PERILs OF THE SEA.
Two Ocean Liners Escape Destruction by a
Hairsbreadth.

New York. May 16.-The Cunard line
steamship Umbria, which sailed from
this port for Queenstown and Liverpool,
Saturday morning, just missed collis-
ion with the. long ana rakish tea-caIry
ing freighter, Monmouthshire, which ar
rived here Sunday from japanese and
Chinese ports.
1t was an unusually thick fog about
100 miles east of Sandy Hook Saturday
afternoon, that the two steamers drew
near each other. Officers on the bridge
of the Nonmouthshire dimly heard the
fog whistle of the Cnnarder. Whether
the officers of the Umbria heard at the
same time the blasts OF the tea carrier
may not be known until the Cunarder
reports at Queenstown Friday.
1T IS certain that many lives were in
peril for few seconds after the whistle
or each steamship was distinctly heard
by the navigators i'll charge of the otner
The story of the officers of the Mon
mouthshlre was told today. They say
that she was steaming slowly through
tne leaden mist blowing her fog whistle
at minute intervals, when they heard
the Cmbria's fog signals.
IL was difficult even for trained seamen
to tell the direction from which the
sound came in the Jog, and the men on
the Monmouthshire's had to guess the
direction in which the Cunarder lay.
The tea carriers engines were slowed
down. Presently the lofty, wall-lik
sides of the lier loomed out of the mist
almost dead ahead of the Monmouth
shire. The Umbria was heading east
and the Monmouthshire was steering
about southwest. or almost at right
angles to the Cunarder's.
The officer in charge of the tea ship
sigualled to the engineer to reverse and
to go fulFspeed astern. Then he threw
the ships helm over to port. He indi-
Gated by whistles to the commander of
tue Umbria what he had done, and the
Umbria, under the impulse Of the full
power of engines, bounded forward
like deer. Never since the Umbria
cut the stern of the freight steamship
hernia, has she had SO close call.
For a few seconds the steamships lay
parallel. SO close that even in the dense
fog, the officers on the tea carrier could
see the pale faces of the liners passen-
gers as they cleared the port rail. The
Monmouthshire slipped under the Um-
bria's stern and saw plainly on her
eseutcheon the raised letters "Umbria. y
1t is probable that the officers of the
Umbria do not know the name of the
ship that came SO near crashing through
the liners Eortside.

Rev. Matt Hughes in Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis Journal of Monday
says: Wesley NJ. E. church was filed
yesterday morning with an expectant
audience, among whom were many dis
tinguished visitors, to hear the first SER
mon of Rev. Matt S. Hughes in his Min
neapolis pastorate. Special preparations
for the service consisted of extra music
aid plant decoration. The subject of the
PASTORS sermon was "The Old and the
New" The speaker sought to show that
in doctrine ard in truth, as in the ma
terial world and in nature, the new is
bnt the better knowledge, or the later
application of the old; that the religion
of today is but old truth with new ap-
plications, as in science electricity has
been recently greatly developed although
as force it is as OLD as the world.
The coming of Rev. MIR. Hughes was
of Wesley church, who received him yes
terday most enthusiastically and ex-.
pressed the greatest satisfaction in every
characteristic of the man and the SER
vice. The principal features of his pulpit
style as he impressed his audience were
an easy manner, a pleasing voice and
delivery, and thoughtful subject matter.
His eloquence was of the most natural
and simple kind and suited to the sub
ject matter in hand. But the most en-
gaging quality of Mr.. Hughes is his
great social tact and excellent memory
of people. He recognized many persons
yesterday from seeing them but once on
his visit to this city some time ago. In
deed he addressed one mem ber of the
congregation, an elderly gentleman, ny
name wholly from a mention he had
heard of the gentleman at that time.
Among the visitors present were Presi-
dent Cyrus Northrop, Prof.G. j.. Mac
Lean and other members of the Univer-
sity faculty, Bishop Fowler and family,
Gen. George P. Wilson, and members OF
the Hennepin Avenue church.

THE NATIONAL DRINK.
Supposed to be Whiskey or Beer Turns
Out to be Soda.

Mr.. ] ohm GLOW of Boston. the Presi-
dent of great tile manufacturing con-
corn, in conversation with reporter
said:
Let me tell you thing about the
great American beverage. What is the
national beverage? Perhaps you'd say
whiskey, or beer, but you'd be away
wide of the marx. Soda water is what
am talking about, and speak ad-
visedly when call it the great .Aneri-
can beverage, for it has certainly become
the national drink. "In the first place
it is peculiarly American tipple. I
came across one fountain In Venice;
London has three, and, perhaps, in the
rest of Europe there may be dozen.
The amount of capital invested in this
trade all over the United States is enor-
nous, running so far up into the millions
that am afraid to give figures. That
it is lucrative business goes without
saying, for how else could men afford to
pay $4,000 and $4,000 for the huge and
ornate affairs from which the pleasing
soft stuff is drawn.
ga New Orleans man named May told
me that his yearly profits from his foun-
tain were $4,000 One Sanders, De-
troiter, who owns an $S00O fountain, the
finest displayed at the World's Fair does
a crushing business, and his sales run
from $500 to 500 perday, the year round
In buffalo Stoddard Brothers employ 80
girls to handle ice cream soda, and it
'tHHfkes 5000 glasses to accommodate their
trade. They sell it at five cents per
glass, and there is a net profit of just loo
per cent. In Boston, Thompson's Spa,
the greatest soda resort at the Hub,
easily clears for it's owner $50, ,O0O year.
