Get Into g Life Boat and Make Shore
 Fierce Gale Raging at Time of the Disaster.
 Fernandina, Fla, Aug. 2S.-Twenty men, constituting all but two of the off, ficers and crew of the American steam ship Peconic bound from Philadelphia to New Orleans with coal, were drown ed by the sinking of that vessel off the coast of Florida tonight. The disaster was the result of a 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 12:30 o'clock this morning. The impact, com- ing just as the vessel was making turn caused a shift of the cargo and the vessel leaned over and sank. The accident occurred so quickly that only two of those on board, an Italian and Spaniard, were able to save themselves. They succeeded in getting into life boat, reached Amelia Beach, about noon and on landing told the story of the disaster.
 The men said they were the only survivors of the crew of the Peconic, l commanded by Captain John Jones,
 About midnight of Sunday, during the heaviest part of the storm which had ragged all day, the officer of the deck gave the order to put further out to sea, fearing that they were ap- preaching the coast two nearly. In the endeavor to turn the ship was struck with a heavy sea, the cargo shifted and she began sinking rapidly. In less than ten minutes after the alarm was sounded she was gone to the bottom and no trace of her was left upon the waters. The accounts of the escape of the two men out of all the ships crew was remarkable.
 The vessel had been engaged in the fruit trade from Central America to New Orleans, but on account of the quarantine regulations prohibiting the import of bananas she had engaged for | two voyages to carry coal from Phila- delphia to New Orleans. She was ves- sel of 1,154 tons register and had an board about 1,500 tons of coal. She ar rived at Philadelphia August 15 and cleared for New Orleans, August 19.

dignation-"the paper says you stole
half million dollars, and from poor
people, mostly people whose means Of
support 1t was. It's absurd. You have
been with us the last three months, and
this has all happened within that

But do know you are no more guilty
than am in the way the paper puts
it. or course you will let every cent of
your property go toward paying these
poor people, and IL 1t isn't enough we
will pay the rest off just as fast as we

sharply. "You must not talk like that
You do not understand We cannot be

INAUGURATION BALLS.
The First Was Mndison's, snturda!
Evening, March 4, 1909,

The First Was Mndison's, Saturday
Evening, March 4, 1909.
-Four hundred guests, as all the con-
tcmporaneous accounts agree, gathered
at the first Inauguration ball, which
took place on the evening of Saturday,
March 4, 1900, at Mr. Longs hotel, on
Capitol hill, in celebration of the ac
cession to the presidency of james
Madison. Each of the three presidents
who had preceded him in office had
been permitted to close the day of his
inauguration by going early to bed
General Washington and John Adams
had been inaugurated at temporary
capitols, and Thomas Jefferson would
have rebclled against ceremony
plainly modelled upon the customs of
royalty, but when Madison's inaugu-
ration came the new federal city had
been visible fact FOR nine years and
was determined to assert II right to
enjoy itself. Even i'll do:.:.s 80 it fol
lowed a habit always hitherto associ-
ated with the celebration of the coro-
nation of kings.
Royal customs were really the only
| ones the people knew, for every Amer
lean in Washington over thirty-two
years Of age had been born the subject
of king, and the new order of things
had not given birth to new ideas of
how to manifest rejoicing. Moreover,
j If the method chosen seems to some to
have been an imitation of monarchical
customs, they should reflect in extern
uation that it is an instinct of man
coequal with his feeling the sensation
of pleasure to show his joy by dancing.
So an official ball closed the day of
Madison's inauguration and has closed
the Inauguration day OF every presi-
dent who has succeeded him.-Gail-
lard Hunt in Century.

As the Train
Rolled North
By FRANK H. SWEET


When the Southern Palm Limited
drew out from Jacksonville, north
bound, there were two young men on
board under widely different circum-
stances. One was crouching upon
the second step of Il Pullman, forward,
with his eyes fixed grimly upon the
door through which the conductor
would pass on his round of ticket col
lecting. The other was III the OBJ
servation car ut the rear of the train,
two seats from the end, staring ut an
open letter with eyes widened IN
despair, horror and desperation.
This train made few stops, but at
the first station, in obedience to a sig
nal from the bell cord, it slowed down
sufficiently for the conductor and
brakeman to thrust the man from the
second step of the Pullman; then II
shot ahead ut full speed to make up the
few seconds lost. The tramp remain
ed standing where lie had dropped, his
face now keen and alert, and his
right arm appraised. AS it swept by
the train brushed his clothing and the
wind of it stirred his rough, unkempt
hair and beard Three cars passed
then came the observation ear. Sud

Parrots are such close observers and
keen mimics that 1t would be surpris-
ing If birds in the households of clergy
men and ministers did not repeat spe-
cial phrases at proper times. Indeed
1t would be as well not to hold family
worship with a speaking parrot in the
room. There was no harm in the bird
that sang in good time and tune
"There Is Happy Land" But other
feats Of imitativeness might easily Of
fend. Parrots uttering responses or
bits Of the creed or scraps of prayer,
as several have been known to do, es-
peclally at unreasonable moments, are
apt to veX rather than amuse, though,
of course, the birds do not mean to be
irreverent. A bishops parrot used to
calculate "Let us pray" sometimes in
devout tones, at other times mockingly

They were busy again until night
fell Sitting down for n little while be-
fore retiring to rest, they discussed for
the hnndredth time the probabilities of
speedy succor. This led them to the
topic of available supplies, and the
sailor told Iris the dispositions he had
