Part Played by America In Country's
Advancement Acknowledged
With Gratitude.
His Imperial highness, Prince Tsnl
Tno of Clilnn, In the course of it
speech ho delivered at the twelfth an
nual dinner of the American Aalntlc
association at Dclmonlcu'ts in Now
Yorlc, said:
"II Ib an encouracliiB hIru of tho
UmeH that Aiucrlcuns tiro taking a
much greater Interest In what Is o
trig on In China than they did a little
while nt;o. Tho free Interchange- of
views on questions of public Interest
cannot hut be advantageous to both
countries. On tho other hand, we also
wish to know moio about other coun
tries. Our olllclals and merchants aro
boglnnlng to travel more and more to
foreign lands In search of Information
and opportunities. This thirst for for
eign Ideas Is having its effect upon
tho wholo country. China Is now
passing through a great crisis in her
history. Tho old order of tilings Is
fast giving place to the now. What
wo need most now Is men men ablo
to do tho work that has to be done.
"Though we have established
schools and colleges In all parts ot
tho empire ns fast as o can, It will
bo some decades yet before wo can
hope to liavo such school.) and col
leges as you have In this country..
Still, wo have mado a beginning. In
the meantime wo Intend to send a
steady ntream of students to your
wintry Thanks to the generosity of
Uio American government, In remit
ting a portion of the Hoxer indemnity,
China In able now to send 100 students
to this country each year for tho first
four years and 50 thereafter. There
will soon bo 10 government students
tn this country. These students on
their return to their own country can
not but glvo a good account of them
selves. "It in my sincere hope that they
will do their part In guiding tho af
fairs of their country In tho path of
progtess and reform and In binding
China and the United States together
villi : strong tie of friendship and
fiooil feeling."
BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED
' Our llttlo daughter, when threo
mouths old, began to break out on the
head and wo had tho best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any,
good. They said bIio had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. Tho
burning and itching was so severe that
sho could not rest, day or night. Wo
had nbout given up nil hopes when wo
read of tho Cuticura Remedies. Wo at
ouce got n cako of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment nnd ono hot
tlo of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol
lowed directions carefully. After tho
Urst doso of the Cuticura Resolvent,
wo tisod tho Cuticura Soap freely and
applied tho Cuticura Ointment. Then
sho began to improve rapidly nnd In
two weeks tho scalo camo off her
head and now hair began to grow. In
a very short time sho was well. Sho Is
now sixteen years of ago and a pic
ture of health. Wo used tho Cuti
cura Remedies about five wcoks, reg
ulaiiy, and then wo could not tell sho
had been affected by the disease. Wo
used no other treatments after wo
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Hlla M.

"Show Me Another."
Soon nfter twins had arrived at tho
homo of n prominent dry goods mer
chant recently the proud lather led
his son Richard, aged four, Into tho
room to soo the little strangers. Tho
father first pulled down tho covers
.ind showed one of tho babies to his
son. Ho then wnlked to tho other
stdo of the bed and exhibited tho
other twin. Richard gazed at tho two
for n moment with a noncommittal
ook on his face, and then demanded:

1TI1 the passing of the
sailing vessel from the
tea has gone the sea's
romance. R o in a n e
cannot lle without Its
villains. Hoarding mas
tors, bucko mates, bul
lying rnptainsthpsp
were tho vlllnlns of sea romunco, and
they nro gone, or going, with the sail
ing craft they lived In.
Chief among them hi their genera
tlons was the boarding master of sail
ortown. Though he never went to
sea, ho was the heavy villain In every
plot that delivered the unlucky sailor,
or tho unluckler landsman, Into the
hands of captains and mntca. Mo3tl
they were bneaklng. brutal, cunning
scamps, these boarding mnsters, own
ers of low dives along the water
front, which they misnamed bailors'
boarding houses. They hung in tho
wake of incoming ships, mnde fi lends
with tho easiest marlo nmong tho
crows and balled or bullied tlieni into
their dens. There poor Jack Tar was
kept and entertained with bad whisky
and worse women until his money
was gone. Then he was shipped
aboard some vosfoI, nfter signing
away ono or more months' unearned
wages In payment for an Imaginary
board bill and n "donkey's breakfast,"
sea slang for a straw bedtick. "lllood
money" and 'Mead horse," tho sailors
called this robbery. The captains al
ways paid It, taking tho Fallot's "ad

bo paid out of the debtor's "hide" or his wages.
