NEW ORLEANS IS QUIET
THE MOBtS
VIOLENCE
ITSELF.
HAS SPENT
Remains of the Ne;rro Charles Posi
tively Identified Mayor Closed
All Barrooms.
NEW ORLEANS. July 2S. Mob violence
seems to have spent itself, and the city
tonight Is quIeL No fresh outbreaks arc j
reported, the burning of, the Thorny Lafon
School last night nas evidently been the
crowning piece of mob violence. Mayor
Capdeville says that lawlessness such as
ha hurt the community In the last few
days ran only be suppressed with force.
Ho said today that he Had no intention
of disbanding the special police or dis
charging the militia until the last vestige
of mob violence has disappeared. Among
the communications received by the May
or today was an offer from "the leading
citizens" of Tangipahoa, for a sufficient
number of able-bodied men to "annihilate
the negroes of New Orleans."
Contrary to expectations, the night
parsed with little disorder. The prompt
action of the Mayor In di tr.butlng squads
of armed men through the city, and the
fact that the negro, Charles, who caused
the cnieute is dead, seems to have had a
good effect in quieting the populace. The
negroes apparently are glad that Charles
is dead. Today they appeared in larger
number than for several days at the
places where they are employed Thou
sands of them have left the' city.
Much feeling is expressed against the
Polico Board, and there is talk of Cts re
moval and a reorganization of the police
foro.
Arrangements are being made for 'the
funerals of the victims of yesterday's
tragedyt and details of police will accom
pany each to prevent possible disturb
ances. Leonard Plerson, who was with Charles
the eenlng Ofllcer Mora was wounded,
and who has Mnce been conlinod in the
Parish pilon. today positively Identified
the dead negro as Charle. Coroner
Richard held a postmortem examlnat.on
on the body of Charles. He found that
the negro had been snot -IS times and
badly beaten.
The aged Insurance solicitor, II. A
Batte, who was dangerously -wounded yes
terday, is sinking rapidly. The other
wounded arc reported recover.ng.
Mayor Capdeville remained at his office
all night, and has been In clo?e telaphonlt
communlcation with the police, martial
and citizens' emergency police headquar
ters. When asked about the situation
he said that everything was quiet, and
he thought Charlei,' death wodld have the
effect of placing the city again in its nor
nal condition.
Mayor Capdeville today Issued two proc
lamations, one ordering all barrooms
closed at 2 o'clock and remaining closed
until after 5 o'clock Monday morning.
Thf oJhcr proclamation requested all mer
er ants to close their respective places of
business at 6 P. M. and keep them closed
until CA.M, Monday. The order clos
ing barrooms was enforced, and the re
quest on the merchants was almost unanl
xnoufiy complied with.
The bodies of tho two negroes -who -were
Iclled ky mob yesterday were burled to
day. During the early morning hours
tomorrow the disfigured remains of the
desperado Charles will be taken from the
morgue and Interred in the potter's field
with as much secrecy as possible. In or
der not to arouse that class of the public
which is not yet pacified. Sergeant Por
teus -was buried this afternoon, as was
also Andrew "Van Kuren. The police
officers' remains were escorted to the
graveyard by a full battalion of police.
The city is being patrolled tonight by
the militia, and civic police, though there
Is no indication of any disturbance.

In the .Tester
Mnrder
. Trial.
ST. LOUIS, July 28. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from New London. Mo.,
says
ajk .
Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnson, of St. !
Louls, on behalf of the prosecution, ad'
dressed the Jury In' the trial of Alex Jes
ter for the murder of Gilbert "VST. Gates,
He depicted the murder In all its horror,
and said it was a duty he owed to the
state as well as himself, to see that Jus
tice was meted out to the prisoner. As
the lawyer proceeded, A. M. Gates, father
of the murdered boy, buried his face in
his hands and wept. Alexander Jester
cast his eye to the speaker and then to
the Judge, then to the floor. Governor
Johnson said John W. Gates would not
be a man If he did not spend his money
In bringing the murderer of his brother
to Justice.
J. W. Hays, who followed, made, in his
address to the Jury, what the defense
claim may prove a reversible error. He
called Jester a bigamist. He said Joster
married a woman in Oklohama, while he
had a wife In Kansas.
The trial came to a sudden adjournment
this afternoon, on account of a sick Juror.
