difficult and dangerous passage

Only the captains boat reached the

was left of the Sea Mist's company.
And on that island they remained for
nearly two weeks. Provisions they

the gold at night, burying 1t on the
beach below high-water mark.
Then, having made sure of his To-

second island, where he knew the
English colony to be. Provisions were

The former residents had grown tired
of their isolation and, a trading YES

the opportunity to depart for Tahiti.
Their houses were empty, their cat

wild in the woods, and the fruit was
rotting on the trees. In its way the
little island was an Eveless Eden,
flowing with milk and honey; but to

Captain Elkanah Daniels and his
friend were feeling better and they
were busy. Trumet had a new hero
now. On Wednesday the Boston papers
printed excerpts from Captain Ham

to give him reception. Elkanah was
the moving spirit in the preparations.
Captain Nat, so they learned by tele-
graphing, would arrive on the noon

prosaic progress by stage all the way
from Sandwich. A special carriage,
drawn by the Daniels span and es-
corted by other vehicles, was to meet
the coach at Bayport and bring him
to Trumet in triumphant procession.

Alfonso Enjoys Reminders of Danger

King Alfonso of Spain is said to be
a fatalist, and being of this temper
he is able to derive enjoyment from
occurrences that would alright most
people. A knife that he knocked out
of the hands Of an assassin is hung
up in his den. The hides of two hors-

been made into rugs for his cozy cor
ner. On his wedding day an attempt
was made on his life, and the next
day he visited the spot and pointed
out to his young wife the spot where

THE ATTACK ON OUR COURTS

One OF the daily papers has been
for the past two months printing
daily comments and structures on oul

contempt case recently decided in
that tribunal
Some OF these have been to our
notion far more contemptuous than
were the original articles that caus-
ed the editors to be cited for con-
tempt.

the continual abuse and misrepre-
sentation we are unable to see. Ia

paper that not only continues to vio-
hate the law Of the state daily. but
sends its message Of encouragement
to other violaters of law by attack
ing the honesty and integrity Of the
men who may be called to pass fin
ally upon their rights.
Out Of the hundreds Of articles that
have been copied from other papers
and reprinted In the daily, very few
have come to our notice that make q
truthful statement Of the facts Of
the case, and we venture the asser-
ton that 96 per cent OF these arti-
cles mis-stated the facts, yet they
were reprinted and circulated by q
paper that knows they are wrong,
and must know that they will create
a wrong impression with the people
who depend upon the daily papers
