his grief took the form of desire to
starve himself to death. He had, it is
affirmed, been without food since De-
cember 20, 1900. When found he was
a mere heap of skin and bone. A
neighbor poured some warm bouillon
down his throat, and after awhile he
revived and wrote on piece of paper

FIVE WOMEN DROWNED.
while Escaping From burning
steamer Burned to the Waters


steamer Burned to the Waters
Edge.
Houghton, Mich, May 12.-The pas
senger steamer Bon Voyage caught fire
in Lake Superior last night and was
beached near the Portage ship canal.
A telephone message fran Red Ridge,
the village nearest the spot where the
steamer was put on the shore. says that
five passengers, all women, were
drowned In getting from the boat to
the shore The rest of the passengers,
al. of them men, and the crew, escaped
in safety to the beach. The burning
steamer was first sighted about 3
o'clock. She was then several miles
out from the shore and headed for the
beach. The steamer was burning fierce
.ly, but was apparently In control of the
crew. who did not have time to make
the ship canal. but headed for the shore
near Red Ridge, south Of the canal.
The steamer struck the bottom nearly
a mile from land. owing to the shoal
water. observers from distance
failed to see the life boats lowered. but
they must have been used to aid the
passengers and crew, who escaped.
The tug Mary L. left the canal, fol-
lowed by the tugs Medium and Fred
A. Lee. the latter carrying the life saw
ing crew, as soon as the burning boat
was sighted. They have not returned
as yet. The steamer is now seen to be
wrapped in fire from bow to stern and
must be burned to the waters edge.
She will probably be total loss. Mrs.
B. Altman and three daughters Of Du-
luth were among the drowned.

 MT. William Wallace Screws of Mont gomery, Ala. the editor of The Adver- tiser and probably the oldest editor of the South in consecutive service. is at the Riggs, en route to New York. During the fifty-second Congress he was libra rian on the floor at the Capitol
 ''The Booker Washington dinner incl dent" said he 'is looked upon in Ala bama as a most unfortunate one, to use a very mild expr esslon. He Is regarded as about the best and ablest negro in the world. He has certainly shown wonder fully good judgment and good sense here tofore, but his dining with the President Is regarded as a colossal mistake. The people of the South. where in many local ities there are more negroes than whites, and in many others where the numbers are about equal, will never tolerate in their midst anything bearing the sem blance of social equality, and they feel that no matter what Washington's good points may be. he should not set an ex- ample that will lead to mischievous re- suits.
 "ln Alabama fully one-half of the reve- nue of the State goes to the schools and the negroes get their full proportion. They will be protected in all their rights of person and property, but the color line will never be wiped out If negroes were as numerous in other parts of the country, this prejudice against social equality would be better understood and appreciated"

A SINGULAR REMEpY.

We have heard of many and various schemes for regulating the liquor traf- fic, but the little town of Lebanon. N. H., furnishes one of the most original. It Is the conception of a minister. who is also an earnest temperance worker. In place of all prohibitive or license laws his plan, as he outlines it. is to substitute a local option law for all cities or towns at which 'the question of prohibition or license should be voted upon each year, at an election held exclusively for the purpose and in each city or town voting for license there should be no restriction upon the liquor traffic. There should be no revenue. either from license or fines, and the business should have the same rights and recognition as any other business"

Possibly little experience might satisfy the people, and then again the-very freedom might bring in enough settlers from other places to keep majority in favor of free booze indefinite ly. We cannot say that we take kindly to the plan.
