date for vice-president of the United
States and once elected, and Benja-
min Harrison were among the great
campaigners and political managers
speak, after all, with the greatest re-
miniscent interest of the campaign in
which Blue Jeans" Williams was the
Democratic candidate for governor, in
1876. Indiana at that time was an
October state-that is to say, it elected
it's state ticket in October preceding
the presidential election of the same
year. Therefore, it was regarded as
of the highest Importance both by
Republicans and Democrats that the
state should be carried for their party.
None of these campaigners, how
ever-and it used to be said in Indi-
ana not all of them put together
gained and held such vast crowds as
Sycamore of the Wabash" No great
did Daniel w Voorhees,, who already
had become widely known as the Tall
barbecue was considered complete I'M
less the Tall Sycamore" was present
to address the crowds. He had a sup
erb voice for outdoor speaking, and
he knew how to use it effectively.
During the campaign a barbecue
was held in one of the towns of the
southern part of the state. The an
nouncement was made that Thomas
A. Hendricks, who had been governor
and United States SENATOR would adj
dress the meeting, and that Joseph e.
Mcdonald, then chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee, and newly
elected United States senator, also
would speak. The people came into
town by thousands and all business
was suspended. Eight hundred maid
ems, wearing simple dresses of blue
jeans, made a most impressive spec
tacle. They symbolized, in that way,
the popularity of Blue Jeans Will
liams.
Senator Hendricks spoke. The vast
throng listened patiently and respect
fully, without making any special
demonstration Then Senator Melon
aid was introduced. The people of
Indiana liked to hear Mcdonald, es-
pecially if his address We're not very
long. He spoke soberly, earnestly,
and to the minds of his hearers, not
to their passions or emotions.
Far back on an improvised platform
sat the Tall Sycamore of the Wa
bash" His head was plainly visible,
overlapping those of all the others
who were seated on that platform.
There were occasional calls for Voor-
hees, but he paid no heed to them,
for it was not his time to speak. At
last, the chairman rose to present

that the only way for him to have this
office act in the matter would be to
take it up with the proper authorities
in Washington, who, if they gave
credence to his story, would have the
Seattle office investigate.
Mr.. McLaren also told Hawkins that
he would issue no warrant for Captain
Manka on his unsupported statement
or until he had full confederation from
other members of the crew. Hawkins
replied that the men who could cor
roborate his statement are now thou
sands of miles at sea. Hawkins ex-
pressed the fear that Captain Manka,
who is expected to arrive in this port
with the Blakely in about a month,
would hear of the charges and fail to
appear. He stalked from the office
without making known what action he
contemplates in the matter of the
charges.
Seattle clearinghouse Masters.

combers. You see, they 90 and live
with him, and run into debt to him.
Perhaps they know nothing about the
sea at all, but when a captain comes
along, he lines W these men, and
picks out the ones that owe him the
most money, and then he selects them
for the ship that wants men. He
takes the money, and, of course, the
men get very little of IT, He tells
them that they have had certain
goods, for which he is retaining
money to cover the cost. There is no
question of shanghaiing; the men go
on board all right of their own free
win, but they are not what they are
represented to be.
Mr.. Stanford Vieno.
Take this man, Stanford Vieno: He
knew nothing about the sea at all He
was averse to work, except when l
was about, and then he pretended that
he could not do enough. When | was

men not to work for a boss, as we

ling in the lazarette Before going to
sleep, he would attach a cord to his
lleg, and the man steering would hold
the other end. On the appearance of
the captain, the string would be jerk
ed, and the sleeper awakened. He
would ascend from his couch, and the
captain would be led to believe that
he had had business. down there"
A Happy Family,
Evidently Captain Manka got
typical crew, for there was another
man who had a deep-rooted objection
to work. This was C. d. Cameron.
Talking of this man the skipper said:
Il do not believe in these advances to
seamen. Here, before a man does a
hands turn, have to give him money.
do not know whether he is any good
or not, but still have to advance him
money. To this man Cameron l gave
$29.25 for clothing, and 1857 to the
clearinghouse master-$42 altogether
before he had done a stroke of work.
On the voyage l advanced him to-
bacco, matches, soap, etc. The first
might that man went ashore at TOGO
;pilla he lost all his clothing while he
slept, and had only his underclothing
left to him.
THE laws seemed to be framed ex-
clusively for the sailor. There was no
consideration for the masters or the
owners at all. A man could have the
ship libeled, and a five-cent lawyer
takes the case up. The master has to
put up big bond and then spend
good money proving that he does not
owe the money. The master might win
the case, but he has to pay the ex-
penses. 1t seems to me that it is I'M
fair"
Assertions Refuted.
Captain Manka denied that he was
ever drunk aboard the ship, and in
this he was supported by Mrs. Manka
and the mate Dahl. Captain Manka
denies the assertions made, but as a
precaution he has obtained the sworn
evidence of three members of the
crew showing that he had incompetent
men to deal with, and that the charges
made were not correct.
Chief Mate Dahl added his quota

Suggestions for

lamp has a peculiar charm. In q coun-
try cottage or for a girls room at any
time shade of fiowered cretonne is
pretty and appropriate. and should be
closely pleated in the empire style with
a garland of flowers surrounded by a
rocco ribbon.
The sweetest of shades may be made
of white muslin with applique muslin
flowers, and in the bedroom. whether
the light is shaded from a lamp or from
an electric globe. daintiness is COM
pletely expressed by q washing cover
Of borderie anglaise or OF muslin trim
med with lace motifs.
Lace frills are again to be seen. and
shades Of liberty satin are surrounded
with deep lace, the pattern being picked
out In ribbon work, while a trail of
flowers is added to the ornamentation.
A pleasant occupation is the making
of shades for lamps. The gayly colored
bead fringes are easily made at home,
and stringing the beads is a lazy pas
time which takes no toll of either physi-
cal or mental fatigue.
