THREE 1903 SHIPS
Fresh Arrivals of Chartered
Grain Tonnage,
WILL SWELL JANUARY .FLEET
)
Big Lumber Fleet for Kext Month
Rapid Work on Last of De.
cember Ships Marine
Tfotca.
Three more of the chartered grain fleet
arrived in at Astoria yesterday in time
to save their charters, and incidentally
guarantee enough tonnage for January
loading- at Portland to start the new year
off In good shape. The flrst of the ar
rivals yesterday was the French bark
Ville de St. Nazalre, -which the tug- Dan
iel hustled up from San Francisco heads
in a little over 3 days. As strong
southerly weather has prevailed, It prob
ably bothered the tug- at times to keep
a taut tow line. The Ville saved a high
priced charter by a three day margin.
She was followed In by the British ship
Ventura, one of "W. R. Grace's Antwerp
liners, which comes with general cargo
by way of Port Los Angeles. She left
the California port 26 days ago, and, like
the St. Nazalre, had only three days to
spare in order to save a charter that is
"worth several thousand dollars more than
she could now secure.
The third arrival was the British bark
Norma, which comes from Honolulu un
der charter to G. W. McNear to load
wheat for Australia. She was chartered
on Saturday, so that she had nothing to
gain or lose by getting- In with the bunch.
She Is a well-known trader in this port,
and on her last voyage here came very
near breaking the record by discharging
1500 tons of inward cargo and lining up
and taking aboard about 3300 tons of
wheat in a little over a week. Another
arrival off the mouth of the river yester
day was the British ship Biverdale, which
comes from Hamburg with a full cargo
of cement to Edmund Baker, of San
Francisco, who is Pacific Coast agent for
cement works at Hamburg. The Rivers
dale is fully loaded and came up off ttie
bar too late to get in yesterday, but she
has a pilot on board, and will probably
tow in today. So far as is known, she is
not chartered for outward business, and
will swell the list of disengaged tonnage
in port to about 13,000 tons.
AN ACTIVE HOODOO.
British Bark Madagascar Stlll-Meet-.
Ins With All Kinds of Trouble.
The legendary "sweet little cherub
which sits up aloft" for the purpose ol
bringing good luck to most of the ships
that sail the seas, seems to be missing
from the British bark Madagascar. In
stead there is apparently an able-bodied
"hoodoo" hanging around the craft, and
getting in his work with a vengeance.
The presence of this hoodoo was first no
ticeable early in November, when the
vessel arrived down at Astoria, one day
too late to get to sea ahead of the big
storm which kept the bar rough for over
three weeks. She was flrst on turn, how
ever, and when Neptune ceased raging
about two weeks ago the tug got a haw
ser aboard and made ready to take her
to sea. The windlass was old and weak,
but the economical owners preferred ta
replace it in England, so it gave way
"when the strain of the ancfldr was felt.
A hurry trder was placed for a new
windlass, and it was in place a few days
ago. As soon as the new windlass Was
ready for business the anchor chains be
came fouled, and It was necessary to
bring the ship alongside the dock to clear
them. "While this was being done six
high-priced sailors decamped, entailing a
further expense of a few hundred dollars.
Saturday the chains were cleared and
the men replaced, and the ship started
out into the stream again. In letting go
the anchor, the chain parted, and it was
lost So many anchors have been lost
along the Coast this season that they
are very scarce, and It Is not yet known
whether the vessel can secure one with
out an additional delay of several days or
not. Fourteen ships which left Portland
after the Madagascar have arrived down
and passed on out to sea, and unless the
hoodoo is removed very soon, 14 more will
follow them. The Madagascar saved a 30-
shllllng charter by a safe margin, and
now her charterer is wondering why this
hard luck chapter did not begin running
before the ship reached port, instead of
Just as she was ready to leave.
BIG LUMBER CARRIERS.
Ellerlc Hns Sailed for Portland, and
Alstcrnixie Will Follow.
