WRECKS of the MASSACHUSETTS COAST by PERCY M CUSHING HEROIC BATTLES OF THE LIFE - SAVING SERVICE VOL. 28. NO. 31. J F YOU run through the history of the United States life saving service, you will find that, with the exception of occasional widely separated years, the coast of Massachusetts lays claim to more disasters than any stretch of seaboard within the scope of beach patrol, Long Island and New Jersey not excepted. This is partly on account of the particularly heavy sea-traffic in the vicinity, but it is chiefly due to Cape Cod. It Is this crooked finger of land that has beckoned a thousand ships to their doom and which in the hollows of its dunes holds many a tragic story of lives snuffed out in desperate grapple with wave and wind. The night of Tuesday, March 11, 1902, was wild and storm-strewn. Running up along the coast, the ocean-gulong tug Sweepstakes was making bad weather with her tow of the two big barges, Wadena and John C. Fitzpatrick. For hours the triple-expansion engines of the tug had been churning her screw in the drift of the captain discovered that she was before daylight her captain discovered that she was before headway. He then decided to lie to and abide by about for an anchorage in the gloom, the barges ran aground on the edge of Shoofel Shoal, off the southern end of Monomoy island, Massachusetts. When daylight came, the crew of the Monomoy life saving station boarded the barges, but finding it impossible to float them on the flood tide, took their crews ashore. It was six days later that the disaster occurred. Wreckers sent from Boston were at work on the barges. The tug Peter Smith was on the ground, having replaced the Sweepstakes. On the night of the 16th the weather thickened and a gale swept in from the sea. The night passed without incident, but early on the morning of the 17th Keeper Eldridge of the Monomoy station received a telephone from the captain of the Smith asking him if everything was all right on the Wadena. This alarmed Eldridge, as he did not know any one had been on the barges all night. He started at once for the ship to island, three miles away, to look over the situation. The Wadena had a mile off shore from the point. She seemed to be riding easily on the bar, but the distress was flying from her rigging. This was a signal Eldridge could not ignore. It was a terrific pull through the breakers that rolled in across the shoals to the Wadena, but the life-savers accomplished it and put their boat under the lee of the barge at about noon. Keeper Eldridge then directed the men to get into the surfboat and told them that he would take them ashore. The rail of the big barge was a dozen feet from the water and it was here that the trouble began. The men on the barge lowered themselves overside on the but as against Olson, a very large man, halfway down he lost and fell on the second thwart of the lifeboat, buckling it, and making it impossible for the rowers to use it. In addition, the boat was crowded and the wind, which had been momentarily increasing, was tumbling huge combs into the windward of the barge. It was into this maistral of breakers that it was necessary for the hand-capped crew of the life-saving station to pull their overloaded boat, and they made a swift and able attempt to accomplish it. At the Instant the starboard carmets were swinging the head of the life-boat to meet the sea, a giant cloat lifted under the quarter and dashed a barrel of water override. That was the signal for a panic among the rescued men that, before it subsided, cost two men. The Portuguese wreckers, in a frenzy of fear, stood up in the boat, rocking it to and fro in their endeavors to escape the momentary innuence of water, and though the life-savers fought to force them into the bottom of the craft, this could not be done before the next shouldering wave caught the bow of the boat, swung her broadside and turned her over. Then ensued a desperate struggle for life. A hundred yards to leeward the breakers were smashing themselves into white foam on the bar. There was just one chance in a million that the boat could be righted before the sea carried her into them. Once she reached them it would be all over. Hampered by the wreckers, the lifesavers fought desperately in those few minutes left before the combers should be reached. Three lifesavers came and strove her heroically to bail her, but each time she was again overturned. They were fighting the last tragic light when they were swept into the smothering foam of the bar. At that instant seven men, including all from the Wadena, went to face their maker. Five of the hardiest of the life-savers still clung to the capsized boat. They were Keeper Eldridge and Surfmen Ellis, Kendrick, Foye