wLKIE COLLINS STRICKEN DOWN
By BRONCHITIS. ~

The Famous English Writer Dies ut His
Homo In London-Brief Sketch of tho
Life OF the Author OF "The Woman I'm
White"
A London dispatch says: Wilkie Collins,
the famous novelist, died Monday morning
At midnight friend who had been at the
house brought news that the end was near.
Mr.. Collins had been ailing for some time
and finally succumbed to an attack Of
bronchitis.
The great novelist who has just died was
the most cherished friend OF Charles
Dickens, to whom he was related by mar
riage Collins was born in London in
January, 1924, and was the son of a cele-
brated painter. After completing his
school education he went on a trip to
Italy with his parents He was articled
for four years TO a tea merchant, but soon
tired of commercial life and entered Lin
coins Inn as student of law. While
there he began literary work. His first
ambitious production was a biography of
his father, published in 1S48. From this
time he devoted himself entirely to litera-
ture: His principal stories are: "An-
tonina, I" "After Dark. )" "Dead Secret, !"
"Woman in White" 'No Name" "Moon-
stone, " and "New Magdalen." Mr.. Collins
which the "Frozen Deep is probably the
best known.
Other stories written by Mr.. Collins
have been almost as successful as those
mentioned. Among them are "Arma-
dale" Man and Wife," and ''Poor Miss
Finch.' Most of them contain deep and
intricate plots, the interest being centered
upon this feature rather than upon the
strength of the characters themselves
Publishers were always eager to secure his
works. Mr.. Collins made from $3.50, 600
to 5000, 600 by his pen. and by shrewd
investment of the money became COM
paratively wealthy man.
Wilkie Collins was of genial and affa-
this country on the occasion of his visit
here some twelve or fifteen years ago. He
was tireless worker, and though his
novels were numerous they were written
with the utmost care.

In other respects naval models are followed

that the English Government takes a

and the Majestic. sister ship. are the first

ment Is watched with great interest by
other nations. especially Franco and Italy.
The Teutonic has n length OF $50 feet, be-
Ing the longest craft anoat. This may not
convey much OF an idea OF her length to
shore-Roing people. but IL will strike sailors
us something little remarkable. IL will

SERIOUS CHURCH SQUABBLE.
Two Factions Accuse Each other of Set
fin.r Fire In the Church RmiIding.

Two Factions Accuse Each other of Set
ting Fire to the Church Building.
At Red Lake Falls, Mimi, st.
.Joseph's Catholic church was discovered
to he on fire last night at midnight, and
before the flames were gotten under con-
troll the church and its contents were to-
tally destroyed. The fire is the sequel
to an intensely bitter fight which has
been raging between the French and
German Catholics Of Polk county for six
months. The fire was incendary, as the
man first on the scene claim they saw a
three gallon can OF oil underneath the
altar. Catholics here are much affected
over the occurrence. Each faction claims
the other is guilty of the crime Rev.
Father Marcel, who was at first suspected
by his enemies, was at the West Side for
three hours previous to and at the time of
the fire, and so could not have taken any
personal part in the affair. A feeling OF
depression pervades the whole Catholic
community on account of it. Bishop
Ireland is severely censured for not giving
prompt attention to the troubles here.

THE OLD NAVY AND THE NEW.
A Contrast That Shows Greatly to the
Latter's Advantage.

n COHtEdSb Ahbb SuOWb OTedtiy thO
Latter's Advantage.
An effective contrast, we'll illustrating the
difference between the old navy and the
new, is presented by the fact that while
the Baltimore was getting ready for a
trial run that developed her maximum of
20 1-5 knots, the Iroquois, which had been
under repairs at Mare island also had a
trial trip and made an average of
7 1920 knots and maximum OF
little over knots with a favoring
tide. The Iroquois was one of the
vessels we were relying upon for over
awing the Germans at Apia and a'terward
for sanding up to Behring sea to help the
Rush to chase the sealers and to frighten
the 16-knot armor clad Swiitsure and her
companions. We can afford to he amnssd
now at the relics of the old feet like the
Iroquois, when at San Francisco is found
the Charleston with her average OF IL 2-D
knots and a maximum of 1871 knots made
on her trial trip.
The gunboat Fetrel, which failed at first
to develop the horsepower required,
l,100, is believed to be capable Of that
power now, and it is probable that she
will be accepted by the department. Her
builders, however, will have to pay s., 100

Gen. Casey to instruct Capt. Marshall, the

JOHNSTOWN'S DEATH LIST.

According to the Issue of the New Di-

Johnstown (Pa.) dispatch: The new
directory of Johnstown has just been pub

the time of the food the whole edition,
which was in book bindery here, was lost.
From the proof sheets, however, the names
were obtained, and are now printed as
they were before the food, as well as a
special record of those that were lost. The
number of deceased is put at $500, and
that is considered close estimate, it being
impossible to obtain the exact figures.
