DECKS SWEPT BY FLAMEs.

The fire started in the lower part of
the steamer in the freight material, or
possibly in the engine room, and shut
off the means of escape there, while
passengers jumped overheard from
the upper decks. Within ten minutes
after the discovery OF 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 would have en-
sued if the officers had been able TO
control the terror striken people. Some
rushed through the flames and perish
ed; others tainted and saDk down to
be cremated. Many in their night
robes, some OF them afire, jumped over
board and were drowned.

HIMSELF ON NOSE
rArily Retired a Prominent PLY.
Sician of London

A London medico has struck out
new line by vaccinating himself on
the nose. He does not claim any
credit for the innovation, however.
Neither, to say the truth, is the ex-
ample likely to be largely followed in
fashionable or questionable society.
The doctor was really the victim Of
curious accident. During a vac
cination sitting he absent-mindedly
scratched his nose to allay slight
tickling sensation. Perhaps there was
already an abrasion of the skin, or
perhaps he used more energy than he
knew. At any rate, the lymph was intro
dused into the nose of. the operator.
The vaccine "took" and some time
later it began to get in its work.
The doctor became aware of the dis
tressing, rather than alarming symp-
toms, and the unnatural appearance
Of the vaccinated nose soon dispelled
the mystery of the strange disease.
For q few days until the proboscis
assumed a more normal aspect, tho
doctor turned over his patients to
the care of a brother medico and re-
tired into private life. He will now
be able to appear on an anti-vaccina-
ton platform. =.

TRUANTS FEAR NEW LAW.
German School Statute, Which IL Not
Yet Operative, IL Doing Much
Good.

Germany is undergoing a novel ex-
perience in seeing law exercise the
direct moral effect for which it was de-
vised before it has become operative.
Last years reichstag passed COM
pulsory education bill, decreeing that
after April, 1902, children proved to be
regular truants should be taken from
home and required to eat, sleep and
live in the schoolhouses, altogether re-
moved from parental influence and
surroundings.
This law was found necessary. be-
cause the former system of fning and
imprisoning parents of truants failed
permanently to reform either them or
the children.
Statistics now compiled in Dresden,
Hamburg, Berlin, Hanover, Breslau,
Leipzig and Munich indicate that the
mere fear of the law has been effective
in reducing truancy to the lowest point
known in the German schools. The
teachers predict that by the time the
law becomes effective the need for it's
existence will have been practically
obviated.

Ernest Heilmann, one of Germany's
foremost portrait artists, has fin
ished life-size portrait of Dora
Dean, handsome young Indianapo-
lis colored woman, posed in a cake
walk attitude. The picture will be
hung in the spring exhibition of the

tilted "Miss Dean" to permit him to
idealize it.

WAR ON WOMEN JOURNALISTS.
Men Who Are Employed on London
Papers Are Afraid of Amer
lean Writer'S.

War has been declared upon the
women journalists of London by the
male writer's for the metropolitan
daily press. The entire writing staff
of men on the London Chronicle have
united in a demand upon the propri-
etors of that paper to reduce the pay
of the women writer's one-third. This
demand was granted the other day
and the pay of the women cut accord
ingly.
The movement is spreading. It is
said that the men writer's on other big
newspapers are contemplating the
demand for absolute dismissal of the
women. Many of the women are
Americans. ..-...
Editors have found out that bright
young American women can give
splendid service as special writer's, and
their number employed on the daily
press has been steadily increasing. "A
state of panic seems to have seized
upon the young and old men employed
in journalism, and the future is full of
anticipations. - = T. go.

His Hypnotic Spell Has Made IN
Actress Famous. -

DR.. John Duncan Quackenbos, pro-
lessor emeritus of psychology in Co
lumbia, astonished his associates of
the Medico-Legal society at New York
the other night by telling them how
a young actress, whose name was not
given, bounded into fame in single
night under hypnotic spell. The
spell was put upon her by Dr.. Quacken-
bos' who is one of the greatest authors
ties on hypnotism in the world.
Thrown into hypnotic condition
again and again before she appeared,
her own personality was tor . time.
submerged. She was told what she
could do and what she must do. She
was told of her own powers and her
ability to use them. All fear and
timidity were taken from her mind and
the subconscious self that psycholo-
gists know is hidden in each human
being was brought into control,E said
the professor.
When awakened the inspiration
given remained with the actress. IN
consciously her :subconscious self APP
peared in her work and directed her

John BROWN PAPER FOUND
Noted Abolitionist Have Re
Gently Been Discovered.

