ON A DESERT ISLE.
Stranded Fisherman Lives Fourteen
Days on q Grab and Seal.


Days on Crab and Seal.
After battling with the elements for
four days in an open boat, August
Kocht a fisherman Of the schooner
Stanley and formerly dragoon in the
Tsar's army, was stranded on the de-
sert island of Unimak, where he ex-
listed for fourteen days on a crab and
the carcass Of seal which he found
there, says the Seattle Times.
When he was picked up by the
schooner Alice, a codfishing boat from
Seattle, which had put into Dublin bay
for a supply Of water, Kocht was so
weak from hunger and cold that he
could barely creep on his hands and
knees and wave the signal Of distress
which brought him assistance.
On board the Alive. Kocht was fed
with whisky and milk and his swollen
limbs rubbed with alcohol. 1t was six
days before he was able to stand upon
his feet. Four hundred miles north Of
the point where he was picked up
Kocht was turned over to the schoon-
er Stanley, and arrived in port on
board that vessel.
While fishing for cod off the island
Of Unimak the dory which Kocht oc-
cupied was swept away from the
schooner Stanley by a terrific south
wester. For four days the distressed
fisherman battled with the waves. One
Of the oars broke under the strain the
second day. and he drifted helplessly.
Then the dory capsized half a mile
off the shore of the island. AS the
boat upset a heavy Goldfish hook
caught in the back of Kocht's left
hand. 1t was only by gnawing the
heavy twine with his teeth that the
fisherman succeeded in escaping from
the leash which held him to the
wrecked boat Kocht finally managed

 we have strong hopes of having something definite to report later or.' said Chairman John ". Tullis. Jr- of the Manufacturing Committee when called upon by President Forbes.

CHEERS FOR BRAND FRENCH CHAMBER EXPRESSES ITS
 CONFIDENCE. Opposition Rebuked For It's IntoIerant Splrit--f.lemencenu Cut . Sorry . Figure and Did Not
 Speak.

Paris, Feb, 19-By a majority of 351. the Chamber of Deputies today not only expressed confidence in the gov srnmcnt and authorized it to conclude fnegotiations for the leasing of churches [ to parish priests. but 1t endorsed with Storms of applause. remarkable speech by M. Briand, in which the ex- treme left was openly rebuked for its 'ntolerant spirit.
 The minister declared it was unwor- thy of republicans or even free thinkers, not to respect the faith of millions of their fellow countrymen. r The object of separation. he said. was dis establishment, not persecution. IIi- berty of worship, whether 1t be Cath ollie. protestant or Jewish must he re- spected. The Catholic Church was not like any other. It had seen it to for felt it's churches, seminaries and rec. tories which 1t might now. be in pos session. but this did not prevent the government from recognizing the right of Catholics to worship and the gov ernment therefore intended to keep the Catholic Churches open for Catholics and for no one else.
 When M. Briand had finished the is sue had been clearly defined. The fol. lowers of NJ. Combes alone and unsup-
  Premier Clemenceau cut rather T sorry figure today. Although he indi- cated his approval of all M. Briand said. he did not mount the tribunal and the leadership of the church question plainly had passed to his subordinate.
 M. Briand made the point that the law of January 2. specifically contem- plated contracts of occupation and that consequently the government was not exceeding it's powers. He took care not to reveal the text of the contract agreed upon, thus leaving latitude to give and take, should further obstacles arise. He announced, however, that the government would insert a clause in these contracts to prevent foreign priests or members of religious orders not resident in France, from becoming parties thereto. He admitted that tho government could not constrain tile Mayors who are at liberty to make any contract provided they were legal. but If they exercised their rights to refuse contracts. the government would be compelled not only to keep the churches open, but to maintain them at the expense of the commune.
 It is agreed tonight on all sides that a formula for the leases would soon bH found and that the most acute phase Of Nne church controversy is at an end

 In answer to calls for assistance. re- sulting from the two calamities of the year. the San Francisco earthquake and the Gulf Coast storm. Captain Forbes said the Club was the first in the country to act for the relief of the sufferers.
 He announced that the Alabama Di- vision, United Confederate Veterans. will hold their annual reunion In Montgomery this year.
 The president drew attention to the proposed location of the Methodist Conference College for Women in Montgomery. and he hoped the city would secure this institution, which would mean revenues of over si00.0oe to Montgomery annually.
 A promotion fund of s15.000 for 1907 to advertise Montgomery. was recommended by Captain Forbes, and he said this amount would enable the club to put an industrial agent in the field to take advantage of the many opportunities now offered to Iocate manufacturing enterprises and to con : tinue publicity.

"was but the beginning oi an area of prosperity. that will placa Montgomery in the first rank of the cities of the South. Looking with pleasure, as we must. on the gratify- ing results of this progressive move ment. 1t behooves us to continue this good work"

Our pledge to bring to Montgom- cry the homeseeker. the visitor, the Investor and the manufacturer has been faithfully performed. and at this tbne there are more prospects for man. ufacturing enterprises locating here than at any periad C. our history"
 This city and the State have never been so prosperous as they now are. Although Alabama's resources are still just on the eve of development. 1t has the prospect of becoming the greatest State of the Union, if It's developers are not retarded by unwise, drastic Legislation that will repel capital and cause 1t to seek other States for in- vestment. What we most need at this ime is more citizens, more capital to develop our mineral and agricultural resources and more railroad facilities to tanspot our commodities.
 The foregoing paragraphs were among the many topics touched on last night by President A. c. Forbes in his annual report to the Commercial Club of Montgomery. They were conspicuous among the many subjects which Captain Forbes discussed for the development of Montgomery and Alabama.
 Tn bringing to a close the sixteenth president said, ''it is gratifying to feel and know that you. your officers and committees. with the support of our progressive citizens, have ae- compIished more than could have been expected during the past twelve months"
 A little further on he said: Cast your eyes In any direction. and you will find Improvements in course of construction amounting to an invest met of over $2.000, ,000."
 Among the Improvements he mem tioned were three office buildings of the modern type, many fine apartment houses and hundreds of new homes.

There is great activit yaios being shown in the residence districts. Sev. eral manufactures have been estaS- lished, and others are Tn contemplation. The present conditions point to the fact that the Clubs dream of 1910 will be more than realized.
