BIG S|EANER.GO[S DOWN
The Sy1vanus ]. Macy Founders on
Lake Erie During a Furi-
Gus Gale.
OFFICERS AND CREW PROBABLY DROWN
They Number Eighteen Men, and
Have Not Been Heard FrOm-The
BannOckburn, with Twenty Men,
Thought to Have Been Lost on
Lake Superior.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2S.-The steam
er Sylvanus ]. Macy, with crew of IS
men, went to the bottom of Lake Erie
Sunday night during a furious south
west gale. The news was brought
to Amherstburg Thursday by the
barge Mabel Wilson, which was in
tow of the wrecked steamer until the
gale parted them.
1t is also feared that the steamer
Bannockburn, with a crew of 20 men,
is lost in Lake Superior. The Ban
nockburn sailed from Port Arthur and
is overdue since last Friday. Tugs are
securing Lake Superior, but the ma
rine underwriters have given up the
steamer for lost.
AS the personnel of the crew of the
steamer changes at nearly every port
visited, complete list is not available
in the Office. The crew of the Macy
probably numbered IS, as that is the
number necessary to man a ship of
it's size.
The Macy, with the Wilson in tow,
left Buffalo last Saturday with a
Erie the gale was encountered and
when abreast of Port Burwell the tow
line of the barge was thrown off by
the crew of the Macy, leaving the
schooner to shift for itself. When
last seen by the crew of the Wilson
the Macy was laboring heavily in the
sea and was evidently making for

their ship before the plunge to the
bottom it is not believed that the
small boats could have lived long in
the terrible sea running. That moth
ing has been heard of them has con-
WINGED the owners that all are lost.
Five Miles of Wreckage.
News of the disaster was also re-
ported by Capt. j. J. Autterson, of the
steamer Albright, which passed up the
river early Thursday morning. He
reported having passed through five
miles of wreckage Wednesday 80 miles
southwest of Long Point, consisting
of parts of the cabin, life preservers,
and doors of some vessel. The cabin
was painted white, but there were
no distinguishing marks to tell what
vessel it was from. The arrival of the
Wilson, however, identified the wreck
age as from the Macy as the last seen
of that steamer was in the near vi
cinity.
The Macy was owned by P. j. Ralph
& Co. of Detroit, and was insured for
$4,000. 1t was one of the older type
of wooden steamers, registering 752
tons, and built in 1881.
Seventh in Four Months.
che sinking of the Macy comes as
grim finale to four months of dis
aster on Lake Erie. Since the opening
of August seven vessels have either
plunged to the bottom of the lake
through storm or fire, or have had
their timbers strung along its shore
in the seasons blasts. Up to the time
of this last disaster 10 lives have been
lost in wrecks.

An English writer maintains that
the foul air in smoking rooms greatly
diminishes the pleasure derived from
tobacco. He calls attention to the
fact that pipe of tobacco, when
smoked in the open fresh air, and par
ticularly on a bright day with sharp
wind blowing, is peculiarly fragrant.
The effect, he adds, is enhanced by
ozone, and tobacco smoke in the pres
ence of static electoral apparatus de-
velops very agreeable aroma.

The 1902 rice crop of Japan, accord
ing to a recently issued estimate of the
Japanese department of agriculture
and commerce, shows a decrease of
upwards of Is per cent. from the ex-
traordinarily heavy crop of the pre-
Vious year. That the present crop,
however, can not be called poor one,
is indicated by the fact that, as COM
pared with the average crop of the
four previous years (1S9S-190D, it
shows decrease of less than one-half
of 1 per cent.

A Newspaper is a
Business.

Congressman W. S. Melick of Illinois
expresses his opinion regarding news
papers IN the following forceful manner:
"In the first place a newspaper is not
philanthropic institutions; il is bread
and butter and sometimes molasses to
its proprietor.
Its space is its life. That space should
be given either to publish the news and
editorials or to be up for sale to those
who have business to promote and want
others to know it.
The newspaper which let's others use
it to grind their axes, gives away it's own
bread and butter.
Notices of the entertainments, an-
nouncements that do not enrich anyone,
and resolutions of a public nature may
be, and usually are, news items and are
published free; but notices of entertain
ments for which fee is charged, or an
nouneements which promote the inter
ests of person or set, and resolutions
which simply crafty an individual lodge
or church or any other set, ought to be
paid for when published.
If an advertiser uses paper which is
going into homes and yet does not obtain
results, it is because the readers are not
/ buying what is offered or else the ad
itself does not offer the inducement
Carelessly worded ads are stale and are
an abomination.
We warrant that enough money is
wasted each year in advertising on cir
culars, programs, pamphlets, reports
cts, to build the Nicaragua canal"
