COLUMBUS KNIGHTS
Work of Mrs. e. ii. COlemar
Presented to Council at Ban
quet at Fairmont

San Francisco celebrated Discovery
day, its new holiday, with a literary
and musical program at the GarricB
theater yesterday afternoon, the event
being received with exceptional en-
thusiasm and attended by leading citi-
zens and representatives of the bench
bar and pulpit.
Samuel NJ. Shortridge. the orator for
the occasion, dealt largely with the
struggles of Christopher Columbus and
of the indomita BILE spirit of that adj
venturer of olden days in his efforts
10 bring about a realization of the
dreams which filled his mind.
The day." he said, lis something
more than a legal holiday. 1t is a day
sacred to US. 1t arouses to gratitude
the slumbering memory of that cour-
ageous spirit which could not be
crushed by failure, which knew not
defeat and would not be baf1ed by that
sternest of all enemies-the ignorance
OF his age.
1T is useless to go through the de-
tails OF the sailing of the three ships
but there is one fact, not generally
known. In that crew of 80 men which
composed the expedition was one Irish
man. How ne got there or why he was
was there. Also, TO be historically
correct. there was one Hebrew, an in
terpreter. Methinks there was formed
the original conspiracy TO capture the
United States
Judge James NJ Trout, who was to
preside, was unable to attend on ac-
count of sickness, and his place was
taken by Judge Thomas &. Graham.
He introduced II. L. Brandenstein as
chairman of the day.
The musical and literary part of the
program consisted of a trombone solo
by A. Roncovieri, superintendent of
schools tenor solo by Charles Bulotti
the reading of an original poem by
Charles d. South. a solo by Miss Julie
Cote and an illustrated talk on the
incidents in the life of Christopher CO.

Nervous Dyspepsia
and Meurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long-con-
tinued Indigestion.

Nenrasthenia, also known as 'nerv-
Gus exhaustion" nervous debility"
and nervous proStration" is disease
which in these modern. strenuous times
is becoming more and more prevalent.
1t is a condition in which there is more
or less marked and persistent loss OF
energy, together with considerable
irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trouble
are easily excited and irritated: can not
do as much work as formerly and in
attempting any mental effort, quickly
become confused, and are unable to
concentrate the attention They also
complain OF insomnia. nervous indiges-
tion, depression of spirits. and palpita-
tion of the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
ness; the person can not walk very far,
and tires quickly on attempting physi-
cal exertion- There is ringing in the
ears; blurring OF evesight; headachs
and vertigo; specks floating before the
eyes. and a general restlessness. The
ability 10 sustain prolonged intellectual
effort is interfered with, and the patient
ina gines he is losing his memory.

indigestion Is the original cause OF the
nervous condition. The nerves are
simply starved" because the stomach
does not digest the food properly, and
as the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from the
stomach for their sustenance. any dep

dition is a mistake: they merely stimu-

HALF OF CITY IN RUINS
KEY WEST, Oct 12.-Half the city
is practically in ruins, 500 homes have
ebeen destroyed and more than hun
dred ships wrecked as a result of the
hurricane which swept this city yester-
day afternoon. Seven churches and
nine of the largest cigar factories in
the south also were destroyed.
With the city in the hands of the
military authorities, who were called
on by the mayor for assistance, efforts
are being concentrated today toward
ascertaining the damage wrought by
the hurricane which swept the gulf
yesterday.
1t is estimated that the damage to
property in the city and harbor will
reach S2,OOO.000.
Between so and as boats of all de-
scriptions were wrecked 1t is feared
a number of lives were lost on these
vessels. The hurricane blew so miles
an hour and lasted six hours.
The city jail is filed to overf1owing
with 1ooters captured by the militia
and police during the night. Thieves
began operations as soon as the fury
of the storm had abated. The mayor

eloquent tribute to the character of
Columbus and praised the Knights of
Columbus for their efforts in having

Four Bodies Recovered

HAVANA, Oct 12.-The effects of
Yesterdays hurricane appeared tonight
to have been considerably less serious
than at first supposed. Communication
has been reopened with all parts OF
Havana province and a large part of
Pinar del Rio province. Apparently
the brunt of the storm was borne by
Havana and its suburbs. Careful esti-
mates of the damage suffered in the
city and by the shipping in the har-
Dor indicate that the loss will not ex-
ceed s5o0.00e.
Reports from nearby places indicate
that the property loss, especially to
the westward, has been heavy, but that
there were few fatalities. Four bodies
have been discovered among tn ruins
of fallen homes heer and it is not be-
lieved that IL lives were lost in this
city.

