The Ward line steamer Seneca , whloh ar rived In New York recently from South Cutan ports , brought with tor W. H. Sey mour , engineer's yoeman of the refrigerator ship Glacier , who was reccuod from drown ing after he had thrown himself from the hip I a to the s a near Cipe Cruz. Seymour came- aboard the Seneca , at Santiago in charge of Burgeon Burns , U. 8. N. , of the cruiser Cincinnati and an attendant. Ho was mentally deranged and waa bound for St Elizabeth's hospital for the Insane at Washington. I While the Seneca was on her way to Men- unlllo on November 22 , relates the Now Yor * Tlvcs , F'ymiui became unruly and waa placed In Irons. On November 23 the Seneca left Manzanillo tor Cienfuigos and | Seymour was allowed to have the liberty of the main deck aft , so that he might get a little freh air and exorcise. Hand cuffs were atlll kept on hU wrists In order to prevent him from making any violent demonstrations. At 10:30 : o'clock to * stew- aril apiHMred upon the bridge and Informed ( First Officer Reed , whose watch it was , that a passenger was overboard. The ahlp waa at once stopped and backed up to where Seymour , win U a large , powerful ? " * n. waa seen swimming , handcuffed aa he was , to ward the ahoro , which waa between three and four miles dUtant. A atarbo&rd br-at was lowered away with alt ipeed. Flrat OOlcer Hed took com mand of the boat and It WM manned by Fred Hanson , George Thompson , Chris topher Knudsen and Louis Lanan , oamen. The boat mad * at once for Seymour and tie WM dragged from the water and taken buck to tbo ahlp. When the maniac was overtaken he waa aUH awltnmlng on hU back , but ho made no resistance. It was probably one of the speediest rescues on record. Second Officer Parker wu ia bta bunk when th ? alarm WAS given. He waa scut for to relieve < tlio first officer , but the rcscuo was so ipefdy th t It us all over before he had re.ichoil the bridge. When Seymour WA.I kc4 why ho had jumped overboard he Mid : "I thought I'd 4ake > a bath. That WM the only way I could get home. " STORIES OK UAI.VIN IIRICC. Ho TV He Oucr Hclpi'd n I'nrli Mol > IIU GcnrroNlly nnd Good Nnturv. Calvin S. Brlco , during his six years of public life In the United States senate , made hosts of warm personal friends. Many of these , after the announcement of his death , grouped together In the senate cloak room and told A correspondent of the New York World Interesting etorlcs of his ca reer. reer.Drlco Drlco took care of his friends. One of tht < m waa his old law partner , Jatnca Ir vine , now of New York. As young men , both poor , and nothing to live upon but prospects , and these none of the best , they began the praotlcse of Uw together In Lima , O. Irvine waa atlll poor when Brloe noa a very rich man. Several years ago Mr. Brlue visited hla old homo and called on hit former partner. "Jim , " be said , as ho looked around the old office , "ChrlBtnias Is coming on. I'vo been lucky and made gome money. You've worked hard , and made little and deserved more. . Accept , thla as a aouvenlr of your old partner. " ' H was a check for $25.000 that Mr. Brio * handed James Irvine. Later ho called Ir vine to Now York and put him onto several good things in the Hno of his profession , and he is there today , a comparatively rich man. man.One One afternoon when affairs In the ecu sts were droning along several senators in tha cloak room'got Into a discussion over the Dreyfus ease. Some one apoko of the Im pulsive and emotional uaturo of the Freeh- man. "Yea , " said Mr. Brice , "they are easily excited , nnd I helped a Parisian crowd In one of Its emotional flts. " Instantly there nas a clamor for the story , for Mr. Brlco told a etory well. "It was this way , " ho replied. "I hap pened to bo In Paris during the commune. Them was a goo.l deal going on in Franco about that tlrao and the French people made It quite lively .it the capital. I wit nessed the razing of the Vendome. A rope was thronn over the top of the column and a 'thousand ' men possibly were tugging away. The rope broke and a second at tempt uas made. Carried away with the enthusiasm of the scene I Yusbed Into the croud and pulled with the rest. The col umn came down. Oh , yes , the French are a very excitable people , " and Mr. Brlce chuckled as ho made the observation. The actual wealth of Mr. Brice