Roofs Raised at Valdes and People Have Narrow Escapes, L Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec, 13.—The great- est storm in the history of the Copper River country had just abated when the steamer Nome City, which arrived from Valdes and way ports this morning, be- gan her v south. The wind began blowing a icane November 22 and, laden with snow from Glacier and Lowe Rivers, for a time threatened to wipe Valdes off the map. Many buildings had been ba rocked by the storm when the Nome C ventured to weigh anchor De- cember The gale attained its greatest violence the night of December 2 and the follow- ing day. The Northern Hotel, a frame structure three stories high, was wrenched and twisted and the front win- Gows blown out. The roof of the house of Mrs. Wortman was blown off, and her children barely escaped with their lives. They were halfway down the stairs when the roof was lifted and the snow had so blocked the entrances to the dwelling that it was with difficulty that they got out. The entire front of the Hemple & Dougherty building was blown out. the second floor the United States District Court was located. The records of Dis- trict Attorney Halen and Clerk Hellig were badly damaged.

GRAPE-NUTS. THINK HARD. It Pays to Think About Food. The unthinking life some people lead often causes trouble and sickness, as fllustrated in the experience of a lady who resides in Fond du Lac, Wis. «“About four years ago I suffered dread- fully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities.

Life’s Race. e From a Gainsborough clergyman comes | the plea for the exercise of common sense by parents when naming their children, | says the London Telegraph. He protests | against entering children for the race of ! life handicapped by bearing a name which may expose them to ridicule. Undoubted- ly there is much cause for the appeal, though it may be thought to come strangely from a clergyman when one; recalls that many curiosities of nomen- Slature have been drawn from the Scrip- tures. ¥or, Dbesides the- bearers of _the sensible if plain names of Peter, Paul, Luke, Matthew and the like, and the cor- responding multitude of Ruths, Maryss and Rebeccas, there have been a goodly number who answered to, but did not rejoice in, quaiit names gathered from the tables of genealogy of the Old Testa- ment. Seriptural names, however, are not now so common as they used to be; in fact, it is to be feared that modern moth- ers are more prone to select high-sound- ing pames from novels than appellations from the Bible. But the clergyman’s pro- test is rather airected against the growing inclination to give children “pet” names. The doting mother may think it pretty to call her child Kit or Popsie, but a grown man or woman hardly cares to sign these publicly. Some curious reasons have been elicited in the endeavor to find out how and why children have come by unusual names. Gabriel and Ruth were babies of devout coolie parents. “Me call him Gabriel ‘cause ob de great white angel who stan’ at de doh’ an’ might look after him lil' namesake,” said the mother, who “hoped for heaven” for her son, and she called her little girl Ruth because they wished that the story of the real Ruth might lead her to self-sacrifice. These parents carried the practice of selecting Biblical names to extremes, for their dog was yclept Moreover, after the animal of whom it is written, “Moreover -the dog licked Lazarus’ sores.” There is not much piety, however, in the ordinary circumstances that deter- mine baby’s name. Eastward, in the di- rection of Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Stepney, where bables are plentiful and sometimes not much regarded, it fre- quently nappens that parents bring their offspring to be christened without having determined upon the name it shall bear. Then the services of the clergyman are requisitioned, and, as a rule, another John or Mary is added to the register. Most Johns and Marys are John and Mary be- cause thelr parents were so named before | them, but when all the names of father | and mother and uncles and aunts are ex- hausted, and still there are babies un- named, distracted parents resort to Er- nestina, Hyacinth, Beryl, Agamemnon, Clarissa, Miranda or catch thankfully at | any current event which may help them | in their dilemma. Thus arose the full | ecrop of little Pretorias,” Bullers and Kitcheners. It is sad to think of a small girl having | to answer the attendance roll call at | sck:col to the name of Majuba Jenks, or, | as one malden will, Polly Paardeberg | Mason. Polly’s papa fought at Paarde- berg, and her mother may be pardoned for wishing to record the fact, but the ame will give away Polly’s age in the | Gays when she begins to be sensitive on | the subject. In the war time Pretora seems to have been first favorite, per- haps because less cumbrous than Bloem- fontein and the other tidbits of Trans- vaal nomenclature. Reminiscences of the craze remain in Colenso Cook, Kitchener Roberts Jenkins and Viectoria Ladysmith Brown—most registers had a share of this | patriotic admiration. Not till actually | glancing through the district registers is | it realized how much environment influ- ences the question of names. Mary .Anns and Emmas, Emilys and Jacks, Bills and Harrys grow up thickly in the neighbor- hood of the docks of Poplar and Lime- housge, while naturally in -the Jewish quarters of Whitechapel and Aldgate are found Joshua, Moses, Rebecca, Solomon, Issac and Hannah reduplicated into mo- notony. ——————————— | NEW YORK SERVANTS | BLACKLIST MISTRESS |The Way in Which Domestics Get | Even With Those They | Dislike. There is one side to this servant girl question that 1s seldom heard of, al- though it is a very important one and concerns the mistress personally. The trouble with this great domestic ques- tion has always been that it was sup- posed to have only one side. '~ If one hear the other side, and at the same time learn something of human na- ture, all he has to do is to pass away an idle hour in one of the many employment bureaus scattered all over the city. Seated in these bureaus can always be found servants waiting for places. Theses girls are not likely to be conversant with the affairs of the day, so their talk is rather personal and of a reminiscent or- Ger. They discuss the many places where they have lived, how they were treated in each and what manner of woman the mistress was. They handle their former employers without gloves, and it is possible for a girl with a griev- ance in the course of a few days of idle gossip in the various bureaus to slander a woman so that her reputation is known to every servant girl from the Battery to Harlem. But it must not be supposed that all these storles are untrue. Indeed, it is quite the reverse, for this is the only method the girls have to save themselves from getting into uncongenial households. “I wish there was no such thing as ser- vants blacklisting employers,” said the proprietor of an uptown intelligence of- fice, .“because it hurts business. I often have a fine lady drive up here in her car- riage and perhaps order a full retinue of servants. If she is on the blacklist when I send the girls to her they won't say a word to me, but they never think of go- ing near the woman. The chances are that she will return the next day and in- solently demand why I didn’t send any girls to her. Of course, I can’t tell her just what the trouble is, and she flounces out of the office in high dudgeon. “While it is provoking to lose patrons and commissions in this way it is impos- sible to blame the gifls, who'mine times cut of ten tell each other only what if true. The complaints: they -have against mistresses are many and varfous, but the most.common one‘is that of scolding. It has been said that a nagging woman will drive a husband -insane in three years, but the average servant girl has such a dread of the habit that she wHl not know- ingly submit to it for a month. Mischiev- ous children make no end of trouble and keep trained servants away from many a house. . Then, again, some women have the reputation of being poor pay or of looking through .the girl’s trunk all the time. I wish some of - the mistresses would come around here some day while they are being discussed. They would learn more about themselves than they ever knew before.” ———— The automobile mail cart is gradually displacing the horse-driven gvehicle in France. —_— ADVERTISEMENTS. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful ItIsin Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disin- fectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing pur- pose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath gafter smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth, and, further, acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis- infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All drugzists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char- coal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges. They are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, the char- coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the generai health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can resuilt from their continued use, but, on the con- trary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: “I advise Stu- art's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath; mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 2 cents a box at drugstores, and although, in some sense a patent preparation yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” Weak Ankles Nathan's Ventllating Ankle Supports for weak, sprained or wrenched ankles, chil- dren learning to' walk, skating, football and all athletic sports.

