A MODERN MIRACLE.

"Truly miraculous seemed the re-
covery of Mrs. Mollie Holt OF this
place" writes J.O.R. Hooper, Wood
ford, Tenn, ''she was SO wasted by
coughing up puss from her lungs.
Doctors declared her end so near that
her family watched by her bedside
forty. eight hours; when, at my urgent
request Dr. Kings New Discovery was
givon her, with the astonishing result
that Improvement began, and contin-
ued until she finally completely re
covered, and is healthy woman to
day" Guarnteed cure for coughs and
colds. Doc and 81 90 att. L. Jackson,

FORTUNE IN A SHIP.
VESSEL RETURNS WITH SlNo,-
600 IN WHALE BONE.
One of the Fleet Which Escaped Ice
Is Back in Port with Sixteen
Bowheads Which Were Slain
on Profitable Voyage.

San Franeisco.-The steam whsler
William Baylies. with a fortune IN
whalebone slowed away in her hold. has
arrived from the arctic. The Baylies
and the Monterey were the only vessels
of the arctic feet to escape from the ice.
The Monterey was in company with the
Baylies until the ice assumed a threat
ening aspect. On account OF her dimin-
utive size the Monterey started for home.
After she left the Baylies began TO catch
whales and had no more trouble with
the ice.
To the harpoons of the William Bay
lies there fell 10 bowhead whales. which
yielded 10000 pounds of bone. This
bone, under ordinary circumstances,
would be worth from 50 to So a pound.
The Imprisonment in the ice OF the re-
mainder of the fleet. however. will have
the effect of increasing the worth OF the
Baylies' catch to 81 or IS a pound.
From captain TO green hands all are paid
for the voyage a certain proportion OF
lay of the value of the catch. This pro-
portion varies according 20 the man S
rating. The green hands whose inter
! est is something more than two-hun-
dredths, are paid on basis OF $3.50 q
pound
Capt. Bodfish master OF the William
! Baylies, will receive more than $1C.vO1
for his eight months work. His mate
will get $4,000, second mate $1,000. anc
/ SO on down the line. The green HANDS
will receive $500 each, less the amour,
| charged against them. In the latter
case the process used in fixing the value
of the bone is reversed. For bone worth
So the green hand is paid $3.50 pound
and for shirts worth so cents he is
charged So. When the green hands OF
the William Baylies receive what is left
! of that $500 they may realize something
Of the true meaning of frenzied finance
But some of them will go whaling mex
year.
The biggest whale caught by the VIII.
liam Baylies yielded 1900 pounds oil
bone. Apart from its financial success
the cruise was uneventful and the VIII
liam Baylies brought back all her boats
intact. She did not even shiver bel
timbers.
