MISS STONE BREAKS
HER LUCK PIECE"
Nearly Spoils Matinee at Auditorium
but Dick Ferris with Glue Pot
Comes to Rescue and Dries
Actress Tears

"Lammie Child" emulated Humpty
Dumpty yesterday and fell down and
broke his crown, and there came near
being no matinee at the Auditorium
because Florence Stone almost had
Mysteries over 1t. But Dick Ferris. be-
ing greater than "all the kings horses
and all the kings men," could put
"Lammie Child" together again, and
the repairing of it's poor smashed crown
enabled the curtain to rise as usual,
though 1t was noticed that in the re-
pentance scene Miss Stones flow of
tears was decidedly more copious. real
istic and soulful than usual.
"Lammie Child is not a human be-
ing. by the way; it is little old scent
doll, with china head, not measuring
all told six inches from tip to toe 1t is
dressed in rather soiled white raiment
OF inexpensive sort, and no one would
ever think that even a tiny girl, let
alone one of the leading emotional act
resses in the world, would shed a tear
though 1t were smashed into thousand
pieces. But "Lammie Child is Miss
stones particular fetch, her mascot,
her luck piece, and when she tumbed
1t down from it's accustomed perch, just
above her makeup glass, and it's curly
blonde head went smash on the hard
floor, just before the first act of yes
terdays matinee, she let out a Shrek
which brought half the company, all
the stage hands and Dick Ferris on a
dead run for her dressing room.
"Oh, Dick, Dick! Just look!" she
moaned
What Is it?"queried Ferris, not see
ing the cause of the disaster.
There! There! Look at 'Lammie
Child'"
Dick saw the fragments, and knew
what 1t all meant. He gathered his
wife in one arm, and picked up the
fragments with the free hand.
Now, now," he consoled; you go
on with the show and leave 'Lammie
Child to me. I'll fix it,
Miss Stone consoled herself as best
she could, and the scene proceeded.
Dick sent out for a bottle of glue and
worked for an hour patching up the
wretched little china dolls head. When
| he had it all done but one place, which
was left because the particular particles
which had once occupied it were too
small to be handled, he took it back to
Miss Stones dressing room.
She had another little crying fit, but
| finally "Lammie Child" was mounted In
it's old place, and If not examined too
closely it looks to be as good as new.
There is story to it, of course" said
Dick. "The doll was given Miss Stone
some years ago by little child in a
convent in Minneapolis. She bought
and dressed it herself, and had the
priest bless it. 1t has been with Miss
Stone ever since and has become almost
part of her.
"She says it looks like me when was
a child and named 1t 'Lammie Child,
by which cognomen it has always gone
She Is so very much attached to 1t that
don't wonder that she had a spell
when it fell and smashed"

DIVERT|NG TRAVEL

Land Agents Are Sending Out Much
Literature from Both States and
Expect Big Rush Of

Colorado roads are making strenuous
efforts this year to divert travel to that

The boards of trade there are adopt

California upstate land agents in

All agents unite in saying that spring

FINDS FAULTS
IN WASHINGTON
Rhode Island Governor Does Not Con-
slider Father of His Country
Great Statesman or Mill
tary Genius
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. 22.-Gov-
ernor James Higgins addressed joint
session of the legislature today on
Washington and His Times" and was
severely criticised by Roswell B. Burch-
ard, speaker of the house.
Governor Higgins referred to Wash
ington's great abilities as leader, and
said that he was born at an opportune
time and that he seized opportunities
at the right time.
1T has been pointed out" he said,
"that in no walk of life did he ever
rise to the immense proportions of a
genius.
'It would be unfair to compare him
as a statesman with either Benton,
Clay or Sumner. AS a soldier he is sur
passed by Napoleon, Caesar and Alex
ander. Even in our country his ability
on the field of battle perhaps did not
approach the mastery strategic powers
of Robert E. Lee or Phil Sheridan or U.
S. Grant"
Speaker Burchard in reply said:
Even in his excellent address the
governor could not refrain from pick
ing moles from the sunbeam of Wash
ington'S memory | must respectfully
say to his excellency that on the trifling
points which he has seen fit to produce
must differ. 1t is no evidence of
George Washington's lack of education
that he did not spell in the manner of
today. In military affairs it is a great
mistake to think that Washington was
not pre-eminent as a stra tegist. To this
effect we have the evidence of the
greatest general of Europe, Frederick
the Great of Prussia, who wrote of
Washington as the greatest soldier of
his generation. l will not admit that
any of the generals of the civil war
were his superiors, in military art"