Court will not convene again until Mon
day. To Break Up Bandit GnnR.i.
PHOENIX. Ariz., July 2S. The author
ities In Southern Arizona are comply
ing plans for a big raid on parties of
bandits rendezvoused in that part of the
territory. It is laiown that a murderous
band of Mexicans Is hidden in the Ea
gle Creek country, and a band of equally
desperate Americans has Its headquarter
on Black River, while somo parties are
scattered through the higher mountain
ranges. It is believed that various crimes
committed of late are generally traceab'e
to these bandits, and determined efforts
will bo made to stop the outlawry. Shtr
lff Clark, of Graham County, has gone
to Glob? to get assistance, from the Gila
County officials, and a Sheriff's posse wld
scour the country. Other counties will
be called on for aid, and Indians will
be used to trail the fugitives.
ANTELOPES HARD TO GET.
The Animals Are Exceedingly "Wary
and Hantcrs Seldom KLill.
Chicago Chronicle.
It docs not take the amateur antelope
hunter very long to find out the acuteness
of that animal's eyesight. Tho deer is sim
ply nowhore in this respect, and some
hunters of experience declare that the
prong-horn antelope possesses even a
keener eyesight than the ostrich or gi
raffe, both of which are famous for their
keenness of eye. And he is almost equally
keen of scent as hearing. For these rea
sons the antelope hunter must be a per
sistent, tireless horseman and a good shot.
As civilization encroaches upon the ani
mal's territory, his senses become keener
end his suspicious of human beings in
tensified. It is exceedingly difficult to approach
within 500 yards of a band of antelope un
less one Is favored by the character of
tho country and observes air the nicer
rules of intelligent still hunting. It is
better to select a rolling, broken bit of
country, where one can take advantage of
the natural rise and fall of the land,
though the game, preferring the flatter
prairie, may not be so plentiful there.
The approved method of hunting the
pronghorn is from the saddle, and the
mort important point to be observed is to
keep out of sight, with the wind well In
your face. If possible. The antelope seems
to be able to feel the vibration imparted
to the ground by your horse's hoofs, and
to be particularly shy of a horse's neigh
or the sound of his shoe striking a piece
of stone, so it is well to leave your horse
picketed in the bottom of the draws and
make your "way hatless to the top of the
niui'.'. aim lukc a, careiui iook. over, xno
greatest caution Is here necessary, for
these little fellows nre.not often caught
off their guard, and take alarm oi the
slightest suspicion of danger, starting off
with the speed of a railroad train to a
safer locality. After that it. is like fol
lowing a whirlwind to attcmot to over
take them.
He likes the tender grass In the bottom
of some swale where there has been the -i
slightest suspicion of moisture earlier in
the Summer, and It is well to approach
such pieces with the greatest care. Re
member the falling is always to over
shoot, so ho'd well down on Jils shoulder
and well ahead If he is on the run. He
is possessed of remarkable vitality, and
Is rlmot certain, nn'o-'s hit in a vital
part, to get away from even the bost

J way. constant harassment having made
the an'mals extremely cautious of ap

are still many Instances, however, of the

of this "kind where a fine buck approached I

to scamper om unmolsetcu until ne was
out of shooting distance before trying a
second.
Coursing the antelope with hounds Is
.possible only from the f jet that the ani
mal Is not long of wind, for at his own
distance he will easily hold his own with
the very fleetest dogs and fairly distance
any ordinary pack.
ANOTHER SUBMARINE BOAT
Apnnrentlr Sijceessfal Trlnl of the
Raddatz Crnft nt Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
People who went out to Juneau Park
Sunday afternoon to -catch the cool
breezes and admire the deep blue waters
of old Michigan marveled at a mystery 4
Away out in the bay a miniature copy
of "Old Glory" fluttered In the wind. It
did more. It traveled about in a circle,
and then started on a Journey southward,
going nearly from a point opposite the
Milwaukee Tacht Club to the harbor
straight cut, where it changed its course
and returned to the starting point.
For one hour and 20 minutes that little
flag moving about upright Just above the
surface of the bay puzzled the "landlub
bers," and then the mystery was solved.
