A BAD YEAR FOR SHIPPING.
Many Lives Lost and Vessels Wreck
ed nj Sea

| PHILADELPHIA, Jan. The year just
| closed has been one OF the mCst disJs-
/ trous ever known in local shipping circles
/ Not only has an unusually large number
| Of vessels been wrecked. but the loss of
life has been unprecedented. The lives lost
| will number nearly go. and the value Of
the property over So ,OO0OO
The two most notable losses Of life were
on the British steamships Saltram and
South Cambria, bound from Philadelphia 10
Havana. which carried forty-three persons.
Not one of the crews was left TO tell the
story OF destruction. Both vessels were
given up for lost long ago. Many lost
schooners and barges have added largely
to the list of fatalities.
The British steamship Vindabala. from
Rouen for Philadelphia. was lost in Janu-
airy last. Her crew was picked up by the
steamship Paris and all were rescued but
one man.
The iI-fated steamship Aueghany left
Philadelphia for Dunkirk via New York
and Halifax in command of Captain Me
Gilvery, who had with him a crew OF
twenty eight men. She was lost in the
February gale which swept the north At
lantic with great violence.
The British steamship Galiina. which eft
Philadelphia for Sligo. was lost en- her
outward run. The crew were all picked
up by the British steamship Meno!mee.
and landed at London on July 10.
All hands were lost. on the bark Anita
Berwind. which left Philadelphia in March
for Porto Rico. Nothing has ever been
heard from the bark Industrial which left
this port in January for Lisbon. The Nor
wegian bark Prince Edward, which left this
port in June for Honolulu. was also 10 t
with all on board, and the same fate was
met by those who manned the Dutch bark
Columbus. which sailed from Java on Au
gust II for Philadelphia. Twelve of the
crew of the German bark JOhan Friedrich,
from Philadelphia for Cette. were lost dur
ing the abandonment of the vessel at sea.
Eight of the crew of the bark Iodine
were drowned on October Il, when the
vessel was abondCned on her run from
Greenland to Philadelphia. and five OF the
crew of the Philadelphia schooner W. NJ.
Bird lost their lives off Cape Hatteras in
November including Captsin BerTett. the
master of the vessel.
other losses were the Phi adelpnia
scbooners G.. NJ. Patterson, F.. l. Cotting-
ham. r. w. Dasey, Minnie Bergen, Aren
Reppard. r. s. Derby. and the coal barges
Emma T. Crowell and Cactus. The two !
last named were lost in Delaware Bay.

A DEFENCE OF THE JEWS.
at SynagoEues Suggested
ia ChristiapS

BALTIMORE. Jan. 1.-Rev. ". A. Craw-
ford-Frost, rector of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church Of the Holy Comforter. Pratt
and Chester Streets, preached a sermon
yesterday in which he took up the defence
of the Jews. He said:
The Feast of the Circumcision. upon
which are about to enter, recalls 10 us
that our Lord and Saviour was Jew.
Though He was the founder of a new cove
nant which should embrace all mankind,
He did not nullify or abrogate the old
covenant. He only extended and enlarged
it. He was faithful to the Jewish religion,
was circumcised the eighth day. regular in
His attendance at the Passover, endorsing
frequently the Old Testament Scriptures,
and the testimony of the Law and the
Prophets, commencing the doctrine OF the
Scribes and Pharisees even while He con-
demned their actions, and, finally, when
He gave his followers their last instruc-
tious He told them to go to the Jews first
and afterward TO the Gentiles.
Il have often wondered why Christian
ministers preach so minutely about the
Jews of Palestine and of the remote past
without giving a thought to those of Balti-
more, VINO are mere Wlln us HOW anu WITH
whom we are ever coming into closer busi-
ness and social contact. We could have no
better illustration of the tendency to avoid
the practical application of Christ's teach
ing to everyday life. We send mission
aries to Jerusalem to convert the Jews,
but we never dream of trying to persuade
our Baltimore fellow-citizens to turn their
synagogues into Christian churches and
accept as their Messiah the one whom We
believe TO be the fulfllment of all their
types and prophecies.
Now the first step toward this is
loving and appreciative attitude toward
them. We should attend their synagogues,
not TO criticise, but to learn and to show
our friendiness. The middle wall of par
tition is broken down and we should walk
over the place where it used to be. The
next step is to show them by our lives
that our religion is better one. l am
afraid that in the eyes of Heaven Chris
tians throughout the ages-aye, and down !

