THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

The professor VINO announced that vlovo

wedding BELLS was the first to start the
ball rolling. II would seem a brave woman
who marries with this cchy in her ears. vet
we have not heard that there were fewer
marriages during the year. There are un.
happy married lives, but a large PERCENTAGE
of these unhappy homes are due to the in.
ness OF the wife, mother or daughter.
During a long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely Of roots and herbs, without the use
OF alcohol, cured ninety-cight per cent Of
such cases. Amer using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The Del
aware steamship Columbia, on its way
from this city to Bristol, Pa, tonight
crashed into steam launch ten miles
north of here, grinding it to pieces and
causing the drowning OF eight OF the
twelve occupants of the small boat. All
Of the party were Philadelphians. The
dead:

The launch was owned by Joseph
Fortescue and the party had been
made up of his friends. The day was
spent in a cruise up the river. The re-
turn trip was begun after nightfall,
the pilot keeping close to the Pennsyl-
vania shore When a point near Anda-
lusia was reached the Columbia sud-
denly doomed up in the darkness. For
tescue jammed his wheel to starbOard,
but Just a moment too late The big
steamer struck the launch squarely
in the middle and cut it in half, throw
ing all the occupants into the water
A panic ensued among the passen-
gers on the Columbia. Dozens Of life
preservers were thrown overheard to
those in the water and a boat was
Quickly lowered When the rowboat
reached the spot only four persons
could be found in the darkness. 1t is
believed that several OF the victims
were crushed by the paddle wheels
on the Columbia.
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-12

The unexpected appearance of the
Russian cruiser Lena in San Francisco
bay about noon yesterday excited un-
usual interest and gave rise to many
questions Of international law.
As soon as the news Of the Lena's
arrival became generally known the
event was the one topic of converse
tion. There were many guesses as to
her mission and many fears of diplo-
matte complications between Russia
and the United States.
The big slate colored vessel steamed
into the harbor with twenty-three slen-
der looking rifles looking over her rails,
the blue cross of St. Andrew on her
white flag waving ominously from its
staff. She stole slowly out of the thin
fog that hung over the Golden Gate,
her huge hull looming over the water,
and came to a standstin as her anchor
went down on the bay bottom off
Meiggs wharf.
That flag is the war standard of holy
Russia and those guns are a part of
the vladivostok raiding batteries. Many
cases of freight along the wharves are
shrinking into the darkest corners of
the sheds and the exultant "banzais"
arc hushed in Prospect place.
It was a surprise that a Russian
cruiser slipped TO the northward of
Kamimura, carried away from the
danger zone and found safe berth
in San Francisco's open port. Her ap-
pearance was the signal for all kinds
of speculations in the public mind.
There was general good feeling, how

officers to the large crew, showing that
Russia has suffered in the loss of her
brass buttoned sea fighters. They are

Kahtin; Chief Engineer Ratmanoff: !:
Assistant Engineers Semenov, Federoff
and Kakatzan Surgeon Zabatkin and
Chaplain Osikoff-
The officers of the Lena report that
she left Vladivostok thirty-Qne DAYS
ago and came by way of st. Mary, a
and keeping we'll to the north had an
uneventful run for San Francisco.
Asked the reason for trip across the
Pacific at the time when the Cars fast
ships may be useful in the Orient. they
said the steamers boilers are in bad
condition and must be repaired. When
questioned concerning Japans possible
objection to a Russian seeking a place
of refuge in a neutral port, they an
swered that if necessary the ship could
be disarmed and dismantled, but that
at least a month would be needed to
complete repairs. They averred that
they had plenty of coal, but the vessel
stands too high out of the water to
have much fuel in her bunkers.
The captain, after the salutes and Of
fetal visits had been exchanged be-
tween his ship and the New York. Bos
ton, Remington and Marblehead, left
the Lena and hurried ashore to visit the
Russian Consul General.

ever, when news of her friendly salut-
ing of the AmeAican fleet became
known, and when her captain visited
the New York. the Marblehead, the
Bennington and the Boston, a kindly
feeling arose in place of doubt and the
fear of complications.
The Lena is a converted steel cruiser
of the Cars royal navy. She was for
merly the volunteer steamer Kherson,
a freighter and passenger vessel of the
Black Sea and Mediterranean and Vladi-
vostok trade. She was built at Heb
burn, England. in 1895, and is 493 feet
long, 81 feet beam and "a feet draught
The ship is registered at 1925 tons
displacement, has engines of an in
dicated horsepower of 1880 and
her twin propellers will drive her when
she is fresh from the dry dock at 1917
knots. The Japanese liner America
Maru, which may be on this coast
about October /, and which may be an
object of interest to the Russian, is an
1e-knot boat.
SHE Is WE'LL ARMED.
The Lena has a battery of twenty
three modern rifles, as follows: Three
120 millimeters or 463-inch diameter.
twelve 70 millimeters or 2.96-inch, eight
AZ millimeters or 1.85-inch and one 81
miIlimeters or 1.46-inch. These guns are
mounted on the spar deck without
shields, and because Of their open DO
sition are all able to command a wide
sweep of fire. One Of the 463's is on the
