THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURft, 1'A. T I Terrible Two Days Struggle on Board the Steamship Low thcr Castle TRAGEDY OF THE INDIAN OCEAN Wing Kee Discerns a Noble Soul Re Jncarnate In Chang Fierce Re vange for the Murder Done by a Heedless Billow. Brooklyn, N. Y. There was mutiny on board the steamship Lowther Cas tle, which arrived here a few day since from far Eastern ports, mutiny that lasted two days and two nights. Before it was quelled and the muti neers were safe In the hold fourteen of them had paid the penalty with their lives and their bodies were thrown to the fishes. When the Lowther Castle, Capt. William Llghtoller, flying the British flag, sailed from Yokohama with a Chinese crew the officers did not be lieve that there would be trouble. All went well until after the ship left Singapore and was out In the Indian Ocean well on her way to Port Said. At Singapore the bumboat men and other traders had come alongside with monkeys many monkeys, both large r, ,1 ..,,.n11 .. .. 1 Singapore, and when the vessel sailed there were fifty of them stowed In the hold, to say nothing of two fine ring tailed simians that Wing Kee, tho cook, had In a cage in the galley. Wing Kee bought his pair from the Maluy servant of a Chinese merchant who lived In the town of Djokjokarta. which Is In central Java. A few days later Wing thought that he saw In the eyes of the female, which he had named Kl Ki, a piteous appeal for liberty, so he opened the cage door ever so little and let her out Kl Kl rontned about the decks happy as a lark. If monkeys ever get that happy, but always at meal times she was to be found near the gallery petting her mate, Chang, through tho bars. One day tho cook decided that there would be no particular harm in letting Chang have his liberty so Chang Joined Kl Kl and the two climbed all over the ship. One night there came a typhoon m out of the south and the waves led high on the bosom of the Indian e.m. The gale Increased; so did the fears r' the Chinese crew and they burned 1 :e works to frighten away the storm devtls that were pursuing the ship. The noise of the firecrackers and the giare oi me Koman canaies ingnienea poor little Ki Kl and she bounded from one Bide of the deck to the other in terror. Finally she leaped on the port rail just as a huge sea came over the port bow. Wing Kee, seeing the danger to his pet, ran from the gallery to save her. But he was too late; the ring tailed one was caught on the crest of the wave and carried away. Chang from his cage top in the gal lery saw Kl Ki go overboard, and rush ed to the side. He gazed at the trou bled waters and then went to the cook. He caught Wing by the trous ers and seemed to be trying to ask him to save Ki Kl. The next day the storm abated. Chang would eat no breakfast and climbed to the foremast head. There he sat the entire day, looking out over the sea and chattering to himself. Night came and still Chang clung to the fore truck. One of the crew went after him, but returned to the deck minus part of his cherished queue. Another tried to get the monkey down and was frightfully scratched. The morning of the third day Chang was not to be found and it was thought that during the night he had jumped into the ocean where his mate had gone. At midnight Second Officer Donohue took the bridge. All was quiet save for the throb of the eng'nes and the muffled footfall of the lookout on the "bow. Then there was heard a terrible noise below. A rush as of many feet, a chattering as of many tongues, and fifty forms rushed from the hold up the after companionway and on to the deck. Forward they rushed, tumbling over one another In their eagerness to be at the front "What the mischief is the matter beret" yelled the second officer. "The monkeys!" screamed the bos'n. "They have escaped!" And before the bos'n could say more, they had pounced upon him and felled him to the deck. The struggles of the bos'n, combined with the cries of the second officer and others of the watch, brought all hands on deck. As the captain hurried from the cabin and the Chinese scurried from the forecastle, they were met by the monkeys, wtio seemed bent on mis chief. Time aad again the monkeys were chased to cover only to return to the attack, and for the next two days al most the entire crew were fighting for ihelr lives against a wily foe. When fourteen of the larger mon keys had been killed, the rest were cowed and secured in their cages, rom which they had been liberated by t hang. Chang himself went back to tho foremast head and gazed toward the C II CREW MONKEY 1 APPLES AND SHRIMP PILAU. A Dish which SUnds at the Head of American Viands. "Most people will agree," says the New York World, "that the apple Is the king of fruits. It is good to eat as it conies from tho tree. It can be prepared in many ways for the table. Pressed by the old-fashioned process It makes a superior beverage. It Is more than merely healthful. To many people it Is an appetizer, a relish, a food and a medicine all In one." This is another way of saying that the ap ple Is to tho fruit kingdom what the shrimp is to the shellfish kingdom. Tho shrimp has all these advantages except one; it cannot be pressed into a beverage, but the probihitlonlsts are about to deprive the apple of that vir tue. In the mean time the shrimp pilau, when