and Rogers. By a superhuman effort Kendrick crawled to the bottom of the overturned craft, but the next sea swept him to join the seven who had gone a moment before. Foye was the next. "Good-by, as a smother of foam took him. That left Ellis, Kendrick and Eldridge the keeper, and Eldridge was losing strength. In a brief hull in the wash of the sea, Ellis crawled to the bottom of the boat. Below him, a foot away, was the keeper, since boyhood. At the risk of his own life, Ellis dropped into the water again, pushed Eldridge up the bottom with his last strength, and again crawled out himself. The next second a sea washed both off and the keeper after losing and regaining his THE APPEAL. grasp on the gunwale several times, disappeared in the maelstrom of water. That left Ellis and Rogers, a big and very strong man. In this desperate moment Rogers threw his arms around the other surman's neck in a death-grip. For moments, while the sea battered and the foam strangled them, they fought the last grim fight for life. Ellis to break the grip of his frenzied comrade, Rogers to retain it. Suddenly, when it seemed that both must drown, Rogers strength left him. His arms relaxed; his eyes glazed. "I'm going," he gasped and sank. After the latter died unintentionally of the outer breakers, and for a brief time was in smother water. Ellis once more crawled out on the bottom and succeeded in pulling the centerboard out so that he could hold on to it and better maintain his position. Now, you will remember that at the time of the stranding of the Wadena, the John C. Fitzpatrick, her sister barge had also gone aground. She had gone over the outer bar and was lying between it and the inner breakers. On board her was Capt. Elmer F. May, of Chatham, who was in charge of lightening her. The Fitzpatrick was so far away from the Wadena that Captain Mayo, and two other men who were with him, did not see the life-saving boat go out, nor did they have enacted, until, glancing over the rail, Captain Mayo saw an overturned life-boat with a single man clinging to it. The capsized boat was some distance from the barge, but Mayo did not hesitate. "I'll get that fellow," he announced coolly. On the deck of the Fitzpatrick lay a small twelve-foot dory, the only boat aboard, a totally unfit craft for the furious sea that was thundering across the shoals. Kicking off his boots, Mayo and the other men, who begged him not to go as it would be certain death, ran the dory overside. How the captain of the wrecking crew kept his fragile craft afloat, those who watched him from the Fitzpatrick could now understand that he did not want to be the set of the tide, and the gale carried him down toward the capsized life-boat to which Ellis clung now with the last of his abbling strength. The life-saver said afterward that he saw a dory thrown over the side of the Fitzpatrick that he drifted near her, but that a moment later the scud and the spindrift were driven so thick and ceaselessly before his eyes that he saw nothing, until suddenly out of the mist a tiny, bobbing boat loomed a dozen feet away. Then the occupant of this boat shot her skillfully alongside the swamped life-boat and the exhausted surman toppled into her. Mayo, with the half-conscious life-saver lying limp in the bottom of the dory, had kept his word to and after Fitzpatrick. Necessarily, the most thrilling stories of the coast-watchers are in which loss of life is entailed and therefore, in a measure, they are accounts of the failures of the men of the service. But they are stories of noble failures and behind some of them lie tragedies other than those of death. Perhaps one of the greatest of these is woven about the career of Captain David H. Atkins, until November 30, 1808, keeper of the Peaked Hill Bar station, Cape Cod. This man had followed the sea from boy-hood, whaling, fishing and coasting. In 1872 he became keeper of the Peaked Hill Bar station. Then came a wild day in April, 1879, and, as it appears in the chronicles of the department at Washington, "a blot fell across the record of Keeper Atkins." On this April day the Schooner Sarah J. Fort and sailor sealed the Hill Bar. A terrific, coupled with the hurricane and a temperature very low for the time, faced Atkins and his crew as they discovered the schooner and took their apparatus to the beach. Without hesitation the keeper ordered the surfboat launched, but the sea was so heavy that it was thrown back on the beach. Time and again in the twenty hours of watching and battling with the storm that followed the keeper led his men into the breakers with the boat, but each time they were beaten back, drenched with the winter Defective Page A man is falling down a steep slope.

