Captain jeremiah TuggIes Is In

Captain jeremiah Tuggles Is Insulted.
1t was a moment of splendid tri-
umph for the heroine of this mad es-
capade when she drew under the lee
of the great ship tremendously above
her. Her eyes were as keen as Car
rington's. She had recognized, or di-
vined, that the tall figure standing on
the rail of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband. She knew that
in some way they had concluded that
she would try to escape on the mer-
to catch that ship. She was expert
enced enough, also, to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble in vain. There was only one
possible contingency which could pre-
vent the accomplishment of her de-
sires now, and that would be the re-
fusal of the captain of the ship 10
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had well-filled purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate, she kept recklessly on, al
though the little boat came near to
swamping and Deborah, between ter
ror and disappointment, was in state
of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee of the big ship. By
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hailing distance Of the mer-
chairman.
A man stepped on the rail to lee
ward and stared hard at her.
What ship is this?" asked Ellen.
"The Flying Star of Boston"
Ellen's heart sank.
Il thought it was the New Eagle
of Philadelphia" she cried.
"She sailed yesterday"
''Where are you bound?" asked FL
len, fighting against the sinking Of
heart caused by this news.

ELECTRICITY ON THE OCEAN
1t Serves Every Purpose in the Opera
ton of Ships.

Much has been written about the
two leviathan Cunard steamers, Lusi-
tania and Mauretania, yet compara-
lively few can grasp the significant
part which electricity plays through
out these ships. A few facts relating
to the electrical equipment OF the
Mauretania may be Of interest.
Apart from the 10000 horsepower
of the turbines which propel the ship
through the water, the electrical pow
er, which is supplied by four genera
tors, represents an additional 2,l44
horsepower.
Electricity Is used not only for illu-
minating the ship at night but for
multitude of other purposes, such as
operating the elevators, of which
there are two for passengers use'
eight for baggage and mails and two
smaller ones in the pantries. Electrl-
cally driven cranes and winches are
also provided.
There are $500 electric lamps in
stalled throughout the ship, giving
the enormous total of over 1OO,OOO
candlepower. For heating the first
class quarters 60 electric radiators
have been fitted, to say nothing OF
some forty-three heaters in bath
rooms for use during the cold wealth
er.
Numerous electric fans are used
for ventilating the various rooms, and

in that time had travelled 1856 miles to
and fro. The return was difficult, and
Capt. Mcclure had to spend one night
In the snow.
The men reached the Investigator
despite the fact that up to that time
the vast space between Bering Straits
and Melville Island had never been
navlgated.
! Finding himself frozen and immov-
able, Mcclure at once took precau-
tionary measures. The deck Of the
vessel was housed over and prepara-
tions were made for leaving the ship
instantly in case the ice should close
in on it and threaten the crew with
death by famine. AS soon as these
arrangements had been made, the
captain addressed himself to the
problem which the voyage Of the In
vestigator was intended to solve.
Did communication really exist be-
tween them and Barrow Strait-be-
tween the space in which the vessel
then lay the waters of the Atlantic
Ocean?
| The answer to this question would
forever settle the question Of a north
western passage, and Mcclure decided
to obtain 1t.
All that summer Of 1851 the ice
plain over Barrow Strait never
once changed its moorings. Later,
availing himself Of movements in the
foe,, Mcclure endeavored to reach the
north side of Baring's island, but af-
ter the ship had proceeded little
distance they met the ice again-the
whole tremendous mass Of 1t drifting
eastward under a strong west wind.
| In all these manoeuvres and in
many that followed the Investigator
narrowly escaped being crushed. 1t
finally reached a well protected bay
Mercy Bay the crew named it-a lit
tie to the south; 1t was there again
frozen in on Sept "a, 1851, and 1t
has been held there by the ice foe
ever since.
| The crew spent three winters in the
vessel, obtaining their supplies Of
food by hunting expeditions. the chief
yield Of which was seal, musk oxen
and polar bears. In the meantime
the situation Of the ship had become
known to whalers, Arctic explorers
and others, as we'll as to the British
government, and the captain was
enabled to send most of his men
home
Mcclure spent four years in the
imprisoned ship, having chosen to
remain with the Investigator just as
long as there seemed to be any hope
Of extricating her. He finally aban-
| doned the vessel. On his return to
England the queen knighted him. He
| died in 1878.
The story Of the ship has aroused
no end of comment. Some Arctic ex-
plorers have pronounced the redis-
covery impossible and set forth argu-
ments against the truth of 1t. How
ever, there Is no doubt that the ship
was imprisoned in the ice and that
she may still be there, and II remains
yet for explorers to determine accur-
ately all the details Of the recent
wonderful tale.-Boston Herald.

