SAD FINISH OF DAYS OUTING BY
MERRY PARTY OF PIC
NICKE
SINK IN sCHUYLKILL RIVER
BOATLOAD OF EIGHT CARRIED
OVER THE BRINK OF FLAT
ROCK DAM
ONLY ONE OF THEM SAVED

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-A rowboat,
containing a merry party Of eight young
persons, was swept over Flat Rock dam
in the Schuylkill river this afternoon and
seven of them-five girls and two boys
were drowned. The victims, all Of whom
were Philadelphians, were:
FLORENCE DENSMORE, nineteen,
MAIZE KENNEDY eighteen
MAUD RUTTER, nineteen.
MAMIE SULLIVAN, tWenty-one.
FPd64RENGE P6Iy 6I BOND, twenty-one.
ROY Kicker, eight cen.
BERTRAM OSMOND, nineteen.
Ihe young man saved is John Moore,
aged twenty-one
The party started out for picnic early
this morning, and pitched their camp
at Rose Glen along the Schuylkill river.
The party separated after dinner for a
row on the river, and those above mem
toned decided to go in one boat.
Heavy rains during the past week had
made the muddy stream quite high, and
the current was much swifter than usual.
However, the unfortunate party imme-
diately struck out for midstream.
All the girls were huddled in the stern.
one Of the boys was rowing and the other
was sitting on the bow of the boat. After
getting in the middle Of the river, and
finding the current too swift for comfort,
the boat was rowed in toward shore.
During this time it was carried slowly
down stream. The boy doing the rowing
decided to go through the locks, and
as he approached the dam he was warned
by the lock keeper not to approach any
closer. The warning was not needed, and
the young oarsman kept on rowing until
he found that the lock was closed.
OARSMAN LOST CONTROL.
He attempted to turn tho boat, which
wa do
and twenty-five feet from shore, but he
turned the wrong way. A moment later
the boat was in the swiftly moving cur
rent Realizing then, for the first time,
that they were in danger, the girls be-
gan screaming, and the oarsman lost con-
troll of the boat. Swiftly it was carried
toward the brink Of the falling waters,
and just as it reached the breast Of
the dam, over which thirty inches OF
water was passing, the entire eight stood
up and the boat went over stern first.
The drop to the rocks below is approx
mately twelve feet The boat struck the
water bottom up, and as 1t dfsap seared
the whole party was under 1t. Nothing
more was seen by the few persons who
saw the accident for almost minute,
when the boat reappeared with one boy
cltnging to it's keel. Then the other young
man was seen to come to the surface ann

swimming. The six girls never rose to
the surface.
The boy who was swimming, and who
proved to be Osmond, became exhausted
and sank before he could be rescued
Moore. the other boy, who was cunging
to the boat, f1oated fully half mile down
the river, and his rescuers had an ex-
citing time before they landed him in an
other boat. He was greatly exhausted
and was slightly injured by the falling Of
the boat. Up to a late hour tonight none
of the bodies Of the victims had been
recovered.

MASONIC BENEFIT ASSOCIATION.
 The board of directors of the Mason
 ic Protective society will meet in a few
 days to consider new applicants for
 membership. But a short time re-
 mains for applicants to join this asso-
 citation without paying membership fee; 1t now costs nothing to join, thus saving from two to four dollars, and
 but $110 at the death of a member. This society has lost on an average only about four members in each year for the past twenty three years, while in some associations about as many assessments are called for in each month. This society pays as many dol lars at death to the beneficiary as there are living members There is no unusual delay in paying the benefit or quibbling in any particular, but the benefit is paid within thirty days after proof of death is given and the assess ment laid, although the bylaws allow sixty days, thus the benefit is received by the family just when it is most needed This is a family benefit asso- citation, inasmuch as female relatives of members of the Masonic order are elig- ible to join between seventeen and fifty years of age; there is no restrictions as to place or cause of death. The so- ciety has paid in benefits since the or ganization of the society some thirty thousand dollars.
 The officers of the society are: Hon. N. D. Sperry, president; Julius Twiss, president; T. Parsons Dickerman, treasurer; Dr. Frank H. Whittemore, director; w. A. Beers, secreta- ry; also the board has a good staff of directors who faithfully guard the best interests of its members. The board of directors meet regularly once a month, also hold special meet ings as aften as occasion requires. Blank application papers and all infor- nation respecting the society can be obtained at the office of the secretary 760 Chapel street, or by mail A num- Der of applications are now ready for the next board meeting.

