Sir: Referring the terrible loss Of life tho
General Slocum the question arises how
such a calamity may be prevented IN the future
I suggest that steamboats, should not be allowed
to carry Sunday schools other large bodies
composed mostly OF children. but that the latter
should be carried in barges and not allowed to visit
the steamboats, by which the barges are towed Had
this been the with the General Slocum rot n

On the occasion of a recent visit to

in looking over the large waste of the
burnt district of that grand old city but
on the other hand, when we viewed the
many massive and handsome new build
ings gong up on all sides-some SIX
hundred or more of which have already
been erected-we were gladdened by the
prospect that out of her ashes the Monu-
mental City, the pride of the South, will
arise Phoenix-like. with more than pris-
tine glory to enter on a new and much
greater march of progress along future
commercial lines. We were pleased dur
ing out visit to call at the big Stieff piano
house on North Liberty street, known
we'll and favorably far and near, and to
find our good friends Messrs. Charles and
Fred. Stieff and their many assistants in
the midst of rushing fall business. The
Stieff piano main Office building, we may
here remark, was the breakwater (oi

it. May its existence and the prosperity
of the house long continue.
