HALIFAX, n. s., July 6.-In one of the thick fogs
which at this time of year hang like pail the Grand
Banks and Sable island in the North Atlantic occurred
the early morning of July of the appalling
disasters in the annals of transatlantic commerce.
and in fact in history.
Without moments warming the French liner La
Bourgogne with 725 souls board, down by the
iron sailing ship Cromar tyshire, and sank within half
hour carrying with her to the oceans bottom 500 of
her passengers and crew. while the balance who
drowned by the fearful suction struggled and fought for
life until 1913 at length rescued by the of the
Cromartyshire which ship survived the collision.
Story of Horror Unparalleled.
The story of the fearful destruction from the few Off
and members Of the who saved is yet
be told but if the words of the passengers who were
dragged aboard the and later brought into
this port by the steamer Grecan to be believed the
last few minutes board La Bourgogne witnessed some
of the terrible Of horror and cruelty that
have blotted the history of a civilized race.
Instead of the heroic discipline which often has
been bright feature of such awful moments the
of the steamer fought like demons for the few life
and rafts batterng the helpless passengers away
from their only of salvation with the result that
strong the weak for the list of 163 saved
out of the wreck bears the name of but one woman.
The disaster occurred at o'clock in the morning OF
Monday July about sixty miles south of Sable island
gogne had left New York bound for Havre the pre-
vious Saturday. while the Cromaryshire was on its way
over from Glasgow with u crew of twenty-one men.
La Bourgogne Was Off Her Course.
Although the transatlantic steamships have definite
course the Bourgogne was by all accounts forty miles
or more north of these lines.
The fog was very dence, and the Cromartyshre

Park-"The Heart Of Chicago,

Another of Lincoln J. Carter's melodra-
matlc successes, The Heart of Chicago"
will be at the Park Theater tomorrow matt
nee and night and until Thursday 1t was a
big hit last season at the Park, being filed
with graphic scenes of the great Western
metropolis, with incidents pathetic and
laughable. Act l takes place in the Office
of two partners during the great fire that
nearly destroyed the city. One of the part
ners is murdered and his wealth stolen by
the scapegrace of the firm. Then the scenes
of the drama change to twenty years later,
when the villain has become wealthy and is
a power But murder will out" and his
accomplice in the murder of twenty years
before turns up, and through many start
is woven about the villainous partner One
OF the most realistic scenes of the piece
is that of the drawbridge, when the schem-
ing partner, with the aid of several others,
attempts to wreck a fast train by sending
1t through the open space. The draw is
opened, the signals changed to clear
track, and the audience sees the dim head
light of the engine approaching in the dis
lance. Gradually the light grows larger
as the engine comes speeding onward, and
just as 1T seems that the train is to be
wrecked the heroine appears and sets the
signal open draw" The play is mounted
with beautiful scenery. The vivid pictures

worlds fair, and a bird s-eye view of Chi

pie are three of the realistic stage pic
lures. Specialties are introduced to relieve
the tension of the heavy scenes.
That the Park next Thursday matinee and
night will have it's seating capacity taxed
there can be doubt, for the attraction an
nounced is Hoyts "A Contented Woman"
The piece is a satire of the keenest kind.
and one that appeals to all classes of thea
ter-goers. Benton Holmes, wealthy young
man, runs for mayor. In his family is Aunt
Jim, violent woman suffragist, and she
induces Holiness beautiful young wife to
run for mayor on the womans ticket
against her husband. During the progress
of the campaign, which is carried through
four acts all the incidents of political life,
with women mixed up in it, come in Since
the piece was here a great deal of original
music. u lot of novel specialties and host
of pretty girls have been added. The seem
cry and cotumeS are new, and Mr.. Hoyt
promises that in this respect the piece will
be more elaborate than ever. Miss Belle
Archer, who will be pleasantly remem-
bered from appearances here with Sothern,
Nat Goodwin and Hoyt's pieces, heads the
cast this season. Bonnie Lottie Henrietta

There are few prettier plays than ''The
Wife, which is TO be the third weeks bill

beginning tomorrow night. When David
Belasco and Henry C. De Mile wrote this
play 1t jumped into immediate favor in New

that time is now a matter of history So
popular is THE Wife," in fact, that the
royalty the play is so high that only the
best stock companies in the more prosper
Gus theaters can afford to play it, The play
has not become hackneyed and its beautiful
features are still pleasing as when it
was first brought out The four acts tell a
powerful story of the love of John Ruther-

herself i'm love with Robert Grey. BeIiev-
ing Grey to be of bad moral character. ow-
ing to false stories told about him by de-
signing woman Lucille Ferrant, Helen ac-
cepts and marries Rutherford. Grey's po-
litical enemy, Matthew Culver an unscrup-
ulous politician. carries to the newspapers
stories which contain an echo of the affair
between Grey and Helen and thus the latter
IS forced TO tell her husband OF her love
for Robert. The msnliness of Rutherford's

the love Of the wife and the play ends hap

A Stage Favorite Who Is Gifted with
Many GraCea.