SHOULD LITERARY MEN sMoKEq

Should literary men smoke? is one of
 the questions that Maurice de Fleury
 asks in his excellent Medicine de
 lEsprit." l am sorry to say that,
 Charles Kingsley and Carlye to the contrary notwithstanding, he answers it
 in the negative. Goethe, Heine, Victor
 Hugo, Balzac, Michelet, the elder Du-
 mas, were all of his opini, and against
 them he only puts Byron, De Musset
 Eugene Sue, George Sand, and a few other less konwn names. Yet it Is to be noted that he mixes up things that should be kept separate, and that all the names he quotes are those of great romancers, Michelet not being an ex- ception Now the burden of his song is that these geniuses were all more or less neurasthenic, or, in other words, suffered from nerve weakness, which may be true enough. But it is not gly- en oevery one to attempt the bow of Ulysses, and there are good many literary men whose style might be woke up with advantage, even if the imme- diate cause were the stomachic troubles and heart palpitations which he thinks follow the taking of tobacco by nerve sufferers.
 For the rest here is the programme, by which you can, according to him, get the best work out of yourself: Rise at ', work till S:90, khen breakfast and read your letters and newspapers till 10. Then work till 11:30 rest till 12, | then take your lunch, sit still for half 1 an hour, and walk for another. The af- l ternoon may be spent in reading when | business and social engagements do not | interfere, and inner should be taken at z, after which no work should be done. As will bse seen, this provides for a minimum of only eighteen hours a week. Few there be that can enter into this marrow way.-The Pal Mall Ga zette.

AT ST. JoHl'S CHURCH.
THE PRESENT LIFE AND THE
 FUTURE LIFE.

Interesting Address by Rev. Stewart l.. Means Yesterday Forenoon -The Mis- sion of Pain and Suffering and Sor-
 row-May be Uplifting Spiritual Forces.
 At St. Johns Episcopal church yes- terday morning the rector, the Rev.
 Stewart Means, delivered a very able
 sermon, taking his text from the 12th
 chapter of Hebrews and the seventh
 verse.
 He said that there were many ways
 of looking at life. A great many feel
 that the present condition indicates a
 fixed and certain fact, but to many
 others the future is hazardous and dim,
 Another way of regarding the present
 is that it is part of great force which
 is moving on to something more ideal
 and permanent than those things which
 we now enjoy. There are constant
 changes in men, in institutions, in inn pulses and peoples and all these changes indicate certainty of a change in our condition In the future. All seem to feel that this present life is not rock but simply a. stream mov- ing on to something unknown. These thoughts cause us to believe all the more that there is something which is certain, eternal, beyond this life. All the sorrows which we suffer assist in lifting us on to something greater and more permanent than that which was before. God is regarded by many as past master or ruler but Christian thought presents him in different as- pect, that of being our Father. The training into this belief Is not harsh but all education. both moral and spir- itual involves a certain amount of suf- fering. It is one of the strange para doxes that the best things are secured only by blood and sorrow. Pain and suffering are generally recognized as a part of life but the parliamentary idea of education is a sort of discipline which involves some denial. Our re- ligious training is as father traine the of his own family and it ends in our having a larger vision of things The training of men in this world Is the education of family for the Saint hood
 This Sainthood is the largest and most truthful way of living our lives for God, and it Is a family to which we belong. The largest burden which we have to bear is life itself. The idea of Sainthood brings thoughts of the life beyond. It is not human life and not the projection of mere material or or 1inary life into the future. The holy | sacrament was instituted that we night become more Ike Him. Those who look up shall join the transfigured | oand which we all hope to attain to.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Issned hv presidant RoosaveIt

Issued by President Roosevelt.
 Washington, Nov: 3-President Roosevelt Thursday, November 2S, as day of nation al thanksgiving. It follows: A PROCLAMATION. The season IS nigh when, according to the time hallowed custom of our people, the President appoints the dny as the especial occasion for praise and thanksgiving to God.
 This thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of great and good president. We mourn President Mckinley because we so loved and honored him; and the manner of hls death should awaken in the breasts of our people n keen anxiety for the country, and at the same time q resolute puprpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, or derly, popular liberty, which as nation we have thus far safely trod.
 Yet in spite of this great disaster, 1t Is nevertheless true that no people on earth have such abundant cause for thanksgiving as we have. The past year In particular has been one of peace and plenty. We have prospered in things material and have been able to work for our own uplifting In things intellectual and spiritual. Let us re- member that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips and shows itself in deeds. We can best prove our thankfulness to the Almighty by the way in which on this earth and at this time each of us does his duty to his fellow man.
 Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt President of the United States, do hereby designate as day of general thanksgiving Thursday, the 2Sth of this present Novem- Der, and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their wonted oc- equations and at their several homes and places of worship reverently thank the giver of all good for the countless blessings of our national life
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the of Washington this sec. ond day of November in the year of our
 Lord one thousand nine hundred and one, and of the independence SEAL. of the United States the one hun
 dred and twenty sixth.
