LA SPIEZZIA, Italy, July pa ter
rible accident, resulting in the loss of
14s lives, occurred near the mouth Of
the Gulf of Spezzia. At 1870 a. m. the
steamers Ortigia and Maria P. ran into
each other and the latter YES
sci was so badly damaged that
she sank in a very short time.
The Maria P had on board, in addition
to her crew, ITS passengers, bound
from Naples for the River Plate, by
far the larger part of whom were
emigrants. The night was pitch dark
when the collision occurred and
the scene on board the sinking steamer
almost defies description. Most of the
passengers were asleep in the hunks at
the time, and were awakened by the
crashing of the steamers plates, deck
beams and deck planks. They were
panic-stricken and rushed pell-mell
on deck, where they ran hither and
thither calling upon the saints to save
them.
From the reports of the disaster re-
ceived here, it is impossible o-deter-
mine whether any attempt was made
by the Maria P. to clear away and
launch her sailboats, to attempt
to rescue the passengers, but,
Judging from the accounts given
by the excited survivors, it

DON'T SHORTEN YOUR NAME.
Il 10 Bad Form to sign Formal Letter


There is place in the scheme Of crea-
ton for diminutives in names. That
place is in the bosom Of the family and
among those who are almost as init
mate with one as ones family. But IL
is not pr0per to take the public INTO
ones pet name, and until women real
ize this fact they will not have made
that advance they are continually
claiming.
ELLEN Brown" is q much more dig
nified person than "Nellie Brown
Those who know her well, of course,
know that she is dignifed young
woman, even when she signs her COM
munications, your loving Nellie.'
But the cold, unfeeling world will not
realize it. Could Mrs Lease have be.
come great II her name had been
Mamie instead Of Mary? Would Fran
ces Willard have been at the head Of
the w. c. T. q. had she been known as
Fanny? Fancy j. Ellen Foster posing
as Nellie Foster, or Elizabeth Grannis
welding wide influence as Lizzie
Grannis.
But not only in the public world do
diminutives unfit woman for her
work. but also in the semi-pub bic life
of private individuals. A private won.
an writing to a dressmaker or butcher
should not call herself "Sallie" or Scar
RE but Sarah or Caroline. When a
woman in private life writes for pub
LEGATION or acts as secretary for club
she should exercise the same reserve.
It is seldom that les find fame and
are long remembered. Helen of Troy
was never Nellie to tho public. Pence
lope never allowed anyone but Ulysses
to call her Pen. Annie Hathaway was
Man to few people besides Master
William Shakespeare. Queen Eliza-
beth could never have reigned success
fully as Queen Lizzie, and Joan of Arc
would never have been a great name
in history had she allowed herself to
be generally known as Jennie. st.
