loosen the port life boat. The other life
boat was frozen to the davits, but a
smaller one was soon ready to be lowered
away. - -
A woman who lost her life had been
aroused by the stewardess and was on her
way9to one of the boats when she sudden
ly turned and dashed back into the fam
ing cabin. It is supposed that she went
back for her valuables. Sheswas not seen
again and must have perished. In the
large boat fifteen people were afloat. They
included the eight rescued passengers and
seven of the crew. including the captain.
The smaller boat. which Pilot McMullen
had managed to free, contained seven
passengers.
The two boats were rowed as far away
from the burning steamer as was neces-
sary to escape destruction and waited
there and watched the boat burn. They
made every possible effort to find any
possible survivors, but there was none to
be found.
The burning steamer drifted away
toward the Long Island shore. In the
meantime the tug Bully, which was pass
ipg with string Of barges in tow, sight
ed the burning steamer, cast her tow
adrift and came to the rescue of the per-
sons in the boats. They were taken on
the small craft, placed in the furnace
room of the tug, clothing was given them
and, the steamer Erastus Corning coming
along shortly afterward, were transferred
to the latter and brought to New York.
It was reported late tonight that the
hulk of the Glen Island is now resting on
the bottom of the entrance to Hempsted
harbor, with only her smokestack visible,
and that boats surround the sunken ves-
sci on the lookout for the bodies of the
victims. =

DIVIDES HER LANDS
Pioneers Widow Deeds Large
Amount of Real Estate


In order to secure an annuity during
the remainder of her life, and to effect
such distribution of her estate as will
be satisfactory to her now, Mrs Anne
liza Perret, widow of one the earliest
local pioneers, has filed deeds and
mortgages in the Office of the register
of deeds.
Mrs. Perret, who lived with her hus-
band for many years not far from Lit
tie Canada, has divided her real estate
among a number Of her children. They
have received deeds from her. but, in
return, they have given her mortgages.
In these each of the children agree to
contribute part of an annuity for their
mother Should they keep their prom
ises the lands decided to them will be-
come theirs absolutely at her death.
But if any child fails to pay his share
of the annuity during his mothers life
time, the mortgage on his part of her
realty may then be foreclosed in her
favor.

The defendants melton for a new

Cornelius Williams.
Miss Mohr sued in the district court to
recover damages because, as she assert
ed, DR.. Williams, engaged by her to

ears, operated upon the wrong ear. She
secured a verdict in her favor for $14.-

Judge Lewis holds that the damages

were not warranted by the evidence,
and that there is reason to suspect
bias and prejudice on the part of the

STEAMER BURNS And
Nine PERSONS Die
Bravery and Discipline of Ships
Force Prevent a Greater
Disaster

NEW YORK, Dec 17.-By the burning
of the Starin line steamer Glen Island
IN Long Island sound today, nine lives
We're lost and property estimated at $780,
600 vas destroyed. The dead are:
Passengers
MRS. ROSA SILKIN, of New Haven.
Unknown man, supposed to be New

gineer.

FRANK BUSH, fireman.
JOHN BURKE. fireman.

PETER BENSON, deck hand.
That more lives were not sacrificed
undoubtedly was due to the personal cour-
age of the officers and crew and the ex-
ceHent discipline maintained when hor-
rible death for all seemed almost GER
taje.ty When the steamer was abandon
ed she was f1ame-SWept from stem to
stern and yet the only persons who lost
their lives were those whose escape had
BEEN entirely cut off by the fire before the
alarm reached them.
Of the thirty one persons, including ten
passengers, who sailed away on the Glen
Island last night, twenty-five, including
6is.It passengers, were brought back TO-
day. The Glen Island left her dock here
at $3.50 last night on her regular trip for
New Haven. Just before midnight Capt.
,0IcAllister left the pilot house and went
below for his midnight lunch.
Smoke From the Hold
At that time there was no indication
of trouble of any kind, but hardly had the
captain reached the galley when there
came a rush of sitting smoke from the
hold of the steamer and every electric
light on board the craft was extingufshed.
CAPT McAIlister sent in the alarm for
fire drill and the men came tumbling out
of their hunks. In the meantime the
steering gear had been blocked and the
pilots, finding themselves unable to direct
the course of the steamer. hurried to the
assistance of the other members of the
crew in saving lives.
Capt. McAIlister ordered AIcNullin to go
to the hurricane deck and loosen one Of
the boats, while he went to the main
deck and tried to loosen the two large
life boats. Capt. McAIlister managed to

ADVERTISING KANSAS.

