THH COLUMBIAN. 13LOOMSBU RG, PA. 5 lull Remarkable Trip Willi Many Tales of Adventure. ONE OF THE CREW LOST. Ei;;tit Thouoand Miles Sailed Without Canvas on Mainmast After a Typhoon. Castaways RcBCjsd. The Ship Spreads 6,000 Yards of Canvss. rr.rk from a Ions mil nrfvrn tuiMus voynf.o, which begun .six teen months ln'Toro, tin- Ituttihii.lt cl'i'por Koanoko lay otT Staplctoti, KlaU'n Island, rocontly with a fum; of rl.wrs somitiiK down the toiihampor of tho towering fabric, ho that, sho could pass under the Itrooklyn bridge to her berth, near tho foot of t.rntid atroet, where she lamb-d throi thou sand tons of cargo which sho took on board at Shanghai. Nearly 2,O0o tons of matting, which had bi-cn shipped at Hong-Kong, was landed at Hald ol ore. In a voyago which consumes six twin months and which 1s extended over r0,()()0 miles of blue water, many strange adventures may come. It la Interesting to note that this one more thHn rounds out her master's million miles at sea four times tho span from earth to moon. Me Is Captain Amesbnry, who nearly thirty years ago started on his wed ding trip from this port In a little two-masted schooner, of which he win master. Ho Is now master of a clip per owning four masts, though one of these was so badly sprung In a typhoon In the China seas that tho captain was afraid to trust any sail on it during the Journey was stretch ed out to the extraordinary length which has made this round trip nota ble In marine annals, and almost, if not quite, a profitless one. There was a big fleet of suiting ships riding In the Narrows, but only one showed such a Matterhorn altitude as did this giantess, and after a Ions, hard pull the rowboat came bobbing alongside. "Captain not on board." First Mate McDonald explained. "Wo bad hardly pot In," the mate continued In a voice like a foghorn, "before he gets word that his son, who Is master of the bark Adolph Obrlg, and whom ho hasn't seen for ten years. Is In port, having arrived from Singapore the day before tho Roanoke gets hero. "So he unmoors from the Roanoke and sets out looking for the Eon. No; I can't say where they bo now. Rut wherever they be you can bet they are having some long yarns to unreef. Ten years o' sea and ye'll find much to tell. "Tell about these sixteen months? Oh, yes, I can do that. No, I don't havo no call to look at the log for dates. You see, sallormen don't have so much to think about or talk about once we get started on one of these deep-sea trips, and we remember all that happens and tho time It happens, too. "We sail from here on December 22, 1902, bound for Shanghai and with 121.000 cases of oil below. "Six days out from here and we meets a gale a regular buster It was, too. We had shipped a young New Toik chap, William Hayden his name was, as likely a lad as ever went to sea. Well, sir, he was on that poop ladder there when a sea corses over the side, and he goes with It We hove her to, but couldn't rescue the lad, and when the gale blows itself out, we go on our way and rounds the Cajie of Rood Hope we were go ing that route and reach Java Head 104 days later. "There we gets the sort of weather that makes us sometimes think we was another Flying Dutchman, though what we should be doing up there In the Sunda Straits, providing we was a Flying Dutchman, yas what we couldn't figure out sertig that his cruising around Is down b the capo. But there we stuck for more than a month, and we was all of sixty-two days making the run through the China seas. "Well, we arrive at Shanghai, dis chargo our oil, take on about 3,000 tons of general cargo and go to Hong Kong, where we gets the matting be low there, ships a Japanese crew and sets sail for home." The mate here Interrupted bis nar rative to tell how amazed the Japanese were to hear that war had been de clared and of their ecltement when they heard of the Japanese successes. 