VAS NARROWED IN
 ARCTIC RIBBONS
SAILOR CUES CHIPS OWNER AS
 RESULT OF EXPERIENCES.
FORGOT ENGLISH TONGUE
Abandoned In Cold North and Forced to Spend Years Among the EsquI- i. maux Before Being : Rescued
 by a Scotch Whaler.

New London.-The loss of the whaling schooner Era, which went ashore oil St. Pierre few days ago. recalls curious suit at law which in. wolves this boat and which will be threshed out in the Massachusetts courts soon. This Is the suit of George c. Cleveland. of Vineyard Haven, Mar tha's Vineyard. against Thomas Luce 4 Son. of New Bedford. The point at issue is whether vessels owners can wi4i impunity leave a member of the crew in the Arctic regions and fail to call for him.
 In 1899 the Era, with George Cleve- land as second mate, sailed for a cruise in Hudson Bay. According to Cleveland he went out on the boat with the understanding that he was to establish whaling station up there and with companion was to remain over a year, the boat to return for him in the second season.
 When the Era reached her destina- ton his companions courage failed and he sailed home with the boat, leaving Cleveland alone According to the story of the second mate, he would still be up there in the fee if he had waited for Thomas Luce & Son to send after him.
 As 1t was, he stayed until last spring waiting for chance to get back to civilization and during that time for got even his native tongue. Now he proposes to make the former owners of the Era, who he says marooned him up there, pay him $10,000 for his hard ships.
 According to Cleveland's story he was abandoned 1,500 miles from the nearest white settlement at Wager river, the north end of Hudson Bay. He built himself cabin 12 by "A feet and during the first year or more he did not mind the experience, although his provisions ran short and he ire quently had to live on one meal day.
 When the first spring came he did considerable trading with the natives in whalebone. At the end of the sec. ond summer the Era had not appeared to take him back home and he began to get discouraged and long for sight of New England. He weathered the second winter and when spring ap- peared he looked every day for some sign of the Era.
 Then as the summer passed and winter began to settle down again, to use Cleveland's words, "it was case

LAWN PLANNED IT. Chicago Police Captain Ao-
 cused of Base Crime.
FAKE BURGLARY MADE REAL ONE
Dutchmnn. Jeweler, It h Claimed, Was Robbed of Gems and Mon- ey by the Connivance of
 City Omcers.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA. -- Many wit
 nesses were summoned before the city civil service commission to give evil dence relative to the charges that have
 been preferred by Chief of Police Col lins against Inspector Patrick J. Lavin, who is accused of conniving at crimes in his district while n police captain.
 The chief evidence against Lavin was given by Patrick P. Mahoney, a former patrolman under Lavin. Ma honey testified that he was intimately acquainted with brother of .Lavin, who was a police sergeant, and that Patrick J. Lavin, then police captain, called him into private room i'll the police station and declared that he was about to take the examination for promotion to police inspector and that 1t would aid bim in securing the pro motion if he could do good job of DO lice work before the examination was held.
 Lavn then said, according to the witness: "There is Dutchman over here on Wentworth avenue near Eff tieth street who owns n jewelry store with $s.O00 to $10OO0 worth of stuff in the safe. Now you know some handy fellows who can touch the place off It will be worth $5,000 to me to have the job pulled of and then turn back the stuff as though it had been re taken"
 Mahoney said that he agreed to the proposition of Iavin and made ar- engagements with James Clark and Thomas Barry to rob the place. Sev- eral boxes of jewelry. according to the witness, were carried from the place and some money was secured, which was divided between the men md him. self. The jewelry was concealed In the basement of his own house. Ma honey declared.
 The next morning he went to the sta ton, and the captain whispered to him, asking if he had secured the stuff" He whispered that he had, and the captain then asked him in loud voice if he had seen any suspicious characters around the jewelry store the night before. T told him. said the witness, about dividing up the money. and he laughed and said that the Dutchman would be lucky if he got part of the jewelry back"
 Bernard ]. Hagaman. the jeweler, who was called the 'Dutchman" by the witness, preceded Mahoney on the stand and said that his place had been robbed as Mahoney afterward describ- ed and said that of the jewelry taken some of 1t. valued at $1 400. had never been returned to him.
 Chief of Police Collins charges that the job was framed up to get. Lavin the inspectorship. Lavin testified that he is innocent of any complicity and that he is now being "jobbed' by Ma honey and the police department. Bar " was soon after killed in fight with the police. Mahoney asserted that he was killed as part of a plot to keep him from talking. Clark has It was brought out that Lavin had nothing when he joined the and is now worth $100.- OO0.

of either get among the Esquimaux or starve and made for the fwiliiets tribe"
 They received him cordially and vir. tually made him one of their number. In speaking of this experience to his friends here Cleveland said:
 The tribe consisted of about 300 persons and. like others of the race. was nomadic. seeking places where the game was most plentiful During the summer we went to the coast after wairus and seal. which we usually found in fair numbers.
 At that season when moss and heather were abundant we could cook our food: but in winter cooking was out of the question and the flesh, which was often in a rancid state, had to be eaten raw.
 He had a thrilling experience on an Ice fioe for five days without pro visions and he and some Esquimaux companions had a narrow escape from being carried out to sea
 They made an attempt to get back to the mainland. but were unsuccess- full Then a bllrzard came up and for five days they drifted helplessiy about. On the fifth day they had almost aban- doned hope when the Ice foe ground ed at Beach Point and they had just strength enough to crawl back to the tribe.
 ]. He had spent four years Iith the EsQuimaux when one day a Scotch whaling boat picked him up. When he vent aboard he couldn't speak a uord Of English and 1t took him . month to learn to talk again.

When Knighthood Was in Flow err as a stage production Is com plete success. The events follow the scenes of the novel more closely than the casual reader would have thought possible. The story is as clear as if every line in the book were spoken.

The drama tization is conceded to be better than the novel, which is seldom the case

DOOM OF cITlEs PREDICTED.

Prepare for shocks. Prophet Edmund s. Stevens, of this city has prophested long series tof dreadful catastrophes which will culminate in the destruction of all the cities of the earth in the year of our Lord 1882.
 Mother Earth is not of plumb. according to this prophet and all the terrible earthquakes that have occurred and are yet to come are due to the fact that the earth is gradually resuming its proper position. When this stage of transi- ition Is reached there will be new earth and new heaven referred to in the scriptures. The prophecy follows:
 CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES. "The earth is out of her place, or upright position. It is gradually resuming it. Whenever there is an accelerated or faster motion then in that period earthquakes occur. We are now in one of these periods, from Mont Pelee, 1900 to

In discussing the work Of the Bruizer naval ofhcers say that before they can make any accurate or valuable comparison between British and American marksmanship 1t VIII be necessary to know the sire of the target, the rate of speed at which 1t was moving and the actual time in which the S4 shots were de- livered.

Resident of few cities in the country are more proud of their town than are Washingtons, but they have been deeply humiliated by the dis. coveries that have been made recently by inspec- tors authorized by law.
 Within two or three blocks of the Capitol building there arc slums where human beings old and young, exist in great numbers in habita- tions so small and vile as to stagger belief It has been stated that these buildings are worse and more overcrowded than any to be found in New York or Chicago. Since the agitation of the question of housing the poor 1t has been found that the old army barracks, which did duty away back in 1861. 62 63 '64 and '65. havs been con stantly occupied by hordes of the colored popula- tion Without any sanitary provision whatever 1t is needless to argue that such sections of the capital sity are hotbeds for the breeding of pestilential
