VICTORIA, B. c., Jan 29-The steamer
Danube. which arrived here early this
morning from Alaska, brought news of
mishaps to three vessels in northern
waters. In addition to the wreck of the
steamer Corona, already reported, she
brought confirmatory news of the report
that the steamer Coquitlam of Van
couver had run on a rock south of FIT.
Wrangel. The Coquitlam was not float
ed until part of her cargo was jetti-
soned. She remained on the rock about
five hours.
When met by the Danube at Ft. Wran-
gel, the Coquitlam was taking fifteen to
twenty inches of water an hour. The
pumps We're able to keep the water down,
and the captain of the Coquitlam pro-
posed to continue his trip to the mouth Of
the Stickeen river.
The third accident consisted in the
sinking of the little ferry boat Alaska,
which runs from FIT. Wrangel to the
Stickeen river The Alaska settled
down on some rocks with the falling of
the tide and several holes were punched
in her side. She was towed off but sunk
in deep water. No lives We're lost.
The captain of the Danube furnishes
the following particulars of the wreck
of the Corona while on her way to Skag-
uay and Dyea with 255 passengers:
Just at daylight on Sunday morning,
when entering the southern end of Ma
lacca passage she struck on a reef which
skirts the shore of Porcher island, and
which makes mariners keep we'll over to
Kennedy island, inside.
"The reef is a jagged one and one OF
the sharp projecting rocks pierced the
steamers hull. The steamer was within
stones throw of Lewis island, and her
passengers and crew were landed, some
passengers taking their tents with them.
With these and sails from the steamer
a city of canvas was soon built. When
the Danube passed down the Corona's s
passengers were comfortably settled,
they We're anxiously waiting
the arrival of the steamer Al-Ki. which
will bring them south. The Corona was
two-thirds under water and part of her
upper works We're washed away when
the Danube left. Capt. Myers thought
that the first storm or heavy sea would
break her up.
"At the time of the accident, Capt
Pierce was on the bridge of the Corona
The worst feature of the wreck of the
Corona is the loss suffered by passengers
had their all invested in outfits which
We're to take them to where they hoped
to make their fortunes"

those who, by thrift and economy,
manage to spare something from
moderate incomes. This is the chief
service rendered by savings institutions,
and to render that service with absolute
security it is becoming necessary to re-
duce the interest heretofore earned for
depositors. The savings institutions Of
the country can no longer find invest,
ments absolutely secure, which will
yield the returns heretofore afforded.
Instead of earning 3 to per cent. net
annually it SEEMS that the savings banks
capital can now only be made to earn
from 2 to3 per cent. 1t appears, there
fore, that depositors will have to be con-
tent with smaller returns hereafter,
satisfied that secure investments where
their accumulations will be safe beyond
all question can no longer be found to
yield higher rates for usance.

The refusal of the Powers to allow Tur-
key to replace 1900 time expired troops
on the island of Crete is a wise one. As
long as there are two parties on the is
land so long will there be fighting. In
fact, if the Powers went Il step further
and moved all the Mohammedans to Tur-
key it is likely that peace would then
descend on the isle, Certainly there is
little prospect OF quiet befor some such

In a Massachusetts seaport town there
is a retired sea captain who makes a
frequent boast that he has the 'smartest
woman along the shore" New Instances of
her enterprise are constantly coming to
notice, relates Youths Companion. The last
one refers to an exploit by which she saved
herself a Doctors bill. The captain tells
the story with great relish.
She's getting pretty heavy" he begins,
and now and again she'll miss her foot
ing. Well, not many months ago she missed
1t on our stairs and fell all In a heap down
three steps on to her side.
When / got to her, she said, just as
brisk as usual: Don't ask me IL I've hurt
myself, cap'n, for Of course l have. l reckon
I've unjointed a bone in my left leg, falling
on It,. Now don't try to pull me up. Let

He looked her over and said there was a
bone round her left hip that
was out of killer.
AT that mother rose right up on her
feet and toppled over the opposite way
from what she'd fallen downstairs, and we
heard q kind of a crack.
"She looked up at the doctor with her
mouth kind of whitish, but the same old
twinkle in her eyes, and she says: 4 be-
lieve I've set that bone myself. DOCTOR and

A purse-snatching thief made his profess
sionai debut in Omaha Friday night. He did
Two daring pieces OF work. In one he was
successful and in the other his yictim's
screams foiled him.
Mary Fallen Of 413 South Nineteenth
Street was his first mark. She first saw the
thief at the corner of Sixteenth and Can
itol avenue and noticed that he eyed her
very tntently. Thinking he was one of that
obnoxious class known as 'mashers" that
infest Sixteenth street after dark, she paid
no attention to him but continued on her
way north. When half way down the block
she noticed he was following her and She
quickened her steps. At Seventeenth and
Davenport streets he made a quick run and
before she could scream for assistance
grabbed her pocket book and ran east on
Davenport street. A policeman was notified,
but could not find any trace of the fellow.
The purse contained SIS.
An hour after the fellow ATTEMPTED To
grab the purse OF a Mrs. Winfield, who re-
fused to give her address, at the corner of
Farnam and Thirteenth streets. She
screamed as he lunged forward toward her
and dropped the purse. Two men, who went
to her assistance. caused the thief to dart
away In the darkness on Thirteenth street.
The man Is described as being well dressed
In a light suit and brown derby hat. His
age Ia given as about 80 and his weight las

Most OF the activity in fraternal societies
is at present centered about the exposition.
Nearly all the prominent orders In the
country have selected a day for a celebration
at the exposition. and the result Is a
friendly strife for the most successful day
in point of attendance and otherwise.
Fraternal papers in all parts Of the United
States are calling attention to the special
days and giving the exposition considerable
advertising. Circulars have been sent by
many OF the orders to lodges throughout
the country and every possible inducement
is being held out to prospective visitors.
or all the lodges the Odd Fellows expect
TO have the greatest attendance on their
day, October II. The local committees feel
confident that with low railroad rates the
attendance or Odd Fellows will not fall
short of 1000, and this estimate does not
seem large when II Is taken into considera-
ton that the membership Of the order in
the United States is almost l,O00. 900.
The Woodmen OF the World place the at
tendance of their members upon Woodmen
OF the World day, September 9, at not less
than 10, 900. Red Mems day, August 10,
promises to have a large attendance. Sep
TENDER %, Knights of the Maccabees' day,
is being extensively advertised and will
doubtless be one OF the most successful
fraternal days, Among the other prominent
days will be shriners' day, Elks' day,
Knights OF Pythias' day and Fraternal day,
which will be participated in by member
OF all fraternal organizations.
OF all the fraternal days none perhaps
will be more unique than Red Mems and
Tennessee Red Mems days, August 10 and
IL respectively. The uniform worn by the
Red Men is so different from that ordinarily
worn by drilled bodies of men that the ef-
feet will be something new. The contrast
between the genuine Indian and his white
brother in red mems clothing may be OBJ
served at that time. for the Indian con-
gress will also be in session.