has al ways been more or less problematical. It Is highly probable that his wonderful ex ecutive abtnty gave to his railroad stocks a value that will cease to attach to them , now that his culdtng wind will no longer control. Whatever might be the condition of tha stock market or however roughly he may have been handled , Mr. Brlce/ never worried. Ho frequently said that he couM always sleep and awake refreshed. Ho once told a fellow senator that If ho knew ho waa ruined ho would be able to enjoy a good night' * rest aod be prepared to begin the battle over again the next morning. His will power was IndomnltabTe. But Mr. Brlce waa prudent. Knowing the fleeting- power of irlch.cs anil the vicissitudes of railroad stocks , ho made an investment that neither bulls nor bears could attack. His IIfo was insured for { 500,000. Mr. Brlco himself Is authority for the statement that he never speculated in stock * on margin * . He always bought outright such stocks as he believed were good invest ments. He WM opposed to wild gambling , tbut did frequently enjoy' a game of poker. It waa very poor policy to play cards tor money , Mr. Brlce said , because when you won a friend's money you Usually lost the friend. Card playing waa up for dlicuerldn In i the cloak room of the atnate ono day by a coterie who Indulged in that pastime. Mr. Brie * said that when be flrat came to Washington be set aside $50,000 a year for his personal pleasures. He was undecided whether to expend it in a yacht or tee It disappear over < the card table. It Is a well- known fact among the senator's friends that he seldom "made a winning. " When asked what conclusion lie finally reached on the subject the senator smiled significantly as he replied : "Well , I didn't buy the yacht. " Charity never appealed to Mr. Brlco in vain. In the bard times of 1893 and 1894 , during the winter months , it was not an unusual thine for some dealer In Lima to reoelvo an order from Mr. Brlco to dlatrlb- ulo EOO barrels of flour or BOO tons of coal among the worthy poor. I Shortly after he wns 'elected to the senate Mr. Brlce attended a state convention at Columbus , occupying a conspicuous scat on the platform. An Incident that occurred at that time showed the aSsolute Imperturba bility of Mr. Brlco under disagreeable clr- cumetanctfl. John H. Clark of Youngs town , a brllNant orator , addrcsolng the conven tion on absolution providing for'the elec tion of senators by the direct vote of the people , referred to the * enate ns a million aires' club and declared that Ohio did not again desire to be represented by a man who had bought bis teat , Clark spoke In thla strain for several mlnutca Mr. Brlce only smiled good naturedly and chatted with bis friends while the harangue wa 'pro gressing. It was Impossible to ruffle him. A year later Mr. Brlce was chairman of a convention at Dayton when this eime Mr. Clark arose to offer a resolution. Chair man Brlce , recognizing htm well , smiled de murely aa he said : "Wilt the gentleman from the Eighteenth district please send up hla name ? The chair does not happen to remember It. " PIECE OF FIREPROOF WOOD. Wonld Not Dnru Itvoanao HardeneA by Prnaure of Water. 'Have you ever seen a bit of wood that you couldn't burn ? " said an old sea captain to a Baltimore Herald man the other day. "Why , lota , " I replied , "the briar root , for Instance at least , if It's good Ironwood , too , and one or two others. " "I don't mean those , " he said. "But have you ever seen a bit of common deal that Ore had no effect on ? " He pulled from his pocket a morsel of what looked like white Norwegian deal and handed It to me. ' I waa surprised at Ita weight. "Put it in the gaa Oarao , " he said. I did so. But beyond a blackening of the surface there waa no effect. "That bit of wood , " wont on the skipper , "waa part of the gunwale of one of my boaU. We were whaling In the South aeas and 'harpooned a big , right whale off the Cape of Good Hope. The creature aouqdcd , the rope fouled and the boat was carried down. Probably It was taken half a mlle or more below the surface. The whale rog again and waa killed , and a portion of the b' t waa recovered from tbo line which eillI hung to It. It was the pressure of the water hardened It Ilk * that. " Thousand Tonarae * . Could not expresa the rapture of Annie B.
