Causes | of the lower peninsula of Michigan SINKING OF SOUTH MANITOU ISLAND It Is of Considerable Size and Has an Unfathomable Lake in the Center. | Near the center of the South Manitou | Island is the bottomless lake. The inhab. | itants believe this lake is the crater of an | extinet volcano, and from this theory has | arisen the fear that the origin of the peculiar changes in the island was sels- | mic. This lake is entirely surrounded by | dense woods, and is almost two miles long. Like the harbor, its waters are as transparent as glass. It is a mysterious body of water and resembles the one in the old crater of Mount Shasta in Cali- fornia. It is not fed by streams or springs, although its level has not lowered or risen perceptibly during the many long years the Hollanders have lived on tho island. s ! No exact survey has ever been made by | the Government officials, but casual o servation leads them to state taat t level of the little body of water corre sponds very closely to the level of Lake Michigan. From this it is inferred that thete is a subterranean connecting chan- nel. The Hollanders argue that this does not solve the problem regarding the depth ! of the water. Soundings have utterly falled to determine its depth Even very close to the rim of the supposed crater the water is a great many fathoms d Again, in the small lake there are spe- | cles of fish not found in the big body ot water. .The mysterious pool yields black bass weighing as much a half pounds. , few of the fish found in Lake Michigan are ever caught in the deep hole in the island. | The first indication that the island was in danger of disappearing appeared o month ago. At that time it was discovered that the shoal sands extending two miles out from the western point of the cres- cent were covered to a greater depth than formerly. Lines let down near some of the buoys showed a like change, This was not régarded as belng unusual, for the waves are constantly shifting the sand deposits. | About two weeks ago, however, the beach near the lighthouse appeared to be slightly changed. The water had crept | farther around the boathouse at the life- saving station. Lines let down from a | tugboat showed the water to be nearly | twenty: feet decp. The following nignt | the boathouse was swallowed up. With | it a long Strip of the beach disappeared. | Next morning the water was still as | clear as on the day before. Many said | that the beach had slipped into the lake, | but others pointed out that had that been | the case the clay and sand would be | mixed with the water. A hurried trip | was made to the lake. The investigators | believed they would find the water gone and only an abysmal pit remaining. The | lake, however, was as placld as ever, and | a number of Hollanders, who had been | fishing since daylight, declared they had | noticed no peculiar phenomena. | The entire population of the island then ’ flocked to the beach. The members of the | life-saving crew and the lighthouse ten- | der”expressed the belief that the entire | point would soon be completely sub- | merged. The islanders dispatched a boat | Bear Point on the mainland | and | South asked Captain Lafberg to visit anitou. Captain Lafberg, who is well versed in | nautical affairs, was greatly alarmed ' over the change he saw in the beach. He warned the people to leave the island at | | small GOAL PRIGES GONTINUE T0 30AR HIGHER Seventeen Dollars a Ton for Anthracite in Chicago. | Increased Bids Fail of Effect in Relieving the “Famine.” R BEaa, v o) Dealers Blame-Railroads for Imabil- ity to Transport Sufficient Fuel to End the Suffer- ing. 2Ol T Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Within the last week the price of coal has advanced $2 on all grades. Offersof $15, and, in some in- stances, $17 a ton for anthracite are being made to local dealers, and $10 and $12 is the common price paid for hard coal with- in the week. The prevailing high prices bring no con- solation to the coal man, for he is unable to get his commodity into Chicago. The coal man is blaming the rallroads for the “famine,” but says that the freight mana- gers promise relief this week. Track prices for coal jumped skyward to-day, and there was little to be had at any price. It is from the tracks that the retail dealers get their supply, which {s £0ld to the consumer in bushel- basket lots. The cheapest grade was quoted at $4 a ton and before it reached the consumer an additional price of $2 per ton was tacked on. A corresponding ad- vance was reported in smokeless coal and the better grades of bituminous. The former is being used in the place of an- thracite, which is practically out of the market. SR Mob Fights for Coal. ST. PAUL, Dec, 20.—A crowd of several hundred persons broke through the door of the Northwestern Fuel Company's Robert-street office to-day after a re- markable three hours’ rush for coal, sav- agely beating a clerk who had acted as doorkeeper and admitted only ome custo- mer at a time. The company had re- ceived a few hundred tons of codl, which ‘was disposed of in single ton cash orders at $875. The police had to be called and order was restored with difficulty. Mixed Assortment of Wares. In a little village between Monte Carlo and Nice, there is a board outside a shop announcing: “Irish Whisky, Lald Eggs, English Spoken.” In Upper Norwood there is a shop whose windows is “fliled with shabby garments for both sexes and & basket of eggs.

