright across the hall
/ believe she writes"
He showed her to the door, but to
his surprise she started down the
stairs"
Miss Cartwright is just across the
hall--on this landing" he called after
her.
IL don't think 1 want the place u
she cried, struggling to keep back the
tears. Il don't want to work here. "
And she went her way conscious, even
In her anger, that she was rather sorry
that Jimmie had not wanted stenog
rapher. Even In dressing gown Jim
mie was an attractive fellow.
AS for Jimmie himself, he kept think
ing about the pretty typewriter all the
morning, and even the arrival Of q well
recommended cook brought No solace
to his mind.
Even a telephone summons to dine
with his favorite aunt did not give the
pleasure it usually brought, even when
that kindly lady admonished him to be
prompt, as she had invited particu
larly attractive young woman on his
account. Better get her to run the
mousse for you," she laughed, Just as she
hung up her receiver, you have such
trouble with servants"
For moment Jimmie did not recoe
nize her In her fllmy dinner dress. He

that he had said the wrong thing.

But what was it you asked?" he

little laugh.
"And 1 said Yes" he cried contrite-
". "What a fool you must have taken
me for"
''rhen you admit your mistake" she
asked smilingly.
What Jimmie answered was not to
the point and wholly unworthy Of re-
cital There are times when even a
confirmed bachelor may grow suddenly
foolish, and through that dinner Jimmie
would have rivalled even a college lad
making love to his first widow.
A more important conversation, and
one more worthy of record, was held a
few weeks later In the Gorham H.
brary.

memory of Jimmie's serious parody on
bargaining.
Love and affection and other valu-
able considerations, as the legal docu-
ments say" he answered promptly.
And as you were an applicant for a
place you shall have first chance-will
you, dear? He had dropped his ban

enlinently practical termination to a
proposal by an oddly like Jimmie.

Ancient Use of the Mace.

The ancient use Of the mace intro
duces us to remarkable instance Of
ecclesiastical casuistry. The clergy was
forbidden to shed blood, and as thus
the sword was inhibited this might
have been thought sufficient to keep
them from the battlefield. But not so.
They adopted the mace. Though they
could not cut mans throat, yet might
they break his head. So Bishop Ohio,
half brother Of William, fought along
side Of the conqueror at the bitter bat

brothers being, as you may say, "a pair
