After a royage of 105 day, from
Bremerhaven to Astoria direct, beat
lag all German sailing ship jpcords
by five days, and all English record,
by six, the beautiful Germany bark,
Herxogin (Duchess) Sophie Char
lotte, one of the training ships of the
North German Lloyd, the greatest
ocean-transit concern in the world,
catered this port yesterday afternoon
on the hawsers of the Wallula. and
went to aa anchorage off Tongue
Point She was 400 miles off the
Columbia bar on the 98th day of the
Yoyage, and has been beating on and
off for that time. Her officer and
crew of cadets are wonderfully
pleased with the splendid showing
she made from the Lixard to Cape
Disappointment, and the credit is all
their own, whatsoever share they
, may concede to the fine ressel that
ccomplished it
She carries 77 souls all told. Her
roster being at follows: Captain, F.
"Glund; First Officer S. Bremer; Sec
ond Officer, G. Stosch; Third Officer,
G. V. Schnehen; Fourth Officer, W.
Xaraberg; Navigation Teacher, G
Steppes; Ship's Physician, Dr. Theo
pold; First Cook, K. Husch; First
tSeward, E. Vollmer; and 12 various
Steward, E. Vollmer; and 12 various
carpenter, sailmaker, biker, Lamp-
German Lloyds. The system is as
wonderfully adequate to the end it
serves and unit " perfection
in this relation as any known to a
tea-going people anywhere.
Captain Glund reports that at 2:58
o'clock a. m. on the 7th of November,
when about 140. miles off the lower
Oregon coast, they experienced sev
eral sharp earthquakes that mads
things hum for a half hour or so, the
imnression siven by the shocks be
ing that of the ship going upon rocks,
and for a moment or two tne iasi
man on board was up against a
problem rarely met with on the high
sea but which soon explained itseu
in ih vrnetitions that ensued. It
may be mentioned, incidentally, that
thi Mnerience was simultaneous
with the reoorta of the violent earth
i.. in nmrr California, on the
Mexican line, dealt with in the press
dispatches of that date.
The Sophie Charlotte is in port
for orders. Captain Glund had ex
pected to receive them off shore here,
but having failed to materiliie he
was compelled to bring his fine ves
sel into port and make specific in
quiry; a-circumstance no one in As
toria will regret for an instant. It ia
to be deplored that the ship could not
have been berthed at a point nearer
the city, o that an Interested public
might have had a cahnce to observe
this model marine establishment and
appreciate the courtesy of her om-
cers and men which they are oniv
too willing to manifest if the chance
is but given them. She is liable to
he here for a day or two awaiting her
orders; and the presumption is that
she will be in possession of them to
day or tomorrow. She is out on a
year's tour, and is due back at Bre-
merhaven about the first of Aogust
next
Her sister ship, the Herxogin. Ce
cile, of the same company and same
line of duty, is due here in the coutse
of two or three week.

How to Cart a Cold.
B as careful as you may you will oc
casionally take cold, and when you do,
get a medicine of known reliability,
one that has an established reputa
tion and that is certain to effect a
quick cure. Such a medicine is
Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. It
has gained a world wide reputation
bv its remarkable cures of this most
common ailment, and can always be
depended upon." It acts on nature
clan, relieves the lungs, aids expec
toration, open the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system
to a healthy condition. During the
many years in which it has been in
general use we have yet to learn of
a single case of cold or attack of the
grip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used, which
shows conclusively that it is a cer
tain preventive of that dangerous
disease. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
