Story of the Loss of the Whaler Ohio— Twenty-Five Perished. The steamer Dora, from Seal islands, Alaska, has brought to San Francisco, Cal, two sur- vivors of the whaling bark Little Ohio, from New Bedford, which was wrecked off Point Hope, Alaska, October 3, 1888. The details of the wreck are now learned for the first time. Lisburne was sighted on the morning of Octo- ber 8. The day was windy, and toward evening one of the worst storms ever in that region came up. About 9 o'clock the bark struck near Point Hope, but as the air was dense with fine snow it was at first thought an iceberg had been struck. The vessel seemed to be rapidly going to pieces, and Capt. George T. Allen the first mate to cut away the ! ae the water be- vessel went to pieces. Alexander Omey gave uj while on the vessel and killed = it with pistol. The Pease, and second mate, ‘so badly frozen that they died on the beach. Several of the men were killed by the debris of the wreck while attempt- <= ¢rawl upon the beach. October 10 the mate, Manuel Lopez, and the fourth mate, Jos. Enos, with their sailors, put off to intercept ‘whaling bark, and the natives say they saw the boat capsize, and ull were drowned. oe THE AMERICAN PEOPLE the Inhabitants of the Central Kingdom. From the Edinburgh Review. No state of the Union is a nation, though several states exceed European nations both in size and population, the state of New York, for example, being both larger and more popu- lous than the whole of Switzerland; and no state represents a historical nationality, Hence the experience of America, it may be observed, throws no light on the possibility of using “federalism and local autonomy as convenient methods either for recognizing and giving free scope to the sentiment of pationality which may exist in any part of empire, or for meeting the need for local tutions and distinct legislation which may arise from differences between such — the restof theempire.” The states, looked atas a whole, make up the United States, but the United States are nothing but the political form into which circumstances have molded the constitution of a single nation. The Americans are as much one people as the French or the Italians; they form a more com- pletely united body than do the inhabitants of United Kingdom. The men you meet at New York differ less from the men you meet at Chicago than Londoners from the citizens of Edinburgh or than both from the citizens of Cork. The difference, indeed, between whites ‘and blacks is of course fundamental, but the aim of the negro is to imitate to the best of his power the ordinary American citizen, and bet Hse 7 exist at present and, as far = one dare pro ‘anything, there is not muc! likeli wok ae exist in the union any- like negrojnationality. Meanwhile—and this is of primary importance—the division into states does not correspond with differences of religious creed. An Englishman who goes from London to Edinburgh enters into a new moral atmosphere. Who can pass a month in Scotland without hearing of the differences which divide the Free church from the Estab- lishment? What sane man living in England cares to recall these subjects of division? The Roman Catholic citizen of Ticino is a different man from the German Roman Catholic of Lu- cerne. Each differs from the German Protest- ant of Berne or the French Protestant of Gen- eva. A citizen of the United States isan Amer- — is not a Californian or a New ‘orker. ———_+e+—_____ Played Billiards All Night. A good story is told of the late S. L. M. Bar- low’s experience, several years ago, with some democratic friends who had gone to his sum- mer home at Glen Cove, on Long Island, to spend a holiday with him. The party was made up of the late Gov. Tilden, Charles A. Dana, then as now editor of the Sun; Man- ton Marble, editor of the World; Smith M. Weed, since become prominent in politics, and one or two other men of position. After dinner his guests made their way to the billiard room and began to play. Before long Mr. Tilden confessed to sleepiness and proposed to go to bed. Mr. Barlow accompanied him, with the purpose of returning later to his pleasure-seek- ing friends, but when he got up stairs he reached the conclusion that, as his guests w where to sleep, he would follow Mr. Tilden’s example. He did so, and slept soundly until after daylight the following morning. On awakening he heard the rattle of the billiard balls, and concluded that, as his guests were such early risers, it was quite desirable that their host should get out 2s soon as possible. He did so and went to the billiard room, where the game had proceeded without interruption through the whole night. He found at the door, the only exit, his faithful but fierce bull- dog standing guard. The guests had made, during the night, one attempt after another to get away and go to bed; but the bulldog had lone bis duty so successfully as to prevent their departure, and there was nothing else to do through all the long watches of the night but to return to their cues and billiard table. ————o-____ Went to Take in Fall River. It was reported in Fall River, Mass., yester- day, that a syndicate of English capitalists were endeavoring to secure control