FOG DELAYS The BIG SHIP
tania owing 20 Bad weather
Conditions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-A message from
the Mauretania states that It may not
reach It's dock today. High tide is neces-
sary to make It absolutely safe to bring
the big ship up tho bay, and It was still fog
bound when the tide reached its maximum
this morning. The prospects were that the
ship would have to wait until the next
high tide at $3.50 p. m,
Soon after leaving Queenstown last Sun
day morning the big steamer ran into a
severe storm, which lasted the better part
Of three days. Terrific hesdseas and high
gales retarded the splendid speed OF the
vessel and by the time these conditions
changed II was known by means Of wire
less telegraphy that the westward record
OF its sister ship, the Lusitania, could not
be eclipsed on this trip. However, the
steamer was put to top speed, and some
balm was offered to those on board when
the steamers run for the fourth day
showed 624 knots, thus topping the Lusi-
tania. which took the blue ribbon for the
best days run on the last voyage by six
knots. It was believed then that the
Mauretania would reach Sandy Hook by
daybreak Friday, but hope was shattered
when the Mauretania ran into a dense fog
of the New England coast, late last night,
and speed necessarily had to be materially
reduced.
The marine observer at Sandy Hook re-
norted that the thickest fog in many a day
hung all along the coast and that he had
looked into a blank wall Of white through
out the night. Steamers can only crawl to
such weather so that 1t will probably be
well on in the forenoon, at the earliest, be-
fore the Mauretania can reach the Sandy
Hook lightship. Thus It will be from nine
! to a dozen hours behind the best record OF
the Lusitania.
When the fog lifted shortly before p
M, the Mauretania was seen lying at
! anchor outside OF Sandy Hook bar.

The Headquarters Committee of
the Anti-Saloon League of Mary
land has decided to enter upon an
active political campaign and re-
ports a decisive victory in the first
clear cut contest for the next leg
islature.
Mr.. w. L. Richards, of Bruins
wick, member of the last House
of Delegates, was active in trying
to secure the repeal of the prohi-
bition clause in the Brunswick
charter and this year was candi-
date for the senatorial nomination.
He was opposed by the auti-saloon
forces of Brunswick, ably second
ed by the effective organization of
the Frederick County Anti-Saloon
League, working in harmony with
the State League, and failed to Sc
cure the nomination.
The League is also sending to
every pastor in the state a request
for list of the voting membership
OF his church, with the party pref
erence indicated, and suggestion
that a picked committee of three
be named from each church.
These lists are to be used for the
purpose of sending out informa-
ton as to the attitude of candidates
upon the temperance question just
prior to the election.

C0LER CUTS THE SOAP BILLS
But He Nearly Wrecked A Subordi
Mates Happy Home In Doing 1t

The mystery of the decrease in
the soap bills of the public baths
in Brooklyn, which has been puz-
cling Comptroller Metz, has at last
been solved. a great light has
been thrown on the matter by Bo1-
ough President Coler, and the be-
lief which was gaming ground in
the Finance Department that the
good folks of Brooklyn had con-
tracted a sudden dislike for soap
and water has happily been dis
PEELED.
1t appears that in the baths in
Brooklyn about 100, 900 cakes of
soap are used each year. Some
time ago one of the bright Young
men in the Borough President S
Office told Mr.. Coler that the max
ers of a certain brand of soap which
was larkely used, would give a bar
of soap for every FIVE of their soap
wrappers returned to them. Mr..
Coler's mind Immediately collided
with an idea.
Il see a great chance to econo-
mize," said.she. with 100000
wrappers we can get $1,000 bars
of soap. Send for the man in
charge. "
In a few minutes the man
through whose hands the supplies
of soap pass stood before the Bor-
oughsPresident.
What do you do with the soap
wrapper" inquired Mr., Coler.
The soap man twirled his hat in
his hand and gazed out of the Win
dow.
Why, er-er-er I save them, )"
he answered.
Good" remarked Borough
President. Bring them here to-
morrow"
The.soap man shifted from one
foot to the other and seemed to be
i'll at ease. But Mr.. Coler did not
noticeshis worried looks as he de-
parted. On the following morn
ing the soap man again presented
himself before the Borough Presi-
dent,
"Mr. Coler," announced he ner-
vously and gloomily, the soap
wrappers are here
"Where?" asked the President,
observing that the man carried no
package.
for answer the soap man beck
oned Mr.. Coler to a window. Be-
low in Joralemon street was stand
ing big truck loaded with furni-
ture. There was handsome oak
sideboard, a brass bedstead, a
whatnot, two or three rugs, sever
al barrels of crockery, a morris
chair and lot of other things.
"There are the soap wrappers,
sir" said the gloomy and appar-
emily troubled official.
"What do you mean?" asked
the puzzled Borough President.
Then the embarrassed man made
a clean breast OF it.
The company which makes the
soap he explained, gives pre-

