FROZEN TO DEATH.
Terrible Loss of Life Off the Newfoundland
Coast,

HALIFAX, N. F., March "A dis
patch from st. Johns, N. F., gives the
details of a shocking disaster in New
foundland by which at least forty
lives were lost. Saturday last 900
men went sealing in boats from Trim
ity bay, and while they were on the
lookout for seals the thermometer fell
to zero and terrific snow storm came
on. The sealers struggled hard for
port, but were unable to cope with the
wind, snow, cold and the angry sea.
They had 10 extra clothing and the
small boats furnished no shelter.
Some were taken far out to sea,
while others were frozen upon the ice
where they were taking seals. Many
died in the boats. Seventeen of the
sealers were rescued by boats which
put out from Trinity Bay to their as
sistance. Those found were exhausted
and in pitiable plight. Some of them
died before they could be brought
ashore. Thirteen bodies were found
frozen in the boats, which were cover
ed with ice and had to be cut out. 1t
is estimated that fully forty men per-
ished. Most of those lost were fathers
of families. The Legislature adjourned
as mark of sympathy.

SOME FASHIONABLE SMUGGLING.

Leading Dressmakers of Chicago in Seri-
Gus Fix.
CHICAGO, March ga horse whip
ping here has led the government in
vestigation into an alleged wholesale
smuggling of imported dress goods.
Yesterday S. G. Wade, young Eng
lishman, soundiy castigated j. A.
Cummings, manager of Kate Reilly's
fashionable dressmaking establish
ment, claiming Cummings had grossly
insulted his wife, who was en-
ployed in the place. He also al
leges that his wife and many other
young women were induced to
leave England by Kate Reilly's rela-
tives, who promised them large
salaries and also induced them to
smuggle large quantity of wraps
and Partisan robes which, Mr.. Wade
claims, was only an object in bringing
them over.
He has laid this information before
the authorities who have visited the
place and secured several robes, which
it is claimed Kate Reilly herself snug
gled to this country. They propose
to make an inventory of all the goods
in the place and seize all that they
have not paid duty on. Mr.. Wade
has given the authorities a
list of the names of the women
who have recently been brought to
America by Kate Reilly, and who he
claims brought over some $500 to $4,000
worth of dresses and wraps without
paying Uncle Sam his fees. Kate
Reilly, or Mrs. Major Griffith, as she
is known in London society, is among
the celebrated dress makers of the
world. In London she is court dress
maker in Piccadilly. Her husband is

saw the queen of England pass by in
her splendid chariot with the faithful
old guard before and behind. And
when it was passed 1 thought of that
uncrowned queen of an American

Oh the royal Christian mother! What
an influence does she WELD! Truly,

But the grandest type of manhood is
the Christian. Couple the Christian
religion with your vocation in life; it
will elevate and ennoble you; it will
make you royal indeed.
