Paint Which

Painters, and all others
who understand paint,
know that white lead and
linseed oil make the best
paint Good, lasting paint
cannot be had if either pig
ment or oil is adulterated.
Many of the so-caIIed
white leads sold nosy-a-
days have barytes, rock
dust, silica, gypsum, etc,
IN them, and little real
white lead.
Linseed oil is also fire..
quently adulterated. Such
mixtures are dear at any
price.

New London Aug 6.-When the United

tion ended about 10 o'clock and the Ala
bama's representative. who had 90
round bout with a Kearsarge man for the
championship Of the feet was victorious
Attending the bout were officers from
various warships in port among them a
half dozen from the oattleships Maine
and Missouri. who started to return TO
their respective ships in one OF the
Names steam launches. Two women.
relatives OF some OF the officers. were
also aboard the launch bound for James
town wharf.
The launch steamed away from the
training station about 10:45 o'clock in a.
heavy fog and had reached point op-,
posite the lighthouse when she ran upon
ledge. and efforts of the crew TO dis
lodge her were futile. The tide was fast
receding when IL was found the launch
was inmovabe from her position on the
rocks
The regulation distress signal, FIVE
blasts OF the whistle, were sounded at
short intervals. but passing launches and
other steamers paid no heed to the calls
for assistance
The occupants Of the Names launch
had about come 10 the conclusion that
they would be prisoners on the boulders
all night, when a whalebobat from the
cruiser Denver, in command OF Quarter
master John Wesley. came up TO them.
The signals OF distress had been noticed
by Capt Colwell. who was half a mile
distant
In n short space Of time the shipwreck-
ed party was transferred to the Denver's
boat and the rescuers started 10 return
10 their ship. The fog was so dense that
they rowed In a circle. and after a half
hours steady rowing they brought up
against the Names launch, which had
been abandoned.
second start was made. and this time
they were aided by the Denver's search
light. Capt. Colwell having become
anxious at the whaleboats prolonged alb
sence. When the Denver was reached
the rescued officers and women were
transferred TO one ~ the cruisers steam
launches and the former were put aboard
their respective ships. while the women
were taken 10 jamestown and landed at
one Of the piers.
The officers and crew Of the Names

men claim they should have received
aid long before they did. as launches
passed very close To them. while they
were sounding their distress signals. The
Kentucky's launch. they claim, steamed
within a few feet Of them and totally
ignored their reported danger calls.

One OF Alderman Dunn's pet projects
Is said TO be the making OF Police Lieut.
Hartnett a captain. The Lieutenant has
been In charge at caucuses in Ward q
when Alderman Dunn didn't lose any
points.
Many voters during the past two
years have regretted that they were not
represented by such men as former AL
derman Dennis III. sheahan and former
Alderman Dennis y. Mccarthy. Both.
they say. were a credit TO the party and
OF benefit 70 the whole city. Neither. the
voters declare, had any axes to grind
for themselves
Mr. Sheehan Is no longer in the ward
and there is no question that all OF his
friends would help Mr.. Mccarthy. should
the latter consent again TO become a
candidate.
There never was in Ward SO out
spoken and earnest a demand for any
as there seems TO be for Mr.. Mccarthy
Though he is loath to enter into a con-
test for office, II Is urged that he will
not shirk any duty. and that IL things
go as they now seem bound 10 do, he will
enter the night.

survivors OF the Srio praising especially
the conduct of the captains OF the trawl-
ers Johen Miguel and Vincenta Llicano.
The former steamer came close 10 the
side Of the sinking ship and took of
300 persons. The crew OF this trawler
endeavored TO sheer Off fearing that

to develop the town of Latanier

The place will be modelled after

pie to make immediate connection
with the railroads entering Mel
vile.
ut has been decided to change
the name of Latanier to Krotz
Springs, thus advertising the place.
The Company has been organized
with the firm understanding that
six hundred thousand of the mil
lion dollars of stock is to be ex-
pended Immediately for the de-
velopment of the two towns. Of
course, large part of this amount
will go inc the erection of the ho-
tel at Krotz Springs. La both

large factories with the money of
the Company and then to turn
them over to Northern people on
long leases for the purposes of
operation. This will bring large
number of skilled mechanics to
the towns, and will promote the
general commercial prosperity of
the entire section. The hotel and
railroad at Krotz Springs should
be complete within year. and the
other buildings will be put up as
rapidly as possible. After confer