There are few actresses in this country
who are more pleasantly associated in the
mind and recollection of theater-goers than
Miss Effie Shannon, who is now costar
with Mr.. Herbert Kelley, at the head of
the Kelcey-Shannon company. Exceedingly
pretty in face and form, with a pleasant
and softly modulated voice, she has for
years been accepted as one of the sweetest
and best types of tie ingenue actress. She
was with the famous Lyceum Theater
Stock Company for several years, in it's
palmiest days, has been with Augustin
Days company and the leading support
with such distinguished organizations as
William H. Cranes, Olga Nethersole's and
others of equal standing Her career is dis
tinctive in this country from the fact that
she is one of the very few women who be-
gan their professional life as a child actress
and were not lost sight of in maturer years
The infantile prococity that she showed
when she made her first appearance in
Boston with the late lamented Mccullough
IN Coriolanus, when she was but seven
years old, was so carefully trained and de-
veioped that despite the trials and harden
ing influences of the theatrical profession
she has retained her charm of simplicity
ana naturalneSS to Womanhood. She Demon
strates also in this respect that the theater
spontaneity when the DEVELOPMENT of the
child actress into the woman is watched
with care and surrounded with refining in
huelceS.
Like many other clever American actresses
VINO first won success in ingenue char
acters Miss Shannon has experienced much
dltilculty in getting away from this kind of
role MISS Shannons opportunity has come
IN clyde F1tch's new play, THE Moth and
the Flame, in which she plays the part of
Marion Wolton. The critics have already
declared how thoroughly she has taken adj
vantage of her opportunity and with what
success she presents this difficult and tax
ing role In recent interview this sub
Ject Miss Shannon said:
Il cannot tell you how happy am over
the very many kind words that have been
expressed in regard to my rendition of this
serious role. OF course like all other
actresses have always had aspirations for
strong and serious parts. You cannot i'm
agine how difficult it is for an actress who
has been associa ted with ingenue parts for
long time to get managers to believe that
she IS capable of assuming characters that
require power and emotional expression. |
nave long looked forward to playing lust
such part as Marion Wolton and possibly
you can appreciate something of my anx-
lety and nervousness on my first night in
the part. felt that l could do it salts
iactorlly, and now that everybody. or near
~ everybody, has so kindly said that / am
Iully equal to 1t, 1t is a source of immeas-
uraDle pride and happiness to me. Mind
you, don't say that / never want to play
ingenue parts again. 1 may do so when I
grow older. Ingenues are very attractive in
their way, but they certainly do inspire a
sense or monotony when one is forced to be
one continuously"

A NEW TOBACCO CURE.
Chicago Specialist who Kills the
Habit with Peanuts,

Sydney Flower in New York Herald.
However fantastic my particular method
of dealing with the tobacco habit may seem
carried out. In the first place be sure
that your patient really desires to break
off the habit Of using tobacco. In the Sec
ond place, remember that your patient will
react according to the impression your
manner makes upon his mind If you speak
lightly of your method of treating him he
will hold that method in small esteem.
Therefore, speak impressively, and if he
smiles at your modus Operandi frown him
into decent humility.
Suggestion alone is not sufficient to hold
the average tobacco user, and you will
therefore add a material medicine in the
as the idea. seems, there lies in the vulgar
peanut charm to sap the power of NY
Lady Nicotine and free the fettered slave.
In all drug habits there are two condi-
tons to combat-physical and mental, or
physiological and psychological. l use pea
nuts TO offset the. physical craving and sug-
gestion to calm the mind What is the con-
dltion OF the user of tobacco if the weed is
Withdrawn? IL is important TO understand
this, because there is but slight varia-
ton in one dozen cases from the average.
The condition is one of mental unrest
some physical sensations and nervousness.
The withdrawal of tobacco acts as a with
drawal OF n poWerful nerve tonic because

necessary performance but give him posi-
tive suggestions while he is sitting opposite
me to the following effect:
l. That it will be easy to break him of the
habit.
2. That he will not suffer, despite the fact
that he has failed TO beak off previously
but has failed on account of the discom-
fort ensuing. $3.50
3. That he is not a hero or being to be
pitied or sympathized with. because ne will
not be called upon to display any heroic
qualities of endurance.
4 That if he follows directions he will
not suffer from nervousness or ''sinkings''
at the pit of the stomach
5. That he win begin at once to gain in
weight; that his memory will be sharper
and more tenacious. and that his digestive
organs will regain tone: that his nerves will

its comeliness.

Oh. haunting dreams of a. sweet summer dead
le bring ne heartache in your whispers low,
Fences of song / may not hear again,
Voices whose tones were silent long ago;
Visions Of orchards crowned with bridal bloom
Where apple blossoms scent the air of May,
And from the sloping hillside comes the sound
OF sweet-voiced children at their happy play.
There is a low, sad rustic in the air,
Among the yellow banners of the corn;
The faded sunfower droops her heavy head,
The garden border of its wealth is shorn
subtle stiffness broods Ger all the scene,
The benediction of the year has come;
The sheaveS are garnered from the fading field
The husbandman has sung the Harvest Home.
The rustling leaves drop softly at my feet,
Warm airs caress my cheeks with loving kiss
No chill of autumn shivers in the air,
Yet something indefnable miss.
o Summer sweet, if never more earth
l may rejoice in all your beauty rare,
cannot say farewell, for we shall meet
Where you will bloom more infinitely fair
