According to a circumstantial story
from Havre, two hours before the de-
parture of the Sandman, two passengers,
who were registered as the Rev. Mr..
Robinson and son, boarded the vessel
The former was attired in clerical garb.
He wore spectacles, and had short,
struggling and, apparently, new
grown beard, but no moustache. The
most noticeable feature was the mans
heavy projecting eyebrows. The new
Corners engaged a second-class cabin.
Steward Gets Suspicious.
No suspicion attached to the couple
| until the steward noticed that the Rev.
Mr.. Robinson's eyebrow was slightly
separated from the forehead. On fur
| Their watching. the steward was assured
that the alleged son was a girl.
The captain of the Sandman sent a
wireless description Of the two to the
French police, giving it as his opinion
that the couple were really DR.. Crippen

Judge Dossen's Refutation.

The following is the substance of Judge
Dossen's refutation of the accusations
made against the Liberian government by
Kede Bla Seton:
1.-The story which Mr.. Kede Bla Seton
has striven to build up stated Judge
Dossen, 'in his letter published in the
Lagos Record, as well as in the one
to the American Colonization Society
purporting to have emanated from King
Gyude, and which appeared in several
leading American journals, is as mali
cious as it is misleading. BY persons
conversant with Liberian affairs and her
benevolent, tolerant policy toward he's
native neutrality-suspicious. the Cape

disappointment and disgust.

and educational advantages as are pro-
vided him in Liberia?

state college-a son of heather Grebo,
rescued from heathenism, educated,
Christianized and fitted for citizenship.
and who held several prominent posi-
tons in the state, such as member of
the national legislature. public school
commissioner, which post he held for
fully decade, and lastly judge Of the
probate court, which office he hlled up
to the time of his death-unblushingly ar
raigns Liberia as shutting the door OF
political and civil privileges to competent
Greboes and of being negligent in pro-
viding the means for their education
ITO both of these charges l enter in
behalf of Liberia the plea of not guilty.

patriots to make good these malicious,
wicked, shameless accusations by an ar
ray of solid facts in support
LAS early as 1876 the government of
Liberia passed an act providing for pub
lib schools among the aborigines. The
benefit of this act was made contingent
upon the payment by each male in
habitant of any town where school
should be established of one dollar per
annum for the support of the school.
1T is worthy of note, in view of the
charge made by Mr.. Seton, that although

CRUDE OIL BURNER
FOR WHITE STEAMER

In the shops of the White Steam
err company experiments in the
burning of crude oil for steam max
ing purposes are now going on on
an extensive scale for all classes of
machines manufactured by this
concern. Crude oil is already be-
ing used as fuel in some of the
commercial cars, but so far has
been thought impractical for use
in the other kinds of machines.
In the east the burning of crude
oil would make travel much cheap
er, as the crude oil burns slower
and can be purchased cheaper than
either coal oil or distillate, but in
the west little saving could be
made by the use Of it in preference
to the fuel now being used in the
steam cars. This is because of the
fact that crude oil is not handled
in this part of the United States
much cheaper than coal oil or dis
tillate. Some of the new cars with
the crude oil burners may be ship
ped to this part of the country in
the near future for trial, however,
though the Pytcher-Tyler company,
which is handling the White
Steamer here, is somewhat doubt
full of their chances of becoming
as popular as the kind that are
now being used.
