PASSENGERS RELATED.
Steamer Warrington Aground Upon a
Sandbar.

Forty-four passengers, who left Norfolk
on the steamer Washington, Captain Tull,
of the Washington and Norfolk line
Thursday night reached here yesterday af-
ternoon on the steamer Harry Randall.
The Washington ran aground off Bluff
Point, a short distance this side of Colo
NAL Beach, during the snow storm yester-
day morning. When the pilot realized that
the big steamer was about to ground upon
the sandbar he reversed his engineaan did
everything possible to prevent long delay,
but was not successful He did succeed,
however in bringing,the steamer to a stop
in such a manner that the sleeping passen-
gers were not aroused, and it was not until
morning that some of them learned they
were still so far from their destination.
Because of the heavy northwest wind
there was low tide and the binding storm
also had something to do with the acct
dent. The mail, passengers and express
packages were transferred to the Harry
Randall yesterday.
II was about five hours after the accident
when the Steamer Randall passed the
Washington. In response to the Washing
tons signals of distress the Randall went
I'D to her and in bowling gale made sew
eral efforts to pull her on, only stopping
when she had broken all the hawsers on
both steamers. 1t was only with much diff
ficulty that Capt. Barker got the Randall
alongside the Washngtons quarters and
took off her passengers. The Washington
is ashore on what is known as the seven
and-a -half-foot lump. When the steamer
Newport News passed her this morning
she was high out of the water. and Capt.
Luckett had no lines on board long enough
to reach the stranded steamer.
Manager Callahan will make an effort
to get the steamer off at high water to-
night. A tug with a heavy wire cable has
been dispatched to Bluff Point. and this
will be made fast to the Washington. When
the Newport News reaches there tonight
she will attach the cable and endeavor to
release the Washington. Should this fail
the Washington will have to be hghtened
of her freight and coal In order to float
her. The work Of fitting the steamer Nor
folk for service is being rushed today, and
If the Washington is not floated, the Nor
folk will take her place upon the route
tornOrroW night.

Christian Association. There will be
special program of music. Messrs. McFall
and Mcfarland will contribute a duet, and
the singing will be led by the association
male chorus and the association orchestra.
Mr.. White addressed meeting of the
Volunteer League of the association last
evening. About fifty members gathered
about the supper table at o'clock. Com
missioner mcfarland, chairman of the re
-ligiouS work committee, presided, and brief
speeches were made by Dr. Charles L..
Bliss. president of the Volunteer League:
Mr.. S. W. Woodward and the general sec
rotary, Mr.. L. l.. Pierce.
Mr.. Whites address comprised a state
nient Of the needs of India. and the oppor-
tunities presented there for Christian mis-
sions. He dwelt at length upon the especial
advantages of the work among the stu
dents, which, by the common consent of all
missionary bodies, has been assigned to the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Inasmuch as the British government re-
Quires all students in the higher institutions
of learning to pursue their studies in the
English language, he said, the rapid propa-
cation of the gospel is thereby rendered
possible The Importance of the student
work from a strategic standpoint is thought
by those having the work i'll charge to be
very great, since the young men reached
in these colleges and universities go out
into every section of the vast empire and
into every phase of its civil and business
life
Mr. White illustrated his address last
evening by the use of stereoDticon views
The types of religious belief and ceremony
together with scenes of degradation re-
sultant from the practices of these religions.
were contrasted with the groups of Chris
tian students and native Christian workers
Display of Maps.
One feature of the views was the display
of a number of maps by which those pres
ent were enabled to get some idea of the
vastness of the empire and the density of
its population Attention was called to
the facility with which the work of Chris
ton missions may now be carried on in
India. The favorable attitude of the British
government and the easy means of access
by railroad to all parts of the country re-
move many of the problems encountered in
other non-Christian lands.
MIR. White will speak at the Eastern Pres
byterian Church tomorrow morning.
The Washington association is now rep
resented in India by Rev. A. H. Grace, who
sailed from this country last October to
assume the work as student secretary at
Allahabad one of the five great student
centefs of India.

Hats OF at Rehearsals.
-ha Editor of The Eyenfnr Star.

