SECRETARY ROOT SAFE.
Cruiser For Which Fears Had Been
Felt Arrives In Port,


Washington, Sept IA special dis
patch from Lota, Chile, says that the
United States cruiser Charleston and
her convoy, the Chilean cruiser Min
istro Zenteno, have arrived and are
anchored in the harbor there Secre-
tary Elihu Root and his party are on
board the Charleston.
The gravest fears were entertained
for the safety of the United States
cruiser Charleston, with Secretary of
War Root and party on board, which
was due to arrive there on Wednesday
last.
So apprehensive did the Chilean gov
ernment become that the torpedo gun
boat Almirante Simpson was ordered
out to search for the Charleston.
Not the slightest trace of the where
abouts of the Charleston were dis
covered, and it was feared the vessel
had been wrecked in the dense fog
which followed the heavy storm on the
day the vessel was due to arrive in
Lota. Neither was there any trace of
the cruiser Ministro Zenteno, which
was dispatched to meet the American
boat
Secretary Root and party are to be
elaborately received in Lota, and the
reception committees arrangements
were at a standstill,
The failure Of Secretary Root to
reach Lota caused some apprehension
at the state department, but no seri
GUS alarm was felt. A dispatch was
received from Minister Hicks saying
he was at Lota, which is about 250
miles below Valparaiso, awaiting Mr..
Root Another dispatch said Mr.. Root
had not arrived, but the delay was
natural and no apprehension was felt

TRANSPORT GOES ASHORE.
Sheridan ImpaIed on Coral Reef or
Hawaiian Island.


Hawaiian Island.
Honolulu, Sept. 1.-The United States
army transport Sheridan is ashore on
Barber's point, the southwestern ex-
tremity of the island of Lahu, on
which Honolulu is situated. All efforts
to send boats ashore from her thus far
have been unsuccessful, but natives
reached her in canoes The steamer is
on coral reef, and arrangements are
being made to send assistance immedi-
ately.
The Sheridan sailed from Manila
Aug. IL and from Nagasaki Aug. 1S.
She has aboard 125 through passengers
and fifty soldiers.
The Sheridan's main steam pipe is
broken, and the vessel is helpless so
far as her power is concerned 1t is
reported that the breaking of the pipe
occurred just before the steamer
grounded and that the crippled condi-
tion of her engines was the cause of
the accident
Immediately after the vessel struck
the reef the lifeboats were lowered
and efforts made to reach the shore.
The boats have not yet been able to
find place where they can land.
The natives are now getting to the
vessel through the surf in canoes. Cap
tain Peabody says that if power is ap-
piled quickly he believes the Sheridan
can be saved, but otherwise there is
little hope for the transport. The swell
is very heavy, and the coral rocks are
very sharp. Good order is maintained
on board the vessel. The transfer of
passengers, either to the shore or to
other craft SO they can be brought to
this city, is serious problem.
The second officer of the Sheridan
has come ashore. His boat was swamp
ed In the breakers, but her crew land
ed safely.
Coal is being rapidly thrown over
board from the Sheridan with view
of trying to float her at high tide.
Captain Peabody is quoted to have
assumed all responsibility for the acci-
dent, saying that the vessel was in foo
close.

Three Centuries on a Throne

THERE has been only one monarch who for
L three hundred and fifty years sat on his
throne, crown upon his head, scepter in his
hand, and dressed in the royal robes, keeping
solemn dominion over the dead.
Charlemagne, the great Frankish ruler,
during his life built for himself at Aix-la-
Chapelle in Prussia a chapel, and beneath
the chapel tomb. When the monarch died
in SI4 his body was placed, fully dressed. with
scepter and crown. in sitting position, upon
a marble throne in this tomb.
Nearly two hundred years afterward the
Emperor Otto III. had the vault opened, and
it is said that the body of the great Emperor
was found in state of wonderful preservation
still seated upon his throne, with his sword
Again in 1165 the Emperor Barbarossa
Frederick ~ had the vault opened, and in
1915 Frederick II. took the remains from the
silent chamber over which for SO many years
they had kept guard and had them put into a
casket of gold and silver, in which they are
still kept.

Our Billions of Ancestors

HAS anybody ever stopped to think how
IL many male and female ancestors it took
to bring us into the world? First, of course
it was necessary to have father and mother
and our father and mother must have had a
father and mother, and so on back through
fifty-six generations to the time of Christ.
4 careful calculation of all these ancestors
shows that there must have been 13o,235,o17,-
489,534,o76 births to bring one of us into the
world. And this is only from the time of
Christ, and not from the beginning of the
world.
According to one authority, if from a single
couple for five thousand years each husband
and wife had married at the age of twenty-one
and there had been no deaths, the population
of the earth would be 2,1oo,oIs, followed by
one hundred and forty-four ciphers. To hold
such a population it would take several worlds
the size of ours.

Were printed and bound in book
With every laugh and every smile
And ev'ry affectionate look,
And all your unselfish and generous deeds
And all of your duties well done,
And all disappointments you've cheerfully
borne
Yes, every single one
And then if another book were to be made
Containing your frowns and your scows,
Containing your cross words and angry retorts,
Your fretful and querulous growls,
Each duty neglected or carelessly done,
Each pettish and petulant tear
Then if these two books were stood up side
