Chester VanCleef. the Is year old
son of Mrs Georgia Capper. formerly
of this town, has returned home
voluntarily after having been away
nearly year, and his whereabouts be-
ing unknown all that time to his
mother. He disappeared from home
the first of last year and his mother was
greatly worried over him. She EN-
ployed detectives in all the large citi S
To hunt for him, and IA general descrip-
ton was given to all the police aud de-
tectives of the country. The boy
managed to elude detection, aud all the
time was following up the various
racing events in the country. being in
the employ of noted horse racer, as a
jockey AT last Chester tired of the
company of those who hang around the
stables of fast horses. and so made up
his mind TO return to his mother in
Trenton, n j. Ii is safe TO say that
Mrs. Capper wept tears of Joy because
of the return of the boy that she was
afraid she would never see again.
/ Mr.. j. Fl. Perdue, has demonstrated
since he came to Snow Hill, about two
years ago. what hustle and proper use
of printers ink w II do for business
Before he came here people would buy
a carriage at any place, or wagon any
where but here. The first thing he did
when he bought the business was to call
at the MESSENGER office and contract
with US for space for year Then he
set out to make that space pay him
make it tell the people what he was do
ing III the carriage business, the harness
business, and so on. Now the ordinary
person would have said to himself. and
to US too, for that matter, II am the
only man here in this line and the peo
pie know it. so guess need not adver-
tise," but Mr. Perdue is not an ordinary
young man, he has got just the kind of
push about him that is helpful to a
town He is not only doing splendid
business himself but he attracts custom
ers for others in business here not in his
line. Hei is selling carriages and wagons
i'll all sections of the county. and all
because he is satisfied with a modest
profit. and lets the public know it. Mr..
Perdue will be surprised when he sees

ChinCOteague Shut Out.

Owing to Chincoteague Bay being
frozen over there has been no mails be-
tween that Island and the mainland for
the past ten days. Communication has
been conducted largely by telephone
and telegraph. The people have plenty
of provisions, coal and wood. and have
been enjoying themselves in various
ways, as the weather has been unfit for
them to work in their oysters, and no
way to ship them if they could have
secured plenty of stock. The steamer
Maryland left Snow Hill last Monday
week and has been unable to make her
trips since, owing to the ice in the rivers
and bay. The Steamer Cambridge, of
the b., G. & A. Railway Co. has had
some tough experiences irving to make
her run from Claibourne to Baltimore,
and finanlly had to quit Everything
is frozen up as tight AS box at this
writing land 1t looks like bay traffic will
not be open for some days.

ALMOST CANNIBALS
Is Sailors Suffered Is Days In An
Open Boat At Sea.

New York. Jan. 30.-Three survivors
of the steam dredge Texas, which sank
near the Azores with 90 of her crew ARE
in this city to day with story that the
Ii starving men in an open boat had al
most resolved to eat one of their number
when they were rescued
For IL days the castaways struggled
for life. six days of the time without
food or water Then, wheU all hands
were maddened with thirst and one of
their comrades who had died from ex-
posure had been consigned to the sea. a
schooner hove in sight and rescued the
remaining IL.
The Texas was built in Dantzig aud
was on her way to Galveston Leaving
Southampton December Is. the sixth
day cut found it still nearly 300 miles
from the Azores. The evening of that
day the vessel began suddenly to settle
at the bows and it was discovered that
plate had been ripped loose She soon
filled and sank. Olaf Haga, one of the
rescued men. said

the first mate, Mr.. BAIL, and the 10
men who were on board.
"When we left the ship our stock of
provisions consisted of box contain
ing about 10 pounds of biscuit aud our
water cask held about eight gallons
This was dealt out sparingly, but on the
seventh day was entirely gone. On the
sixth day one man. "a Maori. died from
Ia.
Then began terrible experience
We had to crouch down in the bottom
of the boat TO avoid being pitched over
board. There was water around us, but
we knew that to drink it might prove
fatal. The men were warned, but after
Il day of horrible torture IN ,st of them
succumbed to their desire.
"All of us, said Haga, became like
madmen. A German who had gone
mad on the second day after our water
had given out became so violent we had
to tie him to a thwart to prevent his
doing violence to himself or to us.
Mutterings were heard on all sides and
half dozen of the men planned to
draw lots as to who should be sacrificed
for the rest. Captain Mlnot heard this
and forbade such discussions.
IF the worst comes to the worst, he
said, you may do what you please with
any of US who dies. But as long as we
all breathe each shall have an equal
chance for life" have no doubt that
had we not been picked up when we
were the next day would have witness

FOR SHORTER ROUTE
ID OCEAN CITY, ND.
Now That 8. C.. a. Control,
Can Make Faster Time.

The consolidation of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway and
the Queen Anne's Railroad has revived
the talk of shorter line from Balti-
more to Ocean City. The steamer route
from Baltimore to Love Point on the
Queen Anne's Railroad is about 10 miles
shorter than the route from Baltimore
TO Claiborne. A connecting railroad
from Love Point across to Easton, 70
tap the main line of the Baltimore. Ches-
apeake and Atlantic, would be about the
same distance as from Claiborne to Eas-
ton by the present Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic road. BY using
the Queen Anne's boat line to Love
Point and new line to Easton. the Bal
timore. Chesapeake and Atlantic Rail-
road could put passengers in Ocean City
in one hour less time than they can
now by their Claiborne route.
If the above plan is put into execution
there would be saving of expense of
the Claiborne steamer line, and the Bal.
timore. Chesapeake and Atlantic could.

III Vinol were patent or secret

"Vinol is simply the up-to-date
