They had been sitting In the mellow
twilight and listening to the music
from the pavilion across the water,
says a western rOmancer. She looked
at him wistfully for a moment and
said: SIN such a night Troilus, me-
thinks mounted the Trojan walls and
sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian
tents, where Crcssid lay that night"
YES" he replied, n s'pose it must
have been very much like tonight"
"In such a night" she continued, af-
ter heaving a gentle sigh, did Thisbe
fearfully o'ertrip the dew, and saw the
lions shadow ere himself, and ran dis.
mayed away" "l hadn't heard about
that" he said. "There's SO much in
the papers now that a person can't
read anything, specially II he has
business to tend to-" After a brief
silence she went on: "In such a night
stood Dido with a willow 10 her hand
upon the wild sea banks waiting her
love to come again TO Carthage
AI've always heard that the summer
nights were ~fearfully hot down there
In Missouri" he said. 'But, OF course,
tyou know more about that than l do.
"Yoy've lived there and l haven't"
N'In such a night" she quoted, throw
ing her whole soul into it, Media
gathered the enchanted herbs that
did renew old Aeron." $40 they still
have them witches down there?:" he
asked. She looked at him steadily for
"a moment and then, after fattening a
mosquito upon her LETT wrist, said:
"Well, 1 suppose l must be going in,
orthe folks will be worried about
me.s Wait a minute, he begged,
"thS0e's something l want to ask
you" She moved a little nearer to
him add drew a long, long breath.
''You say" he v%entured, that that
party stood On the wild sea banks
down there at Carthage. How could
she do that? l went through Car
thage once on my way to Texas, and
all l seen was a little bit Of a crick."
Then she left him and her heart was
full Of bitterness against what is
called the self-made man.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR CLOSES

Christian Endeavor closed tonight amid
scenes of impressive solemnity attend

country represented, and last exhorta-

Kansas. and Evangelist Chapman of

as TO attendance, etc, was given out by
Secretary Baer:
Without doubt, the attendance at this
convention has very much exceeded
that of any Christion Endeavor con-
vention ever held in the mater of those
present at the various meetings. This
estimate takes into account the great
convention at Boston in 1895. that is to
say. that out of the Is, 900 Endeavorers
registered, which is the estimate of the
reception committee and includes De-
troit members, there have been more
who attended meetings than at any
previous time. The estimate of attend
ance at meetings gives a total of 2eS.-
800. There We're $4,000 Endeavorers in

FOG CAUSES STEAMERS WRECK
THE PORTIA GOES ASHORE NEAR
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA.
Passengers and Crew, 115 All Told,
Landed Safely on an Island-Ship
Full of Water.

Halifax, n. s., July 10.-The steamer
Portia. from New York for Halifax,
was wrecked during a dense fog early
this evening on Flynn's island, off
Sambro a point about fifteen miles to
| the eastward of Halifax. The paSsen-
! gers and crew, lis all told, landed on
the island in the ships boats and all
! are comfortably housed there. No loss
| of life is reported.
As soon as all the people had been
safely landed. Captain Farrell started
for the mainland with a boats crew
and reached Sambro late tonight,
/ whence he sent the news of the disas-
ter to Halifax by telephone. Forum
ately the weather was moderate and
the sea running was not high, else the
( landing of those on board could not
have been accomplished without great
danger and perhaps loss of life.
The steamer is already full of water
and total wreck. The disaster oc-
CURED shortly before p. m. The pas
sengers, of whom there are seventy
FIVE, were nearly all tourists.
The steamer had a large cargo for
this port and st. Johns, N F. The
place where she struck is known as
Big Fish shoal, and is one and a half
miles west of the light on Sambro
island.
When the steamer struck most of the
passengers were on deck. The Portia
took the shoal with a dull, grinding
shock, that sent a thrill from stem to
stern and brought all on deck to their
feet in alarm. The steamer came to a
sudden stop and the engines, which
were Immediately reversed, refused to
pull her off. When her commander
found her filling rapidly. he gave orders
to abandon the ship. Few of the pas
sengers ventured below to recover their
valuables after they learned that they
were in danger. The Portia had an
unusually large number of passengers
on board and her state room was
crowded.
The passenger list was lost. as well
as all the ships papers, and the names
cannot be obtained here tonight. AS
there were III altogether on board. it is |
estimated that there was at least |
eighty passengers summer tourists on |
a pleasure trip.
Two relief steamers have been sent to |
the wreck and should arrive soon after
O'Clock in the morning. Both steam
ers carried supplies of provisions as the
passengers and crew, by the time the
succor arrived will probably have con-
sumed all the eatables on inner Sam
bro. The Portals passengers will be
brought, as soon as possible, to Hall
fax.
