Fists, All hands manned the rail of the scout cruiser Chester at the navy yard today when Thomas Coll one of the ordinary seamen of the ship, was brought aboard under arrest by a detail. Usually when a deserter is brought back to a warship under arrest nearly everyone feels the greatest sj, inpathy for him. and the men of the crew do not hesitate openly to express theirs and also their opinion of the policeman who made the arrest. and the informer who gave the information that led to IL, calling them -blood money suckers." But the return of Coll to the Chester today was the occasion for the greatest joy.

and it was manifested. too. In tact it is said the men would probably have cheered but for the rigid discipline. Everyone on the ship had been most urgently desiring the capture of Coll In fact. nearly the entire crew searched for hint at St Michaels in the Azores.

where he jumped Coll is probably destined for a good many personal lickings at the hands of men of the crew whenever they meet in future years. it. is declared. Coll is officially charged with desertion and theft. He was a passenger front the Azores on the White Star steamship Canonic.

which arrived yesterday. and was one of the passengers from the Azores who were transferred to quarantine for observation. The port physicians promptly gave him up to the naval authoritiestoday, however. upon their request, and he is now in irons in the brig.of the Chester. under close guard, awaiting a general court martial, and, if convicted.

perhaps about live years' Imprisonment. Coll. it seemed, deserted the Chester at St Michaels. He was one of the crew of the ship's launch which went ashore for a liberty party. While waiting at the whrirf Coll seized what seemed to be a desitakle opportunity to get away, and.

jumping from the- wharf. he started on the run for the woods in the rear of the town. and succeeded in hiding there. The men of the crew of the ship devoted every minute of their liberty ashore in the two additional days the ship remelted at the port, voluntarily searching for Coll. Coll.

it is sad, left with about $200 belonging to various members of the crew. Some he had in his custody, it is said, as part of a fund which was beng made up for beat racing and athletic contests. and the balance. it is alleged, he teok for messmates' ditty boxes just before he started out on the launch. He certainly would have fared decidedly ill at the bands of the men if he had been caught at St Michales, all aboard the ship agree.

In fact, yesterday and today, when the arensting par' ty went after him, an officer had charge of it to insure his being subjected to no violence. At the same time. with navy finesse, the arersting party was composed of two tne men who. It is alleged, were victimized oy Coll. one having lost $50.

After the Chester had sailed from St Michaels, Coll continued in hiding in small villages back from St Michaels. When the Canopic called to take aboard passengers for Boston. he went to the wharf ant purchased a steerage ticket for Boston. The consul at St Michaels was on the watch on the wharf. He decided that it might be best not to have Coll arrested at St Michaels, but to let him go aboard the Canopic and have him arrested upon his arrival here.

He did not interfere with Coil's securing a passage. but the instant the Canopic sailed the naval authorities were notified by cable. and all plans were made to give Coll the proper greeting upon his arrival. ON GROWING A MUSTACHE. A Time When Your Friends Get Funny at Your Expense.

Whether or rot raising or attempting to raise a mustache is a crime, aaelony or a misdemeanor, Is very hard to establish, but it is certain that it an offence. It must be, because if it were not there would not be so much comment from your friends and well Like having a toothache, starting a mustache Is Invariably productive of much advice. "Take it off!" It's a safe bet that some one will tell you that the very first time it becomes apparent what you are intending. That Should be said rather sneeringly. The only answer is something as follows: "You guys that can't raise hair on your upper lips are all jealous." "Did you forget to wash your face this morning?" is one that is extremely appropriate to the earliest stages.

It is used very often by some of our best families. Some of them do it quite an-consciously. It is very helpful, because it can be said entirely without thought The best possible comeback Is: No I didn't forget to wash my face. I always wash my face. It's nothing new with me." There are more elaborate ones: Q.

Say. Bill, you must have been awful careless when you were dressing this morning. A. How's that? Q. Don't you know after you brushAd your teeth you accidentally left the toothbrush on your upper lip? (Groans.) Also there is another.

where some bright person comes up and asks: "How do you spell it, with or without the And when you ask "What?" be replies "M(o)ustache." And so on. There cannot really be anything mean or debasing in attempting to raise a hirsute decoration for the upper lip, and some of the men who say "I believe in going clean shaven" ought to wear hair all over their faces as an act of charity to their fellow men. Really some persons would have their looks improved by it. One young man was pestered by well intentioned folks to know why he ever started a mustache. The reason he gave was sufficiently fantastic to make them believe him.

"You know." said ho, "rm going to Spain pretty soon, and over there about the only clean shaven persons are bullfighters. They aren't in the highest grade of society over there, and rather than take chfinces of being mistaken for a bullfighter I'm going to get a mustache on before I York Sun. WESTBORO.

MARION. Sept 29Football plans are well under way at Tabor academy and from the material at hand the footbal, men expect a good team this year. Fred S. Wing has been elected captain of the team and Everett T. Waters la manager.

