The Royal Hotel and sheds here were OCEAN SPFf!TIPS
burned to the ground at three o'clock
Saturday morning. The hotel has been
closed since last spring, when local
option went into effect. The hotel is
owned by J. C. Johnston, who now lives
at Saskatoon, Sask. The fire was well
under way when first noticed, and if it
had not been for the heavy downpour
of rain early Friday evening, and the
wind being favorable, the entire village
north of the river would have been
swept. A large number turned out and
carried water, and by hard fighting saved
the blacksmith shop owned by Frank
Scott, which is close to the hotel sheds.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
buildings carried insurance for $1,200.

Phantom Craft That Are Said to
Haunt the High Seas.
A CURIOUS ENGLISH RECORD.
The Loi of the Warship Bacchante
Under Date of July 11, 1831, Bears
the Entry, "Flying Dutchmen Cross-
ed Our Bows"—The Goblin Ship.
'I'llel'e are 11(1n1er•ous legends and sto-
ries of ghostly vessels that roam .tha
briny deep, and many Hard headed
mothers, free from the common su-
perstition of the ordinary sailorman,
stoutly maintain that they havo at
least once in their maritime career en-
countered wuat was undoubtedly a
phantom ship.
Best known of those mysterious
craft that haunt the high seas is, of
course, the famous Flying Dutehman,
or phantom ship of \'anderdee1 en.
[low the story originated is doubtful,
but It has been ascertained that there
was a seaman of repute who many
years ago sailed from Holland to the
east via the Cape of Good Elope, but
was never again heard of.
Some authorities say that, meeting
with contrary winds off the cape, be
swore a terrible oath, in consequence
of which the divine wrath decreed
that he should he occupied till the
crack of doom in endeavoring to
weather the headland. Others state
that this punishment was meted out
to him in retribution for a terrible
murder he committed before commenc-
ing his fateful voyage.
Whatever the cause of this ancient
gentleman's monotonous wandering
may be, it Is probably in connection
with him that the most authentic and
cold blooded record of any phantom ex-
ists either afloat or ashore, for it is
stated that in the log of H. M. S. Bac-
chante while on a voyage round the
world with the little princes in 1881
there appears on July 11 the entry,
"Flying Dutchman crossed our bows."
The log book of one of the then largest
of her majesty's warships is certainly
the very last place to expect to find
that which is generally associated with
the hysterical of either sex.
During January, 1G47, a vessel left
New Haven, Conn., on her maiden voy-
age, but was never again heard of. In
the following June, just before the
hour of sunset and after a severe
thunderstorm, the missing ship was
seen sailing up the river. The inhabit-
ants, taking their evening stroll, were
overjoyed at her return, but the most
observant of them noticed that there
wag something uncanny about her, es-
pecially in that she appeared to be
sailing up against the wind.
Theu, to the consternation of all, she
gradually faded away before their eyes
and entireley disappeared. We may be
assured that there were not wanting
those who maintained that the vessel
In spirit had paid a last visit to her
port before resting for good on the
ocean bed.
' In the "Chronicles of the St. Law-
rence," by Le Maine, it is recorded that
on a certain day in the year a phantom
ship is seen off Cap d'Espoir, in Gospe
bay. Lights are seen aboard her, and
her decks are crowded with men. By
the foot of the bowsprit n man is con-
spicuously standing and facing toward
the shore, with a lady clinging to bis
arm. Gradually the lights go out and
the vessel sinks. It is said to be the
ghost of the flagship of a fleet which
was sent out to reduce the French
forts, the vessel being lost with all
bands.
To come to British waters, there are
numerous instances related in local
history of the visitations of ghostly
vessels, the west of Euglnnd, as might
be expected, being most prolific in
these records. say's a writer in the Lon-
don Globe. In(1ev1, Cornwall boasts of
a goblin ship probably unique the
world over, as she not only sails the
water, but proceeds most unconcerned
a good distance inland.
This is the specter ship of Porthcur,
Do, and in Robert II11nt's book on "Ro-
mances of the West of England" are re-
lated the experiences of a local iuhab-
itaui. who witnessed Ole or her esca-
pades. She is described as n black
square rigged single nms.ted vessel,
sotuetimes t.;tl ing a small boat. No
crew are ever soon: presumably they
are down below. The personal narra-
tive goes on to say:
"On came the ''raft. It passed stead-
ily through the brenhers, glided tip
over the sands, steadily pursued its
course 011 the dry land as if it had been
water. 011 it wwrnt to Bodelan, where
St. Leven formerly dwelt. It then
steered its course to Chy-gwiden and
there vanished like smoke."

Toronto, Sept. 2 - At the Union Stock
Yards to -day the run was particularly
heavy, and the grade of cattle the best
for some time.
One load of cattle, said to be the
best received at the yards in three
years, was bought by the Harris Ab-
attoir Company at the high price of
$7.20 per cwt.
Butcher cattle were plentiful and well
sold; stockers went at $3.50 to $5.01.
The day's run had 156 cars and 3,105
cattle, 1,361 sheep and lambs, 495 hogs,
and 213 calves were received.

Two Cent Stamps on Murals.
Some misunderstanding has arisen in
the rural districts over the postal rates
for rural delivery. Many people who
are mailing letters for these routes are
under the impression that the rate
for letters to be delivered on them is
the ordinary city rate of one cent per
ounce, and in the towns are putting
only that amount of postage on the let-
ters of those who are included in the
rural service. Postmaster Kay told The
Herald a lot of trouble had been caused
by this too common error. As a result
the postal authorities have been com-
pelled to send out circulars to be dis-
tributed in the post -offices throughout
the Province. The rates for the rural
delivery are the same as those for or-
dinary mailing. That rate is two cents
per ounce or fraction thereof. The
only letters that are carried at the one -
cent rate are the drop letters, which
are for delivery at the same office
where they are posted.—Stratford
Herald.
Not on You Life.
The conversation :ed to surgical oper-
ations the other day, and Congressman
John H. Small, of North Carilna, told
of a southern biacksm'th.
The blacksmith who was long on the
wisdom of his trade, but short on medi-
cal lore, according to the congressman,
sprained his wrist one afternoon and
lost no time in hustling to the office of
a physician.
The doctor examined the wrist and
then took a small bottle from a shelf,
but found it empty.
"Tames", said he, turning to an as-
sistant, "go upstairs and bring me
down a couple of phials."
"What's that?" exclaimed the patient
suddenly showing large signs of emotion.
"1 was merely asking my assistan t
to bring me down a couple of phials
from apstairs," answered the doctors.
"Files!" cried the blacksmith, with a
look of determination. "No, you don't
doc! If that hand has got to come off
you will use an axe or a saw."
Treating a Flesh Wound.
The liquid preparations of collodion
used to paint a skin over cuts and
scratches are, says Rural New °Yoker,
very useful, especially for healing a
hangnail, but they are not always ad-
visable. One of our friends scraped
the skin off her elbow in a fall, which
caused a bad bruise. The place was
painted over with one of these sub-
stances, giving an impervious surface.
The injury began to suppurate, and as
there was no opportunity for free dis-
ellarg', a very painful condition re-
sulted, causing a septic infection that
induced great pain, and needed skilled
metli'•ai attention. The doctor asserted
that the inpervious covering of the
wound was the chief cause of the