"And then," says the Service Report of the occurrence, "the last time the launch was attempted the boat was hurled high on the shore, her crew were spilled out like matches from the box and the boat was shattered. And Captain Atkins and his men, having eaten nothing since the evening before, spent, faint, heartbeat, had been baffled and had to endure the indication of seeing a rescue effected by an un-worn volunteer boat brought from the town. The investigation revealed that the wreck night have been properly landed by the life-lines but for Keeper Atkins' failure to employ the Lyle gun which had recently been furnished the station, through a singular inapprehension of its powers." It was a bitter pit for the service—the defeat of its men by a volunteer crew. The night of November 30, 1880, was clear but windy. A heavy gale was piling the surf over the outer bar off the Peaked Hill Bar station. Surfmen Fisher and Kelley left the station at four o'clock to make the eastward and westward patrol. Kelley started from the door first. As he did so he heard the slating of sails and the banging of blocks above the wind. At the westward he saw the lights of a vessel close inshore. Shouting to Fisher to give the alarm, he ran down the beach, burning his Coston light. Keeper Atkins glanced at the surf and ordered out the boat. The men dragged it eastward until the stranded vessel, which proved to be the shoal C. tumbull of Rockport. The crew manned the boat. The story of what took place out there under the darkness on Keeper Atkins' last errand of rescue is best told, perhaps, in the personal account of Isaiah Young, one of the survivors. The narrative of this man, in his own words, is taken from the Life Saving Report of 1881. It reads: "When we launched, the vessel was still some to the eastward. We went off in this manner to take advantage of the tide that was running to the eastward between the bar and the shore. It was low tide. The sea was smooth on the shore, but on the bar, where the vessel lay, it was rough enough to be dangerous. "We hauled up from the boat until the boat lapped on to her quarter. Keeper Atkins called to the shore. "We landed four persons. This trip could not have consumed more than fifteen minutes. "When we pulled up again, after being thrown back, Taylor stood in the bow with the line ready to heave. I cautioned Keeper Atkins to have a care for the boom. He said. Be ready with the boat-hook; I will look out for the boom." I was just taking up the hook when a sea came around the stern, threw the stern of the boat more toward the boom as the vessel rolled to leeward and the boom went into the water. "As the vessel rolled to windward and the boom rose it caught under the cork belt near the stroke rowlock and threw us over, bottom up. "We rolled the boat over, right side up, and I was the first to get into her. Others got in; I am not positive how many. She did not keep right side up more than two minutes when a sea rolled us over again. We got on again and were washed off two or three times before I struck out for the shore. I asked Mayo to strike with me, as I knew him to be an excellent swimmer; but he could not hold out to reach the shore and he went back to the boat. Keeper Atkins was holding by the boat. "Kelley had already struck out. I heard Taylor groan near me as I started, but did not see him. I saw a gap in the beach which must have been Claire Bell Hollow, two miles from Station No. 7. When about three seas from the shore my sight began to fall and soon I could see nothing; but I kept swimming. "I recollect Surman Cole saying, 'For God's sake, Isaiah, is this you?' and of his taking me up. I knew nothing more until I found myself in the station, after being resuscitated. I should think that I remained by the boat half an hour before I struck out. The cork belt was all that enabled me to reach the shore. The cork belt in the boat are a good thing and should be kept on." Thus Keeper Atkins died with his boots on, as he said he would die if necessary, in the performance of his duty. "I recollect Surman Cole saying, 'For God's sake, Isaiah, is this you?' and of his taking me up. I knew nothing more until I found myself in the station, after being resuscitated.

The cork belts in the boat are a good thing and should be kept on." Thus Keeper Atkins died with his boots on, as he said he would die if necessary, in the performance of his duty. TELLS OF VATICAN Magnificent Structures in Rome Covered With Vines. Palace Lies Apart and Distinct From Rest of Rome, Not Removed by isolation, but Through Its Atmosphere. Rome, Italy.—Columnes have been written regarding the personal appearance of the pope, his part in the ceremony of the consistency and the pomp and splendor that surrounds the papal court, yet relatively little is known of his intimate personality. This, in part, may be explained by reason of the ceremony that surrounds the pontiff and by reason of the care that has been taken to guard him from the approach of ill-intentioned plebeians. The Vatican itself is a magnificent old pile whose spires, roofs and gables rise high above an encircling grove of ancient trees that decorate its gardens. The quiet serenity of the vine-covered masonry, the peaceful majesty lent by the hand of ages and the atmosphere that seems to surround the hallowed spot through its long association with the ecclesiastical history, make its imposing architecture the most prominent in Rome. This feature is all the more accentuated after a visit to the ancient Roman amphitheatre and the great aqueducts and mausoleums of the Roman emperors. These, in truth, are imposing, but they contrast sharply with the building of the house the pope and form the face of the Roman Catholic church. The Roman buildings are inanimate and magnificent in their death; while the Vatican is animate and doubly imposing