Susan B. Anthony

This, the 18th day of February, Is the
seventy-seventh birthday anniversary Of
that venerated and fearless champion
OF woman's rights, Susan b. Anthony.
The occasion has an added interest to
Terre Hauteans, now that gifted
daughter of Terre Haute has become a
member of Miss Anthony's household
and is engaged in the preparation Of her
biography.
So kindly and gracious have become
the sentiments of the people toward
Miss Anthony and the work to which
she has consecrated the best years Of a
noble life, that it is not too much to say
that the anniversaries of her birth in
the years to come will be more general
ly celebrated as the magnitude Of her
splendid achievements for her own sex
becomes better known.
The story of woman's marvellous
progress in all lines Of human endeavor
during the last quarter century cannot
be written without the name of Susan
B. Anthony. Those who do not SYM
patize with her ideas of equal suffrage
for women confess to profound admira-
tion and respect for her dauntless
championship of her sex. Thousands
will send her friendly greetings today
and with them will go the wish that she
may be spared many more years of use

though. that a Republican senator
should be elected at this time, and he
was perfectly willing that any one OF q
dozen good Republicans who might be
named should be chosen. He character
lied the present situation as revolu-

THE DlAMANT DERELlCT
German Tank Steamer Thought to Have
Foundered

BOSTON, Feb. 21.-The German tank
steamer Diamant, Captain Wischausen
and 80 men were probably lost, with all
hands, $50 miles southeast of Halifax on
February II, or else she has been drift
ing at the mercy of the elements ever
since. Such is the opinion of Captain
Forth of the Furness line steamer Cali
lee, which reached this port today from
London. Captain Forth attempted to
tow the Diamant and save her crew, but
the hawser parted and the tank steamer
disapI cared from view so quickly that
it is believed she went down. Captain
Forth says he sighted the steamer Feb
ruary 10 showing signals of distress
having lost her propeller. The steamer
was taken in tow, but the next day she
broke away. This was repeated until
the 18th, when she disappeared al
together.
The Galilee had towed the Diamant
six hundred miles.
Captain Forth cruised around all day
but saw no trace of the steamer, and so
resumed his course. While he believes
the Diamant has foundered, Captain
Forth thinks that the empty tanks may
have kept her atloat, and she is some
where in the track of the European
steamers.

mautled

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb 21.-The eff
fects of the recent heavy storm along the
coast are reported hourly by incoming
vessels. So far the heaviest damage
to any coaster is that to the schooner
Mabel Gray. She left San Diego on
February s, bound to Eureka, and was
caught by the southwest gale q. little to
the southwark of this port. About 4
p. m. yesterday she was sighted from
Point Lobos, and tow boats sent to her
aid. Her damages have been severe, jib
gone to the knightsheads, foremast
down clear to the deck and but ten feet
of her mainmest standing. Her bull
warks and houses were smashed in by
the heavy seas. The damage was done
during a succession of heavy squalls and
the high seas tumbling on deck rendered
it perilous for the sailors to get around.
Before resuming her voyage extensive
repairs will be needed.
