Us feature was the direct charge that the Republic 'was running fit a high rate o;iced through the fog. It also refined reports that the quar termaster of t ie Florida was to blame arid timt the captain struck the man. l"ho f tatemcnt ays: Running at Moderate Speed. "Tin; Florida had experienced fog at Intervals for soma hours before the collision and a dense fog existed at the time of the collision. The Florida had J oen proceeding at moderate speed, Idowlng- her fug whistle frequently. Lookout Was Doubled. "The captain and chief officers In charge of her navigation were on the fcridge and the quartermaster was at the wheel, and the 'lookout' was doubled on account of the fog. I he t londa was pr proceedlngly slow ly when the fog whistles of another f teamer, which afterwards proved tc1 re the Republic, were hoard by the of ficers and "lookouts' off the siarboard bow of tiie Italian steamer. Engines of Florida Reversed. "The engines of (he Florida were re versed and two signals of three whis tles were blown. Indicating that the engines were going astern. The col lision nevertheless took place, the bow of the Florida striking the port side of tne Republic somewhat aft of amid fihips, causing seriojs damage to both Steamers. Helm Jammed to Starboard. "When the Republic became visible through tiie fog she was crossing the fcow of the Florida from starboard to port and running at a. high rate of peed. The helm of the Florida was promptly put to starboard, hoping to awing the bow of the Italian steamer to starboard and to assist in avoiding the dajiger of collision. The other teamer was, however, running so fast that the vessels collided. "It was afterwards ascertained that the steamer which collided with the Florida was the Republic of the White Star line. "The collision occurred Heme dis tance southo&at of Nantucket tllght hip about 5.45 a. m., Saturday, the 23d ot January, 19. No Misunderstanding of Orders.

