FoUn SURVIVORS OF A WRECK
Rescue of n Quartet OF Sailors from

ST. JOHNS, n. F., May 1.-The French
brigantine Amade, Captain Forth. from st.
Malo, arrived at Pierre today, bringing four
survivors of the lost brigantine valiant, which
foundered after striking an iceberg off the
Grand banks on the night of April IA. These
four were the only survivors of the crew of
twenty-onc that left the ship in the life
boat, seventeen having persisted as a result
OF exposure and frostbites. The bodies of
the seventeen dead men were thrown over
board. The four survivors claim to have
kept themselves alive by eating the flesh
and drinking the blood of a dog belonging to
the Drlgantine. This dog. they say. they took
with them when they left the ship. They
were without water, provisions, oars, sails or
proper clothing when they left the brigan-
tine. They say they had only time to jump
from their berths into the lifeboat. and that
no opportunity was offered them to make
even slight provision against cold and star
walton, The seventeen men who died suffered
eXcruciating torments. The survivors seem
to have Jared little bettAr.

"Mogy," the king of the newsboys, was
once more in evidence last night. He was
der hottest ting in der village" to quote
tho verdict of some 800 of his faithful fol-
lowers. At any rate, there were mo flies on
Mogy." Last night was the occasion Of the
spring festival in newsboy circles, or, in
other words, it was the occasion of the regu-
lar treat which "Mogy" is in the habit OF
giving his youthful friends.
The festivities commenced shortly before
1880, when Mogy, arrayed in a Prince Albert
coat and a shiny beaver hat, took his place
in a carriage which was waiting for him at
tho city hall. The advance guard consisted
of the Young Mems Christian Association
band, and following Mogy's chariot came a
double column of newsboys, some 300 in all.
As soon as the procession was formed 1t took
up it's line of march down Farnam street,
stopping en- route to serenade The Bee, and
then after a triumphal journey through the
main thoroughfares stopped at the drug store
Of Charles II. Schaefer, 324 North Sixteenth
street.
Here the boys, through the benefcence of
tho druggist, were supplied with buttonhole
bouquets, treated to soda water ad lib. and
later taken in a body to a restaurant near
by, where ice cream, cake and other things
for which the juvenile appetite hungers were
dealt out.
At the conclusion of the celebration the
boy, gave three cheers for 'Mogy," and also
three more for Mr., Schaefer, and the fes-
t~ivities will go down into history as a warm
time" %,

The combination OF popularity and thor

With the final and decisive unseating of
reluctant winter from the lap of spring
and the growing attractions OF outdoor
pleasures to gentle and simple alike, the
boundary line between society and the
world beyond the pale becomes less dis
tinctly marked and strenuously insisted on,
and all classes stand alike and enjoy some
measure Of equality before the face of
mother nature. This commingling, to be
sure. does away with part of the universally
recognized usefulness of the society page,
but even such a loss, which though severe,
is well known to be but temporary, is more
than counterbalanced by the benefit to
health and spirits which will accrue to all
from a plentiful experience of sunlight and
