The Author ofDixie.

Dan Emmett, the author of "Dixie," )"
died at his home at Mount Vernon,
Ohio, last week. Emmett belonged
to the first negro minstrel troupe ever
organized and was the author OF a
number of catchy songs, including
old Dan Tucker" but Of course, the
fame which was his, because Of the
authorship OF Dixie" overshadowed
all his other efforts.
Dixie" was written on one rainy
Sunday in New York and sung the
mcknight, making q instantaneous
hit. The old fashioned minstrel com
pany which sang the piece was com.
posed of less than dozen performers,
sitting In seml-circle and all playing
some kind of Instruments. Dan En-.
NETT played the fiddle.
The manager OF the aggregation told
Dan after the show Saturday night to
compose new "round' for the c1m.
pany, and the next day being rainy and
disagreeable, the old minstrel's
thoughts turned toward the sunny
South, and without hesitancy he wrote
the words and music OF the song.
Everywhere the company appeared

TWENTY ONE DROWNED.
"A Russian Submarine Boat Had Seri-
Gus Disaster at Ncva.

GUS Disaster at Neva.
A dispatch from ST. Petersburg says
the submarine boat Deltin sank at her
moorings in the Neva, Off the Baltic
Shipbuildipg yard, at IL O'Clock We'd
neSday morning with the loss of an
officer, Lieut.. Cherkasoff, and 20 men.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number Of the crew, mostly
inexperienced men; and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt Of man to es-
cape while his comrades were screwing
down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for
submarine instruction had assembled
at the Baltic yard and three OF the
officers decided 70 60 down in the Del
Tin although her captain was not pres
ent, relying on the experience of her
skilled crew. a score of novices were
anxious to go with the three officers.
The Deltin's nominal capacity is ten
men, instead Of which 80 'tered the
boat, bringing her manhole in G,.n-
gerous proximity to the river level.
Just then tug passed, sending a
heavy wash against the beat
AS soon as the water splashed into
the submarine boats interior, it Gre
ated panic among the novices and
one of them tried to get out of the
manhOle which the other hands were
screwing down preparatory to the de-
scent, the submerging compartment
having alre ady been opened The
water rushed in and as the submerged
vessel sank like stone, the officers
and some Of the men were saved, be-
ing blown through the manhole by
the rush Of escaping air.
The Delfin shortly afterWard was
raised. Lieut.. Elaguin, who was one
OF the officers saved, said to the cor
resp ndent OF the Associated Press:
The tragedy was like dream. l
remember a sickening sense Of suflo-
cation from the fumes OF the storage
batteries and then rush of air and
water. The next thing i knew l was
ashore. The Delfin is Russia's best
submarine boat. She was designed by
Naval Architect Boubnofr and Capt.
BekelmisheT and underwent Il success

THE Philadelphia Record says: "a
Democratic victory would be about as
important to the Republican party
as to the country, and the Republican
leaders, chained to wheels OF the red
and gold band wagon which Mr..
Roosevelt thinks is chariot, are con-
scious OF the fact. Never did the
Democratic party have so capital a
chance to carry the election as 1t has
this year. 1--WE hope wise counsels
will prevail at ST. Louis, and that a
good platform and candidate will be
the result.