HOW TWO MEN "SPRINTED" AS WRECK WENT DOWN. Captain 8alby's Own Story of the Last Moments of His Doomed Ship Last Shot Fired from Aloft. New York, Jan. 26. Capt. Inman tValhy of the wrecked steamship Re public and his second officer, R. Wil liams, told their own story the most thrilling narrative that had yet come from the scene of Saturday's disaster off Nantucket when they were brought to the AVhita Star pier today by a revenue cutter. The last few minutes of the Re public, the tight of Sealby and Wil liams, who stayed by her to the last; their parting at the sinking ship's rail, their swim in tumbling, icy water, their dramatic meeting in the boat of the cutter Gresham, and the sentiment that passed between the two: '"Came to the last" this was the tale told in simple language by the captain and his mate. Talked It Over on the Bridge. The captain said: "When it was close to the time for us to leave the Republic the vessel began to rumble and crack aft, and the stern began to go down rapidly.N Wil liams and I were on the bridge. "'Well, what do you think about it?' I said to Williams. 'I don't think it will be a long race; let's make a sprint of it,' he said. When you are ready, let her go.' ""Burn the blue lights, I said, and then I fired five shots from my revol ver. That was the signal to, the Gres ham to cut away the hawser. "Let's make for the highest point; take to the fore rigging,' I shouted. "We ran from the bridge to the sa loon deck, burning blue lights as we went, and carrying lanterns. When we got to the deck the water was coming over the after end of it. As we ran forwnrd the stern of the ship was sink ing rapidiy and tho incline of the deck was so steep that we began slipping Last Shot, from Aloft. "The last I saw of Williams was when he had caught the port rail and was hanging on. I took to the fore rigging and went up as far as the maethead light about 300 feet and rested there while I took out a blue light from my pocket. It was wet and would not go off. Then I fired the last shot from my revolver. "Then the water caught me and l floated. It pot under my great co.it. The air Inside supported me. wrSlo the weight of my revolver binoculars and cartridges acted as ballast and made a sort of life preserver. "By this time there was a roaring, seething mass of water around me. I was churned down into it, but came to the surface and tried to pull off my coat. I did not succeed. There was considerable debris around and finally I succeeded in reaching a hatch. On this I lay, pread-eagle fashion. "The searchlljrhts of the revenue cut ters Gresham and Seneca had played on the Republic as she sank, and after a considerable time these lights and the lights of the tug Scully were con centrated on the epot where the ship had gone down. Lay Flat on Hatch and Saved His Strength. "It s?emed an interminable time and they did not see me. but I managed to load my revolver again and fired to nt- tract 'their attention. The cartridges fortunately had been greased and did not get wet. It was very rough and cold and I was getting benumbed; so I Just lay on the hatch and saved my strength, shouting at interval. Picked Up Nearly Finished. "When the lights were playing up on me, I waved a towel that I had found floating near by, and shortly afterward I saw a boat which picked me up and took me aboard the Gresh am. I was nearly finished then. The boat was in charge of Gunner John son, and he handled her in an able and seamanlike manner. Four of the eight men in the boat were members of the Republic's crew." Experience of Williams. Lieutenant Williams, a boyish-look-ing sailor, who saved his pipe, but not his overcoat, described the parting with his skipper and their reunion. "'When I lost the captain," he said, "I was hanging to the rail by my el bows. The ship was going down and I felt her strike bottom. I could tell she was resting on bottom by her sol idity, tone stayed there about ten seconds, and then I felt her part, break in two. I let go, and fell into the water about forty feet. "Then I threw off my .overcoat and started to swim backwtftw. I cannot describe the roar of the water as it rose above the ship. It was like Ni agara, like thunder, like anything in fernal. Above me was the keel of the ship, standing high in the air. I think I must have been about twenty feet from it. There seemed to be very lit tle back-wash, and when she went down with all flags flying, there was -not much suction, else I wouldn't be here. "While I was swimming," continued Williams, "a hatch struck me, and I tried several times to get on it, but It was jumping about In the heavv sea, and I didn't succeed. A few minutes later another hatch came along and I got that on the other side of tine and floated between the "two, with my el bows outstretched. "Game to the Last!" "I could see the three vessels, but they seemed a great way off, and I heard Captain Sealby fire three shots. I had been in the water about twenty minutes. I judged, when the Gresh am's boat picked me up. I was pretty cold, but I think I could have lasted an hour. "Having heard the shots, I was able to help the boat's crew in their search for the captain. At last they found him, and he was shivering when pulled aboard. He didn't know I was there, and I reached over and touched his elbow. He knew who it was, and he threw his arms around my neck. 'Williams,' he said, 'game to the last!'" The second officer said that he and the captain spent a "pleasant evening" on the deck of the Republic, from six to eight. "We had dinner," he added, "but we did not dress for It. I went down and rummaged In the pantry for grub, getting some biscuits, marmalade and plum cake. I also got some blankets. for we intended to make ourselves comfortable if we were fortunate enough to stay aboard all night." Captain Sealby naturally refused to discuss the collision with the Florida, saying his first duty was to his own ers, but he had many words of praise for the revenue cutters, his own crew, and the Republic's passengers. Skipper's Praise for Binns. "Curing ail our operations, the wire- Cabled Paragraph Berlin, Jan. 26. The Prussian diet today voted down various motions fa voring electoral reform. Marseilles, Jan. J6.