composed of South Caro lina rice and Charleston shrimp, stands at the head of American dishes. It Is a dainty beyond compare. It is cheap. It is filling. It Is nourishing. For eight months in the year a man may "live like a lord" on shrimp pilau alone. Ways of Raising Money for Charity. The method of raising money for charities by such means as the con ferring of decorative coat labels on "tag day," is not altogether original. From times Immemorial in China a donation of 20,000 taels to charity has secured for the donor the much-prized peacock's feather, while for half that sum a title of nobility is conferred on one's ancestors to tho third genera tion. The late emperor of Brazil fol lowed the same method when erecting a hospital In Rio de Janeiro. Having found a difficulty in obtaining the nec essary funds, he announced that the title of "baron" was to be conferred on every subscriber of 10,000 mllrels, nnd that of "count" on subscribers of 2"0,000 mllrels. This announcement produced the desired effect, and the hospital was soon completed. The opening ceremony was performed by the emperor, and attended by a large number of the newly ennobled, who did not altogether relish the words Inscribed in letters of gold on the gable of the new building, "Human Vanity to Human Misery." Wealth In Peat. The promise held forth by a great installation in northwest Germany, for the utilization of the Immense peat hogs that exist there, leads to the suggestion in England that the huge Bog of Allen in Ireland may next be come a great center of Industry. The German undertaking contemplates the bringing of a large part of the bogs under cultivation, together with the conversion of the peat into fuel, to be employed in the development of elec trical energy for agricultural pur poses, as well as for supplying light and power to a number of towns sit uated within a radius of 50 miles. A network of canals Is to be formed, to drain the ground, and the peat dredged out is to be utilized in the way just described. It is estimated that the gas produced from the peat will furnish work to the amount of 600 horse-power hours for each ton, and a large quantity of ammonia will he re covered for use as manure. Pretty Slow. Horace L. Moore was lieutenant col onel of the noted Nineteenth Kansas cavalry. He could lead men for a longer period without rest, on a single ration of cheerful good humor, than any other officer. Though not given to jokes, he was tho reputed author of as many astonlshers as Lincoln. One time on the march, he sent an orderly with a message to an officer at some distance. Before the man was out of hearing Moore shouted: "Hey, orderly! Come back here?" He came galloping back, sitting limply in the saddle. Moore dropped his voice, and as suming a half-confidential manner in quired: "Orderly, in the course of your life have you ever seen a Bnall?" "Yes, sir," was the astonished re ply. "You met him, then," replied Moore, "for you'd never overtake one!" Kan sas City Journal. High Prices of Horseshoes. General St. Clair Mulholland, vet eran and historian of the civil war, tells an Incident showing the utter worthlessness of Confederate paper money at the close of the war. "Shortly after Lee's surrender," says the General, "I was a short dis tance from Richmond. The Confeder ate soldiers were going home to be come men of peace again, and were thinking about their farms. "One had a lame, broken-down horse which he viewed with pride. 'Wish I had him, Jim.' said the other. 'What'll you take for him? I'll give you $20,000 for him.' " 'No,' said Jim. " 'Give you $50,000.' "'No,' said Jim. " 'Give you $100,000,' his friend said. '"Not much,' replied Jim. 'I Just gave $120,000 to have him shod.'" Dock for Brazilian Dreadnoughts. The Government of Brazil has called for bids for the construction of a great floating dry dock to accom modate war and merchant vessels, and especially the new battleships of the Dreadnough type now being construct ed in England for the Brazilian navy. The dock, which ia to be built at Rio de Janeiro, Is to have a length of 643 feet and a width of 83 feet Knew His Business.

Chicago Jewj. CHILD'S BODYJNCOTTOii BALE Baby Disappeared In Texas and Its Corpse Was Strsngely Dis covered In Liverpool. Galveston, Tex. The disappearance of Alfred Hartmon, the two-year-old son of George nnd Angelina Hartinan of Gillespie county, five months ago, has been solved by the finding of the dead body of the Infant in a bale of cotton opened at a gin In Liverpool, England. It was early in December that Hart man, who Is a prosperous farmer, took a load of cotton to a gin a few miles from his home and had It ginned, His little son, who was the youngest of several children, accompanied him on the trip to Fredericksburg and In some manner became separated from his father. Senrch for the missing boy proved unsuccessful, and It was finally believed that the baby had fallen Into a creek nnd his body had been washed away In the current The finding of a body answering the description indicates that the child crept Into the press while it was open and, falling asleep, was baled up in the cotton. The cotton was sold to a Texas concern, placed In a warehouse for several weeks nnd finally export ed to Liverpool. The bale was open ed a few days ago and the flattened body of tho child discovered.

