latlon tending to destroy confidence,
there might have been occasion for
uneasiness. But there is no excuse
whatever for any honest man in any
honest business to fear trouble The
furry in financial circles over the re-
cent collarses is temporary agita-
tion. There can be no collapse Of
solvent banks and prosperous business
ventures -and the banks are solvent
and business is prosperous. The
Comptroller Of the Currency has care
fully watched the condition Of ma
tional banks everywhere. He declares
them to be in an absolutely sound con-
dition. The worst has already &C.
curred-and it has occurred only to
concerns that were not worthy to live.
Legitimate business is always bene-
flied by the removal of men and
corporations that fail to obey the
laws Of business. Even in times Of
prosperity, certain immutable laws
must be observed if the trader is to
survive. He Is his own Nemesis if
he violates them. The business
world will be better off by the purg-
ing process. Wall Street gamblers
may be agitated, but the man who
deals with real things is not alarmed.

THE COUNTRY SOLID.

The country at large, while deeply
interested in watching the financial
emergency in Wall Street, is taking
a wise end common sense view Of
the situation. With good crops and
good markets and with exceptional
general solvency, it sees no reason
for losing confidence. Says the Wash
ington Post:
Business and financial conditions
in the United States are absolutely
sound. From the small farmer, who
is harvesting his crop at high prices
to The United States Treasury, which
is overHowing with money, the coun-
try is solid and prosperous. There
can be no cessation Of prosperity 80
long as the factors of prosperity are
alive and at work. IL there had been
a crop failure this year, or if disas-
ter had been invited by foolish legis-

maintaining confidence, in steadying
the nerves Of business. The cooler
the public keeps its head, and the
steadier it keeps its nerves, the soon-
er will the financial situation resume
a normal condition.
It is ore Of the anomalies Of what
IS called an age of enlightenment that
when money is most needed for lcglt-
innate business it is most difficult to
get. And that is because finance Is
yet very far from being an exact
science. People are more easily
frightened than hurt. They talk
good deal about conditions, but are
apt to knew very little about them.
And the economists, after all, teach
them very little. 1t is easy to the
orize: it is not so easy to know, be-
cause theory comes with as little trou-
bic as instinct, but knowledge is
gained only by labor.
The get. rich-quick decade had ma
turally to leave certain results. These
results have been visible in recent
days. The men wno are popularity
blamed fol the week g excitement III
Wall street could have accomplished
nothing without a too credulous pub
lie behind them, without a considera-
ble population which, while earning
good money, wanted to 'get-rich-
quick" When the speculating pub
lie loses its senses it is unreasonable
to expect that tie lighr-hearted
schemers who profit, however tempo
rarily, by the general propensity to
gamble, will reject the millions which
come tumbling in at their doors. The
credulous crowds have their own re-
sponsibility in the matter, and should
not be too ready with recrimination.
And let it be remembered that
even the sclid financial powers have
learned a good deal in a dozen or
fifteen years. They have learned the
nee essity and value Of calm and
ready cooperation in times of crisis.
In former decades they rarely joined
hands to prevent grave and far-reach-
ing catastrophes. But now they do
this thing. Realizing that the gener-
al credit must be maintained, they
unite in exercising their sagacity,
and their own credit, and every re-
source at their command. This they
are now doing. Of course the mo-
tive is not purely altruistic. The
work has to be done. And the coun-
try can safely rest npon the assur-
ancs that the work will be we'll done.
Keep every head cool, and every nerve
steady, and presently every one will
wonder why there was any excite

Captain Nelson had been
in the service of the Pacific
Mail Company for twenty
years, and was one of the
most trusted mariners in
the employ of the company.
Captain Nelson had been in
command of the steamer
San Jose, which makes the
same run as the City of
Panama, but was trans
ferred to the Panama, the
smallest steamer in the SER
vice, on her last trip.
The Pacific Mail Steam

heavy loser through marine
disasters. The wreck Of
the steamer Rio Janeiro

100 hives in the spring of

On board the City of Pan

whom sixty were passengers
and fifty-six made up the
crew. Of the passengers hf-
teen occupied the first cabin
and twenty the steerage.
The other twenty-five were

The City of Panama left
San Francisco for Ancon, on
the isthmus of Panama, on
December 81, in charge of
Captain Nelson. MANY of
the passengers remarked
that the last day of the year
was uhpropitious for the
commencement of a jour
ney, but others on the dock
laughed at their supersti-
ton.
Wreckage washed ashore
at Waddell Greek, fifty miles
down the coast, indicated
that the City of Panama
shortly after leaving San
Francisco was caught in ter
rife gales and blown far
out to sea.