THE TRICKS OF TRADE. It la a surprise to the country that the tricks of trade condemned by Dr. "Wiley, the agricultural department ex pert, should have won out through the decision o an expert commission which did not sustain the findings of Dr. Wiley. After a Teat tattle of over twenty years and a seeming trumph. It Is dis couraging to see the use of benzoate cf soda endorsed, formaldehyde and other digestive-checking and health Impairing ingredients O. K.-ed. The battle la on again and the makers of pure foods are out for the pure food law In sup-port of Dr. Wi ley. This la what a leader says: "It la because of this drug (benroate of soda) the unscrupulous manufac turer la enabled to realize large prof Its by employing In his product raw materials that are unfit and unwhole some to the point of exciting extreme disgust at their mere mention. "Wherever I have found a man who wa an adulterer of foods, a awtndler of the public, a seller of foods that lvere Injurious to the health of the consumer, I Invariably found that man to he an enemy of Dr. Wiley." That fits the situation. With a taiowledge of these things the people should support all the pure-food ad vocates and give Individual attention to the purity cf the food they pur chase. The people must protect themselves since congress cannot be depended upon to do It. UP TO THE GOVERNMENT. The Indications now are that the American congress will make a move to clear the wreckage of the battle ehlp Maine from Havana harbor. Hith erto the constant appeals of patriotic Americans have had no efTect, because It Is necessary to secure, by a treaty or otherwise, the consent of the re public of Cuba to the authorities of the United States entering the har bor cf Havana and proceeding with the work of removal; but now Govern or Magoon declares that the sunken battleship la a serious menace to the shipping of the harbor as It occupies a portion of the best anchorage, The obstruction has Increased annually during the past ten years by causing a shoal. It will be necessary, In a short time, to begin dredging In order to provide proper anchorage for the large amount of shipping now entering the harbor unless the wreck Is removed. Even more Important than this ob struction to navigation Is the fact that this wreck, although It contains the bodies of sixty-three AmerifAn sea men, or what Is left of them, Is ap parently abandoned and forgotten by the government and people of the United States. It has become a na tional reproach and an International scandal, and that the necessary per mission from the Cuban povernment can he obtained and that the Cubans would gladly afford all the assistance In their power to accomplish the desired result, not only because of the injury to the harbor facilities, but also be cause of the prompting of patriotism and sentiment. There remains no excuse or defense for further negligence of such a patriotic duty. I WIRELESS SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY. The saving of the passengers of the Republic because of her ability to re part her plight by wireless and the prompt responses which doubtless saved over one thousand lives, has shown that it Is akin to criminal neg ligence for large passenger ships to be plying the ocean without this additional means of protection for their passen gers. Attention la being called to the fact that In these days of fast ships a flyer would require comparatively few hours to cover say two hundred miles In reaching the point where her serv ices were needed. The Mauretania is coming this way, for Instance, at the present moment, at a 26-knot gait, traveling thirty land miles an hour over wintry seas. Summoned by a distress signal caught by her wireless, half a day would be sufficient to put her alongside a vessel four hundred miles distant when the appeal was received. There would be a challenge! to break til records that no seaman could or should resist. The declaration is timely that "the adoption of the wireless should be no longer left to the chances of owner ship being progressive, but should be made compulsory, like ships' lights. In fog it Is the great. Indeed the great est, reliance of captains who cannot sea the stern from the bridge, much less another vessel close at hand. Whistles are not entirely trustwor thy, and Indeed under certain condi tions may confuse fluke as much as enlighten. Fog Is the one great ob stacle to safe and speedy navigation, against which science has made lit tle progress. Science cannot re-enforce eyes or glasses to the point that will penetrate the curtain of the fog, but Indirectly science by the wireless telegraphy can throw out warnings which If not complete are of mighty assistance to the puzzled man on the hrldge who is enabled to pick them tip." Tie Norwich Bulletin sighs for the god old days when men Bid not orry about what they ate and drank, which would naturally encourage the sup position that The Bulletin Is furtively slapping the temperance movement. Middletown Sun. Only yearning for the good old times of peace and plen ty. South Carolina has a bill before the legislature requiring all secret socie ties to take out a license. They might make that measure apply to the fam ily, too, for that is something of a se cret society. Senator Tillman, since that Oregon exposure, appears to be suffering from the rabies of suspicion to such an ex tent that ho snaps at any innocent Inquirer. If the members of the house would carefully study the rules for avoid ing sunsiroKe mey might be the bet- tor prepared to llrhten other strokes.

