grand figures OF the age, unique genius
. giant who knocks at the gates of ths
worlds selfshness and makes them ring
and ring again under his powerful strokes.
He denounoes wealth and rejects culture;
yet he Is read and respected by the rich
aud cultured. Tolstoi is q member Of the
Russian aristocracy, who, having seen
worldly life in all it's phases, has tired Of It,
and he struggles to find meaning in life.
He turns from philosophy which oheate'
him, from human reason which gives hin
no answer, from exact scenes which ar
no longer exact when they touch III
problem OF life, rejects superstition, an,
turns at last to the law of conduct an.
finds his answer in the instinct Of th
masses, who know that the true neaniu;
of life is TO labor. The only science is thu
science of life, the only scientist is the

SEATTLE, W. T., Dec. 25.-The pSopel-
Ter Loft Erickson was burned to the
waters edge at o'clock yesterday even
ing, two miles oil Alkali Point, flve miles
west of this city. The Erieksen piled be-
tween Seattle and Sidney, Mason county,
and was enroute 70 the latter point when
the accident oo0urred. There were 81
people aboard Of the time. The FIRE,
which broke out In the pilot house, spread
instantly throughout the interior cabin.
Captain John Niube, the owner Of the
boat, was in command. He left the
wheel-house for the purpose Of launching
the life-raft, but found passengers trying
10 put the raft overheard. In the strug-
gle to rescue the raft from the passengers
Captain Niube fell overheard with the
raft. Meantime the passengers, putting
on life preseryers and aeizing hre.wood
or anything else that would float, jumped
overheard.
Captain Niube saw his neice, Miss
Annie Tollner, daughter Of Mrs. Bertha
Tollner of Sydney, struggling in the
water about $50 feet from him, and he
did his utmost TO push the raft toward
her, but she drowned less than 100 feet
away from him. He was hampered with
gum boats and almost helpless.
The steamer Skagit Chief, en- route to
Tacoma, saw the burning vessel, crowded
on steam to give assistance, and rescued
seven persons. Tho steamer Mountaineer
saw the burning vessel four miles away
aud headed straight for her. When
within half mile of the Erickson the
officers found people struggling in the
water, lowered small boats and rescued
ID persons. One unknown mon who was
taken from the water died in few min
utes afterward. He said just before he
died that his wife had been lost from the
steamer.

Neither the Skaait Ohief nor the Noun
taineer went to the burning steamer, aB
oil hands had deserted her and she was
enveloped in flames. Both steamers de-
voted every effort 60 saving life from the
water. Survivors speak In great praise
Of the work done by officers, crews aud

Mountaineer. The ENoksen was valued
at $4,000 aud was not insured. She had
light cnrgo. The Mountaineer, with