of the man- ufacturing properties in that city. The con- cern mentioned as one of the number sought after isthe American printing company. M. C. D. Borden of Bliss, Fabyan & Co., New York, princpal owner in the company, it is stated on good authority, had received an offer and was considering it. ————o+-___ The Smallest Baby. Mrs. John Porter, of Otsego, N.Y., gave birth et week to a baby that weighs only 30 ounces. The child is barely 10 inches long and measures but 3 inches across its shoulders. It is per- feetly formed, apparently healthy and lively and Vigorous. It is clothed in doll’s raiment and rests comfortably in a small doll’s carriage. Both parents are of usual stature. eee Read the Right Books. From the New York Christian Advocate. Any one who will consider the interests and dangers of the young people with whom he comes in contact in his daily pursuits will find opportunity to give a turn to their thoughts which may lead many of them away from destruction and some of them up to dis- tinction. A librarian in New York city some | time ago noticed one youth reading novels at the rate of one a day, apparently having no other occupation. Ina casual conversation he learned that the boy was interested in art and called his attention to a number of books on that subject and loaned him Philip Gilbert Hamilton's works on copying. One result of this was that the young man discovered a talent of which he never knew himself to be possessor, and soon secured a place in an artestablishment. Hundreds of young people are devouring worthless literature and ne- | glecting books which would help them amaz- ingly a simply —— no one points out to them r way.

The Norfolk and Western railroad company is about to consolidate with some of its auxil- iary companies, including the Norfolk terminal company, ard to create a consolidated mort- gage upon its existing lines, which will be a first mortgage on the terminal facilities at Norfolk and Lambert's Point, Va., now the property of the Norfolk terminal company, and also a it mor e on the Ohio and North Carolina extensiot ut to be constructed. The mort- gage also provides for the ultimate refunding ata lower rate of interest of all underlying liens, a large of which may mature or may be redeemed during the next eleven years, and will, therefore, become in time a first mortgage upon the entire system. ———— ee —_____ He is Now the Duke of Fife. Queen Victoria has directed letters patent to be passed, under the great seal of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, granting the dignities of a marquis and a duke of the united kingdom to the Right Honorable Alex- ander William George, earl of Fife, K.T., who was married to the Princess Louise of Wales, the queen's granddaughter, Saturday last, and his heirs by the names, styles and titles of marquis of duff, in the county of Banff, the duke of Fife. Must Go to South Carolina. Gov. Beaver decided at a late hour last night to honor the requisition of the governor of South Carolina for Rev. E. F. Flemon, the col- ored Pittsburg preacher who is wanted on a charge of murder committed in 1884. A large delegatign of colored men, including preachers and laymen, made appeals in the prisoner's Be- half. “After hearing the argument of counsel Gov. Beaver said he would request the gov- ernor of South Carolina to furnish Flemon, or Geldell, safe conduct to the place of confine- ment. The Pittsburg committee thanked him for this much, but they were disappointed that the requisition could not have been denied. Fate of the Last Cornplanter Indian. ‘The last Cornplanter Indian remaining along the upper Ohio met his death at the bands of a murderer on June 15. The Indian, Jacob Jami- son by name, left East Liverpool, Ohio, to go to Holton, Pa., to visit his wife. He had about $12 with him, and was to return the following Monday. Nothing more was seen or heard of him until yesterday, when his body was found in the Ohio at Steubenville. He had been in- duced to visit a house-boat called the Aunie A., a resort for thieves, and had there been killed, robbed and his body thrown into the river, —+e0e—_____ The Destroyed City of Kumamoto. Kumamoto, the city on the Island of Kiou-Siou which was destroyed by an earthquake, as stated in Tux Srar yesterday, is a city of 45,000 inhabitants, situated in the center of the Island of Kiou-Siou, on the Gulf of Simabara.” The Island of Kiou-Siou is the southern-most of the three principal islands of Japan. It is separated from Corea by the strait of Corea, and from Hondo, the largest of the Japanese groups, by the strait of Shikoku. The island has an area of 16,839 square miles, or about one-third that of Pennsylvania, and its population is about 6,000,- 000. The island, like those in the Japanese group, is a mountainous one, the chain of ac- tive volcanoes which starts at the north end of the Island of Yezo, extending clear to the southern extremity of Kiou-Siou, eae The Peach Crop Injured, «Reports of damage by last week's storm in Sussex county, Del., and Wicomico and Worces- ter counties, Md.. say the prospective peach yield in western Sussex will be reduced nearly one-half, while the corn on the low lands is almost ruined.