The great evangollcal campaign of a month's duration, with 60 evangel ists In acti?e employment, will inter est church people in all parts of the country. A Boston paper, announcing the concerted opening of the work, on Tuesday, said: "In the projected revival there is perhaps the largest concentration of religious organizations and forces that Boston has ever known. The move ment follows a different plan from most of the evangelizing enterprises of the past. It Is a simultaneous ef fort of a hundred and fifty churches of various.! denominations, with evening 'centers' for gathering in those who are still unchurched and unrespon sive to the ordinary religious appeals. Some preliminary work was done in various pulpits yesterday. From one of them It was stated that while the usual revival meetings convert the sinner for only a short time, after which he relapses Into his old life, the aim of the present movement is not only to win men but to hold them. "These meetings are planned to ap peal to the conscience as well as to the emotions. That is certainly essen tial to permanent results. Too often when emotions have been stirred they have been mistaken for the voice of conscience, and when they have sub sided this bulwark of conduct is too often found not to have been affected. "However opinions may differ as to method, the end in view must appeal to all good citizens who can certainly see nothing but good in whatever pro motes moral and spiritual uplift, be cause that InevitaHaV benefits the civic and social life as well as the life of the Individual. It is not a question now as to the expediency of the plan. That has been decided upon and Is at once to be put in operation and no ob stacles should be placed in the way of giving it the fullest and freest trial, with a hope that the results will be all that are anticipated." A RISING WAR CLOUD. The rising war cloud to which The Bulletin would call attention Is not hanging over Brazil or Japan, but over Long Island, and since it is not a war of conquest but simply an eco nomic strife, It promises to spread. Massachusetts and Connecticut are waging an economic war against the gypsy moth, New Jersey against the mosquito and San Francisco against the fleas, and now war has been com menced against the rats of Gowanus bay, with a view of their extermina tion. It has been estimated by the United States department of agriculture that the damage done annually to food products, grain, buildings, etc., by the gnawing of rats and their destruction of edible stores, aggregates at least $160,000.onn. It Is believed that $160,000,000 a year Is too much to sacrifice to rats, to say nothing of these rodents as mul tipliers of other "ermln and spread ers of disease. New Jersey thinks its $3,000,000 of loss is worth saving; San Francisco had to end Its rats to enl its fleas; and Connecticut will find It profitable to pet rid of her rodents. The anti-rat war, which has been commenced at the Erie basin under government supervision, Is carried on by means of a virus discovered by the director of the laboratory of agricul tural biology in the Pasteur Institute, Paris. It has been used successfully in France and England. It is not a poison. Is Innocuous to children, to cats, dogs, chickens and animals not rodents. It Inoculates the rats with a disease from which they die In a few days, and it is administered to them by being diluted and spread on bread or biscuits and then placing it where rats can get It. If this virus works well It will be eagerly sought for by the people. It would save millions to Xew England farmers alone. EDITORIAL NOTES. There Is one consolation for the fad dist faddist and fool have not yet become synonymous. A western paper asks, "If money really talks, why do business men use it In making signs?" Oklahoma's blind senator and Rhode Island's blind boss are open-eyed to their business, anyhow. The government Is so committed to irrigation that it still Issues wet li censes for dry territory. A January thunder storm can fur nish no special reason why It should seek to be the "ilaud" of the heav ens. The American haul of fame should be conhi.ed wholly to the secret serv ice. The other Hall of Fame Is no haul. The "fearsome foursome'' Is said to be a golf situation which is more in tensely exciting than anything in roque. Do not let love prompt you to en dorse a note, for if you do you may come up against a lawyer Instead of a lover. When the American Indians were discovered they smoked toinweo. This is our only strong resemblance to the aborigines. The governor of Kansas declares that every man ought to read his Bi ble and his ballot and his newspaper without assistance. Sunkissed Norwich must not get the impression that she is a special fa vorite of Old Sol's. He's osculating in all parts of the country. Signnr Ferraro has a mighty poor opinion of the writers of ancient his tory. It is apparent enough that they never stickled over the truth. Happy thought for today: Wh.n "dog eat dog" ceases to be a politi cal maxim the approach of the millen ium may be considered at hand. Eighty per cent, of Ireland's emi grants come to this country. They have always been famous for know ing a good thing when they saw it. Postmaster Allen of Middletown must feel that the person who cried, "Hard lee." simply assumed authority and should not have been noticed. At a High Tension. Every editor in Augusta, Ga., writes like a man addressing himself directly to a president of the United States. The high tension Is dangerous. Mem phis News Scimitar. Not for a Domestio Reading. "Why Clever Girls Don't Marry" is the title of an article published in a London paper. But don't read It to your wife, young man; it won't enter tain her. Toledo Blade. THE EULETIN'S r L AT THE COUNTRY STORE. How Sim Found a Cura for Indecision There had been an undecided cus tomer in the store who had wavered for ten minutes between two grades of draw shaves and had ended by say ing that he would loOk around a while and see if there wasn't something over at the hardware store, which would suit him better. The storekeeper ap pealed to the lounging group about the stove. ".'Now, what do you s'pose he'll find that'll suit him any better?" he asked in an exasperated tone. "A can opener, mebbe," ventured Newt Foster, jocosely. "After he stud ies on It a spell longer he'll prob'ly conclude it's a long-handled shovel he needs." "If Rufe had Jest handed him out the one kind he'd have took it with out any trouble," said Sol Baker. "When yoli give Ike Spooner his ch'ice it kinder mixes him up. He don't know right well what to do." "He's litie Sim Hoislngton," remark ed Washington Hancock. "Sim was that kind of a feller. He'd start to build a fence around a hawg lot an' use up the best part of a week fig Berin1 whether to go to the sawmill an' get him a load o' eight-inch stuff or to split rails. He'd starf in with the rail idee an' then a neighbor 'ud rome along an' allow that by the time he'd got all the rails split he'd wish he'd jest hitched up his team and got boards. You get a board fence an' you've got suthin' that's hawg-tight,' the reighbor'd say. 'Put up a rail fence an' mebbe you'll keep your hawgs in side of it an' mebbe you won't, an' you'll waste more time chasin' them than the lumber'II cost you.' 'Then Sim'd scratch his haid an' he'd say. 'Hy jucks! I reckon you're right. I'll hitch up the team this aft ernoon. I've be'n needin' a bunch o' shingles, anyway. "Erlong about noon, Sim's hired man 'ud come along from the field an' Sim 'ud tell him he'd changed his mind about them rails an' he'd fence with hoards. 'It don't make no differunce to me," the hired man 'ud say, 'but I hearn tell they're askin' $10 a thousand for rough boards now an' you'll need a couple o" thousand foot. The rails ain't go In' to cost you nothin' but the work o' gettin' em an' the roads is bad betwixt this an' the mill.' "Sim 'ud scratch his haid again an' study. Then he'd say, 'I dunno but you're right. Bill. If I don't use up that there white oak for rails there ain't nothin' I can use it for, 'less it's lirewood. I'd hafter buy nails, too. I m-ver thought o' that. We'll grind them axes an' put a new handle in the maul iirst tiling aftes dinner.' "Then while they was grlndln the ares the schoolmaster 'd stop to gas as he went by an' he'd nachally ast 'em where they was goin' to chop an' what they wanted the rails for. "'Wei!.' he'd say, "course I ain't no farmer, but seems like to me that a rail fence is the waste-fullest kind of a fence.

