AN ILL FATED SHIP.
Mystery and Tragedy That Eneom-
passed the Great Eastern.

There was a mystery about that III
fated ship. Nothing went right with
her. She stuck at the launch, and it
cost an extra $350,OO0 over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial
] trip her boilers burst, killing some Of
the stokers. Then she ran aground
and carried on so utrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched.
She had started badly. While she was
building a pay clerk sent by one Of
the contractors with $1,000 in wages
for the men disappeared. 1t was not
unnaturally assumed that he had bolt
ed with the money. His wife and
family were left unprovided for, with
the stigma Of his supposed crime upon
them.
Thirty years after her launch the
Great Eastern went into the cemetery
at Birkenhead to be broken up. While
she was being taken to pieces the ship
breakers discovered between her inner
and outer castings Of steel the skeleton
of a man. Papers which had fallen
from his clothes enabled his identity
to be traced. 1t was the skeleton of
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon
ey; that was never recovered.
The supposition is that the poor fel-
low on going on to the ship was pounc-
ed upon by workmen who knew that
he had the money with him; that they
stunned him and, having small place
in the side of the vessel to complete,
crammed his body in and built him up
in it. No reward would have induced
a sailor to sail in that vessel had he
known Of the terrible secret sealed up
in hex walls.-Chicago News.

DATES AND FIGS.
Frugal Fare Of the Desert Wanderers
OF the East.


OF the East.
While journeying across the desert
Mrs. A. Gfodrich- Freer, author Of "In
a Syrian Saddle" met lonely travel
er bound for Medeba. On hearing that
the caravan was bound for the same
place he asked permission to join
them. Incidentally he furnished an
illustration Of the difference between
necessities and luxuries.
We were very grateful, says the
writer, for coffee and an excellent
lunch Of sausage, ,potted meat and
jam, with white bread, brought from
jerusalem We ate our dainties with
some sense Of guilt, as the newcomer
produced his lunch Of dates and figs.
Dates and figs, he Informed us, were
the natural food of desert wanderers,
suficing to the body, stimulating to
the mind. The wheat, the flesh, above
all the alcohol Of civilization, We're
mere irreleyancies.
Was it not diet such as this-and he
waved a pair Of sensitive hands over
his ascetic larder-Thich had enabled
him t.. o.reply to the inquiry of per
sonage as to how many hours a day
he could ride in the desert, Twenty
four, your majesty. since day does
not contain twenty-five"
Was it not on diet Of figs and dates
|. that he had ridden sixty hours without
dismounting? Was it your meat eater,
your wine drinker, who remained
sound and wholesome when necessity
obliged him to refrain from ablution
for twenty-one' days?
At this point he carefully counted
his date stones, observed that two
more were yet due to his appetite and
finished his frugal luncheon.

cording to common report, but none
Of the officials in charge would con-
f1rm or deny this. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the immediate return of nor
NAL conditions is the goal sought In
all quarters. This can be accom-
plished only by the withdrawal Of the
troops from the streets and the abro-
cation of the orders which, in many
instances, require the presentation Of
special orders before citizens can pass
sentries stationed at certain street
corners. The regulations Of the city
officials regarding the early closing Of
Rll business houses and the prohibition
OF the sale Of liquors within the city
limits are still in force
Negro refugees continue to leave
town in increasing numbers. Neigh
boring villages and hamlets, however,
are in many instances refusing the
negroes haven and most of the col
ored people who are departing are
bound for communities at a distance
from this city. Many of the negroes
selected Missouri as their destination,
but many started for Chicago, Peoria
and other Illinois cities. 49,.
Later in the day the cavalry regi-
ment was ordered to return to their
homes. This leaves only one regi-
ment of infantry on duty here.

KEEP The KIDNEYS WELL.

there is no need to suffer nor to

surrounding the disappearance Of
Gertrude and Dorothy Beihn, daugh-

The girls, eleven and fourteen years
old, respectively, have not been seen
since their parents left them sitting in
a hammock on the lawn at home Mon
day night. Many people believe the
girls were kidnapped and are held for
ransom.
Members of the household say that
Monday night a closed carriage was
driven up to the Beihn gate. It is de-
clared that a man was heard sharply
commanding the girls to enter and
that they obeyed him. The horses
then were whipped and the victims
rapidly carried away.
After an unsuccessful search by
relatives and local authorities Mr..
Beihn came to Kenosha and engaged
detectives to work upon the case.