Hoarding masters of tills class weie petty ras
cals. They dealt In men tit retail. The brothers
John and I'etor Sherman, of Irvington, on tho Pa
cific coast, were of another type. They dealt In
men wholesale, shipped entire crews. Tholr
boarding houses were licensed by tho govern
ment. Captains bargained with them openly.
Tho shipping commissioner of the port winked
at their dovlous ways. A crowd of thugs, run
ners and hangers-on served them nnd thrived by
their favor. They were men of substanco nnd
owned or controlled as part of their business ev
ery saloon, danco hall and resort In the crooked
streets and dark alleys about tho wharves. Upper
Irvington drow ti deadllno about tho waterfront
and seldom ventured over It outsldo of business
hours. Jack and Pete Shcrmnn wcro kings of
Irvlngton'u Ballortowu.
Every autumn saw a big fleet of "wind Jam
mers" ships of 2,000 to 3,000 tons register lying
off Irvington. Tho wheat of tho now northwest
was in their holds, consigned to ports In Europo
or India, by way of tho six-months' Journey
round tho Horn. Tho wheat fleet. Irvington
cnlled It, and when the wheat fleot camo, upper
Irvington stirred itself, snllortown roused to
vicious llfo nnd the sallortowu kings reaped a
harvest of blood money.
No captain shipped n crow from Irvington un
til he hnd done business with tho kings and paid
tholr price. Captain Brown, of tho bark Cnrmar
thnenshlrc, learned thnt to his cost. Ho put Into
Irvington for a cargo at a tlmo when ships were
plenty and men hard to got. Ho was uncon
cerned, for his men hnd been shipped In England
and would not bo discharged until tho homo port
wns reached. Captains of deep-laden vessels ly
ing In tho stream eyedJtho Carniarthaenshlro's
crow onvlously. Jack Shcrmnn quietly sent a
man or two nbonrd tho "llmojulccr" to visit and
Pinugglo In forbidden whisky. By twoa and
tlrrces Captain Brown's crew loft him and wero
hidden about snllortown. Tho Irvington police
wore asked to bring them back, but however hard
they looked for deserters they didn't find any.
Then one dark night tho rest of tho crow van
ished over tho Bldo, to tho last man, nfter knock
ing tho breath out of Captain Brown and tricing
tho nmto up to tho main llfernll. And before the
astonished captain could recover breath enough
to roar for "law" Jack and Peto Shcrmnn had his
men shipped In ono of tho waiting vessels nnd
away. Next day tho captain was waited on by
tho kings, who blandly offered to find him n now
crew nt $30 tho man. He ronrcd again to tho
British consul, to his shipping agents, to tho po
lice who wero sympathetic but helpless. Nobody
could bo found to oven hint that tho kings hnd
any hand in tho affair and tho shipping commis
sioner's records wero clenr. Ho had shipped no
deserters thnt ho know of.
But Captain Brown swore Hint if ho couldn't
got back his men, or get tho dogs or Justlco to
oven bark at tho kings, ho nt least would pay
thorn no blood money for a now crew. So ho
went to another port and brought n new crow to
Irvington by steamer. His bark was hauled out
Into tho stream nnd hor crew kept closo in her
forecastle. That night sho was boarded by
maskod men, who ewept hor new crow over the
bows Into tho stream. Gossip had it that somo
of them wcro drowned. Captain Brown gavo up
and paid tho Sherman boys $7G Instead of ?50
oach for n crew, nnd put to son In a hurry
"They're blecdln' swine, but they're kings of
sallortowu," lie said.
