WAR VESSEL SINKS.
BRAZILIAN TURRET SHIP DE-
STRoYED BY EXPLOSION.
Battle Craft AGuidaDan Blows Up
Of Rio Janeiro and 212 Seamen
Borne Down in the Wrecked Hull
Powder Magazine Explodes.

The Brazilian turret ship Aquida-
ban was sunk at Port Jacarepagua off
Rio Janeiro, as the result of an eX-
| plosion. 1t is reported that over two
hundred Of the crew persisted and that
! only one officer was saved. 1t is an
| nounced that the magazine of the yes
sci exploded without any signs to warn
| the crew, but in view of recent mutt
| MES in the Brazilian navy it is feared
| that the explosion may have been the
result Of design rather than accident.
The information in hand shows that
| few of the sailors or officers had a
| chance for life. The center of the big
| engine of war was hurled outward and
| upward. Men were thrown high into
| the air, to fall stunned or mangled into
the sea. Spars fell among the men,
but most of the latter were unable to
grasp at anything in an effort, to keep
| afioat till assistance might arrive.
| Others of the sailors who occupied por-
| tions of the vessel not rent asunder by
the explosion jumped into the ocean
and sought to swim from the shattered
| hull far enough not to be drawn down
in the vortex produced by its sinking.
So rapidly did the vessel sink, however,
that few were able to make more than
few strokes.
Fire burst from the center of the
ship simultaneously with the explosion,
and while the vessel settled the flames
arose in the splintered decks. One or
two small boats were launched by the
coolest heads, but these were of little
avail in saving life One Of them was
swamped by the crowd that jumped
into it in the panic on board. Another
put off With one officer and several
sailors inside and managed to make
| land
Smaller warships and merchant
craft near the scene OF the disaster
steamed out as swiftly as possible to
pick up possible survivors. They found
few, so sudden and complete was the
wreck of the Aquidaban.
The armored cruiser Aquidaban was
the flagship Of Admiral Mellos fleet
during his sensational rebellion against
Brazil in 1893 and 1894 1t was the
Aquidaban which, during that REBEL
| ion, nearly brought on a naval engage
ment with the famous American
white squadron under Rear Admiral
Benham, in the harbor OF Rio Janeiro.

FRENCH ELECT FALLIEREs.
Chosen President of Republic to
Succeed LOubet.

Clement Armand Fallieres has been
elected President of France to succeed
M. Loubet. The national assembly
met Wednesday afternoon in the con-
gress hall of the royal palace at Yer
saiIles and gave Fallieres 449 votes to
81 for M. Doumer, his principal OPP
ponent, on the first ballot.
The assembly consists nominally Of
591 deputies and 800 senator's, but
owing to deaths, illness and the pas
sage of some Of the deputies to the
senate, leaving their seats vacant, the
number present was decreased to 81,
making 4OS votes necessary to elect
President. The deepest interest was
manifested in the proceedings, how
ever, which were greatly prolonged.
The members of the assembly voted in
alphabetical order. Those awaiting
their turn discussed excitedly the pros
poets of their favorites.
Fallieres had the general support Of
the advanced socialist and radical
groups, constituting the famous party
which sustained the Combes ministry.
M. Doumer, however, was formid-
able opponent, whose election to the
presidency of the chamber of Deputies
last year after breaking away from
his former connection with the famous
party previously referred to gave the
first blow to NJ. Combes. The old lib
eral republicans, belonging to the cen
ter, and the conservatives, who then
voted for M. Doumer, were inclined to-
continue their allegiance.
NJ. Fallieres, who has been pres1
dent of the senate, is a scholar, ju-
rist, a debater of fine talents, man
of easy manners and a stern Repubh-
can. The French aristocracy holds
him in high esteem.
For twenty-five years M. Fallieres
has been prominent in French politics.
He has held the post at the head Of
the senate for several terms. He also
has been premier and has held cabinet
positions under various governments.
M. Fallieres is the son of a magis-
trate's clerk and is the grandson of a
blacksmith whose forge and cottage,
until a short time ago, stood against
one of the walls of the cathedral at
Mezin. Here it was that M. Fallieres
was born, Nov. 6, 1871.

SNOWSLIDE Is FATAL.
BURlES FIVE MINERS AT SILL
VERTON, COL.
Severe Storm Causes Havoc All
over State and Practically Puts
Some Railroads Out of Business
Temporarily.