'They were mighty good sallormen," ho added, "and they all left us at Raltlmorc, probably looking for some way of getting back and helping out their folks." "We made a rescue of some cast aways," tho mate resumed, "three of them adrift In a boat, and It was about time somebody picked them up, as In a little while more they would have been dead or drowned. They were eighty miles south of Borneo when we rescued them. Their schooner bad founded and they had been floating about for ten days when we gets them on board, gives them nourishment and then transfers them to a steamer. We got another gale In the Straits a monsoon that keeps us there twenty-seven days. Then we clears the straits and hits a dead calm, and straightaway one of our men falls from ulnft and kills himself. His naiiio was Kdwnrd Middleton, and he was srie of tho boBt seamen we had. How ho conies to fall from aloft nobody ever know. "'Then comes along this typhoon, and tho mainmast Is broken aud broken go badly that It looks as if it would go over tho side. We takes In sail and when tho weather moderates we put a spare spar on the after side, lap'iliig It there with chains at both em's, then wrapping a heavy hawser around mast and spar. "Hut the mast was so weakened thnt wo dared not carry sail on It, mid all the rest of the voyng" we made without using it. That took nt. leat;t out third off our speed, and what, with this and the head gales we got, wo were 1.18 days coming home," The Koanoke Is of :!,IH7 tons net, .111 feet 2 Inches long, i'J feet 2 Indies beam and 2!l fnets 2 inches depth of hold. Her four masts are 200 feet high and three feet thick at the deck. Her lower yards are 100 feet long. Iter skysull yards measure forty-seven feet. She spreads 0,000 square yards of canvas. St. Louis Republic. BOGUS CITIZENS' PAPERS. Court Officers, Judges and Other High Officials Suspected. $15 to $75. At least 100,000 fraudulent natural ization papers havo been sold to aliens by dealers In the employ of two big firms organized for the Illicit traffic. In New York City alone It Is estimated that fully ,'10,000 forged certificates of citizenship have been sold to for-' elgners who have been In the United States, In some Instances only one day. In many instnnces they have re ceived papers before they took ship on the other side. It Is estimated by those who are prosecuting tho frauds, that the two New York concerns have turned out In the last year at the most conservative estimate C.ooO bogus citizens. Many of these "citi zens" obtained places in the street cleaning department with the aid of the fraudulent papers and many were employed In other branches of the city's civil service. The price of these fraudulent certificates ranged from $1" to $75, accord In s to the use to be made of them and the value of the city Jobs that went with them. In Chicago thousands of aliens no one knows how many were made citizens while they waited. One wit ness testified that ho with one hun dred others was "naturalized" at one "pwearlng In" In a hall on Clark street. From Wilmington, Del., taking in Philadelphia; as far north as Albany and Troy and as far east as Provi dence and Roston this wholesale sys tem of fraud Ins extended. Officers of the court, even a Judge of a court, Rnd bankers ar.d others standing high In the communities are under sus picion, and evidence sufficient to con vict many others has been secured, i The order went out In the begin ning thnt the Investigation should be far-reaching In Its scope. Every one connected with the prosecution was given to understand In the plainest Kn:;!ish that politics positively must cut no figure. These Instructions have bren adhered to strictly. The result Is that many convictions have been made. So far these convictions have been for the most part of men who occupied minor parts In the system, but they have led up to a most re markable expose of tho methods em I ployed In the great conspiracy, j In some Instances the fraudulent i naturalization has been conducted for the purpose of securing votes, but In tho majority of cases the crimes have been committed purely for gain. It is Impossible to say what extent these frauds have extended and how long they have been In existence. It Is likely, though, that they have been In operation for several years. An Idea of the amount of money that has been . secured mny be obtained by an est!