Mr.. Secretary of War Taft must by
circumstances be forced to recall the
passage Of Scripture, Beware when
all men speak well of you" He is
certainly the most bepraised man now
living. He shows no signs up to date
OF having his head turned by adulatiou
and applause. Indeed, his head seems
to be quite level.

Alpena, Mich, Nov. s0.-The steam
or B. w. Blanchard and schooner John
I. Johnson were totally wrecked on
North Point Tuesday. The Blanchard
was towing the Johnson and schooner
Kelderhouse, and all three were driv en-
ashore by the furious gale.
Tremendous seas soon broke up the
Blanchard and Johnson, but the Kel-
derhouse is resting on a sandy bottom
and so far has withstood the terrific
pounding Of the waves.
The crews of the three vessels we're
heroically rescued by the government
Efe-savers and were brought to this
port on the tug Ralph at noon.
All three vessels were bound from
CheboygaI to Detroit with lumber
cargoes, carrying a total of 100000
feet between them.
The three lumber cargoes were con-
signed to G. w. Kotcher, John Beyster
and the Sibley Lumber Co., Detroit.
They were valued at $4,000 and were
insured, principally, in Federal Lloyds
of Chicago.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 30-Mr Kotch-
or received the details of the disaster
from the captain of the Blanchard,
which he owns, by long distance lele-
phone. He stated last night that Doth
the Blanchard and Johnson are total
losses and have been abandoned to the
underwriters.
The Blanchard was recently
equipped with new boiler and she
had a fine compound engine. Efforts
will be made to save these from the
wreckage, the steamer John H. Pauly
of the Kotcher line having been or
dered to the scene yesterday after
noon Manager Havey also left for the
wrecks last evening.
All of the vessels concerned in the
accident are of the old wooden type,
the Blanchard having been built at
Cleveland in 1870. She was of 919
gross tons, 221 feet in length, 80 feet
beam and II feet deep.
Reports from Lake Huron show that
other small freighters had hard time
of it in the storm.

Wait Met Sad Death.

Pennington, Mich, Nov. 29.-Albert
Maybee, a 12-year-old waif who had
been adopted from the state school at
Coldwater by John B. billing, met
with tragic death Sunday. The boy
was visiting at the home Of Joseph
Graham in Southfield township, and
started out in the morning to hunt.
taking with him 32-caliber rifle. AS
he did not return at night, search was
made for him, and his body was found
lying across a log in the River Rouge,
one foot and one hand frozen into the
water. 1t is supposed that the boy
was crossing the river on log, and
when nearly across the trigger of the
gun caught on limb and it was dis
charged, causing instant death.