The Hutchinson News files an objec-
ton about the kind of advertising
Kansas is constantly getting in the
east. ''The trouble with Kansas says
the News. lis that she is constantly
getting her name in the papers for
things she doesn't care about, and the
world does not have the proper infor-
nation on the lines of which Kansas
is justly proud
The objection of the News is correct
to a certain extent, but not altogether.
The real trouble is that the east gener-
ally pays attention to the things which
Kansas thinks are jokes, and while her
real merits are exploited somewhat, the
country is generally looking for the
other sort of thing, and there are plen-
ty of Kansas people to see that it gets
what it is looking for.
THE country is constantly drawing
on Kansas for sensational story, %

1t was some months ago, a year or

HUGH SCHOOL ~FRATs."

The abnormal spread of the orna-
mental skull cap idea in Topeka indi-
Gates a growing membership in the
high school fraternities. This may be
passing fad with the alleged smart
set of the big public Institution at
Eighth and Harrison streets, or it
may indicate a fundamental change
in the character of the institution.
Opinions of outsiders may differ as
to the social value of the high school
frat" but judging from what great
majority of teachers say, there is no
doubt of its effect on scholarship and
OH the institution. The superintend-
ent of the public school system of
Chicago has received letters from $50
teachers and principals in fifteen diff
ferent high schools, and these peda-
gogues, according to the superintend-
ent, declare that the high school fra
ternities ARE undemocratic in their
nature, demoralizing in their tend
encies, and subversive of good citizen
ship; that they tend to divert their
members from scholarly pursuits, and
to put so-calIed interests Of the or
ganization above those of the school"
It seems that in some quarters the
old-fashioned ideas about education
are going entirely out of service.
Nowadays the tendency is to empha-
size the social, the athletic, and the
amusement side of college and high
school life. and let the serious bust
mes of study look out for itself. The
fraternity encourages the develop
ment of the social side of school life
to an abnormal degree. 1t cultivates
clique among the sons and daugh-
| tiers of the rich, who can afford to put
up for expensive parties. hacks,
flowers, dances, good clothes, and
other things possibly more harmful.
For this reason, no doubt, the Chi
cago high school teachers condemn
the fraternity as undemocratic.
Fraternal organizations are gen
orally considered to be a good thing in
the social and business life of a com
nunity composed of mature men and
women. But when it comes to schools.
there is much diversity of opinion
about the value of fraternities and
sororities. Many universities and col
| leges bar them altogether, on the
ground that they interfere with the
chief business of the school If there
is so much doubt about the advisa-
bility of fraternities for college stu
dents it would seem to argue strongly
against the policy of introducing fra
ternities to the still more immature
| high school boys and girls.
Last year the high school fraterni-
ties in this part of the country held
sort of a convention in Topeka, at
which the manners of the university
fraternity were aped as much as pos
sible. One of the features was a
smoker" The idea of a smoker
for high school boys!
If the high school fraternity is
really SO injurious to the serious bust
mes of high school work, the parents
Of the boys and girls who attend high
school should use their influence to
discourage such organizations. With
out the sympathy and cooperation of
the parents, there would be no high
school "frats."

is addressing this class the longer his
words. the more stilted his phrase and
high flown his rhetoric the better for
his success. No doubt this paragraph
from a new novel by an American wo-
man win make a great hit:
"a cool breeze slipped ahead of the
dawn. It blew dim the calm Greek
stars, stirred the intricate branches of
olive trees inlaid in the rose-pearl Ia
cade of the sky, bowed the tall, coral
Tipped oleanders lining the rivulets and
cTisped the soft wash of the gulf tide. .
Now, in the words of the late, Ia
mented Billy Baxter isn't amy one who
can tell what this means entitled to
the gold-plated oil stove and the barrel
of fIour2' But, as a piece OF fine
writing" this, by a Kansas editor, is
not much behind it:
Like the sweet flowers that adorn
the roadside, filling the air with their
fragrance and cheering the dropping
spirits of the weary traveller. are the
friends with whom we pause in our pill
grimage and enjoy even for a little
while the perfume of their presence.
And as we carry with US over the rough
places the memories Of the more beau
tiful landscapes where the flowers
grew so these tarryings by the wayside
with cherished friends give buoyancy
to spirit and elasticity to step when
the journey of life is resumed" Now
isn't that real sweet?
