New York.-By the burirfg of the
Starin line steamer Glen Island in
Long Island sound, nine lives were
lost and property roughly estimated
at a quarter of million dollars was

fireman; Otto L. Alolfrane, fireman;

toward the Long Island shore. In the
meantime tug which was passing

in Mississippi that if the facts were
known to thousands of people in the
crowded sections of the north it would
bring them here as soon as they could
arrange to come. We need more good
people who want to own homes and
make an honest living. A small
