Steamer Cottage City Aground
on Etelin Island.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 10.-The steamer
Cottage City, of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company went ashore at
1920 O'Clock Sunday night on Island
Point, Etelin island. Sticken strait, 70
miles south of Port Wrangle. She now
lies go feet forward on the rocks. Fifty
feet of keel are gone and her forefoot Is
dry at low water The steamer filled
and the hurricane deck to the top OF
the smoking room is under water at
high tide. The vessel is well sheltered
and it is believed a bulkhead can be
built inside and the ship foated. the
$50 passengers of the Cottage City were
transferred to the steamer Spokane OF
the same company, which came along
three hours after the accident They
were taken to Skagway and will return
south on the Spokane. The Cottage City
was bound for Seattle when the accident
occurred and was due to arrive here to-
morrow. One of the cargoes was jetti-
soned. The remainder of the cargo con-
Sisting chiefly of salmon was trans
ferred to lighters and gotten ashore.
Details of how the accident occurred
are yet lacking The Cottage City was
commanded by Capt. David Wallace.
accounts for the fact that she did not
break to pieces on the rocks. From Off
cial reports to the headquarters of the
company here it is said there is no
doubt that the vessel will be fioated and
repaired unless storms of unusual Sc
verity interfere. The Cottage City was
built in Bath, Me-, in 1891. She was
company around the Horn five years
ago. She was at once put on the Lynn
canal run, and has never been on any
other since coming to the Pacific.

the first night was the German Village.
A sign on the outside mentioned the fact
that refreshments were sold on the in
side. The barker, who explained to the
people that the wonders from all the
corners of the earth were on the inside,
never forgot to mention that refresh

pie who entered found a score of small

These images were seized by the

a native religious sect in the town of
Pagsangan, province of Laguna, while
the regiment was operating in that dis

PLAY CHAMPION GOLF.
Wind Interferes Somewhat With
Work on Wheaton Links.

Chicago, Sept. 10-Initial play in the
qualifying round for the western anna
teur golf championship was begun early
today on the links of the Chicago Golf
club at Wheaton. Much interest centers
about the competition for the George
r. Thorne trophy which is now held by
Western Champion Phelps B. Hoyt, So
of the best players of the crack western
clubs being entered for the event The
only prominent player who will not con-
test is National Champion Louis James
who is at Princeton. The qualifying
round today was al medal play, Sc holes.
A gold medal is the prize to the player
making the lowest score in the qualify
ing round. 1t is probable that double
bogey-S2 both out and in-will take the
medal and that all scores up to double
"a will Qualify. Thirty-two players with
lowest scores today will play off Thurs
day and Friday at Is holes and the two
survivors will play in the finals Satur-
day at SO holes. The Wheaton course is
in excellent condition and the weather
favors snappy playing.
AS playing progressed 1T became evil
dent that low records would not pre-
vail. A strong southwest wind swept
the course and worked against the stead
lest players. The prime favorite of the
morning was H. Chandler Egan of Elk
moor. who made the record of the course
yesterday in IS strokes. Today the score
for the first Is holes was: Out, AZ; in,
49,
Judging from his play, critics think
that III will take the gold medal for
low score. A number of players did not
start, among them Abe Poole, jr., the
well known Onwentsia-Princeton player
and Stevens Bull of Racine and L. c.
Miller of ST. Paul. Following are the

plenty of electric lights are used and
there is no danger of stumbling over
guy ropes. The midway is large, 300 by

crowds.
Exhibitions at 1890 o'clock at night
are given in the center of the midway

pie are at all interested in Aimee"
That reason is vociferous young man

The entertainment in the village was
quite good. There were songs and
dances and two Tyrolean singers, Hans
and Gretchen. who were dressed in the
proper costume and sang very well in
their class. The vaudeville turns lasted
half an hour 1.-THE next big show is
the Streets of India" announced an
other barker who had curly hair and
four horse power lungs. He said every
one might visit the streets which had
been imported from India and not be
shocked He guaranteed his hearers
that there was no hooche cooche inside.
His promises were kept. The perform
ance consisted of acrobatic turns, far
better than are seen with the average
companies on the road. The cyclists.
tumblers, the woman juggler and the
woman who performed on the flying
rings were the principal features.
The next big show to the right is the
rag time opera where crowd of darkies
sing and dance. Then there is the
unique theater where a moving picture
machine entertains the people. The
glass blowers and the armless wonder
