Mig Iron Ship Cut in Halves.

One of the most delicate operations
ever undertaken Mt Cramps Philadel-

fully performed. The iron steamer
Caracas was parted in the middle, the,
object being to lengthen her 20 feet.
The task of cutting out the bolts and
rivets took many days befoe the peril
Gus task Of separating the great hulk
was begun. The vessel was simply
pulled apart with windlasses repre-
senting pulling power equal to that Of
5000 men. Several times the ropes
broke, but the work was at last com

as if IL were Impossible to widen the

States. some of these speculatons OF ours
will be either resolved or dissolved.
AN AWFUL CALAMITY.

We must stand speeches. and amazed
before the terrifying results wrought by
the storm which has just devastated our
neighboring community of New Rich
mond. The narrowing details of the aw-
full occurrence bring to us no relief. They
but intensity the feeling of profound sor
row with which we contemplate the ruin
that has been wrought.
1t is true that man has harnessed TO
his use the most tremendous of the pow
taught us in comparatively few years
secrets of the forces of nature of which
before we were as ignorant as children.
How little we have learned and what an
almost complete blank Is our knowledge
is shown by the utter appropriateness
and helplessness with which the people
of this and other communities regarded
in silence and dread the tremendous visi-
few moments yesterday, visited its full
force on a peaceful community within a
few miles of our door.
There is nothing In the entire frightful
story that brings a moments encour-
agement excepting alone the devotion
which such calamity always brings
forth. Men and women vie with each
other at any and every possible expendi-
ture of time and labor and self-sacrifice
to relieve the awful tragedy of as many
of its most pitiful effects as possible.
Before the cry for aid can be distinctly
heard the rescue Is organized. Doctors
men, laboring men and those in every
rank and station in life are enlisted in
the cause of humanity, without a single
thought but of the good they may posi-
bly, do.
1t seems to demand such calamities as
this to show how much of nobility of
character is latent In even the most self
ish of us. But a few hours before the
dread event happened the people of New
Richmond were no more to us here in st.
Paul apparently than the natives Of the
most distant community. Yet within an
hour, as 1t were, our people, men and
women alike, are rushing to their aid
without thought or hope Of reward, as
rapidly as steam can bring them to the
scene of the disaster This is the highest
assurance of human sympathy that can
be offered. 1t shows the depth and In
tensity, as no words can of the sympa-
thy and grief with which the misfortune
which overwhelmed the people of New
Richmond is regarded by those around
them.

AID AT ONCE.


awful extent of the sad visitation which
has befallen the village of New Richmond
and the surrounding country. Death and
destruction seem to have had undisputed
sway. The horrors of fire have been
added to those of the storm, and the ruin
that has been wrought on many q peace
full and happy home will never find a
remedy this side of the grave.
Under such circumstances a grave duty
rests on the people of st. Paul. 1t Is a
duty which calls for immediate discharge
This city is the nearest neighbor of the
afflicted village whose wealth and great
ness demand that 1t should assume the
burden of. the hour. We must hasten to
contribute literally, nay generously, Of
our substance to those who are in such
awful distress. No contribution will be
too small, as none can be too generous
which is designed to help those afflicted
people to their feet once more and show
to them how deeply wv feel the terrible
event which has befallen them.
Contributions in money are an absolute
need. They should be forthcoming at
once. In tho great emergency which has
come upon US there is no time for or
ganized effort 1t has been suggested
that until the movement for relief can
take tangible and organized form all
money contributions should, for the time,
be sent to ]. ]. McCardy, city comptroller
of st. Paul. The suggestion is q good
one. 1t should be acted on. The crisis IS
an awful one. 1t must be met by the
neighbors and kindred Of the stricken
people. They lie PROSTATE beneath the
blow that has descended upon them. Let
us aid in lifting them up and rendering
those offices to them without which hui
man sympathy has little or no value
Let it not be forgotten that all the re-
quirements, even to sustaining life, have
been destroyed for those who have them
selves survived the awful affair. Medi-
cal and surgical attendance there will be
sufficient Of for the time. Individual good
ness and devotion will see to that. When
all of substantial wealth has been swept
away, and men are beheld with the frag-
ments of their families around them.
wounded and bleeding. perhaps, the need
of the moment is money, with which to
buy those things without which no meas
ure of human aid can be of value.
The G o b e unites in the appeal which
goes up from the hearts of the people
that those who can, out of their sub
stance, contribute, however slightly, to
the gIievous wants of those people shall
do so. The relief which comes at once
has fourfold the value of that which lags
on the way. Nothing can exaggerate the
awful need which is on the stricken COM
munity. Let us all unite while vet the
need is great. It will be but short time
when, after the utmost stress has passed.
the generosity of outside communities
will make itself felt For the present
st. Paul has the most urgent obligation
resting on it. We believe that the peo-
pie will rise to the occasion. Whatever
is done must be done quickly. The dol
lar which is sent to Mr.. McCardy at once
will possess a power of relief greater than
$40 contributed later.
