STEAMER WAS SUNK.
Story Of Terrible Experience Is Told
BY Two Survivors.

London, Dec. 3.-A story Of terrible
experiences is told by the two sur
vivors OF the crew of nine of the
steamer Blanche which was sunk in
the Mercy river in q collision. They
escaped in a life boat which imme.
diately was dashed against the sink
ing steamer, three of the seamen be-
ing drowned. The remaining six
righted the boat and rowed away, but
were buifeted by the waves, which
soon filed the boat with freezing wa
ter. Two more died Of exposure.
Again the boat was capslzed but the
four survivors by superhuman efforts
managed to scramble in again, Though
almost dead from cold, they renewed
their effors to reach shore but two
more succumbed before, at 2 o'clock
Thursday morning, the life boat
struck shore at Formby and the two
survivors painfully dragged the boat
and lis gruesome cargo through the
surf to land, having been seven hours
in the boat without food or water.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They arc Healthy.

Because They arc Healthy.
Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true Of other articles of food, What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an illustration-anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup Of Postum
coffee with spoonful or two Of
Grape-Nuts poured in, and such com
bination contains nourishment to car
ry one a number of hours, for almost
every particle of it will be digested
and taken up by the system and be
made use of.
A lady writes from the land Of the
Magnolia and the hooking bird way
down in Alabama and says: II was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous, Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well known physicians
for my children, and | feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived,
milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, give Postum with
plenty Of sweet cream, 1t agrees with

perfectly although she is Of a consl.

For the youngest, aged two and

children began using Postum, and
they enjoy every drop Of 1t.

Burlin to connect the street railroad
systems north and south of Inter Den

bought and permit Of developing them
in connection with the five other lines
which the city is also buying. The

$250,000 Worth OF properly Destroy
ed BY Fire.
New York, Dec. TEN persons
were injured and $25O,OOO worth Of
property destroyed as the result OF
explosions caused by a spark leak
ing from a gasoline machine on
which a chauffeur was working in
an automobile storage.
Forty automobiles were destroyed
or badly damaged, and SO rapid was
the progress Of the fire that men
working in the second story Of the
building had no opportunity Of es-
cape by way of the stairways and
were forced to leap from the win
dows.
The sparks which started the fire
communicated with a tank holding
100 gallons of gasoline. There were
40 automobiles in the building and
the dense smoke prevented the res.
cue of the majority of them.
The 1O0.gallon tank exploded soon
after the fire started and spread the
flames to other tanks, and in a short
time there were distinct explosions
filling the entire building with fire
and smoke
The garage is in the heart of the
theater and hotel district of Broad
way, and rumor spread that the Met
ropolitan opera house and several Of
the big hotels were doomed. An i'm
mense crowd gathered and police
reserve were summoned to keep The
people out Of danger.
The garage was practically de-
stroyed, but little damage was done
to nearby property.

What Coin Loses BY Abrasion.

1t is well known that coin in circu.
lation loses weight by abrasion, but an
additional loss results from the same
cause in shipment to Europe. An in
stance has been cited in Wall street
circles where as much as one thirty
second per cent has been lost through
abrasion alone in shipping gold coin,
which would be at the rate Of more
than $500 in a shipment Of 100000.

Many Met Death In Battle Field With
Russians. !,
500 CoRpSES ARE COLLECTED.
Owing to the Fire Of the Japanese It
Is Reported That There Are Still
One Thousand Dead Japanese
Which It Was Impossible to Col
Iect.

