Captain, Hlis fl'sio and Several of His Seaman. of the Whaler Navarch, which was lost in .t'he arctic, and his wife came down on the (steamer Humboldt from St. Michael’s. Captain Whitesides says that the Navarch left San Francisco on March ‘2 last and entered the Arctic ocean in .July. She was caught in the ice at a point 120 miles northeast of Point Barrow. At first the captain thought the ship could be extricated from its position, but on July 29 he re- alized that there was no hope of such an event. Signals of distress were hoisted in the hope that the revenue cutter Bear or some'of the Whalers of the fleet would come to their assistance. The fog came and obscured them for (our days. They drifted rapidly north- ward with the icebergs. Fin-ally they decided to leave the ship. On Aug. 14 the whole crew .took to the small boats and started across the ice. After drag- Sing the boats for five miles they came to open water and embarked. The cur— rent caught them at once, and before they had gone ten miles they were in another ice pack. They then had only five days’ provisions, and t'hey..aban- doned the boats and started across- the ice on foot.- They got back safely and then commenced preparations for a sec- ond attempt to save themselves. All but- eight men decided .to push across the icefieids on foot. The weath- er was not bitterly cold, but it was fog- gy and disagreeable, and rapid travel was impossible. A limited amount of food was carried, for they thought they would surely reach the Bear or one of the Whalers within two or three days. The eight men loft in the "boat thought they were better off there than on the ice and were left to their fate. Away across the treacherous ice went the 37 men and- the woman. After one. day out the captain and his wife and seven of the Others changed their minds about the likelihood of saving them- selves by the method they had under- taken. They would come to open water now and then, which impeded their es- cape. Often it, was necessary to go around the massive icebergs. Nine of the. party went back to the ship, leav- ing 29 on the'ice. Nothing has been. heard of the 29 men since that day, Aug. 12. The party got back to the ship safely and made another start with eight in the party—captain Whitesides, his wife . and six men. They fooka small can— vas boat, into which they put a week's provisions. They got’into clear water .in a. few hours, and, paddling through the fog and darkness, avoided as best they could the drifting ice. They pushed on for hours. Finally they could go no farther, and they got out and walked over the ice. ‘ For_.-60_hours they kept on, first walk- ing and now taking to the small boat. At last land wassighted. The land proved to be Copper island, a barren, desolate island, from which position they Were rescued the following day by the Bear.,Capta.in Whitesides thinks the 29 men left on the ice are surely lost. THE MAD EMPRESS DYING. Widow of the Unfortunate Maximilian Near Death’s Door. ,- . Brussels, Sept. 15.—Carlotta, ex-em- press of Mexico, is so dangerously ili that her death is feared at any moment. Marie, Carlotta Amelie Auguste Vic— toire Clementine Leopoldine, former empress of Mexico and daughter of Leopold 1, king of the Belgians, was born June 7, 1840, and was married Ju- 1y 27,.1857, to tile ill fated Maximilian, afterward emperor of Mexico, who was - tried and shot on June 19, 1867. Maximilian, in the midst of his trou— bles in 1866, sent the empress to Paris with instructions to ask Napoleon III for more effectual aid, but she failed entirely in her mission and proceeded to Italy, where her reason gave way in consequence of the troubles she had already undergone and in view of those which she foresaw for her husband. The uhfortunate wOman was eventu- ally removed to She palace of Laoken, near Brussels, and, according to re- port, during her lucid intervals she has since employed her time in writing memoirs of ‘the history of the Mexican. empire.

Fever Patients Improving. , Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 14.—'i.‘he condition of affairs as regards the fever is not materially changed from the former re- ports. Most of those sick are improv- ing rapidly: Ti HES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as 'a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: _,. While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any otheI single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repaix strip inside the tire. See out No. 1 No. 1 By injecting M. & W. quick-repaia cement through the puncture, an: then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repair No. 3. No. 2. strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. . The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the Way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve." 'Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. . Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. ' Ask any bicycle dealer whether other ixii-es last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan 8; Wright guarantbe means. . Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or‘at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. N. B.—-When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a. tack or, nail in it, may iamage‘ it considerably. .- dmtgh- _ . no rr Y°PRSEL,F-' ‘ You canmell just as well as- a. physi- cian Whether your kidneys are dis- eased or healthy.
