AZ Baltimore, Md, today Lieut..
Col. Geo. Barnett, of the United
States marine corps, will be married
to Mrs. Basil B. Gordon, of that
city. Col. Barnett was formerly a
resident of Boscobel, this county,
and his recommendation for entry
to the naval academy came from
Hon. Geo. G. Hazelton, then a
member of congress from this dis
trict. Col. Barnett is ordered TO
Pekin, China, where he will go
soon after his marriage and will be
in command of the military force of
the American legation.
"A party of Michigan capitalists
who recently purchased the Baxter
mine near Cuba City, which at one
time was heralded as the richest
strike IN the district, have asked
through the Federal courts that the
contract of purchase be annulled on
the grounds of misrepresentation
and contested previous ownership
by other parties than the ones who
disposed of the property. The lead
and zinc interests in this part of the
state would be In better shape today
if there had been less INSCRIPTIONS
booming and Misrepresentation.
For more than a year past the
Herald presses have been operated
by an electric motor, which is fine
motive power, but as Lancaster has
no day current in It's electric serv-
ice our presses could only be operat-
ed late afternoons and evenings,
which, at times, has proven very
inconvenient. A new gasoline engine
has now been installed and was put
into commission for the first time
yesterday. From now OF we shall
use both the engine and the motor,
whichever Is most convenient, and
in case of accident to either will
have the other to fall back upon.
This arrangement will add greatly
to our facilities for turning out
orders for printing promptly.
William did his shopping early,
and he spent his bunch of tin, for a
quart of coffin varnish, and a little
jug of gin; then with divers boon
companions he put in a merry day,
and he painted up the city IN the
good old-fashioned way. Mary did
her chopping early, for she had to
built fire. and do washing for the
living of her children and their sire;
and she scrubbed and rubbed and
f1oundered In the soap and suds all
day and she earned her silver dollar
in the good old-fashioned way.
Junius did his yawping early;
Junius, the police court judge, and
he warbled unto William: ''Once

Bees In His Windpipe.

B. +. Ferrill, farmer living near
Danville, KY, narrowly escaped death
after he had sucked a mouthful Of
bees into his windpipe while removing
honey from beehive. He was using
a large wooden pipe, blowing smoke
into the beehive to keep the bees from
singing him. While inhaling through
the pipe he accidentally sucked in sew
eral bees, but coughed them up after
they had stung him in his mouth and
windpipe. Medical attention reduced
the swelling in his throat and saved
his life.

rel of salt pork were washed ashore.
FRESH water ran from creviceS in the
cliffs.
Knowing they were within thirty
miles of lighthouse at New Years
island, they began TO plan for means
of reaching there. Headed by Carl
Stark, the ships carpenter, and work
Ing for nearly thirty days with pocket
knives and crude stone tools, they
built q boat that was seaworthy. The
foodstuffs gave out, but they caught
known as limpet.
After Stark had finished the boat he,
with the first mate, Hunter, and sea-
man, Herman Heyne, started for New
Years island to get relief. Because Of
the peculiar shore line and the fact
that the men had to follow it the sail
ing distance to the lighthouse was
nearly hundred miles. This was COW
cred in six days. Arriving at the light,
they told of their plight.
The Chilean government delegated
Lieutenant Delgade and five men to
go to the island in o large whaleboat
to rescue the maroOned men. Stark
went back with the whaleboat as a
pilot. His companions remained at
the lighthouse. Because of adverse
winds it took the whaleboat five and
one-half days to reach the beach where
the survivors of the Prussia were ma
rOoned
Even after their arrival the surf ran
SO high that it was six days before the
whalebOat could be launched and put
to sea again. They managed to get
away in a fair wind, which took them
to Punta Arenas within twenty-four
hours. There POrthin and his ship
mate, Holman Harle, were placed in
the hospital. Drake, the Norfolk adj
venturer, left there some time ago and
is now at home
Those who returned on the Tenny-
son were John Hunter, first, mate; E.
e. Rainer, Herman Heyne, George
Richter, Carl Stark, able seaman, and
Y. TOkamon, the Japanese cook.

Effect of Relaxation.

DIR. Long Mayhelive Young of Chi
cago does not agree with us that
sleeping on the front is good, says the
New York Press. But he seems to be
in his own mind an expert on relaxa-
ton. I'm my opinion" he says, ''the
want of relaxation is the principal
cause of insomnia. To produce re-
Taxation we must first equalize the
circulation of the blood. This is very
often accomplished by sleeping with
the knees up, which throws the blood
into the lumbar region. The position
is rather tiresome q should say SOD
and on stretching out the legs equaIf
zation and therefore relaxation takes
place. For insomnia supervening
upon nervousness I would advise TAX
ing some good, long breaths. When
due to want of control of the thinking
apparatus eat three or four ginger
snaps (ten cents a pound), which will
warm up the stomach and transfer
the nervous energy to the solar
p1exus, or stomach brain"

Boiling Eggs Without Water.

Chicago has a new kink 1t is boil
ing eggs without the use of water.
says the New York Press. This novel
ty is exploited at one of Chicago's
leading hotels, and as the feat is ac-
complished directly before the eyes of
the guest the new way of cooking gen.
orally attracts attention and comment.
The waiter places a boxlike appara-
tus before the guest and turns on a
little electricity from the bracket on
the wall and places the desired num-
Der of eggs in the heater. In about a
minute and a half, or half the time
consumed by the hot water process,
the eggs are cooked to a turn. The
process is an idea originated by Pro
lessor Radtke of Armour institute.

Cat a Life Saver.

The mewing of cat which jumped
upon the bed of Jacob Cole of st. Clair,
Pa, saved him, his wife and father
from being asphyxiated by coal gas.

deadly fumes. He crawled to a win
dow, let in fresh air and then discover
ed that the stovepipe had parted, caus-
ing the trouble. His wife and father
were saved from death only after a
determined effort on the part of the
physician called in.

LIFE SAVING GALLOWAY.

Device to Rescue Passengers Wrecked
In Midocean.
Equipped with the first life saving
galloway ever used OH a ship, a reve-
nue. cutter now under construction al
Wilmington, Del, will go to the Pa
cific coast in the spring prepared ia
assist passengers of wrecked vesseIa
in a novel way, says the New York
Herald. Spencer Miller of New York,
whose galloway device for coalins
ships of war at sea has been approved
by the United States and other gov
ernments, is the inventor of the new
life saving device
MI. Miller's invention is of the same
principle as the hawser and the
breaches buoy used by the coast life
savers, but it differs in that it can be
used by a rescuing vessel to aid a dis
abled or laundering ship even in mid
ocean. A small line is shot to the dis
tressed ship and fastened at the mast
head. On the steamship bearing the
is q steam reel, installed below decks,
which under every conceivable condi-
ton maintains constant tension on
the galloway, or hawser.
One of the tests required by the Off
Gals of the revenue cutter service is
that the, reel will automatically care
for 1000 feet of line running in either
direction should the ships suddenly
move to or from each other. The tests
OF the apparatus are soon to take place
at the LidgerwOOd testing works in
Newark.
