Brooklyn bridge. When the Florence
passed under the old bridge the Clare
mont was not 500 feet astern, and this
distance narrowed as both felt the full!
effects of the ebb tide.
The mate had the wheel now. and
the captain, with the navy revolver
resting on the pilot house window
ledge, watched the other boat. Dod=-
ing the great ferry boats, the chase kept
on until the Florence entered. the But
termilk channel. The Claremont came
abreast not twenty feet Of her star
board beam.
The captain leaned out Of the win
dow and pointed the revolver at Wolf
steen at the wheel of the Florence.
Signal to stop your engines or III
put a hole clear through you," be
shouted,
Wolfsteen took one look at the deter.
mined man behind the gun, and he fair
ly yelled with terror as he rang to
stop. The Florence came to a halt just
of the gap in the Atlantic basin, and
the Claremont ran alongside. Captain
McNeill led the boarders, who were
armed with whatever they could pick
up. They met with no resistance.
"Tie them hand and foot" said Cap
tain McNeill, and it was done. Then
the two boats returned to the Quay
street pier, where the prisoners were
handed over to policeman.

DRUGGED The BURGLARS.
But tho Woman Herself Fell Asher
and Thieves Woke Up.

But tho Woman Herself Fell Asleep
and Thieves Woke Up.
Mrs. Mary Sharp thought she would
be a clever sleuth when she returned
to her home, 1868 Scranton road, 8. W.,
Cleveland, O., on a recent evening and
found two burglars fast asleep on her
bed. To insure their capture she pro-
cured a bottle of chloroform, put them
deeper into sunderland and then start
ed for the telephone to summon the po-
lice. She became faint, however, and
dropped upon a bed In an adjoining
room, thinking the dizzy spell would
pass of in q few minutes. Instead she
fell fast asleep herself and when she
awoke the next morning learned to her
chagrin that the burglars had vanished
with her valuables and much other
booty. ..,
In their flight one Of them dropped
his pipe, and with it as evidence Po,
liceman Unterzuber arrested Charles
Frank and Leon Alger. They were
bound over to the grand jury.

Cured by Stage Device.

James Benham, a grocer, has cured
his wife of nervousness and insomnia
by a stage device.
He saw in a medical journal that
the patter of raindrops on the ROOF
would cure sleeplessness. Getting g
theater employe to help him, he rig
ged up a thunder and lighting maker
on the tin roof of his house near his
bedroom. When darkness came he
sent his son out with the garden hose
and urged his wife to go to bed, say.
ing it looked like rain.
Soon the rumble of thunder and
flashes of lightning were followed by
the patter of raindrops on the roof
and in few minutes Mrs. Benham
was asleep. Benham says the trick
has worked a complete cure.-Cleve'

KANSAS IGNORED TILLr1AN.
Little Attention to His Rantings in the
Sunflower State.

SunflOWer SIdte.
1t cannot be charged against Kan
sas that it habitually hides it's light
under a bushel or that it is negligent
in reporting current affairs in this
branch of the national vineyard for
the common information, so that the
fact that Senator Tillman came to
Kansas, delivered his lecture, which
has created everywhere else a SEN
sation approximating in some in
stances to a riot, before an audience
at our State Agricultural College,
and left the State without creating
enough ripple to indicate to the av-
erage reader that he had crossed the
Kansas threshold, will not be at
tributed to any lack Of alertness in
this State. That Kansas treated Till
man differently-in fact, didn't treat
him at all-is not to the discredit,
but to the credit of Kansas good
sense.
In other places when Tillman call
ed UPON his audience to stand up
and vote on the question put to them,
as to whether the white is superior
to the negro race, the audiences have
obediently stood up. At Manhattan
this week, when the Tillman chal-
lenge was shot at the audience, no.
body voted at all on either side.
There was no riot, not even a flutter.
Instead of occupying the place of
honor in the first column of the first
page of the papers the next morn
ing, the report Of Tillman's lecture
filled quarter of a column on an In
side page, but it told all that any in
telligent person need to know of the
speech and antics of the South Caro-
lima rabble rouser. Tillman started
his speech, complaining that the hall
was overheated and criticizing the
committee of arrangements. When
he asked those who believed the
white man superior to the colored,
and then the contrary vote, to rise,
nobody stood up, as we have stated,
on either side. Later, when ne ask
ed for a vote on the question whether
the white race should govern in this
country two or three persons in the
audience, out of courtesy or COM
miseration for the speaker, stood up.
Nobody met Tillman at the train,
which was provoking and unin-
territorial. due to a misunde nding.
Mr.. Tillman was in two wrecks on
his way to Manhattan. The report
on his lecture says that it is general
ly condemned as without sense or
point, or suggested remedy for griev-
ances described by the pitchfork ora
tor.
It short, if all his audiences were
as little impressed by Tillman as that
at Manhattan, his stock in trade as a
platform orator, addicted to boorish:
ness of manners and vulgarity of
speech, would soon be reduced be-
low par.-Kansas Weekly Capital.

