MaInmast Goes by Board.

The gale came out of the south-south- west, suddenly veered to the south-south- east and blew with renewed force. The quick shifting of the wAld cut up big cross sea- and the Austria labored heavi- ly. Soon the mainmast went by the board. As the big stick crashed to the deck Hen " Webster and Alfred West were caught in the wreckage and badly injured. Mrs. Robinson helped take them to her cabin, where she dressed their wounds. AS she was ascending tEa companionway she heard another crash. and, gaining the deck. saw the foremast trailing in the sea.
 A furious blast laid the Austria over on her beam, and as she lighted some of her deck cargo went overheard. A little can vas was then spread on the remaining mast and the ship started before the wind. The strain had opened up her seams. The pumps were manned. and for days and nights that seemed like years they were kept going.
 Man after man dropped in his tracks, but after a short rest and cheering word from the shippers wife he went to work again. The mems hands became blistered and stuck fast to the pump ham dies. Mrs Robinson prepared bandages for them Half the crew fell from ex- haustion. Then Mrs. Robinson, who had slept but little for many days and had worked with the best of them, showed what a sea captains wife can do.

From the New York World.
 A thrilling story of the wreck of the British bark Austria off Hatteras and the rescue of her crew was brought into port yesterday by the Atlas line steamer Altai, from the West Indies. On the liner were Capt. w. C. Robinson, his wife and the sixteen members of the crew of the ill., fated ship. That all are alive is due in great measure to the herolsm of Mrs. Rob- inson.
 The Austria sailed from Gulfport, Mss on September with lumber for Rio de Janeiro. Three days later she ran into a storm. and was driven miles out of her course. Then the weather cleared and the bark had hardly got well started before she was struck by the hurricane that has played havoc on the Atlantic for the past fortnight.

What a Little Thing Can Do.

An interesting sample of what a lit

read it and Immediately conceived the
idea that the bank had quit business on
Novemi er 10. He told another man
what he had seen in the paper, and this
man told another. and SO on, until a
mob of breathless and excited men and
women and children was lined up in
front Of the banks doors. They with
drew upwards of $40, coo before the run
was stopped, which was soon done
when the management ascertained the
cause of the trouble.

Fines Intellectual.

Punishment is designed not simply to
exact penalty for crime, but to prevent
repetition Of crime by the punished as
well as by others. When punishment
fits the crime, the purpose is in a meas
ure effected; but when it is incommen-
surate, the intention is frustrated.
This is the experience of the world
since its beginning.
Recently the courts have fined several
violators of the antitrust and anti-re-
bate laws. The fines were merely
nominal. They nowhere near fitted the
crime They were incommensurate
both as penalty and as preventive.
The action of the courts has been
source of keen disappointment to the
American people. The question has
been raised as to whether or not it will
be better so to amend the laws, as to
abolish fines and impose imprisonment
Discussing the matter Mr.. BRYAN
declares that Imprisonment is the ONLY
punishment that will deter rich and
powerful men from committing crime
Fines have proven Intellectual. Prison
bars alone provide the preventive
necessary. Mr.. Bryan's declaration is
receiving endorsement the country

AS Seen From Republican Stand
point.

The New York Press, Republican
paper, describes the New York situa-
ton in this way: THE tremendous
vote polled by the Democratic candi-
dates on the state ticket, outside of
Hearst, show two things beyond de-
bate: One-that Dir. Hughes was saved
by Democrats who have no use for the
Republican party except as an instru-
ment to STAY Hearst. Two-that
Hearst has cut the Republican party
into ribbons. The large, appalling
vote given to Republics when Demo-
cratic support is subtracted can mean
only one thing: Governor-elect Hughes
and the Republican legislature must
put an end to the conditions that have
enabled Hearst to take Republican
voetS away from the party by tens of
thousands. They must make the corpo-
rationS the servants, not the masters of
the public. They must break the grasp
OF the traction trust, the gas monopoly,
the financial autocracy and the corpora
ton mercenaries on legislation and
public Offices"

The Popular Idea a Mistaken One

The popular idea that the governor
ship of New York IS stepping stone
to the presidency will be rudely shatter-
ed when it is recalled that in thirty
years only one New York governor has
removed from Albany to the White
House, and his<zname was Grover Cleve-
land. Mr.. Roosevelt left the state
house at Albany to become vice presi-
dent, not to become president.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

A statement given ont hy the otticla :
spf the Interior Department claim to have
saved the people of Oklahoma "schcol
lands containing OIL and othe' minerals
which are estimated to be worth be
tween 81 100000 and >2,000,0o0. "The
statement makes the claim" says the
Washin.ton Post, nat Secretary Hitch
co ok discovered early in March that an
amendment had been slipped into the
Statehood bill in the senate known IS
the Warren amendmenN, and that the
secretary. on looking into the matter,
reached the conclusion that the claims
of the parties who would benefit by the
amendment were entirely without merit,
and that the whole scheme bore some
reese m blance to raid upon the tire sury.'
This is a serious charge against Senator
Warren, ana from the fact that Secretary
Hitchcock submitted confidential brief
to the conference committee OF congress,
showin- thai nc a.n ndment covered a
deliberate steal, there would seem little
doubt, as the committee struck ont the
amendment, that it considered the
.charses true.
Senator Wanen's constituents should
inquire into this matter, especially those
repu blicans who are honest, foi it is i'm
possible to expect those who have SO far
escaped the fitchcock land fraud net in
Wyoming To 20 back on the senator.

The Culture Club.

The program of the Club last
Sunday was very good and the
participants did very creditable.
The feature Of the program was
the address by Hon. Geo. w.
Murray, judge of the Sangamon
County and Juvenile courts. The
speech was one of admonition,
exortatiOn and information. The
language used was simple and
comprehensive, but none the less
strong and convincing. He de-
clar d that the older persons had
a large responsibility resting
upon their shoulders and the
young people were in their own
light if they failed to avail them
selves of the noble opportunities
by which they are surrounded.
The judges whole soul seemed
to be with what he was anxious
to convey. He painted a beau
tiful picture of a boy breaking
the home ties, departing for a
distant land amidst the tears of a
loving mother, etc. He plead for
a moral, intellectual and social
improvement and declared in
substance that, the colored peo-
pie are part and parcel of this
great republic and the elevation
of every individual is the eleva-
ton of the government.
The entire program was good,
but the program committee err
roneously Saw fit to prolong the
program, making things become
mOnOtOnOuS.
