Annual Meeting Of the Master Blacksmiths


If it were not common thing FOR
our community to receive compl-
mentS for hospitality. it might add
considerably to self-conceit to listen
TO the compliments of the Sons OF
NulcIn who Saturday spent the major
part of the day in social intercourse
with our people. There We're posi-
bly, Il couple hundred of them, all
atheletic and robust; and an unusual
proportion OF them a little more
than past the Threshold of man s
estate. Fortunately for Olympia.
aside from being the habitat of people
accustomed to extend the glad-hand.
we have the famous brewery at Tum-
water, managed by man who never
does anything by halves, who spread
a tempting luncheon for the visitors,
garnished by a liberal supply of the
beverage which cheers but not in
ebriates, " which owing to the
water is the best in the world.
The first meeting at 10 A. NJ, was
presided over by President Brannon.
a very appropriate and instructive
address of welcome was made by j.
II. Schively, in behalf of the Mayor
of the city. Mr.. OBrien of the
Olympia Local also spoke words of
welcome, and an appropriate re-
Spouse was made by the presiding
officer on behalf of the Association.
After reports of officers and commit
tees had been read and routine work
transacted, the order was called from
labor to refreShment. and at p. NJ,
Il trOlleyride was taken to our city
suburb -Tumwater-where the lunch
was served.
At the afternoon and evening SEES
siOns reports from the several Locals
We're made, papers read and the fol
lowing officers elected for the enSu-
ing year: President, George Car

Seventh streets, badly demolishing
the auto and wagon and seriously
injuring the team. 1t is lucky that
no personal injury resulted from an
accident which SO badly damaged
the property involved in the crash.
The building ordinance passed by
last years Council and vetoed by
Mayor McLarty, has been resubmit-
ted to that body and referred to the
Street Committee. What use it will
be is problematical. Nobody seems
to pay much attention to the fire
limits now and unless there is dis
position to enforce the old law il
seems improbable that the new will
be treated with any more reverence.
Attention is called to the adver.
tisement of the big Carnival to be
given under the auspices of the
Eagles from the llth to the 18th
inst. on the Athletic grounds. II
will be seen that almost everything
that amuses children and grown
people with young hearts" will be in
active display. 1t promises to be
the gala exhibit of the year, and un-
der the management of the Eagles it
is certain to be success in every
way.

he had fallen asleep, would get up
and raid that silver mine. Fritz said
nothing. though he thought it was
an unkind thing for her to do.
At last he decided he wOuldn

longer. SO the next night he came
home he waited till his wife was
asleep and then he got out of bed,
took all the silver from his pockets,
climbed back under the sheets again
and very quietly tied the money up
in corner of his nightshirt.
Then he smiled to himself He
couldn't help thinking how disap-

tiptOed across the dark room in the
cold and went through his pockets
and found nothing.

Woe Of Tyrants,


Two widow ladies residing in Olym-
pia owning small properties, having
families to support, finding the
values of their holdings for taxable
purposes higher than those of theil
neighbors, and considering our high
tax-rate, concluded they would study
political economy. Being orthodox
in their religion they turned to their
Bibles, found Chap. X, Verses l and
2, Isaiah, which reads:
"Woe unto them that decree un.
righteous DEGREES, and that write griev.
BUSINESS which they have prescribed.
ITO turn aside the needy from judg
ment, and to take away the right iron
the poor OF my people that widows may
be their prey, and that they may rol
the fatherless."

fifteen men of the British bark Osberga are to-
night snugly housed in the Lewes lifessving
station while their vessel is lying at the bottom
of the seq about seven hundred miles off the
Delaware Capes.
Plainly showing the terrible suffering they had
endured, the men were landed here tonight from
the British steamer St Helena, from Java for
the Delaware Breakwater. The captain Of the
Osberga told of the experience:
The Osberga sailed from Turks Island on
October "A for Portland. Ne, laden with salt"
said Captain Douglas. "All went well until We
were within one hundred and fifty miles off
Nantucket Lightship-amost in sight Of our
destination. Here we into a terrific north
west gale. The seas broke over the bark con-
tinuaIIy, causing the vessel to spring leak
After vafnly trying to hold 10 course, ="
he continued, we were compelled to put about
and run before the gale. Storm followed storm,
and for eleven days the half starved and almost
frozen crew worked at the pumps. All drinking
water had become salted. and the men had to
subsist on hardtack and what little water we
could catch in canvas when the storm broke
over as To add to our desperate situation the
inrushing water began to gain the men at
the pumps. Then, too the ships carpenter,
Richard Graham, was almost killed by being
knocked down by tremendous sea.
THE vessel began TO settle at the stern Cap
tain Douglas went on. and practically all hone
of rescue had been abandoned, when, on NCvern-
Der g. the British steamer st. Helena hove in
sight. We signalled frantcally for assistance.
and finally they sighted US and bore down
toward our sinking bark. The wind had fallen
considerably and the was comparatively
smooth. but with these elements in our
favor the task of rescue was hazardous. our
men were so weak that they had 10 be prac-
tically carried from the Osberga. The last man
had scarcely left the bark when IT went down.
An hour more and every one Of US would have
per;shed.'
Captain Keller, OF the ST. Helena said he had
never seen d crew so completely exhausted and
in a more pitiable condition. The crew will
leave here tomorrow afternoon for Philadel-
phia
The Osberga was owned by Captain Thomas
Douglas of Halifax n. S. The vessel was built
in 1884.