T h n a m o o f
Sherman was never
coupled openly with
tho story of thnt
night tald. but the
kings shipped till
tho eiews from Ir
vington afterward.
No ship went to
sea blmrt-hnndcil However blind tho shipping
commissioner might bo In other ways, he saw
to it thnt -tho shipping luws wero obeyed ns to the
number of men lcquired for typcH nnd tonnngo of
ships. A man might never havo seen tho sen,
but If ho wero not too drunk to say ho was an
able seaman nnd to sign his nnme to the ship's
articles, that settled It. He would probnbly bo nu
ablo seaman or a dead greenhorn before his ship
reached port
This official Insistcnco on tho letter of tho lnw
sometimes caused tho kings to do strnngo tilings.
Toward tho end of tho Benson they wero nt times
hard pushed for ono or two men to 1111 out n
crew. Then did all men in snllortown not In tho
kings' special fuvor hunt cover and stay hid un
til tho Inst ship was out of sight beyond tho bar.
For Jack and Pete wero no respecters of persons.
All men looked nllko to them, and they sent to
sen more than ono who held himself too ncuto to
be trapped Into nn unwilling voyage. Well-educated,
well-dressed and cnmpanlonnbln, tho klngB
mixed with tho' best nnd worst thnt drifted Into
their realms, nnd onco In their clutches no man
csenped from them except by the open sen.
Jimmy Hunter, Ynlo man nnd cowpunchcr,
went down to the waterfront nlono ono day,
agnlnst the advice of the upper town, to eco tho
sights. Ho wns wiso to tho world and hnd a
year's thirst and pay with him. Ho met the kings,
who were glad to see him. JiiBt ono more mnn
was needed for the squat c-rlgger Good Hope, then
lying In tho stream waiting for a crew, with hor
captain, Black, swearing nt Jack and Peto for
delaying him. Tho kings nttended to Hunter's
thirst nnd wero friendly, even confidential. No
secret wns mnde of their trade They told him
stories of shanghaied sallormcn and of crows they
had stolen from ono ship for another. Ho was
much Interested. Jack took him up to tho ship
ping commissioner's to see tho crew of tho Good
Hopo shipped. Ho wns oven asked to and did
sign hlo nnmo onco or twlco "as a witness." A
friend from tho upper town risked a broken head
to warn him. But tho Shcrmnn boys wero nlso
friends at least threo hours old and, anyhow,
he could tnko caro of himself.
At lust ho caught Peto In an attempt to drug
his whisky nnd left tho kings, with n laughing
comment on snllortown wnys. Well outsldo tho
deadline he stopped In n quiet saloon. It wns
Into and ho and tho lonesome bartender had a
nightcap together. When ho camo allvo next
morning he was nt sea In tho Good Hopo and n
beefy English mnto was kicking him In tho ribs.
Of tho months that followed Hunter never
told much. Ho lenrned sailors' work; ho had to.
Ho picked up a scar or two from tho English
mnto's brass knuckles. Also ho acquired a deop
desire to kill the kings of snllortown, Captain
Black nnd tho mnto,
At last ho found himself In tho consul's ofllco
nt Dunkirk, Frnnco, dressed In tho clothes ho hnd
on when ho met tho Shcrmnn boys. For n won
der, thoy had sent them nbonrd with him. llo
was in United States territory ngaiu, and, first
off, ho would square yards with Captain Black.
But tho consular ngont was u Frenchmnn who
would neither spenk English nor understand
Hunter's French unless ho wanted to. Captain
Black lolled lis an ofllco chair and grinned whilo
Hunter told his troubles. When ho had finished,
without n word of comment tho consular agent
eprcnd out two papors, tho ship's articles and nn
"advnnco note." "Ecb theos votro nom?" ho
asked. It wnB. He remembered his signing "as
n witness" nnd wns dumb. After tho
"ndvniico note" nnd n prepostenuiB
slop chest charge had been deducted
from Ms wages, they handed him
the balance, a pitiful little pile of
small silver, and told him to get out.