Head Aehed Till II Burst.

Mrs. Bette Davis, an aged lady, who
lives at Coral Hill, KY, recently had
her head burst from headache. The
case is a most peculiar one and Is PM
zling the doctors. For two days Mrs.
Davis suffered tortures. The usual
simple remedies failed to give relief.
Finally a hole about the size Of a 81
caliber ball appeared in Mrs. Davis
forehead near the temple, and when
discovered the blood had run down oil
the bed and for n than six feet on
the floor. After IL loss Of considera-
BILE blood Mrs. Da vis' head became
easy, and since then she became easy
and has suffered no Inconvenience.

THROUGH YOU"
died recently. They were tied up at
the Quay street pier with fires banked,
and Captain McNeill was In the office,
% Franklin street, Williamsburg,
when one Of his men rushed in.
They're stealing the Florence" he
gasped. Larsen and Wolfsteen have
cut her out, and they're running away
with her"
The captain did not wait for explana-
tions nor to appeal to the police. He
ran all the way to the pier, where he
found his engineer and crew about to
leave for the night. A hundred yards
out could be seen the Florence with
smoke pouring from her funnel as she
steamed down the river.
"Put every ounce on her! Cast OF
the lines! Get a move on you or they
will get away with herw shouted the
captain as he made for the pilot house.
The men sprang to their places. The
lines were free in quick time. The
gauge still showed 100 pounds, the
straining ,fremen raked the fires and
piled the coal, and the boat swung out
into the stream and pointed after the
fleeing Florence.
Wolfsteen, in the pilot house Of the
fugitive, heard a great baritone blast
that echoed far over the river. He
knew that sound Of the Claremonts
whistle and that she was In chase even
before he looked astern and saw his
foe coming with speed that was even
then almost equal to that Of the fleeing
tug.
Both boats had been built on the
same model. They are supposed to be
of equal power, but on the Florence
there was only Larsen to ire ana
watch the engines at the same time.
It was double work. He was not used
to It.
On the Claremont the grizzled en-
eineer husbanded his steam pressure
and worked it up to the top notch.
Then the flying tug began to put on
speed, and slowly, very SLOWLY sne
started to overhaul the other boat.
Leaning out Of the pilot house was
Captain McNeill. There was "blood IN
his eve" as the deck hand put it, as he
watched the boat ahead. Near to his
hand was a seven chambered navy re-
yolyer of long range. he looked at II
er,mly as he yanked the whistle cord
In short warning blasts to river cra1t
to keep clear.
It was a time when the river was
filed with boats Of all types. Half
dozen times the Claremont had to alter
her course to avoid collision, and the
captain cursed softly to himself when
he noted the delay. No one protested
at his language.
1T wouldn't have been safe" the
deck hand said afterward, "and, be-
sides. it eased the old man. SO Wnat
was the use|
There was one comfort in the delays
to avoid collisions. The other boat was
subject to the same number Of them,
and the chances of overhauling her
we're better with every passing minute.
Hardly one of those who saw the
chase from the decks Of ferryboats or
passing sound steamers realized what
it meant. They believed it was simply
a good natured race, and many were
the bits Of sarcastic advice flung at
CAPTAIN McNeill as to ''stern chasers."
His only reply was to signal for yet
more steam.
The space between the two boats had
lessened long before they reached the

BY HAIL AND FLOOD
 OREGON LAID WASTE
Damages Which Cannot 3. Estimated Wrought Throughout Nude Region.

Pendleton. Ore. Aug. 25.-The hard est hail that ever occurred in oregon and a cloudburst visited two different sections of Umatilla county almost simultaneously last evening. causing thousands of dollars damage. Hun dreds of acres of wheat and alfalfa are ruined, while bridges. farm machinery, outhouses, and some livestock suf- fered.
 The hailstorm struck the wheat belt fifteen miles east of Pendleton and swept northwest ten miles. covering a swath three quarters of a mile wide. Hail fell to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Some of the hailstones were two inches long. The dam forming the reservoir of the Athena water works went out and the town is threatened with a water famine. While the amount is we'll up in the thousands it is impossi- ble accurately to estimate it.