- mate on tho number of false papers believed to have been Issued In New York. Of the 30,000 bogus certificates, said to have been sold here, It is be lieved that an average price of $20 was received by the "firms" dealing In these articles, making $000,000 In this locality alone in tho last few vears. On' this hasls It Is said that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been made In the sale of fraudulent certificates of citizenship throughout the country. Brooklyn Eagle. The Mexican Succession. Mexico is at last to have a vice president. In tho experience of South aud Cen tral Americans tho chief use of a vice president has been to lead the current revolution against the president. Per haps that Is why Mexico has never had one. But Diaz is getting old. Ho was president from 1877 to 1880 and the power behind Gonzales's feeble ad ministration for the next four years. Beginning again In 1884, Diaz has been president for twenty years "straight." In this total of twenty-seven years of power Mexico has become modern. All Its railways have been built In that time, Its prosperity has greatly augmented. Rut Diaz Is old. At his death, which may not be long delayed, Mexico wishes to avoid any possibility of trouble by having a vice-president In office. It is under stood that ho will succeed to the power when occasion shall be, and if satis factory will bo re-elected indefinitely. The official "promulgation" of the constitutional amendment creating the office of vice-president will soon take place. Tho city council will go In open carriages and put up posters containing the amendment on the street corners. An army corps will parade the streets to prevent any dis turbance. After thnt the election. It Is not much like tho ways of the United States. It Isn't much use for a girl to fish for compliments with a hook noso. Not even the most enterprising un dertaker seeks to bury tbe Dead Pea. mi h us I Prices Increasing Very Rapidly on All Goods. HIGHEST COST SINCE 18;c Statistics of the Government Show That Despite Great Prosperity the Privilege of Living Has Become More Expensive. Facts Given But No Remedy Suggested. A bulletin of tho Agricultural Depart ment Just Issued throws light on the question of tho Increased cost of living In litOit over tho preceding thirteen years. The first table shows that the av erage relative prices of all commo dities wero higher In 1!M),1 than at nny time slnco and Including 1Si)0. Farm products nmched the lowest averago In 18!G and the highest in 11I02. Cloths ami clothing were lowest In 1897. to highest In 18!0. Fuel and lights were lowest In 1804 and highest In UtO.'l. Metals and Implements were lowest In 18!I8 and highest In 1'JnO. Lumber and building materials were lowest In 1807 and highest In 1 Sl:t. Raw commodities and manufactured commodities have been separated for further examination. In the group designated as "raw" are Included all farm products, beans, coffee, cg.:;9, milk, rice, nutmegs, pepper, tea. vege tables, raw silk, wool, coal, crude pet roleum, copper lngot3, pig lead, ply Irons, bar silver, spelter, pig tin. brim Rtone and rubber a total of fifty arti cles. The average price of all these com modities during January and Febru ary 1903, was 33 per cent, ribove tho averago price for the preceding ten years, and the averago price for tho year was 22.7 per cent, higher than for the same period. Manufactured commodities advanced to a level only exceeded In the year 1890. They were higher by 21.3 per cent than In 1897, by 11 per cent, than In 1899, and about 1 per cent, higher than In 1892. The statistics show a decrease In the price of beef from 1902, but tho relative price, compared with the per iod since 1890, shows an Increase in cattle of 4.7 per cent. Under the head of farm products, consisting of sixteen articles, It la shown that wheat Increased 5.1 per cent; steers, good to choice, 6.9 per cent; timothy hay 19.02, corn 21,1 per cent, barley 21.3 per cent, hides 24.8 per cent, oats 31.7 per cent, hogs 37 per cent, cotton 44.7 per cent, New York hops, 59.5 per cent. There was a decrease of 1.3 per cent In sheep, 7.5 In rice and 5.9 per cent In flax seed. Fifty-three articles of food are given and on thirty-five of these there Is an Increase over the average for the preceding thirteen years, ranging from 5 per cent on bread to 72 per cent on pepper roin Singapore. A 5 per cent 1'icrease occurred on dried codfish and potatoes, 6 per cent on butter and. 10 per cent on canned salmon. New Orleans molasses Increased 12.5 per cent, Western hams 17 per cent, eggs 23.2 per cent, cornmeal 23 and 25 per cent, smoked hams 34 per cent, lard 34 per cent, beans 35 per cent, bacon and salt pork 42 and 43 per cent, and herring 51 per cent. There was a decrease in sugar of from 1.2 to 5 per cent. In flour 6.4 per cent, In evaporated fruits about 28 per cent. Of seventy articles of clothing, the prices of fifty-six for 1903 were higher than the average price for the pre