MANY LIVES LOST.
The steamer Stella Strikes Rocks In
Fog in the English Channel
and Goes 10 the Bottom.

Southampton, April The pas
senger steamer Stella, plying between
this port and the Channel islands
crashed upon the dreaded Casquet
rocks, near the Island Of Alderney, in
a dense fog and foundered in ten min
utes, her boilers exploding with ire
meudous report as she went down. In
spite of this, il is said, there was no
panic on board. The coasting steamer
Lynx, which brought the news of the
disaster here, picked up four boats and
40 persons belonging TO the Stella.
Late estimates of the number of lives
lost range from 70 to 12O persons.
The last thing the survivors saw was
the figure of the captain OF the Stella
standing calmly on the bridge and Civ
ing his last instructions The captain
persisted with his vessel, owing to the
suction caused by the sinking steamer
being very great indeed.
Many pathetic incidents are reported.
In several cases men lifted their wives
and children into the boats and then
persisted themselves in their presence.
One wife who was thus bereayed lost
her reason. A large number of the
survivors arrived here without any
clothing, clad only in blankets. The
passengers all agree that perfect order
and discipline prevailed on board the
Stella. The crew promptly took up
their stations when the steamer struck,
served out the life belts and lowered the
boats. The scene at the moment of
the sinking of the vessel was heart
rending. Those who had succeeded in
getting into the boats had narrow es-
cape from being engulfed on account
OF the suction caused by the sinking
vessel. The voice Of Capt Rocks. from
the bridge, was frequently heard urg-
ing the rowers to pull for their lives.

In last weeks issue we forgot to

swarm all over her before she can

she can help rid herself OF the insects.

When the chicks are "A week old give

the powder. The best time To do
this is after dark when the hen win be
quiet and the dust will remain among
the feathers when she broods the
chicks. This Persian or Dalmation
insect powder, as it is also called, is
very cheap and very good for this
purpose. A hen that is covered with
insects during incubation comes of
more dead than alive when the chicks
are out of the shell. We have seen
hens stick to it until death ended their
misery and the chicks had died in the
shells for want of sufficient warmth to
enable them to break through and
liberate themselves. Ii your hens are
slow in getting ready TO set and you
are anxious to get out some early
chicks let the eggs remain in the nests
until they contain about dozen. In
other words leave quite ndmber of
eggs in each nest every night. The
hen will soon become broody because
nature tells her there are eggs enough
there for business.
The Jungle fowl from which our
domestic fowls sprung layed either 9
or 1 eggs, became broody and set and
Matched her brood. She would care
for the chicks the remainder of the

sets and matches the young birds. If
YOU could steal out one OF the number
she would either lay one more egg or
desert the nest entirely. build a new
one and lay four more eggs. Thus it
is by removing the eggs every night
we have induced our fowls TO lay
more and more until now instead of
the or IL eggs which the Jungle
fowl OF India layed in a year, we have
fowls today which lay from one hun

a season.
TO raise a bird that will at maturity
have its full standard weight it must
have a good start when IA chick. 1t
must be healthy and thrifty from the
shell to the griddle. Good wholesome
food and plenty OF it, though not
enough at time to pack the crop,
should be provided. Not something
just to fill the crop but such as viii
produce growth. No matter what is
fed without plenty Of exercise and
freedom from lice no bird will ever
reach its standard weight. Don't run
over that last sentence without giving
it thought. When your chick is
half grown you are liable to forget the
lice. If you do the next show season
you will say, Il would have won if
my bird had been up on weight
Don't forget that it takes wholesome
food, exercise and no lice. 1t takes
that and the neglect OF either will give
YOU scrubby and small birds and no
bird once stunted will ever have the
weight or appearance it should have.

PHILIPPINE SOVEREIGNTY.
Professor Schurman Speaks OF Future
Government Of Islands.

Professor Schurman Speaks OF Future
Government Of Islands.
Ithaca, N. Y. Aug. 22.-Commis-
sioner Jacob G. Schurman reached
Ithaca yesterday. Since leaving Man
lila he has. he says, steadily refused to
discuss Philippine affairs, although he
has been besieged by reporters every
where Chicago reporters having gone
MS far west as the Rocky mountains to
interview him. However, he now
makes the following statement:
First, the United States having as
sumed sovereignty over the Philippine
islands by virtue Of a treaty of peace
with Spain, the chief executive Of the
republic is engaged IN establishing that
sovereignty. The issue today is not a
commercial one, although the natural
resources of the Philippine islands are
of great value, and wait only American
capital for the development. Nor is
the question of political expediency or
party politics, although In its collateral
branch there may be aspects on which
political parties may properly divide,
but the question today is neither one OF
commercial advantage nor Of partisan
politics. 1t Is a purely moral question.
The vital issue is the honor Of the ma
ton, the protection Of loyal Filipinos,
and the fulfillment of our obligations
to the nations of the world involved in
our acceptance of sovereignty.
Second, the means and agencies for
the accomplishment Of this end must
be determined by the president, and it
is well to bear In mind that the presi-
dent understands the situation better
than any one else can possibly do, in
asmuch as he is in receipt of informa-
tion from variety of sources, civil
and military, and has the judgment of
experts upon the facts reported. have
no doubt the president will soon eff
feet solution OF the Philippine prob
lem which will be entirely satisfactory
to the American people. To his states
manship and tried ability we may en-
trust the issue with perfect confidence

The Storm In wyoming Valley.

Wilkesbare, Pa, Aug 22.-The Wy
oming valley was visited by a severe
wind and rain storm last evening. AT
times the wind blow hurricane. Trees
were uprooted, fences blown down and
small buildings were wrecked. AT
Plymouth Christopher Schwab,
miner took refuge from the storm IN
an clubhouse. A heavy piece of iron
from an adjoining building was blown
down on the house demolishing the
roof and striking Schwab on the head.
His skull was crushed and he died In a
short time. When the storm was at Its
height hundreds of swallows that roost
in the trees in the court house YARD
we're hurled to the ground by the force
of the wind and in their bewildered
condition they were easily captured.
The ground in many places was fairly
covered with them. One bootblack had
no trouble in bagging over a hundred
of the birds.

= 4 81 IA a.

The New Era, an organ publish
ed BY the colored people in our city
says: "Colored Republicans are
becoming restless under the yoke
placed upon them by the Regular
machine. Several appointments tor
service rendered in the municipal
campaign were promised, but have
not been given" We are sorry to
say that a great many of the color
ed Republicans, like a good many
white Republicans, have to be paid
to vote. Their love of party con-
sists in show much" The New Era
sounds tocsin that is wrong in its
Representations. From all accounts
the Republican party thought more
Of the Democratic success at the
last election than they did OF Re
publican success. It was a well
known fact that with two Republi-
can tickets IN the field, there could
be but one result. The fact remains
that that was the position in which
the Republicans placed themselves
and all the foolish talk now cannot
remedy the blunder. 1t is only by
a united Republican party that
success can be obtained. There is
no use in talking about a Union
and Regular Republican party.
A new get together party should be
started before the next election and
the Republicans would sweep the
State.
