trek along the backbone Of the rocky
island. From later evidence 1t appears
that the man was afflicted with plcu-
rlsy, and his companions abandoned
him after he had stated that he did not
care to risk the long tramp. They left
him some food and Il fire.
"There were plenty Of turtles and
pellcans," remarked one of these mod
ern mariners, "anl he could keep him
self in provisions"
1t required several days Of rough
walking to reach the opposite end Of
Indcfatigable. After few days at that
point the sailing vessel lsidra Jacinta
esplcd the castaways and took them
aboard. Captain Bohnhon of the res
cung vessel upon learning that Jeffs
had been left on the other end of the
island tried TO reach that point ana

Captain Peterson of the lost Alexandra
reported the plight of Frederick Jeffs

Mrs. Claridge prevailed upon the navy
department 20 make an effort to re-
cover her brother. She had but slight
hope that he would be found alive.
His shipmatcs differed from her IN this
respect. They said that Jelfs was n
very hardy man, capable Of withstand

youth was in his favor. he being only
tweniy-nine years of age. The sailors
had found pelican aud turtle sufficient

Accordingly the great republic direct
ed Admiral Evans TO send the tender
Yankton, swift steamer, to Indefati-
gable island and bring off the Cruso.
nian iuhabitant II found alive.
Admiral Evans called for volunteers
to undertake the rescue. Much Of the

being uncharted, navigation there Is
pcrllous. Many men of the feet re-
sponded to the call including Lieu
tenant w. II. Ghcrlrdi. who was placed
in command, The Yankton steamed
away on her hazardous mission, the
commander and his men landed upon
lndefatlgabe, native guides from an
other island in the group were secured
and thorough search for the abandon

was found, but the only things indlcat,

Mr.. HENPEKT'S EFFORT.

absent for some weeks on visit TO her

And when Henpekt took up his pen
TO reply he scratched his head and
thought and thought and finally evoly-
ed the following:
"No. dearest; l have been so busy
enjoying myself lately-er-I should
say working SO hard, that ] confess |
have not been worrying as much over

to bear up nobly till then and will
meet you at the station cheerfully re-
signed to my fate-I mean whenever
you send me word that you are com

And then Hfnpekt looked over what
he had written and shook his head and
said: "Confound letter writing any

~ IKE n tale of the Robinson Crusoe
brand is the story of Frederick
Jeffs, American sailor, maroon
ed on a barren island in the

much as the United States navy de-

Admiral Evans great fleet to be de.
tached and sent steaming over the
southern seas to attempt his rescue.
1t appears that this man was left on

the sole human inhabitant. He had
shipped on the bark Alexandra from
New South Wales The vessel became
as "idle as painted ship upon a
painted occan"--in other words, utter

put out i'm the small boats to search
for water when that necessity Of life
ran out aboard ship. The mariners
landed on 'Indefatigable, their boats
were swept away, and for more than
five mouths they subsisted on turtle

A SUCCESS ON THIS SIDE.

Washington, Aug. 11AThe official speed trial of Capt. Baldwin's dirigible balloon was again postponed today. put a preliminary speed trial was made with Curtis and Baldwin aboard. Captain Baldwin again took a wester- ly course in order to become familiar with the official course lying in the direction of Falls church. It is esti- mated that an average speed of 1871 miles was maintained.
 The airship remained aloft twenty two minutes and a distance of nearly five miles was covered. A side wind was encountered throughout the flight. Several times Baldwin had to tack the same as the master of a ship. An al titude of nearly 1000 feet was at tained.
 Secretary Wright expressed pleasure at the showing made in today's flight, but said: While these airships will be invaluable in time of war for scout ing purposes, they will never revolu- tionize warfare"

OYSTER BAY
 IS GUESSING Something Extraordinary
 Going On
The OverwOrked Secretary to, the President and His Clerks.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 1.-The unusual activity of the government executive offices here, which has been apparent for almost a week during the day and night has become subject of consid erable curiosity.
 The acting secretary to the presi- dent, Rudolph Forster, and the force of clerks under him recently have been the hardest worked men in the village. Their duties begin early and are con- tinued far into the night. The execu- tive staff has been augmented by the arrival of two clerks from the Wash ington executive office Secretary Forster makes two trips almost every day to SagamOre Hill, and each time upon his return brings with him a mass of correspondence. His first visit is made in the forenoon and usually consumes two or three hours.
 Recently he began making a night trip, leaving the office about 9 D. m. and remaining with the president ire quently as late as midnight, some times after that hour Just what is the occasion of this extraordinary ac- tivity cannot be learned.

THE MARKET RECfDfD
 GENERAL SUSPICION
That the Late Activity Has Been
 Carried Too Far.

New York, Aug. 1.-The stock market had a more distinct reac-. tion than has occurred for many days. The recent rise in the market .early in July has been remarkable for its usual setbacks and pauses which usually charactertizes speculative movement. Conviction that it had, been overdone had more to do with reaction than any new conditions. The selling which carried prices downward was concentrated as was much of the buying which preceded it and which caused a suspicion of the largely professional character of the recent market. Buying and bid ding up separate stocks were em- ployed to sustain the list and act as a drag on decline The Northern Pacific was a conspicuous instance and showed marked strength even when the general market was the weakest. Bar silver today receded to SIS, a price touched in April 1903 and not since then. The closing prices were the lowest of the day.
 Bonds were irregular.

from London. Mohamed Ali Bey is sorry to leave the United States be- cause he says he likes the country, but as he pointed out heretofore his recall is after all, a comparatively small matter. Munji Bey, consul general at New York has been appointed charge d. affaires here pending the arrival of the new minister from Turkey, who is expected to arrive tomorrow.
 It is significant that the recall of Mohamed Ali Fey and the appointment of Munji Bey follows closely upon the heels Of an attack made upon Izzet ister, by letter. Mohamed Ali today authorized the Associated Press to make a general denial of these charges, laying particular stress upon the accusation that he was involved in the Armenian massacres.
 'Izzet Fash was not the instigator of the Armenian massacres," he said through an interpreter. It was nota- ble at time of those massacres that he occupied no political position, being president of a commercial tribunal, an organization which included the mem bership of both Europeans and Turks. When Izzet Pasha resigned his posi- ton after six years in order to enter the council of the sultan, his retire ment was hailed with regret by the member Of the tribunal. If he had been a 'grafter' as charged he would not have been held in such high es- teem"