attention of every passing ship. We
all sat cheek to cheek to keep ourselves
warm, but we had to cling to what we
could when a big wave came aboard
and flooded u.s.
1--WE could see the people who put
off in boats to view the wreck and
watch the work of those searching for
bodies in the sea-
1t now appears certain that after the
catastrophe there were many more
than fifteen persons remaining on the
wreck and that most of them were
washed off by the waves. One woman
was carried away just before the rescue
was effected. The survivors huddled
together for warmth. and the mem
bers of the crew who We're still alive
shared their food with the others.
There was not enough to go around,
however, and for twenty-four hours
not a morsel of food passed the lips of
these unfortunates. =
Praise Prince Henry
The survivors highly praise Prince
Henry, who personally assisted the
women and had gloves provided for
them. The prince wrapped his fur
overcoat about one woman.
Capt. Jansen of the life boat and the
other reserves praised the courage of
fTlnCe Henry, VINO went out IN
smaller boat and worked hard, pulling
at the oars and in helping to hoist the
survivors aboard.
This was not accomplished without
difficulty, owing to the heavy surf, but
the rescuers managed to get a line
aboard the wreck and make the other
end fast to the lighthouse. The sur
vivors then climbed down and were
carried one by one through the surging
water, breast high, along the pier and
placed in the small boat, whence they
were lifted to the pilot boat.
Capt. Jansen says he was compelled
to leave the two women and the child
on board the wreck because they did
not dare to make the descent of the
rope owning to their completely ex-
hausted condition. In fact they ap-
peared to be dying. Another deter
mined attempt to reach the wreck will,
however, be made at low tide at 2
o'clock tomorrow. The boatmen in
tend to try to board the wreck, wrap
up the two women and the child in
waterproof sacks and lower them into
the boat.
The wind has died down, but the, cold
is intense and the fury of the sea is
terrible.
1t has been discovered that the wreck
of the Berlin is resting on the remains
of the British steamer Leeds, which
was lost in the same spot in 1882.

ANXIOUS RELATIVES
ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY
BODIES OF THE DEAD
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
HOOK OF HOLLAND, Feb. 22.-The
struggling little village of Hook of Hol-
land is filled with anxious relatives of
the passengers and crew of the Berlin
and pathetic scenes were witnessed at
the improvised mortuary where the
bodies which already have been washed
ashore are located. Most of these are
battered beyond recognition and some
are without hands and others without
arms or legs.
Veteran pilots and seamen who
watched the Berlin being driven to her
doom say the gale was the fiercest in
many years. One of the eyewitnesses
described the scene as follows:
"As the vessel approached it was no.
ticed that she was being carried out of
her course by the force of the wind and
the tremendous driving power of the
waves. The trained eyes of the officials
upon the jetty who We're waiting the
steamers arrival saw she was in immi-
nent peril and a flare from the Berlin
showed that the inevitable had been
realized by those on board. Before the
flare died out the crash came. 1t could
be heard above the din of the storm.
When the Berlin struck the waves were
sweeping the northern part Of the pier.
which is little more than breakwater,
from end to end, and the tremendous
seas which washed over the Berlin from
bow to stern quickly battered her to
pieces. For a short time the vessel lay
at the mercy of the wind and waves.
Huge rollers struck her and carried off
the deck gear and swept some of the
passengers into the churning waters.
Suddenly a great rent gaped amidships,
and the boats bow and stern parted,
hurting nearly all on board into the
sea"

ROAD ECONOMICS UP TO DATE
Railroad Chiefs Planning to Encour-
age Scientific Course
By Associated Press

PITTSBURG, Feb. 22.-Heads of
large railroads of America are person
ally bearing the expense of an import
ant work in economic investigation
under the auspices of the Johns Hop
kins university at Baltimore. Logan G.
Mcpherson, lecturer on transportation
at the university, has just taken up this
investigation, being assisted by others.
The work will be along scientific
lines, bringing out every economic
phase of railroads in their relation to
the public as well as in the inner work
ings of railroad itself in all of it's
departments.
The subject appealed so strongly to
railroad executives when they were told
Of 1t that they volunteered their per-
sonal financial support, thus placing
the university under no obligation.
The report will be an interesting ad-
dition to railroad economic literature
Mr.. Mcpherson was secretary to l.. F.
Loree while the latter was president
Of the Baltimore & Ohio. Since Mr..
Loree left railroading Mr.. Mcpherson
has been identified with the Southern
railway, being assistant to the late
Samuel Spencer who was president of
that road. Mr.. Mcpherson will spend
some time in Pittsburg pursuing his
studies.

Whose Say-so is Best ?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. or course, such testimony Is
not that OF a disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as II written from disinterested
motives. DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence Of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fiji volumes
In praise OF the curative value of the

well known medicines.

The efforts which railroads are MAX

cape the fate OF the Berlin. 1t was
impossible for us to get a lifeboat,
as ii would have been smashed to
pieces in the raging waters. We could
see people in groups on board the Ber-
lin, some on deck and some in the
smoke room upon the fore part of the
vessel. AS we approached in an at
tempt to rescue them the persons on
board raised a cheer.
Good Discipline on Board
apparently the best of discipline
prevailed on board the Berlin. All the
passengers had been furnished with
life belts and had gathered up on the
lee. side endeavoring to shelter them
selves from the awful seas which were
breaking over The vessel, submerging
her decks, tunnels and almost her
masts, hiding her entirely from view.
When within 100 yards of the Berlin
we threw out our life belts with lines
attached, but they failed to reach her.
1t was impossible to take a line on
board the stranded steamer, as moth
ing could have lived in the terrible
waves.
when the Berlin broke in two the
passengers and crew were swept off
her decks in patches and drowned
within a few yards of safety. We
could hear their shouts for help, but
could do nothing to assist them. We
saw scores of people struggling In the
water, many clinging for brief periods
to floating wreckage, but in their be-
numbed state they were unable long
to resist the force of the waves, and
dropped off one by one."
