Eleven Lives Lost in Storm.

The Identification of one of the hats
found near an overturned row boat
after the storm in the bay at Balti-
more, Nd, during which five men are
known to have been drowned, leads to
the belief that the list of fatalities
will total eleven instead of nine. 1t
has developed that William Kirwan
and George Gardner, hearing cries for
help, boarded launch ana headed for
the row boat from which the cries
came. In it they saw three women and
three men. Before they could reach
the row boat they saw it turn over,
and when they came alongside all of
the occupants had disappeared. One
of two women's hats picked up by
Kirman and Gardner, and by them
turned over to the police, led later to
its Identification by William Preis,
who stated that the party in the row
boat was made up of Antoine, Joseph
anu Mary Bader, Mary and Emma Wei
der and Henry Doutousoch. none of
whom abs since been heard from. None
of the bodies have been recovered.

Confident of the safety of his fortune Earl worried not con- cerning it, nor did he inspect it until few days ago and now Earl's peace of mind is thing of the long ago for he found that the bank notes had so crumbled from decay as to make m- descerable the numerals indicating their denomination.
 Earl has forwarded to the treasury department his fortune, or what is left of it, with the urgent appeal that the government experts use every endeavor to tho effect that the bank notes be redeemed. The experts are now at work on what they term one of the most difficult tasks with which they have ever been confronted.

orioin Of the cravat.

While every man wears a cravat.
there is probably not one in thousand
who could In an offhand way tell you
how It came about that men first
placed such an ornament about their
collars, The word cravat came into out
language about 1886, Prior to that
year a feature OF the uniform Of the
Austrian cavalry was wide band Of
coarse linen worn In folds around the
neck under their short hussar jackets,
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravatte. Its members beirg styled
the Cravattes. Later In the seven
teenth century France recruited a reg
iment Of cavalry, adopting for It the
uniform Of the Austrian regiment re-
crulted in Croatia. calling 1t the Royal
Cravattes, Later In England the word
cravat was applied TO a neckerchief,
After the battle Of Steenkerke. in Flsn-
ders, in 1892, an English officer brought
home the steamkirk. long flowing
neckscarf, The neckwear today Is
clearly traceable to the steamkirk md
the modification It underwent, -Sarto.

Risky Revenge.

Gaganini, the wonderful violinlst
had narrow escape at Ferrara from a
violent death. Enraged by some Kissing
from the pit, he resolved to a7enge the
insult and at the close of his pro-
gramme informed the audience that he
would initiate the language of various
animals. After having rendered the
notes Of different birds, the mewing of
a cat, and the barking of dog, he ad-
vanced to the footlights, and, saying,
"This is for those who hissed!" imitat.
ed the braying Of an ass, At this the
occupants of the pit rose, rushed on to
the stage and would probably have
killed their caluminator had he not
hastily retreated.

Generous Mrs. crsw..

A gambling story is told of Charles
James Fox that rather reflects on his
honor. He was one Of the ardent ad-
mirers of Mrs. Crewe, a noted beauty
Of her day, and It is related that gen.
tleman lost considerable sum to this
lady at play and, being obliged to
leave town suddenly, gave Mr.. Fox the
money to pay her, begging him to apol-
ogize to her for his not having paid
the debt Of honor In person. Fox lost
every shilling of 1t before morning.
Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed
debtor afterward and, surprised that
he neter noticed the circumstances, at
length delicately limited the matter to
him.
BLESS mev said he. II paid the
money to Mr.. Fox three months ago"
"oh, did you, sir?' said Mrs. Crewe
good naturedly. "Then probably he
paid me, and / forgot It."

Toward the middle OF October we

the highest price. $40 kilogram. The
trunk and feet were both dec.arcd de-

shop d pair Of young wolves were sold
for $3.50 per pound. The meat was
soft and without taste. The biggest
price was paid for young live lamb
