THE lEONA DISASTER.
Thirteen Lives Lost by Fire on Board .

Thirteen Lives Lost by Fire on Board .
 Mallory Liner.
 New York, May 10.-The Mallory line steamer Leona, which left her pier on Saturday bound for Galveston, put back and has arrived in port with a death list totaling 13. The dead were steerage passengers on the steamer, who succumbed in a terrible struggle during a fire which occurred off the Delaware capes yesterday. Those who lost their lives were psnned up below decks, and, although fran tic efforts were made by the officers of the vessel to save them, the fire had such terrific headway before the dan ger was discovered that all escape was cut off. The steamer carried among her cargo many bales of cotton. It Is not certain how the fire originated, but when 1t was discovered 1t burst forth with such fury that it was impossible to reach the steerage. Even then the stserage passengers apparently were unmindful of the danger, or else the smoke and flames had not reached them. The saloon passengers were first arous- ed and in such manner as to occasion little alarm. When 1t became apparent that the fire had cut off the steerage passengers, the captain and his men poured great quantities of water down the ventilator, and the most frantic ef- forts were made for the escape of those penned up. In this way eight of the steerage passengers made their es- cape.
 The following are the steerage pas sengers who perished: Bridget Sullivan, Mrs. B. Cotrane, Mrs. c. Guzza,' daugh- ter of Mrs. Guzza, Miss Hannah Solo, monson, sister of J. Vlacikek, Sophie Schmalz, Marie Modro and her two chill dren.
 The following of the crew are dead Alfred Hardy, waiter. Al years old. New York; Alfred Lang, waiter. 1s years old, New York, and H. Hart mann, butcher 27 years old, New York.
 The Leona Is a schooner rigged, steel, screw steamer of S,02s tons gross and 2,331 tons net register. She was built In 1889 at Chester, Pa. Her dimensions are length, 314 feet; breadth, 462 feet, and depth of hold, 20.3 feet. She has three decks and six bulkheads. She was last surveyed in September, 1896.

Many Rooms.

Children of God, get up out of your despondency. The Lord never had so many ravens as he has today. Fling your fret and worry to the winds. Sometimes under the vexations of life you feel like my little girl of years, who said under some childish vexation, "Oh, wish could go to heaven and see God and pick fowersp' He will let you go when the right time comes to pick flowers. Until then, whatever you want pray for. I suppose Elijah prayed pret- ty much all the time. Tremendous work behind him, tremendous work before him. God has no spare ravens for idlers or for people who are prayerless. put it in the boldest shape possible, and I am willing to risk my eternity on it. Ask God in the right way for what you want and you shall have it if it is best for you.
 Mrs. Jane Pithey of Chicago, we'll known Christian woman, was left by her husband widow with one half dollar and cottage. She was palsied and had mother 90 years of age to support. The widowed soul every day asked God for all that was needed in the household, and the servant even was astonished at the precision with which God answered the prayers of that wom- an, item by item, item by item. One day, rising from the family altar, the servant said, "You have not asked for coal, and the coal is out.'
 Then they stood and prayed for the coal One hour after that the servant threw open the door and said, ''The coal has come. D A generous man, whose name could give you, had sent-as never before and never since-a supply of coal. Youcannot understand it. I do. Ravensl Ravensl
 My friend, you have a right to argue from precedent that God is going to take care of you. Has he not done it two or three times every day? That is most marvellous. look back and won- der that God has given me food three times a day regularly all my lifetime,

 that you are robbing only one man and that is yourself-of one of the most comforting, beautiful, pathetic and tri- umphant lessons in all the ages. I can tell you who these purveyors were they were ravens. I can tell you who freighted them with provisions-God. I can tell you who launched them God. can tell you who taught them which way to fy-God. I can tell you who told them at what cave to swoop -9od. I can tell you who introduced raven to prophet and prophet to raven God. There is one passage will whisper in your ear, for would not want to utter it aloud. lest some one should drop down under its power, "If any man shall take away from the words of the prophecy of this book, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the Holy City"
 While, then, we watch the ravens feeding Elijah, let the swift dove of Gods spirit sweep down the sky with divine food, and on outspread wing pause at the lip of every soul hungering for comfort.
 On the banks of what rivers have been the great battles of the world? While you are looking over the map of the world to answer that, will tell you that the great conflict today is on the Potomac, on the Hudson, on the Missis- sippi. on the Thames. on the Savannah, on the Rhine, on the Nile, on the Ganges, on the Hoang-Ho. It is a bat tie that has been going on for 5000 years. The troops engaged in it are 1,60O, 900, 900, and those who have fallen by the way are vaster in number than those who march. It is battle for bread.
