NEW YORK, August lS.-Captaius OF

doubt wondered why there was a
swarm Of kites floating about the ship.
The kites hid the funnel and the masts
and must have presented q peculiar
sight FOR passing shippers. Captain
Clubb explained the situation when his
ship arrived yesterday.
II was all because OF Low Tick. Low

officers he is nuisance. He became
III just before the Satsuma touched At
Singapore and continued So until long
after the vessel had cleared from that
port. The kites were the result. Lows
shipmates. all OF them Chinese. believed
that the evil spirits were after their
colleague, and the kite, strung from
every possible boom. rail and line on
the ship, were hit upon as the only
effective weapon against the intrusive
demons.

into a southwest monsoon and the big

What Caused the Storm.
Then it seemed to Mr.. Foote that his
Chinese hremeE were no longer amiablc
toward him. and their attitude contIn-
ued to be less cordial when Won Keo
Tin. one Of the chief engineers "trus-
ties" confded TO him that the reason
of the fremen's suTllness was that he
desecrated their joss and affronted their
religious ideas by using the gourd con-
tanning the sacred incense as weapon
for physical culture. The monsoon, they
thought. was the result Of this indiscre-
ton. II took Mr. FOOte some time to
convince his frcmen That be did not
know that the gouTd contained any
thing, mach less the incense calculated
TO drive of undesirable spirits.

The Rude Janitor.

Bishop McVicar, of Providence,
said of tedious sermons:
"The worst case of this kind that
l ever heard of occurred in Phila-
delphia, where 1 used to live.
"There was little old church on
the outskirts of Philadelphia that
had an old clergyman who was noted
for the dryness of his sermons.
"It is said that one Sunday morn
ing the old gentleman preached a
sermon so amazingly long and dull
that the congregation diminished
one by one until only the janitor and
himself we're left.
"But the clergyman, apparently
unconscious of all this, kept right on
until the janitor, seeing no prospect
of relief, finally gave in also, and,
handing up the keys to the minister,
said:
"I'm off. You can lock up the
church when you're through"

Can't Keep a Good Thing Down j!

Vermillion, s. d., July 21.-For
some unknown reason the steamboat
North Alabama, which struck a
snag and sunk in 1870, six miles be-
low here, suddenly reappeared on
the surface of the Missouri river last
evening, and to-day hundreds of peo-
pie are viewing the spectacle. The
boat was bound from Sioux City to
the Yellowstone district, loaded with
flour and whiskey, when it sank. 1t
is supposed a change in the current
washed away earth deposited above
and around the boat, allowing it to
rise again. There were fifty barrels
of whiskey aboard, and already a
hunt has begun to locate the liquor,
which has had thirty years of ripen-
ing. Owing to the fact that mud
and sand have filled up much of the
interior of the boat it has been i'm.
possible to get at the whiskey as yet.
When it is reached South Dakota's 8
prohibition laws will undoubtedly be
very severely tested.

Miss Hyde was brought to Atlanta

to the Grady Hospital, and though
everything possible was done to re-

little response to their efforts until
early yesterday morning, when she
informed her nurse that she was in a
hypnotized condition; that she is in
constant telepathic communication
with her hypnotizer, who is her
sweetheart, Watt Ward, of Green

Her statement is confirmed by her
brother, John Hyde, who is now at

"Whlskey Is He'll |"

The following is taken from the
Associated Press report of the de-
bate on the "pure food" bill in the
House of Representatives:
Mr.. Stanley, of Kentucky, went on
to demonstrate how the "blender"
makes offended" whiskey. He had
no objection to any body blending
two kinds of whiskey, but he did
object to making whiskey while you
wait. Then taking bottle from the
table he poured it into graduate
and said:
"Here is quart of alcohol, one
hundred proof strong. II will eat
the intestines out of a coyote. 1t
will make bowling dervish out of
an anchorite. 1t will make rabbit
spit in a bull dogs face. 1t is pure
alcohol, and under the skill of the
rectifier he will put in little color.

Sensational Moral Shake Up.

The killing Of Stanford White, the
we'll known architect, by Harry
Kendall Thaw, the young millionaire,
at Madison Square roof garden re-
Gently promises to lead to sensa-
tional moral shake up, the like of
which has not been known in New
York for a great many years. The
papers have been printing pages
about the matter and there are a
great many more pages yet to come.
AS the situation now appears from
Thaw's side, White had betrayed
Mrs. Thaw before her marriage and
was still pursuing her. Newspaper
stories make it appear that White
was moral leper of the worst kind.
He is represented to have ruined
scores of young women, but because
of his high position, financially and
professionally, he was never brought
to account. Thaw's immediate fam
lily is said to be worth nearly $780,
100000, and there are evidences of
their purpose to expose Whites past
life in all it's details. White, thought
to have been wealthy, has been liv-
ing beyond his means, aud his estate
is not sufficient to wipe out his
debts. He leaves millionaire
brother, who will defend his name.
Thaw has plead not guilty to the
murder. Mrs. Thaw, it is under
stood, will tell all about her past
relations with White and give lot
of other information about him.
