NEED NOT FEAR OCEAN PERIL
Men Bearing the Name Of Hugh VIII
llams Apparently Are Immune
From Death b. Drowning.

Among many English seafaring men
there is a tradition that no man blessed
with the name of Hugh Williams will
ever die at sea-a tradition based on
one OF the most remarkable series Of
condolences ever recorded in the logs
of those who go down to the sea In
ships.
The last and most remarkable In
stance of this immunity of the Hugh
Williamses from death at sea occurred
In 1889, when a coal barge was caught
in a storm In the North sea and went
down.
There we're nine men on board, and
all were lost except two, who were
uncle and nephew and each of whom
was named Hugh Williams. For years
afterward the relatives OF the fortu-
nate men held a yearly reunion to eel
citrate the day of %deliverance from
what had seemed certain death.
But the superstition that no Hugh
williams can become Neptune's VIC

shanahai and salt Fish.

The city OF Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth Of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
introduction of salt salmon from Prim-
erskaya (Russian littoral province),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardlnes from Nagasak.
says the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod. the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth Of
swordfsh last year. This fish. which
owes its. name to its likeness to a
sword in shape as well as in It's glls'
tening, scaleless body, is found In
great abundance in these coast wa
tiers. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts, and has a promising fu'
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact
the Chinese are heavy consumers OF
this fish, the total annual import to
Shanghai reaching 1900, 600 piculs.

Paris, where a chef de claque" en-
Joys a recognized status and receives
A comfortable income. 1t is a mistake
10 suppose that the only duty OF
slaQuers is to applaud. A w~ellorgan-
lied claque includes the art Of infec-

BIG VICTORY
Gen. MercadO Surrenders to
U. S. Army Officers.
SEVERE BLOW DEALT HUERTA
The Federals Forced To Yield Because
OF Lack OF Ammunition-Most
OF Federals On the
American Side.

Preside, Texas.-The Mexican fed
eral army, with its nine generals,
evacuated Ojlnaga, Mexico, after six
hours Of fighting. The triumphant
rebel forces under General Francisco
Villa Immediately occupied the town.
General Salvador Mercado, who was
Huerta's chief military commander,
crossed the river and surrendered to
Major McNamee, Of the United States
Army.
II was impossible for Major Nc
Nance to learn what had become Of
the ~federals, whether the bulk Of them
had taken refuge on this side or
whether they scattered to points in
Mexico. The country about ojinaga Is
mostly desert with little to sustain.
Later General Mercado sent over
seven wagon loads OF government
documents under the escort of a
wounded lieutenant, who also brought
his personal effects.
The wagons were pulled out of the
river and taken into the United States
Army camp.

His rurn for the Feather.

Two motorists, having almost ruined

vain attempt to find a hotel with a
vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best of a small inn.
Even then they had to share a bed,
which was-and on this the landlord
laid great stress-a feather bed.
They turned In. and n of the pair
was soon fast asleep; the other was
not. He could not manage to dodge
the bumps and heard hour after hour
strike on the church clock until 3 a.
h, when he also struck.
He did this by violently shaking his
snoring friend.

Feared a Massacre.

The defeat Of the federal army fol-
lowed only a few hours fighting in
which the rebels, beginning at sun.
down, started to close in on the le-
sieged garrison with 4 cannon and rifle
fire.
General Castro and General Mer-
cado of the federal regulars saw that
the assault was to be nothing less than
a massacre. The federals had left only
80 rounds of ammunition for each man.
Generals Castro and Mercado there
fore gave the order to e~vacuate.
All the federal soldiers and their off,
GERS who could scramble to the Ameri-
can side did so. The others ran In all
%rections. Gen. Pascual Orozco, COM
mander of federal volunteers, threat
ened with summary execution by ,'illa,
was the first to cross. II was believed
he had escaped into the mountains Of
Texas.
Major McNamee. commanding the
United States patrol, Immediately
called out all the cavalrymen to meet
an emergency. Women, children and
wounded soldiers had been crossing In
numbers, but the apparent advance of
the rebels turned to the very heart OF
the federal garrison, gave reason to
believe a greater rush across the Dor,
der vas imminent.

but there we're many guesses as to the
breed. The only child at the table, a

guessed correctly.

London Slums.

The approaching demolition Of the

one Of the clearing away of another
famous slum-the Rookery Of st. Giles
which was pulled down in the forties
for the construction Of New Oxford
street. 1t largely consisted Of lodging
houses where men and women were
accommodated at two pence per night,
and was the resort Of thieves and
coiners. Many Of the houses were con-
nected together by the roof, yard and
cellar in such a way that the a%pprehen.
sion of a criminal was an almost i'm
possible task. In some Of the pas
sages traps we're set which landed a
determined pursuer into a cellar or
