RESCUED FROM DIRE PERIL
ed Cherokee Taken on
BY Life-Savers.

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 15.-After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, GO
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the
Brigantine shoals Friday, were res
cued late Sunday afternoon and landed
at the inlet here. Capt. Archibald, two
mates and the ships carpenter elected
to remain aboard the stranded steam
er. The rescue was accomplished by
Capt. Mark Caste and a picked crew
in the sloop yacht Alberta, and their
experience was almost as thrilling as
that Of the stranded passengers. More
than a thousand persons greeted the
storm-tossed party is the sloop sailed
into the inlet with the report that all
hands were safe. Not in years have
the inhabitants of Brigantine and
Absecon beaches been SO wrought up
for the safety of a stranded ships COM
pany, and never were so many at
tempts made O perilous chances
taken to reach a ship in the face of a
fierce northwest Atlantic storm as
were ventured in the rescue OF the
Cherokee's party.

Koch Indicates a Shortage of
About $7S,O00.

Topeka. Kas., Jan. IA total short
age in the Kansas state treasury of
about $4,000 is shown by the report Of
Accountant Morris in the treasury eX-
animation just closed, according to the
summary of the report prepared by
Gov. E. w. Hcch, made public late
Tuesday afternoon. The report covers
all the transactions mace by the state
treasury from January /, 1898, to June
80, 1906, including the two full terms
of former State Treasurer Frank
Grimes and che term and six months
of the administration of Thomas T.
Kelly, the present state treasurer. The
larger part of the shortage appears in
the accounts of the Office during the
Grimes administration. Of the total OF
s7S,0 900, $4,000 is due to missing cou-
pens from bonds owned by the state
school fund, and $4,000 due to the loss
of interest on warrants issued by the
territory of Oklahoma to the state OF

A NEGRo's TERRIBLE CRIME
Assaulted and By a Ne
gro Near MoorestOwn, N. j..

Moorestown, N. j., Jan. 19.-Miss
Florence w. Atkinson. about 35 years
of age, who was living in the farm
house on the country seat of Mrs. e. R.
Strawbridge, near here, was found dead

fastened about her throat and her skull
crushed. Beside the body lay the club
with which she had been killed. The
only other occupant of the house at the
time was Bessie Walker, a child six
years of age, from whom it was learned
that a tall negro had called at the house
a few minutes after Miss Allinson had
gone to the stable to feed the COW. He
told the child to go into the attic and
play and she did SO. Then he ~ransacked
the house, securing some jewelry and
money. The negro then went to the
stable. and after assaulting Miss Allin-
son killed her and made his escape.

Increase of Diseases.

There can be no question that the
prevalence of certain diseases has in
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these, states the
Practitioner, are diabetes and insomnia,
both of which are largely due to the
mental stress of a harder struggle for
existence. The increased consumption
of alcohol and the free use of narcotics
are also responsible for many morbid
conditions unknown to our harder for
bears. But, in comparing the present
prevalence of diseases with that of the
past there are several factors for which
due allowance is often not made. One
of these is that our forefathers died,
as a rule, at a considerably younger
age than their descendants; if they
did not perish by the sword they were
moved down from time to time by
the plague and other devastating cpl
denies. In this way they escaped
many of the diseases, not only of old
age, but of advanced middle life.
Again, it must not be forgotten that
each generation represented to a
much larger extent than is the
case the survival of the fittest. Most
of the weaklings died in childhood.
The triumph of modern hygiene is
hat it has preserved a large proper
tion of these lives.

From every public school building

displayed in Franklin's honor. Bands
Of pupils, led by their teachers, took
excursions through the central section

or lived, from the spot in Dock square,
where he resided as an apprentice, to

chant of His Time.

New York, Jan. 17.-Marshall Field,
the millionaire Chicago merchant, died
at the Holland hotel at four o'clock

illness OF pneumonia. Death came
peacefully while members of the fam
liz, who had been in almost constant
attendance fer several days, were gath
cred around the deathbed.
They, as well as the dying mer-
chant himself, were prepared for the
end. For days they had been swayed
between hope and fear, but when the
alarming turn came, after the remark
able rally of MONDAY, it was recognized
that the end had only been briefly de-
ferred. These who were present when
the merchant died were: Mrs. Marshall
Field, Mrs Marshall Field, Jr.; August
N. EDDY, Catherine EDDY, Mrs. Hendy
S. Diblee, Robert T. Lincoln and Mrs.
Preston Gibbons.
Mr.. Fled was told, Monday night.
that he had but the slightest chance
for recovery. During the periods OF
consciousness which marked the last "a
hours of his life, he talked but little,
seeming resigned and peaceful, and oc-
casionally expressing his appreciation
of the fight his physicians had made for
him. Mr.. Field had been in %consulta-
ton, Sunday, with his personal coun-
sci from Chicago. He had felt that his
condition was grave and had given al
most constant thought to his business
affairs.
Marshall Field was without doubt the
greatest and most successful merchant
Of his generation, and he was n OF
the worlds richest men, his wealth be-
ing estimated at about 81 50,000.00O.

WILL FAVOR A LOCK CANAL
PRESIDENT PREPARING A MES

Panama Isthmus.

Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Roosevelt is preparing to send to con-
gress a message which will favor a lock
canal. He had conferences with sew
eral members of the senate committee

the opening Of the investigation made
by the senate. The report contains the
views of the consulting board as ex-
pressed before the foreign members left
this country, together with the amend
ments that have been made since, and
to which Gen. Davis Is now getting
their Endorsement.
The message of the president will ia
on the ground that it is in the interest
Of the present generation and not for
posterity, and that it a be built at
less cost of time and money. 1t is said
that the president incidentally asked
the republican members of the commit
tee to support the nomination OF Jo-
seph B. Bishop to be a member of a
canal commission and to use every eff
fort to prevent indiscriminate reduc-
lions of the salaries of canal officials,
which he fears may be the result OF the
investigation.

NORTH ATLANTIC FLEET
Work Carried On Day and Night to
Provision 1t For a Three
Months Voyage.

Old Point Comfort, Va, Jan. 10
Great reticence is observed by every
body connected with the court of in
quiry seeking to fix the blame for the
collision between the Alabama and the
Kentucky in New York harbor. 1t is
understood, however that the evi.
dence shows that the commander-in-
chief, Rear-Admiral Evans, should
have provided more pilots.
The Alabama rejoined the fleet, her
injuries having been fully repaired at
the Norfolk navy yard. The gigantic
job of provisioning the fleet for its
three-months' voyage has been COM
pleted, the butchers men having
worked night and day getting aboard
the million pounds of beef and NUT
ton, all frozen. The meat bill is $780,

and wearing white and red turbans.
The Spanish state coaches, which
were brought from Seville, received
Mohammed ell Torres and his suite
and took them to a villa alongside
those set apart for the British and
French delegations.
Gibraltar was another center OF
activity Sunday owing to the presence
of many fleets. The American blue
jackets were conspicuous about the
streets, where they fraternized with
the British sailors. Many of the Amer.
lean sailors attended the dress parade
of the British garrison at the citadel.

tains of the American squadron were
the recipients of many courtesies,
among them a dinner given by AID
miral Sir Edward Chichester, the
