ADR|FT FOR WEEKS
IN AN OPEN BOAT
TERRIBLE HARDsHlPs ENDURED
sY SAILORS sHIPWREcKED IN
THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
TWO OF SURVIVORS SUCcUMB
Craft Containing six Unfortunate
Men Picked Up by British Vessel
After They Had Undergone
Intense Suffering.

New York.-A tale Of the sea, rival
ing in horror and hardship any trag
edy of the deep ever told, was brought
here the other day by William kuhl
mann. a seaman, who was passenger
on the steamer Voltaire from Soutf
American ports.
Kuhlmann is one of six survivors OF
the crew of the American ship Tilile
r. Starbuck. which was abandoned
last August more than a thousand
miles off the Pacific coast of South
America. He and his companions
we're rescued by British ship after
drifting about on the ocean for eight
weeks In an open boat.
Two of the six men who had lived
so long in the little craft died after
succor had come to them, and Kuhl-
mann spent many weeks in hospital
at Valparaiso recovering from the eff
fects of his terrible experience.
No word ever has been received
from another boat which put off from
the Starbuck when she was aban-
doned, and it is believed that its oc-
cupants died of starvation, thirst and
exposure after weeks of vain waiting
and hope that help might come to
them.
1t was when she struck out into the
Pacific and was well on her way
across the thousands of miles of sea
which separated her from her destina-
ton that the Starbuck ran into the
storm which ended her career and
brought intense suffering to all and
death to many of her crew. The
storm broke in the latter part of July
and on the last day of that month her
masts were twisted out by the gale
and she was left to wallow water
logged and helpless, in the tumbling
seas
For IS days the men stuck to the
doomed craft, but at last, when it

The Cannon's Mouth.

The current issue of Golfers Weekly
Cannon In the house in 1890, accom-
panying it with the New York Suns
picture. Sept. A, 1890:
1--WE print herewith an accurate and
lifelike portrait of the mouth of Joseph
G. Cannon, who misrepresents in the
51st congress the gentlemen of the Fif-
teenth district of Illinois. This mouth
has achieved for its owner the celebrity
of infamy, and it is the only physical
feature of Joseph G. Cannon that needs
to be considered by the voters of the
Fifteenth district during his canvass
for reelection. We advise every pure
minded man and woman in Cannons
district, every self-respecting citizen,
whether democrat or republican, TO
study the picture 1t is campaign
portrait, and it should enter largely
into the canvass now beginning in the
Fifteenth district of Illinois. Let the
picture of the dirty mouth of Joseph
G. Cannon be reproduced in the col
umns of the local press. Let it be dis
tributed throughout the counties of
Champaign, Coles, Douglas, Edgar and
Vermilion, on posters and handbills,
and presented in enlarged Transparent
cies and lantern screens wherever the
voters of the district assemble for po-
litical instruction. Then every con-
stituent whom Cannon's mouth has in
suited and humiliated will have a
speaking likeness of the dirty mouth
that has recently spoken what are per-

Chinese Parental Authority.

A remarkable event occurred at
Tsingkiangpu. A man by the name of
King had son who made his father
and mother ''lose face because of the
wild. rakish life he led. He gambled.
loafed. smoked opium, etc. If he stole.
his father would be taken to the va
men. and the whole family would suf-
fer for the sons villainy. and the vital
question was. How could the family
be protected? At last they arrived at
the conclusion that the only way to
protect the father and mother was to
take extreme measures with the son.
WHICH they did with vengeance. The
father and uncle took him out among
the graves. followed by a crowd of
curious neighbors and friends. and.
putting a rope around his neck. each
relative pulled on an end. and the son
was put beyond running the family In

The Fish Commission.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Illinois
fish commission is doing magnificent
work. There are two hatcheries now,
in which many millions of fish are
hatched for distribution in the waters
of the state. This work is done prac-
tically without expense to the state.
The work of a fish hatchery improves
upon nature. A much larger percent
age of the eggs are Matched and a
much greater percentage of the young
fish grow to reasonable size than is
possible where all kinds of enemies
are preying upon fish and. eggs. If
the work of the fish hatchery is sup
plemented by the protection of the fish
against the man with the seine and
against other robbers, there will soon
be better fishing in Illinois than ever
before.

The national convention of the Trav-
elers' Protective association will be
held in Milwaukee, beginning June %,
and will continue throughout the week.
1t is expected that there will be an at
tendance of between 5000 and 5000
travellers and their friends on this Oc-
casion, and the Wisconsin division is
making elaborate plans for their en-
tertainment The business sessions
will dispose of number of important
matters of interest to the travelling
public. One subject of importance will
be the encouragement of legislation in
all states and in congress to bring
about the use of steel fireproof cars on
all railroads. 1t has been calculated
that the largest percentage of loss of
life and limb on railroads is due to
the telescoping and burning of cars in
train wrecks, which renders it impossi
BILE to release the victims before it is
too late to save their lives.

Reporting Conventions.

Some one has estimated that the cost
to the newspapers of the coAptry in
giving to the public the news of the
republican national convention will be
close to quarter of a million dollars.
Although the convention is still three
weeks off. the preparations for it have
been put actively under way with the
opening of headquarters in Chicago by
Senator Dover of the national commit
tee and the letting of the contracts for
the red, white and blue bunting. From
reports received and the reservations
at the hotels in Chicago it will be one
of the largest political gatherings ever
held in this country. 1t is likely also
to be most fully reported If the demand
for press accommodations is any indi-
cation. The news associations have
announced that they will need more
space than ever before and the papers
which ordinarily send only one repre-
sentative are asking for places for
three or four. The news arrangements
for a big convention, in which every
body in the country is interested, is
one of the most important features and
the managers of the approaching re.
publican gathering are giving particu
lar attention to the provisions for re-
porting its proceedings.
Something of the amount of work
involved in gathering news of this big
political gathering is shown by an ar
ticle in the June number of Apple.
