Has 1000 Offers Of Marriage

New York, July 23.-Mary Mccain,
the 17-year-old girl who saved six
persons FROM drowning after they
had jumped from the burning steam
er General Slocum off North Brothers
island, has appealed to the postal
authorities on the island to help her
with the mail which arrives for her
each morning. Since the testimony
at the coroner's inquest established
the fact that Mary McCann was a
heroine, she has received more than
1000 letters containing offers OF
marriage. They are offers from
young men and old men, from bache-
lors and widowers. The girl refuses
to consider the sentimentalists, how
ever, and declares she will accept no
more mail unless the offers cease.