One Game of Chess Begun in 1793 8till Yet Un- finished, A cricket match which will last twenty- two years would try even the patience of the enthusiasts who throng our large cricket grounds every summer, but such a game 'is being steadily fought out at Avondale Park, Galveston, between two rival elevens, every mémber of which is over 60 y2ars of age. It was begun eight years ago, and on the 4th of June every summer the two teams meet and continue to play until a single wicket falls, when stumps are immediately drawn until the following summer. The possibility that death may claim some of the players be- fore the match is over s of no account, for the team which can place the greatest number of survivors in the fleld fourteen vears hence is to be deczared the victor. Equally remarkable was the cricket match of two years’ duration which was brought to a close not long ago at Apia, in Samoa. Each side consisted of a hun- dred players, and as the game was being played in aid of the building expenses of the local church, every batsman was re- quired to put a shilling toward the fund before going to the wicket, and when bowled he was at liberty to go in again on payment of a similar amount. The financial result of this protracted contest was over £3000, sufficient to liquidate the church debt. A game of draughts has been played un-. der very peculiar circumstances between | two Cornish families for the last forty years and is not finished yet. Whenever a member of either house dies the rela- tives meet at the deceased’s home as soon as the funeral rights are over, whereupon the two eldest members continue the game until one of the players loses a man. The positions of the draughtsmen on the board are then recorded and the game postponed until death gives the sig- nal for reopening the tussle. Altogether nine different players have so far been implicated in the game. During the Franco-German war two lieutenants in the latter army were en- joying a game of chess in the French farmhouse near Thionvilie, when sudden- ly a shell came through the window and, passing between the two players, scat- tered the chessmen in all directions, but without doing either of the officers any injury. that they there and then vowed to meet on November 2—the date of this battle— annually at a well known restaurant in Berlin and play a lengthy game, each op- ponent to have only one move every alter- nate year. For twenty-elght years the game was continued, but four years ago only one of the officers put in an appearance on the day appointed, and, having waited for the rival for some time, he called ‘‘stale- mate!” and, packing up the chessmen, left fihid place, knowing that his comrade was ead. In the same way a game of chess has been in progress between the chess club of Malvern, Texas, and that of Richeville, a small town in the south of France, for the last ten years, and may be said to have only just begun. Bach club is allowed one move, which is flashed by cable between the two continents every alternate year on Christmas day, and as both clubs are well matched there is every prospect of the game being left for the next genera- tion to decide, The most remarkable game on record, however, has been in progfess for over a hundred years.

