THE ATTACK OF THE MOB. Horrors of the Cowardly Assault on| 4 -—The the Amertean Sailors ink Valparaiso. New York, Oct. the following account of an attack ym our sailors. Captain Schley’s men had been on board the Baltimore several months without liberty When he arrived) ut Valparaiso he received the usual visit of courtesy and an assurance of assistance. Other foreign ships were daily giving their men liberty. Therefore Captain Schley sent 170) men ashore. Of these. only four re- turned drunk, four overstayed their liberty, thirty-six were imprisoned, seventeen were wounded, one was killed outright and one subsequent- ly died. Men received from five to twenty two wounds, mostly knife and bayonet cuts in the back, which would charactize the assault as un- provoked, brutal and dastardly. No mitigating circumstanees have yet come to the World’s correspondent’s knowledge. It is probable if there had been any they would have been published. Captain Schley ordered a court on board the Baltimore to take testi- mony. The result is said to be re- markable for clearness and connect- edness. Two sailors in the xaulted by Chiliaus spitting in their faces. A crowd near by was waiting to attack them should they resent the insult. The Baltimore's wisely took refuge on a tram car. The crowd stopped the car and haul- ed the men out, beat them with sticks and stones and kniting them. One man fell with twenty-two stabs and while a comparion was assisting him to a chemist’s a policeman shot him through the neck. He died in- stantly. A second shot passed be- tween the flesh and the shirt of the other man. An officer witha white cap, pre- sumably a gentleman, drew his sword and slashed both the living and the dead. The attack then be came general. FRIGHTFUL CRUELTY. Sailors quietly eating in small res- taurants about town were brutally beaten and stabbed. Mounted po- licemen arrived, but, instead of suc- coring the sailors, they began saber ing them. One man was tied, with nippers about the wrists, to a horse, which started at full gallop, drag- ging the man through the streets. Afterward another man was tied to a horse and hauled to the station with a lasso about his neck. There were plenty of witnesses on shore to the shooting, but they were afraid to testify. One wrote an anonymous letter to Captain Schley and afterward visited the ship, but he says he would lose his life if he were known. One woman saw the deed froma neighboring window. The men were obliged to sign a paper declaring that they were satisfied with the po- lice conduct. The paper is in Span- ish and the men were ignorant of its contents. The Baltimore's men were com- pletely unarmed. Those arrested were searched at the station. Only six ordinary pocket knives were found. The Chilian investigation was secret. Although Capt. Schley urged that an officer be allowed to be present, his request was denied on the claim that such proceedings are always secret. street were as wen It seems when there i is a necessity for a dam the people are willing . to build it though it may be expensive The largest dam of any kind in the | southern hemisphere is that at Bret- aloo, South Australia.

For some time the question of better mail facilities for the rural districts has been suggested, but as yet has not been agitated to any considerable extent. Congress ap- proprited $10,000 with whicb to ex- periment in the direction of rural mail delivery, and Postmaster Gen- eral Wanamaker selected some forty villages, which had made application as centers of operation. The re ports sent in from these points so far, it is said, have been very satis factory, the revenue of the offices having been increased and the extra expenses very nearly covered from that source. A dispatch from New York says that an organized effort is under way among farmers to secure from con gress free mail delivery in country towns. The farmers’ alliance. pat rons of husbandry and others are canvassing the matter. Letters are being written to congressmen in fa vor ef the matter, and petitions to congress for free delivery are being circulated in many parts of the eoun try. Farmers assert that a daily mail delivery at their door will add preceptibly to the money value of their farms and will be worth still more because it will keep them in touch with markets and the outside world and rob farm life of its isola- tion and monotony. ‘The farmers are writing to agricultural press that this convemence would enable them quite generally to take a daily paper as well as to subscribe for the local papers more liberally.

We got a basket and put some cotton in it and laid the young ones there. They were almost big enough to fly. One had been badly torn in the neck in } its fall, but the others were safe, sound and hungry. After making a terrible to-do about it the parent birds succeeded in getting tothe basket and feeding their young. They were particularly assiduous in wounded bird, but the latter kept getting weaker and weaker, and we saw that it was going to die, The next day one of the youthful birds was gone. The parent birds had coaxed it away. By nightfall the other two well ones had foliowed suit. Then the parents came and called to It strug- It was | gled to obey, but it could not. too weak to rade its head. The mother scolded it a bit, warned it thatif it did not come it, must bear the consequences, and then deliberate- ly flew off and left it alone to die. I watched it five hours for some signs of her return, and then as night was fall- ing I killed the tiny invalid in mercy. A week later both parents hopped around on the grass about the spot where they had deserted their little one. They looked here and there. but never said a word. I wondered if it was possible that remorse was gnawing at their heartstrings. I hope so, but 1 doubt it. Inacorner of the porch two Phwbe birds had built a nest, and they too had a brood of four. You never saw such a hungry crowd, nor did you ever see two parents work harder to fill the mouths of their children. I loved to sit and watch them by the hour. The parent birds would fly to a tree a rod or two from the house, seize a bug and then fly back. Then four little mouths would be held up beseechingly and four little voices would clamor for that bug. They were « quarrelsome brood, that family. They could not agree as to the division of the spoils. The parents were very patient with them. They never uttered a note, only now and then they would give a partic- ularly obstreperous chick a peck with the bill to keep him quiet. One morning I found a little dead bird on the floor of the porch under- neath the nest. Whether he had been thrown out or had fallen out in one of the family jars I could not tell, but there he was as dead as a sprat, his greedy little stomach fairly distended like a marble with worms. The next day two of his brothers had shared his fate, and there was only one nestling left. The parent birds now had a sinecure. For a couple of hours they fed the soli- tary child faithfully. Then they drew off and discussed the situation. Was it worth while to raise a single bird? No! They would not do it. And, will you believe it? they basely deserted their nest. I tried to feed the tiny thing by hand, but it was wasted effort. It died ofstarvation and the cold, and a couple of mornings later its little form lay in the selfsame place upon the piazza. I do not doubt that the unnatural parents had pitched it over, for they were think- ing of building another nest there. But no Phebe bird will ever build again on that piazza so long as I am alive to drive them away. I draw the line at infanticide!—N. Y. Herald. The Reading Habit. | i One of the best habits thata child can acquire is the reading habit. The prac- tice of looking about for a book or a paper whenever a portion of spare time is found becomes a habit that can not be shaken off. It grows into a desire for knowledge, and becomes a power for good if properly directed. Interest a boy in reading good and useful books, and provide him with the right class of form low and debusing associations or cultivate alove for the life of the sa- loon and billiard hall. He will seekhis friends among the great and pure minds who have put so much of help, encour- agement and strength into the printed pages. Teach your boy the reading habit. Discourage any rapid ‘‘skim- | ming,” but let him know the i importance of thinking of what he reads’ Let the | reading habit grow into an observing | habit, and the boy is safe.—R 1 New | Yorker.
