City, pier and captain and crew left
for time, leaving a Waterman on
guard. The latter was unacquainted
with the members of the crew, so
when number of men came along

belong there, no objection was made.
Soon they put out to sea, and when
the captain came back he found him

The battered boat was dragged on
shore and turned upside down over a
bed made of grass. affording shelter
for the night. The next day there was
nothing doing in the way of rescue,
so they caught fish for food. They
had no matches, but Jayne used his
spectacles as sunglass, and after di-
recting them steadily for over an hour
on a bunch of sticks and dried moss,
managed to produce fire. The fire
served the double purpose of cooking
the fish and keeping them warm at
night. Four days passed before any

doubtless been the means of enlisting

Paris has been described as para
disc for women, purgatory for men
and hell for horses. The number of
horses steadily decreases under the
motor competition and the horses that
remain have to thank the automobile
as well as the efforts of various So
cieties for the better treatment they
receive, for to survive in these days
they must be fit. The army authorities
have Just taken census of the num-
Der of horses, and the figures for 1911
show 77,4SS in Paris, compared with
90, sos in 1901. This means that in ten
years the number of horses has de-
creased 24,210, or almost exactly a
quarter. The military authorities are
somewhat alarmed over the fact, for
although the automobile may be used
for the transportation of war material
and provisions, there remain the needs
of the cavalry and artillery.
In Salonica there are fifteen news
papers and nine weekly or monthly
reviews published, with a total circu-
lation of about 10000. The newspapers
are mostly small two-sheet affairs,
, badly printed on cheap paper. The
reading of the newspapers, however,
has increased greatly in the last two
years and will increase still more
when liberty is given to the press.

Lent. He will probably go direct to
San Francisco, where he will begin
speaking, and will work east. One
thing that he intends investigating
while in America is the soda water
fountain. He is thinking of bringing
out its possibilities as promoter Of
temperance. London, which used to
be amused at his onslaughJs against
society, has long since learned TO take
Father Vaughan seriously, for though
he has an abrupt way of saying things,
he is intensely sincere and bis argu-
ments are irresistible. He has won
many converts from the ranks of So
ciety TO the work of the slums.

London, August 5.-London is much
concerned over the kings health, al
though it has been frequently denied
during the past fortnight that George
is ailing. A glance at the court calen-
dar however, seems to lend some
color to the rumors, for their males
ties engagements are so arranged
that the king will have practically all
OF August and September free from
engagements, especially those OF a
public nature.
Next Tuesday Lloyd's, which has
been credited with insuring everything
from a prophecy on the wealthy to a
chance on the kings life, will put into
effect a new rule eliminating war risks
from all marine insurance. This ia
nous organization of underwriters has
been busy during the past few weeks
issuing policies against the risk OF an
early election, and the sharp advance
in their rates makes the political sit
uation more interesting than ever.
Just as risks we're taken against
LLOYD George being premier before the
end of the year, policies are being
taken out against the resignation oil
Premier Asquith. 1t is reported in sew
eraI quarters that Mr.. Asquith is well
worn down by the strain of the veto
fight and wants to retire to private
life. He will be sixty years old in Sep
TENDER That is young for politics
according to English notions, but OF

public life telling on him and is no

The chances for Sir Edward Grey and
Lloyd George as Mr.. Asquith's sue
cessor seem to be about even.
Agadir, the little Moroccan town and
roadstead which has been causing such
a stir in the diplomatic world, once
had far more business intercourse with
Europe than now. The Portuguese

same thing in the eighteenth century,

Gossip Of Gotham

New York, Aug. 5.-Sweethearts in
their youth, but separated by dispute
over some trifling matter which
caused each to marry another, James
Kane. aged 20, of Bloomfield, n. j.,
and Mrs. Marion Dowd, few years
younger, of Northport, l.. l., have been
reunited in their old age. The we'd
ding this week was celebrated with
all the festivities that might have
marked happier elimination of the
romance blasted nearly half a century
ago. Mr.. Kane is a veteran of the
Civil war, and as an engineer handled
the throttle of the first regular loco
motive which ran over the rails of
the Greenwood Lake branch of the
Erie railroad. Within the last few
years both lost their helpmeets, and
they met accidentally short ime ago.
Mr.. Kane resumed the broken-off court
ship with vigor, and in a few days
won a yes" from the lips of the
Widow Dowd.
When the special term of the New
York supreme court adjourns next
Tuesday, nearly $500 new voters will
have been created since July 3, when
the naturalization mill began grinding
in order that the new subjects OF
Uncle Sam might get their papers in
time to cast their first votes next No
vember. This will be the first time in
forty-three years that the calendar has
been wiped clean of naturalization
cases. Quite a few foreigners, anxious
to become citizens of the United
States, have been turned down be-
cause of ignorance concerning the
government of this country. Some OF
these were unfamiliar with the name
of the present occupant of the presi-
dental chair and the capital of the
government. Gaynor, Roosevelt, Muir
ply, big Tim" Sullivan, Lincoln and
George Washington were among the
guesses as to the identity of the chief
magistrate of the. land, and not few
named New York and Albany as the
national capital, while one man gave
Chicago as the seat of government.

If you should ask Dennis Cronin, of
Ninety-siXth street and Second avenue,
what he considers the most useful
toilet article, he would respond, right
off the bat: "A button hook" With
good reason, for Cronin owes his life
to that article. In the College Point
ferry house the other day he took out
his plug OF "chawin'" and bit off big
chew. Just then he sneezed and the
quid lodged in his windpipe. He was
on the point of choking to death when
a man took button hook from his
pocket, inserted it in Cronin's facial
cavity and fished out the tobacco.

Mrs. E. H. Hartman has gone to

woman. The writer's asked for sums

At first Mrs. Hartman attempted to
attend personally to all this mail, but
the task was impossible, and now all
charitable appeals addressed to her
are turned over to the bureau of mu-

every week thousands of begging let
