The crew had asked Captain Gillies in turn to shelter under Long Point. Jut he thought it safe to go ahead, and d?d not change his mind until he was tin miles beyond the point. The vio lence of the ftorm and the fact that his boat was leaking frightened him. and h endeavored to bring her around. She as caught In the trough of the sea and began to ship water in such quantities that the whole crew was sent below to the pumps. While they were trying to keep the water from rising one of the rumps broke and half the crew was equipped with fire-buckets and a line was formed to ball her out. The Captain' Last Ilopr. But the water rose steadily and soon attacked the engine fire. Ten minutes later the fires were out and the ship was tossing powerless in the grasp of the pea. Captain Gillies' last hope was that he might catch an anchor, and in the dark on the wave-swept decks the crew put out the anchors. While they were giving more line to the port anchor the stern began to sink. Half a dozen jailurs who were below dashed for the deck and trampled one of their number to death in their mad haste to get out of the Hooding hold. Most of the crew ran for the llfeboata Those who were not washed overboard were drowned when the small boats were ewamped. Clll and La Force got on the end of the deckhou?e as the stern sank and climbed into the rigging. They got up to the crow's nest and were there when the Idaho eettled down on bottom. There they clung, slowly freezing to death. "It was 1 o'clock, about." said Gill when speaking of the rescue, "when we saw a third stack and a puff of smoke up the lake. 'This time said the mate, 'we must stop her or die.' With that he began to swing his hat. He told me to wave my arms, but it was impossi ble. An Anxious Fifteen Minutes. "The best I could do was to wiggle my left hand just the least bit, and this took all my strength. He did enouRh for us both and got some exer cise for It. He waved toward the shore also. Then the puffs of smoke changed their course. 'She sees us," said the mate In a frantic voice. "The next fifteen mlrutes were the most anxious ones I have ever spent. I watched and waited till my eyes ached. I could not believe that the boat was coming for us, but she was. Slowly fhe came, on and on, and In a little while we could make out her hull. The rest was easy. The boat ran up to us and began to lower a yawl. It was washed In a jiffy. Captain Root did mighty well. He tried twice to run alongside us. but the sea was too heavy. Then he tried to run head on, but he missed. Four times his boat, the Mariposa, ran around us, and at last her nose bumped almost against me and the second mate. I found that I could not unfasten my hands. One of the men on the rescuing boat had to pull them off the mast like a lever and two others hauled me on the deck of the boat' LIEUTENANT O'BRIEN IN ARREST. I'roHprutor of Captain llomeyn May Have to Fare a Court-Martial. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9. Some months ago, when Captain Henry Romeyn, the convicted defendant in the sensational court-martial held at Fort MePherson, was granted an honorable discharge through the good offices of President McKlnley, he prophesied to the officers at Uncle Sam's post that six months would not elapse before his departure from the ranks would be followed by that of Lieutenant O'Brien, his prose cutor. On the recent march of the Fifth In fantry from Atlanta to Chattanooga O'Brien was chief of the engineering corps that planned the route and the trip. On arrival at Chattanooga the lieutenant disappeared, and for the whole anen days of the regiment's stay In the mountain city Is said to have enjoyed himself. He was not on hand when the troops went to the Nashville exposition and when he finally did re Port he was placed In arrest. O'Brien represented the army in the China Japan war and so conducted himself in the Flowery kingdom that he was recalled. Fire t LonUvllle, Ky. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.

