FAMOUS OCEAN DERELICT
Norwegian Vessel, Wanderer Since
Christmas, Nearing Gulf stream

From the New York Herald.
Washington--After drifting westward
100 miles through the Saragossa Sea
the famous derelict Crown, a Norwe-
gian bark, abandoned in mdocean last
Christmas during. a voyage from Nova
Scotia to Brazil, has been sighted and
photographed.
Veritable wanderer on the deep that
she is, the Crown is said by the hydro
graphic office, whose duty 1t is to trace
derelict vessels, to present a case OF
more than usual interest. The vessel
left Nova Scotia early last December
for the coast of Brazil with a cargo OF
lumber, and it is this lumber that has
kept her afloat during her long travels
tlsese many months
She lost her rudder and filled with
water, so that the crew abandoned her
the day after last Christmas. She was
then in midocean near the Saragossa
Sea, which, is an egg shaped area in the
latitude of Florida, beginning four hun
bred miles east of Jupiter and extend
ing easterly for seventeen hundred
miles to the thirty-ninth meridian.
She was sighted on April % for the
fourth time, her total drift having been
eleven hundred miles in 118 days. The
British schooner Evan reported the de-
relict on May 4, having boarded her
and after making an Intellectual attempt
to destroy her, set her on fire.
The photographic experts of the navy
department expect that the derelict will
eventually reach the gulf stream Ir
that event she will turn and drift north.

According to Saturday nights returns

Colquitt, -prohibitionist and anti
submAsionist, will be the next governor y
said F. w. Sanford of st. Louis but
at the same time the proposition to sub
nit to popular vote an amendment to
the constitution providing for absolute
prohibition seems to have carried.
IT was in Texas last April and again
in June, and 1t looked to me as If Col
however, that the submission measure
would be defeated. 1t is difficult for an
outsider to understand the political sit
uation in Texas, but every man l met in
four cities | visited in June said Colquitt
was a safe bet And | believe 1t is a
safe bet that in the event of the amend
ment submissionists having won, when
the people come to vote on constitu-
tional prohibition the result will be just
as 1t was in Oklahoma last November.
81 myself am opposed to barrooms. ex-

GRIEF SONG

BY John Banister Tabb.
New grief. new tears
Brief the reign of sorrow;
Clouds that gather with the night
Scatter on the morrow.

Deep to deep is calling;
Life Is but a passing cloud
Whence the rain 10 falling.