The steamship Ellerlc, which was char
tered to the Government by Laidlaw &
Co., to carry lumber and Government
supplies to Manila, sailed from San Fran
cisco yesterday noon, and will probably
reach port on "Wednesday. The Ellerlc
will make a good starter for the 1903
lumber fleet from Portland, there beine
much more business of this kind In sight
than there was on a corresponding date
last year. The Pacific Export Lumber
Company, which will supply the cargo for
the Ellerlc, also has under chartor the
big German ship Alsternlxle, which Is now
in San Francisco, discharging a cargo
from Glasgow. The big ship made a fine
run of 116 days from the Scotch port to
San Francisco, and. with good dispatch
In the Bay City, should reach Portland
before the end of January. The Alster
nlxle is a vessel of over 2900 tons net reg
ister, and is accordingly the largest sail
ing vessel ever chartered for the lumber
business out of this port. She has never
had a lumber cargo aboard, but. figur
ing on the usual percentages regarding
tonnage and feet, she should carry about
2,250,000 feet, although some vessels of her
tonnage built specially for the lumber
trade could carry over 2,600.000 feet. "While
the engagements for foreign lumber busi
ness for 1903 are very heavy, there is a
corresponding activity in tho coastwise
business, and a fleet of half a dozen ves
sels are due here within the next week or
10 days. One of A. M. Simpson's old reli
able lumber droghers, the Gleaner, came
In: with the tide yesterday noon, and went
to Knappton to load. Several of the lum
ber vessels, both foreign and coastwise,
now in the river, have Just completed
their cargoes, or will complete them this
week, so that the shipments for the clos
ing week of the year will be heavy.
TAIL-EXDERS OF THE FLEET.
Rnshliiff Business on the Water
Front for Next Thr"ce Days.
The tall-endcr of the Portland grain
fleet for 1902 will undoubtedly be the Brit
ish ship Allerton. She has not yet fin
ished discharging Inward cargo, and there
are but three days left this month. Her
bills of lading are wanted on the 31st,
however, and as Brown & McCabe never
failed to get a ship out on time, she will
have her 100,000-bushcl cargo under the
hatches before New Year's. A big crew
was working on her all day yesterday,
and when they suspended operations last
night, there was still over 100 tons of rails
to come out. The liners are following
the anen who are dlscharcinsr the carco.
andby the time the last rail Is out the
last strip of lumber will be in readiness
to go In.
Other vessels scheduled to finish in De
cember are the German bark "Werra, at
the Portland Flouring Mills; the German
ship Aster, at the Elevator dock, and the
British bark Dowan Hill, at Columbia
No. 2. The big Austrian steamship Klek,
-rbich Is loading for South Africa, is
also liable to finish, bat has been delayed
somewhat by the lumber whjch makes up
a portion of her cargo. The wheat and
flour which she will take have already
been placed on board. If all of these ves
sels get away with the December fleet,
there will still be eight ships in the river
under charter to load, and five others
due, so that there will still be some busi
ness past the turn of tho year.
THE "INVISIBLE FLEET."
First Ship of the Season to Arrive
Without Prcvioas Announcement.
The British ship County of Linlithgow,
which arrived In Saturday, is the flrst of
the "Invisible fleet" to arrive this season.
Nearly . every year, especially when
freights are demoralized, a few ships turn
up without any previous notice, and to
distinguish them from the vessels which
are listed or known to be on the way,
.they are classed as an Invisible fleet
Every ship that is added to the Idle fleet
in a . port when business is dull make3
matters worse for rates, and it Is for this
reason that owners sometimes endeavor
to keep the whereabouts of their vessels
a secret until they can secure a charter
for them. The flrst Intimation of the
presence of the County of Linlithgow
prior to her arrival was a cable from
Liverpool" Intimating that sho might ac
cept business for January loading. This
was a clew which indicated plainly that
the ship was nearly due at this port, and
two days later she surprised the most of
the shipping fraternity by her arrival at
Astoria.
There are a number of other vessels
which have arrived over in tho Orient,
and have been there for a suspiciously
long period, and It Is believed that some
of them may be on their way across to
Portland or to Royal Roads seeking. "With
so many Idle ships sailing around the
world, the outlook for freights is any
thing but bright, and if tonnage keeps on
piling up at the present rate, there will
be enough Idle ships before next Summer
to handle the 1903 crop, even though It
be a pretty good-sized one.
MARINE LOSSES IN ORIENT.
One Steamer Carried CO Down, An
other Toole IS.
VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 28. News was
brought by the steamer Tartar, which ar
rived today, of a disaster in the Malacca
Straits. The Tokio Ahia publishes a tele
gram from Hong Kong stating that the
steamer Bunsang was In collision with the
steamer Klang Yan in the Malacca Straits,
and the Kiang Yan was sunk, 60 sailors
and passengers being missing.