At Buffalo Tom Lynch, a local fighter, stood up before Peter Jackson, the Australian cham- pion, last night for a four-round contest, Lynch was to receive $100 if he was not stopped in four rounds under the Marquis of Queensbury rules, There was some good sparring in the first round and Lynch received some terrible body blows.

D. C.. SANE AMID MADMEN. Annie McCormick’s Terrible Experi- ence in a Connecticut Asylum. A Bridgeport, Conn., special to the Phila- delphia Press says: There is much interest here in the case of Miss Annie McCor- mick of this city, who in now in New York, after having been pro- nounced sane by a special committee appointed by Judge Fenn, An appeal hss been made by Prominent citizens to have an investigation made at the Middletown insane asylum to as- certain if there are still patients in that insti- tution who are unlawfully or inhumanly con- fined. her a competency. looked with eyes on the success of Miss Annie, and pondered many months over a plan to obtain a portion or the whole of the dressmaker's wealth, She went before a magistrate and made application to have Annie incarcerated in an asylum as an in- sane person. She employed a young mr sician, who interviewed Miss McCormicl and afterward certified that she was of dered mind. On the strength of this certifi- cate she was and sent to Middletown, and aconservator was appointed to take —— of her money. In vain she told the offici of the institution that she was the vic- tim of a conspiracy. They heard just such stories every day, and would not listen to her accounts of the way in which she had teen treated. The asylum physicians would make no examination for themselves, but depended solely on the certificate issued by the Bridgeport doctor, and Miss McCormick was locked up. She received no treut- ment for her alleged disorder, and no one opi to care whether she lived or died. She says now that the terrible tortures of mind which she endured as a result of her imprison- ment were sufficient to set a sane person crazy, and it is a wonder to her that she did not break down, For a whole year Miss McCormick endeavored to find some way to communicate with outside friends, but there was noopportunity. She was closely watched, but this was the only special attention she received. Had it not been for her strength of mind and great cour- age she would still be an inmate of the asylum, but her perseverance watchfulness had its reward, and at a favorable op- portunity she escaped from her room by means of @ rope, which she twisted from the torn covering of her bed. She let herself down from a third-storg window, and, half-dressed, she fled as far as she could before daylight. Then she hid herself from observation and traveled again a whole night. At the house of a but honest farmer she told her story, aud it was believed. She found the farmer's wife willing to give her some additional cloth- ing, and received directions how to reach the town of Goshen. Arriving there, she found friends who were sure of her sanity, but who had been powerless to prevent her incarceration, They gladly aided her to get to New York, an (ayeeagion were at once instituted by the Rev. ulius Nelson, Dr. 8. H. Platt and Judge Car- roll to have her again put in possession of her property, which fortunately had not been ap- Bro) riated by her sister. She has now been leclared sane, and the authorities have no fur- ther claim upon her. Gov. Bulkeley has referred the case to the state board of charities and instructed them to place the responsibility where it belongs. It will be interesting to learn if there are other cases of a similar kind in the asylum at Middle- town, and the board will probably make a thorough investigation. Miss Nora Farrell, of Norwalk, who has been confined in the asylum, has effected a release ina peculiar way. She was placed in the asylum by relatives ten months ago, butsoon regained pos- session of her mental faculties. She wrote a note explaining her situation and condition, and placed it in the drawer of a sewing machine which was to besentaway. The machine came into possession of C, W. Kennison of Middle- town, and, after finding the note, he caused a thorough investigation of Miss Farrell’s case to be made, the rcsult being her discharge from the institution. . ——_—+e0«—_____ A Juvenile Prize Fight.

