LOST IN A FOG.
The Fishing Schooner Gloriana is
Wrecked on Whale Cove.
FIFTEEN LIVES LOST IN WRECK.
There Are Only Three Survivors
and They Had to See Their
Companions Die Be fore
Their Eyes.

A dispatch from Canso, n. S., says
the American fishing schooner Clio
riana, Capt. George Stoddart Of G!ou-
cester, Mass, rand ashore during a
thick fog on the cliffs at Whale Cove,
near White Point ledges, Wednesday
night and Is Of the crew, including
the captain, were drowned out of a
total Of IS.
The survivors are John Richards,
Eugene Leblanc and Frank Nicker-
son. The drowned are Capt. George
Stoddart of Gloucester, Armsworth
Thomas, Eli Manson, Ansel Goodwin,
Reuben -Surr, Harry French, Fred
Doucette, Thomas Frazier, George
Y. Muizee, Martin Goodwin, Alex
Hanson, Charles Pierce, John Moul-
song, Arthur Bonaghan and one un-
known.
The Gloriana left the northeast bar
Of Sable island "Wednesday afternoon
bound for CanSo. There was a heavy
easterly gale blowing, with thick fog.
The vessel was kept under short sail,
and it is presumed that Capt. Stoddart
believed be had plenty Of sea room.
When the Gloriana struck on the
ledges she passed>over the outer ones,
but brought up on the inner reef, but
ted against cliff Of rocks and then
fell off into the sea. When the vessel
struck the cliff Richards, Leblanc and
Nickerson were on deck and they ran
forward, rushed out in the b0wsprit
and climbed up the cliff to a place OF
safety beforea receding wave carried
the vessel off again. The others Of
the crew who were below rushed on
deck half clad and started to lower
the dories. AS soon as each boat
touched the water it was smashed to
pieces.
The high seas were breaking clean
over the vessel and she swung broad
side on the ledges and commenced
pounding heavily. Lines were thrown
ashore from the schooner several
times, but they were either broken
or torn from their fastenings on the
rocks by the surging of the vessel.
Four of the crew jumped overheard
and attempted to swim ashore, but
they we're caught in the breakers,
dashed against the rocks and killed in
the attempt. The others who wer;
on the vessel took to the rigging and
clung there while their strength
lasted, but the enormous seas were
more than they could battle against
and one by one they were swept away.
The three men on the rocks could see
their companions c!inging to the rig
ging and their shouts for help above
the roar of the sea, but it was impos-
sible to do anything to save them.
The three survivors spent a terrific
night on the cliffs. When daylight
dawned they saw, one man still cling
ing to the rigging, and made their.
way to the mainland for assistance.
The shore folk hurried to the scene OF
the wreck and the man was taken
from the rigging, but he was dead.
The place where the Glorlana was
wrecked is one of the most dangerous
on the Nova Scotia coast. 1t is less
than a mile from where the steamer
Blaamanden was totally wrecked last
year and only a half mile from the
scence of the wreck Of the steamer
Tiber in February, 1902, when %

to secure an accurate estimate Of the
dead. The discipline of the crew was
admirable anG women irst," was tine
initial command of Capt. Tunnell after
the lifeboatS had been prepared for
lowering. The first two boats from the
Hamilton first made brief survey Of
that vessels condition and seeing that
no serious injury had been sustained,
FASTENED to the Saginaw.
C. K. Berwin Of New York was one
of the passengers on the steamer Ham
ilton, which was in the collision. II S
account of the wreck is graphic. He
said:
Fog settled down like pail "a the
ocean about o'clock Tuesday night.
Suddenly when we were two hours
late Wednesday morning. six bells
rang and l knew something was wrong.
The crash came next and. a grinding
which made the ship shiver. Nothing
had happened to our ship below. The
Saginaw appeared with 20 feet 0f her
stern torn completely away. l could
look right into the steamer. At that
timeshe was still afioar, but She quick
ly disappeared in the dense fog and
sank just l9 minutes after the crash.
The first thought was for our own safe
ty and our own boats were lowered and
the hull examined. When it was
found that she was net injured then
the captain and his crew turned to-
ward the other boat, hoping to save
some human lives. When the llanll-
ton circlsd and We again saw the
steamer through the fog and mist only
her two masts were showing, as She
had scuttled and was resting quietly
on the bottom. 1t was providential
that the sea vas quiet. Our boats
brought OF l6 people, four OF whom
were white. The captain was lashed
to the mast with one white passenger,
but two OF his ribs were broken. So
great was the confusion that one man
put life preScrvers on his feet and
when seen later vas drowned floating
feet up. E. B. Cole Of Philadelphia,
who was saved from the Saninaw, had
Just sold out his business in Newport
News and was en- route home. He
placed s70a and a diamond pin be-
meath his pillow before retiring. WheD
the crash cane all thought Of valua-
bles was forgotten and he sought safe
ty on deck. When he remembered bis
money he started below, but he was
driven back by the waters. Mr.. Cole

