CAPTAIN FOR WORK
AT HOOK OF HOLLAND
BY Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The newspapers
here and on the continent are ringing
with praise for the heroism of Capt.
Sperling of Dordrecht, to whose initia-
tive and courage it was entirely due
that the last three survivors of the
steamer Berlin, which was wrecked off
the Hook of Holland, were rescued.
All the survivors of the Berlin are
progressing favorably. They tell af-
fecting stories of their terrible ex-
periences aboard the wreck which, ac-
cording to the salvagers, presented an
awful spectacle of destruction.
Sad scenes were witnessed at Harwich
yesterday with the arrival for burial or
the first consignment of bodies of those
who met death in the disaster.
Many bodies are still missing and
number of those that have been found
have not yet been identified.

BurglarieS
Were After Pennies Only, Although
Ham Came in Handy to AS
suaee Vigorous Youth
full Appetites

Burglary is the charge which has
been placed against Eddie Christ, SIC
South Gates street, and Earl Baughn,
24S South Gates street, 10-year-old
boys, who were arrested for fishing
In the pond in Eastlake park yester-
day.
According to the officers of the east
side substation the boys have exhibit
ed cunning and daring beyond their
years. They are accused of commit
ting crimes at which men twice their
age would hesitate.
According to a confession said to
have been made by the boys to the
police they are members of a gang
formed for the object of robbing small
stores in the neighborhood of their
homes. So far they are said to have
confessed to two robberies in which
they forced their way into the build
ings.
Boys Rob Butcher
Last Tuesday it was reported to the
police that Goodfellows butcher shop
on East Main and Hancock streets had
been broken into and robbed of a large
quantity of ham and a number of pen
MES. The police investigated and
found the thieves had cut their way
through the rear door, using some
sharp instrument. The officers who
plussed. The way Of forcing an en-
trance was in many ways a new one
to them and the class of loot secured
and taken was peculiar.
At last it was decided that the rob-
berry was the work of boys and a
lookout was kept for a gang of young
sters. When arrested yesterday the
Christ and Baughn boys are said to
have confessed to having been the
have been guilty of breaking into a
ary 9.
This robbery was another which had
puzzled the police. The intruders had
forced their way into the building and
ransacktd the place thoroughly. Pa
pers which had been taken from the
desk drawers had evidently been ex-
amined to see if they were of value
been passed over. A small safe which
stood in one corner of the office showed
many dents, evidently made by some
sharp instrument, while in the corner
lay a small ak with much nicked
edge, showing that it had been used
in an effort to force the safe. Nothing
was taken from this place, and al
though the police decided 1t was the
work of amateurs they were confident
1t was young men who were guilty
of the crime.
No Pennies in Paper Mill
1--WE did not get anything at the
paper MILL" said the Christ boy at
the police station yesterday. I'VE
broke into that place thinking we
would find some pennies, but did not
succeed. We did not steal any pennies
from the butcher shop. All we took
was some ham. I guess some other
boys broke into the place before we
did and took the pennies. There was
no one else with us when we broke
into either place."
The boys are exceptionally bright
little fellows and small for their age.
They live with their parents and are
said to be we'll behaved around their
homes. They appeared greatly fright
ened at being taken to the police sta
ton and begged that their parents be
notified at once,
1t was decided to take them to the
detention home and they will be kept
there until some arrangements are
made for their care in the future

Evidently he was not expecting a

Or, the Rail

There appears to have arisen a diff
ference of opinion between the lroads
In the Western Passenger Association
and those in the Transcontinental AS
ISOLATION regarding the issue of clergy
permits for 1908. The territory of the
two associations overlaps, that of the
latter extending from Chicago to the
Pacii. coast while that Of the former
extends from Chicago to Colorado
common points. The western roads
recommended to the transcontinental
ones that they issue no permits in the
territory east of the Missouri River,
but they have replied that all their ar
rangemetns have been completed for
covering the entire country from CHI
cage. and the matter mas gone TOO
far now for the arrangements to be
changed.
The housekeeping expenses Of big
railroad are something enormous. Ii
one year the Santa Fe, for instance
uses three tons of pins, fifty barrels
of ink, and 500 miles Of lead pen

