STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
One of Them Vanishes in the Darkness
After the Crash.

London, Dec. 21.-The steamer Munster.
conveying the mails and fun compile
ment of passengers from Holyhead to
Kingston, came into collision in the cham
mel at an early hour this morning with an
unknown steamer. The stranger struck
the Munster on the port side, carrying
away her port wheel and vanished in the
darkness. The shock disarranged the
wires on board the Munster, eXtinguishing
her electric lights. There was great con-
sternation among the passengers, and
the confusion was increased by the fact
that the boat was in such total darkness
that the extent of the damage she had sus-
tanned could not be readily ascertained
The Munster was completely disabled and
drifted about in a perilous position for
several hours. Some time after daylight
she was sighted by a vessel, which came
to her assistance and towed her to Holy
head. Several of the passengers and crew
were hurt by flying splinterS, but none
were seriously injured.

were made here and sent to England to
compete with the pauper labor of that
country. Laborers were paid from Sc to

STAGE STARS GET SCARED.
Few of Them Able to Make a Speech
Before the Curtain.

r
As rule actors are not speechmak-
ers. The very people who are always easy
and self-possessed so long as the curtain
| remains up and the footlights interpose
between them and their auditors become
confused, nervous and often positively
awkward whenever they have to appear in
front of the curtain and talk to the audi
ence instead of for it, The change in
their manner and appearance is often al
most inexplicable. The man who can play
the most difficult of parts with effect, and
who can. in conversation with his friends,
talk brilliantly and wittily. is at a disad-
vantage when he stands on the narrow
strip OF boards between the curtain and
the footlights.
