tober Is had been saved On board the
steamer was Thomas Anderson, one Of
the employees OF the Florida East Coast
Railway Company, who was swept out to
sea on a barge during the storm.
He was picked up miles off the Florida
coast after he had endured hardships and
suffering which rival these Of John Rus

october 3 by the steamer FL Paso, which
picked him up after he had been thirty
six hours on a fran raft.

sixteen hours before he was rescued Buff
feted by the waves. a score of times he
was on the verge Of giving up in despair
and cutting the rope with which he had
Iashed himself to the log. preferring death
at once to the lingering torment Of his
awful position.
Pear for His Life.
When picked up the man was SO weak
that fears were entertained tor a while
that he would die. He rallied, however.
and was in apparent good shape when he
landed here last night.
His story is a tale Of the horrors o:

ed out to sea on a houseboat which had
been anchored Of Long Keys. The storm
swept down on the little island near
where the houseboat was anchored with

boat realized their danger they were far
out on the sea.

intended for anything but housing the
men while IN quiet waters, could not long
withstand the attacks OF the mountain

Anderson was able 10 pick out q good
sized log. 20 which he lashed himself.
When the frail houseboat finally collapsed,
the log kept him afioat For sixteen hours

every moment Of that time he faced

Of rescue.

GRIGGS CLAIMS HOUSE
Says People Are Crazy and
VIII Vote for Democracy.
FORECAST SHORT AND pITHY
Gives Party Majority of Twenty
Eve and Then Departs HurriedIy
for New York City-Chairman's
Prophecy Shortest One Ever Issued.
Clerical Force to Be Rewarded.

The briefest official political forecast
on record was made yesterday by Chair
man James NJ. Griggs. Of the Democratic
Congressional Committee. II was pre-
pared IN advance on q typewriter. II fol-
lows:
We will control the next House Of
Representatives by not less than twenty
i've majority"
a few days ago Chairman Griggs claim
ed the House by at least thirty-five. He
declines TO give the details
When asked to make public some OF
the details upon which he based his
prediction that the Democrats would con-
troll the House in the next Congress by
a majority OF twenty-five. he said:
People Are Crazy.
The people are crazy this year. and We
expect TO get the crazy vote" 4 bystander
suggested that crazy people didn't always
vote the same way. The man who made
this suggestion skunk away al q witherins
glance from Chairman Griggs.
The people have done a lot OF crazy
things this year" continued Mr.. Griggs-
For example. they made the Democrats
accept the gubernatorial nominee OF the
Independence League in New York; South
Carolina turned down Tillmsni Wiscon-
sin rejected SpoOner; Georgia turned down
every prominent Democrat there for Hoke
Smith"
Starts for New York.
After completing this prophecy. M
Griggs packed his grip, and taking Vice
Chairman Bowers by the arm started
70 leave headquarters with view OF en-
barking for the home OF the money devil,
But the force of employees at headQuaT-
ters insisted that a demonstration should
be made in honor Of the two heroes Of
the campaign, for had not Chairman
GrigEs assured them that the House in the
Slxtieth Congress would be Democratic,
and that only the details OF electing and
swearing in the members remained to be
done?
Eat" said the chairman. addressing
the vice chairman. whose full name IS
Eaton jackson Bowers, let Us talk 10

Eat" acquiesced. and Chairman Griggs
and Vice Chairman Bowers addressed
their admirers, telling them that their
services TO the committee were appreci-
ated, and that If things come out as they
should each OF the listeners would be
rewarded
Then Mr.. Griggs and Mr.. Bowers left
their Offices. proceeded to the railway sta

Treats with Severity Maximaiists'
Faction Of RevoIutIOnaires Who
Are Responsible for Assassination
and RObberIes-OrgRnize in Units
and Equipped for Terrorism.

st. Petersburg. Nov. S.-PremieF Stoly-
pins vigorous policy Of divide and rule
causes considerable confusion in the scat
tered ranks of the revoIutionaires. His
action in drawing a wide distinction be-
tween the Maximalist wing of the revo-
lutionists and the Workman's wing drives
q wedge into the mass. which favors an
immediate revolution by physical force.
Among the eight persons hanged for the
raid on the treasury van were some whom
II is not supposed actually had part in
the affair, but their membership in the
MaSimaIists. which conducted the raid
and their presence on the spot with re-
volvers, was decided to be sufficient
ground for their immediate execution.
Prepared for Big Work.
The seizures made al the apartment Of
the terrorist Rosenberg. shows that the
MaximaIisJs whose title may be regard
CO as being derived from the policy Of
inficting the maximum wreckage upon
the government. are organized IN units
Of ten. The chief Of these latter is thus
q centurion. with 100 disciplined followers,
although he personally knows only their
ten sectional chiefs. These arrangements
enabled raids 10 be planned by two or
three IN a back room, where they are be
yond suspicion. and tho plots are actually
carried out by perhaps forty of their fol-
lowers.
Rosenberg was regarded as q centurion
Of the Maximallst party. as the seizure
Of his horses, carriage, and collection
of uniforms, some OF which were those
worn by civil dignitaries when attend
ing receptions. showed he had ample ms-
terial for conducting revolutionary rob
berries and assassinatIons on the highest
scale.
worLmen Get on Lightly.
In striking contrast to the fate OF the
Maximllists. the government has treated
the leaders OF the revolutionary work
mems council with the utmost modera-
ton. The prosecutor announced he did
not ask for sentences involving any kind
OF convict labor. The result was that
fifteen leaders were sent 20 reside within
the boundaries Of some remote province.

Funny, the things you read In the

hind legs to declare that there should
be schools of love. and the young
should be educated in love- Slush!
Schools OF love aren't necessary. The
young Of the softer sex inherit a sufi-
GENTLY large stock OF knowledge on

what they cant teach the young
men 1t isn't necessary for them to

SONS, the humming bird in close pur.
suit. Where will you find another pair
that could dodge and dart equal to
these? They wore like flashes OF
light, yet the pursuer followed the
track Of the pursued, turning when
the bee turned.
In short, the bird and the bee con.
trolled the movements Of their bodies
more quickly and ore accurately
than he could control the movements
Of his eyes. The chase was all over
in half the time It takes to tell It.,
but the excitement OF a pack OF hounds
after a fox was no greater. The bee
escaped, the bird giving up the chase
and alighting on a twig. 1t couldn't
have been chasing the bee for food,
and there is no possible explanation
Of Its unprOvOked attack, except that
It wanted all the honey itself.