Mukden, Dec. i-lnere Is per
sistent rumor that the force Of Jap
anese sent to turn General Kennen-
kampff's flank has been repulsed
with great loss, The story is not yet
officially confirmed, but details are
given with great Enthusiastically. 1t
Is stated that General Rennenkampff
who knew the movement was matur-
ing awaited the Japanese al the
mouth of one captured passes, and
that the Japanese turning force
threw themselves unsuspectingly in
to the ambuscade, where, after the
Russians collected 500 Japanese
corpses. 1t is added that there were
1000 more Japanese corpses which
it has been impossible to collect oW-
ing to the fire Of the Japanese. This
does not include the loss in wound
ed. The Russian loss, according to
this account, was only 80 Or 40 men.
Mukden.-The night OF December
2 the japanese began heavy artil-
lery fire on Poutiloff Clone Tree
hill, paving the way for an infantry
attack, The Russian artillery an
swered vigorously for several hours
and then slackened. The Japanese,
imagining the Russian fire had been
silenced, flung themselves in masses
against the trenches, where they
were allowed to come within close
range and then were met with
whitening volleys and a counter
charge with the bayonet. The jap
anese fed, having sustained enor-
nous losses.
A Cossack expedition which was
sent the night Of December 2 to cap
ture a japanese battery on the Rus
sian right flank was only partly sue
cessfu. The Cossacks wiped out the
Japanese sentries, killed the gunners
and got possession of the battery,
but were unable to remove the guns,
owing to the rapid arrival of Japan
ese reinforcements.
On December 8, Captain Gichkoon
and Corporal Companetz crawled up
close to the Japanese position, where
| they remained under heavy fire all
day, making sketches Of the whole
position and returned in safety,
! An attack by Japanese on Poutiloff
hill, on December 8, was probably
due in part to a wish to distract at.
tenti0n from sapper operations on a
neighboring hill, near the village Of
Shakhe, but these operations were
discovered and repulsed and the Jap
anese fed.
Skirmishes continue. The night Oh
November 80 Captain Alexandra
with 80 men, routed a force of 80
Japanese by surprise attack on the
trenches.
The same night volunteers under
Lieutenant Vedetska surrounded and
wiped out picket of % Japanese
near Tougou This led to a hand-to
hand fight in the Japanese under
ground trenches Where twenty more
Japanese were bayonetted. The Rus
slams lost severely in this fight a
number being caught in wire en-
! tanglements.

The Democratic Vice Presidential
Nominee.

II is not possible to believe that even
in the midst of the crazy proceedings
1T st Louis the Democrats would
have nominated Davis of West Virginia
for the vice presidency if they hal
entertained any serious idea that their
ticket would be successful at the polls
octogenarian for the Office whose
chief duty is to stand in readiness to
fill the place of a higher official who
may he removed by death, is nothing
less than absurd If he lives until tho
fourth of next March. Mr.. Davis will
be well into his sd year, and accord
ing to the tables prepared by American
insurance companies. the chance would
he three to one that he would not live
through the four year term ahead. OF
course. tie chances are much greater
than this that he will not bc elected.
The secret Of Mr.. Davis selection is
found in the fact that he is nice, old
gentleman, worth somewhere about
S2O. 900. 900 to 100000. 900 and well dis
posed to act as the angel for the
grand vaudeville show with which
Democracy will entertain the country
during the next few months. That his
nomination will remove West Virginia
from the list of Republican states is
subject hardly worth serious considera-
| ton There could hardly be a more
marked contrast than between Mr.. Dav-
| is and the Republican nominee, Senator
| Fairbanks. The latter is in the prime of
| life a member of the United States
Senate with the expectation of many
years of usefulness: while Mr. Davis
| is an octogenarian. was a member of
the Senate "A score IF years ago. and a
man whose business and political ac-
| tivities are of the past. That he owns

Some highly interesting and valuable
archaeological discoveries have been
made on the site of the ancient Greek
city Olbia, situated on the southern
bank OF the Bong river. not far dis
tant from the estuary of the Dnleper.
This ancient city was colony OF
Mletus, 655 B. c., and was great CEN

to 60 K. c., but it revived, and when 1t

100 A. D., il was again fiourlshing

tensive portions of the walls and
foundations of the original city which
date back from the seventh century b.
