The Rotation of Parties.

ce

 

Attention has been directed to
thie curious fact that for twenty-
four years the people of the Unit-
ed States have chosen their Cheif

- Executive alternately from the
two parties. In 1872 Grant, Re-
publican, was elected; in 15876
Tilden, Democrat, (though count-
ed out;) in 1880 Garfield, Republi.
can; in 1884 Cleveland, Democrat;
in 1888 Harrison, Republican; in
1892 Cleveland, Democrat; in 1896
MéKinley, Republican. |

This shows several things. It
shows that the people do just as

ithe Democratic party in.the re-

Notwithstanding the defeat of

still some measure of victory in
the fact that several congressio: al
districts have been redeemed, and
that the Republican majority in

So far ag the revurns from the
various Siates have been offictaily
counted the Democrats bave
made the following gaizs: Cali-

1; Idaho, 1; Indiana, 3; Liiin ois, 1;

Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, 1; Tennes-

making a total of thirty Demo-

cratic members gained. The Re
publicans have made geine in
only four States—New York, 1;
Louisiana, 1; , Maryland, 3; aud
Virginia, 1—making a total of six.
The Populist gains have been as
follows: Califurnia, 2; Illinois, 2;
Indiana, 1; Kansas, 4; Michigan:

dissatisfied with the existing or-
der of things or a proposed

the polls and there is an end of
it. The two parties have oppo-

questions, and yet the chaoge

|STRANGE SHIP STORIES |

Qdd Occurrences Related by Old
, Sailors.

Painful Affiictions and Deaths Brought
About Among Searfaring Men
in Mysterious Man-
ner,

 

While a reporter was talking with
some idle tugboat men who were sit-
ing on the stringpiece of a South
street pier, where tugs lie while await-
:ng orders, the conversation turned on
‘strange, true stories of sailors’ adven-
.ures, and the reporter asked the men
to relate each the most remarkable
story that he knew to betrue. The first
one said:

“When I was working in Philadel-
phia, several years ago, the Italian
brig Leonore came in at the capes, after
a passage of 54 days from Lisbon. We
ot the tow and the mate passed us his
uawser. I took a couple of turns with
it and sung out to him to make fast.
At that a couple of men started to do
so, but they had only got one turn
around the windlass when one of them
dropped and grasped his arm as if he
was going to scratch himself. But the
moment he did this he gave a yell, and
then the other man began to scratch
his leg and yell, while the mate reached
the back of hisown neck and howled
as bad as both the others together.
Then the man at the wheel seemed to
eatch the inféction from forward, for
he dropped on the deck, leaving the
brig to steer herself; but what as-
tonished us still more was that the cap-
tain, a portly, solemn-looking man, de-
liberately put his glasses down on the
top of the cabin, clasped his hands
across his stomach, leaned over the rail
and groaned as if he were dying.

“It looked as we'd a crew of crazy
Dagoes in tow and no mistake, but
ufter a minute they all got quiet again.
and then we learned the trouble. They
had sailed out of Lisbon with provisions
for 40 days. When only a few days out
asea washed the deck cask of water over- |
board, and they were necessarily put |
on an allowance of water, Thereafter
they had hard luck in winds, and event-
ually had to work on short rations, The
result of it all was that some kind of
rash broke out on every soul of them,
and it was a rash that itched beyond
endurance, and yet made them so sore
that when they tried to relieve the itch.
ing they hurt themselves so that they
could not help yelling. They had been
suffering that way for a couple of
weeks when they passed us that line.”