The flag rose higher and higher and
then a little Iron turret appeared, and
then another, and shortly after a boat
went out from the Government breakwa
ter, and out of one of the turrots came
a man. who got into the boat and was
rowed back to the breakwater, where he
received the congratulations of a party
of business men who had been Invited to
the show.
The man was Richard Raddatz, the In
ventor of the submarine boat wuloh'blds
fair to make Milwaukee even more fa
jnous than she Is now. Mr. Raddatz was
experimenting with his little cigar-shaped
boat.
He boarded his craft at 2 o'clock, sunk
the boat Just below the level of the water,
and made a circle about 200 feet in diam
eter, and then started off In a southerly
direction. In his wake followed a man
In a rowboat, who had all that he could
do to "follow the flag" that fluttered from
the Jackstaff of the submerged vessel,
and which was all of it that could be
seen above the surface.
After remaining on the southern course
until nearly opposite the Northwestern
Station, tho back trafk was takon. and
as the boat approached the starting point
the man in the skiff shot ahead, and with
an Iron rod rapped upon tho casement of
the Raddatz boat, and It came to the sur
face Just in time to prevent a collision
with a passing sailboat. On this trip the
submarine boat remained under jrater for
an hour and JO minutes. The speed made
was at the rate of Ai miles an hour.
The second trip was made by dropping
deeper Into the water. This time the flag-
! staff, which extended above the hull of
'
the boat about eight feet, entirely dlsap-
peared. The boat went to the bottom of
the bay In about IK feet of water, and
remained there stationary for about 10
minutes, the spot being shown by a buoy
that was allowed to float on the surface.
Then the boat made a circle and started
south. During the trip the bottom of the
bay was struck four times. On the second
trip the boat was submerged tor Just one 4
hour.
Among those who witnessed tho trips of
the boat from the breakwater were B, T.
LeuzaTdcr, J. D. Miller, E. G. Cowdery,
S. J. Glass, Charles Sercombe and others,
and they expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the result.
"We have passed the experimental stage
with this boat," said Mr. Raddatz. after (
emerging from the interior of his little
craft. "We have a company organized, 1
known as the Raddatz Submarine Engl
neering Company, of which B. T, Leu
zarder is the president, and I am the
general manager. "We have a capital stock
of $100,000, and have all the machinery and
the steel necessary to begin operations.
There is one difficulty in the way, and
that Is that, while seme of our stock
holders arc of the oplnipn that this boat
is a war vessel, pure and simple, others
think it is best adapted to commercial
purposes. 9
"We have several propositions which
we are considering. We arc in commu
nication with three of the leading govern
ments, or great powers, who are after
the secret of construction, for the purpose
of making use of it as an adjunct to thelr
navles. The United States Government
has also made several propositions to us,
one of which is to make a coast survey
of the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to
those, we have several offers from private
corporations and individuals to make use
of our boat in locating wrecks in the Gulf
of Mexico. I am of the opinion that we
shall not accept the proposition to make
the coast survey. As to the others, I can
not say what we shall do.
"Will we begin the building of other
boats? That depends. As the matter
stands now, it will depend on whether
the conclusion is reached that the boat
is suited for commercial purposes better
than for war. If an affirmative decision
is reached, then there -will be an oppor
tunity for private enterprise, but If It Is
a war vessel, then we shall sell our se
cret and furnish models to the govern
ments that become our patrons. The
world is getting pretty well stirred up
now, and It may be that there will be a
demand for the' boat for the purposes of
war." ' -
The Largest of Animals.
Youth's Companion.
Mr. Beddard, in his new book on whales,
reminds readers that, although the imag
ination is apt to picture the giant reptiles
of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods
as having exceeded in size all modern
animals, yet in fact there Is no evidence
that the earth has ever contained, cither
on the land or In the sea, creatures ex
ceeding the whale In bulk. The, mam
moth was larger than the elephant, but
the Ichthyosaurus could not match the
whale for size, although with its terrible
Jaws it would doubtless have been the
whale's master.
China's Postal System.
New York Tribune.
The postal system of the Chinese Em
pire is still in a primitive condition. It
is carried on under the direction of the
Minister of War by means of post carts
and runners. There are S000 offices for
post carts In tho IS provinces, and there!
are 2040 educes for runners Scattered over
the empire. There are also many private
postal couriers, and during the Winter

GREAT BRITAIN'S RIVALS

Fifteen German nnd Elsbt French
Vessels Listed for Portland Ter-
11s of Atlantic A'avlgntlon."