THE TALE OF A TAIL.
HncIe Bill Shows That Horse Hair Will Turn Into a Snake i'm
 the Water.

"Y' want U know how thet old legend started about horse hairs turnin' inter snakes if y leave 'em in water over night?" asked Uncle Bill, vouehsafes the New York Sun. Wal, now, thet old legend,' as y call 1t, is gospel truth.
 "Jest you take a horse hair an put 1t in bottle uf water an But, say, didn't you ever hear uf how Jedge Morton's old gray mare died? Wal, wal, wal! There's a heap of things you city fellers don't know about, after all.
 Why, tn jedge kept this mare A1f his own in tn cow barn. Twas 8 ramshackle old buildin' an tn roof leaked considerable But thet didn't make much difference ontil one night along in April when we had a rain storm.
 "Now I've seen some pretty likely rainstorms in my time, but this here pertic'lar one was calc'lated t make all tn rest uf 'em look like sunshine durin' 8 dry spell.
 Next mornin' when the jedge went out t tn barn t look things over he found tn old mare sound asleep in two feet .uf water. He jest stood there a-lookin', wonderin' how in tar nation he'd get all tn water outer tn barn, again, when all -uf sudden he gave a start thet almost woke tn mare.
 Her tail all seemed t be sort uf a-squirmin' round like. He looked closer, an, sure as you're sittin' there, every hair in tn pesky crit tur's tail had turned into a strappin' big rattlesnake
 Naturally, tn jedge was sort uf upsot when. he first discovered all this. But when he got over his sur prise some. he took tn matter philo- sophically. an seemed pleased more'n otherwise'
 Why, next winter he said, sthet there rattlesnake tail I'll do instead uf sleighbells. Tn old mare II look right hobby hitched up t tn cutter
 But Medusa--he always called tn mare Medusa after .thet-she wasn't destined t live thet long. Durin' tn summer when she'd whisk her tail around t bresh. th' flies off, them rep tiles would snap 'em off an eat lem. They finally grew so fat an heavy on this fly diet thet tn poor old mare couldn't pull her own tail, let alone a wagon.
 Besides, snakes don't sleep tn same hours as hosses an tn awful rattlin' at night kept Medusa awake At last the poor crittur died. Her tail, broken-hearted for tn most part, didn't long survive her.
 Whats thet y say?" asked Uncle Bill.
 NO, so far as know, Jedge Nor ton never teched a drop of liquor in his life"

A WONDERFUL DOG.
He Was Pointer That Never Made a Mistake, as Was Clearly
 Proven

They were talking about the almost human intelligence exhibited by dogs on some occasion. Several anecdotes had been related of the wonderful in- tellect of canines when an army of- icer, who is connected with the cav airy arm of the service, stepped into the ring and squared himself for a good one. He is something of a sportsman and knows good dog when he sees one, so that his story was lis tened to with more than usual interest by his friends, relates the Washington Star. s
 ''It was down in Texas several years ago that I came across the greatest dog I ever saw or heard of,'' he said. "The animal belonged to a friend of mine and was the greatest quail dog you ever saw. We have taken that dog out day after day and he wouTd never go wrong, and would point quail in the most unlookedfor places. One day we were walking into town from the army post where was stationed, this friend of mine and I, and we had the dog along. As we were walking along the road carelessly a well- dressed stranger passed us. No soon- CT had the man passed on than the dog stuck his tail in the air and assumed the attitude recognized as pointing. It was some time before we were able to determine what he was pointing. but finally came to the determination that he was pointing the stranger, which proved to be correct. We called to the man and asked him if he had any quail about him or if he had eaten any quail, explaining why we asked. He said he had nothing of the kind and did not remember having eaten any for some months. Turning to my friend said:
 "sYour old dog has gone wrong
 "sNot bit of it, he replied. That dog is right and I'll bet you ten he is.'
 'I did not see then how the bet was going to be settled, but took it up any. way, and we continued on to town We went to the biggest hotel in the place to get some refreshments and there saw the stranger we had met on the road. My friend asked the clerk who the stranger was, and the clerk pointed to the register. As soon as my friend saw the name he gave yell and called me to come over there.
 "sGive me your money, my boy That dog knew what he was doing when he pointed that man.
 "To satisfy myself I glanced at the register and saw the strangers name It was Robert F. Partridge!' Truly that was the most wonderful dog ] ever saw or heard of"

