burning craft, and every man jumped.
There was a cloud Of smoke and fall
ing sparks, but when the air cleared
all the men were safe and the Ira o.
Smith was blowing her way, q derelict,
through the waters.
Ten minutes later a white cloud
pushed up through the black smoke
and a muff1ed roar came back to the
stranded crew. The boiler of the tug
boat had blown UP. That stopped her
career.
The tug was owned by the Independ-
ent Towing company and leased to
Contractor Sager, who is removing the
intermediate crib at the Lake View wa
ter works tunnel. This crib burned to
the waters level a few months ago and
the work of removing the stone founda-
ton has been carried on for a month
past. The Ira o. Smith toWed the
scows laden with stone to Chicago, and
was using woodwork from the burned
crib for fuel. The woodwork was light,
inf1amma bic material and was piled
around the boiler, where it was con-
stantly exposed to the danger of being
set af1re by a spark from the furnace.
1t is supposed that the fire started in

1t was a little after o'clock when
the first smoke was noticed curling up
around the deckhOuse. Captain CraW-
ford saw it and shouted orders immed-
lately for the fireman and engineer to
get out the small hose carried by the
tug. The order was obeyed, and the
captain, fixing his wheel, FASTENED to
the assistance of his men. But the lit
tie stream was powerless against the
flames. and after nearly an hours
hard fighting with the hose and with
buckets the unequal contest was aban-
doned and the race for the crib begun
As the boat struck the crib the crew
jumped and made q. place of safety.
The Ira o. Smith shot away to the

She started in pursuit, ana, running
alongside the Smith, attempted to pour
into it a stream from another small fire

Meanwhile the fire had been seen
from the land and two alarms were
sent to Chicago-one to the city hall
for the fire boat Yosemite and the other

The Yosemite arrived just as the

vessel a dense cloud of steam now rose,

HOPE LIES IN DEMOCRACY
Archbishop ireland Talks of the Needs
of Higher Education.

Notre Dame, Ind, Sept. 26.-Arch-
bishop Ireland of St. Paul, a member
OF the Lafayette memorial committee,
was a guest at the University of Notre
Dame today with Archbishop Keane. At
dinner an address Of welcome was CIV
en- by Paul Ragan, to which the arch
bishop responded. His remarks in the
main were directed to higher educa-
ton.
BE ambitious" he said. 1--WE leave
too many talents unused. The cardinal
points are ambition, courage and pa
tience AS Americans we must pos
sess them. When America needed sold
fers to fight for country they were
ready, but she has another need. There
must be a men to think for country.
The great question is, will there be
statesmen enough?
1T has been said that that Democra-
cy is not capable of raising UP men able
to insure its perpetUity. I am not one
of those who hold to this belief My
faith in Democracy is firm and it is bas-
ed on the hope that the education such
as is impaired in our colleges and uni
versities will raise up men for the
places. The university sets the ideal
high enough, it remains for the student
to reach it. Higher education not only
makes men capable Of thinking right
", but 1t polishes the soul; it makes the
man ethereal and capable Of self-sacri-
fice'

TOOK PRESIDENT ALONG.
Northwestern University Students
Celebrate Opening of School

Chicago. Sept. 26.-Sanctioned by the
Northwestern university authorities
and with the assistance of a brass band
who have just returned to their studies
bly, reminded Evanstonians that col
lege had again opened.
From o'clock in the evening until
the bell in university hall toIled the
hour of midnight /, 600 students with tin
AZ years of Northwestern's existence
the opening of college has never been
heralded with a student demonstration
and this year the faculty proposed the
celebration.
Professor c. B. Atwell announced at
Northwestern night was to be OBJ
served and that the band had been Sc
cured and paid for. The students gath
cred before Orrington Lunt hall and
when they were Joined by a delegation
of 400 "co-edS'' from WOman's hall the

The professor was ordered to make his
appearance and, joining the ranks in
position Of honor, he was marched on
with the line to the home of Professor
Coe, who had been designated as the
second recruit. Down Orrington avenue
marched the line of bowling students
to the tune of "Che-he, che-ha, che-ah,

gathering President Rogers into the
ranks as they passed his home in Sher-
idan road.
Professor Atwen says that the dem

of the faculty for the purpose of rous-
ing the students to a more thorough
enjoyment of the real pleasure to be
found in college life.