They have always lived on the island in perfect security, and scouted the idea that the high sand hille would ever be submerged. They were told that many oceanic islets had disap- peared suddenly and in s manner that de- fled explanation. As soon as he returned to Sleeping Bear Point Captain Lafberg sent word to ‘Washington that in his oplnion a great disaster was in store for South Manitou Island. He said that the water at points about the lake had increased in depth from three to thirty feet and that the bed of the lake was greatly changed.— Chicago Inter Ocean. e ————— ADVERTISEMENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT To Enow What You Are Taking When Using Catarrh Medicines. Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and judi- clous treatment of catarrh, whether lo- cated in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized. The list of catarrh cures is as long ad the moral law and the forms in which they are administered, numerous and con- fusing, from sprays, inhalers, Wwashes, olntments and salves to powders, liquids and tablets, . The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and mo$t effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your sys- tem, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims as to what their medi- cines will do, always keep it a close se- cret as to what they are. The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, is largely because it not only cures catarrh but because catarrh sufferers who used these tablets know what they are taking intc their system. Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets, being composed of Red Gum, Blood Root and ‘similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, are pleasant to the taste | and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract. The cures that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets mplished in old. chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para- mount importance. when it is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies. Stuart’'s Catarrh Tablets meet with cor- dial approval from physicians, because their anti character render them AY their composition makes them a common sense cure for all- forms of ca- tarrhal troubles. = sell them at 50 cents for BICYCLES ..for Christmas...

( ¢hin Toy is a very happy man. He was married last night on the strictly Amer- ican plan to Miss Ton Kum, one of the prettiest Oriental maids ever born on' American scil, and he wound it all up with the swellest kind of a real Amer- ican wedding supper. This broke all rec- ords, for the custom heretofore has been to follow up the Christian ceremony with a heathen feast in some big restaurant in Chinatown. At Chin Toy's nuptials even the Chinese language seemed to have been harred, for the 200 or more | guests confined themselves to the choicest American phrases in exchanging merry repartee or swapping compliments. Chin Toy is a newspaper man, and proud of it, inasmuch as he is the associate ecitor of the powerful Chinese dafly, Chung Lai Yet Po, which practically dic- tatcs the policies of Chinatown. He is aleo a good Christian and one of the hardest working members of the Chinese Ccngregational Misson on Brenham place. He is also 42 years of age, but he doesn’t ook it. The bride, who is just 18, has been for the last five years a ward of the Presby- terian Mission, 920 Sacramento street, and her teachers say she was one of their brightest pupils. The courtship of the happy couple was of the usual placid Chi- nese style, but hedged about with many American safeguards. The marriage was celebrated at the Presbyterian Mission at 8:30 last évening, ihe Rev. Dr. Conditt’ officiating. There were a few specially invited American The rest were Chinese, but with the exception of the girls of the scheol all were attired in correct Amer- ican fashion. Some of the young men, | too, wore football hair. Miss Bessie Ah Tai a-rolling by playing Mendelssohn's “Wedding March” on the pilano. Then the groom marched up the aisle of the chapel, accompanied by his best man, whose Americanized name is Edward L. Park. Following them came the brides- maid, Miss Florence Chan, preceded by a dainty little Chinese flower girl in gor- geous Chinese array, who strewed white Chinese lillies along the pathway. Her name is Minnie Tan. Then entered the bride, leaning on the arm of Miss Don- aldina Cameron. Both bride and brides- maid wore . the conventional American white, and with their hair dressed high on their head, they presented as pleas- ir.g a picture of feminiinty as any Caucas- {an maid. ‘When the ceremony was finished Dr. Conditt gallantly waived his privilege of the first kiss in behalf of the best man, who wavered for a moment, but a quick flash from the bright eyes of the brides- maid aided him wonderfuly in conquering his desire. It was afterward explained that the bridesmaid and best men are engaged. A short reception followed, while hpth v started the ball congratulations and rice were showered upon the newly wedded pair. Then all re- paired to the Congregational Mission, where Chin Toy has fitted up rooms for ‘his bride, also on the American plan. In the chapel were several tables with covers laid for over 100, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to salads, sand- wiches, cake and icecream. There were sreeches, too, but no wine, for Chin Toy is a temperance man. OPPOSED TO CO-OPERATION. Labor Council Passed Resolutions Regarding tae Raising of Prices. The Labor Council held a meeting last night and passed a set of resolutions @ealing with the raising of prices of com- modities by employers. The council fin- ally decided that no union will in any way co-operate with the employers in raising prices.- The following resolutions were passed by the Labor Council: ‘Whereas, Complaints have come to the San Francisco Labor Council regarding the ralsing of the price of products through the alleged action of trades organization: therefore be it Resolyed, That this council denles such ac- tion and will discountenance any action which displays a_tendency toward combination be- tween employers and trades unions, while reg- ulating hours and wages, to use trades organi- zations to raise the price of any marketable product or purchasable service controlled by the employer; and . be it further » Resolved, That this council will not assist any labor organization in carrying out any regulation or azreement tending to raise the price of products or commodities. ————— Late Shipping Intelligence.

Bush, president of the Bank | of Shasta County; District Attorney Dozier and Frank Alexander, a well- known local colored capitalist, declare they are the victims of the preacher, and the, colored folk of the town generally are anxious for Draper’s reappéarance, Draper is accused of forging a note on | the Bank of Shasta County and securing $10 on it. The names of H. Bogar and J. H. Coleman were used. He is also said to have appropriated a watch belonging to Alexander and to have sold it for . The toy bank of a grandson of Bogar was rcbbed, and this, too, is laid at Draper's door. He occupied the pulpit in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church of this | city for a time.