“You would think that a ship was
about the best place in the world for
pure air, wouldn’t you?” asked another.
“Well, I was shipmate with two mei:
who were suffocated in their bunks for

Lin —
Lor

want of pure air. It was on the British

steamer Deerhound at anchor off Locust
Point, Baltimore. Chief Engineer Wil-
ham Kirkley, Second Engineer John
Hull, Third Engineer George Quinton

'and Dick Weber, a boy, all turned into

their bunks in the engincer’s cabin one
frosty night for an all-night-in sleep.
Next morning when the steward came
to call the boy he found Mr. Kirkiey
lying face down on the floor, with his
head near the door, and unconscious.
The rest were in their bunks. The boy
was dead and the rest were supposed to
be; but when they were carried out on

+ deck Kirkley and Quinton revived, while

Hull, whose heart was still beating,
died. They had been suffocated by gas
from a leaking coal stove.”

“We towed the Norwegian bark
Donna Zoyca into the Erie basin one
day,” said a third, “and when we got her
there we had to call on the ‘longshore- ’
men to help make her fast, because there
was not one man on board of her fit for
duty. The ambulances carried them—-
ten in all—to the hospital, where onc
soon died, but the rest got well. She’d
sailed with that crew to Cadiz, and there
she got a cargo for Rio Janiero. On
the way the captain and ten men took
sick and at Rio they were sent to the
hopital, where the captain got better
and returned on board. Then the ves-
sel went to Aracaei, where the captain |
had to be left in the hospital and the
mate, with the cook and eight men, un-
dertook brinving her to New York.
During thc whole voyage no one had
known what ailed the men, but the
health aythor'ties over in’ Brooklyn
found they had all been poisoned by
white lead used in painting a water
tank.”

“T was working in Milwaukee one
summer,” said a fourth, “when the cap-
tain sent me around to the hospital to
inquire after a friend of his who was
there. As I reached the door a couple
of grain trimmers that I knew were
just lifting a man out of a grocer's
wagon. They carried him into the hos-
jAtal and said he had been landed from
the fishing tug. Belle and she ha‘
steamed out of the harbor as soon as
he was clear of her rail. The man
seemed to be dead at first, and he was
almost. For two weeks he was delirious
with brain fever and spent most of his
time cursing somebody for leaving him
to drown,

“He had been a sailor on @ schooner
that left Milwaukee for Chicago two
‘| nights before I was-sent to the hospital.
It was a rough night and a wave washed
him overboard. He would _haye

‘| drowned quickly, ‘but a ‘mate had been
| quick witted enough to heave over a
| pine fender as he saw the man go over

‘the rail. The fender was washed with-

in the ca of the man, and he had

taken his belt and made himself fast
to the log so that his head was sure to
be kept above water. He floated about
all night and the next day. He saw a
number of vessels, but was unable to
attract the attention of anyone. As
night came he thought he was dying
and gave up all hope, and the next he
knew was when he came to in the hos-
pital. He had been picked up by the
fishing tug about.36 hours after he was
washed overboard. He had floated un-
conscious for about 14 hours.”—N, Y.
Sun.

AN INVOLUNTARY HERO.

Two Pieces of Hot Ham Won an Officer's
Promotion.

A Polish officer, now dead, who came

to the United States soon after the
Russians suppressed the Polish insur-.
rection under Gen. Chlopicki, in 1831,
used to tell with much zest the story of
his promotion from the ranks. He was
a private of cavalry when Chlopicki’s
retreat began. The troops had made
a weary night march, and were in
bivouac for breakfast when scouts
brought word that they were almost
surrounded bya Russian force.  In-
stantly the Poles hurried to their sad-
“dles, mounted and sought a way of es-
cape.
The young cavalryman had been boil-
ing some pieces of ham for himself in
a camp kettle. Anxious to “save his
bacon,” he dumped the _ half-boiled
meat into his saddle bags and joined
hiscompanicns. Two minutes later his
horse became restive, at a most inop-
portune moment, for on surmounting a
ridge the Poles had found themselves
confronted by a Russian force of ing
fantry.

There was but one thing to be done.
The Russian line must be broken
through at once. It was being rapidly
reinforced. If the Poles should fail to
cut their way out at the first charge
they must be all captured.

On they rushed at the order to charge,
and now our young trooper’s horse had
become fairly frantic and quite uncon-
trollable. He sprang away far in ad-