Ouo day, a year ago last summer, Captain Murray, her skipper, hoard a great buzz ing In the air, und looking up he saw a cloud of bees making directly toward him. Doing unused to such apparitions he run Into tho cnbiu and awaited developments. The bees lighted on the port rail, near the gangway, forming a bunch which ap peared to tho captain's eyo to be bigger than a peck measure. Before the captain knew what had become of them they dis appeared from sight, and then ho found that they had gone through a hole and made themselves at home In the side of the vossel. ' The captain and crow goon became used to the company of the bees, and thought nothing of having n dozen of them buzz Mng around their heads at once, for boos soldom sting unless molested. One day tho vessel wan ordered out to relieve the lightship at Sandy Hook, nnd for nearly two months tho bees were buffeted about on the water, but they seemed to thrive on the diet of brown sugar provided for them by the sailors, and never became sua sick. An unlucky dav arrived, however, when a bee fancying friend of the captain offered to purclmso tho nueon of tho swarm and tried to drive her from her stroughold by the uso of tobacco smoko. The bees re fused to bo driven out, and a denser smoko was created with gunpowder and other fuel. Tho result was that all the bees were suffocated, and they were taken out after ward from tho bottom of a vessel with a dinner. Tho cantaln and crow mourned sincerely for tho loss of their pots, and every sailor's heart of them shuddered secretly at the thouirht of eoing to sea after they had al lowed such u manifest defiance of Provi- donco to occur on board their vessel. Their surprise and pleasure were therefore un bounded when, a fow days later, another 6Warm was seen in tho rigging, apparent iv lookliuz for a place to alight. "It's good luck!" shouted the captain and this time, instead of running away ho spread out some brown sugar on ft white sheet, as ho had been told by his lKji..ic!.ccnlng friend to do In such emor gonoios, placed a soapbox on edge over the sugar and began heating a tin pan to ai tract tho attention of tho bees. ills on on were not in vain. With littlo persuasion the bees entered tho box nnd mado them selves at homo, whero they remain to thi day and may bo seen by any ono who has tho curiosity to visit the picturesque ngnt- houso station. Tho box has been naucu to tho sido of the vessel, and holes have been bored In It, so that It Is now ns com fortable and convenient a hive as any col ony of bees noed have. New York Trib une.

Up to a few months ago there was another hold ing a charter from the State of Wiscon sin, but in consequence of the removal of its headquarters to Illinois the charter has been forfeited at the Instigation of the State officials. Long hefore the above article appeared in the local papers have we warned the people of the copper country ol the un scrupulous men who are practicing med icine; there are thousand of them scat tered throughout this country, who make a living by praying upon the sick and flilhcted; we have long warned the people to be careful whom toey employ as their physician, as he rmy be one who has either bought or stolen a piece of paper, and after filling in bis name, calls ita diploma.

A'hen I was a boy," said the mlddlo id man, "there wua a bootjack lu every homo. In some homes there was ono for the father and ono for each of the sons, but the one bootjack homos got ulung very comfortably, for they didn't all want to uso it at once. Tho boys went to bed early and loft the bootjack for tho old man. "Bootjacks were made of wood and of iron. Originally they were all made of wood. The wooden bootjack had a wedge shaped owning sawed In ono end. Some times this opening wau roundod out to fit the heel of the boot. Just back of this opening, on the underside of the boot jack, a little strip or block of wood was nailed or screwed on across to raise the Jaw end of the bootjack off the floor. The fcootjack was sometimes of the 6ame width at both ends, sometimes It was shaped down a little toward the floor end, and sometimes it was curved In a little at the side to give It more symmetrical propor tions. The Iron bootjack was made much more ornamental than tho wooden boot Jack. "If a man's boots came off easily, he could pull thorn off with a bootjack while sitting In a chair. If they were tight or damp, and so came off hard, ho stood up to it, putting ono foot on the end of tho fcootjack to hold it down and wedging the heel of the other boot llrmly into tne oooi jack's jaw. Then he pulled. Sometimes the boot came; sometimes It didn't; sometimes, if tho boot was wet and camo off particularly hard, a man would upset himself in his struggles. It was wiso, when the boots were very hard, to hold ou to something for support. Grown up men have been known to lose their temper over millina oil their b)ots. "In those days everybody men and boys wore boots, and tbe number ol boot lacks required to supply tho regular do maud was great, and tho bootjack was also commonly used then to throw at cats nights. Many thousands of bootjacks were annually lost or broken In this way. The total annual consumption of boot jacks was something enormous, and tho manufacture of bootjacks was a