Great Britain's proportion o'f the sail
ing vessels now en route or listed for
this port is the smallest that It has ever
been, although the list Is nearly up to rec-
ord llguros. Out of a total of ft) vessels '
listed or en route for Portland, but 34
w-i nv th Krltlsh flair. This, of
courre, isover half of the fleet, but when
it is considered that a tew years ago
It was i rarity to find anything but
British ships on the list, it -will be seen
that the othor flags have been rising
rapidly. The Germans come next to
Great Britain on the en route list for
Portland, with 15 vessels, and the French
n eight ot their celebrated bounty-
earners headed In this direction, the most
recent addition to the list being the
French bark Anjou, which is coming
to this port from Shanghai!
Norway's merchant marine Is repre
sented by the little- bark Stjorn, which
has made several voyages to this port.

BROWN "WAS IN TOWN.
?he
Army "Worm Gnlns Another
Kopje on 31elvllle Farm.
Farmer Brown, of Terry, Or., who was
"""'"', cybnfcCVi iuw S...UU4.U(, --
iness in this city, came in to see now tne
longshoremen's strike was progressing
yesterday. He brings gloomy reports of
the ravages of the army worm wnlch
haveeatcn up everything green on the
farm, except Brown. The worms moved
in forco on Melville farm about a week
ago. They were first sighted by Farmer
Brown from his commanding position Jn J
the cross trees of a hay wagon. At
that time they were steering a S. by j
S. W. X. Y. Z. course for his patch of '
Imported potatoes, and without waiting '
for the glad band, they made a meal off .
of everything except the 'potato bugs,
which were considerately left for tho next
crop. . '
They then steered a straight course for
a TOimmoth oak tree which is the pride
of Melville farm. Browa referred to his '
"Hints on Practical Farming" and Im
mediately threw up an embankment of
sulphur around his favorite tree. This
pleased the army worms, and they de-
voured the sulphur as though they reli-
ished it, and then climbed the tree and
removed every leaf and stem, and as
they descended to begin chewing on the
cement walks, each worm placed a
thumb to his nose, and wiggled his fin
gers at the astonished farmer. Brown
says he never saw anything eaten with a
greater relish than the sulphur -which the
army worms devoufed. He has decided
that the best remedy is to use a shotgun,
and accordingly went back to the ranch
yesterday with a lot of fine shot, and a
keg of powder. A trmy scientific farmer
will never permit an army worm to con
quer him and walk over him with Im
punity and Brown Is a farmer from
Farmvllle.

"Wheat freights are rather weak

Accident to an Aberdeen
Fish
Steamer In Clallam Bay.
PORT CRESCENT. Wash., July 2S. The
steamer Estella, owned by the Aberdeen
(Wash.) Fish Company, ran on the rocks
at Slip Point. Clallam Bay. lapt night.
Captain Langly says he left San prnn
ci3co the morning of the lFth. and ar
rived in the Straits last night at 10" o'clock.
He came by Ncah Bay Just as the mall
steamer Alice Gertrude pulled out of that
port on her return trip to Seattle. The
captain of the Estella took the Gertrude's
course and followed hor up the Straits
until a fog belt hid her from view at Clal
lam. Tho Estella then slowed down nnd
took what they thought was the regular
route, but It proved that they were In
error, and at 11:15 o'clock P. M. she
struck, and when the tide receded she was
left high and dry. wedged between two
big rocks. The captain says ho cannot
account for the accident himself, and
never dreamed of danger until she struck.
Later the Estella was Ilea ted with a badly
damaged keel and a broken rudder. Sha
appears to be badly sprung.

TREND OF LEGISLATION
LIQUOR QXTESTIOIf, FOOD ADULTER
ATIOX, SUNDAY LAWS.
Notable Tendency Tovrnrd Socialism
la the Legislation of the Vari
ous States of the Union.
One of the functions of the Library of
the State ot New York is the collection
and classification every year of tho stat
utes passed by all the Legislatures in the
Union, says the New York Evening Post.
