French authorities of the city, who de-
clared that nothing OF the kind had
ever been done before. the skipper and
his sweetheart chartered a sea-going
launch and with one of the priests
chugged out beyond the three-mile
limit and were wed Returning TO
port. the newlyweds began to keep
house in the pretty quarters which had
been arranged on the Watson, and sail
was set for Riatea, where the -emaind-
er of the lumber was discharged.
Leaving the entrance of the harbor
which is little more than a break in the
coral reef, the schooner struck lightly,
and the leak which had been repaired
at Papeete broken open and the wind
began to blow gale and it was i'm
possible to return to the harbor. An
attempt then was made to take shelter
on the lee side OF the island. while the
water in the hold arose to over eight
feet and the vessel began to list badly.
| Fearing the vessel was about to cap
size. the skipper compelled his bride TO
seek safety in the small boat which
was attached to the schooner by a light
hawser. A Ratchet was thrust into the
young woman's hand with instructions
to cut the line if the ship went down.
However, all escaped.
| Despite their experience, the entire
party was in good health and spirits.
They said that the governor of the
South Sea island had treated with with
every consideration. In one particular
| IL is said that the devotion of the gov
ernor or island chief and his pretty
dusky daughter will be repaid. One of
the sailors named Roberts fell in love
with this young woman.
After the party had been ship
wrecked for two weeks they were taxi
en- to Papeete on one of the trading
lschooners.s Before they sailed for San
Francisco, Roberts received two let
ters from the chiefs daughter, and the
same day the Aorangi sailed for this
city the young sailor took passage for
Riatea with the intention of wedding
the dusky maid of the South Seas.

San Francisco, June 1.-The thrill
ling tale of the destruction of the
three masted schooner G. w. Watson
on coral reef of the South Pacific and
the escape of Captain Thomas Z. An
dresen with his young bride. was told
when the steamship Aorangi arrived
here recently from Australia. On board
were the captain and the little woman
whose honeymoon brought here face to
face with death.
The most dramatic feature of the
story was an account of how the skip
per's wife spent a night and day alone
in the small ships boat expecting ev-
cry moment to see the waterlogged
on board take a last plunge to the bot
to moi the sea.
| On April the vessel struck the reef
lly. leaving the little ship ed
company on the island of Riatea, a
days sail from Rapeete, wher they
were cared for by an island chief and
his subjects.
The Watson sailed from Raymond.
Wash on January 1s bound for Pa
peete. with about 100000 feet OF lum-
Der. A few days after sailing tho
seams began to admit water into the
hold and from that time until the YES
! sci arrived at the Eouth Sea port, fifty
nine days later. the crew was COMPEL
ed to labor constaltly at the pumps.
| At Papeete a native diver made re-
pairs. a portion of the cargo was dis
charged and the skipper prepared TO
wed Miss Ann De Lateur. charming
girl from Pendleton. oregon. who had
arrived at the Tahitan port over a
month previously, and therefore was
permitted under the law to wed. Cap
tain Andersen was informed that he
would first have to remain at the port
for a month. and then another month
was required in which the bans of the
marriage could be properly displayed

vULGARITY.

Vulgarity has been called the
sewerage of the soul. 1t is not that,
for it generates all that it throws
off. and in turning it off generates
by reaction still more. The vulgar
utterance is more polluting to the
mind that originates 1t than 1t is
even to the mind that receives it. A
vulgar mouth speaks only for a vul-
gar mind Profanity of speech is
but the outward mark of vulgarity
that generates in some moral cess
pool in the inner character.
1t is not wit any more than the
exhalation from street puddle Is
perfume.
The loud, loose laugh it invites is
fitting complement to 1t.
Observe and you will note that
the laugh which follows an obscene
jest never has the true ring of genu
inc amusement The finer sensibili
ties revolt and put into it tone OF
harshness.
Ii Is not uncommon to hear men
express regret that they are never
able to bear in mind for repetition
stories they have heard and consid
erred choicely indicate. They ought
to be glad of it. The mental and
moral excellence lies in forgetting
them as soon as the brief forced
laugh is over. The mind that Is
and 1t is a mind to be proud Of

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKET CONTINUES DULL.
Only Two of the Active Issues Make
 Change of a Full Point.

New York, May 2S.-Today's session on the stock exchange differed from that of the preceding day only in the sense that 1t was duller and more un- interesting. The resumption of busi- ness in London and on the continent after the triple holiday was of little avail here; in fact, business in the for eign marts was no more active than here. Some of the matters to which Wall street gave more or less cOnsid eration in the course of the day were the New Jersey presidential primaries, proposed far-reaChing readjustment of western freight rates, the refusal of the United States circuit court for this district to make permanent the tenn porary injunction recently granted the government restraining further sales of ''valOriZed' coffee, yet another ad- vance in copper and the official weekly weather report.
 The latter was in some respects the most important development of the day, because it outlined a general con dition decidedly more favorable than was entertained fortnight ago.
 As for the advance in copper metal, which was quoted at 16 3-4 cents, the rise may have resulted from a better demand than was recently shown, but such inquiry, if genuine. failed to ex- tend to the copper shares, which re- flected the apathy so general in all parts of the stock list. Continued good inquiry for certain manufactured arti- cles of steel and iron were again re- ported with premiums for speedy delivery in some cases. Pittsburg and other centers of the steel industry re- iterated recent statements of mills working to 95 per cent. of capacity and the likelihood of a record breaking out put for the month of May
 The utter stagnation of the stock market may be gathered from the fact that in the second hour of the after noon just about 12,00O shares changed hands.
 There was a trife more activity dur ing the morning, but the movement then was no less perfunctory. Up to the last hour only two active issues had changed a full point from the previous days close. These were Le- high Valley and Great Northern pre- ferred Even the obscure and miscel- laneous issues failed to register their usual extreme quotations American Tobacco and one of it's former subsi- diaries inclined to heaviness while another erstwhile adjunct of that dis solved corporation was distinguished for its gain of 16 points. Nothing oc- cured to vary the monotony of the last hour other than a general exodus or the members of the exchange some time before the gong announced the end of the session.
 The local bond market was lower. with an irregular trend Total sales, par value, $2,014,O0O
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.
