' The Bark Jamaica Carries Passengers and
Crew to the Bottom.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 24.——The bark J am'aica
was lost OII Dos Rosas Tabasco on Dec. 12.
and all on board but three men and a boy ,
' t the press dispatches that she will reach
were drowned.
The Jamaica was on her way from Cam-
peche to Vera Cruz and carried 16 passen-
gers. The number of the crew is not
known. . *
A terrible “norther” swept down the
gulf the night after sailing from Cam-
peche, causing great loss to shipping in
the main ports. The Jamaica received the
full force of the storm in the gulf of Cam-
peche and labored greatly, on several occa-
sions giving signs of breaking up, but the
night was weathered through, and the next
day found the storm continuing with un-
abated force.
.As long as the ship remained in good
condition she was sent scudding along be-
fore the wind toward Vera. Cruz, and that
port was sighted once, but one accident
after another occurred to the rigging.
With almost all the sails blown away the
Jamaica turned and attempted to get back
into Campeche bay, but without success.
0n the afternoon of Dec. 12 the rudder»
became disabled, throwing the vessel at
the mercy of the storm. .
The passengers took to the boats, which
were repeatedly swamped. Most of the
crew put on life preservers and jumped in-
to the sea. ,
The captain was one of these. He strap-
ped 100 Mexican silver dollars upon him,
and clinging ,to a barrel tried ‘to reach
shore.
The survivors saw him sink, owing to
the weight of the metal. One passenger
after another sank, the boats proving un-
manageable. Every member of the crew
was drowned, and only three men and a
boy escaped of all the passengers.

Plans For
‘ Boston next Friday, and a suit of rooms
has been engaged for her at the Parker
House. During her stay in Boston she
will be in the especial charge of her late
husband’s relatives. Mr. and Mrs. William
Lee of Beacon street, Brookline. No plans
for her entertainment have yet been made,
and none will be made until she reaches
this city, beyond the fact that .ohe many
connections of the Lee family will show
her such social attentions as she may be
willing to receive. The statement that
the Princess Kaiulani is expected to meet
the former queen here seems to be an error,
as the former is now traveling in Europe
with her father, and letters received from
them yesterday gave no intimation of any
intention to come to this country.
Thus far Liliuokalani’s letters have
given no indication of any purpose in her
i own physical make-up.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The Nicaraguan
government has called for a voluntary loan
, of $500,000, one half payable in cash and
the other in: paper, representing the-public
debt issued to pay the expenses of former
wars. For this loan the government will
issue orders that may be used in 10 per

If importers offer cash alone in payment

be subjected to an addition of 4 per cent
to their duties.
Allan Line Freight Steamers.
MONTREAL, Dec. 23.—It has long been
the ideaof the proprietors of the Allan line
of steamships to increase their present fleet
of vessels with a number of freight steam-
ships of large tonnage and medium speed.
With this end in view, they have let the
contracts to a Belfast firm fora 10,000 ton
freight steamer, and the contracts for two
other vessels will be placed soon. The new
vessel will be 470 feet long, 52 feet beam
and will have a depth of 36 feet 6 inches.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. 23. -A canvass
of the homes of miners employed in the
Baltimore mine, where the explosion oc-
curred last night, shows’that all the men
escaped from the mine. It was at first sup-
posed that four or five of [the men had been
caught in that part of the mine where the
explosion occurred, but now all have been
accounted for. The men who were taken
out last night are getting along well.
Collapse of a Bridge.
WHEELING, Dec. 23. -——At Littleton a wire
suspension bridge over a creek broke down
while crowded with people, and 40 were
thrown into the stream. Wilbert Ham-

Artie Brown and Harry Anderson were
fatally injured. Miss Cora. Murphy, Sim-
mons Fox, William Mays and his son and
Newton Cannan were slightly hurt.
Lawlessness In Kentucky.
MAYFIELD, Ky., Dec. 23.—A part of the
mob that hanged Jim Stone contipued
rioting. One hundred shots were fired into
the house of Tom Chambers, a negro, and
the place was afterward set on fire and
burned. There is much bitter feeling, the
negroes having made threats to avenge the
lynching of Stone and the killing of Henry

