Seeing tho Sights.

Even in these days of liberal educa-
ton young women sometimes show
how confused are the ideas shut up in
their heads. Illustrative of this is the
naive blunder which Edmondo de
Amicis recounts in his story of voy-
age from Genoa to Buenos Ayres:
The captain of the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum
derer among its passengers met her one
morning and said:
"Signorina, we cross the tropic of
cancer today"
"Oh, indeedP' she cried, with en-
thusiasm. "Then we shall see some

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Deadly Perils They Encounter In Saw
ing Human Lives

ing Human Lives.
A great tenement house was burning
like finder wood in one of the poorest
quarters of the metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building, and even the fire
escape down the outside of the building
was cut off by the hot flames from the
lower windows, which had already
peeled off part of it. A young girl of
IA or 10 was frantically shrieking for
help in one of the top windows, and a
mother was wringing her hands in pitt
full despair down in the street.
The chief called for volunteers ia
save the girl, and three men came for
ward on the instant, without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their
chances for success. This is the custom
in such cases, for no one would take the
responsibility of ordering a fireman to
his possible death
A strong young fellow who had yet
to win his spurs was selected for the
task, and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway Of the adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window Just
under the roof, and, grasping the tin
corDice of the burning building next to
him, he swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand, for 80
feet through the dense smoke that rose
In black clouds from the lower windows
to the sill where the girl was seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces III the street be-
low were tortured with fear for the
hero a hundred muttered prayers vent
up for his safety as the fireman disap-
peared into the black cloud, and a thou
sand threats sent up lusty shout of re-
lief as he appeared again at the window
4 moment later with the limp form of
the girl in his arms:-Harper's Round

500 Persons Perish at Sea.

The French steamship La Bour-
gogne, which left New York last Sat-
urday for Havre, France, with 5O9
passengers and a crew of 222, sank at
ter collision early Monday morning
and $50 persons were drowned. The
disaster occurred at 5 o'clock Monday
morning, in a thick fog, sixty miles
south of Sable Island, and about two
hundred miles southeast of Halifax.
La Bourgogne, which is said to have
been going at a l7-knot speed, was
run into by the British iron ship Gro
martyshire, and sank half an hour at
ter. The Cromartyshire, though her
bow was torn away, laid by ana picked
up the 165 persons rescued. OF these
100 were members of the crew and 90
were second-class and steerage passen-
gers. Not one of the first cabin passen-
gers, among whom were some proml-
nent Americans, was saved. The cap
tain and other deck officers went down
with the ship.
Three hundred women and children
are said to have been on the La Bour-
gogne, but only one woman was saved:
She was nobly protected and rescued
by her husband, Prof. a. D. Lacasse,
of Plainfeld, New Jersey.
Some of the scenes enacted on board
the La Bourgogne just after the coils
ion were terrible to witness. Men
fought for positions in the small boats
like raving maniacs. Women were
forced back and trampled by men who
made self-preser7atiOn their first OBJ
iect. On board were a large number
of the lower class Of Italians and other
foreigners, who, in their frenzy,
stopped at nothing that promised safe
ty for themselves. Instead Of the he
roic discipline which 50 often has been
the one bright feature Of such awful
moments, the crew of the steamer
fought like demons for the few life
boats and RATS, battering the helpless
passengers away from their only means
Of salvation.
In one boat was party of forty
women, but so great was the panic
that not a hand was raised in its
launching. The occupants, so near
saved, were drowned like rats when
the ship, with an awful kissing sound,
went down.
So desperate was the situation that
an Italian passenger drew his knife
and made direct at one who, like him
self, was endeavoring to reach the
boats. Immediately his action was
initiated in every direction. Knives
were hourished and used with effect.
Women and children were driven back
to inevitable death at the point Of
weapons. The scene on the water was
even worse. Many Of the unfortunates
were struggling in the water, attempt
ing to drag themselves into the boats
or on RATS. These were pushed back
into a watery grave. Here, too, knives
were used freely.
The survivors reached Halifax yes
terday, when the awful story Of the
disaster was made public.

The most remarkable feature of the
great battle was the inconsiderable
loss to the American feet. The only
man killed was Chief Yeoman Ellis,
on the Brooklyn, and two other men
were wounded. OF the Spanish, Adj

70 other officers and 1000 men are
prisoners. About $50 were killed or
drowned and 100 wounded, the latter
being cared for on the Solace and the
Olivette.
There was an impressive scene on
the battleship Texas at the close of the
action. The Texas was right in the
thick of the fight all the time. When
the smoke finally drifted away and
the Spanish ships were seen lying dis
mantled along the shore, the command
eli of the Texas, Captain Philip, called
all hands to the quarter deck, and,
with barred head, thanked God for the
almost bloodless victory. 81 want to
make public acknowledgment here,
he said, "that l believe in God the
Father Almighty. / want all you Of
fcers and men to lift your hats and
from your hearts offer silent thanks to

There was a moment or two Of abso-
lutte silence, and then the overweight
feelings of the ships company relieved
themselves in three hearty cheers for
their beloved commander.
Commodore Winfield Scott Schley
won the great victory and he received
the surrender. When the Spanish
feet came out Admiral Sampson on
the New York was some distance
away on other duty. Commodore
Schley on the Brooklyn directed the
battle and did a big share of the fight
ing. The New York came up after
the battle was almost over, but in
