PaGucah, KY. Aug. 21.-During a
very severe storm, Monday night, the
steamboat City of Golconda capsized
while trying to land at Cromwells,
six miles from this city. The boat
turned over while Inr passengers
were at supper. There were about 90

No Time TO Escape.
Capt. Jesse Bauer and Pilot L. T..
Peck succeeded in rescuing many peo-
pie. Capt. Peck stated that when the
boat struck there was no time to
escape; she went down on her side in
ten feet of water, and that a few
clung to yawl and reached the
shore. After the wind had subsidized
somewhat, those of the crew who
had escaped rowed to the wreck, but
found no one, and of all the women
on board, only Mrs. Hayden, wife of
the engineer, is known to have been
saved. Capt. Peck states that the
books will have to be found before
il can be determined who and how
many are lost.
Escaped Through n window.
H. +. Worten and N. S. Quarter
nous, of Hampton, KY, escaped
through a cabin window.
The City of Golconda piled between
this city and Elizabethtown, Ill. The
boat left Elizabethtown at 1 p. m.
and was due to arrive here at p. m.
She had an unusually good passenger
list, as she was the only boat coming
down Monday. The ill-fated boat was
valued at $4,000, and had been in the
trade several years.
Didn't Hear n Scream.
Capt. Jesse Bauer said: "In my
opinion the people in the cabin were
drowned instantly, as 1 did not hear
scream come from the cabin. Usu-
ally in such accidents a steamboat
will rock back and forth several
times before turning over, but the
Golconda went over without any OF
this, and it all happened so quickly
that it is a wonder any of us got out
alive"

FINE CUBAN DRINK.
Natural Fountains of Coconnut Wa
ter That Is Cool. Refreshing
and EminentIy Satisfying.

The Cuban boys and girls know
few of the joys of the fizzy soda foun-
tain. They do not have orange phos-
pilates 10 soothe their spirits during
the year-long summer, but they have
one thing in the way of drink which
no American town, at least north
of southern Florida, can provide. The
children and grown folks, too, visit
a cocoanut fountain" There are
hundreds of restaurants and cafes
in Havana and in all the towns of
Cuba where an important item Of
the stock is a huge pile of green CO.
coanuts, clad i'm their rich husks, just
as they come from the trees. There
are also many little shops very much
like "A familiar American lemonade
stand, where these cocoanuts are the
main stock in trade.
The proprietors Of these stands are
usually piratical-looking young men,
who smoke eternal cigarettes and
chat and laugh with all corners. Do
you wish TO try the virtue of Gu
ban cocoanut fountain? Step up to
the stand and say:
"Coco aqua" (Cocoanut water)
The proprietor will instantly ma
chete and hack off the end of the
husk close down TO the cocoanut
proper. Then he will bore out one
of the little eyes of the cocoanut
with the sharp point of the machete,
set before you tall glass, not too
clean, and pour into it the sweet
fresh milk of the cocoanut. Bits Of
the white meat Of the nut will float
around on top, and at first you are
not quite certain whether you will
like "coco aqua" or not. But when
you have tasted it few times you
conclude with the Cubans that there
is no other drink in the world so
cool. refreshing and satisfying in the
horrid heat of the island as this. \
full glass costs the equivalent of five
cents or less.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

WITH THE BIRDS.

Long years ago one sunny day
Alas, how dim and far away
That bright day now APPEAR
Companionless and lonely. l,
For pastime, watched the clouds go by,
Az since have gone the years.
I wandered where the brook leaped down
Its rocky channel by the town
In foamy, ceaseless flow.
! saw wild pigeons rise and fly.
Like arrows. cleaving the bright sky.
Shot from an archer's bow.
] heard the wood doves plaintive note,
AZ softly, from her FURNISHED throat.
II melted on the breeze;
] heard the plover's joy-notes ring
Across the pasture, Quaverng,
And die among the trees.
Two little wrens were building near
Their downy nest. where every year
They came TO build and sing;
They seemed to love the spot, and there,
Their tender song. soft as a prayer
Breathed welcome TO the spring.
The morning long I watched them weave.
With patient care, beneath the cave,
Their soft and downy home;
I heard them sing their tender lay,
Their song OF hope, that some near day
Nestlings would to 1t come.
And see now, what then saw
But vaguely. that one common law
Rules birds as We'll as men;
And glowing warm In every breast
Is that home-love, the first and best,
Which bids US build the dear home nest.
As doth the little wren.

But finally there was man who
thought differently. and in those days
it took a good deal Of character 10 come

way was strong enough to do this and,
knowing that he would be greatly ridi-
culed for attempting TO do such an
unheard-of thing, he dared on this
rainy day TO walk out in the streets car
rying an umbrella over him.
People stared at him in astoniSh-
ment. rude boys laughed and children
called after him, and some of the
rudest threw stones at him. The idea
of trying to protect ones self from
rain! Why. no one had thought Of such
a thing in al, these years! Some OF
the wealthiest people had umbrellas in
their houses, and servants sometimes
held them over the heads OF my lord
and lady as they stepped out TO their
carriages in heavy rain. but no fur
Their use was made Of them. ButJonas
Hanway bore the ridicule and still car
ried his umbrella until 10y and by peo-
pie began to think IL was not such a
bad idea after all. and today people
think no more of carrying an umbrella
than they do Of walking down the
street.
Umbrellas have been used in Asia

like this is carried over the king, head

lose his head for doing so. On great
occasions the umbrellas are built mp

chattering the while.
Only when they heard that last
despairing cry of Felix did Fleetwood
and one or two of the other men begin
TO gain glimmer of the truth. 1t was

M ON you give US some OF your
w acting this evening, dear Mrs.
Sterling"
The time was four p. nj. Through
the window we could see the rain
sweeping over the lawn, as it had
never ceased to do the last Is hours,
and my guests lounged about the big,
uncomfortable hall in various stages
of ennui.
"Oh yes. Please act for us!" came
in 4 chorus from all parts of the hall.
And young Charlie Fleetwood excited

a temporary stage if | would consent
to perform on il.
l would not make any rash prom
Uses, being doubtful, indeed, whether
my somewhat limited repertory in
cluded anything that would serve as
monologue. And the subject was still
under discussion when tea was
brought in, and with its fragrant pres
ence carried our thoughts away from
things theatrical TO the more impor-
tant matter of satisfying the cravings
of physical nature.
Over the sodden lawn, battling with
the wind and rain, half dozen eager
looking men advanced and steered
straight for the entrance porch.
We watched their progress in mild
surprise, and then suddenly my curios-
ity was whetted by recognizing the
foremost of the six IS one of the keep
ers at the big lunatic asylum which
stands, grim and silent, about league

This mana burly. hard-faced York

hall, after knocking, and asked TO see
Mr.. Sterling. My husband lazily rose
and went with him TO the door.
The keeper Immediately commenced
TO talk to him in a loud. excited voice
SO loud, i'm fact, that we could not
avoid overhearing part of what he
said. And that had the effect of throw
ing my guests into something like n
panic, for the keeper spoke Of a lana