From a comparison of these statutes
somo notion of the general tendenoy ot
legislation may be obtained, and such a
comparison is attempted In a bulletin re
cently Issued by the State Library. The
subject Is too broad to be dealt with
except in a superficial manner, but in cer
tain lines It is practicable to note
changes which Indicate the operation of
permanent causes. If we define sbclalism
as the tendency to enlarge.the function of
Government, we must admit that the
general drift is in that direction. New
commissions and bureaus are continually
created, and more and more occupations
are subjected to Governmental inspection.
In some cases we may be able to discern
tho influence of a rational and enlight
ened public opinion, but in others wo see
tho effect of political agitation and of
class interests.
As illustrating progress of a satisfac
tory kind, we may take the legislation
affecting the liquor traffic. During the
last 60 years thi3 traffic has been pro
hibited by the laws of no less than 17
states. At present It is proscribed in
only Ave states: Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Kansas and North Dakota.
These are states In which the population
is comparatively sparse, and the farm
ing class is predominant. When we con
sider the intensity of the feeling con
cerning the evils of drinking, the fanati
cism of the Prohibition party, and the
very great moral influence of the Wom
an's Christian Temperance Union, we
must admit that the repeal of so many
prohibitory laws is a remarkable achieve
ment. Jt shows that communities do
learn by experience,, and the substitution
of local-option laws for absolute prohibi
tion is In almost all respects a distinct
gain. On the other hand, the rather
tempting experiment of the state dispen
sary system has not commended itself to
the sober Judgment of ouc people
As this bulletin points 01ft, the attempt
to instruct school children in the physi
ological effects of alcohol 13 really a sign
of progress. Instruction of this kind Is
now prescribed in all the states except
Georgia, Idaho, Virginia and Wyoming.
We have never thought that teaching
of this kind was a desirable feature in
the public school course. Muoh of it Is
extremely crude and even false; neverthe
less the method employed is better than
that of prohibitory laws. It Implies a
recognition- of the truth that persuasion
is superior to force,' and It tends to pro
mote temperance by making the effects
of alcoholic drink a subject of rational
discussion and scientific observation. We
may look forward to more correct teach
ing than now prevails, and to the gradu
al diffusion of tho truth that temperance
is but ono feature of a sound morality,
and that if our children are brought up
to desire right living, it will not be neces
sary to frighten them into abstinence by
the exhibition of appalling pictures of
tho coats of the drunkard's stomach.
We may find further instances of the
gradual recognition of changed morality
by Legislatures In the modifications of
the Sunday laws. It was not until 1S93
that the State of New Jersey removed its
legal prohibition of the publishing and
selling of newspapers, the selling of milk,
and of walking or riding for recreation.
on Sundays. Not until 1897 did Con
necticut remove its ban from recreation
on that day, and only last year did it
legalize tho operation of electric cars.
The State of California repealed Its Sun
day laws in 1SS3, but in 1S93 an act was
passed restraining employers from ex
acting more than six days' work in a
week from their men. But our legisla
tion on these subjects is extremely de
fective. Most of the old Sunday laws
ought to be swept away. They are not
enforced, and are cumbersome relics of
an outgrown morality. On the other
hand, our law's fail to recognize the fact
that the community has adopted the
view that six days' work a week is
enough. We want one day a week for
recreation; but we make little provision
for the regulation of the labor of those
who have to work in order that others
may enjoy themselves.
It is only 30 years since the first
State . Board of Health was organized
in Massachusetts. Now such boards ex
ist In all but five of the states, and their
operations will probahly be supplemented
before long by a National board. The
creation of these boards has resulted
In much Improvement In our vftal statis
tics, although In many states their regis
tration Is very Imperfect- An illustra
tion of the same tendency appears in the
legislation which purports to prevent tho
adulteration of food: but here the evi
dence of pecuniary and class Interests Is
so strong as to make It doubtful If such
law3 indicate genuine progress. The
same doubt is suggested when we review
.the legislation claiming to be in the in
terest of laborers. The first Bureau of
Labor Statistics was established in Mas
sachusetts in 1869, and such bureaus now
exist In 32 states', while the. Federal Gov
ernment also maintains one. In view of
the large cost of these bureaus, and the
partisanship to which most of them have
fallen victims, tho results which they
have achieved are not such as to Justify
their existence. They have not aided so
cial progress perceptibly, while they have
complicated our politics.