through the soul that lives within. The Vatican, indeed, lies apart and distinct from the rest of the city. It is not removed through its isolation, but through its atmosphere. On the one hand is the magnificent palace of King Victor Emmanuel, busy with the toll of war and feeding the countless avenues that lead to the Ghetto, and on the other is the palace of the pope, vast, silent and imposing, set in an atmosphere of its own and as much apart from the busy city as though it were surrounded by a desert. Of the pope bimonthly, his rites and character, there are a thousand stories current. Plus X, the son of a pope who hated is held everywhere as the Father, and to his pope he always retained those slim manes and customs that marked his noviate as parish priest and teacher of the peasants. Something besides mere anecdote, however, forms the foundation for these stories of simplicity and nobility of character. There is in Rome In the Gardens of the Vatican, St. Peter's in the Distance. at the present day physical proof of the pontifix's former obscurity. This proof lies with his two sisters, Lucrecia and Teresa, unreliable peasant women who have followed the pope from his humble home. Lucrecia, the cook, in particular, is keen and critical in the interest of the pontifix. It was she whom he called from Riese when he was first attacked by the rheumatic gout that occurred during his later career. And it she, assisted by her sister, Teresa, who now supervises the pope's meals and tends him in his illness. Another interesting figure of the pope's household is his brother, Angelo Sarto, a humble postman, who spends what time he may in company with the pontifix and his sisters. It is his brother whom the pope relies for that masculine companionship that is a part of every mortal and the old man. Some and with thick, white hair, alike and yet not alike, are the closest companions. Setting Hens Disturbed. Yonkers, N.

CITY OF BANBURY PASSES Famous Old Place in England is Being Despoiled. Responds Rellos Are Revealed. London.—The glory of Banbury is departing. It is no longer necessary to go to Banbury to eat Banbury cakes; they can be bought in London. The old cross, dear to the old lady "who rode a white horse" and to the inmates of countless nurseries, has been replaced by a modern spirelike erection; but still the pride of Banbury remained, could the old Globe room be seen; and now that is going, and the folk of Banbury are angry because they think it is being despoiled for the gratification of American antique hunters. The old Reindeer inn itself bears the date of 1662 and is full of quaint paneled rooms, with waving, irregular ceilings and unexpected beams, and in its courtyard is the Globe room, which. Old Reindeer Inn. with its beautiful stone mullion window, its panelsled walls and its plastered ceiling, is said to contain the finest Jacobaean work in the country. The date 1637 is carved on the panelling, and it was in this room that Cromwell is recorded as holding a council just before the battle of Edgill. In the process of removing the panelling some interesting "fude" have been made. Many old coins have been picked up, the majority being of copper and belonging to the eighteenth century. But the most striking discovery has been a double barrel pistol hidden away behind the panelling near the fireplace. It is in excellent preservation and between the two barrels runs the Inscription: "Presented to Dick Turpin, at the White Bear Inn, Drury Lake, February 7, 1735," and the maker is given as Baker, London. Banbury has no legend associating it with the famous highwayman, but the genuineness of the relic is taken for granted. MANICURES FOR ANIMALS Departments to Care for Nails and Bills Started at Zoo in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Pa—So as to keep the nails of the animals from the lion to the monkey and the bills of the birds from the eagle to the canary in good shape, a well-equipped manicuring and dental establishment is maintained at the zoological gardens. The department under the supervision of Head Karen Koehler moves its sphere of work from cage to the various houses, as the occasion demands. It is constantly at work. The tools employed by the manicurists in connection with their labor among the creatures differ materially from the dainty utensils used by the blonde Venus of the barber shop, and consist of a hammer, a chisel, often a hatchet and saw, and always a large, rugged file about 14 inches long. A sharp, strong pair of steel wire nippers is also used on the nails of the larger cats. The manicuring establishment at the gardens was organized by Superintendent Carson. Realizing that the animals could not wear off their nails on the boards of the cages as quickly as they could on the rocks of their nails, they made that the claws frequently grow long, turned and penetrated the soft part of the foot, Mr. Carson decided that in order to alleviate the distress caused by ingrowing nails these would have to be clipped. RATTLESNAKE BITES BABY Three Hours After Accident Polson Is Discharged Child Is Dead. Goldendale, Wash.—The three-year-old daughter of W. B. Smith, who resides on Crofton Prairie, ten miles west of this city, was bitten by a rat tainsease in the finger and died just three and one-half hours after the accident. The child stepped into the garden a few feet from the house to get a kitten, and as she attempted to pick up the kitten she was struck by the snake. The mother corded the arm at once and applied such antiseptics as were available. The accident occurred a quarter mile from where Mrs. R. D. Gray was bitten and died as a result about one year ago. Mrs. Gray was bitten on the same finger of the same hand. 21 Words in This Will. Joliet—Daniel Hughes, who died suddenly the other day, leaves what is believed to be the shortest will ever penned.