ceding period since 1890. The In creases ranged from .3 per cent for ginghams to 20.8 per cent for sheet ings. Woman's dress goods were 14.3 per cent higher, overcoatings 17.3 per cent higher and blankets 17.9 per cent higher. The table of fuel and lighting shows an astonishing Increase in the cost to the consumer. The Increase during 1903 over the average price, refined 150 degrees fire test, was 53.1 per cent, petroleum for exports 32.5 per cent, anthracite coal 26.2 per cent, anthracite stove coal 27.1 per cent, anthr?e'e chestnut coal 34.2 per cent, anthr;e ;a egg coal 34.4 per cent. The only Item in this class showing a de cline Is parlor matches, which fell off 14.1 per cent. Tho average In crease for 1903 over the period since 1890 was 49.3 per cent. Of tho twenty-six articles considered In the lumber and building group, twenty wero above and six below the averago price for 1890 to 1899. White pine boards, uppers, were 71.8 per cent above tho average; spirits of tur pentine, 71 per cent above; poplar, 58. 3 per cent above; pine doors, 58.2 per cent above. Plate glass, . area throe to five, square feet, was 27.7 per cent below the averago price for 1890 to 1899; plate glass, area five to ten square feet, 16.9 per cent below; putty, 10.8 per cent below. Tho lowest price for sugar was In 1894 and the highest price In 1890. Sugar was about 8 and 10 per cent lower In 1903 than during the pre ce'"ng thirteen years. Took What He Could Get. In the province of Baden a motorist recently killed a goose. The owner was Indignant and demanded 3 shill ings damages. The motorist offored hlm2shllllngs damages.plus the goose, which he did not want to carry off. Not being able to come to terms, the parties went to the mayor, who de livered the following Judgment: "Mr. Sepp, give me your goose, Inasmuch as you do not want It. Mr. Motorist, give me tho 2 shillings you are will ing to pay as damages. I give Mr. Sepp 1 shilling fur his goouo, which I Unc;!" And tua It vias seUad. MEDIEVAL RITES. Used To-Day in Murder Trials In Quaint Old Delaware. At tho recent trial of a woman for murder at Denver, Del., many quaint ceremonies were In evidence. Delaware clings to the old Kng lish forms of legal procedure. Tho Jurymen, after being chosen, were or dered by the crier to "go to the book' an then wero sworn "on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty flod." The sheriff was ordered to bring the pris oner to tho bar and he and his deputy went out and to the Jail. After an interval back they march across the village green, the sheriff In the bad carrying a red stick, on the end ;i which was a white spearhead. Behind him came the prisoner In a black dress, and wearing black cot ton gloves and a large black hat with a veil drawn closely over her face Behind her came the deputy carrying a black spear. This Is a perpetuation of the old English custom, except thnt spears are used Instead of battle axes. The red stick and white spears signify that blood has been shed anj the black spear is an omen of th? doom that threatens the prisoner. Tho place of the black spear Is In the rear of the procession unless thero should be a conviction, when It la carried at tho front to show that ven geance has triumphed and the white spear follows to show the cause of the Impending punishment. Solemnly through the crowded court-room, hushed in awe, came this queer little procession. The white spear traversed the space in front of the prisoner's dock, a small Inclosura screened by an oak railing fn! ly six feet high. The black spear stopped at the further end, and Mrs. Powell was told to sit down. The spears were propped against the pillars of the dock, and there they stayed as long as the prisoner remained in the court room. The Indictment in ancient phrase ology fixed the value of tho weapon used, "a knife and a certain bottle," at 10 cents because the old law pre sumed them the property of the state, and It charged Mrs. Powell in wordy detail with having committed the murder "without having the fear of Cod before her eyes and being moved and seduced by the Instigation of the devil." In the awesome language of tha English law the crier read from the indictment a description of each and every one of the 53 wounds found on tho girl's body. His enumeration be gan: "One wound on the left side of the head of her, the said Estollo Albln, an Inch long and a half inch deep, in flicted