It Is an interesting statement that was made from Wethersfield this week that out of 563 convicts but seven were females. It is not uncommon for those who are disposed to scoff at religion to say that no one goes to church but women and children, but if the re ligious tendency of the women is re spon.!b!e for keeping them from spending time in state prison the crit icism becopies a compliment. When It Is taken into consideration that sixty three years ago there were twenty womer. at Wethersfield, at a time when the. population of the state was so much smaller than it is now. the pres ent record i3 very complimentary to the se. Xew London Day. A Ray of Hope. The fight on Elmer J. Rathbun for the place of associate justice of the superior court of Rhode Island, the candidate of Blind Boss Brayton, who was condemned as unfit by the bar as sociation, was led by the Providence Journal. Its comments on the result are interesting for what is said and for the rhetoric used in saying it: It is once again the general's ass -m-bly. Fifty-six republicans stood by the boss yesterday and 42 stood by the state. The election of Rathbun is the flower of a plant nourished in a rot ten constitution, fed by the contribu tions of manufacturers and picked by the old hoc?!. Such a victory is made T.ossible only because so many of his henchmen come from towns where public, spirit is dead. The encouraging features of the contest are the fact that 42 republi cans refused to follow the lead of Brayton and that the bar association endeavored to save the good name of the judiciary. The Journal goes onto say that so aroused is public indignation over this invasion of the judiciary by the politi cal boss that General Brayton will re quire more than his usual amount of filthy lucre to carry next fall's election for his ticket. "The da of reckoning cannot long be postponed," concludes the Journal. So there Is a ray of hope even for darkest Rhode Island. Wa terbury American. BRIEF YARNS. This was overheard in the lobby of a big hotel in Cincinnati when a 'bus load of traveling salesmen came from th" station. Every man of them, as he signed the register, paused to shake hands with the hotel clerk fatherly old fellow who had been there many years. "Ah," said one of them to the rlerk, "it's a good thing you're still on deck. Uncle Dave; I don't think the house could run without you." "Couldn't it. though!" said Uncle Dave. "You fellows wouldfome in here, and If there v:n o, Strang clerk you'd say. 'Where's Uncle Dave?' And the clerk would 'say, 'Why, didn't you hear? He died a month ago.' And then you'd say, 'Well, I'll be darned! That's too bad. Say. when'U dinner be ready?'" Wh. n '.ieneral Schenek, whose great est fame rests upon his having intro duced the game of poker into England, first arrived in London as American minister to the court of St. James he took a little of his spare time to v.". the sights of the British capital. Among ither places he visited Mme Tussaud's wax works. "And what do you think of our great wax work ex hibition?" asked a friend. "Well," re plied the general, "it struck me as be ing very like the ordinary English evening party." Rather doubtfully the village post master eyed the nondescript canine of fered for sale as "a valuable watch dog." 'Deed he am, boss," assever ated Rastus. "But if he was as good a watch dog as you make out, how is it you want to sell him at all?" "Yo" see boss, it am dis way: In dese hard times I ain't done got nuthin' to watch." Zelaya's Soaring Ambition. Gen. John Drummond, who has re sided for twenty years in various parts of Central America, says in an inter view here that Central America will never be quiet- until President Zelaya of Nicaragua has been removed from power. Ho declares that Zelaya' s pur pose is to overthrow all governments DAILY STCRY J "'I cerfnly do,' Sim ud say. 'Then you've got the Jog on each side o the fence to Agger in.