Regions Through Chamonix and Zermatt Are Very Mountainous, With Snow-Capped Peaks and Dangerous Gorges. Zermatt, Switzerland—The regions between Chamonix and Zermatt are largely of slate and very mountainous, with snow-capped distant heights and fearful gorges, through which turbulent mountain torrents roared. The train runs deep beside steep slopes covered with a wilderness of pines and hazel bushes, and the elder with its gorgeous masses of blood-red berries flaming out from the green depths of the uncleared, ancient forests which sheltier it. Giantic mossy boulders reposed, under the evergreen and it required no effort of the eager fancy to imagine small gray men, clad in the brown garb of their race, seated, musing, on those rocks, in the heart of the mountain solitude. From such scenery we made a steep and slow descent, into the wide, green valley of the Rhone. It lay far beneath us, completely visible during our winding progress downward; fair and broad, with rows of stately Lombardy poplars, fields of waving green asparagus and the soft, bending willows, nestling each to each, along the banks of the sauntering river. From the hills, known as lap, to Zermat, the green canopy more, growing wilder and far more grandly beautiful, it seemed to me, than any landscape we had seen, even in Switzerland. The mountains became walls that shut us away from the rest of the world, until we could feel the very presence of the Soul of Loneliness brooding there. We passed through gorges similar to those among the Rocky mountains and strangely dissimilar to the smoother slopes and green valleys to whom we had grown accustomed in this land. Among some exceedingly wild porthouses, we found those were lonesome-looking, appallingly primitive chalets, or rather wretched hovels, blackened by the weather, and frequently built against some mighty rock, which had rolled down the mountainside and which seen across the gorge, among numerous other rocks of varying bulk, looked like a pebble with a curious barnacle attached to it. The dwellers in these huts appeared as rugged and wild as their environments, with which they must wage warful threats, rest a livelihood from such barren, cruel help wondering, as I recollect their dreary habitations and isolated state, what can be their view of life-contend Typical Swiss Chalet. ing that, as human beings, they possess some glimmerings of the light of hope and faith and charity, some faint occasional promptings of ambition, or blind yearnings toward wider horizons and other worlds. Yet they live in the midst of an awful wilderness, almost in the manner of the cliff dwellers, born and reared and buried on the mountain slopes; in poverty, in solitude, in ignorance; clinging like blind sucklings of a wild beast, to the bosom of their Mother Earth.

Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of optimism. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assayed by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It would leave the individual defenseless in the protection of those rights declared inalienable under the Constitution—Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee. SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1912 NEGROES AND THE CENSUS OF 1910. THE APPEAL received this week. "Negroes and the Census of 1910," by Thomas Jesse Jones, United States Bureau of Education, which bristles with interesting facts. It shows that there are 890,000 farmers in the South owning or renting farms. That farm owners cultivate 15,702,579 acres that they have acquired in less than fifty years. The total land ownership in the United States approximates 20,000,000 acres. The total value of land and buildings on farms owned or rented by Afro-American farmers in the South is almost a billion dollars. Negro farmers and farm laborers of the South cultivate 100,000,000 acres. Negro farms have increased 20 per cent, while the population has increased 10 per cent. Illiteracy decreased from 48 per cent in 1900 to 33.3 per cent in 1910. There has been a marked decrease in the death rate in the last decade. The Afro-American population of the United States increased at the rate of --- ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` M. H.

