Fernandina Safely.
Twenty men, constituting all but
two Of the officers and crew OF the
American steamship Peconic, bound
from Philadelphia to New Orleans
with coal, were drowned by the sink
ing OF that vessel off the coast OF
Florida Monday. The disaster was
the result Of q fierce gale which ragged
along the coast during the night and
early morning. Lashed by the storm
an immense wave struck the vessel
with terrific force about IL. 80 O'Clock
Monday morning.
The impact, coming just as the YES.
sci was making a turn, caused a shift
of the cargo and the vessel oareened
and sank Immediately. The accident
occurred SO quickly that only two OF
those aboard her, an Italian and a
S%paniard, were able to save them
selves IS. They, succeeding In getting
into a life boat, reached Amelia Beach
about noon and on landing told the
story Of the disaster.
After midnight Of Sunday, during
the heaviest part Of the storm which
had ragged all day, the Cni ser of The
deck gave the order to put further cut
to sea, fearing they were approaching
the cJast too nearly. In the endeavor
to turn the ship was stu * with a
heavy sea, the cargo shifted, giving q
broadside, and she began sinking rap
idly. In less than ten minutes after
the alarm was 8 ulded she had gone
to the bottom and no trace Of her
was left upon the waters. The account
OF their W miraculous escape out OF
all the ships crew who went down was
something marvellous to hear.
One Of these men was at the wheel
at the time the order was given: the
other was on watch. AS soon as the
ship began to career these twO men
rushed for one Of the small boats,
which they jumped into as the vessel
began to go down. With their knives
they severed the ropes as the water's
level was reached and the small boat
was thrown far out on the waves They
furthermore say that they discovered
through the blacKness and storm the
figures OF part OF the awakened crew
who. some Of them, managed to crowd
into another Of the ships boats. Tnis
was, however, caught In a trough OF
the sea, thrown violently against the
ventilators and then wedged fast
Their pitiful cry for help could be
heard as the ship went down In the
sea, which swallowed her up.

night In the awful wash Of waters,
with the Storm raging and threaten.
Ing each moment to swamp their small
boat, tn ese two men were gradual,
borne ashore toward Amelia Island,
Landing just at IL q. M Monday.
Their condition was pitiable, with all
the marks Of a savage blttle amid

roughly, 600, 900 men. The similarity
in the total number of ships possessed
by Great Britain and France will be
seen to be due to the fact that France
has a large excess OF torpedo craft and
submarines, but the total fighting

MUST READ PAPERS
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TO KEEP
\ TRACK Or CURRENT EVENTS. w
Professor Considers Such a Course Of
Much importance - Educational
n Value or the Reputable Newspaper
Beginning to Be Recognized.

A few days ago Prof. James A.
James, instructor Of history at North
western university, referred in his lee
ture before the American history class
to an article which had appeared in q
morning paper the day before. Upon
questioning one of the members of
the class he found that the student
was not prepared to discuss current
news. Further investigation developed
the fact that but two members OF the
class had read morning paper. This
will never do" said the professor.
Hereafter shall expect you to have
an accurate knowledge of current
events as chronicled each day in the
newspapers, and shall consider it
fully as important as the daily lesson
assigned from the textbooks.
The value Of the newspaper as an
educator has long been recognized in
this section of the country, and we are
pleased to note that the idea has at
last penetrated Northwestern univer-
sity. Some years ago this very idea
was adopted in some Of the primary
grades of our own public schools, and
for some time worked most success
fully. It stimulated the interest Of the
children and served quite as good a
purpose as any textbook lesson could.
To those who read newspaper in
diligently 1t is as good as POSTCARD
uate course, providing the newspaper
is conscientious and reputable, one.
There are newspapers from which no
good can be Enthusiastically vapid and
tasteless. There are newspapers even
lower in the journalistic scale whose
teachings are decidedly harmful The
kind of newspaper you place in the
hands of your son and daughter will
tell in the formation of character. Your
choice should show whether you want
them to grow up clean-minded or not.
The educational effect depends in no
small measure, of course, on the re-
ceptive ability OF the reader, but con-
slant reading will improve even the
most hopeless case.-Utica Observer.