WILEY DID NOT SAY so.
It Was General Breckenridge Who
Talked Plainly to sternberg.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 26.-Military
circles heard nothing here today save
discussion of the charges and counter
charges that were made in General
Breckenridge tent yesterday in the
presence of Secretary AIger and other
high officials of the war department
General Wiley says he was mis-
quoted, that it was not he who said
DR.. Huidenkoper was unfit to hold his
position. In the general and rapid talk
which was going on in General Breck-
enridge's tent it seems that words were
put into General Wiley's mouth which
were spoken by others. The charge was
made, however, by several of the Off
GERS. General Sanger, while he de-
clines to be interviewed, says he will
stand by what he said yesterday.
1t seems that General Breckenridge
and General Sternberg had a sensation
al conversation all by themselves in
the afternoon, in which General Breck-
enridge said that he found at Chick
amAuga the surgeons had no one at
their head, that they seemed to do as
they pleased. General Wilson thought
the surgeons We're under him, while
they were taking their orders from
General Sternberg. He said the same
thing was found right here, that Major
Griffith, although on the staf of Gen
eral Sanger, considered himself sub
iect to the orders of General Sternberg.
Both gentlemen went to Secretary Al
ger for advice and he took the matter
under advisement.

NO DEFENSE FOR LILLIAN.
Prima Donna Hopes Perugini Will
Get the Divorce He Seeks.

New York, Sept 26-The hearing in
the suit of John Chatterton, known on
the stage as Signor Perugini, against
Lillian Russell for divorce, was ad-
journed today by Master in Chancery
Williams in Jersey City because Of the
nonappearance of witnesses for the de-
fence. Mr.. Williams said that if no
further evidence was brought before
him he would report to the chancellor
in favor of the decree.
An actress who was present said that
she had received a letter from Miss
Russell, in which the actress wrote as
follows of Perugini:
Il am well out of a silly marriage IL
he gets his divorce, and hope he will.
I haven't the slightest particle of regard
or respect for him. Poor dear his
friends ought to hire for him a nurse
or make a Salvation hallelujah captain
out of him.
Perugini laughed when these words
Of his wife were repeated to him.

Call For Recruits For Dewey's Ships
Brings Responses.


Chicago, Sept. 26.-Naval recruiting Of
ficers are now busily engaged in filling
the order for 10 men for Admiral Dew
ey's fleet. The enlistment offices in the
Masonic temple were filed with men
and boys from all walks of life anxious
to serve their country in the vacant
places in the Asiatic squadron.
Many of them were naval reserves
who had had taste of military service
during the war and wanted more of it.
Others came from the lake merchant
service, while many more had had no
experience aboard ship, but thought
themselves capable of acting as yeo-
Ten men were enrolled, while a score
more waited the physical examination.

Assistant Engineer Wooster had certi-
Surgeon Baker had only to set his seal
Of approval upon their applications to
make them full accredited members of
the United States naval service.
In addition to these one other sea-
man has passed the mental examina-
tons, as have two third-class yeomen
and one blacksmith. Inasmuch as they
are all possessed Of splendid phySiques
their final enlistment is certain. Lieut..
Commander Vail is accordingly only So
men behind the desired number.
And IL the present gait is maintain
ed I will have them all in a few days.
said the chief recruiting officer. Some
of these positions offer splendid oppor-
tunities to young men. Take the yeo-
men, for instance. They are really
clerks aboard ship. Their pay is good
and because their living is furnished
any young man in one of these posi-
lions cannot only save money, but can
also see much OF the world during the
three years Of his enlistment period.
Just as good opportunities are offered IN
the other grades of the naval service
which are now thrown open through
the medium of this recent enlistment
order"
