ON ISLAND
-Four Persons Out of T~wenty.Slx Saved
by Being Washed Ashore from a
Wrecked steamer

Vancouver, B. c.. June 15.-Mail ad-
vices from Australia give details of
the loss of the British ship Loeb Sley
and twenty-six lives on Kangaroo is
land, news of which was briefly COW
cred by cable from Adelaide, South
Australia, May 9th. The vessel was
driven in the dark on the scrubby and
almost uninhabitated shore, which
blocks the entrance into ST. Vincent
gulf. Only one passenger and three
sailors out of the thirty souls succeed
ed in saving their lives. The rest
were lost in the boiling surf. The
survivors wandered for days, seeking
vainly for help. They lived upon water
and provisions cast ashore from the
wrecked ship. When found they were
in a pitiable condition. Their cloth
ing consisted Of a few rags and a shirt
each. The names of the survivors
are: William Mitchell, able seaman;
William John Simpson, apprentice;
Duncan McMillin. able seaman; David
Fitzpatrick, passenger.
Mitchell said that the ship drifted
so close to the rocks that she could
not be run out again and struck heav-
lily. An enormous sea was running.
; He says that from the time the ship
| struck, Captain Peter Nicholl never
! moved off the deck, but stuck to his
! post. Within fifteen minutes of the
time she struck all hands were wash
ed overheard. Two women passengers,
| Mrs. Leichter and Mrs. Cartilage, a
widow, climbed the masts and showed
NO fear. The masts were washed
down in a few minutes. Fitzpatrick
and Simpson were unable to swim, but
| f1oated ashore on a barrel. Mitchell

! survivors were thrown on the rocks

Chief Devery ON the Witness Stand

OnAcA DoteTy on the witness stand
New York, June 1.-THE sittings of
he azet investigating committee to-
day proved interesting, and in at least
n instance exciting, and after a
squabble with the minority members
over the matter of adjournment. the
sessions were adjourned until Au-
gust LIST.
Chief OF Police Devery was called
upon by Mr.. Moss to explain why he
first threatened to stop the Fitzsim-
m~ons-Jeffries prize fight, Ink then
went to the rjngside and allowed it to
go on to a Knockout finish. Chief
Devery admitted hat he took an in
terest in prize fights and upheld prize
fighting and the Horton Jaw. Devery
said the recent fight complied with the
law and was in all respects a clean
cut contest" He fenced a. great deal
regarding whether Fitzsimmons was
knocked out, and ended UP by saying
he thought the Cornishman lac had
enough.
Mr.. Moss then questioned Devery as
to whether he had made any attempt
to close pool rooms since he was last on
the stand.
Devery said he had not. A wrangle
ensued between the two and unpleas-
ant personalities were passing between
b two men when Mazet ordered Dew
cry to cave the AS he made
no move, Mazet called the sergeant-at-
arms. Devery then stepped down from
the stand and went from the sitting.
Testimony was given to the effect
that policemen were guilty OF black
mailing disorderly women. This was
testified to by an 1~S-year-old girl who
had attempted to kill herself in a
Bowery music hall. She said the police
men had a regular schedule Of prices
for protection to the women Of the
lower Eastside, which the women had
to pay under pain of arrest.

TO THE MOTHER OF THE BABE
OF BETEFLEHEM.

Rosy dawn. the orient flushing,
Dews Ger purple flowers that flow.
Crimson wings Of martyrs. blushing
Like the blood We shed below:
Yet in light celestial glowing
Gems that pave Jehovah's hall,
Eden-Streams i'm music flowing.
Rills Ger opal rocks that fall;
Lambs of God, careering Ger US.
ROBBED in more than regal sheen,
Sing aloud in pealing chorus,
Hail, Holy Queen"
While she clasps the pretty Lisper
To her holy virgin breast
W hite-winged cherubs round her whisper
Angel armies Ger her rest.

SweeJly sheds seraphic smiles,
Bids the tides of ocean vary;
Lights on high the starry isles.
Nc who from his suns dominiOns
Gaze upon that heavenly scene.
Sing TO harps. with quivering pinions,
Hail Holy Queen
All the spheres behold with wonder
Sleeping on thy bosom lie.
Him. whose word is cloud or thunder,
Hurled them flaming through the sky,
Nary Sacred Star of Ocean,
Rise thou DER, the stormy brine,
Quell the passions wild commotion,
Cheer and save US, Mother mine,
Round US while the tempest RACES,
Be thy guiding lustre seen.
And our song, through endless ages,

I don. vent your humors on the home
circle. A boy or girl always morose
cross and seemingly preoccupied, shows
but little consideration for others.
Don't let your politenesE be always
| Tor the visitor. An agreeable speech. a
! tender word, compliment now and
then, is much appreciated, even by your
own family, softening the rough roads
in life, and making an encouragement
when needed.
The New York Times calls heIatten-
ton Of growing girls and boys to the
TACT that While they are growing they
are forming their figures for life.
Dropping the shoulders a little. droop-
ing the head as one walks, standing
unevenly, so that enc hip sinks more
than the other. do not tend to form a
straight figure, or graceful, easy car
riage.
An easy way to practice stalking well
is TO start out right. Just before you
leave the house walk up to the wall,
and see that your toes, chest and nose
touch ii at once, then in that ottitude
walk away. Keep your head up and
your chest out, and your shoulders and
back Will take care of themselves.

A CHILD'S QUESTION
is the sky a curtain.

Mamma, is the sky a curtain,
Hiding heaven from our sight:
Are the moon and sun but windows,
Made to give the angels light?
Are the stars bright flashing diamonds
Shining from Gods hand afar.
And the clouds but wells of vapor
Dropped from heaven, floating there!
If the suns a window, mamma;
Don't the angels through it peep,
Ere it kisses earth at evening.
Watching Ger us while we sleep?
Is the rainbow just ribbon
Girding heaven and earth about,
Or a railing just of roses
So the angels won't fall out?
Is the singing in the tree-tops
Songs of praise some angels sing;
Areth snowfiakes of the winter
Feathers falling from their wings?
Are the dew-drOps. brightly shining,
In the early morning hours,
I<iss-spots left by elves and fairies
Where they slept among the flowers?
Is the lightning. rockets flying
Where the Prince of Glory comes,
And the thunder but the rattle
OF the baby angels drums?

THE SIN OF OMISSION.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear.
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone YOU might have lifted
Out of your brothers way.
The bit of hearthstOne, counsel
You were hurried to much to say.
The loving touch of the hand dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no thought or time for.
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind,
The chances to be angels
Which even mortals find
They come in night and silence.
Each child reproachful wrath.
Wher hope is faint and Tagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is allStoo short. dear,
And sorrow1s all too great,
To suffer our SOW compassion
That tarries until too late:
And it's not the thing you do dear
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting of the sun,