Plymouth and Hyannis, Is being arranged, I 1 Brookline have taken their controversy with the Boston elevated railway company to the state board of railroad and in a petition flied with the board todaythe town asks that the railway company be required to pay the expense of constructing an Island ataticm and a shelter In Village sq.

From the petition it appears that the town has expended quite a considerable amount in widening toe street at this point in preparation for a relocation of the levated's tracks. which now run through the center of the square. where the Brookline Village transfer station Li Incated. This transfer station has come to be a sourre of great danger to all classes of trardc, in the opinion of the board of selectmen. and in order that persons taking and leaving cars at this point may not have to cross the street to reach the waiting station.

the board hit upon the plan for the island station, with a. track on each side. I.Vhile the elevated is understood to favor the plan. it 'has thus far declined to stand the expense of the change unless the board of selectmen will allow It to in certain streets which are now free. This proposition the sekoctmen declined to accept.

and the matter is, therefore taken to the railroad for adjustment. OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN. Investigation of Those Other Than Teaching to be Made by Women's Educational and Industrial Union. In the annual report of the Women's educational and istdustrial union of Boston. which hasjust been issued.

It was a surprise to the many yachtsmen of South Boston that the severe storm that raged from shortly before midnight until daylight today did comparatively little damage among the yachts as has always resulted from a southwester such as blew last night Not more than half a dozen boats went ashore. and they were not seriously damaged.

The sloop Mistral of the Columbia yacht club, owned by John Carroll, broke from her moorings shortly after midnight and soon was dashing against the raft of the South Boston yacht club. She had been there half an hour when the floating life-saving station responded to the signals and pulled her oft before she had done any further damage to herself or the raft. The big sloop Kalitana owned by Mr Cann of Peach st. broke from her mooringhs eaely in the storm, tended high up on the beach near the head-house and remained there until high tide this afternoon. The motor boat Aleppo, owner unknown, dashed up on the beach near the public landing.

and for 15 minutes dashed against the stone wall, greatly damaging the rail, deckhouse and smashing several windows. The little sail dory Pearl also came ashore near the public landing, stuck in a safe place high and dry and was not damaged. At daylight it was seen that the motor boat Elite, owner unknown was going ashore on the southeast shore of Custle island. Patrolman Ryan of division 12 signaled for the life-savers. and in 35 minutes they responded, but It was too late to prevent the Elite going ashore.

She was but slightly damaged, and was floating this afternoon. Another motor boat, with heavy top-house, went ashore near the public landing, but was rescued by friends of the owners. TIGER A. A. DANCE.

RI H.Whito Company Celebratas 55th Anniversiry of Founding. When a business house has been established 65 year s. and during that period has had a strong hold upon the respect and confidence of thousandb of patrons. It cannot confine the celebration of its birthday annivereary to One day. If the observance were so restricted, many disappointed friends of the house would be unable to get around in time to take part and enjoy the fruits of the liberality of the concern.

The management of the R. IL White Company wisely adopted this reasoning and issued an Invitation to everybody to come in during this week and have an Interest In the celebration of the 55th birthday. For this anniversary of a. week's duration the company has provided a large cake, which was cut, yesterday morning for the drat arrivals. This etke Is not the baker's product.

but was put together by the joint efforts of manufacturers of Europe and Atner. Ica and the 60 buyers who collected the material. Its component parts are nearly every conceivable object that man, woman and children need, and these are made unusually attractive by the exceptionally low prices at which they are offered. Perhaps the most notable feature of this anniversary sale is the character of the goods offered, for all the articles represent the design and fashion of today. In the dry goods and wearing apparel departments.

for example, everything is for fall and winter wear, and the millinery department is stocked with the most approved styles for now and the cold weather that is to come. Nothing was left over from previous seasons, and the major portion of the goods is only a few days (tut of the manufacturers' packing casee. Noveaty is to be observed all over the store. It was possible to provide such up-to. date stock through the cooperation of manufacturers and buyers and the Influence which so large a concern as the R.

H. White company is able tAi exert upon the market. Foreign and American manufacturers were per. suaded, in order to contribute to succems of the R. ii.

White company's birthday. to sacrifice their profits on this one occasion. Thus merchandise was secured at cost, and in some in. stances below the cost of manufactute. Then the unsettled condition.

the low prices for raw materials and favorable market Influences helped out. Those are the reasons why the prices on the tags daring this week are so remarkably low. The way the people flocked to the R. H. White company's store yesterday shows that they understood what a promise of low prices for superior merchandise means.

The floors of the main structure and the annexes were thronged all day, and a stranger could have located the store by the crowds pouring in and out of each doorwty. The throng of yesterday demonstrated that it was wise to give the people a week to make their selections, for if less time had been allowed the company would have had to open several more auxiliary stores to, accommodate patrons. But in spite of the crush it was nor, et what a customer hard to find and te wanted. Every employe made a special effort, and even the bundle boys caught the spirit of the occasion and helped save the time of busy shoppers. R.