Kentucky, Tennessee and Maryland have lost in Afro-American population. Georgia contains the largest Negro population, 1,176,987. Virginia has the largest proportion of Afro-American farmers who own their farms, the proportion being 67 per cent. The pamphlet shows many other things concerning the Southern farmers, quite interesting but of less striking importance than the facts mentioned. climb the belfry stairs, he jocularly and sacrilegiously remarked: "I'm going up to meet God." A few moments later the old man lost his footing, his weak hands failed him, he feared thirty feet and sustained injuries that are expected to prove fatal. Does not look like a judgment? There was once an old and ignorant expounder—no pun intended—of the Bible who in a sermon got a little mixed and declared that there were only two roads, one leading to death. One of the things said of Napoleon Bonaparte was that he only needed three hours sleep out of twenty-four. This was thought to be very wonderful. The "Little Corporal" now has a rival for that distinction he enjoyed in the person of one Jefferson Ferrand, of Urbana, Ill., who is now claimed to be the most industrious man in the world. He is employed nights as fireman for the Urbana Electric Light Co. and during the day is employed as ditcher with sewer construction gangs. For several years he has been getting along with only three hours' sleep a day, with the exception of Sunday, when he sleeps ten hours. "Uncle" Joe Cannon showed his colleagues in the Senate Thursday that he still was chuck full of fire and briststone when he fought for the retention in the sundry civil appropriation bill of a Senate amendment: appropriating $300,000 for additional employees in the pension bureau and won, although the chairman, Fitzgerald, tried his best to keep it out by declaring it was a political trick to keep Republicans in office. When the vote was taken 65 Democrats swing over to the Republican side and the amendment was accepted by a vote of 165 to 88. What seems to have been the immediate punishment for the infraction of God's law: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," took place in Galena, Ill., this week. As Thomas Johnson, the aged Afro-American sexton of the South Presbyterian church of that city, started to THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF NEW YORK Renominated for Vice President by Rebouliana at Chicago—Great Friend of Afro-American People. climb the belfry stairs, he jocularly, and sacrilligeously remarked: "I'm going up to meet God." A few moments later the old man lost his foot, his weak hands failed him, he fell thirty feet and sustained injuries that are expected to prove fatal. Does it not look like a judgment? There was once an old and ignorant expounder—no pun intended—of the Bible who in a sermon got a little mixed and declared that there were only two roads, one leading to death and destruction and the other to hell and damnation. An interested listener was so struck by the statement that he remarked, "Then, in that case, I'm going to stand still, right where I am." This is about the position of the Afro-American in the coming election. To follow Roosevelt's road will lead to death and destruction, and to follow Wilson's road will certainly lead to hell and damnation. So the wise ones will stay right where they are and support President Taft, their best friend. A very romantic wedding took place in Marshalltown, Iowa, this week, when George M. Minkler, aged 77, and Mrs. Huldah A. Davis, aged 75, both inmates of the Soldiers' Home, were united in wedlock. The groom had been married four times and the bride three. They took a six months' "furlough" immediately after the wedding. Evidently they do not believe marriage is a failure. One often reads of the failures of would-be suicides to accomplish their desires. That there need not be any failures that has been demonstrated by a young woman in Paris, France, who jumped from the tombost to the second platform of the Eiffel tower, a distance of 525 feet, and was crushed beyond all recognition. A strenuous effort was made at the Democratic National convention to have a plank inserted in the platform disfranchising the Afro-Americans, and yet there will be some boneheads who will vote the Democratic ticket at the coming election. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Baby Finger Prints System Favored Good Showing Made by Enlisted Men Live Frog in Stomach Nearly a Year PRAYING WASHINGTON—The chief industry today of the town of Bethlehem in Palestine is the manufacture of articles of religious devotion and ornaments from mother-of-pearl, according to the report of the American consul there. The methods and tools used are mostly quite primitive in character, as are also the buildings in which the workmen carry on their trade. The principal products are carved shells on which religious scenes are depicted, beads and rosaries. The material known as "pearl waste," from which the two latter products are made, is very largely imported from the United States, and the American market also is the largest purchaser of these goods. The large carved shells are sold mostly to tourists in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and since the demand for them is not so good as for beads and a higher grade of workmanship is required to produce them, this side of the industry is losing ground to the manufacture of beads. A bead workman's outfit is primitive, consisting of files, borers and a simple wooden device for holding the irregularly shaded pieces of pearl If an increase in the number of abandoned infants in the city should occur, it is more than likely that there will be adopted by the district authorities a system of finger print identification of all infants born in public institutions. Such a system is now in use in New York, and other cities are contemplating its adoption. The results have proved encouraging. The system has the indorsement of Dr. William C. Woodward, district health officer, and George S. Wilson, secretary of the board of charities. The only thing which stands in the path of the adoption of the finger print identification system in the national capital is the small number of cases of abandoned children. It is hardly believed that the number would justify the introduction of the scheme, which would entail the expenditure of a rather large amount of money. "The plan is an excellent one," said Dr. Woodward. "It has been given an extensive trial in New York city. Reports of the experiment as made public in recent numbers of certain magazines show that the system is a success." "I am heartily in favor of the fingerprint system," said Mr. Wilson, "but