ANOTHER OCEAN MYSTERY.
NEWPORT NEWS. Feb 5

NEWPORT NEWS, Feb 5.-Another
mystery OF lae deep, similar to the unex-
planned Disappearance of the schooner Marie
Celeste seyeluI year ago, is Old by the crew
Of the British tank steamer Ruumanian. On
Jan. 10, when ten days out from Port ArtA-
III, and near the Azores, the Roumanian
picked up the Norwegian bank Remitteut,
senworthy, proyisioned, and fully rugged, but
without Il soul aboard, and no Indication of
the crews fate. The Roumauian, after tow
ing the Remittent to within 100 miles of
Cape Henry, lost her in a violent gale.
The Marie Celeste was found at sen with
a pot boiling in her galley aud her c%nptain'4
papers on the cabin table, but nothing ever
was heard of her skipper and crew.
The Roumunian sighted the Remittent,
without a hand to guide her, with her tiller
banging to and fro, and veering from one
point OF the compass to another.
The konmanian lowered q boat, and after
more than an hours jockeyiug, during which
the Remittent sailed in swoOps and dasLes
now stopping dead in the eye of the wind
and then bounding away under what canvas
was not furIed, the pursuing boat finally
caught her. When the boats crew boarded
her 1T was found that her water breaker was
full, and salt beef and biscuits were in he
stores. A mainsail and two jibs were snugly
turled and her llfeboats swung in the davis.
The deserted vessed was taken in tow bv
the RouInauian, but in a few hours they ran
into u gale during which the tow was lost.
Twice the Roumanian launched boats TO
carry a new line, and each time they were
smashed against her side by heavy seas, and
their crews narrowly escaped drowning.
Capt. CIarIdge finally gave it up and made
for port, leaving the Remlttent to the mercy
of the gale. No other ship has reported
her since.
The Remittent was commanded by Capt.
Torgersf, and she sailed from RIO Grand
do Sui on Oct. rs for LIyerpooI.-N. y.

why yes" said Schwab.
WAS SECRET order passed out
to the merchants by this association
that no information should be given
this commission?" asked O'Hara.
..I-don't know" said SchWab.
"But-er-there has been some dis
cusson of the matter"
"Are you regulating your conduct
accordingly noW?" asked o'Hara.,
Schwab did not answer.
Don't you know, Mr.. Schwab,"
said Senator JUL, impatiently, that
you are embarrassing this commits
sion. We do not wish to have to
force you to answer questions; neith-
er do we wish to give the impression
that we don't wish to force you to
do So"
And again Schwab did not answer.
Thorne, vice president of Mont
gomery Ward & Co., said that he en-
ployed 1 1913 girls; that their average
wage was S9.25; that 233 got SIS; 572,
Sc; and 1913, 81.
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara asked Thorne
if the, parents of the girls made up
the difference between the wages
they got and what it cost them to
live.
YES" said Thorne, brutally,
that's what parents are for"
And perhaps" said O'Hara, sharp
ly, ''that is the reason for race
suicide. Don't you think working
girl has right to living wage?'
Most of them are only assisting
their families" said Thorne. They're
only half baked, and don't know any
thing when they come to us. We
simply help them"
"Ah" said O'Hara,, you are a.
charitable institution"
ooh, not at all" said Thorne.

homes working for your" asked

, was almost pitlful--cly Coul0hr say
not without consulting my lawyer"
"Our refusal to answer that ques-
ton can mean only one thing" said
O'Hara. "You have discussed what
you would testify to before this COM
mission with other merchants?"
"Why-Why yes" said Lehman.
"Have other merchants advised
this commission" asked O'Hara.
lehmann's jaws worked nervously
but he did not answer.
'What merchants DID advise you
not to answer the questions of this
commission" demanded O'Hara.
And again Lehman could find no
answer.
Don't you Know" said O'Hara,
''that you can be cited for contempt
for refusing to ansWer?"
81 Know" said Lehman, in a
choking voice. 81 must wait until ]
see my lawyer"
Isn't it quite possible" continued
O'Hara, ..that the question of wages
was discussed at meeting of the State
Street Merchants Association"
"Er-not to my knowledge" said
Lehman.
.'Has this association a blacklist"
"oh," said Lehman, eagerly,
that's just for dishonest employees"
Does it regulate prices?"
mo"
Does it specify on what days what
stores will hold sales?"
mo"
Does it pass ON ruIes?"
mo"
"Has the association any ruIes?"
Mr.. Lehman, strange to remark,
did not know whether the associa-
ton had any rules or not.
"Are matters of general business
interest discussed at meetings of the
association" went on O'Hara.
'Why-er-yes."

Good saIesmanship Rewarded.

One evening just few moments be-
fore closing time an elderly man and
his wife entered book store In New
York city, according to an American
publisher quoted in the Bookseller.
Practically every one had left the floor.
with the exception Of one clerk. The
lady wanted particular kind OF book
for a most particular friend. and aft
er the clerk had spent half an hour
during which time he had taken near
~ every book out of the shelves) the
husband became impatient, not the
book clerk. He was as genia, and
agreeable as though he were selling a
diamond necklace and was to receive
the entire profit of the sale. Finally
she secured just the book she wanted.
The man was so impressed with the
salesman that he offered him a posi-
ton Mt $50 a week more than he was
then receiving.
