ISTHMIAN IS UADLY DAMAGED American-Hawaiian Liner Towed Into San Diego. San Diego, Cal., Dec. 21. Eighteen feet down at the head, her stem twist ed, 24 feet of water in the fore peak and a gaping hole in the forward part of No. 1 hold, the American-Hawaiian freighter Isthmian, which struck a submerged rock at the northern end of Ban Benito Island at 4:15 o'clock Frl- aay morning, was towed Into port' at 6 O'clock Saturday nltrhf bv h nri Bahada. Misfortune, which attended the Isth mian from the time she steamed from San Pedro, reached a climax when the richly laden freighter became impaled on a submerged rock about 60 yards from the northern end of San Benito Island, was again manifested when the vessel, in entering the harbor. suddenly lurched, pulling the towlnir usj v pon u n in waier ruined into the cabin windows. Only the action of the Bahada's skipper m grabbing an ax and cutting the towing hawser pre vented the craft from foundering by the sudden broaching of the Isthmian. Acting under orders, Captain F. Ryer refused to make any statement, ft Is understood he will be not permit ted to discuss the accident Until h,e faces a board of Inquiry conducted by United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Uuthrle and Dolan. Members of the crew, however, blame the Isthmian's misfortunes to a black cat which one -of the engineers' fores brought aboard a few minutes before the freighter unmoored at San Pedro. f The entire cargo probably will e discharged and the Isthmian : sent to San Francisco to bo repaired.

The conversation at a social session in Washington the other night turned to the proficiency of some people in the matter of making sarcastlo re marks, and Congressman P. Padgett of Tennessee waf reminded of an In cident that t reccrHly happened at a Chautauqua ' entertainment. In the audience was a man who In sisted on talking aloud to the great annoyance of those about him. More than one ftoowling look was cast in bis direction, and finally an esteemed citizen became indignantly eloquent. "Look here, young man," he ex claimed, shaking a finger In the di rection of the offender, "don't you know tnat you are annoying everybody in the house? Can't you stop talking and let us enjoy the lecture?" "Oh, I don't know," was the Cool response of the chirpful party. "1 paid for my ticket, and I don't know why I'm not entitled to all the priv ieges that go with it-" "Let him talk, mister," suddenly In terposed a smajl boy. "He, works in a deaf and dumb asylum and this Is his night off.'" Spoiled His Chance. From the Louisville Oourler-Journat "Why don't you propose to that girl? Tou like her and I'm sure she would have 'you." "All trueA but there Is an Insuper able obstacle between us." "All family or religious objections can be overcome." Nothing like that. I got a little too gay when I first met her and told her I was getting 850 a week, whereas I am getting only $25."