Vivian Holt, aged fifteen, weight 108 pounds, fought Reuben Holmes, aged fifteen, weight 105 pounds. The boys were in training for three weeks, Robert MeNelly training Holt. Gus Price was referee, H.

Lord Randolph Churchill made a speech at Birmingham last night. He said that the con- servative party in Birmingham ought to re- ceive a larger recognition than the dissidents appeared willing to accord. The election ought not to proceed on the principle of men before mensures. The conservatives had a right to ask the dissidents to define decisively the platform on which the latter appealed to the electors. Otherwise the dissidents could not expect the conservatives to vote for policies which, apart from unionism, the conservative party would strongly aud even desperately op- pose. If the conservatives chose to exert themselves they would carry more than half the seats in Birmingham. 0 Reasons for Expecting the Valkyrie. From the New York Sun, July 30, A yachtsman who arrived by a recent steamer from Southampton and saw Lord Dunraven’s yacht fitting there, said last night that, in spite of all reports to the contrary, he is sure that the Valkyrie is coming to America pretty soon. She is expected to leave Southampton about August 1, and about twenty days are allowed for her passage to New York. Skipper Tom Diaper is to come with her and a full racing crew. It is further hinted that she is comin to’ stay—that is, she will remain in New Yor! waters all the winter, so as to be ready to race next year in case some of the live English yacht clubs choose to challenge for the Ameri- ca’s cup. Club men are beginning to speculate already on the result of the Goelet cup race off New- port next mouth. ‘The new Morgan yacht nstellation is the dark horse in the schooner class, and, as the Puritan is the only one of the big slope left, she will have to fight it out with the Katrina and Titania, —eee——_____.

A Study of the Prince of Wales and His Family. France, July, 1889. Thad the next box and the nearest place in it to the prince of Wales and family at Buffalo Bill's show, upon the walls of Paris. “I know ® man who would pay 2,000 francs for it,” said Mr. Heron 0. Crawford, as he gave it to me; but prefer to give it to you for nothing.” Lamenting that I could not charge the man with name unknown half as much more for my company and take him into the box, I reported at the show with my daughter and was put in the corner chair next to the prince’s box, who had no box on the farther side of him, there being the gangway and general exit, The prince's box was draped with British flags and, like all the boxes, was merely a low, inclosed rea in front of the audience. All the boxes but these two had been sold for the Johnstown “Gath” in Cincinnati: ‘TIMES HAVE CHANGED. Here was the great grandson of that George III who objected to American independence sitting with all his family among the Americans mo hie ppm tare open, obliging; the = of all good-feeling men was a' for hiss end tho be Dokeace s show he ad often seen fore in expression of his feeling for an American — The = sonages of the show, such as Cody, Buc! eo lor and John Burke, were spoken Pr ch ced prince in a democratic way. All the rose when he enteréd and stood till he was Seated. It was not snobbery but civilization that made them do so, and in conformity with the usuges of other people—that same con- formity which some wouk Spe in religion and worship, and yet sneer at their country- men for the simple conformity of politeness. The prince of Wales had with him his son and natural successor, Prince Albert Victor, three daughters and his wife Alexandra, Two ladies, names unknown, came with these. WALES SAT BY HIS SON. Who will probably also be king of England, for Wales is above forty-eight years old, and Albert Victor is past twenty-five, ‘THE PRINCE OF WALES isaman of above medium height, stoutish, thick-chested, bearded dark brown, with abundant hair except on the crown where he is tfearly bald. He has a large snout-like nose, a rather sybarite face with large cheeks and lipe, the upper lip especially course, I thought, though, he had it covered with hair, His com: plexion is not very clear, but not muddy; his eyes are blue and of kind, considerate expres- ion, but the general expression of hiscounten- ance is neutral, or I might say, foreign, like a stranger who does not pretend to understand things around him and is merely being enter- tained, He looks no more than his age, and looks more respectable by training than by in- heritance; he appears a better man than bis earthy features would require. ‘I remarked to Mr. Crawford, who concurred in the remark, that the prince of Wales looked like a rich Ger- man banker of Jewish blood in the midst of his congenial family. THE SEMITIO EXPRESSION is pretty distinct. The eyes of