Mrs. Fry, Of the Woman's Christian

point on the wicked and abandoned Lo-

dingnagian nymphs. she said:
THE nymph is not an intelligent god

related to high or noble mental accom-
plishments. This being true, does it not
appear as if the charge that they are made
nude is rather for the sake of nudity than
for the sake of art ?"
Mrs. Fry is right. We have observed in
our NEUROLOGICAL investigations that intel
lectual goddesses are always portrayed
with their clothes on. for the reason, We
suppose. that they are a trife stronger on
intellect than on shape. But why does Mrs.
Fry refer to nymph as it as a man re-
fers to baby? The sex of the nymph is
unquestioned; If it were not, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union would not be
so agitated. In only one instance Mrs. Fry
exposes a vulnerable place in her armoE.

says that he sighted the Pawnee on fire at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning. She was
then forty miles OF Cape Henry, on the
Virginia coast The vessel was all ablaze.
and Captain Savage at once altered his
course toward the doomed ship. AS he ap-
preached he saw that the fuel feeding the
flames was the ships cargo Of cotton.
She had burned almost to the waters
edge. all her rigging, upper deck. upper
works, and main deck Of the vessel being
gone and only her smokestack and flag

There were absolutely no signs Of life on

Savage was hopeful that the crew had ta-
ken to the small boats in time to escape,
he was also fearful that some Of them
might not have gotten away in time.
AS there was no fog and the smoke of
the burning steamer was blown far out TO
sea, Captain Savage thinks 1t possible
that the crew and passengers. II there
were any, were picked up by southbound
steamships. The City of Macon went SO
close to the Pawnee that one Of the pas
sengers took snapshot of the blazing
ship. There was considerable excitement
among the Macons forty-seven passen-
gers, which somewhat subsided when no
one could be seen on the Pawnee.
The fact that the Pawnee's stern lights
were burning indicates that the fire start

burning about twelve hours. There was