I do not think that the small number of abandonment cases in the city justifies the adoption of the system. I have been giving much consideration lately THEATRE MISS DEM SAILOR GUYS ANT LIKE DEY MUSTER WAS DE COUNTRY ISS COIN' TER DE BOW WOWS If there is one thing that wins the heart of a layman who is accorded the privilege of shipping on board a United States navy vessel, says a writer in Lesil's, it is the showing made by the enlisted man. He is the lad who stands by his officers in the conning tower, below the water line in the torpedo room, at the highest point of the fire control mast, or in the depths of the sweltering fire rooms. The intricate modern warship sounded the death knell of idleness and ignorance. A man to be of use in the navy today must be ambitious, intelligent and trustworthy in every sense. One who has not those qualifications soon learns that he must "buck up" if he is to be part of the great machine of which we are so proud. No factor has contributed more to the marvellous evolution of the navy A LIVE frog that crawled and clawed and croaked, lived for nearly a year in the stomach of Mrs. L. V. King of Dean Wood, a suburb of Washington. After clawing away at the lining of the woman's stomach until it was raw with pain, almost strangling her as it climbed into her throat, and fairly reducing her to a living skeleton it was finally extricated by physicians of the Emergency hospital. They used a large pump. The frog is now preserved in alcohol. It is a weak, colorless, wrinkled, shapeless specimen which bears a faint resemblance to the normal frog. Its legs are long and scrawny and thin as toothpicks. It measures, all told, about seven inches. Just as it was breaking out of the egg, the tadpole was swallowed by Mrs. King in well water last August. Weeks passed before the woman realized there was some living animal in her stomach. She consulted doctors, but they laughed at her. Last spring the frog, now reaching to its full growth, began to climb into her throat and nearly suffocated her. It clawed away at the membrane un Man's Limitations Defined. No man, however good he may be, understands girls; neither does he understand women—Exchange. waste. This last is made of a short, round piece of wood sawed in half lengthwise, fastened together at one end and encircled by a loose iron ring. The piece of pearl shell is placed between the loose wooden ends and the ring is hammered toward it until the grip is tight. The workman then files the part of shell which extends to the desired diameter; it is reversed in the holder, and finally a rounded piece of perhaps one to three inches in length is secured. When a number of these pieces have been prepared they are cut to bead size, a hole is bored in each bead and it is rounded to the desired shape. Then to give the beads a smooth surface they are placed in special crockery vessels with a little water and are kept in motion in these vessels, rubbing against the sides and each other until they are smoothed, but not polished. To give them a gloss and sheen, they are finally placed in boiling water, to which a weak solution of nitrite or muriatic acid is added, and when removed from this they are passed through a succession of cooling waters. There are three usual shapes—those flat on two sides, round and oval. These beads are strung on cords, silk or wire, and always on the latter in the case of rosaries. For these last also crosses and hearts are made of mother-of-pearl, with a small metal figure attached to the cross. Silver crosses and hearts are used to a slight extent. BABY FINGER PRINT SYSTEM TO STOP ABANDONME! THEY WON'T DARE ABANDON US NOW to the subject of child abandonment, and I have learned that during the past four or five years there have been no more than five or six abandonments in any year." The plan is to take impressions of the fingers of all infants born in public institutions, especially in charity cases, from which issue most of the abandonments. These finger prints are filed on cards, together with minute descriptions of the mothers of the infants. If after leaving the hospital an infant is abandoned, a finger print is immediately taken and the files are searched for the corresponding print. If the finger print is identified, the description of the mother is given to the police, who starts hot upon her trail. The finger-print files are kept in some central place, the various hospitals sending in cards for every infant born. It has been clearly demonstrated that the print taken of a child's finger is sufficiently distinct to make out the lines easily with the aid of an ordinary magnifying glass. than the manner in which this particular man has bucked up and within a comparatively brief period changed the personnel of the sailors to as fine as that of any in the world. Here is an example worth repeating. Six years ago an officer, who is now on board the cruiser Washington, was in charge of a liberty party of 250 men in New York who had shore leave for twenty-four hours. At the expiration of that time less than half of them were in a fit condition to return to the ship. They had gotten themselves into all sorts of trouble. Last summer the same officer took an equal number of men ashore at New York. It was a liberty party in exactly the conditions of the previous one. But it served to illustrate what a change had taken place in the navy in these comparatively few years. Every man returned to the landing at the appointed time. Instead of passing their time brawling, as had been the fashion in the time before, it was ascertained that these men had attended theaters and gone to the museums—in short had seen the city in the way any ordinary red-blooded citizen might who had that interval to spend in New York. til she several times fainted with pain. Still the doctors, when she told them of her fears, laughed. Two months ago Mrs. King declares the frog began to croak. She distinctly heard it many times and her relatives bear her out. That determined her to leave the physicians of Dean Wood severely alone and consult "city doctors." She did so. She went to the Emergency hospital and the frog was pumped out of its hiding place. The frog lived ten minutes in a tub of water. It croaked and sang just like any regular frog. Then it died. According to the physicians this is the first time on record that any animal of the proportions of a frog has ever lived in a human stomach at least for the period of eleven months. It is a most remarkable case. Lace Workers of Smyrna. Girls and women of Smyrna make great quantities of lace. The work is mostly done in their own homes. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall.