Many law3 have been passed at the
demand of the labor unions, which have
been ineffective, not only because they
were treated as creating offices to be
filled by representatives of these unlois.
but also because they constituted class
legislation. Very many of them have
been declared unconstitutional; and they
Illustrate the class of changes which
hinder genuine progress. The eight-hour
laws, which affect only laborers -employed
directly" or indirectly by Government,
cannot be regarded as In the interest
of the whole class of laborers or of the
community. They benefit a privileged
few, at the expense of the unprotected
many. Tho old guild spirit creeps back,
too. In laws Intended to restrict the num
bers of such artisans as blacksmiths and
barbers. The general welfare is invoked
here, as It always is. to Justify special
advantages, and over such attempts
great strugjrles will take place in the
future. While there are many bad laws
passed, and many changes which are not
for the better, yet as we survey the
whole field of legislation from year to
year, we discern so many advances as to
Justify us in believing that we are all
the time making genuine progress.
To Ward Off Evil.
The Engineering Magazine.
From the point of view of artistic and
essentially Oriental design tho pagoda
possesses the most interest. These singu
lar constructions, at least one of which
nearly every city possesses, fairly dot the
surface of the country. Their purpose
appears to be twofold either as monu
ments commemorating the virtues of the
munificence of some -departed benefactor,
or as agents of "feng shul" (literally)
"wind p-nd water." the spirit .genius of
good and evil, which, if properly propi
tiated, will warn oft pestilence and fam
ine and permit only prosperity and hap
piness to visit the neighborhood.
These very curious towers are of great
antiquity, Chinese" records authenticating
their origin at least as far back as the
early part of the Christian era. In size
they vary from the little ones, which are
nothing more than roadside shrines, to
what was once the most beautiful and
largest the celebrated porcelain pagoda
J of Nanking, destroyed in the Tal Ping re-
belllon. This extraordinary structure had
a height of 261 feet, was built of masonry
and covered with glazed tiles of many
colors, and was a monument to native
skill in erection as well as to artistic
sense in design- Unfortunately, most of
the large pagodas are being allowed to
crumble to decay, although some are
tended and give hope of standing for
other generations to admire. The prom
inent ones vary in height from 100 to 200
feet, are usually octagonal in plan, with
straight but tapering sides, and always
are composed of an odd number of stories.
MISSISSIPPI PILOT'S STORY
Impelled to ICcep on and So Rescued
a Boy From Death.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Men in our line of business have plenty
of queer experiences," said a veteran bar
pilot, "but I think the strangest that ever
fell to my lot happened in 1S93. right after
the great hurricane that swept down the
south coast and drowned so many poor
fisher folks on the little islands. The
storm blew itself away on a Sunday." the
pilot went on, "and next Sunday morning,
having nothing In particular to do, I de
cided to take our steamer, which was a
handy little twelve-knot craft, and go
for a two hours' run out into the gulf
from South Point to see what I could see.
The water was still full of driftwood
and wreckage from the fishermen's cabins
but we noticed nothing in particular until
we had been out about an hour. Then
one of the men on the boat sighted a
big red can buoy over to the sou'west.
It was a government mark that had brok
en away from its moorings, and he sug
gested that we go and see where It be
longed. Ordinarily I would have said all
right but something I don't know what
or why made me refuse. No,' said I,
'we won't change our course. Keep her
her head straight out for an hour longer,
and maybe we'll see something better
than runaway red cans.'
"I had no idea that my words would
come true, but in half an hour we came
in sight of a little raft dead ahead of us,
and as we got nearer we made out what
seemed to be a child on top of It. We ran
to within a couple of hundred feet before
we stopped, and then we saw that the
raft was evidently the floor of some
fisherman's cabin. The child was a boy
of 14 or thereabouts, and ho was sitting
down with his head hanging forward on
his breast and his arms stretched out
clutching the planks. He looked for all
tho world as if he were dead, but he was
only asleep, and when I rang the bell he
straightened up all of a sudden and glared
at the ship like a person In a dream. All
he had on was a little shirt. And while
we lowered a small boat and pulled over
to him he sat so, staring and not saying
a word. He had strength enough to climb
in, but when we reached the ship he
fainted.