Dispatches from Hakodate report that
an outbreak of lire occurred on board the
Iwanai Steamship Company's steamer Ho
kuun Maru, off the coast of Suttsu, on
December 3. and the vessel was sunk, 18
of the crew losing their lives.
The Japanese sealers had a profitable
season, although four vessels of the fleet
of 19 were lost, three of them, It is be
lieved, with all on board, although there
were rumors that tho men of one tne
Tanya Maru have been seized by the
Russians. The total catch of schoonere
flying the Japanese flag amounts to 12,621
skins.
ROUGH ON THE ATLANTIC.
Ship in Distress Relieved Mate
Killed In Storm.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28. La Champagne,
of the French Steamship Line, arrived to
day from Havre, with 57 cabin and SCO
steerage passengers. Early today La
Champagne sighted a ship about six miles
off flying distress signals. She proved to
be the bark Nile of Glasgow, bound from
Barbados for Boston. Her compass was
out of order. La Champagne gave the
required aid to the Nile, which then pro
ceeded. On December 25, during a strong wester
ly gale, which lasted about six hours,
Pierre Bardelles. the first officer of La
Champagne, was. killed by a seiu Bar
delles was standing on the bridge when
a tremendous sea struck the vessel on the
starboard side, throwing him down with
great force. He was picked up uncon
scious, and died an hour later. His body
was burled at sea.
Had Quick Dispatch.
The French bark Lamorlclere left down
yesterday morning in tow of the Harvest
Queen, after a stay In port of days,
which Is the best dispatch that has been
given any vessel this season. The French
bark Marie was in turn to go down, but
at the last moment the captain decided
that he would linger a little longer In
Portland. The Mlndora and the Lizzie
Vance also left down yesterday morning
On arrival at Astoria the towboat will
start up with the three vessels which ar
rived In yesterday. The Sussex, which
finished Saturday, will leave down Wed
nesday, and the Werra, which Is expect
ed to finish today, will also leave down
then.
Fnrlons Gale on Gnlf of St. Lawrence
ST. JOHNS. N. F., Dec. 28. Another
furious gale has been raging here for the
past 35 hours and has caused much dam
age along the coast line. It Is feared that
the shipping will suffer considerably. The
Allan Line steamer Peruvian passed Cape
Race yesterday morning, but she has not
yet been able to make port because of the
storm and the fog. She has on board 300
Canadian cattle, which were shipped at
Halifax because of the embargo against
American ports.
Marine Notes.
The Herzogln Cecllle was the center of
attraction on the water .front yesterday,
and that portion of her crew which were
on shore leave were similarly prominent
on the streets.
The schooner Oliver Olsen, the largest
carrier in the coasting lumber fleet out
of Portland, will return from San Fran
cisco for another cargo as soon as she
finishes discharging.
The French barks Desalx and Martha
Roux. which were ordered to Portland
from San Francisco heads last Saturday,
are both under charter, the former for
wheat for South Africa, and the Roux for
barley to Europe.
The schooner G. W. "Watson, which
loaded lumber at Portland for Hilo last
month, made a quick run down to tho
island port, arriving December 7, only 21
days out. This Is not a record-breaker,
but it is better than the average.

The Proper Feminine Salutation.
New York Sun.
The new method of salutation noticed at
the first of the subscription balls Is like
the young ladies who exhibited it just
about old enough to show Itself In society.
About 10 years ago little girls who had
never before acknowledged a bow In any
other way than by nodding their heads
were taught to courtsey. Those who
were carefully taught were told that they
were to courteey only to women older
than themselves. They either forgot
about that difference or cared nothing
about it, and have been courtesylng in
discriminately to men and women ever
since. The flrst public demonstration of
this mode of greeting came last Thursday
night, when the young women making
their flrst acquaintance with society
courtsied to the hostesses. But the court
sles seemed almost as much out of place
in public as they had when tho young
ladies used to courtsey to the men to
whom they were presented.

ORCHESTRA LEADERS
QUEER TRICKS OF THE MEN WHO
DIRECT MUSICIANS.
Requests and Tips That Come to
Them Music at Meals Popular
in. Cosmopolitan Cities.
