J., for Portiand, Me., loaded with red clay, struck, it is believ- ed, a submerged wreck and sank at 2 o'clock this morning. The crew and two passengers took to the vessel's small boat and were buffeted by the high seas all night and part of to-day, until rescued ! by the Sandy Hook life saving crew. The life savers were towed to the boat one mile off Galilee by the New York Yacht | Club committee boat Navigator on whieh was C. Oliver Iselin, managing owner of thé yacht Reliance, and Bert C.

GRANTS PASS, Or., Aug. 30.—A big meteor, weighing a ton or more, spent its flight and fell to earth on an isolated spot in the mountains a few miles east of this city. The meteor was not seen to fall, but the monster rock, half buried in the earth, has been found. The rock cut in twain a log across which it fell. The log was seared and burned by the flerce heat of the celestial body, as was also the sur- rounding woods and timber, ‘When found the meteor was cold and had probably been on earth a number of days. Its substance s entirely different from the country rock of the mountains on which it fell. _On one side it presents the appearance of an overheated brick and is of a reddish-brown color. It looks as if it had been at one time flercely heated. On the other side it looks very much like ordinary glass slag.

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 30.—Delegates are beginning to arrive for the annual re- union of the National Society of the Army of the Philippines, which will meet to- morrow. The East is sending a large del- egation and the indications are that the Western and Southern States will be well represented. Fully two thousand are ex- pected. *St. Louis, Chicago, Chattanooga, Put-In Bay Island, Buffalo and Cleveland are making a campaign for the next re- union. Two questions of vital importance will be discussed. At present, contract surgeons who served in the Army of the Philippines are not eligible to the soclety. Many that served in that capaclty desire to become enrolled and the by-laws may be so amended that they may become ers. The soclety also will consider ability of forming a ladies’ aux- illary similar to the one in connection with the G. A, R. Wednesday will be the greatest day of the encampment, the mil- itary parade taking place on that day. General Kobbe "and staff, Generals Wheaton, Summers, Merritt, MacArthur, Funston, Metcalf and Brigadier General Charles King are expected to be in line. ——e——— PROMINENT PHYSICIAN IS ACCUSED OF CRIME | Dr. Francis H. Whitsitt, Well Known Throughout Kern County, Is Placed Under Arrest. BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 30.—Dr. Francis H. Whitsitt, a prominent and well known physician, has been arrested at Kernville and charged with a serious offense. Deputy District Attorney Flournoy to- day received a letter from Justice Dan- ner announcing the arrest and asking him to proceed to Kernville to prosecute the case when it is called for hearing September 4. No details of the case are given in the letter and the name of the complaining witness cannot be learned on account of the difficulties of communication with Kernville, which is thirty miles off the raflroad, with only indirect communica- tion by private telephone. Dr. Whitsitt formerly resided in Kern City and is well known there and in Ba- kersfield. About a year ago he removed to Kernville as resident physician for the Kern River Company at its large power- plant at that place. He also worked up a very large practice through- out the mountains. During his residence in Kern City Dr. Whitsitt was promi- nent, both socially and fessionally, being a member of the Kern County Medical Society and the San Joaquin Association of Physicians. He also was a prominent figure at banquets and so- cial functions. He is a single man and about 35 years of age. A brother resides somewhere in the northern part of the State, i I vessel would not keep afloat and the! crew and passengers took to the small | boat. For a time they held to the stern | of the schooner, but as there was danger of her going to the bottom at any mu-[ ment they cast off and drifted. About a | mile. off Galilee they made fast to a fish pound, where they remained until res- cued. ISELIN VOLUNTEERS. Repeated efforts were made by the life ®aving crews to launch a beat, But the heavy sea running made it impossible. Meanwhile, word had béen sent to Sandy Hook for assistance and Mr. Iselin volun- | teered the services of the Navigdtor to v the life saveps to where the small boat was dn danger of’being swamped. It was 11 o‘clock this morning when the | Navigator located the twelve persons in | their perilous position and it was fully an hour before they could be rescued. This | was accomplished in ®s daring a manner | as has ever been told in any sea tale. | The big tug made Several attempts to get | near the vawl and then gol to, wind- | ward cast off the. Mfeline. With splen- did dextedty a line was sent frem the lifebont to a pole on the fish pound and paid out until the yawl was .reached. ° The shipwrecked crew and passengers were in such a condition that they could not help themselves and Captain Patter- son of the life saving cew and his men had to lift them out. 'First came the two women and then three sailors. Meantime, under the direotion of Mr, Iselin, the Navigator'’s crew had thrown a dozen pails of oil overboard to the windsvard of the yawd, so that the sea was caimed and the big tug had taken a position go | that the wind did not catch her on the beam. The women when brought aboard Wwere carefuily attended to, Mr. Iselin having taken along a woman attendant. WOMEN. WOULD NOT LEAVE. Captain Frost of the Mason said later that just before the Navigator arrived they had concluded that the women would die in a few hours and they had decided to. try for the beach. He . sald that Saturday, when they were out near the lightship at anchor, the Old Domin- ion Line steamer Hamilton offered to take them off and he urged the women to.go, but they declined to léfive without the men. During the night he believes the Mason struck something. Thousands along the shore watched the clever work of the life savers. Twice the lifeboat was filled level with water, but as she is a self bailer she cleared her- self. The going down in tow of the Navi- gator was In itself a perilous thing In such a sea. When the men returned Mr. Iselin sald a special word of praise to them and in return was heartily cheered. When Captain Patterson asked for the assistance of the Navigator, Captain Barr of the Rellance, who stood by, sald: “I have fifty men; every one of them will volunteer to help if you want them.” e NATIVE SONS OF SONOMA PLAN A BIG CELEBRATION Every Parlor in the County Will Take Part in the Admission Day Festivities.

It is a Soiatts atisfaction to feel that one woman can write to another telling her the most private and confidential about her illnéss, and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, —a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and with a knowledge of woman’s ills greater than that possessed by any other person. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her,and although she publishes thousands of testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all ‘her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Mrs. Pinkham is so amply qualified to give advice in cases of female ills is for the reason that over one hundred_thousand cases come before her each year,—some personally, others by mail, and this.has been going on for twenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success, —think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absclutely free. As an illustration of the good coming from such advice we herewith ortrait of Miss Hattie DeGroat, rs. P My stomach was very kham’s ability to help them. s. Pinkham has on file. ““DEAR Mgs.