"The poor boy had been on that floating
floor for seven days and twelve hours,"
continued the pilot. "He was the son of
a Gascon oysterman, who lived on Grand
Isle, and the hurricane had caught him
alone in their cabin. It tore the ram
shackle hut to pieces, and he found him
self adrift on the floor, which had hung
together. How he lived through the storm
Is one of those mysteries that can never
be explained, but he was carried far off
the coast, and next morning was out of
sight of land in the open Gulf. Then fol
lowed a solid week, spent without food,
water or shelter of any kind. I have been
a seafaring man all my life, and have
known of many wonderful escapes from"
death on the deep waters, but never ot
anything to compare with this. The boy
had to lie down on the raft to keep from
falling off, and when he grew weak the
crawfish bit him from head to foot until
he was a mass of wounds. He had been
a very strong, sturdy fellow, and before
the storm had weighed 1C0 pounds. When
we rescued him he weighed less than 1C0.
''Of course, most of what I have related
we learned afterward, when he was
strong enough to talk. As soon as we got
him aboard we headed for South Point. IS
miles away, for, as bad luck would have
It, there was not a particle of food, or
liquor on the ship. Fortunately, however,
we hailed the fruiter Breakwater, and
got a little brandy and a can of condensed
milk, and It was marvelous how a few
spoonfuls of nourishment revived the lad.
At quarantine I turned him over to the
doctor, and in a week he was practically
well. Then an uncle came after him. and
I have never heard from him since. I
have often wondered." said the old pilot,
in conclusion, "where the strange im
pulse came from that made me insist
upon holding our course that Sunday
morning. If I had turned aside, as the
men on board desired, the castaway
would undoubtedly have been lost. It
was not within the limit of possibility
that he could have lasted another day."
COAL PRICES GOVERN SPEED
Economy of Fuel a Controlling? Fac
tor on Pacific Liners.
Alnslee's Magazine.
Translating distances Into time suggests
that artificial limitations delay passages
across the Pacific. While the run from
New York to Queenstown has been cut
close to five days it requires 1C days to
cross from San Francisco to Yokohama,
via Honolulu. Thus thrice the time is re
quired to make double the distance In tho
Pacific, the dally run falling from ncar
550 miles to something less than 300. Of
course, this reduction rests on strict com
mercial principles. Companies in the
Pacific trade aro not forced to renew
their steamers In order to take advantage
of the latest Improvements In engineer
ing. In fact, it 13 doubtful whether tho
old types of single-screw steamers have
not wasted coal. Yet it Is certain that the
saving of fuel Is a controlling factor In
the calculations of those who manage
lines of ocean steamers, and that they
refrain from driving their vessels at full
speed accordingly.
There is no need of citing a scientific
formula to show that a moderate In
crease of speed multiplies resistance and
its equivalents In powers and fuel In a
startling ratio. High speed is ad ad
vertisement to attract passengers; where
freight is the main interest, economy is
inevitable. Even the famous Peninsular
and Oriental though more largely sub
sidized than all the Transatlantic and
Transpacific lines combined Is allowed to
carry passengers and malls at a speed
far below that demanded by the public
which sails from New York.
Everywhere east of Suez and west of
the Rocky Mountains coal Is dear, and
time is a less costly object of consump
tion. Of course, millions of tons of
freight and thousands of passengers are
likewise carried across the Atlantic at
the modest speed of S00 miles a day but
they do not boast of the experience.

Uses of Lime and Charcoal.
Ladles Home Journal.
Tho heat and moisture of the Summer
months have a tendency to rust metals,
mildew fabrics and cover all sorts of sub
stances with mold. Fermentation and
putrefaction develop rapidly In vegetable
and animal substances If they are not
carefully watched. Llmo and charcoal are
two aids toward keeping the house sweet
and dry. ad the housekeeper shou'd, if
possible, provide herself with both of
these materials. A barrel each of llmo
and charcoal In the cellar will tend to
keep that part of the house dry and swet.
A bowl of lime in a damp closet will dry
and sweeten It. A dish cf charcoal In a
closet or refrigerator will do much toward
making these places sweet. The power of
charcoal to absorb odors Is much greater
directly after it has been burned than
when It has been exposed to the air for
a length of time. Charcoal may be puri
fied and used again and again by heating
It to a red heat. The lime must be kept In
a place where there Is no chance of Its
getting wet, and not exposed to air.