Among the foreign customs taking firm
root In America Is that of music in cafes,
restaurants and hotels. The more cosmo
politan the city population, the more gen
eral the custom. In the more conserva
tive cities like Philadelphia, Boston and
Baltimore, there' Is no medium between
the much-abused piano of the saloon or
beer garden and the sliver-toned orches
tra of swelldom's most exclusive hotels,
says A. S Richardson, In the Washington
Star; bur in such cities as New York,
Chicago and San Francisco, where a
money-spending foreign element is to be
found, you get all gradation of sound,
from the violin and piano duet, through
the Italian string band, to the Buperb or
chestra of a score of players to be found
in New York's most palatial hotel.
Each hote' Is a law unto Itself In the
matters of hours for music, but the usual
custom Is a programme lasting from 6 to
9 P. M- which catches the diners, and
one fror.i 10 P. M. to 1 A. M.t which
pleases the supper parties after the play.
And it Is the province of the orchestra
leader to study the taste and whims of
the establishment's patrons.
Your mere musician, the man who love3
music for Its own sweet sake and who
burns Incense to the masters, is not the
person who will ably conduct the orches
tra in a fashionable cafe. It Is tho man
who can sacrifice his own taste to that
of the pleasure-seeking public, whose mu
sic, by Its brightness and .timeliness, will
draw customers to the cafe.
How New s'cores Are Secured.
H's first duty, therefore. Is to keep
abreast of the time in all things musical
and theatrical. For instance. Just before
Mascagni opened his New York engage
ment PVPtV orchestra gallery rang with
the stralns'of the Intermezzo from "Cav--alerla
Rustlcana." During the stay of

Prince Henry- requests for; "ThV, Watch
on the Rhine" were numerous.
All this, nbwevcr, Is very simple when
cor-ipared with securing the very newest
popular music On the face it would ap
pear that every publisher would be glad
to have his music Donularlzed. and so
. they are when the time cornea, which Is
after the song has been duly copyrighted
and got out in publication form. But your
patron of the cafe 13 not always willing
to wait that long. On Monday night a
song makes a hit in a new production.
By Tuesday night the town is whistling
It after a fashion, and every patron of
the cafe who has heard of It wants It
played by the orchestra.
Now, many songs, especially If written
for comedians, are used flrst in manu
script fcrm and copies cannot be secured.
Tho same may be said of musical come
dies, scores of which are not obtainable
fora'week or so after the Initial produc
tion. This is where the orchestra leader finds
himself at his wits' end. If ho has a
friend in the theater orchestra, he has al
ready arranged tho 'matter. His friend
decides which airs will probably tickla
the puhllc'3 musical palate, writes out
the theme of eaph, and from this the mu
sical leader in the cafe makes his own
orchestration and Is ready directly he
learns the piece has made a hit
Tf he doe3 not stand in with some one
In tho orchestra, ho attends the flrst mat
inee performance, and if he fears that a
vigilant usher may spy his bit of music
paper, he jots the notes of the best chor
uses on his cuff and works them out
later at home. This is easily done, be
cause popular numbers are repeatedly en
cored. One Lender's Ingenuity.
Last Winter when a certain English
musical success made Its initial hit, tho
leader of a fashionable orchestra slippad
Into the first matinee, violin In arm. and
took a seat in the front row. When the
curtain fell and the orchestra of tne
hnnsc dispersed, the leader of the hotel
musicians slipped cautiously Into the first
violinist's cnair and began to copy olf
the music wfeich is left on the racks be
tween matinee and night performances.
A house employe seeing him thus en
gaged, with his violin across his kne.
took him for a regular member of tho
houso crche&trn industriously working
overtime, and the leader soon slipped ou
oC tho theater without being asked a sin
gle question. That night his little band
of musicians were ready with the latest
musical croze, and not another cafe qr
'chestra In town ha-1 it.
So general is tho custom of granting re
quests" for certain numbers that the mak
ing up of an advance programme i3 a
mere form. The only time that the leader
may indulge his own taste is during the
lull between dinner and supper parties.
These requests are sent up by the wait
ers, sometimes orally and sometimes in
writing. In the latter case, a "tip" Is
not Infrequently Inclosed, and some as
tonishing gifts reach the musicians' bal
cony In this fashion.
A young man who haa been entertaining
generously at supper and had sent up sev
eral requests suddenly bethought himself
that he ought to tip the leader. He had
Just settled hl3 bill with the waiter und
fumbled through his pocket for a douceur
for the musicians. The harvest wa3 in
deed light and finally he slipped some
thing into an envelope, a" relieved smile
spreading over his face as he sent tho
waiter scurrying toward the musicians'
gallery. What the leader found in the
envelope was a ticket good for a half
dozen Turkish baths in the city's most
fashionable establishment.
