Stories of Castaways.

Like the old-time Roman poet, some
of the pioneers in exploration shud-
dered at the watery mountains in mo-
ton; but they were driven seward, in
many instances against their wills, by
adverse gales. The virile Vikings,
long before Columbus put in an ap-
pearance, had accidentally discovered
what is now known as North America;
and Left. son of Eric the Red. is said
to have founded colonies 900 years ago
where Boston and New York now
stand. Island after island in the
Pacific was doubtless peopled in some
measure by castaways who had start
ed out from some lonely islet under
suspicious omens. intending to return
at nightfall, but who were caught in
an unexpected Cyclonic storm and
driven many miles to leeward of their
island home. Some of them persisted
miserahly at sea; some died from ex-
hauStiOn, after arrival at an unknown
land, and some remained just where
they gained safety and eventually for
got whence they came. A recent
number of the Chilean Times reminds
US that even in the twentieth century
successors to Robinson Crusoe are not
altogether unknown, although their
WanderngS do not always have so
happy a termination. 1t is reported
that on the shore of GuafO Island there
have been discovered the remains of 4
ships hull, many packages of cargo, a
number of skeletons and ships spar
bearing the inscription "Castleson,
Newport"
Some years ago the American sailing
ship Joseph Spinney, when about two
hundred miles from the Pellew Islands,
rescued an old chief and five other ma
lives Of that group who had been blown
out to sea in an open boat. They had
Eeen Is days without food, were just
about to kill and eat the 16-year- old son
of TIE chief when the vessel bore down
Oh the curious object to reconnoitre,
and two of the castaways died despite
| the most careful nursing and the good
food supplied to them by the master of
| the Joseph Spinney.
While on her way from Australia to
China the American bark Tewkesbury
| L. Sweat was wrecked on one Of the
Caroline islands during a hurricane
The castaways lived with the savages
for seven months; then. grown tired Of
| involuntary exile, they sailed 1000
| miles in boats and canoes and were
eventually picked up by another yes
sci and taken to Honolulu. A few of
the old-time American whaleships met
with curious adventures in the Pacific
| ocean. and the men not infrequently
preferred life of sensuality and ease
on one of the islands rather than risk
| their lives in pursuit of the crafty
cetacean for return scarcely worth
| mentioning. And there were some
whaleships under Old Glory in those
| days! Commodore Wilkes, U. S. n.

struction of this line. but this has not
been officially announced. The CO.
lumbia line will be an improvement
over the present Northern Pacific sys-
tenn. as it will follow the river the
greater part of the distance and will
not be as liable to suffer from wash
outs.
The inability of the Northern Pacific
to handle the freight traffic has been
admitted many times the past year by
the officials of the road, but it is said
that they are doing their best to keep
the trains moving. Legal proceed
ings have been threatened by concerns
and individuals whose business has
been injured because Of the railway
company's inability to handle the trade.
The people in Washington are about
as excited over the real estate question
as Eastern people are over the stock
market. 1t is a great country and
many fortunes have been made in real
estate deals in the two principal cities
the past few years. However, with
the princira. industries threatened be-
cause of the inadequate railway faclll-
Sies Mr.. Finnigan doubts whether the
pre- sent real estate values will be main
tanned the next year or two.

TO STOP SEEMING.
Canada Will Issue No Licences After
This Season for ChampIain.

Stowe. Vt, March 2i.-State Fish and
Game Commissioner II. G. Thomas is in
receipt Of 4 communication from Minis
ter Provost Of Quebec saying that he has
done all in his power to prevent scining
at the Canadian end OF Lake Champlain;
that his efforts have been in vain so far
as this year is concerned, but that the
practice will be forbidden thereafter.
Mr.. Thomas has also received Il letter
from DIR. J. r. Finnie of Montreal. n vicn
president Of the North American Fish
and Game Protective Association, that
SEEMING is to be permitted this year by
Canadian authorities with q reduced
nummber Of licenses, assuring him. how
ever, that no licenses will be issued after
this season.
1t was understood by Commissioner
Thomas that the Canadians would put a
stop to this practice this year, q prac-
tical agreement to that effect having been
reached. The seirine is particularly in
furious to American interests, as the
government operates n pike hatchery at
Swanton, near the border line.

SOCIALISM AND CHARITY"
Attorney General Bonaparte Gives
Lecture at Carnegie Hall.

New York, March 24-Attorney Cen
eral Charles J. BOnapartc lectured at
Carnegie hall tonight on Socialism
and Charity" The occasion was a ben
eft for the Society of St. Vincent De
Paul of the city of New York Arch
bishop John NJ. Farley presided and in
introducing the attorney general, said
ir rart:
81 had the honor a short time ago to
be speaking with His Excellency. the
President OF the United States. ana in
our con-ersa ton the President referred
TO Mr.. Bonapartc and to another in the
highest terms. The President told me
that he wanted such men to take Of
flee. Men who were willing to make
personal sacrifices for the good of their
country He said that the spectacle Of
such men working for the cause Of
good government would be an incentive
to well-to-do young men OF the coun-
try to do likewise. l take great pleas
ure in introducing to YOU the first
Catholic citizen Of the United States"
Mr.. Bonaparte said in part:
1T has been said on high authority
that the poor need mot aims. but a
friend: l should say rather that they
need both.
"As have said on another occasion,
the root of Socialism is the doctrine that
all men of right ought to be and should
there be made and kept. precisely

~ dogma. n pure assumption. justified

olution extends. that To question its
truth even now. seems to certain class
of teachers and thinkers little short OF

"In its original and salutary form.
and as it found echo in our Declaration
OF Independence. the cry for equality
was coupled with one for liberty ana
in this company. it amounted to pro-
test against arbitrary and oppressive
privileges. against the distinctions JUS
tilted by no material difference. TO de-
mand that the law give every man

equality was inconsistent with 'liber-
ty.' and they must choose between
them: they recognized in fact. though