Napa Asylum Officials De- clare Frank Cheesman Is Dead. Special Dispatch to The Call. SALINAS, Dec. 13.—Charles Albright, the hired man who suffered injury in the recent Graves ranch tragedy, is in a dy- ing condition and the physiclans say he cannot live until morning. The District Attorney, at a late hour to-night, was at his bedside securing his dying statement, which was substantially the same as that previously given. A second suspect Is now lodged in the County Jail. This man was arrested at San Miguel yesterday, but in the opinion of Sheriff Keef he'is not the man wanted. He has a very prominent scar on his chin, which could not have escaped the notice of the assaulted persons. He claims to have been in Yuma on Monday, the day of the tragedy, and has asked to have the officers telegraph the officers of that place to substantiate his statement. Lorenzo San Feliz, the first suspect, is still detained by the Sheriff, though he is undoubtedly not the man wanted. The man arrested at Santa Maria was re- leased, as the description telephoned to Sheriff Keef did not fit that of the fugi- tive murderer. NAPA, Dec. 13.—Since 1t has been an- nounced that the police suspect that Frank H. Cheesman, the Oakland homi- cide, who escaped from the Napa State Hospital last March ana has not been seen since by the authorities, is the man who assaulted the family of Simeon Graves near Salinas a week ago, it has come to light here that the hospital au- thorities were informed last July that Cheesman was dead. Mrs. A. P. Batten of 1907 Mason street, Berkeley, a sister of Cheesman, wrote to Dr. L. F. Dozier, the then superintend- ent of the Napa State Hospital, request- ing that Frank’s clothing be sent to her. Near the end of the letter she wrote, “Poor Frank is dead.” Dr. Dozier made no inquiry, but turned the letter and the clothing over to Sheriff Dunlap, who sent the letter to Sheriff Rogers of Alameda County and the clothing to Mrs. Batten. Sheriff. Rogers was requested to watch’ and see if Mrs. Batten sent the clothing away again. The local officers did not be- lieve the announcement of Cheesman’s death. Subsequently Secretary J. T. John- son of the Napa State Hospital was in- formed by Dr. Hatch, general superin- tendent of State Hospitals, that he had heard from what he believed a reliable source that Cheesman had really died. No reason was given for keeping the mat- ter quiet. Statuary and Lamps. ‘We have a select line of moderate priced statuary and fine lamps. Exclusive de- signs and best values in the city.

Chicago and New York: “Chicago and New York are the two wickedest cities in the world. They are swamped in vice and pleasure, and the churches are powerless to stem the tide of sin. They are growing worse and worse. “Neither Chicago nor New York has any hypocritical pretensions of being good,” he sald. “They tolerate vice without blushing. The Sabbath they desecrate and little more than one-tenth of the peo- ple attend the churches. A great wave of an engulfing ocean of pleasure, recreation, ease and idleness is drowning out the good and dampening the consciences of men and women. In the fullness of wealth they are forgetting the dangers that beset their homes, thelr children and themselves. “Vice stalks through the streets. In both New York and Chicago its flagrance is unchecked. The young men and young women of the higher order of society are growing up in luxury and idleness. “Is vice centralized in these citles? It is not, it is widespread. It is found in the sections where the wealthy live and hovers over nearly the entire area of each metropolis. Wickedness has spread to the fashionable sections of the cities, and once there has not been driven out. Instead of being combated, it was at first tolerated and now it is abetted.”—Brook- lyn Eagle. ° rival that he would beat him at six games running, one to be played on the anniver- sary of the birthday every year.