A Threat With a Tip.
It was on last election night that a Jolly
crowd of young men entered the same
cafe to be greeted by the tones of the
too, too familiar "Miserere." As the
minor air died away, a waiter carried an
envelope to the leader, who read thereon
these words:
"If you don't play a real live Irish
melody, we'll put this place on the bum,
and irr short order."
With a flushed face the musician
started to tear the envelope in pieces when
with the first rip something caught his
eye. Inside the envelope lay a 410 bill,
which he had neatly torn in twain. It
goes without saying that the young men
heard the Irish air, and the ?10bill re
ceived a dose of mucilage.
In what is krfown as a family restau
rant, where many apartment dwellers
take their dinners each evening, the
leader one night was astonished to re
ceive through a waiter this note:
"When I am in the restaurant please
never play 'Jerusalem or the 'Holy
City. My little son, now dead, sang
these in the choir."
Folded in the request was a ?5 bill.
The leader to this day observes tho
request, and tho woman, still gowned In
mourning, dines there nearly every night.
Walters, as a rule, make ludicrous mis
takes In carrying verbal requests for cer
tain pieces. ""Among the titles which after
ward proved garbled requests for the In
termezzo from "Cavallerla" may be men
tioned "Tom O'Leary" and "Corolla
Bolla CIgafro." The most ingenious
take-off on the famous eextet from "Lucia
dl Lammermoor" was succotach of some
thing or other." It was a Jewish waiter
who carried up a request for Holly Bolly,
and when the orchestra played "Hurly
Burly," the leader Instantly recognized
from tho expression of the diner's face
that ho had misinterpreted the title. He
made a trii In person to the table and
learned that the request had been for
"Holy City."
Northerners Call for "Dixie."
Experience leaden? say that there seems
to exist little or no connection and sym
pathy between requests and their senders.
A Jew will ask feelingly for "Killarney,"
and a sharp-featured bachelor maid will
demand "Sweet Sixteen." The man who
has been having the time of his life sel
dom becomes maudlin so far as his musical
tastes are concerned, but asks for some
thing Invigorating like "Oh, Didn't Ho
Ramble?" And the woman who asks reg
ularly for "Dixie" has probably never been
further south than Aobury Park, N. J.
Among the tricks of trade employed by
leaders of orchestras In the quieter cafes
where the musicians' balcony Is close to
the tables, io to study the programmes
carried by large theater parties, and then,
being sure of the play they have eeen,
offer Its most popular airs. This Invaria
bly wins favor for the establishment.
Those there are who try the soul of the
leader by Insistently demanding music of
the cheap, popular oort that has been worn
threadbare by street musicians. Others,
. especially in New York, where player folk
sup, spy a comedian or tenor who has pop
ularized a song, and in a conspicuous man
ner they request that his hit be played.
This shows the familiarity of the patron
with actors, but it brlngo anguish to the
poor actor who Is singing It with innu
merable encores eight times a week.
HinHcnllne Characteristics Demanded.
The fact that such successes are manu
factured and maintained with apparent
security is one of the severest trials that
the girl, working legitimately, will have
to contend with. People talk and write
of the temptations of dramatic Hfe, byt
the fact is that the stage is no more
filled with such opportunities than other
vocations. The right-minded girl will
leam to value success properly as she ad
vances, and while her progress may seem
slow It will be the surer.
So It Is not the difficulty In obtaining
employment, the poor rate of wages or
the drudgery of toil that prove the real
obstacles In the path of the strenuous
girl. The chief trouble will be the con
stant demands upon her for qualities of
character that are rare in women the
same qualities which make the successful
man. Women are hot physically fitted for
the work-a-day world, but for the home
Ufcand the most eminent of women law
yers, doctors and actors are always wo.
men whose health has enabled them to
stand the strain.
The Girl With the Hardest Row.
Perhaps the girl with tho hardest rojr
to hoe Is the young woman with a voice.
She gains some' fame and reputation at
home in a church choir, perhapa, and,
spurred on by stories of sudden fame, she
, comes to town with the notion that she
will become a Calve, a Melba or a Pattl.