It was against tho law, of course, but
be didn't know that.

Yiiurn truly,
1 hc friendly faces of Uncle Sam's greenbacks
gave him tv irage. llo made plans nnd acted on
them then and there. Meeting thnt English mnto
In the street, he gave him a most artlstlu boat
ing, paid a fine, and took the next boat for Lon
don town Incidentally, he forgot nil nbout his de
sire to trael six or i-inen thousand miles and kill
tho snlloitown kings What spasm of vlrtuo caused
them to glvo him back his money ho nover know.
They were not noted for doing such things.
That tho kings so continually escaped punish
ment wns sinnll wonder. Tho men Injured nevor
hnd n chance to tell tholr Btorles until they wero
ashore in somo rorelgn land. Consuls In foreign
portB could not libel ships or detnln captains on
their unsupported word. Tho ships' papers wero
always straight, at any rato on tho fnco of them.
Tho most that could bo dono wns to report tho
enso nnd there It ended. Tho Sherman boys on
tho other sldo of tho earth never hoard oven an
echo of It. Tho witnesses against them wore scat
tered over tho seven seas und prosecution could
not touch them.
Tho United Stntes dihtrlct nttornoy nnd his staff
did their best to keep tho Shermans within tho lot
ter, nt least, of tho shipping laws, but they hnd
hard sledding. In ono enso the kings wcro Indicted
Chnrlio Mnrsdcn, tho star witness for tho prosecu
tion, wns locked up In Jail for safekeeping. Chnrlio
Marsdon disappeared. Tho Jailer told n story of
masked men, guns nnd gcncrnl confusion, but could
Identify no ono ns having taken part In tho Jnll
delivery. With tho witneas gono, prosecution halt
ed. Long nftorwnrd Chnrlio Marsdon camo back
nnd told a moving tnlo. Ho hnd been bound,
gagged nnd carried abonrd n ship Just as sho
Bailed. When relcnscd nt sea, ho was told that
ho hod been regularly shipped and wns led a sorry
life aboard. In foreign porta ho appealed In vnln
to consuls, who showed him his name forged, of
course on the ship's articles and laughed at him.
When ho finally worked his way back to Irvington
his story awakened Interest nnd now prosecutions
wero begun. Tho Sherman boys had well-paid
lawyers who dragged out tho cases with adjourn
ments nnd lcgnl tangles. Irvington wns too busy
to bo long excited over tho wrongs of n few sali
ora. Prosecution faltered nnd pnltcred along Its
usual dismal way, and what at last brought tho
Ballortowu kings up with a round turn was tho
united public opinion of Irvington directed against
them.
Irvington suddenly waked up to find itsolf a blot
on tho mnp. Unexplained dead men nro no good
udvertlscinent for nny town; neither nro mystorl
ous disappearances of strangers within its gates to
bo desired, if their frlcndB make n fusfl about them.
Captains who refused to bo held up for extrava
gant blood money, nnd to piny villain nt smnll
profit, nvolded tho port. Business wns falling off.
Uppor Irvington was hit where It lived and tho
Sherman boys wero notified to quit.
Tho kings of snllortown havo abdlcntcd. Steam
vessels mako voyages bo short that "advance
notes" nro no longer prlzos. Seamen's unions
have given a measure of protection oven to deep
water sailors, who seem to havo fower rights nnd
more hnrdshlps than most men. Tho bullying cap
tain, the bucko mate nnd tho boarding master have
nil been singed by tho feeble and tardy Ilro of
United States maritime law, Tho railroads had
their share In tho revolution. But what really
caused tho Sherman boyB to become prlvnto citi
zens waB tho wrath of upper Irvington, When It
was hit In Its pocket and Its splf-ostcom that up
Ect tho kingdom of tho Ballortowu tyrants.
ON HER DIGNITY.
"I Bhould like a drink of water," said tho young
man, politely.
"You'll havo to wait until mother comos down

you to uuduratand that I never go Into tho kitchen."
Not His Fault.