whisper as they pointed towards a
well-known Detroit minister, who was
slumbering in nearby seat, rs that
Phipps, the murderer"
Phipps merely smiled in reply, but
it was evident that the title of MUIR
derer used in conjunction with his
name made him finch considerably,
and Murray was about to explain the
situation to the reporters when the
train started and the two seekers for
information left the car hurriedly. The
news of Phipps' coming had gone be-
fore him and when the train reached
Detroit there were nearly two hundred
OF his former friends waiting at the
station to see him. The reception they
gave the prisoner testified strongly to
the high tide of popularity in his home
town and Murray felt still more ia
vorably inclined toward the man
whom duty compelled him to hand
over to the grim mercies Of Canadian
law.
'Tll see you fellows at the Michigan
exchange" called out Phipps to his
friends as he followed Murray into a
cab that Chief Bains Of Windsor had
farewell drink there" added the pris
oner to Murray, and the latter nodded
assent and ordered the cabman to
drive to the barroom in question.
Phipps' friends gathered there in full
force and crowded around him, shak.
ing hands and giving vent to loud ex-
pressions of sympathy. Finally Muir
ray delivered himself of a short speech
to the crowd that was trenchant and
very much to the point
Its all very well to be sorry,
boys" said the detective bluntly, "but
Phipps needs something more than
that What he wants is money for his
defense and I'm ready to start a col
lection right now" Murray backed up
his statement by making handsome
donation and the crowd, growing en-
thusiastic over the idea, followed suit,
with the result that comfortably
large sum was soon subscribed and
given to the prisoner. That done Muir.
ray asked him If there was any other
place in Detroit he wanted to visit be-

'Pd like to drive past my old home
on Jefferson street." said the pris.
oner, wistfully.
Many times in after life the detec'
tice was glad that he aeceded to this
last request of his unfortunate pris-
oner. The cab drove along Jefferson
street and Phipps gazed with soul
hungry eyes upon the house wherein
he had once lived so happily. He

through the fields, travelling like an
injured dog. limping on ali tours.
His progress was very slow. His
destination was the river which he
reached an hour after midnight, and
where he found an old boat, half full
of water. He discovered piece of
board. crawled into the boat, showed
off and began to paddle. When dawn
was breaking he reached the American
shore, below Detroit, nine miles down
stream, wet to the skin, wounded,
blood-stained and faint. But he knew
the country round about and made his
way into the city to the home of
friend, knocked and was taken in,
clothed and fed. When his wounds
were healed and his strength returned,
he left Detroit resolved to enter upon
a new life.
But the Canadian authorities were
not disposed to tamely relinquish the

broken their laws and set them at de-
fiance. Orders were issued to capture

ray.
He sent out a description of Phipps
to police headquarters all over the
continent. The fugitive was a billiard
room keeper and Murray calculated
that it would be simply a question of
time until his money gave out and he
would be obliged to look for a Job in
billiard room. Every man to his
trade is a maxim that also holds good
in the case of fugitive from justice,
and the detectives surmise proved cor.
rect. Phipps was located in Pullman,
ILL.,, where he had obtained a position
in billiard room. Murray prepared
eXtradition papers, went to Illinois and
took Phipps from Pullman to Chicago.
In the latter city the fugitive EN-.
ployed Jesse Ball, an able lawyer, and
made a hard fight against extradition.
His counsel endeavored to show that
the shooting was done in American
waters, and there is no hanging in
Michigan. If the crime had been com.
mitted in American waters, Phipps
would have been tried in Michigan,
and IL convicted, he would not have
been hanged. Murray proved by the
captain of the boat and a number of
its passengers that the shooting was
done in Canada waters, on the Canada
side of the river. The legal fight lasted
couple of days, both sides calling
witnesses. and Phipps lost. An appeal
was taken and writ of habeas corpus
issued, but the proceeding was dis.
missed and Murray and his prisoner
started for Canada.

a wild fury filled his veins He strug.
gled savagely, desperately, and finally
tore himself loose with a wrench so
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the wall, and he fell heav.
lily to the ground below. There he lay
for some time, severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices in the JAIL and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search of hiding place.
He came to a graveyard, and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving, with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard a creaking and humping and
family, as though far away. he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur.
prise him, for he was long past the
stage Of establishment. 1t was the end,
and nothing mattered now. He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.
His awakening came suddenly, ac-
companied by q cold thrill of horror,
as his eyes opened upon the utter
darkness. He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With a rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory of the

the hay caught sight of the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed to rise to sitting posture.
Where was the coffin, where the six
feet of earth underneath which il lay?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in a maze of tor
turing conjectures. What did 1t all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay rested and tried again. 1t
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limbs over the edge Of
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged q new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The burial
had indeed taken place. but in the
grave adjoining that in which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and

around and saw the distant outlines