Young Love.

AS her guest vanished in the dis
tance Rose Hillyer turned in the old
porch, and stumbling over a net buoy
and trawl basket, rushed back to the
sitting room, and cast herself into the
chair which Andre had vacated.
"Bess-dear Bess," she said, in a
breathless tone, will he keep his
promise, do you think-will he come
again."
Il hope not" replied the sailor girl,
inhospitably.
How can you say that? He is very
handsome-unlike anybody ever seen
on this cape before"
You foolish child" cried Bess, in
vague alarm. He is a stranger-here
today and gone tomorrow" A sud-
den color burned in her olive cheek.
1t was wrong of me to let him walk
home with us. l ought to have sent
him packing at the tomb! l will tell
Uncle Caleb about it when he comes
in. Mr. Andre"-with determination
shall never enter this door again!" d,
Rose started up, her violet eyes
growing wide and black with wrath.
If you try to prevent me 1 shall
hate you!" she hissed. Il will see him
again. You cannot stop memo more
can Uncle Caleb" Then her mood
changed abruptly; she broke into a
laugh. You take such airs upon your
self, Bess Hillyer! You think to gov
ern me as you did the sailors on your
fathers ship. They always obeyed
you, did they not? 1 never do, you
know! Let us not talk any more,
stretching her pretty mouth in yawn.
Mr. Andre has wearied me to death.
AS for Uncle Caleb. am sure he is
drowned. Give me the lamp am 60

She went off with light step. Bess
remained at the fire, waiting for Caleb

zled, stalwart man, in a canvas jacket
and big boots.

LOST THE CASE.
A Simple Test to Which the Defendant
Objected.


An English solicitor was defending
fruit broker in an action brought in
a London court for the recovery of
500, the price paid for consign-
clared to be unfit for human food
The defense alleged that, although
moderately discolored by salt water
as the plaintiff knew when he bought
them, the figs were perfectly whole
some The figs were in court.
The plaintiff, a coster, who con-
Quoted his own case, was skillfully
cross examined. The trial was obvi-
ously going against him, and once OF
twice he retorted SO hotly that the
judge threatened to commit him for
contempt
At length the coster grew desperate
and, turning to the opposing counsel
hoarse and perspiring, he said:
Look here, guv'nor you say them
figs are good to eat, and say they
amt? Now, s'elp me, If you'll cal
two Of them figs and you amt sick
Immediately afterward I'll lose my
case"
The judge at once saw the proprl-
ETY. of this suggestion and asked the
lawyer what he proposed to do.
Your honor is trying this case, not
l." was the reply.
mo, no! The offer is made to you,
said the judge.
A hurried consultation took place
Counsel suggested that it was the So
licitor's duty to submit the expert
ment. The solicitor refused. The bro
ker himself was then asked If he
would risk it,
What will happen to me If
dOn't?" said he.
You'll lose the case" replied both
his legal advisers
Then" said he hurriedly, "lose
the case, lose the case!" And so he
did.

SUBSTITUTES FOR PULP WOOD.
There Are Many Good Ones That Now
Go to Waste.

