MYSTERY OF THE OCEAN.
Fate Of Crew That Left New York
in 1887 Has Never Been
Learned.

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
Of all the mysteries of the sea is the
fate of the crew Of the ship Marie
Celeste, more fantastic creation, ap-
parently, than novelist ever wove,
writes P. T. McGrath, in McClure's
Magazine. She left New York in 1887
for Europe, her personnel being IL,
including the captains wife and child.
Two weeks later British bark
sighted her in the Atlantic; there was
no sign of life on board. A boat was
sent to her, and a most exhaustive
search proved her to be as silent as
the tomb, as deserted as a pesthouse.
Everything was in its place-even the
boats at the davits. The hull was un-
damaged, the cargo untouched. Rig
ging and spars were intact; the sails
were all set. The crews weekly wash
hung above the forecastle;; an awning
covered the poop. Binnacle and wheel
ors' kits and dinners were seen in the
forecastle. In the cabin was sewing
machine. with child's garment under
the needle, and on the table half
eaten meal The chronometer licked
undisturbed in the chartroom; the
cash box was unrif1ed The logbook,
posted to within 48 hours of the visit,
showed the passage to have been IA
vorable; the ships appearance proved
there had been no storm. Evidences
of a struggle or piracy or murder
there were none. Yet thirteen people
had disappeared as If spirited away
by some unnatural agency, and from
that day to this the mystery has never
been unraveled, though the United
States government spared no effort to
solve it.

Should the ratio of increased use Of
the telephone keep up the wires will soon
be carrying more messages every day
than are handled in the mails, In the
last three years the number of subscrib-

reduced to 90 cents, but little more than

CASE CONTINUED.
Third Trial of Samuel Gassenheimer
Goes Over a Week.

The case of Samuel Gassenheimer, indict-
ed for receiving embezzled railroad tickets,
knowing them to have been embezzled, set
for it's third trial today, in Criminal Court
No. /, was passed until next Monday
When the cause reached Attorney
Henry Z. Davis, representing the defend
ant, explained that he had arranged with
Assistant United States Attorney Easily
Smith that the trial should be postponed,
and asked the court to approve the ar
rangemCnt. Mr.. EasbySmith remarked
that he had agreed that the case should
go over for the reason that Mr.. Davis is
i'll and not physically able to proceed at
this time.
Further Mr.. Davis pointed out he simply
could not engage in the trial today, and
he suggested that for business reasons the
defendant should be shown some consid-
Grafton and the trial postponed until after
the middle of March. Mr. Easby-S Smith
was willing that the cause should be passed
indefinitely
Justice Wright announced that the case
would be allowed to go over until next
Monday, when, If the physical condition of
Mr.. Davis is such that he will be unable
to proceed a further postponement will
probably be granted.

Army Training for Women.

From the New York Times.
If the German g-vernment can carry out
its idea of educating and training women
for such employments as they are fitted for
in connection with the military service it
will go far toward offsetting the evils
which, despite its many advantages, prac-
tically universal service for men almost
necessarily involves. The burden Of some
Of these evils falls heavily upon the women
of the nation, and they have just and
pathetic claim to any possible compensa-
ton.
Nearly all the occupations for which
women could be adapted in relation to the
army and navy would, at the very outset.
require education different from that Of the
class from whom they would be drawn and
better. From the lower service of cleanli-
ness or OF mechanical employment in the
preparation Of supplies and equipment to
the clerical work of the administrative de-
partments and to expert nursing, cooking
and organization OF such work. relatively
superior education would be needed, which
II Is the intention of the government to pro-
vide. That which the men receive is ac-
knowledged to be In many ways an advan-
tage. But with the women there would be
the peculiar benefit that everything they
would have to be taught for the public SER
vice would be useful and remunerative In
civil life. Add to this the moral influence
OF proper discipline and OF training In
varied and probably comparatively diflicult
work. the increased sense Of efficiency, the
corresponding advance in independence
and In self-respect, the conscious relation to
the national life. and 1t IL clear that the
Plan has many rich possibilities.
