GREAT

Truant officer Gilbert f. Whittemore
has sent out with his annual report
personal letter relative TO school con-
ditons in Rhode Island. The letter Is
In part as follows:
AS my reports are quite widely read
outside Of Rhode Island. and as this state
has been The Terrible Example. I'm nu-
merous epistles and arguments for bet
ter legislation in many states on mat
ters relating to juvenile offenders and
laboring children. / venture 10 enclose

latve enactments already passed making
Il IL after December, 1906.
II viii also state that certain spots ia
Rhode Island are at the foot Of the list
on the matter OF illteracy. making the
whole state average lower than IL should.

the fallacy INDUCED in by some politicians
that catering 20 iliteracy is good politics.
THE misinformatiou preached and pub
lished about this state by some good and
eloquent reformers would never have
been accepted by them had they I'm their
visits TO the state called upon either tho
factory inspector. the commissioner OF
public schools OF the state or the truant
officer OF Providence. one OF the very
best reformers once stated that he could
get no information in Rhode Island. He
did not call upon either OF the parties
named when visiting the state"
After calling attention 10 the facilities
provided for education and the compulsory
education law, Mr.. Wtittemore continues:
'In the last 25 years oar population has
increased $50 per cent, our school census
s6.3 per cent. and our school attendance
1906 per cent"
He concludes the letter with the OBJ
servation that "On the whole, there is no
great need OF mourning for Us among the
lost"

Crashed Into Steamer Powha-
tan at Pomham Light.
CREWS OF CRAFTS RESCUED
Aged Captain Of The elhurah Saved His
Wife on Floating Haiehxay From The
Inflated Vessel.

Barge Elhurah OF Connecticut and
barge II. A. Allen of New York were
sunk at 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
off Pomham light by collision with the
Merchants and Miners line steamship
Powhatan.
The Darges were making port, heavily
laden, and the steamer was outward
bound. The barses had just left Pom
ham light abesm when they sighted the
steamship laying down the river. The
tug towing them, the T. A. Baxter, eX-
changed the usual signals with the
Powhatau.
According TO Capt A. w. Greene OF
the tug they were coming up the bay al
the usual speed. There seemed 10 be
some trouble. as the steamer kept bear
ing down on the tow OF bsrges, and when
she came abeam OF tho Allen appeared TO
strike her amdships.
The towline between the Allen and the
Elhurab was short and as the Allen went
down the other barge went with IT,
The Allen was loaded with $50 tons OF
chemicals. consigned 10 a Providence
firm. and the Elhurab with 200 tons OF
coal.
Aboard the Allen was Capt. Elmer
orlep and his brother, Fred orlep. who
was St the wneel Iney udds tnelr es-
cape In a small skin.
On the Elhurab were the captain, who
was making his first trip to this port.
and his wife. Both are over 20 years of
age As the vessel went down the aged
skipper got his wife onto a floating hatch.
and az II would not keep both OF them
ahoat he swan beside Il. with one arm
over the edge for support.
The two were rescued by the men from
the other barge and later all four were
taken aboard the tug. The aged captain
and his wife were exhausted. and as soon
as they got aboard the tug were put 10
bed. They sunk into deep slumber and
when the Baxter sailed later for New
York were still aboard.
Capt. Ryan OF the Powhatan took his
vessel back 10 her dock TO ascertain IL
any damage had been done her by the
collision. II was found that the ship was
uninjured. and at $40 yesterday morning
another start was made.
His version OF the affair was that the
channel at the point where the collision
had occurred vas very narrow and the
Powhatan mad stopped and backed toward
the west bank 10 allow the barges 20
pass. AS the steamer backed the tug
and barges seemed 20 follow her. so the
Allen crashed into her on the port bow
and the Elhurab crashed into the Allen,
after which both barges sank.

It might be well for those who are
thinking of taking out a life insurance
policy to read the following, extracts
from talk to the agents of the Paclhc
Mutual Life:
Have you stopped to consider what
gem you have in your hands In the
Ideal policy of the Pacific?
Do YOU realize what it means to offer
a man life, health and accident in one
policy and to add to that, payment OF
the principal Of the policy for perma-
nent disability?
Where can you find such policy?
Who has it for sale?
Who can npete with you for a
moment?
Did you ever think that one might
need insurance money more IN LIE
than in death?
How many thousands lose their In
surance through inability to pay pre-
miums caused by accident or sickness!
How can you insure your insured
when wages stop and expenses IN
crease?
How can one buy medicine and food
and pay doctor bills and insurance pre-
miums while sick with fever or laid up
with broken leg?
How can he provide for his family
and himself for long series of years
if he becomes totally and permanently
disabled by accident or through illness!
The ideal policy answers all these
questions, solves all these problems.
It costs less money than life and &C
cident combined, and life and health
combined, and it gives the, full benefit
of each and adds full payment during
life of the face of the policy for total
and permanent disability.
It pays the face value to the family
