time that Susan taught school for 4 dollar a

wheh the education Of 4 girl was tolerated to
a certain extent. Why, yes, there was a
time when any girl wishing to learn some

tween the hours Of s and 9 in the morning,

know, or during the vacation perhaps the

For q strong man, In feats of strength.

Herman Oelrichs is abont the strongest of
all the society strong men, while Fred Gob-
hard is q good second. A little persuasion
might induce these two gladlators to pose

might make q competition of It and settle
the vexed question ~ 10 which Is the
stronger. Both are expert boxers and

thing for them to do is to put on the gloves
and show ~swaggerdOm in a pleasant way
what q ring fight looks like. Were the idea
OF this young man carried out 1t is quite
certain that 1t would be the choice act OF
the performance.
When the young swells were preparing
for the Waterbury circus. Fred Beach
posed as the leading pQuestrienne. He had
to sacrifice q beautifully curled mustache
when he donned the tarletan and tights and,
more than that. Put in q month Of prepara-
tory training. Every day ne ~jOurneyed to
the Waterbury place, and when all was
ready for the practicing. a rope was tied
around his waist. The rOpe was fastened
to q bar OF wood which ran out at right
angles from the top of a pole in the center
of the ring. The rope passed through q
pulley, and the other end was firmly held
by three sturdy grooms. An old circus
horse was used, and whenever Mr.. Beach
evinced an inclination to fall off, the grooms
hauled on the rope and kept him swinging
in the air until he stood upon the animals
back again.
Mr.. Beach declares that he will never 90

"WAS DUNRAVEN RIGHT 2"
Is What the London Papers Are Asking
Comments OF the Westminster Gazette.

Comments OF the Westminster Gazette.
LONDON, Sept l1--The Westminster
Gazette publishes Lord Dunrayens
series of letters under the general head;
"Was Dunra ven Right?
1t its comments on the letters, the
Gazette gives prominence to the argu-
ment that Lord Dunrayen well knew
the conditions before starting in the
race These conditions We're the same
for both Defender and NalIyrie, and
the chances of the boats were there
fore equal. When Lord Dunravcn
made up his mind that further racing
was impossible, it asks, ought he not
have communicated the fact to the
committee and to the Defender? To
90 down to the start, to pretend to get
ready and make show of crossing the
line, and then retire, seems like the
act of u school boy in the sullis.
Even if the odds were against Lord
Dunravens winning, he certainly
ought to have made an effort. If he
had been beaten everybody would
have sympathized with him, but now
the fleet is different. Nobody would
then have felt. as he must do up
on calm review OF all the
facts, that the course he took
was hardly consistent with
the honored traditions and the highest
code of sportsmanship. 1t may be true
that yacht racing in America is not as
clean as it might be, but Englishmer
haven't monopoly of sportsmanship
and Lord Dunraven has given oul
American cousins just cause to jcer a
him.

SEVEN LIVES LOST

And Several Other Persons Badly Burned
or Injured i;y Fire on Board the steam
er Iona, On the Trip from Lciih to
London-The Victims So BADLY tharred
as to he Unrecognizabic-Tire Started In
the Lamp Room.
LONDON, Sept. l7-The London &
Edinburgh Steamship Co.'S steamer
lona plying between Leith and Lon
don, caught fire on her trip to Graves
end The fire started in her cabin, and
five women and one child, passengers,
and the stewardess were bu-ned to
death, and a number OF others were
badly burned and otherwise injured
The fire was extinguished by the use
of the ship fire apparatus.
The following particulars of the dis
asters are furnished bv the manager
of the London and Edinburg Steam
ship Co., who, in an interview, made
this statement:
The steamer Iona left Lcith Satur-
lay evening at : o'clock, with 100 sa-
loon passengers and fifty second-class
passengers. The part of the boat in
which the second-class passengers slept
was used as saloon during the day,
and at night it was divided By a
partition into sleeping compartments
for women and men. At 2 o'clock this
Monday morning fire was discovered
in the ladies compartment on the port
side. The flames spread so rapid y
and the clouds of smoke We're so
sitting that the crew were prevented
from rescuing all of the passengers,
being several times driven away from
the burning part of the ship. The fire
was gotten under control about 4
o'clock when the charred bodies of
seven persons were found in their
berths, so badly burned US TO be un.
recognizable.
The cabin, on the starboard side OF
the ship was only slightly injured, the
spread of flames TO that side being
checked by the protecting steel deck.
During the progress OF the ilames the
widest excitement prevailed among
the passengers. The saloon passcn-
gers, men, women and children rushed
on deck, some of them almost naked,
the women screaming and the children
crying, and it was not until the flames
were subdued that they could be paci-
fed.
The Iona is lying in a dock at Wap-
ping, and was inspected by a repre-
sentative of the United Press The
ladies' cabin was completely demol-
ished. Some Of the killed appeared tc
have fallen from their berths in their
efforts to escape, and their bodies were
found lying almost in ashes on the
floor, The fire originated in the lamp
room, which adjoined the cabin.
