OVER NIAGARA FALLS
Fate of a Schooner That Was
Used as an Experiment.
?:
SHE WAS DASHED TO PIECES.
A Thrilling Sight From tho Time She
Struck the Seething Rapids Until
the Mighty Falls Tore Her Into
Splinters?A Pair of.Tough Geese.
The following story of the first pulv
lie excursion to Niagara Falls wa>
written at the time by an eyewitness"The
schooner Michigan was tin?
largest vessel ou l^nke Erie at that
time She was too large, in fact, to
enter the various harbors on the lake
and. being somewhat decayed lu hot
uppers, the owner. Major Fnuser. got
the Idea that she would answer the
purpose of testing the fate of a vessel
that by accident might approach tooi
near the cataract and also the fate of|
livlug things that might be caught ln|
the rapids. The proprietors of the)
large public houses at the falls on both I
skies of the river and of stages and
steamboats made up a purse to purchase
the schooner, aware that they
would be amply repaid by the spectn
tors that the exhibition would attract
"For several days previous to Sept.
6. 1S28, the day for which the affair
was tixed. which was Saturday, the
stages and canal boats came to Buffalo
crowded with people. On the night
of Sept. 5 wagons filled with country
people rattled through the village Id
unbroken procession all night long, and
ou the moruing of Sept. C Buffalo itself
seemed to lie moving In one mass
toward the point of attraction. Five
steamboats had been advertised to
leave Buffalo Saturday morning. They
were the Henry Clay, William Penn.
Plnnppr Vlnwp* nnil PMnn??-n Th.>
Chippewa was appointed to tow the
schooner Michigan to the Niagara river.
1 was a passenger on her.
"As soon as we got well under way
the scene lecame interesting. The other
four steamers came plowing along
In our wake, crowded to the guards
with passengers and bands of music
playing. 1*he Chippewa towed the big
schooner to Yale's landing, on the Canada
side of the Niagara river, where
our passengers went ashore, as did
thbse of the William Penn. The passengers
of the Flenry Clay and""Pioneer
landed on the American side.
1 Yaile's landing was three miles above
1 the falls, and the crowds of people
were taken from there on down the
rfcer in wagons of nil kinds. The hour
j fixed for towing the Michigan from
Yale's Landing to the rapids was 3
In the afternoon.
"Till* task, aif extremely hazardous
one^was intrusted to the oldest sailor
on The !: ' p. Captain Rough. With 5
j yawl i.ont and five sturdy oarsmen the
| old captain got\tbe schooner under
way. They towed her to within a quar;
ter of a mile of the first rapids and
within half a mlUj of the tremeudous
j precipice' Itself?as near ns they dared
approach. They cut the big vessel I
' adrift, and she passed majestically on. I
' while the oarsmen of the yawl-had to I
hen ! their every nerve and muscle to
jvtuo.e themselves from the peril of
| being drawtv-down by the rushing wn-l
r-?rs Indeed. sT'fh had lx?en the fear
arcl apprehension of the men that they
) mutinied against Captain Rough and
| cut the towllne l>efore the time he
i had set If they had obeyed the reck
| less old capt-nin. he. the yawl and its
crew would have preceded the Micbi
! gan over the falls.
I "The high grounds on both shores of
I the river were lined with people as the
Michigan, ungulded by human agency,
approached, head on. the first rapid of
the seething descent, apparently keeping
the very course that a skillful navigator
wonld have guided her In. The
j American ensign streamed from her
bowsprit and the British Jack floated
at her stem. The vessel shot the first
rapid nnhurt, still head on, making a
plunge, shipping a sea and rising from
It In beautiful style. In her descent of
ine secouu rapiu. xae water momentarily
increasing in velocity and tumult
j her towering masts went by the board,
giving the spectators a startling representation
of the crashing of a vessel's
spars in a shipwreck at sea. She
swung around and presented her
broadside to the dashing and foaming
water, and. after remaining, as it seemed.
stationary for a moment, swung
aruuiid until sbuwas headed upslteam.
"Passing the third rapid she bilged,
bnt carried her hull to all appearances
whole as she tossed and groaned between
Grass Island and the British
shore to the I^orseshoe fall, over which
she was drawn sternforemost and
hurled into the thundering abyss. She
was dashed to fragments before she
strnck in the seething waters .below.
Immediately after she went over bun
dreds of people hurried below the fails.
The river was covered with fragments
of the vessel. Nowhere could be fonnd
1 as mu?b as two boards nailed together,
and her great thulters were broken Into
| bits like firewood.
"There were aboard the Michigan
when she started on bef trip toward
the falls a wild buH buffalo Srmu e
western pralrtb. two bears from tb<
Lake Superior regions, two foxes, i
raccoon, n dog. n cat and fouy geese
When the vessel left-Yale's lending li

HIT HIM IN TWO PLACES.
Th? Way Cicero Traotad His Davotei
Admirar Petrarch.
In the early autumn of 1".5S Petrarcl
suffered an accident which cuay I*
narrated In his own words. "You shal
hear." he writes to a friend, "what i
trick Cicero, the soun whom 1 havi
loved and worshiped from uiy boyhood
has just playej^ me. possess g hug<
volume of his letters, which 1 wroti
put some time ago with my own bam
because there was do original manu
script accessible to the copyist* U
health hludered me. but my great lov<
of Cicero and delight In the letters dim
eagerness to possess them prevail#*
against my bodily weakness and tb<
laborlousuess of the work. This Is tb<
book which you have seen leaulnj
i against the doorpost at the entry t<
; my library. Opeday while going lnt<
j the room thlnrrcfrhy>out something
else, as I often doTrTjfeppeiied Inad
vertently to catch the book in th<
fringe of my gown. In Its fall It strucl
me lightly on the left leg a little abov<
the heel. 'What! My Cicero.' quott
I, bantering him. 'pray what are yoi
hitting me for? He said nothing, but
next_day as I came again the same
way he hit _me again, and again' 1
laughed at him and set him ud in hk
place. Why make a long story? Ovei
and over again I went on suffering th<
same hurt, and, thinking he might lx
cross at having to stand on the ground
I pat him up a shelf higher, hut not
till after the repented blows on the
same spot had broken the skin and ?
far from, despicable sore had resulted
I despised it. though, reckoning thi
cause of my accident 6f much raort
weight than the accident itself. At
last, when the pain was too much nq
only for my wit, but for sleep anj!
rest, so*that to neglect the thing anj
longer seeiued not courage, but mad
ness, I was forced to call in the doc
tors, who have now for some days
been fussing over this really ridicu
Ions wound, not without great pair
and some danger to the wouuded limb
as they Insist, though I think you kno^
Just what reliance I place on theii
prognostications either of good or evil
So this is how my beloved Cicero has
treated me. He long ago struck mj
heart, and now he has struck my leg.'
?From n. C. Hollway-Calthorp's "Fe

GUIDEPOSTS IN FRANCE.
A Striking Feature of the Road

In addition to these guideposts th
Touring Club o'f France fias put o

symbols to indicate to motorists an
bicyclists what sort of a road they ar
approaching. The sign "ralentir," whic
translated Into good United State
means to "let up," has caused many
motorist who Is unfamiliar with th
road he Is traveling to slow down an
to find shortly after the sign had bee
