Five Hundred Passengers Terribly Fright.

LONDON. June G-Tho Norwegian schooner
Jane Anne coliided in the Channel during the
fog to-day with the steamship Albert Edward.
from Boulognc. The schooner stove n hole 8
feet by 3 in the eanship above her water
line.
There were 800 passengers on the Albert
Edward and before the schooner backed away
they all were on deck and in the widest state
of fright. Men and women rushed for tho
boats and made frantic ATTEMPTS to lower
them. Children We're t-ampleI in the crush.
and fifteen or twenty women tainted.
The Captain and the first and second officers
hurried through the crowd assuring all that
the Steamship was not danger of
sinking. When partial order had been
restored an examination OF the hole in
the ships side showed that her air
tight compartment system had protected
her from all immediate danger. and the vessel
proceeded to Fnlkeston". where she arrived
but one hour behind her regular time. Several
women were 50 i'll from fright that they were
carried ashore and are now under medical
treatment. Four children who We're thrown
down in the rush for the boats received serious
injuries.
The Captain says that the sailors saved the
preservers as soon as they felt the shock and
then started for the rail TO jump overheard.
Had 1t not been for the crews presence Of

have resulted in several deaths. The Jane
Anne lost her jib-hoom in the collision. but

ABOUT YOUR VACATION.

Two friends met upon the street. They had
not seen each other for moro than month.
How badly you look" exclaimed one as he
gazed into the haggard face Of his friend. MY
dear fellow. You need vacation" Vacation"
cried the other. why. have Just como back
from u months vacation"
There is a great truth In this Incident. Too
many people 60 upon vacation with the ex.
pectaton Of securing health. They como back
tagged out. weary. and worse than when they
left. Change is not everything Rest may
mean a loss OF strength. OF vitality. of nerve
force. Vacations may be pleasing. but It Is
often better. whether one goes away or stays
at home. to feed the nerves and brain the
sources from which life itself com es. with some.
thing that can restore the wasted energy, build
UP the vitality. and add greatly to strength.
1t is now admitted universally that there
has been but one modern discovery either in
chemistry or medicine which will do this and
that is the great combination made by Prof
Phelps OF Dartmouth College. known as
Paine's celery compound. In this most won.
derful discovery he has so compounded the
powerful qualities of celery with other valua.
BILE nerve and brain nourishers as to make a
remedy that has done and il doing what was
never accomplished before There are men
Who not long since. faced the possibility Of
having to dispose OF their business and take a.
long rest in order to save their lives. who are
working constantly and are kept In strength.
vitality. and good spirits by this wonderful
discovery. There are women who were weak.
dragged out. miserable. who are now fresh.
rosy and happy. entirely as the result Of this
great compound. Can you afford to neglect SO
great an opportunity for increasing your Vi.
tally. preserving your health. and lengthen.
ing your life1
That such preparation has been found is
acknowledged by the most eminent physicians
and by those who have used 1t with highly
satisfactory results.