the prince are those of a man accustomed to reflect upon large financial transactions, His curiosity is not marked; if he looked at any one it was at some lady. He was well bred, felt his situa- tion and was natural and modest. I should think he would weigh 200 pounds. He was dressed in a dark gray suit and spring over- coat, with suede half-tanned gloves of gray, and carried the remains of a cigar, which he lighted as soon as he sat down, at 11 o'clock. In his coat lapel was a bit of colored ribbon or army mark, like the Loyal Legion’s ribbon in America. During the performance he acted the parental and family part mainly, being the sole order-giver and prescriber of the family’s movements. He was brought in by a repre- sentative American committee, consisting of a dentist, an actor and a newspaper letter writer, the latter, Mr. Haynie, who comes from Chicago. I did not see the prince address any remark to his wife, but she was affable and APPARENTLY HAPPY, and very well preserved, still tall, fairly fleshly for a tall woman, with a clear, rosy skin, good teeth, and red, healthy gums. She seemed more English than her husband, and wore whitish-gray jacket, a polka-dotted dress of black or dark, and had a large, long foot, in- cased in a sort of gaiter hair-cloth. Her children were shorter than she; all wore white jackets and had long, bowed Jewish noses, The son, who goes by the name of Prince Collar and Cuffs, wore those articles rather conspicuously and had a nose that was both high-bowed and homely—a nose nearly round from the bridge to the nostrils; his skin was pale and clear, and he looked like his mother, 100 Death in the Well. A Raleigh, N. C., special says: “Our com- munity is considerably exercised over the sick- ness of many persons which is attributed to the effect of water drunk from an old well at Milburnie, on the Neuse river, about 6 miles from the city. About two weeks since a party of young ladies and gentlemen attended a pienic at the locality named and during the evening drank freely from the well situated near the river. Since that time twenty-four out of twenty-six of the party have been sick and four of them have died. In each case they were attacked with nausea and vio- lent purging, accompanied with high fever. Some of them are now very ill and the disease seems to have assumed a typhoid form. On Saturday last Dr. Battle, the state chemist, procured a bottle of the water, which is now eing analyzed, and the result be an- nounced in a day or so. In the meantime the well is being filled uj soe Mr. Garrett Entirely Recovered. From the Baltimore American. The visit of Mr. Robert Garrett to Bar Har- bor has had a most wonderful effect on his health, When he left Baltimore he was in bet- ter health than for many months, but the sea air of the Maine resort has further aided him 80 much that he is now able to conduct per- sonally his own business and enter into it with his old-time zeal and ability, His health is now such that arrangements are being made to open his home on Mount Vernon place, in this city, so as to be ready for his occupancy this fall and winter. Mr. Garrett will resume his business connections on his return to the city. Friends who have seen Mr. Garrett are struck with the great change for the better in him and are delighted thereat. He reads the rs daily and is well posted on matters and, besides, conducts his own cor- ce—something he‘has not done for soo Keen-Eyed Linemen and the Subway. From the Epoch. The other day I was watching some men re- moving telegraph poles from the streets, and I remarked to a bystander, concerning a man who was on top of a tall, swaying pole: “That's a brave man.” “Yes,” he replied. “They are plucky fellows, all the linemen, but the most remarkable thing sbout them is their vision. A bee hunter has no better eye than a competent lineman, The city poles are high and the wires are far from the pavement, yet a lineman can walk at fair speed along the curb and follow with his eye a wire that he has been sent to repair, never confusing it with others, aud detect the place where it has been crossed. Now, I suppose, the subways will develop a man with an organism 80 sensitive that by touch he can tell between which manholes cir- cuit is broken.” Sarah Althea’s Hopes Dashed.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especiallyso in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day « full report of every transaction of public im- terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the Usited States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa= THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It ts de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE DAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. — > The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below.
