TWO THRILLING
SEA STORIES.
Jjail Steamer City of Panama
Escapes From a Pri
vateer.
“San Francisco, Oct. 20.—The
Pacific Mail steamer Citv of
Panama had a narrow escape
from being looted and sunk on
her recent trip south.
A privateer, the little steamer
Mexican, commanded by Pros
pera Morales, the Gautemalan
rebel, now dead, was in the
port of Salina Cruz when the
City of Panama arrived. There
was no indication that the Mexi
can was an armed vessel, and
when Morales asked the agent
of the Pacific Mail Line if the
City of Panama would be the
next vessel to Acapulco and if
he could have his vessel towed,
his request was complied with.
All preparations were made
for towing, and then Capt.
Crowell, got an inkling cf the
character of the craft and of a
plot to seize the City of Panama
when the two vessels should be
well out to sea. The City of
Panama had SIOO,OOO in treas
ure aboard.
On the pretext that the ar
rangement would have to be de
layed for a time, until the agent
could communicate with San
Francisco, the City of Panama
managed to slip out of Salina
Cruz before the pirate could
give chase.
Subsequently Morales and his
band took possessions of the
town of Ocos. The captain of the
British man-of-war went ashore
to confer with the British Con
sul, but was ordered back by
Morales, and told to get out of
port as soon as possible. The
captain returned to his ship,
but only to summon marines. ;
When he landed the second time i
Morales had taken to the woods. <

Ship Gollivera Reaches Port
SifrninQ Sugar For
Filol.
St. Johns, Newfoundland,
Oct. 10—The steamer Gollivera,
18 days from Hamburg, steamed
into port today, burning granu
lated beet root sugar under her
boilers, having run short of coal.
Capt. Mootyers’ official log
shows that that the vessel en
countered perils that would
make the bravest heart quail.
On October 2, in Pentland
Firth, a fierce tide drove the
ship back at a rate of two knots
an hour, although she was
steaming ahead with full power.
On October 8, a terrible tea
smashed the starboard gig and a
lifeboat.
Later, everything movable on
the deck was carried away.
The officers took no sleep,
their services being constantly
needed. The sea swept the pin
nacle stand from the deck.
Woodwork was cut away as with
an ax. On Sunday the forecas
tle tail was carried away. A
slight lull gave an opportunity
to steam west, but on Monday
she hove to while the hail pelted
down, smashing the skylights.
After dark the sea boarded the
steamer, flooding the wheel
house, chart room and cabin.
The ship was never above
water during Tuesday night. At
2p. m. the chief engineer re
ported that coal was getting
short. Everyone was put to
worn cutting up all the wooden
parts of the vessel that could be
spared. When this ran short a
beginning was made on the car
go of sugar. The last anchor
parted during this trying time,
although held by 6 inch cables,
and the ship was at the mercy'
of the waves for six days.

—A
Dangerous Fire Raging In a
Mine shaft.
Pana, 111., Oc*. 19. —Strikers
from out of town have arrived
here with dynamite, and that a
plot to blow up the Spriugside
stockade or the Penwell er Paua
shafts has been hatching is sur
mised.
Mystbrious Firing.
Virden, 111., Oct. 19.—After 11
o’clock last night there was fre
quent and mysterious firing into
the stockade, whieb is being guard
ed by soldiers of the First Cavalry.
The soldiers replied, but apparent
ly without effect, although details
were sent out in an attempt te
find where thn shots cam* from.
The guards occupying the sentry
boxes along the stockade thought
they came from the row of miners’
houses south of the stokade, but
the last shots were fired some dis
tance down the tracks, where the
guards are bivouacking beside a
big bonfire.
The officers are at a loss to
know who would fire on the sel
disrs, as the feeling of the miners
has been very friendly toward (
them.

The shock of the explosion lifted

SAVED SOLTERS!
Who Used Paine’s Celery
Compound Did not Suf

rk 'VWwv
The soldiers who did the most
good were those who kept well.
There were plenty of brave men
who were of little use when the
time came, because they took
less care of their health than
they did of their musket.
Malaria and other fevers soon
picked out these men much
more unerringly than the ene
my’s sharpshooters.
One set of men went about
keeping well in a businesslike
way.. They took P-ine’s celery
compound at the first indica
tions of intestinal troubles,
weakness, or when fatigued and
liable to fevers. They used
Paine’s celery compound to pu
rify their bleod and put their
health on a firm basis as soon
as they made up their minds to
join the service.
Corporal Beckwith thinks
[there was a great deal of need
less sickness among the volun
teers. A t Chicamauga many of
his mess mates followed his ex
ample and fortified themselves
against disease by Paine’s cele
ry compound, and not a man of
'them had malaria or fever of
any sort or spent adty in the
hospital.
Corporal Beckwith writes :
Camp Olymple, Sept. 17, 1898.
Dear Sirs—When I see so
many of my poor comrades
coming home looking fit only
for a hospital cot, I give thanks
t® Paine’s celery compound for
the faet that I went through
my enlistment without any doc
tor's medicine, and am today
even healthier than when I went
to Chicamauga. I firmly be
lieve that this good health is
du® to my using Paine’s celery

Corporal James 0. Beckwith,
Co , M, First V.t., Valunteer In
fantry.
Secretary of War Stanton
used to say that the best defini
tion of rest is a change of occu
pation. That may be true for
one in health, but a sick person
needs to have his digestion reg
ulated, his blood purified and bls
nerves invigorated. Paine’s cel—
» rj compound brings the sort of
rest tha sick body requires
through sleep and nourishment.
Just as tho great lawyer stud
ies each one of his cases till be
knows it on every side and in
every possible aspect, so Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL.
D., of Dartmouth college, the
discoverer of Paine's celery
compound, had studied tbe
nerves in health and disease,
when well nourished, iu men
and women and children years
before he looked for the remedy.
Paine’s celery compound was
the outcome of his entire pro
fessional life. A fitting memo
rial to a life of hard study and
close observAvion, —a remedy
that the world could not lose to
day, at any price I
Paine’s celery compound
claimes and equalizes all the
nervous tissues and induces the
body to take on solid Hash. It
purifies the blood, as is so clear
ly shown vy the rapid clearing
of the skin of all evidences "f
bad humors within. It is an in
fallible relieffor salt rheum,
eczema and all blood diseases. ■
