PIRATES OF TO-DAY
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE an PRES
ENT-DAY RUSSIA.
Thrilling Experiences of Passengers on
Little Passenger Steamer In
Great Wheat Port Of
Odessa.

The evening of July l3 Of this
year was beginning to cast its shad-
ows on the great wheat port of Odessa
An air of quietude lay over the busy
port, even though the town beyond
seethed with revolution,
The small passenger steamer Sofia
glided steadily through the gently IN
dulating water, a frothy line marking
her course outward from the harbor.
Her decks were crowded with passen-
gers. Even the saloon was filed. Co
incidence that the sailors. busy al
though they were at their work, found
time TO comment on. Chiefly notice
able among the passengers that oc-
cupied the more expensive quarter
on the little ship were a number Of
young men. In all they totaled Is,
and appearance and dress at once
marked them as men of education.
Several times the captain turned a
swift glance on them, as, standing
apart from their fellow passengers,
they conversed earnestly amongst
themselves. His mind hung uneasily
on a strong iron chest that reposed
secreted within his cabin. Yet how
could those men know that it was on
board the Sofia, and, still more, that
1t contained over five thousand
pounds value of Russian bonds and
coins?
Ten miles now lay between the little
steamer and the harbor of Odessa.
Apart from the monotonous throbbing
of the engines a stiffness hung over
the ship. On chairs, or leaning against
the ships side, the passengers watched
the stars as they shone forth from the
darkening sky.
Suddenly voice rang sternly and
clearly through the ship: Hands up"
The drowsiest passenger sprang into
wakefulness at the unexpected cry.
Gathered in circle near the bridge
stood the Is young men. Each held
a revolver in his extended right hand.
Again the command rang out. and
every man on board raised his arms
above his head. All saw resistance
was useless.
These Teyolutionaries, as the leader
of the pirates proclaimed himself and
his men TO be, brooked no refusal.
SuIlenly each passenger was relieved

plants were detrained.
Leading Bacil to the spot where the
driver lay imprisoned, the trainer COM

wariIy over smouldering beams, Bacll
wound her trunk around one huge
rafter, raised it, and laid it some
yards aside. Then, returning, piece
by piece she CALAMITY accomplished
her task
But still the fire vas creeping nearer
and nearer TO the helpless driver. No
doubt he was aware that frantic eff
forts were being made to save him
Yet by what means remained a mys-
terry.
A cry arose for water. Bacil had
nobly borne away even a charred and
smoking beam. But now, unless water
had been forthcoming to stay the
course of the fire, the work OF rescue
must have ceased. Even this cry
had been anticipated by the trainer.
The remaining elephants were return
ing from the MonoagaheIa river, which
lag a short distance from the line.
Drawing them UP. the trainer shouted
a word of command.
Instantly, as if performing in a CIR
Gus, the eight great beasts raised their
trunks and poured heavy stream OF
water on the wreckage.

elephants. Back to her task Of rescue

TRUE STORY OF HEROIC WORK
OF LIVING FIRE ENGINES.
Thrilling Incident Of Railway
Wreck in Which Circus Ele-
plants Played the
Star Parts.

In all time. probably, a human life
has never been saved by animals more
extraordinary. or in fashion more
unlOoked-for, than recently at place
some few miles beyond Morgantown
in Virginia.
There had been collision on the
line. A pile of wreckage from which the
smoke curled ominously marked all thar
was left of goods train belonging to
sthe Baltimore & Ohio railway. A
group of officials was gathered at one
end of the debris. Beneath piles OF
broken timber the driver lay impris-
oned. but unhurt. But the train was
on fire, and the flames crept ever
nearer the unfortunate man. Desper-
ately the officials strove to shift the
heavy beams, till the perspiration
poured from their faces.
Hope had almost died when another
train arrived In a few words the
guard told of the fearful death await
ing the driver of the wrecked en-
CINE. Passengers descended from the
carriages and fastened to the spot.
Then a transformation came over the
scene. Hope grew in every heart, and
voices shouted encouragement to the
imprisoned man.
At the farther end of the train that
had recently arrived strange sight
was being presented. A huge elephant,
following the command of its trainer,
clambered clumsily down from a van
on TO the track. This elephant, the
trainer explained to curious passen-
gers. was Bacil, whom rumor credited
as the mother of Jumbo. Moreover,
she was geo years of age.
Then from other yans-for by a
strange fortune the train happened to
be bearing the stock and impedimenta

PROF. R. R. TURNER The
VICTIM OF CLEVER JOKE
Young Ladies of Grsnfs Pass
Assist Him in Propagation
of Pumpkin Crop.

Supt X. X. Turner Of the Grants
Pass schools, also superinteuds farm
on the side and during the present
season has endeavored to p opagate a
crop Of pumpkins, and some Of the
young ladies Of the city have been
more or less interested in his success,
since the professor is bsche lor. The
following story of his operations ap-
peared 10 the Portland Telegram of
last Thursday and will be Of general
interest to his friends here. The
Telegram says:
"R. r. Turner. principal of the
Grants Pass High School, has just
been made the victim of cruel joke
by some Of the young women OF the
town. The professor is believer 10
the future prosperity Of Josephine
County and in consequence has pur-
chased farm close to town. One of
the products he attempted to raise was
pumpkins, bot they did not get good
start and were coming along rather
slowly. Here is where the young
women stepped in. They got some
fine, large specimens from neighbor-
ing farmer and tied them onto the
professors vines. BUasting of his
achievement as a producer, he ever
noticed the deception until frost
nipped the vines the other night aud
then he noticed the foster pumpkins. "