At the second rehearsal of the inaugural
chorus, at Carroll Institute Hall. Director
Foster most politely suggested that it would
be agreeable to all If the ladies would re-
move their hats. This suggestion was
promptly complied with by the most OF
those present but it was observed that
some ladies failed to remove their head
coverings. and thus, no doubt innocently
Inconvenience those sitting behind by rem
dering it impossible for them to watch Mr..
Foster without a continued neck-craning,
which process rather interferes with good
voice.
OF course, all members of Washington
musical organizations understand it is ex-
pected that hats will be removed during re-
hearsals, as it Is more agreeable to con-
ductor as well as to chorus to have an TN
INSTRUCTED view. 1t is, therefore, hoped
that applicants for membership to this
great chorus who are not used to singing
at public gatherings will kindly remove
hats at succeeding rehearsals; or, If they
object to this take seats on the back row,
where the beautiful adornments of their
heads cannot possibly distract the feminine
mind, dis-range the feminine voice. dis
turb the feminine spirit or reflect upon the
kind requests Of the popular leader of the
chorus AN OBSERVER.

About Misused Words.
.,,,, tho New York Times.


Two correspondents. who cherish re-
snect for this noble tongue of ours, have
,,r;tten 10 us expressing a desire that we
GOV something more about the misuse OF
common English words. One OF them calls
attention to the persistent use of balance
for remainder" and the other rightly OBJ
iects to .he employment Of 'lurid' to sig
n,fv brilliant or highly colored." These
are fair specimens of the abuse OF good
words. The employment of balance. 1or
remainder is the outcome of the habit OF
business men in speaking of balancing tneir
hooks. At the completion of the process
thew find either q profit or a loss and they
cali it q ''balance," and that Is precisely
what It is not Ii there were a balance
there would be no profit. no loss no re-
mainder 1t Is an absolute impossibility Tor
a balance and remainder to be the same
thing and yet most persons speak OF them
as Identical.
Now will some one please tell us what
A "helpmeet" Is? We frequently read of
men whose wives are helpmeets, but no one
explains what a helpmeet Is. The Bible,
which Is written In pretty good English,
quotes the Creator as saying: Il Will make
an neIp meet for him. which simply means
that God decided to produce help suitable
for Adam. But who made one word out Of
that noun followed by the adjective: Ana

The Queens Illness and Death.

from tne 4>eW 1ofh AAehniu.
The latest report concerning the character
of Queen Victoria's illness is published in
the current issue Of the British Medical
Journal. and is presumably based on the
authoritative statements of the royal ply
scians
1t was not until January 16 that the seri-
ous symptoms first manifested themselves
in sloWness and difficulty of speech and
transient mental confusion. Three days
later partial paralysis Of the right cheek
followed. and this, with an increased ten
dency to somnolency, remained to the end.
There does not appear to have been any
breaking down of brain tissue by actual
sells. as in the case of ordinary apoplexy.
Il was evidently nothing more at first than
an ordinary attack of aphasia due to the
partial plugging Of the artery which nOur-
ishes the speech center.
The motor nerves of the cheek original
ing in the same portion Of the brain were
likewise involved in the action, and were
consequently paralyzed.
The mental confusion to which such fire.
quent allusion has been made in the dis
patches was an evidence of this aphasic
condition, and was seemingly limited to
the mere loss of memory OF certain words
rather than lack of power to express
them.
The necessarily obstructed circulation in
the brain prepared the way for the extern
sion of paralysis to the nerves governing
the respiratory function. and then death
came quickly and patnlessly.
Thus. from a strictly pathological point
of view, the great queen died of an ordinary
disease, which is equally liable to strike any
one Of her surviving subjects under Hike
conditions Of age and physical liability.

Who set the pernicious habit of speaking
of earth as 'dirt?" Why. some good mother,
of course She saw that when her son made
mud pies in the happy days of youth he
came home with dirty face. But Lord
Palmerston ceverly said: Dirt is riatter IN
the wrong place." The boys face was dirty
because earth was out of place on it. Good
white paint would also have made his face
dirty, yet the same thing would be used to
make door ciean.

preciate" for 'enjoy?" man may perfect
