PROGRESS Or SHIP DELAYED BY
SHARKS.

Sharks delayed the progress OF the
Royal Mail steamer Marina, which ar
rived at Port Limon, Costa Rica, Tues
day. and for three days she drifted
helpless because of a school Of about
twenty mau-eatcrs which lowered about
her stern. During storm, 4 quantity
OF rope on the after deck was washed
overheard, and became hopelcssly
tangled i'll the propeller.
Sailors were let overheard, and with
hatcbeLs they prepared to cut away the
knottcd mass. They were surrounded
by sharks in IN instant, and soon the
water was red with the blood OF the
fish, the tars defending themselves with
their hatchcts. The sailors refused to
make further attempts after being
hauled up from their first experience.
Efforts to brighten the sharks away
were futile. The skipper ordered all
refuse kept aboard. At the end of
three days, deprived Of food, the sharks
departed, and the propeller was freed.

Minister Assassinated.

Teheran, Persia, Feb. 4.-Assassins
who have not yet been captured, today
shot Sanied Dowlell, the Minister of
Finance, as he was returning from Ned
iiss.
Three bullets, fired by two Armenians
pierced the minister's body and he fell
dead. The assassins were pursued by a
large crowd, but escaped.
The assassination OF Sani-ed- Dowleh
is believed to be the result Of tie gov
ernment's recent decision to employ
five financial experts from America to
revise the financial system of Persia.
The choice OF the Americans was re-
scented by alarge part OF the people and
as the mioister of finance had favored
engaging Americans, it is presumed
today's murder was an act Of revenge.

ing seven years sentence for the
murder Of William E. Aunis, whom he
accused OF making love to his wife,
Captain Peter c. Hams, whose resigna-
ton from the regular army has been
accepted by the president, has made i
pathetic appeal "ior justice" to the
secretary Of war.
Hams insists that he committed no
offense against the United States. The
killing of Aunis, whom be shot down
in cold blood on float ut the Baysido
Yacht Club May 16, 1908, while the
magazine man was dressed in 4 bathing
suit and unarmed. was necessary for
the honor of the United States army"
according to Captain Hams.
In resigning from the service TO
keep from being dropped from the
rolls" says Hams in his letter to Secre-
tary Dickinson, I desire to state that
William e. Annis, for the killing OF
whom lam now serving sentence in
this place, posing as 4 friend, took ad-
vantage of my absence on government
duty to debauch my wife and to destroy

Annis, when l sued for a divorce,

infamous charges against me in across
bill. This same man, Annis boasted
OF his relations with my wife and
stated in the presence OF 4 number of
persons that from his experience many
wives of army officers were unchaste.

STEAMER HARRIET LANE.

Please tell the history of the steam
ar Harriet Lane. Soldier.
The steamer Harriet Lane was an
chored off Alexandria as guard ship
several times during the Civil war.
She was captured later by the Con-
federates at Galveston and her ma
chinery removed She was subse-
.ouently converted into bark, loaded
with cotton and started for Europe
That was the last we heard of her
The Harriet Lane was in the oiden
time playing the part now assigned
the Mayfower. She carried the
Prince of Wales to Mount Vernon IN
1860. Our government was not so
much with royalty then as now, and
il is matter Of history that Presl-
dent Pierce and members of his cab
met paid the expenses Of entertain
ing the prince while he was in wash

MAKING OLD GLOVES Of USE
When Past Mending They Can 80
Utilized for Service In Great
Variety of Ways.

Do not discard your long gloves
when the fingers are past furtner
mending, for here are some OF the
uses to which they may be put:
Cut the armlets of your black suede
ones into round pieces the size OF a
coffee cup at the top. About eight
such pieces fastened together in the
middle with a fancy button make a
useful penwiper. One, let it be added
that never scratches, nor blunts the
most delicate nibs.
Again, cut them to form little bags
All round the opening little way from
the edge, pierce eyelet holes. through
which you can run a pretty cora OF
ribbon, after which you will be pro-
vided with the handiest little copper
bag ever invented.
Long kid ends Of any color will
make button covers Of an absolutely
up-to-date kind; also binding for hats
coat cuffs and collars. Nothing Is so
fashionable as kid for these purposes.
You must not forget, too, that BELTS
pompons and fringes are made by
clever American girls from gloves
that, as such, can see no further serV-
ice.
The arms of long silk gloves make
excellent undersleeyes to an over
dress, and the wristlets Of wooden
ones, warm mittens for frosty days.

VALUE OF SMALL TOUCHES
Taste and Bit of Ingenuity Can Re-

Small Cost.

Those women who have acquired
the art of dressing we'll on a moder-
ate income owe their success in large
measure to small things. They never
fail to devote time and attention to
the accessories, and. being trained to
quick observation, they assimilate the
main innovations in short order and
pass on to details, while their less
successful rich sisters are still hazy
as to the accepted cut of skirt and
sleeve. Any woman with well filled
purse can command the newest mod
els, but it takes discrimination rather
than money to select the finishing
touches that mean so much. Given
the taste that unfailingly sees the
right thing and bit of home ingenui.

And the wardrobe thus fitted out will

much on one frock as the other does
on her equipment for the whole sea-
son.

Shade of Cyrus, defend us, when
old Persia is forced to appeal to a
republic of the new world to prevent
her spoliation by the powers Of Eur
ope, who have for years been sitting
upon their launches watching for
an opportunity to carry away their
coveted portions of the land where
some OF the greatest men who have
appeared in the history of the planet
have fourished. Persia has played
important parts in the annals of the
old world. The nation is often men
toned in archives sacred to Jew
and Christian. Several hundred
years before the King Cyrus was born.
years before King Cyrus was born,
the prophet Isaiah uttered words that
have often been read with interest
by Bible students. The prophet
hourished before the Babylonian cap
tivily and his words are forecasts Of
what would occur at the close Of the
seventy years the chosen people
would be captiyes in Babylon. The