TO buy the rubber boots?''
The Enalshman had not heard il.
"A man went into shop and asked for a pair
of rubber boots and expressed anxiety as to
whether they were made of pure rubber The
salesman told him that they Still he was
dissatisfied, and expressed doubt about it. Why,

A COSTLY FAMILY TREE.
Miss Sarah Adams Pays Six Thousand
Dollars to Rear 1t.
(From the New York WORLDLY


Six thousand dollars is what Miss Sarah
E. Adams, of Norwalk, Conn, paid out OF
snug little estate valued at $4,000 to un-
derstand her genealogical tree. For that
sum she was enabled TO know her history
from the time of the Revolutionary War,
and she says she would have willingly
spent the rest of il tracing her forefathers
back to the old Norman days, but Judge
Seymour, of the probate court of Fairfield
county, Conn, thought she knew sufficient,
and appointed a conservator of her property
so that she could waste no more of il.
This step was urged by her brothers,
Charles Francis Adams and John Adams.
c. F. Adams conducts a grocery store in
Greenwich Conn. He is of practical turn
of mind. Mr.. Adams says he knows moth
ing of his genealogical tree and cares less.
1T isn't what you used TO be: it's what you
are today is Mr.. Adams way of thinking.
He says the latest quotations on eggs and
Goldfish interest him more than his ances-
try. But his sister, who is fifty-eight years
old, thinks differently. ITO me the story
of my forefathers and their labors in build
ing the foundation Of my country is rare
study" she says.
Miss Adams is a good-looking woman OF
medium stature, with hair just tinged with
grey and kindly blue eyes. She has
pleasant suite of rooms in a big house on a
stylish street in Norwalk and lives alone.

press on Wednesday. Mr.. Williams said
Many Of Mr.. Ryan's statements were
misleading, and l will reply to them in de-
tail in due course. There is absolutely no
question as to the legality of our plan for
the formation of the greater Seaboard sys-
TEN, and Mr.. Ryan's efforts to place OBJ
stacles in our path will not seriously delay
it. We have successfully carried out every

Insurance Companies VIII Withdraw
Their Business From Texas.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 1.-Unoficial sd-
vices have been received here to the effect
that number of prominent fire insurance
companies now doing business in Texas
will withdraw from the State the first of
the year on account of the new antitrust
law, passed by the last legislature which
goes into effect January 81, 1900. This law
embraces the affidavit feature, and prOhib-
its all insurance companies doing business
in Texas from belonging 10 any rating bu-
reau, whether such bureau is maintained
in or outside of the State.
1t is even more far-Teaching than the
Arkansas antitrust law, passed by the last
legislature of that State, and which caused
a wholesale withdrawal of companies doing
business there. The State depaItm ent of
insurance here was yesterday officially ad-
vised by the Merchants Fire Insurance
Company, of New Orleans. that il would
withdraw from Texas on January /.

Famous Orchestra Leaders.
(From the Kansas City Star.l

Jean Lamoureux, the best-known orchestral
leader in France, who died suddenly on Thurs
day, was mainly responsible for the production
OF Wagners works at the Paris National Opera
House in the face OF riotous oppoGition some
years ago. Larnoureux directed the most perfect
orchestra in the world, his series OF concerts
every winter being great social as well as
musical event. He produced Tristan and Isolde
for the first time in France two months ago,
dying three days after the last performance. On
the same day Joseph Dupont, the famous Bel
gian orchestra leader, died suddenly in Brussels,
two hours after Lamoureux, whose friend he was.
Dupont occupied a musical and moral place
scarcely second to the French leader.

Senator Tillman announces that
two,thirdS of the Legislature elects
ed are dispensarv advocates, So
there is no hope for the passage
Of Il prohibition law by the rcxt
Legislature. The dispensary can
not be interfercd with then for at
least two more years, but this is
no reason why we should not work
hard for the election of Col HOvt
next Tuesday. If elected he will
construe and enforce the dlspen-
SarY law so rs to oct all the pro-
hibitl0n out of it possible and that
is what all prohibiti0nists and dis
pensurN advocates ought to want.
Its enforcement, especially inChar
lesion and Columbia, during the
present administration has been
Il tar,ical farce. When Tillman
was governor and trying to en-
force the dispensnry law in those
cities he was hated worse than
and could scarcely get any votes
in either of those cities. But see
by what overwhelming maiorlties
Mr. McSwcency carries them. Does
it not give show of truth to the
charges made against him by three
of his opponents Gary, Pattcr~
son and Whitman-in the recent
state canvass as to his non>cn-
fOrcCment of the law there. We
belleve the final and true solution
of the whiskey question will be
the dispensary law shorn of its
