THIRTY-THRFE MEN
ARE PERHAPS LOST
Would Not Be Taken From
Steamer Which IS Threat
ened With Destruction


NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Efforts to
learn whether Capt. Nicholson and 1.-THE
crew of the British tramp steamer
Drumelzier are still aboard the steamer
which is aground on the bar at Fire
Island have been unsuccessful and to-
night the life savers were still watch
ing from the beach in the hope of conn
municating with the ship.
Hidden in a black fog and pounded
by fierce seas rolling from the. soUtd-
east, the steamer tonight was in i'm
minent danger of going to pieces. If
her captain and crew Of 80 men are
still on the ship they face an almost
certain death in the heavy surf break
ing over the sandy beach.
The captain would not LET the life
savers take off his crew yesterday when
the seas were not running so high and
today it was too late to help them.
No lifeboat could be launched in the
teeth of the southeast gale that was
blowing up great waves and crashing
them down on the shore. The fog was
SO thick that the stranded vessel could
not be seen from the shore 200 yards
away. Out on the sand bar, where the
big vessel was seen rocking in the
waves last night, there was nothing
visible today but a black haze.

So far as the case in court is con-

Providence, r.. l., June 1S.-The one

Enent at Brown University began sun
day with the baccaiaureate sermon
delivered by President William II. r
Eaunce.
President Faunce said in part:
'The American nation is regarded by
impartial observers as agile rather
than profound in intellect. Whatever
The goal, we arrive there while other
peoples are considering how to start.
Yet we stand outside the realm of
fipened wisdom and assurance and as
Durance and stable conviction.
1.-THE men of our time are more at
tached to expedient than to principles,
preferring action to thought. We have
marvellous inventors. but few scien-
fists Of the first rank; excellent writ
ers of school books. few authorities in
theologians whose voices are heard in
Europe, skillful expositors of philoso-
phy, no thinkers who rank with those
OF lands where thought has had time to
breed and ripen before actions begins.
Our age Is strenuous to the breaking

GAME OF ALPHABET CARDS.
This is game the boys and girls Of

This is game the boys and girls OF
Japan are very fond Of playing.
The cards have to be made at home,
as in this country the game of alphabet
cards is not known. Get fifty-two small
white cards or pieces of paper. On
twenty-six OF them write well known
short proverbs, each beginning with
different letter of the alphabet. Then
on the other twenty-six cards draw IL
Illustrations of the proverbs.
When ready for the game the chill
dren range themselves in circle, and
the cards are shuff1ed and dealt. One
reads a proverb that he holds in his
hand, and the player who holds the pic
ture corresponding to it calls out, and
the match is made. Those who are
first to dispose of their cards win, and
the holder of the last card Is the loser.
Certain forfeits are imposed. The little
Japs are rather severe in this forfeiting
business, and if the loser is boy his
face is marked with ink; if girl, she
has a paper or wisp of straw stuck In
her hair.

A surprising feat may be accomplish

the experiment Is performed, thrust a

it is very hot--too hot to hold: then
stand it without delay mouth down

King. Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helene love their daughters dearly, just
as much as If they were lucky enough
to be plain American citizens, yet they
are not quite happy because those sweet
little girls are not boy children. In It
ally the unjust old Salic law is still in
force, and the Salic law declares that
no woman shall sit on the throne OF
that country as ruler. 1t is odd that
Italy should still hold to this law when

Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria

built. The two children are bright. at
tractive little girls. Yolanda has dark
hair and eyes, while tiny Mafalda has
blue eyes and golden hair. Many peo-
pie are hired to look after the prin-
cesses night and day. but the mistress
over them all Is Miss Dickens, an Eng
fish governess, from whom the children
learn our language. Miss Dickens
makes the princesses obey her just as
il they were common children, and. in
deed, they are not bit better or
brighter than other peoples children
for all they are the daughters of king.
Yolanda's chief amusement is driving
in her donkey cart, which you see in
the picture. She insisted on holding the
reins and guiding the gentle donkeys
with her own hands when she was only
a little past two years old. She has a
strong will, and it made her very an
cry when the groom who went driving
with the children would take the reins
from her. Once. though, when she was
not watching the donkeys they became
frightened and started to run, and the
strong willed child princess was tum-
bled into the grass. The fall did not
injure her body, but her pride got ar

to send a second message from the

where he could look over the passen-

role of master lumbernen, and in these
two Thorpe recognized DAILY and Nor

ten feet of him, talking earnestly to-

faction heard them call the name Of

1t was still two hours before the land
office would be open.
Thorpe repaired at once to boarding
house off Fort street. where he had
"outtitted" three months before. There
he reclaimed his valse shaved. clothed
himself in linen and cheviot once more
and sauntered slowly to the land office
to await its opening.
At o'clock neither of the partners
had appeared. Thorpe entered the Of

said with the deliberation of the con-
sciously great man. II have few de-
