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. < Como, Wls., Hyannis, Nebr„ Jan. 10,1898.

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. WINTER CIRCUIT.

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.

A 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 CANDY CURE CONSTIPATION 106 all 25c 50c DRUGGISTS compound last winter «»d spring, which made my blood pure and nerves string to malaria and keep ms well. Very truly yours, 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. ■