A MAID OF ATHENS, OHIO.
A story of One Of Many Thousands
from which others Nay Learn.

Two months ago a beautiful
young married woman left Athens
with a man who was not her hus-
band, her purpose was that of all
humanity, to secure happiness.
She had tired of her husband; had
met the man who is always waiting
to lead a beautiful wife astray,
and finally concluded to give up
responsibility and all chance of an
honorable reputation in the future,
in order to CRAFTY a probably
transient intatuation for a scoun-
drel.
Well, she escaped the humdrum
of quiet home life and the worry of
her children, and she found the
excitement and stimulation of
wicked adventure. Off to the West
she went with her lover and pre-
sumably enjoyed to the full the
physical and other pleasures which
are said to accompany SHINING in
pairs. She had change Of scene,
a change Of air, a change of habit,
a change of diet, along with travel,
gaiety, total freedom from cooking,
sewing and housekeeping togeth-
er with the relief that comes from
not always having to see the same
face at meal time.
Of course this woman having
had several years experience with
genuine, lawful husband, suppos-
ed that her lover would cherish her
forever after she had made the
supreme sacrifice of duty, honor
and virture, to crafty his passion
for her. They all think that, but
as unusually happens, the man in
this case, being william to begin
with, and having neither moral
sense nor fear of God in his heart,
soon tired Of her, and left her in
humble lodgings away offin Denver
He simple "shook her" as the
saying goes among men of that
stripe; heartlessly deserted her to
shift Tor herself.
1t was then probably, that the
beautiful young woman began to
see things in their true light, and
realized to the full what she had
done in defying the laws Of NOR
ality and of society. Now comes
the news from Denver, under date
of June 20, that she was found dead
"a suicide-with a letter of for
giveness from her Abandoned hus-
band in one hand and his photo
graph in the other Ah.-When
lovely woman stoops to folly.
And finds too late that men be-
tray; What charm can sooth her
melancholy?
What art can wash her guilt
away?
In this case we can all breathe
prayer for the soul of the wilful,
passionate, needless woman who,
having made an irreparable error,
finally came to her senses, and
then, appalled, by her guilt and
shame, destroyed her life with her
husbands letter of forgiveness in
one hand, and his photograph in
the other-mute witnesses, we trust
of her abundant repentance!-Gal-
lipolis (O.) Tribune.

Say" he remarked to his victim,
do you not think Grant'l get the nom

Artemus looked up from his book,
gazed curiously at the stranger, and
| said:
"Grant-Grant-who Is Grant?"
Paralyzed for a, moment, the inquisi-
tor exclaimed:
you don't mean to say that you
never heard of General U. s. Grant2"
Never heard of him." answered
Artemus, solemnly.
This confession dazed the bore for a
few minutes, but he returned to the
charge. They say old Greeley is
ag'in' him.

rected at the bore. Greeley" Ward

Meantime Artemus was reading his
