Man and Wife.

The snow was falling. The day was still

the white flakes from his shoulders, said:
Il have just witnessed an instructive
happenings happening that might teach
US why some marriages do not succeed.
"a man and his wife were walking down n

pockets. The woman carried a basket Allied
with cabbage and beets.
"A group of boys danced like imps on a
corner. They had snowballs in their hands.
As soon as the married couple had passed

But only the woman was struck. She got
the heavy blows about the head and face.

wheat Is pouring into the boats of Lake
Superior. The crop amounted to more
than 100000 bushels and during the
season a, steady stream of golden
grain has rolled into Port Arthur. Here
and at the sister city Of Fort William,
four miles away, are some Of the might
lest elevators of the world. These are
now packed almost to bursting, and arc
closed up for the winter to await the open
ing Of navigation in April or May.
Port Arthur and Fort William are the
Duluth and Superior City OF the Canadian
northwest. They promise to have an equal
business with those American grain ports,
and at the same time to take the place of
ST. Paul and Minneapolis into the vast
region now opening up above the interna-
tional boundary. Both have excellent har-
bors. Port Arthur is situated right on
Thunder bay, and Fort Williams is four
miles away. little back from the bay, at
the mouth of the Kaministiqua river.
The cities are on the north side of Lake
Superior, two or three hundred miles from
Duluth, and within about 400 miles cf Win
nipeg, the Chicago of Western Canada At
both towns there is plenty of water for the
biggest Of lake steamers, and q great
caravan of boats is moving back and forth
between them and the east during eight
months of the gear. The ports already
have connection with the west by the Can
adam Pacific railroad and the new Can
adlan Northern, and the Grand Trunk
Pacific is now building a branch which
will connect with its main line and thus
bring another river of wheat to this point.
BY these roads Port Arthur and Fort
William have access to every part of the
wheat belt. and the traffic which will grow
mp in consequence, will make this Of
the commercial centers of the Canada of
the future.

Only One Boiler Exploded.

Nothing can be learned from the
contents of the report of the disaster
on the gunbuat Bennington. The in
vestigation was conducted by Com ;
mander Young and Lieutenants Yates
and Wade and has been concluded.
There appears reason to telieve that
they have decided that onlysone boiler
exploded but that the explosion broke
the steam pipes of the other boilers
and that thus the latter contributed
their share to the death dealing steam.
The Bennington is again afloat on an
even keel, and will be towed by the
Iris to the Mare Island navy yard, at
San Francisco, TO be thoroughly ex-
amined and repaired.
The tug Fortune will escort the
Bennington and the Iris, but it is now
doubtful whether the convoy will get
away before the arrival of the Chi
cago. Divers are making an examina-
tion of the Bennington's hull. Only
one boiler exploded An examination
of the inside of the ship shows that
the hull has been damaged but little,
if any. The water which poured in
and caused the listing came through
the blow hole and pipes, broken by
the force of the explosion. The death
of another victim has been reported.

The Lost Are Found.

The two Cohen children, Lena, z,
and Sophia, years old, who were
lost while on a picnic near Stoney
creek, this county, on Sunday last,
have been found. The manner in
which they unexpectedly turned up
reads like fairy tale or Jules Verne
novel. 1t seems incredible that
with two hundred people searching
for the lost children they should be
found in a clump of bushes within a
short distance from where they were
lost, and have lived three days with
nothing to eat or drink save a few
berries. The children's feet and limbs
were swollen from walking through
the brambles and bushes. They stray
ed away.from their parents onsSunday
and were lost in the woods. A reward
of 5000 had been offered by the en-
ployees of sthe firm where their father
worked in Baltimore. The children
were found by a 12year-old boy,
Walter johnson, who took them oct
to his home near Nobb's creek and
gave them food. They were later
taken to Baltimore on the police boat
Lannau. There was great rejoicing
over the return of the children, VINO
were greeted on their arrival by over
one thousand persons. 1.-THE colored
men who had been arrested as suspects
on the charge of kidnapping the chill
dren were released.

A Menace To Life and Limb.

The sidewalks ON Market street in
front of row of negro shanties owned
by Mr. McNasby. are a menace to life
and limb. They are torn up in holes
from four TO six inches deep and IN
some places the Pedestrian foot is
precipitated unexpectedly TO a depta
of a foot or more. These sidewalks
have been in this condition for months.
Notwithstanding complaint has been
made to the owner and to the CITY
Council. The street is one of the most
frequented thoroughfares in Annapo-
lis. especially OF this season when
boating and bathing are popular.
Bouoher's cannot be reached except
through this street. A Few days ago
a young lady fell and would have been
seriously injured had il not been for
a gentleman nearby. At recent Sun
days.chool picnic several Of the chill
dren stumbled into the holes in the
sidewalk on their way TO Boucher =,
and were moro OF less hurt. The con-
dition OF the sidewalk is a disgrace to
the city and if il is not soon repaired
somebody will have suit ON his
hands for broken leg or perhaps a
broken neck.
