COWARDICE OF CAPTAIN
PREVENTED SAVING LIFE
Il Is Claimed That Many Of the unfor-
Inmates on the Valencia Might Have
Been Rescued by the Queen.

San Francisco, Cal.-The steamer
Queen, Captain James Cousins, has
arrived from Puget sound ports and
the scene of the wreck of the Valencia.
Directly conflicting stories are told by
those on board regarding the failure
of the Queen to rescue any Of the
people who were seen clinging to the
rigging or huddled on the afterdeck
of the rapidly sinking vessel.
Chief Boatswain's Mate G. P. Jor-
gensen Of the cruiser Philadelphia,
who with twenty sailors belonging to
that vessel came down on the Queen.
severely scores the officers of that
vessel. He says:
II was standing on the forward deck
and could plainly see the men and
women on the Valencia volunteered
to man a lifeboat with my men and
attempt to rescue some Of the imper-
lied ones 1t was a life and death
chance. but we all we're willing to
take it. The captain would not con-
sent, and so we he'd to stand by ann
watch the signals of distress. After
two hours, during which no attempt
was made to launch boat, the Queen
put back to Victoria"
Chief Boatswain's Mate D. s. Sui
livan corroborated Jorgenson's state
ment that the Philadelphia's mer
were willing to undertake to save al
the lives possible, but they were pre-
vented from doing so by Captain
Cousins. Sullivan also charges tina
the officers of the Gear and Salvol
were too timid to take the risks neces
sary to rescue those on the Valencia
Captain Cousins denies the state
ments of the bluejackets, saying:

the conquering of woman's dread

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands OF
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
ton with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
aeats is simple in the extreme, local
s.aughtering will long remain fac.
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"About three years ago had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
had tumor.
II felt sure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. Ispent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the Uumor kept
| growing till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me- Fortunately
corresponded with my aunt in one Of the New
England States who advised me to try Lydia
g. PinlIhan'sV egetable Compound before sub
hitting to an operation, and at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve. and after three months | noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper-
alton, and using no medicine but Lydia e.

rhe basis of all foods consists Of at
least four essential elements; but 1t
does not follow that all these ele-
ments will be present in equal pro-
portions in various life sustaining
substances. Thus, weight for weight.
bread contains more carbon than
meat, and meat more nitrogen than
bread. These theoretical considera-
lions are borne out by observed
facts. Modern researches have shown
that there is an intimate relation sub
sisting between the quality and guam
tity of food taken and the kind OF
work or energy" into which 1t Is
eventually transformed. Hence a
mans diet ought to depend in great
part on his work.

JUST MAKING 4 FRESH start.
Boy Well Knew Bishop Wasn't Near
End Of Sermon.

The late Bishop Eastburn OF Massa-
chusetts was a man of very imposing
appearance, and when robed in his big
sleeved eanonicals gave the impress
sion of sailing under full canvas. In
the pulpit he had habit Of drawing
himself up at intervals, with chest
raised and head thrown back. which
gave him a very pompous air.
A little boy of Newburyport, not
fully Injured to long sermons, and
weaTying under his heavy periods,
mildly suggested to his mother that he
would like to "cut the rest of it," but
she tried to beguile him with the as
surance that the good man was just
ready to stop, when he eagerly re
piled: "Oh. no. mamma, he isn't
cause he's just blowed hisself VI

 Think of it a moment. This sum represents the average yearly salary of the working women of this section Of the country. Ii represents a sum equallng the salary of the average working man for the same length of time that the contest will run

An ingenious Couch .

The most ingenious arrangement or a couch was accomplished in room so tiny that all earlier heroic enueavors to get couch into that room had fail ed. The arrangement as it was promptly dubbed, was nothing more or less than a frame with woven wire springs and little mattress. which was fastened securely to the springs themselves It was attached to the wall by strong hinges and folded up out of the way under an innocent look ing curtain that pretended to be only interested in the bookshelves from which 1t hung The couch was provid- ed with two strong supports. which were sprung into place and stayed put until the spring was released. To all intents and purposes the couch didn't exist except when it was wanted, and, as it only needed space when in use, it didn't interfere in the least with any other arrangement of the room.