I'd Ag ger it for you, on'y it won't do for me to let them young-uns get to the school house afore I do.' "Sim "ud stop right there an' send Bill off to harrer or suthin' while he'd go into the house an' put In the rest o' the day figgerin.' Fin'ly he'd con clude to use barb wire, an' if nobody didn't happen along afore he got it up, wire it 'ud be an" if somebuddy said a stone wall 'ud be the right thing he'd switch off to that. "That's how Sim was about every thin' politics, religion, temp'runce, horse tradin', food for his stock an' food for himself, an gals an' curin' hams an' hail insurance an' the race problum an' bone fertilizer. Some times he thought one way about 'em an' then somebuddy 'ud come erlong an' take the op'sit views. Finerly he got married." "How did he make out to settle on the woman, that he wanted?" asked Hank Tulliver. "Well, that's suthin' a feller don't alius settle on himself," replied Han cock. "Seems like Sim's woman did the settlin". She was kind o' soshu ble an' one night he was callin' on her an' he allowed that he wasn't right sure whether a feller wasn't bet ter off single than he was married. 'Well, you take my word for it this time,' she says. 'There's some that's belter married an' you're one o' that kind.' 'Mebbe you're right,' says Sim. 'But who'd I marry? I've thought of it, but I dunno as there's any wo man around here that 'ud suit me.' 'You don't need to go no further than this place,' she says. Td suit you first rate, and I'm willin', too. so as your buggy's outside an' the preacher is over to his house, wel'll just hop right in an' drive over there.' "Weill she put on her bonnet while he was studyin' on it. an' the next thing he knowed he was in the buggy with her. After a while he says to her, "How do you know I'd suit you?'

"Zelaya is trying to force himself upon the people of Central America through a pliant tool," says General Drummond. "This tool is Luis Ander son, at oie time minister of foreign affairs of Costa Rica, who is the ap parent candidate of Zelaya and Presi dent Diaz of Mexico for the presidency of the United Central American re public. "In reality Zelaya Intends that he shall be the dictator himself ,the abso lute and complete master of all those countries. His purpose is to settle old scores with President Cabera of Guatemala, his Inveterate enemy, and to destroy what is the only sane and established gjvernment of Central America, that of Gautemala." Mobile Despatch to New York World. Real Raven Came Tapping. At the Poe memorial meeting last evening. William Fearing Gill of Paris, the friendly biographer of Poe, deep ly interested his audience by relating a strange incident which he said had never been published or told, and which he had determined to reserve for this anniversary. I was living in Xew York at the time, and in my room I had in a box the bones of Mrs. Edgar Allan Poe, which I had rescued when the grave yard in which she was interred was leveled. It was a bleak morning in December. I was awakened by a rap, rap, rap. I went to the door. No one was there. Again came the rap, rap, rap. I went to the window and opened it. All was darkness, but I could distinguish some sort of small animal on the sill. "Come in,' I said, and in walked a raven. "On my mantel I had an album of autograph letters of Poe. together with a poem called The Demon of the Fire,' which doubtless inspired his 'Raven.' This bird went to the book, perched on top of it, and .fastening his talons in it, turned and looked at me. I said, in the words of the poem, 'Tell me what they lordly name is.' The raven flapped his wings and cried, 'Whoo-oo,' probably as near 'Never more,' as Poe's Raven ever got. The apparition of the raven I ac cepted as Hamlet accepted the appa rition of the ghoEt as a rebuke be cause I had delayed so long in in terring the remains of Mrs. Poe. While the bird sat there I wrote to Nelson Poe, asking him to take the bones. He did so. and we Interred them in Baltimore. Boston Despatch. Prefers to Be Absent.