She may have a good but not a powerful
voice, and she begins her task of finding
a hearing. The singing girl has always
a peculiar mental caliber and big ideas.
She ends by taking a place in a choir or
else she joins the chorus,
The girr'reporter who begins at the foot
of the ladder has to work right well in
order to make a living. She must work
in all weathers, must sleep and eat irreg
ularly and lose much of her sensitive re
finement In the Inevitable contact with
all sorts and conditions of men.
The girl typewriter, the young woman
who decorates' china, and she who makes
cotillion favors, all have their own
troubles, great and small. Some lines of
work are more sheltered than others, and
these are by far the most desirable.
There Is no high road to success, and,
often as this is written. It cannot be re
peated too often. When you hear a wo
man state that she has never experienced
any of the hardships and disillusions;- of
life in her work, whatev.ee it may be. ?you
may be sure that she is uttering a false
hood. Some women make a practice of
writing and speaking In this strain, jffhey
Insist that a woman can go Intof any
business field and maintain all her be
liefs, her faith in humanity and her fem
ininity as securely as in her home life,
but this is the exception rather than the
rule.
The Best Art of All. v
It is better that girls should understand
the dangers before embarking on such a
sea. If a girl can act, sing, paint or
write with any skill she will do it. If she
is required to work for money she will
utilize her talent; but it Is a mistaken
Idea that the woman who turns into a
happy domestic harbor and makes wife
hood and motherhood her profession
abandons her "art" There is very fine
art In the making of a home.
Of the host of girls who come on from
the South or West, how many survive?
And the few who gain a place are always
anxious ana ready to drop the parchment
of the lawyer, the crown of the stagd
queen or the pen of the poet to sing the
cradle song of some happy fireside.
It Is as it should be. The woman flrst
and last Nothing can change It, and the
girl .who realizes this and keeps that star
in view socles the best career. The women
who achieve are the first to admit this
truth. The girl feverishly striving to
leave her home and Its environments to
pursue a will-o'-the-wisp that in reality
she knows nothing of will always seem
like a butterfly beating out its life against
a wheel.
MELVILLE'S BIG "D'S."
The Fine Old Sea Dog; Really Didn't
Mean 'Ent as 'Cuss "Words."
.Chicago Tribune.
Rear-Admlral Melville seem3 to have
made a sensation and brought down on
himself severe criticism by his use of the
"big, big D" two or three times in de
scribing his Arctic experiences to the En
gineering Society of Columbia University.
Some of the men present were surprised
and most of the women were shocked or
said they were.
And yet, after all, Admiral Melville Is a
fine old gentleman, "one of the real old
stock," and It Is not to be conceived for a
moment that he Intended to violate the
rules of etiquette or to offend any one
present. He may have felt that as the
subject was an unusually frigid one a few
"big Ds would warm it up and enliven
It for his auditors, but he that as It may,
the use of the "big Ds" has always been
considered permissible, even If not ele
gant, in both the Army and Navy. Even
though "the sisters and the cousins and
the aunts and all the crew of H. M.
Pinafore were shocked when Captain Cor
coran used the "big, big D" they did not
lay it up against him or refer to it except
in a Jocular manner. No one has thought
less of Schley because he swore at Santi
ago. Even when Queen Mab drives over
a soldier's neck, Shakespeare says he
dream3 of batnes, and when she drums in
his ear, "he starts and wakes, and, being
tnus ingnted. swears a prayer or two and
pleeps again." The soldier who plays his
part in the "Seven Ages" Is "full of
strange oaths."
In all times the "big, big D" has been
considered permissible in the service, but,
of course, Rear-Admirals should be care
ful how they use It before an audience.
It 13 likely that when Admiral Melville
found himself describing the thrilling
Journey he made into the regions of eter
nal Ice, and realized, a3 he had done many
times before, that it was all to no pur
pose, tho subject ran away with him and
he spoke as one of the children of the
world rather than as an Admiral address
ing an audience. Even then he had no
intention of giving offense. He had
reached a point In the discourse where he
could only completely express his feelings
In that way. He can be excused, as Uncle
Toby -was.
Accidentally Shot.
While handling a revolver last Saturday
night, Charles E. Bell, 29 years old, resid
ing on Vancouver avenue, near the Pied
mont water-tank, was accidentally shot In
one of his shoulders. The policeman, who
was sent to inquire into the matter was
told that the wound was slight, and that
Bell was in no danger.