built in New York in 1873

ther south. All were plain
ly marked "City of Pan
anna. +" They contained stores
such as are thrust into boats
which put off from wrecked
ships. One Of the RATS CON
tained a box Of crackers and
a cask Of water. In the boats
were also found oars and
bOathoOks. Two Of the rafts
were lashed together with
ropes.
A terrific storm has been
raging, and it is not deemed
possible that any RATS
which may be afoat can
survive the storm.
1t is believed that the CITY
Of Panama encountered a Sc
we're storm shortly after
leaving San Francisco, and
put far out to sea. Re
turning closer to shore to
continue her trip to the
south, she met with another
storm.
Below Waddeli Beach
wreckage is drifting ashore
In vast quantities. Ranch
ers are patrolling the shore
watching for bodies which
may drift upon the beach.
Local mariners stated last
night that the fact that
wreckage as described in the
Santa Cruz dispatch had
been washed ashore did not
necessarily indicate a wreck
It was pointed out that the
lifeboats, previously pro
visioned, might have been
washed overheard during
the storm. Captain John
Anderson, one of the best
known mariners Of the
coast. gave it as his opinion
that the City Of Panama was
In distress, but not neces-
sarily wrecked. He stated
that such a storm as has pre-
vailed off the coast could
have PLAYED havoc with the
City Of Panama. but that
unless the machinery was
injured the vessel should
weather the gale.
At Santa Cruz there are

heavy seas washing over
her and tried to return to
port under sail. This
would account for her prox-
unity to the shore, for she
must have been close in or
else the drift from here
would have followed the
coast currents and come
ashore at some point remote
from San Francisco.

learned last night no relief
ships were sent out from the
south. AS soon as the news
was communicated to the
local authorities prepara-
tiOns were made to send out
cutters and tugs to search
the sea.
STORM PASSED SOUTH
The storm has been par
ticularly severe in the north
west, but struck San Fran
cisco on Thursday night and
rapidly passed to the south.
When the first rumors Of
the disaster reached San
Francisco no credit was
given them, as the City of
Panama left here on Decem-
Der 81, and by this time
would have been as far south
as Mazatlan. Later reports
stated that the vessel had
encountered gales and had
put far out to sea, and had
made little progress down
the coast since leaving the
city, and the fear gained
ground that the vessel had
met with disaster.
Panama wayport vessels
usually carry heavy deck
loads, and it was such a load
that caused the wreck of the
steamship Colima several
years ago, when she was
struck by a sduall off the
coast OF Mexico. III the City
of Panama foundered she
probably turned turtle, as

have kicked up nasty seas
off the coast as far south as
Port Los Angeles. The

What Women Like in Men.

Women, | think, ike manly, not lady
like men.
They ike honesty Of purpose and con-
.ideration.
They like men who believe in women.
They ike their opinions to be thought
Of some value.
They like a man who can be strong as a
lion when trouble comes, and yet if one is
nervous and tired, can button up a shoe
and do it with an amount Of consideration
that Is a mental and physical bracer-up.
They like a man who can take hold Of
the baby, convince it Of his power and get
it to sleep after they have been worrying
with it, and walking with it, until their
eyes are tired and they feel as if they had
no brains.
They like man who il interested in
their new dresses, who can give an opinion
on the fit, and who Is properly indignant
at any article written against women.
They like a man who knows their in
nocent weaknesses and caters to them; who
will bring home a box Of candy, the last
new magazine, or the latest puzzle sold on
the street, that will do more than its duty
in entertaining everybody for the whole
evening.
They like nan who is the master Of
the situation-that Is, who has brain
enough to help woman to decide what is
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances, and who has wit enough to realize,
when one of the fairer sex is slightly stub
born, that persuasion is more powerful
than all the arguments in the world.
They ike man who likes them-who
doesn't scorn their opinions, who believes
in their good taste, who has confidence in
their truth, and who, best of all, knows
that the loved promised, is given him.
That the sort of a woman likes, and
her every sigh Of satisfaction, as his virtues
are mentioned, is little prayer that says:
"God bless him.

For Cold Rooms Hard To Heat.

The coming Of the cold weather gives rise to
the question of how best 10 heat those rooms
and Railways Of the house that seldom IT ever
warm up, no matter how big fire there may
be in the furnace or other heating apparatus.
The best way out of the difficulty is the use
Of auxiliary stoves-and Of these it would be
difficult indeed to find anything so handy and
at the same time so clean and economical as
the Perfection Oil Heater.
To begin with, it is absolutely safe. The
wick can be turned as high or as low as pos.
sible without danger. But perhaps the most de.
sirable feature of all is its convenience. The
Perfection Oil Heater can be easily carried TO
any part of the house where more heat is re-
quired. 1t may be cold bedroom, chilly
hallway, sick.room. Or you can use IT to
heat the bathroom while you take your morn
ing bath-then dress by it-and then carry it
to the dining room and eat your breakfast in
comfort. The occasions on which II can be
called into use are numerous-and once you
have tried the Perfection Oil Heater you II
wonder why you ever struggled through cold
winter without one. Another advantage Is
the smokeless burner, which prevents any OF
the unpleasantnesses that perhaps have given
you poor idea of oil heaters in general. 1t
Is very handsome in appearance and IS beau
tifully finished in nickel and japan.
Another home comfort for the long winter
evenings is the Rayo Lamp. which can be used
in any room in the house-from parlor to bed
room. 1t has the latest improved burner,
making it unusually safe and clean, and an
ideal lamp for all round household use.
The Perfection Oil Heater and the Rayo
Lamp, combining as they do to make the
house warm and cheerful, are valuable add.
tions TO any home, and no household should
he without them. They are sold at moder-
ate price BY dealers everywhere.