thriving industry. "Whero is tho bootjack now? In these days only horsemen and farmers wear boots, ami tho bootjack lias fallen from its high estate.,r New York Suu. A STORY ABOUT THE SULTAN. Ilia Averlnn to Proper French Pronan-. elation anil the Letter F. Some cf Mr. Canning's fads I well remember. For instance., he knew tho French lauguago well, but nothing could Induce him to pronounce it properly. He pronounced all tho words as If they were English. I kuow not what reason ne gavo. for this, or whether he gave any. It was his way, and ho would not alter it. Ho had alwj koiiih queer idea about spelling. Ilewasgreatlyaversetotliolettur l, ana I have seen notes to my father In which, the word fat was spelled "phat," and other words in a similar manner. He asserted that this wad the correct method of epelK lng. I will hero endeavor to describe MrN Canning's dress. I well remember how he was attired ono evening In the summer time nankeen tights, narrowed toward the ankle, and fastened there somehow; nankeen walstcoast, blue, perhaps about a shade darker than Oxford bluo; tall coatt a broad plaited cambrlo frill all down the shirt front; his watch in a "fob," or littlo pocket in the trousers, with his chain and seals dangling. (I forget whether lie had a gold chain or the more common rlbbou. I Incline to think it was a ribbon. A stiff "watered" ribbon, generally blue, was much worn at that period.) The. morning dress had the some sort of coat, but real trousers, not drawn in at tho ankle. At the period I am speaking of, about 1819 or lb0, gentlemen gonerally wore iu tho evening kneo breeches, black, with long black silk stocking, and very small buckles on their shoos, but very soon after that data all the young men in the evening woro trousers, leaving the other costume to their elders, and speedily tho generality cf the elders followed suit. But for rid ing, as even to this day in tho hunting fluids, shorts and topboots were common, though I never saw my father in those, great rider as he was, as lie always rodo in trousers fastened under tho foot with leather straps. Soon those straps oeeamo the fashion for gentlemen all day long. Gradually, very gradually, tho frock coat superseded tho swallowtail" for morning, wear, the blue sometimes changed to brown, and the gilt buttons disappeared, to give place to such as are worn to this day. By tho year 1824 or 1825, I think, men's dress was very much as it is now, except that tho waist is now rather longer, but it was not so short in old days as tho caricaturists make it out to have boon.

Simply bocauso ho considers an Ironclad a dangerous instru ment in tho hands of any minister or reso lute commander. It is true that there aro bo ships to guard his coasts, but also thero is none to steam up tho Bosporus and throw a shell into his palace, and that Is tho first object to bo thought of. Tho incident which led to tho order for the extinction of tho Turkish navy was as follows: A transport was bringing a num ber of time expired men home, when they respectfully mutinied and begged their offi cers to go bolow, as they wished to do something which might not bo approved nf Sniiia noncommissioned officers then took command and anchored off Dolma Bagtcheh, and after firing a small salute began shouting, "Long live the sultan!" This demonstration caused Immediate confusion at the palace, and various high officials were dispatched to parley with the mutineers, but they insisted on seeiug the minister, and when lie at last appeared, they said that thoy know tho sultan had given tho money to pay them, but that they had not received it, and they would not budgo until thoy did. No arguments were of any avail, and tho money had to bo sent for and distributed, after which tho men weighed anchor with a cheer, and gavo up the ship again. Tho sultan, however, reflected that what n transport had done peaceably a him, ho declared that.ho wanted no mnrn nnvv. In this lluht hearted manner a i branch of national defense, which had been tho prldo of Its officers, was sacrificed to tho royal fears for personal safety, and Hassan Pasha, who has steadily carried out his master's programme, ha over since been in liih favor anu i-, to all in tents and purposes, minister for lifo.--bniyrua Letter in London Standard. THE HONCST TURKS. A Valuable Diamond King That Worked IU Way Up From the Hanks. Tho following is a characteristic anoo dote : When tho batteries of tho Ingour wero taken, the first soldier who entered, per ceiving a Hussiau colonel lying dead upon tho ground, pluc ked olt his glove and ap propriated a valuable diamond ring which was upon his finger. Knowing, hov.over, that it would bo impossible very long t keep secret tho possession of so valuable u. prize, he showed his usbashl, or captain, his treasure and requested permission tcx keep it. . Tho usbashl told tho man that ho wn v. quite right to bring tho prize to him, and that henceforth It should bo transferred tiL tho finger of tho said usbashl. Tho soldier, not satisfied with this ar rangement, referred the matter to tho, blmbashl, or major, who said that both ho, and the usbashl were highly culpable iu daring to retain tho ring from their su perior officer, and that he would thcrtfom relieve them of tho subject of dispute.'
