LEwEs, Feb. 3.-rhe mystery of tho
identity of the sunken steamer off the
capes, as well as the fate of the crew.
has engaged the attention Of pilots and
other seafaring men here. Up to last
evening no further news of the wreck
or tidlngs of the crew could be obtained,
either from the life station or from in.
coming vessels. That such an accident
could happen SO near land and in such
fair weather and remain such mystery
for three days and nights is apparently
incomprehensible.
The steamer Sylvia, from Shields,
England, arrived at the Breakwater YES.
terday for orders. Her officers report
having discovered on Sunday morning,
several miles off tho coast, one of the
scows which broke adrift from New
York harbor, with four men in her.
Attempts were made to rescue them on
Sunday without success, and one of the
steamers boats was smashed. She laid
by all night, and in the morning the
scow was visible, but the men had prob.
ably been taken off.

nation of an alarming nature regarding

inquiries and examinations to be made
in the orchard of George Derrickson

prolific the past season. Out of two
dozen buds only two had the appear

owns farm on the State road just south
of town, and who is considered an ex.

of his orchard on Saturday proved con

to the growers, as they had looked for

The New York TyT6une's funny man
congratulates the nation that the way
has now been opened, through the gem
erosiiy of rubber shoe manufacturing
company, for the accomplishment of
something absolutely necessary to the
Worlds Fair. That something is n
dedicatory poem. Without this the fair
cannot be a success, for the very sufii-
cient reason that the fair cannot be
opened without a poem. At first it was
suggested that Sir Edwin Arnold be en-
ployed to write one, but this suggestion
was quickly shelved after an examina.
ton OF the census statistics show that
we had at least 100000 native poets, of
whom 90, 900 hail from Indiana, 25 600 are
domiciled in the city of Chicago itself,
and the rest are scattered over the re-
mainder of the country. With the dis
covery of this supply of native talent,
1t became apparent at once that we
could not think of falling back on the
pauper poets of the Old World. 1t was
therefore decided to advertise for sealed
poems from American rhymers, to be
delivered on or before the first day of
September, 1893, at 10 o'clock noon,
each poem to be accompanied by a
guarantee, backed by suitable bond,
that not over 10 per cent of it is plagiar-
lied. But the trouble was not over
There was no fund to draw on for a
prize to the successful competitor. In
this emergency the rubber shoe com
pany stepped nobly into the breach
with cash offer of $4,000
for the best dedicatory poem,
accompanied by an agreement to print
the opening verse of the same on the
soies of all the shoes it will manufacture
for the winter of 1928. This leaves
nothing to be arranged save the compo-
sition of the committee which is to pass
upon the relative merits of the poems to
be submitted. For this duty, the Tribune
suggests, the original San Francisco
vigilance committee should he secured.
ii possible. 1t is also suggested that in
order to further stimulate the American
poets to do their very best, the Chicago
lard and tallow men, the Standard Oil
Company, the New York leather dealers
and other wealthy patrons of high art
might chip in and raise the purse to a
sum commensurate with the occasion
say $4,000 or so.