Two days later he made an assignment and neglected to rut Solomon in the list of preferred creditors. This angered Sol omon and he upbraided Einstein for it. "Well," said Einstein, "that doesn't prove anything. I put those fellows in that preferred list and left you out be cause you are my friend.

While walking in South Audley street, one afternoon, Robert Louts Stevenson and Edmund Gosse met a stalwart beggar, whom Gosse refused to aid. Stevenson, however, wavered, and finally handed him a sixpence. The man pocketed the coin, forbore to thank his benefactor, but, fixing his eyes on Gosse, said in a loud voice: "And what is the other little gentle man going to give me?" "In future," said Stevenson, as they strode coldly on, "I saall be the other little gentleman.' Northern Mexico Is well adapted for the cultivation of the p:can tree.

After the doctor called, May had told her that she was all right. Wearing pink stockings, she claimed May called at the Burns house in June and asked about being taken back, but she told ner Aadie would not do It. On cross-examination she testified to being at the Burns house three years, after which there followed a breezy talkfest 'between the lawyers, in which the state's attorney remark ed that he was trying to stop Attor ney Goodhart from talking, but the latter informed him that he would not succeed, and it required the court to restore order. The witness told of being examined by Dr. Ganey about the time the Burns girl was. She had been to Cen terdale and had received postals from Addie while the latter was In the south, but she could not tell how long Derore feoruary la Addie had left. She didn't knew that the southern trip was because i the trouble over May. Blanche Staples Recalled.

Addie telerrapncd her to send S20 to the Grand Central station, the tele gram being dated Feb. 22. Gooree Washington's birthday, stated Vinej. This reference to George Washinrton ttracted more than passing notice from Judge Wheeler and he ordered mat trie answer stop at Feb. 22, as George Washington's name should not be used in connection' with such a case. She told of Dr. Ganey's call to f'V May, but did not know that the rirl received a letter from home or that she was there acaln In Jure. Fho said Tr.

She recalled the coming of May Burns In January. 1807, about 4 o'clock in the morning.

She did not tell tha girl she would get her a dainty little wrapper, and did not name her. She gave the name of Florence Harris. At breakfast time she simply said "Good morning," and went to Providence that day. She was not allowed to tell what her Intentions were about going for a trip, as the state's attorney claimed her intentions could be coined, but he did not object to any preparations. She left for Providence Monday about 1 o'clock; from there she went to Centerdale. She bought tlress goods In preparation for a trip south for her health. She stay ed in Centerdale between eight and nine days. She was not In the house to Intro duce May Burns to any man, and did not do it.

George Tomlinson, charged in super ior court with assault on Miss Smith of Norwich, who was at the time a resident in a Groton family, has re turned and surrendered himself in an swer to the charga. When the superior court came In here, the case was called in due course and Tomlinson was on hand. On Wednesday, January 6, however, he left while the court was In rece- and until Monday night had not been seen in the state. It was supposed that Tomlinson had taken fright at hear ing the trials and sentences imposed upon several offenders In cases some what similar to that with which he was charged and had bolted. It was known that Tomlinson had in his pos session a fairly large sum of money which he had earned since the time of the assault b- work In a bleachery, somewhere In Rhode Island, and it was supposed that he had taken ad vantage of the lull In the court pro ceedings to get away from Norwich. The mother and her frlend3 were not less active than Attorney Denison and put in motion every means of as certaining where Tomlinson had gone to as the $2,000 bond iriven by his mother represented her all. A day or two ago Mr. Denison received intelli gence which he thought was reliable, and at once proceeded to Boston, where he found the young man in a small place on the outskirts of the city, ready to come back home and face the music. Tomlinson reached Groton Monday night, but scarcely any Inhabitant of the borough was aware of his return until Tuesday afternoon, when he an. peared in his usual places of call, looking as well as ever, and not a whit perturbed over the possible out come of. his case. Tomlinson says he Is not guilty of the charge and that, if the accusa tions of the girl have any foundation at all he is not the one to blame. The case will probablv not be reached for several days, but Tomlinson will be on hand when It Is called. Ridisz Brought to Norwich. Michael Ridisz. who Is charged with the murder of a Polish woman In North Lyme, was brought from the New London jail on Tuesday to the Norwich Jail.
