LOST CITY OF P|T1SB(JRG.
The Number of Lives Lost By the
Burning of the Steamer May
Never Be Known.
THE TOTAL MAY REACH SEVEHTY-FIVE.
Many of the Survivors are suffering
Severely From the Effects OF Ex-
posture and Fright-The Percent
age of Loss Greatest Among Wom-
en- and Children.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 21.-Although no
complete list of either the victims
or of the survivors is yet obtainable,
investigation indicates that almost
one-half of the $50 people on the City
of Pittsburg were lost when that i'll
fated steamer was burned, Sunday,
at Ogden's landing, between this city
and Paducah. Many of those who
were brought to this city are suffer
ing from exposure and fright. The
number aboard was about equally di-
vided between passengers and crew,
the latter suffering the greater loss
in casualties. The names of many of
the roustabouts were not known, and
the number drowned or burned is not
likely ever to be ascertained.
The fire started in the lower part of
the steamer, in the freight, or pos
sibly in the engine room, and shut
off the means of escape there, while
passengers jumped overheard from
the upper decks. Within ten minutes
of the discovery of the fire at a. m,
survivors say, the upper decks were
swept by flames, and passengers were
penned in on all sides, even the life
preservers being cut off by the
flames. The panic that followed
caused a greater loss of life than

BASEBALLIsTS INTERESTED.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
UphoIds the Validity of the
Reserve Clause.

Philadelphia, April 21-The SUI
preme court reversed the decision of
the court of common pleas No. 5, in
the case of Napoleon LaJoie VS.. the
National League Baseball club. This
decision upholds the validity of the
reserve clause in the National league
contracts. LaJoie, who formerly
played second base for the National
league club in this city, signed
with the Philadelphia American
league club for the season of 1901 and
1902. The Philadelphia baseball club,
through Treasurer John L. Rogers,
entered suit to restrain LaJoi from
playing with the American league.
The lower court held that the reserve
clause was illegal, and Col. Rogers
carried the case to the supreme court,
where the decision was reversed. If
this decision stands, it will affect all
players who were subject to the re-
serve clause and who are now playing
with the American league.

brother-in-law and three brothers
were following, and in later years DIR.
Talmage was gratified to see his own
son Frank enter the ministry and he il
at the present time filling sue
cessful pastorate at Chicago. Mr..
Talmage completed his theological
training at the New Brunswick theo-
logical seminary in 1856.
He became pastor Of the Reformed
Dutch church in Belleville, n. j.
Later he went to Syracuse, and while
holding a passionate there he married
his first wife, Miss Avery, OF Brook
lyn. Soon after he went to Philadel-
phia as pastor of the Second Reformed
Dutch church, where he remained
seven years. While in Philadelphia
DR.. Talmage received three calls at
once. to Chicago, San Francisco and
Brooklyn. His fame as pulpit orator
had spread wide, and power to attract
worshipers to his church brought de-
mands for his services from many
places. 1t was in 1869 that he accept
ed the call to the Central Presbyterian
church of Brooklyn, n. Y.
DR.. Talmage preached in the old
church in Brooklyn for Is months and
then the congregation and member
ship outgrew the sanctuary. The or
ganization therefore decided to build
the first Brooklyn tabernacle. 1t was
in the form of Il horseshoe and in
closed half an acre. 1t was burned
in 1872, after standing two years, dur
ing which time the 3,40O seats proving
10 e tho hl1ild-
ing was increased 500 more. Work was
at once begun on new tabernacle,
which was dedicated February %, 1874,
with seats for 5000 persons. 1t was
then the largest Protestant church in
America. After the church edifice had
burned for the third time, in 1889, DR..
Talmage resigned his passionate or
25 years, not asking his congregation
to build a fourth time. In 1894 he ac-
copied a call to the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church in Washing
ton, D. c., and had made his home in
that city up to the time of his death.
DIR. Talmage's first wife was
drowned in the Schuylkill river during
his Philadelphia pastorate, and two
years later he married again, his wife
being Miss Susan c. Whittemore, of
Brooklyn, by whom he had several chill
dren. Two children, a boy and girl.
were born to him of his first marriage.
With the impressive funeral services
| in the Church of the Covenant at
Washington and the interment of the
remains in the family plot at Brook
Ign, passes from the activities of the
earth life one of the greatest factors
in the religious forces of the past
century, but his words and his deeds
live on. Like the ripples spreading out
in overwhelming circle, the influence
on the lives of the thousands who
heard and read his sermons will con-
tinue and Talmage, the great preacher,
though dead, will continue to speak.

HAM FAIR IN PARIS.
Peculiar Feature of Holy Week That
Has Been French Institution
for Centuries.

Ham Fair in Paris, is peculiar local
institution that has existed for CEN
turtles. 1t is always held at the close
of Holy Week, and had its origin in the
custom, more or less universal in many
European countries, for the peasants
to terminate the long fasts of Lent by
repasts in which ham figured as the
chief food. From the country the GUS
tom was introduced into the cities, and
everywhere throughout France, as, in
deed, generally throughout Europe,
the Easter morning breakfast consists
largely of fried ham, says a London
paper.
The "Ham Fair" is one of the few old
relics of a past age that exist prac-
ticaIly unchanged among the customs
of the Paris of to-day. Pretty much
the same sights are to be seen there
abouts these days as characterized the
fairs of hundreds of years ago. One
of the chief thoroughfares in the st.
Antoine quarter of the city, the Boule-
ward Richard-Lenoir, is the place where
the "Ham Fair" has been held for many
years. 1t is a wide street, admirably
suited for such purpose, for there is
ample room in the railway for the null
titude of booths and stalls of the ven
doris without blocking the ordinary
traffic. 1t is in a section of the city re-
nowned as the scene of many desperate
historical episodes, particularly during
the reign of terror, and which novel
lists have rendered familiar to Amer
lean readers by their description of it
as the hot-bed of the most dangerous
classes of the French capital. The Bas-
tile stood right in the heart of the
Quarter ST. Antoine.
From end to end of the long avenue
stretches a continuous chain of VEN
doris stalls of every conceivable vari-
ETY.. Some of them are big pretentious
booths, decked out in flags of all ma
lions and otherwise lavishly festooned,
but the majority of them are simply
improvised stands rugged from the
rear end of country wagons and push
carts.
In general appearance the thorough
fare looks not unlike an oldtime street
in many American cities on market
day. and before market houses were
common. close inspection, however,
reveals hundreds of odd sights and pic
turesque phases observed nowhere
else in the world outside of a Paris
s.Ham Fair To the residents of the
| quarter the occasion is general holi-
! day. They march up and down the
street, idling or marketing, as the case
NAV be, and renewing acquaintance
with friends from the country who had
not been seen in the neighborhood
since last years fair day. Peasants
| from all parts of France, in their dis
! tinctive costumes, ad infinite yari-
ETY. to the picture.