The Richmond (Va.) papers print
what are known as recently discov-
cred John Brown papers, 2 which
were found in lot of rubbish in
the state library. It cannot be said
that they throw any additional light
on the John. Brown raid into .Vir-
ginia, which resulted in his :4rrest
and execution. There is not scratch
OF John BroWn's pen among them.
They are of two classes, letters to
Brown and his fellow prisoners, and
letters from tho prisoners to per-
sons throughout the country. The
prisoners, it. is supposed, never saw
the letters sent to them, and the let
tiers written by them were never
mailed. 49, .... - - H., s5zss-
Those to Brown and his associates
,aEe7 for the" most part signed with
initials only, and no prominent per-
sons can be identified with them.
They are largely from correspon-
dents in New England, Ohio and In
diana. Two letters to Brown from
his sister Elizabeth are both poetic
and pathetic, and it is evident she
had no conception of the fate that
wsain. store for him. From marks
onsizt VT is shown that they we're
inssltes Andrew Hunter, Of the
prosecution, or Gov. Wise. What
value there is in the letters, If any,
lies in their showing the widespread
sympathy throughout the north with
John Browns desperate venture.
The letters from the prisoners tell
nothing. ..>r
Search is now being made for a
carpet bag of Browns, said to be
hidden in the roof of the capitol
building, and to contain his diary
and some of his documents. Many,
however, doubt the existence of such
a historical Treasure trove." Sew

and written from the north,. ex-
pressed pleasure that Brown had
been captured. It. is not at all GER
tain that some of the letters have
not been published before. In not
a few cases the letters to Brown and
his band are written in red ink.

Cos4& Of Trans-siberian road.

The Odessa correspondent of the
London Times and New York Times
says, reticence is shown by the Rus
sian official. publications in regard to
the actual cost of the trans-Siberian
railway. According to the Odessa
Novosti. the line, when it was begun
ten years ago, was estimated to cost
100000, 600 rubles ($1s0, 25O, 000), but
the difference, estimated and actual,
up to year ago, was over 430, OoO,-
600 rubles. Before the line can pos
sibly be put in working order, says
the correspondent, there is reason to
believe that the total cost will, be
over 1,ooo,o0o,ooo rubles ($515, 200, oo0).

OUR SUGAR IMPORTS.
Those of Last Year Will Exceed
Record Of Any Previous Year.
Over -Four Billion and Half Pounds
Of the Sweet Stun Brought Into
THIS Country to Fill the Sweet =.
Tooth of Uncle Sam. H..

Sugar imports into the United
States in the calendar year 1901 will
exceed those of any preceding year by
about 250, DOC, 900 pounds, and the cost
viii be greater than any preceding
year except 1893, when prices were nn-
usually high. The total importations
OF sugar in the year about to end will,
according to the treasury bureau Of
statistics, aggregate 4,670, 900 600
pounds, and the cost about $115, 00o,-
600. The highest record of sugar inn
portations in any preceding year were,
In quantity, those Of 1899, 1899, 749, o7s
pounds; while in vadlue, the figures
Of 1898 made the highest record, s12s,-;
os3,217. .-r.2., -: j i.
The estimate of the bureau of stats
tics for the calendar year 1901 is based
upon the actual figures of importa-
tions from foreign countries for ten
months ending with October, to which
are added the actual figures of sugar
shipped from Hawaii to- the United
States. To these are added estimates
for November and December both
from foreign countries and Hawaii,
and for the full year from Porto Rico:
this method of obtaining the Hawaiian
and Porto Rican figures being neces-
sary by reason of the fact. that COM
merce with those islands is no longer
included in the statistics of the foreign
commerce of the United States. This
shows an increase of about 30 per cent.
in the sugar importations into the
United States in the decade, the fig
uress for 1891 being 1879, 7s9, 1854 pounds
against 4,672,0OO, 900 in 1901, the actual
increase in the decade thus being in
round terms 1,ooo,ooo,ooo pounds. The
enormous quantity can perhaps be bet
ter realized when it is stated that, &C.
cepting the average car load at 10000
pounds, the sugar importations of
1901 would be sufficient to load $4,000
cars. In addition to this enormous fig
ure of 4,670,000,000 pounds imported,
the sugar production in the United
States for the year is presumably
about 6oo,o00,00O pounds, this having
been about the annual average during
recent years.

p. R. R. TUNNEL FRANCHISE.
Public Hearing on Application Held
In New York-Speeches For
and Against.

New York, Oct 3.-There was a
large attendance at the public hear
ing of the Pennsylvania railroad tun-
mel franchise yesterday. Among those
present were President William H.
Baldwin, of the Long Island railroad !;
John P. Green, first vice president OF
the Pennsylvania railroad; Aldermen
James Beck and Goodman, John d.
Crimmins and L. J. Callahan.
A protest against the granting OF
the franchise was read by Adolph
Bloch a lawyer, representing the
owner of 26 houses on the south side
of Thirty-frst street, between Eighth
and Ninth avenues.
S. B. Donnel1y, of the Central Fed,
Grated union, was the first speaker
He began by saying that labor's de
mands. as far as the franchise was
concerned, were not exorbitant. They
merely asked, he said, for a minimum
rate of pay for the workers employed
the recognition OF the eight-hour law
and the employment OF citizens. The
tunnel would be an excellent thing fo1
the Long Island and Pennsylvania
railroads, he continued, and for tbs
people generally, but he argued thai
that was no reason why what the la
borers asked regarding the construc
ton of the work should not be granted
Abram S. Hewitt read resolutions
passed by the chamber Of commerce
at its meeting yesterday, favoring the
tunnel. They were in effect that the
building of the tunnel would NEAR
the expenditure by the railroad com
pany of $50,000,0o0 during period
Of many years and that the demands
of organized labor could not be
legally complied with, and that In
sistence would mean the prevention
OF the improvement.
Others spoke for and against grant
ing the franchises.
