REAL MouNTA1N-H1GH WAVE.
Soaked Lookout in the St. Andrews
Crows Nest

NEW YORK. February 2O.-The steam
ship ST. Andrew of the Phoenix line was
introduced to an unusual sort of wave,
one OF a series of the mountainous kind
that shippers love to enter in their logs.
when she was just east of the banks Of
Newfoundland at $50 o'clock Friday
night.
The st. Andrew had been plunging up
hill and down dale at reduced speed when
the lookout i'm the crows nest saw the
wave coming. He thought for a second
that ii was all the seas he had ever seen
rolled into one smashing comber 1t was
coming head on for the freighter. and ii
was apparent to the lockout and the chief
officer. who was in charge of the bridge.
that she would not be able to steer clear.
The lookout lay down in his perch and
held on. The granddaddy wave broke
over him. the top looking like a snow
capped cliff. the chief officer said.
Roaring along the decks. the flow up
rooted everything in its course. including
few winches. smashed all the cattle
fixtures to kindling wood and swept them
overheard. All the lifeboats on the tall
est deck were filled with water and the
stokehoids were flooded. The curious part
Of the incident was that nobody was hurt
a bit. although the lookout aloft was I'M
der water a second so. Some of the
officers were inclined to think that the big
wave was caused b. a submarine earth
crack. but the ships meteOrologist said
that this was unlikely. and that the wave
probably was an unusually large one Of
the comulativ Kind.

An Appeal to the Colored Citizens.
To the Editor of The Star:

Please allow me space. in the columns
of your widely circulated paper to call
attention to the large number of assaults
that have been committed upon defense
less women in the District during the
past few months. and in almost every
case the perpetrator was said to have
been a negro If it be true that those
assaults have been committed by ne
groes. does it not become the duty Of
every law-abiding colored citizen OF the
District to raise his voice in cOndemna-
ton of such assaults and to put forth
his best efforts In assisting the authori-
ties in running down the guilty and there
by help to remove the stigma that rests
upon the entire colored population"
Let the ministers and leading men call
a meeting in one of our large churches
ard take such action. by resolution or
otherwise. as the occasion may require
and thus show that we neither condone
nor palliate wrongdOing of the race. The
time has come when We can no longer
sit idly by. with folded arms. but must
arise to action. and If needs be resort to
the most drastic measures. so that al!

The annual address or report of De-

read. 1t was replete with information
concerning the organization in the or

ring to the eXacting duties of his posi-
ton Commander Ferree said:
Immediately upon assuming the duties
of department commander l found myself
confronted by a most unfortunate cir
cumStance.
Upon a reorganization and reduction
of force in the mail bag repair shop of
the Post Office Department, several Of
our comrades and "a large number OF
discharged. i Immediately took steps to
secure their reinstatement. Accompanied
by influential members of this depart
ment / made several calls on those in
authority. but eur urgent appeals fell
upon deaf ears and were without avail.
There seemed to be a determination not
to undo that which had been done by a
former administration.

liar occurrences which had come to my
knowledge. impressed upon me the fact
that there was a disposition in some quar-
tiers to get rid of the old clerks most
of whom were our comrades. This caused
me much concern and I felt that I could
do no better work for the Union veterans
In the various departments than to bring
about condition which would prevent, or
at least restrict. this unjust and wholly
unpatriotic practice.
President Roosevelt Advised.
Bearing this in mind ! concluded that
at the first opportunity I would bring this
matter to the attention of President
Roosevelt. whom | believed to be sim
cere friend of the soldier. An interview
with the President was arranged. and in

Orange Marmalade

The Americans have adopted the British plan of eating marmalade at breakfast. IL is put on dry or buttered toast and taken with the coffee.
 The following is an old Scotch recipe which is used in British homes:
 Seville oranges are best for this mar. malade if one can get them. The juice is pressed out and the rinds put into a preserving kettle with plenty of water to cover them. This is cooked until soft, adding more water as it boils away. When very soft it is turned into a jelly bag an the juice squeezed out.
 This is mixed with the uncooked juice, and to every pint a pound and g half of sugar is allowed It is cooked twenty minutes. The best way to test it is to drop little on a cold plate, If it curls up at touch of the finger it is ready to take from the fire. IL should be put into glasses or small stone jars. It should stand uncovered for q night, and after this the jars may be covered with paraffin.