IMPRESSION OF NOTED ABBEY Irving Calla Sepulchers in Westminster Nothing but a Treasury of Humiliation. London—The last beams of the day were now faintly streaming through the painted windows in the high vaults above me; the lower parts of the abbey were already wrapped in the obscurity of twilight. The chapel and alses grew darker and darker. The engines of the kings faded into shadows; the marble figures of the monuments assumed strange shapes in the uncertain light; the evening breeze crept through the alses like the cold breath of the grave; and even the distant footfall of a verger, traversing the poets' corner, had something strange and dreary in its sound. I endeavored to form some arrangement in my mind of the objects I had been contemplating, but found they were already fallen into indistinctness and confusion. Names, inscrin- LONDON Westminster Abbey tions, trophies, had all become confounded in my recollection, though I had scarcely taken my foot off the threshold. What, thought I, is this vast assemblage of sepulchers but a treasury of humiliation, a huge pile of reiterated homilies on the emptiness of renown and the certainty of oblivion! It is indeed the empire of Death his great shadowy palace, where he sits in state, mocking at the relics of human glory and spreading dust and forgetfulness on the monuments of princes. How idle a boast, after all, is the immortality of a name! Time is ever silently turning over his pages; we are too much engrossed by the story of the present to think of the characters and anecdotes that gave interest to the past; and each age is a volume thrown aside to be speedily forgotten. The idol of today pusheshe herofriday out of our recollection: and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow. "Our fathers," says Sir Thomas Browne, "find their graves in our short memories and sadly tell us how we may be buried in our survivors."—"Westminster Abbey." STEERS CAPTIVES FOR YEARS Large Herd Grows From a Few Animale Which Fell Into a Deep Ravine Long Ago. Meeker, Colo.—By risking their lives a company of Uncle Sam's regulars has rescued a large herd of Texas long horn mavericks from the bottom of a deep ravine. A number of years ago a large bunch of cattle was turned on the range. A stampede occurred, and hundreds of the animals fell over from a precipice. The first ones were killed, but the remainder, alighting on the carcasses of their companions, survived. And there they stayed, their existence unknown to the cowmen, who supposed that they had all been killed. The survivors increased, growing large and becoming wild. The war department finally detailed the soldiers to get them out. The rescue was thrilling. The huge beasts, proved more than a match for the soldiers' horses in speed and charged their rescuers. They overturned many horses and attacked the riders. SNAKE KILLS HER TWO SONS While Mother Goes to Rescue of Children Baby Falls in Tub and Drowns. Raleigh, N. C.—The attention of Mrs. George Adams, living in Pitt county, was attracted by the cackling of a hen, and she sent her 8-year-old son to the barn to drive the hen from the nest. A scream from the lad that the hen had pecked him caused the mother to send her younger son to ascertain the cause, and a similar outburst from him led the mother to investigate. She found that both boys had been bitten by a rattlesnake that was colled in the nest. Hurrying with her little ones to the house, she found that her babe had fallen into a tub and drowned. The boys, lacking medical attention, soon died in agony. The three children will be buried in the same grave. Champlon Busy Man. Bloomington, Ill.-Jefferson Ferrand of Urbana has the distinction of being the most industrious man in the world.

Evans, Colo.—A conductor on a freight train saved the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Maxwell from serious injury when he leaned out from his caboose and caught the child from the bed of a wagon the team of which had run away directly alongside the tracks. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell had been thrown out and badly injured when the team first started to run. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.