H. White, the head of the great business of today. started his first r.tore in Hinsdale In 1853. The "Small Green Chest" it was called. Next in 1862 he was in business on Hanover st, Boston, and in a years time White's was in the present shopping district, on Winter et.

The original Washington-st store was taken Dec 26, 1876. It was at this time considered by many more cautious, more timid merchants, a white fee. pliant. but in less than 10' years, even this large store proved too small for the hustling business, necessitating lin extension to Harrison ay in 1Ss3. Then the first annex, north, was added and opened Sept 23, 1889, and still another annex north.

made in 1895, completing the store to Bedford et. The third an flex In 1899 gave the R. H. White company Its present pretentious home. occupying 538 to 553 on Warhington at.

It all depends what one Is aCcustowed to, whether cats or cabtnet ofli cers, pu fps or Presidents. One day recently as a Pennsylvaniaav car was starting front the capitol, bound uptown, there climbed aboard two senators of national fameAldrich 'end La Follette.

The dozen other passengers glanced up recognized the senators, and then fell again to reading the advertisements or staring out of the windows. At the peace Monument at the foot of the hill Justices Harlan and Brewer of the suprOme court got on. The passengers looked indifferently at them and then each returned to his own particular thoughts. Celebrated supreme court were of no interest. Two blocks up the secretary of the Interior boarded, the car.

Every passenger looked disappointed to find him mere cabinet Meer and not some acquaintance whose company would kill the tedium of the uptown ride. Then the car halted and there embarked an ordinary man of the Smith or Jones lie was carrying a basket. As soon as he set It down there protruded from the rim the restless noses of a couple of month-old puppies.

Traffic in Human Beings. is Widely Carried on in Various Parts of the It is one of the delusions of modern civilization that slavery does not exist. But there are in the world today thou sands of black slaves laboring under the most hideous form of forced labor, which Is only accentuated by the absurd attempts to make them officially free by means of legal documents couched in phraseology the negroes cannot possibly understand.

A typical slave traders' country Is sail to exist in the Portuguese colony on the southwest count of There are immense cocoa plantations In the Portuguese Islands of San Thome and Principe, and to obtain laborers for them there is a group of dealers who make a specialty of providing negroes. These men organize special parties, who exalore the interior of African forests and seize hundreds of unfortunate negroes, who are Immediately driven back to the coast in a manacled condition. Whole families are captured and sold In lots, according to phyeical condition and age. The of the whole traffic is that everything is done on a legal basis. There is a special government agent at Angola, whose duty it is to prevent the exploitation of slaves.

He, of course, will not admit that slavery exists. The system is too perfect. But the negToes think otherwise. Their fate is one of lifelong hard labor, though they are engaged as laborers on the plantation for a certain number of years at what appears to be a reasonable wage. Thim wage.

it is alleged. is never paid. and the "legal shave" knows that he will never get it. At the point of the sword he signs an agreement he cannot read, engaging himself. body and soul to the traders.

Once on the island, he never leaves, for at the end of his period of five or seven years the farce of signing again Is gone through. and so on until he is too old, when he is sent back to his primeval dwelling not a penny the richer for his life of hard labor. It is vary seldom Indeed that any of these slaves live to old age. Five years is generally enough for the strongest constitution. To avoid the paying of wages a system of fines In Introduced by which the worker cannot possibly escape losing his nominal wage.

Floggings are. of course, everyday occurrences, women suffering as well as men. They live In huts when not engaged in the fields. and even If the wretched creatures could escape their guards they would be utterly unable to leave the Island. Thus the geographical position saves the owners thousands of pounds.

King Leopold derives nearly $5.000.000 each year from his Congo property. and most of this huge sum is. according to missionaries and others. made out of the blood and tears of helpless slaves who are forced to bring in so much rubber each month to the Belgian monarch's agents. The same farce of so-called voluntary signing-on is gone through here, and.

of course, a certain price is paid for the rubber, but the dealers are arything but extravagant when treating with natives. Great Britain Is sort of overlord of Zanzibar, but we still have great difficulty in putting down slavery in the sultan's dominions. The latter was educated in England, and to a certain extent sympathizes with British ideas of freedom. But there is the revenue to be considered, and so slavery, slightly disguised. exists in Zanzibar.

Lately the dealers have learned the Portuguese trick of making the negro sign an indenture form. thus binding himself to work for a nominal salary for a certain numlaer of years. The trade is, of course, the most profitable in the world, for good slaves fetch tempting prices. and after the human chattel is disposed of the agent has no further Interest in his career. It costs very little to secure the victims, and, owing to the absence of railway, the slaves are compelled to march to their destination.

Feeding is not a serious item of expenditure; the surrending country will provide enough food fer the -nIggers."

Even then. this means that his profits will probably be quadrupled. so the extra expenditure is Justified.
