Drowning of Seventy Six Men The first detailed story of the loss of the ship Oneida and the drowning of seventy six Chinese in Cooks's In let, Alaska, are given by John Erics son, one of the crew of tbe wrecked vessel, who has just arrived in San Francisco on the schooner Campier "We sailed from here," said he. March 28. On April 26 a fog came down, and about nine o'clock at night, whn we thought we were well out from land, the shock came. "The water was flowing into the ship at a furious rate and tha order was given to get out the boats. The scene that followed that order was simply terrible. Two hundred Chi nese fishermen, who were in the hold came swarming up on deck, and it was as if the imps of hell were let loose. They cursed and swore and cried and kicked and charged on the ( boats, and had to be driven off the deck by the crew. Some ran up into the rigging, then down to the deck again. They attempted to take pos- session of the boats, which by this time were manne 1. I "It was necessary to pesh out from the side of the ship. To attempt to . hold them in check was impossible. They were like demons. Many of them leaped into the water and were drowned. None of the white men 1 were lost. I "Twenty minutes after we struck there was nothing to be seen on the . ship. She landed fairly on top of the rock and was broken in two. As the ship was settling three dories were washed out of the davits. There was scramble for them by the panic stricken Chinese, but only four of them got into the boats. "It was terrible to listen to the wails of the doomed creatures. We could give them no help. A number of them were caught like rats in a cage and went to the bottom on the Oneida. Thirty minuses after the ship struck we were all in the boats, and not a sound could be heard except the oars in the row locks. We reach ed land safely, and when day broke went out to see if we could find any snrviyors. We found twelve China men flooting on the wheelhouse two days later. "Three of the Chinese had manag ed to reach the rock, but these were not found until seven days later, and two of them in the meantime had perished from exposure. The third had found a keg of spirits and kept himself alive on its contents." Just for Fun. Men's sins, it is said, always find them out. That isn't bo bad as if they found them in. Before you do anything wicked, re member that the papers will proba bly want to mention it. When a man is convinced that he owes anything to himself he is always very anxious to pay it. It is a sign that her husband is making money when a woman begins to get the look on her face of looking at you without seeing you.

Nouns are names of things. Small Boy Is ghost a noun? Teacher Yes. Small Boy How can it be? They ain't no such thing as a ghost. A fashion writer says that the per son who is well shod, well gloved and whose headgear is what it should be is alwas certain of consideration. It may be remarked with still greater truth that the person who is ' well heeled" has a mortgage on the entire visible supply of that article. De troit Free Press. Flopson Hang it all!

Beware of little sins mosquitoes drink more blood than lions. Den ver Road. Let Him Try It Himself. ; Some years ago it was the cubtom in France to conduct the condemned criminals through gaping crowds of spectators to the public guillotine. On one such occasion the unfortunate seated upon his coffin in the cart heard a would-be wit in the crowd remark to a companion: "Well, I'll bet that fellow don't1 feel like laughing." The coarse attempt at a joke stung the prisoner, and when he arrived at the scafflold he asked that the pro cession be stayed a moment, as he had a confession to make "Although I denied it at my trial, I had accomplices in the crime for which I have been sentenced, and there," pointing to the joker, "is one of them now." Great excitement ensued, and the party designated was seized by the gendarmes with no gentle hands. Out of the confusion somebody managed to drag order, and the wit was placed ou the scaffold beside his accuser. Such a fearful case to abject terror as the joker pretended was never wit nessed in that sombre locality. After enjoying his helpless fright for a few moments the fated convict said to the official in charge: "He tried to make sport of my suf ferings, but the man is innocent. And as soon as he seemed to be sure that it was no laughing matter to be here, I was curious to see how much such a funny fellow would laugh under similar circumstances." SPECIAL NOTICES.
