I Will tell you now Of Edna
Edna who is surnamed Jacobs
Sweetest singer of the Juniors

Have you heard of Lille Redic
Who IS very fond OF talking
Very fond Of conversation
Conversation on all subjects2
If you walk past our new High School
Any time in this next Autumn
and should hear 4 burst of laughter
Which awakens all the echoes
From the hills around the city
Then you'll know its Lille Redic-
Honor be to Lena Bartlett
Who is studious at all lessons
Be they hard or be they easy
Gives her lessons nearly perfect.
We must not forget McDorald,
Best bass singer Of the High School

On his head to use the chppers2
How he came forth from the bar

down the Esthonian coast. Evident ly her commander had been warned of trouble, for he arrested and sent ashore sailor named Tarosoff, who was regarded as the rlngleader. But, two hours afterwards the sailors arose, entered the cabin and killed Captain Saborovsky, the officer of the watch. When he saw the mutineers approaching the captain made rush for the carbine rack, but the sailors jammed the breech blocks of the car pines and Captain Saborovsky was shot. The firing aroused the officers below. who ran up on deck. and, talk ing in the situation, at a glance, crowded into launch moored along side the Pamayat Azova and started for the shore. The mutneers loaded a rapid fire gun and also manned a cutter and pursued the launch. Lieu tenant Unknovsky and two other off cers were killed by shell from the cruiser and others were wounded. The mutineers in the cutter were rapidly overhauing the launch, when, on reaching shallow water, the sur viving officers jumped into the bay and made for the shore. The fugi- tive officers attempted to drag along with them one of their wounded com rades, but he was eventually aban- doned and drowned. Eight officers escaped into the woods.

 Seattle
REVOLVER AND A DAGGER

 Night POLICE ARE 0N THE WATCH Failed to Get a Look al the Men Who Have Been Prowling
 About Saugatuck.

Westport, Aug 3.-The postoffce in this place was broken into to-day, but as the governments money is re- moved each night to the local bank, the burglars got nothing. WednesdAy night three suspicious looking men prowled around the postofice and some other buildings in Saugatuck an0' then came here, doing the same thing.

Some time during last night however, the same men it is thought pried open the front door of the postoffice, but not since the last robbery several months ago, has any money been left in tho building over night.

BURGLARS WORKED
 ALL NIGHT AND DAY Stole 146 Firkins of Butter, After Shaving Off Brand, Under Nose
 of Police
STOCK HAD BEEN SOLD
And Man Considerers Hi. Los. Like Losing Just So Much
 Ready Cash.

New York, Aug 3.-Charles H. Finn, a merchant of No 331 Green wich street, said yesterday that 146 firkins of butter, valued at $1,800, were stolen from his refrigerator be- tween S:30 p. m. Saturday and 8:30 3. n. Monday, and that though he had reported the theft to the Leon- ard street police he had been unable to get any satisfaction from them. He added that he would pay $500 fof information about the robbery.
 His loss was cash, MT Finn said, for the butter had been sold and he had been compelled to go into the market and buy to supply his GUS toners. To carry off the plunder would have required, according to MT Finn, an hours steady loading and two double trucks.
 'The first we knew of the rob bery," said Mir zinn, twas when the porter went to open the store. He found strange paddock on the front door and was compelled to break into the store. When he got in he found the floor about the refrigerator It. tered with shavings, evidently peeled from the top of butter frkins. Then when, he opened the refrigerator hs found no sign of the 146 flrkins which were there on Saturday night.
 When I arrived few hours later he told me and I notified police head quarters. l also notified the police of the Leonard street station. Since then I have not heard word from the police. So far as I could learn then did not even attempt to work up a clue. T asked them to give an account of the robbery to the news. papers, but they declined. My ob- ject was to warn dealers not to pur- chase the goods. For the thieves had. from the shavings on the floor carefully removed all brands and la. bels fro mthe lids. Evidently they knew good deal about the butter business, for they left behind quan. tity of refined butter whose brand was on the inside of the lid.
 How long it took to shave the tubs can be imagined. Probably hali day. My theory is that the thieves entered the place Saturday night worked all night and Sunday shaving the flrkins. On Monday morning early I believe the goods were re- moved. Just why the policeman on post, whose beat is only from War ren to Franklin street, did not detect the preserlce of thieves. | have been unable to earn"

Attempt Made to Arrest a Civilian Disguised as a Sailor precipitated
 the Row
SEVERAL OFFICERS KILLED
Others Jumped Overheard Boat Was Sunk But They Swan
 Ashore.

London, Aug 3.-A dispatch to a pews agency from Reval. in Esthonia, Russia, says that the mutiny on the |armored cruiser Pamyat Azova be- gan with the arrival on board of a civilian disguised as sailor. He was discovered and an attempt was made to~arrest him, but part of the crew tnterfered, killing the officer who or dered his arrest and three officers who supported him. Three other off, cers were put off in launch, where upon the mutineers fired, sinking the boat. The officers, however, were able to swim ashore. The cruiser Is now under complete control.
 The mutineers met torpedo boat No 106 and called upon the crew to abandon their allegiance. This the crew of the torpedo boat refused to do. and steamed away with the Pam- vat Azova in pursuit. She fired, but did not hit the torpedo boat, which, reached the harbor of Reval, followed closely by the cruiser. A party of mutineers then left the Pamyat Azo- va in small boat for the fortress, with the object of winning over the troops, but upon landing the eight sailors and a civilian. who composed the party. were arrested. The loyal sailors then resolved to make an att tempt to recapture the ship, in which they succeeded after severe fighting, the mutineers being. driven into the forecastle.
 Altogether five officers, doctor, one engineer and subaltern officer were killed. One officer was mortally wounded and two officers were slight ly wounded
 About fifty seamen were killed or wounded.
 The mutineers, numbering 259, were sent ashore.
 It transpires that the sharp firing heard from Sveaborg between 1 and N6 o'clock yesterday morning came from the infantry achievements dispatched there for the purpose of constructing pontoon bridges from island to island in order to wrest the Notifications from the mutineers. The troops were supported by can nonade from the fortress on San hamm Island. The attempt succeed ed and the government flag was hoist cd at noon. showing that the Svea- borg fortress was in the hands of the loyalists.
 Some 2,000 achievements of troops have now arrived at Helsing- fors.
 During the night the telegraph lines were cut. severing communica- ton with viborg. and smal rail road bridge between here and Viborg was blown up. It was subsequently repaired.
 Trains from St Petersburg are ar irving here after great delay. One of the railway bridges was again blown up with dynimite, but 1t was soon repaired.
 The casualties at Sveaborg were many. but 500 is undoubtedly an ex- aggerated number.
 The officers wives showed untiring devotion as nurses. The wounded mutineers suffered considerably. as they were i'll provided with medical supplies.

MET DEATH BY NEW MOTOR. New York Central's Electric Haulers
 Are Wider Than Engines.

New York. Aug 3.-William P. Casey, 13 years old. son of Patrick Casey, retired contractor of Grand avenue and Evelyn place, the Bronx, died In Fordham hospital yesterday. He and other boys were bathing in the Harlem river on Wednesday near the New York Centrars track, which Is used for trying the new electric motors.
 Casey stood close to the track in his swimming costume, and one of the motors knocked him into the wa ter. His skull was fractured.
 This is the first fatality charged to the electric system. It is said that the engines are wider than the old sort, so that persons waiting for them to pass must stand further away.