London, England. Dr. Angus Bew ley Wilson, aged 32, a house surgeon at the London Hospital, is another of the many martyrs of science. Dr. Wilson was performing an operation on a woman suffering from laudanum poison, the result of an at tempt to commit suicide, and in her struggles she bit one of his thumbs. The operation was entirely success ful in the case of the woman, whose life was saved, but in the case of the doctor blood poisoning set in from the bitten thumb, and Dr. Wilson died. At the Inquest concerning Dr. Wil son's death another surgeon said that it was necessary to gag the woman while the operation was in progress. She struggled all the time, and, seiz ing Dr. Wilson's thumb between her teeth, bit It The Coroner said that Dr. Wilson lost his life owing to a woman whose existence was certainly not worth it, from the public point of view, she hav ing attempted suicide on several oc casions. "A great deal is heard," added the Coroner, "of doctors' fees, but little is heard of their generous sacrifices." The jury returned a verdict of death from misadventure. WILL WHIP MAN WHO KILLS HIM Pittsburger Objects to Continued Pub lication of Obituaries. McKeesport, Pa, William A. Long, of McKeesport, read in the Pittsburg newspapers a neat obituary notice of himself. A relative of Long's had died in a Pittsburg hospital, and In some way Information got to the news papers that it was the McKeesport man. As this was the sixth "mis take" of the kind in five years, Long became angry and communicated with some of the papers as follows: "Once again I must prove an alibi. I am neither dead nor near It. It be comes monotonous, however, to be kept busy asserting that one is alive when the newspapers have you dead. The man who wanted a glass coffin so he could see what was going on had nothing on me. I am fairly well equipped now to write a book on 'funerals I have missed.' I will whip the next man who 'kills' me."

Helpful Beauty Hints Here is a Column of Goo?!, Frncti. cal Suggestion (Ul Will Ee Found Entirely Relinllo Muli'l is Bflnwiy Spots -Trick of 1h.ac.iu; Rcclpo for Saa Ktiir Ko-lurtr. It Is hard to bi'iug women to tho bolief that many moles are spots of beauty rather tlnui the blots their owners think them. While there i.re moles that are blemishes, there nro others that are fascinating, and which bring out the clear-coloring in com plexion or eyes. Our ancestresses with their beauty patches realized what the dots of black did for a dazzling skin and bits of courtplaster were part of the dally toilet Have you a tiny mole up cr.ar the eye or at tho corner of the cyn? Instead of bemoaning and resortlnj? to dangerous cures consider your loveli ness is heightened. If nothing will convince you of tM clone relation of cortuln tiioks to beauty at least do not try dangTom means to rid yourself of your defect There Is but ono safo cure l'io electric neodle. Evon this should only be used by a Bklllnd specialist Nt only Is there danger of bungling, but serious skin or cancerous trouble often follow. Tho use of acids to burn out a mo'o, which some women claim finy fcan npply with a camel's huir brush with perfectly safety, cannot be ton stronsly condemned. Often In burn ing off the nolo a scr.r la lift thr.t Is more unsightly than tho original of fender. A fuzzy mole Is sometimes helped by rubbing with a moistened ruimlc stone. Several long hairs can be pulled with tweezers. They will return !:s a few weeks, but the process can b't repeated. Straining the Hair, Not for appearance alone In tli fashion of loose hair a good onp; t!i Injurious effects of the old-fashioned mothod of straining the hair bade from the temples or up from the nape of tho neck led to premature baldness. The mother who draws her child':) hair back tight from the forehead with a false Idea of neatness should consider that she Is laying up for that child a store of thin locks and for her self bitter reproaches. While the bang was ugly, It was u sensible fashion for children, as it tended to lower the forehead and made the hair grow more gracefully about the brow in later years. Another bad effect of straining Is that one looks much older with tight hair even before the inevitable thin ness sets in. The hair line back of the ears la delicate and for that reason the hair should not be pulled tightly up from them. Some women have been so careless about hair straining that they have ugly bald spots in consequence. If the hair appears to be thinning from over-straining, a small jar of a good hair tonic should be kept on the dressing table, the fingers dipped Into it and the threatened bald spots mas saged daily. A little vaseline or crud3 petroleum is also excellent. Trick of Thinning. A locket down the center of tha back when wearing a low-cut frock will make the neck look tninner. This is good news for the girl with a fat back. If she thinks a locket too exaggerat ed she can wear a chain with a pend ant fastener, whose ends hang down over the nape of the nock. Another way to improve the appear ance of a fat back is to wear the hair in a low knot on the nape of the neck. The shape of the neck of the dress should be a V rather than round or square if the shoulders are full and fleshly. The tulle ruches that have tho choux directly in the center of the back with several ends falling down from it also have a knack of making the baok look slimmer though they are fatal to the appearance of a short neck. 8ag Hair Restorer. Place one quart of boiling water and two ounces of sage in an Iron pot; allow to stand for twenty-four hours and then filter through filtering paper. Digest one ounce of pine tar in one quart of water for forty-elgut hours stirring occasionally and then filter; mix the two together, and add: Bay rum, 1 quart; cologne, 2 ounces; glycerine, 4 ounces; dlstlllei water, 20 ounces. Apply to the scalp once daily with a tonic brush, and massage for ten minutes after applying the tonic. This will gradually restore gray hair to Its original color, and Is also a good tonic. .

Bathe the bust with warm water, dry and mas sage gently, with the cream. Every morning bathe the bust with very cold water. Deep breathing before an open window, clad in a loose gown, Is also helpful. I Slap the Hollow Back. A gulley between) the shoulder blsdes is fatal to beauty.
