The Latest Ocean Disaster.

The Larchmont disaster off Block
Island does not come so closely home to
the people Of this section as did the
loss Of the Portland in the terrible
soul of the $50 on board escaped to tell
the tale, but il is the worse tale Of hOr-
ror which has come to us from the sea
since that time. at least from the
American side of the Atlantic. The
loss OF life in this case was a little less
heavy and there were a score of sur
vivors. but nothing can exceed the ter
ribe stories of the suffering of the
many who persisted and the few who
were finally saved when the two crafts
crashed together on that fearful winter
night.
OF how such a disaster could come
about consistently with due precau-
tions, much remains to be explained.
The schooner in the collision was boat
| of only 31S tons gross tonnage, while
the steamer was of 1900 tons. Yet
| the far larger ship was far more dam
aged and sank within Is minutes.
| while the little craft may yet be afloat.
The steamer was at a disadvantage in
being struck nearly amidships by the
schooner driving point on under a
heavy wind. But even then, could a
ship so much larger than the other.
have been so fatally smashed up had it
been as strongly and safely constructed
as should be the case with a paSSen-
ger vessel? And the fact that the
| L.archmont was an old vessel, built
more than 20 years ago, and resembling
rather an excursion vessel than regu-
lar coast liner. conveys an answer not
very satisfactory. 1t is further OBJ
! yious that there was gross CarclcsSneSs
somewhere in the navigation, either on
| the part of the schooner or the steam

two an abundance Of horrors in land

Teddy bears were even thought of the
soft, furlike cloth from which they are
made was christened ''hearskin," and is
50 known in the dry goods world. 1t is
largely used for making coats for
small children. Manufacturers of
Teddy bears are able to use such large
quantities of it that their orders get Il
preference over the usual orders from
mercantile houses. AS 4 result there
is a scarcity Of the cloth in the trade
and the local wholesalers are driven to
distraction to find a way to appcaSc

Minnesota is planning on a little cx-
position of its own in 1908 to celebrate
the 50th anniversary of its admission
to the Union. The legislature is con-
sidering the matter and committee
has recommended that an exposition. to
continue not less than six weeks nor
more than three months. be held next
year upon the grounds of the state
agricultural society at Hamline. The
legislature Is asked to appropriate
81 500 COO for this purpose, sl.250,000 to
tional land for exposition purposes and
the construction of permanent build
ings. The plan is to have the affair
managed by the governor. state audi
tor, encouragement, treasurer. board
of managers of the state agricultural
society, and IL citizens to be appointed
by the governor. 1t is provided that
one Of the buildings erected be a me-
moral hall wherein may be preserved
for all time articles Of historic worth
and interest. The federal government
and adjacent states will be asked to
participate in the exposition. The first
difficulty will be to get the legislature
to appropriate this large amount of
money. and already there are plenty of
directors Friends of the enterprise
urge that the additional ground and
new buildings are needed for the
regular state fairs. and that two pur-
poses will be served when making their
requirement the opportunity for a
proper celebration Of very important
state anniversary.

What the Letters Indicate.

The Kennebec Journal has published
some 400 letters from persons opposing
the removal of the capital. There
are over 100000 voters in the State OF
Maine. so that the Journal has heard
from about two-thousandths of one
per cent.-Portland Press.
We wonder if Portland can really get
any satisfaction or consolation out OF
the figures of the Press statistician
The lctters-there have been 200 instead
Of 400 published, and they are still
pouring in-have come from 400 towns
of Maine, those in Cumberland and
Kenncbec being purpcsely omitted.
These letters, as the editor of the Press
knows well, were from the leading men
Of these towns, town officials, masters
of oranges, ex-members of the Legisla-
ture, etc, men selected from lists
easily available to anybody and Sc
lected without the slightest advance
knowledge on our part as to their feel
ing on the subject. Moreover, as the
editor of the Press also knows well,
whatever he admits in print, these men
not only expressed their own senti-
ments but were particularly well stu
ated to know and voice the sentiment
of their communities. 1t is vastly more.
therefore, than a straw vote which
would indicate only the preference of
the individuals voting. Had all but a
dozen of the hundreds of letters been
IN favor of moving the capital-instead
of all but a dozen being against it, as
was the case-how quickly the Press
would have declared that the result of
the symposium voiced the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of the people of Maine,
1t makes a great difference whose OK is
gOrcd, doesn't it, brother?