Fresh ideas are graciously carried

Far from going out, as everyone pro-
phesied, the extra blouse has come to
stay and to beg another lease of our

The Jeremiahs of fashion declared
death of the odd blouse because 1t
was at odds with tailored skirts-and
behold what the adherents of the ex-
ira waist have done. Not a tailored
costume adorns a model in the big
emporiums Of fashion, but its echo. in
waist of harmonious tones, or per
haps perfect match, is to be found
In the adjoining salesroom.
Thus, if one buys mulberry tailored
costume or the rich new dahIia In
broadcloth, one need but step over the
threshold to the next counter and a
waist will be shown composed OF lace
and silk with bands of broadcloth to
match the costume which, by this in-
genuity, becomes a three-piece suit
with a waist.

While lingering by the counter the

sample of the new "rain-washed" blue

from her skirt in the fit6ng-room

forth triumphantly a blouse of heavy

The corsage was Of silk, the
mousquetaire sleeves of silk, with tiny
buttons down to the hands, and from
beneath an apparent overblouse of silk
fell full flounces of lace in rich folds.
The collar was of lace braced high In

The salesWoman suggested that Ii
strips of broadcloth had been trimmed
from the fitted skirt, a band, though
but one inch wide, stitched upon the
sleeve here and applied to the surplice
effect, would produce an idea that the
blouse was made for the costume. 1t
was very clever of her, as she made
more than one sale among the listen
ing group.
Hardly had the first customer de-
parted when a dowager appeared bear
ing a dark purple street frock which
she hal just bought, and she wanted
a service blouse. This took her to the
adjoining counter, where peau de sol
and tafteta waists were heaped high
There her suit was spread out and
she departed happy in the possession
of plated satin blouse, long sleeved,
trimmed with buttons and novelty lace
in the same shade, determin u to get

The combined efforts of the steel
manufacturers and the railroads to
find a standard steel rail that viii
safely bear the weight and strain Inn
posed upon 1t by the modern locomo,
tive are bearing fruit. The American
Railway association has been looking
into the subject to determine whether
a more satisfactory rail could be made
and in this the steel manufacturers
have cooperated. The railway CON-
mittee which has had the matter In
hand reported progress at the SEMI
annual convention of the association
! A day or two ago in New York the
committee agreed on the adVisabiltty
CT an improvement In rail sections
which would afford definite distri'
| button of metal between the head and
base of the rail and develop homo
genuous condition of metal by cooling
simultaneously. This was approved by
the association. The association In
structed the committee to continue
! the inquiry on disputed features. q
L. Peck of the Pennsylvania railway
I chairman of the committee, stated
that the committee had conferred
with the American society of civil
engineers, and had inspected the prin
cipal railmaking plants in the country
While satisfied that a rail answering
all purposes would be found, he sale
that on the question of discard from
the ingot the committee had discov
cred wide differenc of opinion. Elk
perts were consulted who advocated {
discard of 25 per cent which, it wal
claimed, would rid the ingot of all OBJ
! jectionable gases, which frequently
rise in the cooling medal, and removt
all foreign substances which were no
| desired in a perfect rail. The com
mittee, however, learned that thes'
views were not held by other stee
rail experts. who declared that rail!
made from The top of the ingot. II
which all deleterious substances were
assumed to be found, were frequently
better than rails made from other sec
lions of the ingot. The committee was
unable to reach an agreement on the
chemical composition Of the stee
rails. All differences of opinion, how
ever, were met in fair spirit calcu
| lated to bring about an ultimate
agreement on a standard rail. Tbs
association gave especial thought Il
the report of the third rail committee
| which suggested a standard outline
for rolling stock and all superstruct
ure, which would prove available
when the time came for the instalia
ton generally of the third rail on rail
roads throughout the United States.