Five Italian miners employed at the
Sunnyside mine lost their lives IN an
immense snowslide at Si1verton, Colo.
The mine blacksmith shop and seVerai
tram cars were swept away. No trains
from Durango and Denver had arrived
there for five days, slides and immense
drifts of snow having blocked the tracks.
There are eleven slides between Silver
ton and Elk Park. An immense one
went into the Animas river, forming
dam of snow and ice which caused the
stream to back up and overflow the Rio
Grande tracks to a depth of four feet
1t will be several days before traffic can
be resumed between Silverton and Du-
range. The Iowa mill in Arastra Gulch
has been crushed by snowslides which
came down Little Giant mountain. The
storm has been one of the worst ever
known in that section.

BEAT ALL RECORDS.
Greatest Building Year in Ameri-
cas- History.

Greatest eaE III
cas- History.
During 1905 permits were taken out
In 90 of the principal cities of the coun-
try for the construction of buildings ag-
gregating in cost 1928, 1S6,412 against
1915, 81, 100 for 1904. a gain of $780,
615,2S2, or 40 per cent, says the Con-
struction News.
This is a remarkable showing. Never
before in the history of this country has
anything like it ever been seen, yet, on
the other hand, there is, in so far as one
can discern, no reason why building in
1906 should not exceed the magnificent
totals of 1905. All but four of these
cities show substantial increases, not a
small gain, but a good healthy advance
in material development over 1904.
For example, Chicago had a gain of
80 per cent; New York, 60; Philadelphia,
81; and st. Louisiana this the year
after the worlds fair-a gain of So per
cent. An interesting part of the record
is the growth and development of the
smaller cities such as indianapolis, rs
per cent; Columbus, Ohio, 95; Louisville,
50; Denver, So; Detroit, 81; Kansas
City, 81; Washington, 81; New Orleans,
3d.; Cincinnati, 81; st. Paul, 80; Cleve-
land, 48; Brooklyn, A; Minneapolis, 80,
and San Francisco. 81.
Decreases, quite fortunately, number
only four-Atlanta, II; Seattle, 49,
Pittsburg, 6, and Memphis, 3 per cent.
1t is pretty hard to account for this fall
ing off, other than that Pittsburg has
shown unusual activity in former years;
Memphis was affected by the yellow
fever scare, while there seems no reason
why Atlanta and Seattle should have
fallen so far behind.
Great as the figures are, they tell but
part of the story. They only embrace 26
of the principal cities. What about the
thousand and one cities, towns and vii
lagos scattered all over the country in
which the era of prosperity has been
equally responsive? Were it possible to
obtain the figures, they would be much
greater by many times over than those
contained in the foregoing. On the
whole, the year was eminently satisfac-
tory, and builders and material dealers
look back upon it with the deepest graft
tude and with feeling of assurance that
the season upon which we are now en-
tering will be equally prosperous.

A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.
"a little widow, a neighbor Of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food Of any other kind
writes a grateful woman, from San
Demanding Co., CAL
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that 7
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 90
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so when
they heard that Grape Nuts alone had
brought the change.
My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very
bad, last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. I put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the ecze-
ma disappeared and now he is fat and
rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did 1t. I

in order to escape themselves, and all
their primitive passions were revealed
i'm the wild scramble for safety.
Scores of the worshipers rushed to
the north stairway, in which there was
a sharp turn The struggling persons
became wedged at the turn, and the
railing gave way, precipitating scores
to the floor below. Others leaped upon
the PROSTATE bodies and made their

Rush Quickly Over.

In spite of the crush on the stairs
it was only a few moment before the
400 uninjured members of the congre
cation reached the street There the
excitement prevented any attempt &C
rescue until the arrival Of the firemen
and police. Women, nearly nude, ran
about wringing their hands and calling
for missing loved ones. Men, strong
and willing, lacked the directing brain,
and stood idly by.
When the fire department arrived the
work of rescue began. In the hallway
on the first floor lay a heap of bodies,
the living and dead mingled. The liv-
ing were hurried into ambulances and
taken to hospitals, and the dead were
removed to near by morgues. On the
stairway, under heap of bodies, was
that of baby which probably had been
dropped by it's mother in her fight
On the floor below a 3-year-old boy
lay dead his features trampled beyond
recognition.
The injuries of those who had es-
capped death showed how frightful the
struggle for life had been. Bones were
broken and features were battered and
scratched by heavy boot heels. Finger
marks showed that in the struggle
those fighting for their lives had not
needed the lives of others.
