Edith Crater Is Divorced but Forbid
den to Sue New York "Hero."
DENVER, Colo, March 5.-Tate has
come to the rescue of Wilson Miner,
the California soldier of fortune, who
married Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes a
month after her husbands death.
Miner may breathe easy so far as
Edith Crater-Saam of Denver is con-
cerned. The suit which Mrs. Saam Cor
Miss CRATER had threatened against
Miner, will not get outside the office
of former Judge Amos Stack, her at
torney.
A dowry of 1000 which Miner
was said to have promised her to for
get that she ever bore his name, need
not be paid; in fact, Miner may come
to Denver at any moment he chooses,
stay as long as he pleases and fear
nothing.
The end of the threatened litigation
came late last evening when Judge
Charles W. Mccall in secret chambers
granted a decree of divorce to Edith
Crater-Saam from her husband, Harry
A. Saam. At the same time Judge Nc
Call advised Mrs. Saam and her law
yer, Amos Stack, that she had no
grounds for action against another
man.

A Flfmsv Craft.

While 1t Is rarely employed by Euro
peans as n method OF travel, even In
emergencies, the catamaran Of the
Madras fishermen of India is by all
odds the most extraordinary of water
vehicles. 1t consists simply of three
logs dashed together and flush with tie
surface OF the water. On these fish
erman sometimes two or more fisher
mem stands and with single oar pad
dies himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft ana
even in weather when boats cannot be
launched he will go through the surf
and out to slips with letters, for the
delivery of which he gets few pence
In order to catch their ships few be-
lated travellers have been known to
trust themselves on catamarans. They
are united in the statement that the
ride on the logs was the. most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
In land that holds new thrill for the
stranger at every turn. The sea and
an occasional ducking have no terrors
for these natives, not even the eX'
tremely young. and in reality the cata-
maran is not entirely to be scorned, for
it Is, after oil, nonsinkable.

IncOnveniently Tall.

The mayor of one Of the communes
of Augcrs had ordered gamekeeper
and butcher to take a mailman named
Legrand to the st. Gemines lunatic
asylum. On the way the gamekeeper
noticed that their charge was in one Of
his lucid intervals and concluded that
he would never consent to be handed
over to the authorities. 1t was decided,
therefore, to make him drunk. and all
three adjourned to the nearest inn. Le-
grand took his liquor kindly. So did the
others And when the trio arrived at
the asylum the governor could not
make head or tail of their story. He
therefore wired to the mayor. asking
him which was the man who was to
be detained. The mayor replied Le-
grand, but the telegraphist spelled 1t In
two words, lie grand the tall one).
The governor. ON examining the three
men, saw that one was much taller
than the others. so he promptly clapped
him into strait waistcOast and sent
the other two away. 1t was three days
later before the error was discovered.

bismarck FOrgnve.

Bismarck could forgive, but he
wished to do it after proper soliclta-
ton. At the beginning Of the Danish
war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was
at the head Of the Pruss!an troops, was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
be telegraphed not to advance farther.
and he returned message telling
King William that "these diplomatists
who spoil the most successful opera
lions deserve the gallows." After that
Bismarck ignored him completely. and
one day they met ut the kings table.
where it was especially awkward to
preserve GOODNESS. Wrangel called
everybody "du." and presently he
turned to Bismarck. who was seated
next him. and said, "My son, canst
thou not forget?" mo" was the curt
reply. After pause Wrangel began
again, "My son, canst thou not for
give?" with all my heart" said Bis
marck. and the breach was healed.

Redwood forests are practically I'M
harmed by forest fires. and it is COM
mon practice for the lumbermen to fell
the trees and peel the bark from them
and when the dry season Is on set fire
to the felled timber and burn the
branches and bark and other wreckage
without practical injury to the saw
logs. which procedure would mean dis
aster to any other wood. Redwood
contains no resin or turpentine Of any
kind. and, owing to Its great resistant
qualities In severe climatic conditions.
Is free from cracking or decay. where
cinders might lodge and start fires.
When burning, it is easily extlnguished
with small quantity Of water. 1t has
the appearance of burnt cork and Is
