From One OF Our SsfIors

San Francisco, Cal,
Oct. 10. '09.


la Festival, how the sailors are
treated in San Francisco, and
how we enjoy ourselves.
like the U. S. N. fine-plen-
ty to eat and wear, good pay.
and at the same time it is almost
like big holiday, only at times
the discipline is rather severe;
but if a person behaves himself
in the navy as he has to in civil
life he will get along fine. Some
boys have been in the service
eighteen months and never been
reported, and they are not an
gels, either.
The entire foreign fleet. COM
prising seven cruisers, is now at
anchor in San Francisco bay, to-
gether with the fighting ships of
Uncle Sam. The last vessel to
reach the man-o'-war row, the
Bedford, of His British Majes-
tvs Navy, steamed in yesterday
morning and took her position at
the head of the British squad
ron. Soon after anchor had
struck bottom, the Bedford was
visited by Mayor Taylor and
members of the Portola reception
committee, who paid their re-
spects to Captain E. S. Fitzher-
bert, commander.
Never before on the Pacific
Coast was so great an interest
shown in naval affairs. The peo-
pie swarmed down to the wharf,
and nearly forty thousand visit
ors went to see the foreign
ships. More were waiting to go
aboard. but the boatmen were
unable to handle the curious
throngs. From morning until
long after five o'clock the bay
was filled with launches hurry
ing to and fro with the sight
seers. Some of the foreign res
idents visited the cruisers in a
body. and, hiring boats in ad-
vance. succeeded in greeting their
countrymen.
1t was a gala day on the water
front, and a fitting tribute to
those who had crossed the seas
to attend the Portola fete.
The foreign ships are open for
visitors from 8 O'Clock in the
morning until a O'Clock in the
evening. The crowd that is here
now is only a forerunner of the
crowd that is to be here.
1t is really amusing to watch
the "old sea dogs" navigate the
streets of San Francisco about
midnight. Some get under head
way and, being used to the roll
of the Ship" they have a hard
time keeping on the sidewalk.
though most of the boys are gen.
tlemen. All men in uniform dur
ing Portola Week are privileged
characters; they can ride the
street cars free. Lots of the
boys are taking advantage of
this privilege to see Frisco, "
mostly the boys of the u. S. N.
And the difference in our uni
forms makes the blue-jackets
say: Gee. but l am glad ! am
on Uncle Sans PAYROLL"
There is a ball every night at

is to be a big smoker at the

The apprentice seamen from

and Yorktown are to be in a pa,

the recruits from the Pensacola

About the Purchase of the Canal,
But Refuses to Give Out ANYTHING.

tary of State Elihu Root. who Fri
day was one Of the chief witnesses
before the United States grand jury
in its investigation of the alleged,
libel in connection with the purchase
of the Panama canal. The Secretary
made the remark to newspaper men
who sought to interview him a few
minutes before he went into the
grand jury room. Senator Knox, Of
Pennsylvania, and Assistant Attor-
ney General Charles W. Russell, also
gave testimony. All declined to
throw any light upon the nature Of
their testimony.
William Nelson Cromwell may be
one of the witnesses Saturday.
"Well," said Secretary Root as he
emerged from the grand jury room,

This strange fraternity had its In
ception at Hahnemann College, in
this city, in 1878. During the thirty
one years of its existence its weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret. It's members at the
end of their probationary period take
an oath that silences their tongues
forever.
The life on this earth is enjoyed to
its utmost by them. At the end their
colleagues, attired in long white sur
gical gowns; gather about, the bier on
which lie the earthly remains of their
friend. The spirit they know has de-
parted, and the clay that is left is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At a crematory all
that remains is given over to the
flames, The doctor that was is re-
,duced to a handful of dust.
DR.. Fred w. Wood, former su-
preme encephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur-
pose of autopsy and cremation. "We
believe in three Degrees" said DR..

''I cannot say" replied DE-. Wood.
i"Our oaths are solemn. What we do

What is the fraternity's belief in
regard to cremntion?" was asked.
1--WE believe that cremation is pro-
per. The body is but clay, and soon
er or later becomes but handful OF
dust. When 1t is given over to the
fire all is ended. The translation OF

Andrews came inlan hour or so later

laying his wife on the bed, ran to the

he saw the dead rattlesnake. He at

reptile had bitten his wife and that
she was dying from the effects Oh the
poison. Returning to the house, he
secured a big bottle of whisky, and,
gcirg to the bed, tried to, force some
Of the liquor down his wife's throat.
The smell of the whisky and the ire
in the few drops that had passed her
lips revived Mrs. Andrews, and, chok-i
ing and spluttering, she sat up on the
bed and vented scream OF fear, her
disturbed mind still the prey of
phantoms. Andrews quieted her as
best he could, and a few minutes.

her story.
