TWENTY LIVES LOST
STEAMER CYPRESS sunk In
LAKE SUPERIOR.
All of the Crew of %, Excepting the
Second Mate, Were Lost-Believed
the Machinery Was Broken Down
Foundering Probably Due to Leak
Captain Had His Family Aboard.

The steel steamer Cypress, owned
by the Lackawanna Transportation
company and on her second trip down
the lakes with a cargo Of coal. was
wrecked in Lake Superior, 20 miles
from Grand Marais, and all of the
crew, of %, excepting the second
mate, were lost.
He was washed ashore near Deer
Park, dashed to life raft and barely
alive.
He has suffered terribly from cold
and exposure.
TWO bodies have been washed ashore
al Deer Park.
The Cypress was a new boat, 440
feet long, with capacity of 7400 tons.
1t is believed that the machinery was
broken, as the northwest storm was
not severe enough to wreck such a
strong ship.
The indications are that the founder
ing was due to a leak. The steamer
George Stevenson reported that she
had passed the Cypress. A red streak
was distinguishable in the water be-
hind her, indicating that her plates
had been sprung and that the iron ore
with which the ship was loaded was
discoloring the water. Captain Har-
botelle of the Stevenson says he pass
ed so close that he could see that the
matches Of the Cypress were not COW
cred. A heavy sea was running and
the decks of the Cypress were continu-
ally awash with the combers that
broke over the rails. Late in the night
the lights of the vessel near Deer
park were visible to the crew of the
Stevenson and then suddenly disap-
peared.

sIxTY-oNE LETTERS ON PINHEAD
Washington, D. c., Engraver Beats
All Records.

When one of the experts of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing sue
ceeded in engraving the text Of the
Lords prayer on one side of gold
dollar it was supposed that the acme
of delicate work of that kind had been
achieved. 1t was regarded as marvel
GUS that a man, with a set of engrav-
er's tools, could perform so remarkable
a feat as the tracing of the Lords
prayer involved, and that piece of
work has remained unapproached.
1t remained for Clarence K. Young
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing far to surpass the performance of
his predecessor.
He took small-sized pin and in a
single halliday engraved 81 letters on
the head.
The letters are not discernible to
the naked eye. In fact, the ordinary
observer would not know that the
head of the pin had any engraving on
it. Only with a magnifying glass can
the letters be made out. 1t is regarded
as likely that Young's feat will stand
unapproached for many years, even if
it ever should be eQualed.

WHEAT is BOUND TO GO UP
Price in England and France is Still

Paris. Oct. 16.-The Action of the
London Flour Millers' association in
raising the price of -four six pence

similar action on the part of the asso-

the situation, resulting from the fact
that wheat has now reached an ad-

Letters corner in 1898.
M. Carnu, secretary of the general
association, as well as a director in
the most important periodical devoted
to the same interests, told a CORE

The fact is that the population of
the world is getting beyond the supply
of wheat. and this, as it was predict
ed by the German professor, Pohle,
some years ago, is a thing that must
happen. AS one of the Paris papers
puts it this morning. the total wheat
bearing territory under cultivation at
present is sufficient to feed about $780,
100000 persons, while the population
of the world is less than l00OOO,OO0

Following the visit to New York of

telegraphers' strike. He sent the fol.
lowing telegram to all of the leading
cities of the country:
New York-Prominent officials of

ury is depleted, and no more funds

proposition. SAMUEL ]. SMALL"
Operators to whom the news of the
order to vote became known expressed
the opinion, however, that their cause
is by no means lost ona The uuion
will be preserved and strengthened
they say.
Small explained his unwillingness to
say anything mtre by insisting that
he did not wish to influence the vote
of locals in any way.
New Workers Not With Small.
New York-Daniel L. Russell, chair
man of the strikers board of strategy,
says that President Small had said
nothing to the members of the local
board regarding his recommendation,
either before or after the same was
made public. Mr.. Russell said that he
had protested against the strike in the
beginning, but at the same time had
said that if K was declared he would
support it to the end. This promise,
he said, he had kept, and he would
never ask the strikers to go to work
unless they received material con-
cessions.
Chicago Operators Indignant.
Chicago-President Smalls order
for vote on the proposition Of the
striking telegraphers returning to
work aroused a storm of wrath here.
Chicago, Oct. 14.-At a meeting Of