of a pagoda you rub shoulders with the victims, in the markets, on the streets you jostle them, and yet you do not seem to feel the repugnance stranger not used to such sights would feel.
 Even we, with long experience of Burmah, find much that is new and in teresting in the Golden City, once the Citadel of the Lord of the White Ele- phant and the Golden Throne. But there is one sight, one institution, one enduring memorial for which we are not indebted to the past. The Man aw Yaman," the royal garden, where St. Johns leper asylum is situated, is the home of many miserable creatures, to whom even parental doors are closed; it is the home of the afhict- ed and the despised, the home of hid eous sights and repulsive objects. AL most all the countries, of Europe are1 allied in the work of mercy carried on at this institution; priests and nurs- ing sisters, who have given up home and friends to minister to these most miserable of creatures, are joined in their labor of love- .,e
 Inch by inch the asylum has grown, until now it has attained the position of being ranked as one of the most noble institutions not only in Burmah, but in the whole world. It had very, humble beginning, as most things in this world have. It was shortly after the annexation of Upper Burmah, or, to be more accurate, in 1888, that the late Bishop Simon addressed the au- thorities on the subject of 1epers, but it was not till 1891 that Rev Father Wehinger, following the example of the immortal Father Damien, of Mo- loka, Hawaii was able to found the St. Johns leper asylum on a, grant of six acres of land just outside Manda- lay. The beginning was necessarily on very small scale, and when it is taken into conside deration that the num- Der of lepers In Burmah at that time was variouslyg estimated at anything between 1s,0O0 and S0,OoO, it is not at all surprising to learn that all avail able space was mmediately filled up,
 From the appalling figures quoted above of those affected, 1t is very evi- dent that asylums such as the St.

4 UPPER INSTITUTION
One in Burma That Is Doing Great s~ Good for the Afflicted.
From Small Beginnings 1t Has Risen to a Point Where Every Nation
 of Europe Is Interested In Is Maintenance.

Yhe question of leprosy is not mod ern one. From the most ancient times it has, perhaps, occupied the minds of scientists. It has been threshed out in it's most salient points again and again, but up to date no one has been able to find what might be termed 8 cure for this most terrible of human scourges.
 Here in the east. and in Burnah in particular, one grows callous at the several and ghastly sights one sees. Leprosy in all its worst forms stalks rampant through the streets and thoroughfares. Ascending the steps

Johns were not only very useful, but absolutely necessary, as being the only means of regenerating nation almost entirely imbued with the leprosy vii rus, and so slowly but certainly stamp ing out the terrible disease. But, un- der the circumstances, nothing could be done, new wards had to be built, and to do this money was needed.
 Sufficient not being available local ly, the idea struck Father Wehinger to try fresh fields and pastures new, so, in 1895, with the permission of his ecclesiastical superior, he undertook a voyage to Europe on begging tour. The reception he met with in the sev- eral countries he visited was, to say the least, enthusiastic.
 After an absence of three years, Fa- ther Wehinger returned to Burmah, and at once set in hand the erection of the new wards, with the aid of M. Blin, architect and engineer.
 The buildings grew apace, and on December 27, 1900, the foundation- stone of the new chapel asylum was laid. The chapel measures no feet by | 50 feet.
 Proof of the fact that the good work being done was not unnoticed was amply provided when Father We hinger's name appeared in the kings first birthday honors list as having been awarded the silver medal of the 1 Kaiser-i-Hind, which decoration was presented to him by Lord Curzon when l his excellency visited Mandalay in No vember, 1901, and formally opened the seven new wards of the asylum.
