than of Beethoven. When this greatest

Historic incident Participated in by
- American Warship.

OF the old sloop of war St. Mary's,
now to be consigned in her sixty
year to the tender mercies of the auc-
tion, it is written that she bore no
conspicuous part in war in all her long
service. This may be true, but the
st. Mary's was once associated with
An event which is worthy of commem-
Grafton. Under the command of the
late Capt. Colvocoresses she was the
means, 40 or more years ago, of post
poning the bombardment of Valparaiso
by the Spanish fleet. She was
anchored before the city, and the
Spanish admiral hinted that she was
in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocor.
esses remarked that he was perfectly
satisfied with his berth, and that while
the st. Mary's carried but % guns,
she represented a navy that had 1900
guns at sea. Valparaiso was event
ually bombarded. but not while Capt.
Colvocoresses was present. The Pc
culiar name Of the ship commemo-
rates an early colonial capital of
Maryland. 1t was given in the same
spirit of historical association as was
illustrated by the jamestown and
the Plymouth, her sister ships.

terrier, Paul w. Obert and his family
acknowledge they owe their lives.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Obert and their
two children were sleeping at their
home over the stables of the Newark
News Company fire started in the
stables.
The flames had already cut off es-
cape from the stairway when Buster,
scenting danger, began racket at the
bedside of his master, tugging at the
bedclothing. Obert was aroused, and,
with his family, escaped along a mar
row ledge to a rear extension. In the
meantime Buster, who had made play
mates of the seven horses, deliber-
ately dashed through the fire to the

MORE THAN ONE DIFFERENCE.
Aspect Of Case That Stockbroker Had
Not Considered.

Edwin Markham, the poet, discussed
rather impatiently in New York the
semi-total pledge that has taken Amer
lea by storm-the pledge never to
drink between meals.
"One might keep such a pledge"
said Mr.. Markham, "and still not
shine. I am reminded appositely of a
rich stockbroker.
"This gentleman. returned from
luncheon one afternoon at about $3.50
o'clock. He took of his frock coat
and top hat. He lighted superb
Havana. Then he leaned back in his
revolving chair and put his patent

inkpots and business papers.
