LONDON, June 24.-It would be hard
to describe the feeling that prevails in
regard to the calamity by all the coun-
try through the lose of the battle ship
Victoria and the drowning Of so many Of
her officers and crew. Sorrow for the
dead and sympathy for the relatives and
friends is widespread. In some quarters
indignation is expressed that such an
accident should occur, but, 80 far as
known, there is no foundation for the
feeling. The lack Of details, caused by
the remoteness OF the scene OF disaster,
allows no expression Of definite opiD-
ion. Il is not believed that tho full
story can be obtained until the arrival
at Malta Of the Camperdown or some
other vessel conveying the survivors
from the Victoria.
WAITING FOR NEWS.
Crowds of people remained all night
before the admiralty Office in hopes Of
getting definite information in regard to
the fate OF relatives on board the i'll
fated battleship. At o'clock this
morning q list of those saved was re-
ceived. Later ii was posted on a bulle-
tin board in front of the office. When
the list was read to the crowd, many
touching scenes resulted. Some, over
wrought by the strain OF anxiety, tainted
with joy when the name of loved one
was mentioned among the saved. 9th
ers, overcome with grief when the list
was completed and the missing ones
name was not mentioned, Hwooned and
fell to the ground. Hundreds came in
from the provinces to get earlier news.
Liberal subscriptions are being made
for the relatives of the dead men. The
queen subscribed G100.
THE VICTORIA CUT IN TWO.
A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company from Malta states that the
Victoria was cut in two at the ait bar
bette. Most of those who lost their
lives were drowned by being drawn
under the water by the suction caused
by the sinking of the ship. Vice
Admiral Sir George Tryon was picked
up shortly after the laundering of his
flagship and carried on board the battle
ship Edinburgh. where he died imme-
diately afterwards. The dispatch ves-
sel Surprise is expected to arrive at
Malta tomorrow. She will convey to
Malta the body of Admiral Tryon. The
remainder of the feet are due to arrive
at Malta on Monday.
THE cAMpERDowN's INJURIES.
Rssr-Admiral Albert II. Markham,
who since the death of Vice-Admiral
Tryon, is in command OF the British
Mediterranean squadron, wired the ad-
miralty that the damage sustained by the
Camperdown proves upon examination
less than expected. He adds though
that the vessel is seriously damaged and

CHICAGO, June 24.-There was every
indication this forenoon that the crowd
at the fair today would be ae large, ifnot
larger, than last Saturday. The trains
and boats coming to the park were
crowded from early morning with

influx Of Saturday hAlf-holiday people
from the stores and offices down town
swelled the throng to immense proper

The fact that the great American
Derby, which wac run almost at the
gates of the White city, drew immense
crowds, seemed in no wise to diminish
the attendance at the fair.
The fact that everything Ia complete
in the great Manufactures building was
evidenced today by the official tour of
some 800 distinguished guests under the
lead OF Chief Allison OF that depart
ment. Among those who accompanied
him in the inspection OF the manufac-
lures OF the nations OF the world were
ex-President Harrison, Governor Me-
Kinley OF Ohio, Governor Masthews Of
Indiana, Governor Markham OF Califor-
MIA and the worlds fair officials.
The Haytien building was formally
opened today. Fred Douglass delivered
an oration.
The Ceylon building was thrown open
to the public today, without fOrmality.

rns custom OF osilssslas peter rsass."

The 0astBin OF 0sli6etiAg peter Pence"
Thecustum of collecting Peter pence"
or "Rone SCOT" as it is sometimes
called is Of ancient origin. II the Gus
tom is fairly understood by the outside
world, it consists of setting aside one
day out of each year for taking up col
lection OF money (not necessarily pen-
nies) to be sent to the pope at Rome, who
is supposed to use it in defraying the
expense of the holy see. Chambers
Book of Days and Brands Popular
Antiquities" neither mention the Gus
tom, but | have succeeded in tracing it
back to the twelfth century for GER
tainty. One authority even goes SO far
us TO ascribe its origin to Ina, king Of the
west Sazons, who went to Rome In the
year 72i and founded a hospital for Eng
lish pilgrims to the sacred city, the ex-
penses to be betrayed by leach maybe
adult" giving one small copper coyne
each yeare."
This mighty collection of pennies was
forwarded direct to the pope. Others
claim that the honor of originating the
Peter pence scheme is due to Ethelwulf.
At very early date (the most laborious
research fails to locate these things as
far as the year, month and day are con-
cerned) the copper penny clause was
changed until the tribute was understood
to consist of ''silver penny" to be con-
tributed by every family who possessed
land or cattle of a yearly value Of 30
pence. This probably means upon which
o yearly tax Of 80 pence was levied

1t is related that the first attempt OF

discouraging failure. After he left COL

The Pne.


The pug is sometimes called atoy dog,
but the writer thinks he deserves better
than this, though from lack of training
in any useful employment he has not
developed much intelligence. He be-
longs to the mastiff family, and is some
what allied in the remote past to the
bull dog. He should have a very curly
tail. and be fawn colored, and his face
should be black up to the eyes. The
most famous strain as that known as the
Willoughby." This takes its name
from Lady Willoughby de Eresby.
who somewhere between 1870
and 1850 imported dogs from Hol-
land and Hungary and bred them
in England. A well-bred and WELL
marked pug will bring s1O0 or $206.
Though lacking in sagacity, puge are
very affectionate and playful, and bear
the confinement of the house better
than any other breed. They scamper
over the carpets in their play as freely
as others do over the turf. For these
reasons, and because they have less of
the doglike oGor than any other, and
because of the softness and shortness of
their coats, they are much liked by
ladies and children as pets. A pug
kept in the house should never be over
fed and should be kept out of the
kitchen. Il Harpers' Young People.

Lessons In Home Nursin q.


The home nursing class was instructed
in poltice making the other day and one
OF the first things that were taught was
how to make poultice OF bread and
water, or bread and milk. Sufficient
bread was freed from its crust and then
crumbled into the boiling liquid, and
then beaten together with fork until
the mass was soft and light. When the
poultice was 30 thick that it would not
run it was spread upon piece OF cheese
cloth considerably more than twice the
size of the spot it was to cover. The re-
naming half of the cloth WAS then
folded over it and the edges basted to-
together. Sometimes only folding 10 nee
eesary and again, when poultices have
to be changed quickly and often. 1t
lie an advantage to put the mixture
into bags of cheesecloth and baste
them at enc end. Cheesecloth ie 40 soft
and porous that it is we'll to keep few
yards hid by for poultice cloths. 1t is
also 80 inexpensive that there need be
no scruples against burning it after 1t
has been once used. The poultice oil
haxseed meal is made much like corn
meal mush, stirring the meal into hot
water until it swells and becomes soft.
Elm bark pouiticee are made in the
same way. To prevent the sticking OF Q
poultice to sensitive spote, rub the skin
with sweet oil or vsseline before apply
ing them. In order to keep poultice
hot and soft as long as possible, lay ovel
it a piece of oiled elk or gum tiseue,. ther
a layer of cotton batting. II placed
where it will be apt to clip, fasten thu
whole by band Of some kind. Absorb
ent cotton dipped in hot water anC
squeezed partly dry may be used wher
