the seventy or eighty seamen on board.

to wait until land was almost in sight
and then to rise at a preconcerted sig
nal and kill or bind the officers and
run the ship into a British port. A
supposed Irishman in the crew who
had unusual knowledge of navigation
was taken into the plot. This man
was an American and he revealed the
entire scheme to the officers and pas
sengerS, who, together with the Ameri-
can and French sailors of the crew,
were armed and waiting when the sig
nal was given for the revolt to begin.

forty of them were put in irons and

There was a great scarcity of seamen
in the country and the few that could
be found objected to sailing under a
foreign officer. AT first the MasSachu-
sets authorities resorted to strenuous
mea ures to overcome the difficulty

marquis would not have it. He de-

The offer was accepted gladly and
these seamen, with some French sailors
and a few volunteer Americans, made
up the complement. 1t was with a
good deal of anxiety that the friends
of Lafayette saw him in the hands of
such crew. Their solicitude was in
creased by the news that parliament
had just passed a bill encouraging
sailors in American ships to rise
against their officers, generous bounty
being promised in case of success in
bringing the vessel into an English
port. The men in the frigate had also

WERE GOOD WORDS ONCE.

The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in Webster's Dictionary
is considerably larger than people have
any idea of. The following letter, writ
ten by an alleged poet to an editor who
had treated his poetry with derision,
furnishes some idea of them:

petiginous scrogle! Like those who,
envious of any moral celsitude, carry
their ungicity to the height of Great.

PERSIAN DISHONESTY.

II Perm Gates Every Class Of 0oc1etyl
From Highest to Lowest.
veracity is a scarce article in Pessia,
according to the Rev. Napier Malcolm.
In his give Years In the Persian
Town" he writes of conditions in Yezd
as follows: "In the Yezd bazaars prob
ably not less than one-third Of the
speeches made by Mussulmans are
falsehoods. One day cook Of a Euro
pean went to the bazaar and after the.
usual haggling fixed the price Of some
meat at IL krans for thirteen pounds.
But said the cook, you've got your
thumb on the scales Did you think
retorted the butcher, that l would
give you meat at thirteen pounds for
IL krans unless kept my thumb on
the scalesY We had a neighbor who
was considered fairly respectable
man whose sole business was the forg-
ing Of seals.
But the fact is that every class,
from the highest to the lowest, is
thoroughly permeated by the leaven Of
dishonesty. A Mohammedan assured
me that truth speaking and honesty
had nothing to do with religion, but
were purely a matter Of climate. In
that case said I, the people Of Persia
ought to speak the truth very well, for
one Of the Greek historians VINO lived
before the Mohammedan era declared
that the Persians were famous for
speaking the truth But who does
not know replied the Mohammedan,
that the climate Of country changes

For Their Trouble.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-Gamblers intent
upon playing the races and policemen
determined to prevent all race track
betting on the high seas furnished to-
UNIQUE and spectacular gambling raids
ever attempted in this country. The
police and gamblers raced around
the lake, first into Michigan waters,
then close to the shores of Illinois,
and then into the jurisdiction of In
diana, the one seeking to escape and
the police determined to capture them
at all hazards. The net results of the
day for the police was the capture Of
fourteen weary gamblers who floated
ashore at South Chicago in launch
All the others, after a hot chase by the
police in a numbering fire tug, escaped
to Indiana Harbor, Ind, and made
their way ashore outside of the juris-
diction of the Chicago police.
Chief of Police Collins announced
two days ago that he would no longer
permit the operations of the floating
poolroom, City of Traverse. He as
serted that he would arrest all the
gamblers when they attempted to
board it, claiming that they were about
to commit an illegal act within the jul
risdiction of the police.
Gamblers Score First.
The gamblers circumvented the chief
OF police at the outset by causing the
steamship City of Traverse to be run
out into the Lake into the waters Of the
state of Indiana, where she lay all
through the morning steaming up and
down, waiting for the betters to arrive
later in the day. Large details of po-
lice were placed on the shore guard
ing the approaches to all of the docks
from which the gamblers might make
their way to the lake. It was the ex-
pectation of the authorities that the
betting fraternity would leave Chicago
on the City of Traverse, but instead of
this small excursion steamer named
The Eagle had been chartered, and the
gamblers. walking past the police, en-
banked and started for the City of
Traverse, which was rolling around in
midlake. The police were powerless
to intercept any Of the "excursionists,"
as they called themselves, and with
deep chagrin watched them sail away
to place their money on the races.
The announced program of the
managers of the floating poolroom was
that all the passengers would be land
ed at the foot of sNinety-second street

Moose is from the Indian word
mouswah, meaning wood eater
skunk, from seganku, an Algonquin

Of merchantmen, until within the last
thirty or forty years have been addict
ed to INSTRUMENTATION, and mutiny was
not an uncommon crime. Bad food,
overwork and general unfair treatment
are the usual stimulants to rebellion at
sea, and it frequently happens that
there is abundant incentive to revolt.
On man of-war however, the condi-
tions are somewhat different. There is
plenty of food of the kind supplied in
rations and no man is required to ex-
ert himself beyond clearly specified
limit. Besides this, there is always
present the comforting assurance that
one is responsible ultimately only to
his government and that his more i'm
mediate superiors are in precisely the
same condition.
These are some of the reasons which
make the mutinous detection of the

unique event for Russia. Nothing of
I the kind has ever before occurred since
The empire had q navy. Ever since the
