on board. She was the Vile de st.
Nazaire. This vessel was caught in a
hurricane that caused her to careen so
that she sank almost Immediately
Only one boat could be launched before
the St. Nazaire went down with three
score of souls. Fourteen escaped in the
boat, but only four survived the rough
experience that followed before they
were picked up by a fishing schooner
and brought TO this city.
A year ago last May the Leona OF
the Mallory line, plying between this
city n Galveston, was discovered to
be on fire soon after she sailed from
this port. Before the fire was sub
dued l3 of the passengers and crew
were burned TO death. The Leona was
brought back to his city almost a
wreck.
But disasters by fire at sea have not
been so numerous of late as have ter
rible collisions like that of the Bour-
gosne. When the Holland-American
line steamship w. A. Shelton was
sunk in collision ten miles off Dover
on the night of Nov. 10. 1887, 1872 per-
sons were drowned. In September.
1895, the Edam j. of the same line
went down in collision with the
steamer Turkestan in the English
channel. A very different story is 10

UP by the ocean as mysteriously as
though she had dissolved into thin air
on her voyage over. What happened
to her after she left Liverpool has
never been determined. h was heard
of no more and not a stick of timber
was ever picked up to afford the
mourners the slightest clue to her fate.
A disaster that was almost as dread
full as La Bourgogne's occurred on
March 5, 1854, when the steamship
City of Glasgow, which sailed from
Liverpool bound for Philadelphia,
foundered in mid-ocean with 4SO souls
on board.
Sable island, that graveyard OF ships
of all kinds and sizes, claimed the big
teamer City of Boston on Jan. 20,
1870. Not a soul of the 40 passengers
and 60 officers and sailors escaped TO
tell the story of the wreck OF sable
island. How she came to sink with
such terrible suddenness that there
was no time for those aboard to save
themselves has been a subject Tor

New York, July 11.-While he awful
horror OF the catastrophe, in which 800
passengers of the big French liner La
B~ourgogne met death in the depths of
the sea is still in peoples minds, there
is a general recalling Of similar disas-
ters, and the stoutest hearted are ask
ing whether il is not time to call a
halt on the terrific speed with which
our fast ocean boats cross the Allan
tic. The record of disasters similar 20
that Of La Bourgogne is a terribly i'm
pressive one. There is no need to go
further back han the early forties TO
begin the sad list.
In 1S41 there occurred a catastrophe
that came within a little of being fully
as awful as hat of the big French
liner. On March IL of that year the
steamship President received her
death blow in a collision, and when the
roll was called 1t was found that 800
passengers had persisted.
There is this small comfort for the
relatives and friends of those who went
down with La Bourgogne that they at
least knew the fate OF their loved ones.
This consolation was denied to those
who had friends aboard the steamship
Pacific of the Old Collins line, which

light to show what the cause of the
disaster had been.
Similar mysteries of the ocean are
many. Had La Bourgogne sailed from
New York and heard of no more for
ever il would have been only another
added to a long list of such distressing
losses. There sailed from Philadelphia
on Dec. /, 1889, l20 persons on the Hay
tian warship Philadelphia. She left
amid the cheers of the Americans and
the firing of cannon, a handsome ship,
manned by as gallant a crew as ever
trod a deck. Whether she is sailing

DICKENS Flying Dutchman, or lies
sunk on some hidden rock that is I'M
known to navigators, remains to be
learned. No news of the Atlanta ever
came to hand after she was lost 10
sight of the American people who
cheered her on her departure.
The fate of the White Star freight
ship Naronic is shrouded in similar
mystery. She sailed from Liverpool on
Feb. IL, 1898, with a large cargo and
20 souls on board. She went out into
the ocean night and disappeared rs

existed. No tidings of the missing
Naronic have come to hand since then.

Madrid, July Show does she spend

Christina. queen regent of Spain?
While her soldiers are waiting for the
end. knowing that it can only end n
way, what does Maria Christina,
mother of the boy king and toy king
of Spain, think of II all? Those who
are near to the queen regent say that
she has very much changed since he
war began. Not that she has changed
the steadfast habits of her life, mono.-
onous IN Its regularity.
The queen Is always called, summer
and winter. at 6 o'clock, and before
sitting down to the enormous amount
of private n official correspondence
which has to be dealt with every day,
she always attends mass in the private
chapel of whatever palace the court is
inhabiting: and, lest some of her son
advisers should find fault with her for
doing so. the queen made it a rule 70
rise an hour earlier than she would
otherwise do. in order that no one
should be able to say hat her relig-
Ious exercises interfered with her du-
ties as queen regent. After mass the
queen pays q visit to her children and
arranges how they are to spend the
day, and by s o'clock she is ready TO re-
ceive her secretaries and to devour
Spanish and foreign newspapers for
news of the wars progress.
The queen has formed no intimacies
among her ladies during his trying
time; she is in daily communication
with her mother. but the only human
being of whom she ever asks advice IS
the who has often brought his

Queen Christina. the country had
found a wise and strong ruler.
In this time of trouble for Spain the
Spaniards are recalling an old story of
the difhculty in finding a suitable name
for the boy. The history of Spain was
ransacked with. the view to finding
some name which hould recall ancient
glory and ensure future fame. The
queen, however, declared that the only
proper name for her son was that of
his father, and this in spite Of the fact
that he would. In that case. be AL
phonso XIII. She was upheld in her
decision by the pope, who himself Of
fered to be godfather to the fatherless
king; and the fact that the greatest
pope of modern days was the 18th Of
his name was pointed out as being a
good augury.
Alphonso XIII. was proclaimed king
on the day of his birth, and. as was
soon became the most popular figure
in Spanish life.
Queen Christina is one OF those wo-
men who never shirk unpleasant possi-
bilities. and in this has probably lain
her strength: she Is only o well

To those who, in the past, have
led the young men into tempta-

we would say beseechingly, stop
it, and consider well the path in
which you tread, and the awful sin
that you are committing when you
place the cup in their hands that
causes them to lose their reason
and makes them unfit for the So
ciety they love. Oh, how can you
endure to see that young loving
wife and mother plead with him
who was once a bright loving hus-
band, but through the Intoxicating
cup, has ceased to 0e man, and
fallen below the brute creation.
Can you endure that mothers
prayers whose loving son you have
been the means of leading to ruin,
when she, in the sincerity of her
heart and soul, offers up her prayer
to God asking Him to deal with
you according to your just des-
erts? How will you feel when
you wake up to a realization of
your true condition? Again I say,
stop and consider, ere it is too late.
For, rest assured, if you do not
heed the warning voice. the stern
hand of justice will be dealt out to
you without stint, as both fathers
and mothers and every lover of
God and His cause, will unite to
bring you to justice. Com.
