Vessel of the Pacific Adapted to Car
 ry Heavy Loads.

The steam-schooner. a vessel whose build and habits are peculiar to tho Pacific, writes MT. Ralph D. Paine in "The Greater America" often goes to sea with her load-line over her hatch" which means that after her hold has been crammed with cargo. a deck-load of lumber is piled half way up the masts. so that her skipper puts out with the water washing over his main deck.
 Along the harbor front of Seattle runs the story of passenger who loped down to the wharf In hurry to get aboard a departing steam schoon- CT. He balanced himself on the string piece for an instant, looked down at what little he could see of the laden craft, and hove his gripsack down the only opening in sight. He was about to dive after 1t when 6 lounger on the wharf shouted:
 "Hi, therel Where do you think you're jumpin' to? That's the smoke stack you tossed your baggage down"
 "What!1 gasped the passenger. T thought 1t was the hatch"
 The story has a slight flavor of exaggeration. but 1t may serve to hint that the commerce of the Pacific has ways of It's own.--Youth's Companion.

 CLIFF, N. V.
MACHINE OF AMERICAN EaKE WAS THIRD
No Serious Accidents Occurred te Mar the Race Which Was Probably Due to Comparatively Slow Time Made Best Time Made, 5 Hours, t< Mn utes, 13 f-5 sessnds-

Briarcliff, N. r., Apr. s5.-Louis Strang. iR a 50 horse power Italian car won the 25s mile automobile race over the Briarclig course Friday. Ce- drino. also in an Italian car, was sec ond. and Guy Vaughn h . 30 horse power ear of American make was third. Herbert Lyts and Paul Sar- tori. the only other racers to officially finish the long journey. finished re- spectivsly in fourth and nfth places. Lytle drove . SC horsepower car of American make ana 9artori a 70 horse power Italian machine. Three other cars of the fs which started would have been able to complete the jour ney, but the race vas officially de- clared of as soon as the nfth car hal crossed the finish line. to avoid any possible accident to the spectators who overfiowed the course.
 The time made by the racers vas comparatively slow and to this fact Is probably due the absence of serious accidents.
 There were numerous minor mis- haps resulting ia the withdrawal of several cars from the contest. but in no case was any one seriously, hurt. The course has been recognised as one of the most dangerous ever select ed for a speed contest between high power machines and the drivers ex- ercisei unusual precautions. Strans took the lead early in the race and at no time was his position in danger. The best time made was hours, IA minutes, 13 1-5 seconds.

This extraordinary man has just celebrated his seventieth birth day. A Londoner by birth, he earned the name of "Jew-Mad Lyne"-his name Is Rev. Joseph Lyne-because of his affection for the Jewish race. which was shown in such acts as that of bar ing his head to the humblest "old clo'" Jew dealer he met. Father Ig. natius is man Of wonderful elo quence, and has been known to turn a crowd which was dead set against him, so much so that they have flung down their coats for him toswalk upon He believes in miracles, and Is credited with having performed sev- eral.

Hunter Dropped from Limb and Brute

T never fooled bear but once fn my Hfe," said an old California hunter. T was hunting quail with light gun one day, when I suddenly met a very large bear I was willing to pass without speaking. but Bruin was mad about something and bristled up for e fight.
 50 I let him have both barrels. and then cut for a tree The shot dazed him for a minute, and then he gave chase, and pretty soon came clawing up after me. There was long, projecting limb on one side, and when I saw him coming, got out to the extreme end, although 1t bent like reed under my weight
 Out came the bear after me, slowly and carefully. and with every step the branch bent lower. When the bear got within two yards of me was within ten feet of the ground. Then I dropped down, and, as the bear shot up 20 feet in the air, made for home as fast as I could run"

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is now
solidly arrayed against license. Worcester.
the only county on it in which intoxicat-
ing liquors were allowed to be sold,
having voted overwhelmingly dry on
Saturday, after a campaign which had
been waged with such vigor by the tenn.
perance forces as to completely rout the
"wets." the vote standing nearly four to
one in favor of local option.
The campaign is estimated to have
cost the temperance people about $1,000
for speakers, banners. buttons, ribbons,
flags, etc., while the whiskey element
poured still larger sum into the fight. in
addition to dispensing wet goods in
abundance. Their methods were SO dis
gushing to all lovers of decency,-as has
been the experience in Cecil county
during campaigns on the same issue,
that some of their own champions even
assert had the campaign beef two weeks
longer the vote would have been still
larger for local option.
Eleven counties in the State are now
dry" They are: Caroline. Talbot,
Cecil, Dorchester, Kent. Queen Annes,
Somerset, Wicpmico and Worcester. on
the Eastern Shore. Calvert in Southern
Maryland. and Montgomery in Western
Maryland.
In Anne Arundel all is dry except
Annapolis and a precinct across the river
from Baltimore City, where there are a