DEXTER A KNOWING DOG.
He is Not in the Show Business, Either.
but Assists in the Tobacco Trade. '
Broolilyn may claim the best educa-
ted dog in the country not engaged in ,
thegshow business. This canine is the
property of a tobacco house in the city
and accompanies a city salesman about
on his rounds. ‘ . .
The dog is a Scotch terrier, and is
the owner of a comedy face that at
times, is a study. At 8 o'clock. when
the salesman brings the form’s wagon
around to the store, Dexter is ready
for the morning’s work. He mounts
the seat alongside his master, who
takes Dexter’s clothing from beneath.
the seat and dresses him up. The dog’s .
wardrobe consists of a Tam O‘Shanter
hat and a fancy cape, such as worn by
women. A briarwood pipe that has
seen better days is stuck in his mouth
and the rounds are taken up;
The salesman has a regular list of
customers, on whom he calls once a
week. Dexter knows this as well as
the salesman. «.
Not long ago the salesman forgot to
take Dexter out one Thursday morn-
ing. On Thursdays his route is about
Flatbush avenue. At 11 o’clock he drove
to a certain Raines law hotel. where
he is in the habit of eating a few sand-
wiches while discussing trade with the
proprietor. When he went in Dexter
was inside, curled up under a chair,
awaiting his arrival. He had been
there for half an hour. Thinking that
perhaps the dog had made a chance
guess at the day, his master on the fol-
lowing Tuesday again left him at the
store, with instructions to release him
at noon. This was done, and two
hours later Dexter was waiting for
him at a customer’s in East New York.
Several Times since then he has made
tests, and foundthat Dexter knew his
route as well as he did himself.
Two weeks ago the salesman was ta-
ken ill and a new man sent out to see
his trade. The dog seemed to grasp
the situation at once. After trying to
make the new man understand that he
was missing a customer, Dexter raised
a bowl and by pawing and scratching
made him know that he wanted his
harness off. When the Tam O’Shanter
and cape were removed he jumped
‘from the wagon, and with impatient
little barks ran ahead piloting the way.
For a week, until the return of the
regular salesman, Dexter showed the
route every day. Dexter’s weight in
gold would scarcely buy him from his
owners.
GENTLE ART OF BEAUTY.
Practical Suggestions for the Preservation
of Good Looks.
To be beautiful according to the end
of—the-century standard, which is set
. largely by acrobatic actresses and ath-
letic grand domes one must be supple.
This desirable quality is procured only
through eternal vigilance and exercise.
Before she dons her stifiencd bod-
ices in the morning the woman who
aims to be agile should practise bend-
ing from her waist toward the floor,
without bending her knees, uhtil she is
finally able to touch the ground with
her finger tips. She should also bend
as far back and as far on each
side as possible without moving her
knees. With her hands on her hips
and the lower part of her body rigid,
she should take a rotary exercise,
twisting the upper part of her bodyas
for around as possible. In addition to
giving suppleness and grace these
movements, if taken in moderatiop, are
preventives of rheumatism and kin-
dred ills. '
The wrinkle is the facial blemish
most dreaded by women, for powders
and paints, enamels and lotions are
powerless to hide it. Next to cultivat-
ing a placid disposition that refuses to
allow sorrow and worries to etch lines
about the lips and eyes, a nightly mas-
sage with a skin tightening wash is
the best safeguard against the foe.
Tincture of benzoin put up with gly-
cerine and rose-water, in the propor-
tion of one fluid ounce of the first to
one-half of the second and seven of
the third, is admirable for this purpose.
The massaging should consist of firm,
even smoothing of the fine lines with
the ball of the thumb.
The Original Grandfather’s Clock.
The personal property of the late
James Terry, at one time Terryville’s
leading citizen and President of the
tEagle Lock Company, was sold at pub-
lic auction ' by Richard Baldwin.
administrator of books and household
goods left by Mr. Terry, besides a/fcw
articles belonging to the estate of Mr.
Terry’s grandfather, Eli Terry, the first
clockmaker of America.
The greatest interest centered in the
sale of the original “grandfather’s
clock,” Eli. Terry’s first production,
and therefore the first tall clock made
by an American. It is a remarkably
handsome timepiece, the ultimate own-
ership of which has been the cause of
considerable controversy. The bidding
was confined to James Terry of New
Haven and E. Clinton Terry of Hart-
ford, the late Mr. Terry’s only sons,
and the clock was finally bought by E.
C. Terry for $1,000. An oil portrait of
Eli Terry and Eli Terry’s first shelf
clock were also secured by E. C. Terry
for $260.—Hartford Courant.
Easing Bis Conscience.
“Well,” said the deacon, “I sold old
Bill to-day.” ,
“Who to?” asked his wife.
“Jim Allenbaugh. Got $50 fer him."
“Fifty dollars! I don’t see how your
conscience ever let you let anybody pay
that much for a balky horse that ain’t
worth more’n $15.”
“Well,” said the deacan, thoughtful-
ly, “I don’t-believe I could have done.
it only I know that Jim Will take him
out on one of his Sunday fishiu’, trips,
an’ old Bill will balk and Jim will hey
a chance to set for three or four hours
meditatin’ on the sin of Sabbath break-
in’. ”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