by her, the said Mary A. Pow ell, sho not having the fear of God be fore her eyes and being moved and seduced by the Instigation of the devil; one wound In throat of her, the said Estelle Albln, six inches wide and four Inches deep, inflicted by her, the said Mary A. Powell, she not having tho fear " and so on through the whole list. New York Herald. An Elephant Goes Wrong. One of the more recent Instances of bad elephants was Baruum & Barnura & Bailey's famous clown "Mandarin," who killed three men and maimed a fourth, and was finally strangled by a steam winch on board the steamship Minneapolis, Just before the menagerie reached New York har bor from its tour abroad. As a tall, gaunt, hungry, 5-year-old, Mandarin Joined the show thirty years ago, had grown Into a splendid, intelligent, gray mountain of good nature, and never showed even a trace of ugliness until the circus was "doing" France. Flap ears cocked forward, trunk swinging restlessly and little eyes growing more bloodshot, the lino fellow stood, cease lessly swaying his six tons from side to side. The animal, however, showed no Inclination toward ugliness until a substitute trainer was duped into putting the tricky old rascal through his paces. The man laid himself flat on the ground to have the elephant walk over him, exactly as the big clown had walked over men thousands of times before. As usual, the beast advanced, head bobbing with every step, he lifted his ponderous foot let it hover over the man, then, with shrill trumpeting of fury, planted It squarely on the unfortunate's chest with all the pressure of his 14.000 pounds. Blasting madly, the animal started on a run, picked up a hyena cage and smashed It, with one blow of his trunk broke the back of a mule, and would have cleared out tho show were It not for a pair of equally huge tuskers that were brought In on a run to butt and prod the crazy one back to his Renses. A. W. Rolker In McClure's. Guns That Shoot in a Hurry. A most striking recent develop ment in guns and In speaking of guns we usually Include the gun carriage or gun mount Is the effort, now uni versal, to throw tho accurate and quick control of the gun Into the hands of tho people firing it. It may well bo wondered that this has not always been a controlling idea in lay ing out guns and their mounts, but at the present time it Is In this direction that tho greatest effort is being made. Tho proof of this Is to be seen by a comparison of tho guns and mounts made ten or fifteen years ago with those now being made. The latter aro arranged much more conveniently, and consequently their rate of lire Is much faster. Modern G-lnch guns are being fired from ships eight or ten times a minute at targets about tho size of a ship and a niilo distant, and hit ting the target at each shot. Scien tific American. Still Central Punna. The thirty fourth annual conven tion of the Central Pennsylvania Kpiscupil diocese held their delib erations in KeaJing, thjie being 132 delegates present. It had been expected that the n.ime of the dio cese would he changed in accord ance with the wish of liishop Tal bot, but so much opposition to any change developed that the project was voted down by almost 2 to I, and the name will remain unchang cd. The convention was notable as lxdng the first since the division of the diocese and the setting off of the diocese ofllarrisburg. V. 15. Fry of Drifton urged that the name of l'. thiehem be adopted for sentimental reasons, and the Ilazleton delegation consisting of T. M. Morris, A. I'. I'latt and Kev. Varnall sided with him. Secretary V. R. 15utler of the boat l of missions gave a volumin ous report of the mission work dur ing the year. He showed that the treasurer's renort indicated a defi- j cit of $2,977, al,J t,lflt a J"'11 com ' tnittee of the old and new dioceses would meet in Reading next month to adjust the mission boundaries of the two dioceses. New churches were erected in Catasauqua nt a cost of $3,ooo, Strondsburg $8,000, Reading $7, 000, Dorraucetou has $6,coo pledg ed for a new church, and Wyalus ing $1,000. Lehighton has pur chased a lot for $i,yoo, and Pal merton will be given a new church by a wealthy parishioner. - Salaries Increased- In the annual readjustment of the salaries of postmasters two towns in this county are included The postmaster's salary at Benton is rais ed from $1000 to $1300, and at Catawissa from $1300 to $1500.
