A Launch Run Down by a Steamer,

in Half.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-The Della
ware steamer Columbia, on its way
from this city to Bristol, Pa. Sunday

about 10 miles north of here, grinding
It to pieces and causing the drowning

The dead are: Joseph Fortescue,
owner Of the launch; Wade Auday,
Thomas Duffy, Thomas Corvesci, An

ep Pfromer and Engineer Jas. Briggs.
The accident was the tragic ending

made up from among few of his
friends. The day was spent in a cruise
up the river as far as Trenton The

the Pennsylvania shore on the run

reached near Andalusia, the Columbia
suddenly Ioomed up on the darkness.
Fortescue jammed his wheel to star
board, but just moment too late.
The big steamer struck the launch
squarely in the middle, and cut it in
half, throwing all the occupants into
the water.
A terrible shrek went up. as the

panic among the passengers on the Co

SUMMER GIRLS FAILURE.
Rugged Herself Up to Make a Hit
But Her Finery All
Wilted.

Once upon a time there was a girl
who decided that she would be the
real thing in the summer girl line.
relates a st. Paul Globe writer. Be-
fore the snow melted she was plan
ming a wardrobe that would bring
down any summer youth from a mil
lionaire prospective to Dry Goods
clerk. She embroidered all her shirt
waists by hand, and made seven sets
of turn-overs before the summer
styles were settled, only to learn that
they were wearing 1880 yokes. She
bought a white silk drop skirt for her
null dress, and then her poor old
mother had to go without a new sum-
mer hat so that daughter could have
the real thing in lingerie hat to
go with the silk drop skirt. Father
was driven to the verge of nervous
prostration by the domestic discussions
of skirt yokes and the best thing in
color combinations, and brother Jimmy
lost his half-holiday chasing down
cerise near-silk when she wanted
cherry lining for her lawn dress.
The clerks at the stores all got to
know her-she had so many goods
exchanged-and when at last she pulled
out for Jersey town with two trunks
and a dress suit case her old father
said: "This is Heaven" and her
mother stopped taking nerve cuse.
But the girl found she was up
against it after all. Her dresses faded
and dropped in the sea air and so did
her hair. Sitting up nights sewing
had made her sallow, and she squinted
from doing fine embroidery. The girl
who made hit with the few summer
boys in sight wore the same linen
dress three days running and had only
one party dress to her name. But she
had the real thing in eyes and dim
Piles. So the girl who had meant to be

CLAIMS CREDIT FOR HEIR.
As Recompense for Her Advice, DR..
Mary Walker, Asks Gar to Stop
War with Japan.

DR.. Mary Walker is claiming credit
for the fact that the cars new baby
is a son instead of a daughter. The
doctor says if she had not volunteered
her advice there would have been ar
other grand duchess in the palace in
stead of czarevitch.
All that DR.. Walker wants of the
czar in return for the favor she has
done is that he stop the war with
Japan.
Give Japan the harbor," DR.. Walker
has written from Oswego to the czar
She does not specify which harbor,
but pretty nearly any harbor will do,
she thinks.
The following is copy of an open
letter DR.. Walker has written to the
czar:
ITO the Car of All Russia-Dear
Sir: In congratulating yourself and
the mother of your son, l most re-
spectfully and earnestly request you
to make peace with Japan.
Give japan the harbor.
But for my professional advice you
would not now be the father of a son
heir The world will rejoice and say
that you would gladly have done this
one year since as the price of the as
surance of son.
Il did not give information that has
resulted so gratifyingly for the pur-
pose Of asking reward Of any nature,
but circumstances are such at the
present time that l expect you 20
grant therein above asked action.

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March I'll
Mrs. A. l.. Smith of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass on. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow. even the whites
OF her eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us no encour-
agement. they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell. OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about a dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally.
when she Is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith. for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.
