Sailed Through Blood Red Sea.

FROM the hawaiian Star.
For hours the bark r.. +. Rithet, Cap
tain McPhail. sailed through a blood
red sea. What the stuff was that coll
ored the ocean such a strange hue is
unknown. but it is believed that some
submarine volcanic action so stirred
up the bottom during the big disaster
OF April Is that the top of the ocean
was colored for days after.
The Rithet arrived this morning, six
teen days from San Francisco, and with
her came Captain McPhail with his
report of the strange color of the sea.
The red sea was encountered the even
ing of April %, five days after the big
disaster in California. Captain Me-
Phail says that he noticed the strange
color of the sea when the vessel was
about $50 miles to the south and west
OF san Francisco, bound for Honolulu
The color was Il rusty reddish. 1t APP
peared in streaks about 80 to 100 feet
In width. These stroaks ran north and
south, and extended as far as the eye
could reach. In the morning there
was no further evidence of the strange
color.
one of the Acapulco steamers had
q similar experience, only the strea!s
were closer in toward the coast than
than those Captain McPhaii saw.

Apropos Of Pluck.


j. Pierpont Morgan, apropos Of pluck,
told in the saloon of the Celtic an inter-
esting story about a Clergyman who would
not be snubbed.
'lIe was an I,nglishman." said Mr.. Nor
gan, "and his richest parish.oner, Lady
Blank, used to hector him outrageou.ly.
He stood her stupid hcctoring for some
time. Then he came out fiat-fuoted against
her. Thereafter. he declared she must not
interfere.
Lady Blank thereafter put nothing in
the otfortory. AS the silver plate was
passed about, she would make n stately
inclination over it. and put nothing n.
well. after This had been going on for
a month or two. the elder in charge of the
plate los; his tcnper one morning, and
said bitterly TO the lady:
1--WE could do with less o. yer manners
and more % Yer silver. ma'am.'
This audible remark made a great sue
cess and a great scandal IN the church.
The clergyman. dining at a lords house.
repeated the story. and did not spare Lady
Blank.
"A roar vert up and Down the table. but
the lord. frowning black as a thunder
cloud. said:
Are you aware. sir. that Lady Blank
is a relative Of mine?'
The clergyman smiled slightly.
mo- he said. I wasn't: but In future.
when l tell the story, III always be care
full TO mention the relationship"

The burglar most to be feared these days
Is not the old time professional fellow who
worked in gangs and was an institution.
we have that fellow and most of his
kind so surrounded this way and that thai
there Is very little chance for him.
That is shown by an incident that oc-
CURED recently when a police magistrate
discharged a man who WAS in the Rogues'
gallery, and had been brought In by "A
headquarters man on general principles.
inasmuch as he had been warned to keep
away from town. The man told a straight
story to the judge and said as soon as his
brother got well or died he would leave
town again. The judge told the man he
could go. He had not gone three blocks
from the court room when he was picked
up by another man from Headquarters and
taken back to the court.
After he had been taken back three
times he finally got away to where he was
going.
The man who In any sense is a profess
sional crook of any nature cannot 20

York without being discovered, and when