The American nation has the reputa-
ton of wasting almost as much of its
resources as it uses. Facts are often
advanced to show that there Is much
truth in such a statement.
A practical paper-maker recently
called attention to a few of the sources
of enormous waste when speaking OF
the number of materials in Americas
refuse heap which are worth while
considering as promising substitutes
for wood pulp.
The northwest annually produces
million and half tons Of flax stalks
which are not now used for anything.
That amount Of waste remains after the
twine makers take all they want. II
makes excellent paper.
The farmers in the south burn or
plow under thirteen million tons OF
cotton stalks every year. That which
is plowed under is not wholly lost for
it enriches the soil to some extent, but
not so with what goes up in smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons Of fiber
have been adhering to cotton seed eV-
cry year 1t has been fed to farm stock
along with the seed and has done the
stock no good. Cattle and sheep do
not like the fiber and the seed cake is
better without it. A machine has been
invented which. it is claimed. VIII
separate the lint from the seed. Paper
makers think they can use it.
Nobody knows how many million
tons of cornstalks go to waste;
but in quality they are far ahead of
cotton stalks. and it is believed they
can be made into paper, although it has
not yet been done on commercial
scale.
Thousands Of acres of wild hemp
grow in the southwestern part Of the
country particularly along the Colora-
do river. It's only use now is to shelter
jack rabbits and coyotes. but it has
splendid fiber and tests on a small
scale show that excellent paper can be
made from it.
Paper making from straw is we'll
established industry. Bookbinders use
thousands of tons Of strawboard. The
straw which goes to waste in western
wheat fields would bring fortunes If
made into paper.
Lists of fibrous or woody plants suit
able for paper are almost without linn
it, but only a few may be had in guam
tity sufficiently large to be worth con-
sidering.
The time has not yet come when it
is absolutely necessary that substitutes
for pulp wood be found, but it is COM
ing. The forests are still able to fur
nish materials for paper, but they can
nor continue to do so for a great many
years to come, at the present rate of
cutting and growth. Makers Of paper
anticipate a scarcity Of pulp wood and
1t is this which prompts the active
search now going on for substitutes.

TOURNAMENT DATE
FOR THE MARKSMEN
Next One viii Take Place In
Fl PaSO,

The president OF the FL Paso Gun
club, Joseph NJ Ronstadt, is sending
a circular letter to prominent marks
men who have taken part heretofore
in the tournaments held in Arizona,
asking each one to give expression as
to the best date to hold the next
tournament of Arizona, New Mexico,
Cananea and FL Paso gun clubs.
The next tournament of the clubs
within the Jurisdiction stated was set
tied upon at the time the Tournament
of 1907 was held in Douglas and E,
Paso men were chosen as officers until
their successors should be named next
fall in FL Paso, where the 1908 tourna-
ment will take pace.
The exact date has not been deter
mined upon and the circular is intend
ed to bring out expressions on this
point. According to Mr.. Ronstadt it
is likely the tournament win be held
in Ell Paso during October. or as soon
as possible after the New Mexico fair,
which is usually held during Septem-
Der of each year at Albuquerque.

BUSY BUSY REGISTERING
| FOR COUNTY ELECTION
Justice Courts Proper Place to
Go-PreviouS RegiStra-
tons Do Not Count.

There are many voters of the opln-
ion that it is unnecessary for them
TO register for the coming county
ELECTION because they registered tof
the city election a short time ago.
This is mistake. as the statute Ie-
quires that registration shall be made
for each and every election, no mat
ter how many times man may have
previously registered.
The city clerk is not the man to
see for registration for the county
election, as his jurisdiction is only
within the city limits. The justices
of the peace are designated as the
proper authorities to register voters
for the county elections, and they are
already busy enrolling the prospective
voters. Justice Hogan has already
in the neighborhood of fifty on his
list. Justice Burdick about half as
many while Justice Grier at Lowell
only opened his books yesterday at
noon and had only a few. A voter
can register at any of these places.

Three ball games are scheduled for
today and tomorrow, one of them to
be played this afternoon one OF
them tomorrow morning and the third
tomorrow afternoon. All OF them
will be pulled off at Warren, and the
match in each case will be between
different teams The game this ar
fternoon will be between the Bank OF

both of this city.
The Bank of Bisbee boys had their
say in the Review yesterday wherein
they stated that their only motive in
cOnsenting to play with the bunch
from the Miners & Merchants bank,
was to teach them few rudiments OF
the game as they seemed ambitious
to master the first principles of the
sport. In an interview yesterday one
of the boys from the Miners & Mer-
chants bank expressed their view Of
the situation:
AS the long suffering public and
supporters OF athletic sports no doubt
took note by yesterday mornings Re
view, the Bank of Bisbee and its Nd-
rious branches are collecting num-
Der of fans to meet the only recog-

However, as the Soothsayer of the

covers Bisbee, Lowell, Warren and
the whole of Cochise county as the

disaster to all opponents, there is
considerable money being put up by
