DROWN IN COLLISION At SEA
Steamer Columbia Sunk Off Ell.

Eureka, Cal.-Fifty persons, the
majority of whom were passengers.
went down with the coasting steam
ship Columbia when the vessel was
rammed by the lumber steamer San
Pedro, in Shelter Cove, off this port
There were 1S9 passengers and sixty
officers and men aboard the ship, and

members of the crew were landed

der, which also towed in the San Pc
dro, almost a total wreck, and with
her ~afterdeck awash. Only the lum-
Der cargo of the San Pedro kept her
afoat.
1t was reported that there were
forty-six survivors in a vessl headed
for San Francisco. One report is
that these persons were picked up
from lifeboats, but this is looked
upon as improbable, as the captain of
the San Pedro reports four lifeboats
launched from the Columbia were
overloaded and swamped. Captain
Doran, of the Columbia, went down
with his ship.
Almost all of the Columbia's pas
sengers and many of her crew were
asleep in their cabins and hunks.
Captain Doran, it is said, shouted for
the San Pedro to hold her bow in the
cut in the Columbia to prevent an
overpowering thrush of water. But
as quickly rs possible the San Pedro
was backed away, and the water
rushed through a gap ten feet across.
Doran was on the bridge and he was
master of himself until his Sip sank
under him. 1t is said that he at
tempted to hold the crew to duty by
threatening to use a revolver, and
n report has it that he shot a mutt
nous sailor. Men on the San Pedro
heard Doran giving orders almost to
the last moment. His voice carried
distinctly through a megaphone, and
he could be heard saying:
THE women and children must go
first. You towards, give re women
and children a chance"
But his cool bravery was in vain,
for Doran was forced to see the four
lifeboats overturned by the weight of
men caring only for their own chance
of life. 1t is understood that the life
RATS were overturned in exactly the
same way. One life raft was thrown
overheard from the San Pedro, and
about a dozen passengers managed to
reach it. The women saved were
picked up by dories from the San Pc

A MURDER OVER TELEPHONE.
Official OF Lowell, Mass, Heard
Screams, Pistol Shot and
Falling Body,

Lowell, Mass.-Hearing a murder
over a telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard J.. Gately, a
constable, who heard the screams and
the shot when Mrs. Mary A. Nc
Bride, a milliner, was fatally attacked
in her Office.
In her millinery shop at No. 229
Dutton street, before her helpless
employees, Mrs. Mcbride was shot
down by a man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped. The
woman, at the st. John Hospital, re-
gained consciousness long enough to
say:-"Iohn Kelley shot me-"
The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis
lance away at his Office in the Cen
trail Building.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding a legal matter. The voice
at the other end of the wire an
sWered:-"This is Mrs. Mcbride, and
I refer you to my attorney, Daniel J..
Donahue."
Then the constable heard a scuf-
fe and loud cries, my God, don't
shoot me! Don't shoot mel"
Then he heard clearly over the tel
ephone a revolver shot, followed by a
woman's moaning, which grew faint
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for a moment
at the unusual sounds ove the wire,
but gathering his senses, rushed for
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. Mcbride lying I'M
conscious with an ugly wound over
her right eye.
In one corner was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner's assistant, half fainting
from the experience and moaning
that Mrs. Mcbride had been killed.
The assistant explained that the
shooting was done by John Kelley,
who was madly in love with the mar
ried woman.
Kelley was found near the scene
of the shooting and was arrested
charged with attempt to murder.

LULL IN ATTACK ON TRUSTS
Purdy, Author of the Injuction-Receiv-
ership Method, Goes to Europe
For a Rest.

Washington, D. C.-Milton D. Pur-
dy, assistant to the Attorney-General
and author of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ship method of dealing with the
trusts, has sailed for Europe for a
vacation of six weeks or two months.
1t is probable that there will be no
great activity in trust prosecutions
during the next two months, for At
torney-General Bonaparte spends
most of his time at his country seat
in Maryland, Solicitor-Genera Hoyt
is already in Europe and Assistant
Acknowledgement McReynolds, who
prepared the case against the So
called tobacco monopoly, accompanies
MI. Purdy on his European journey.
Only two more antitrust suits
are in immediate contemplation. The
case against the Du Pont Powder
Corporation is in print, ready for the
final approval of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, and the papers in the case have
been submitted to him. The other
proposed action is against the In
ternational Harvester Company,
which is declared by the Government
officers to be a monopoly in restraint
of interstate commerce.
The investigation of the Harves-
ter Company has never been COM
pleted, although the preliminary ex-
animation, which was enough to sat
isfy officers of the Department of JUS
tice that some action should be taken
against the corporation, was COM
pleted some time ago. The p~rosecu-
ton of the Harvester Company may
possibly go I've until the autumn.
An experiment will be made in the
suit against the Tobacco Company,
which is charged with violating the
Sherman law. An injunction will be
asked against it to prevent it engag-
ing in interstate commerce, and the
court will be asked to appoint a re-
ceiVer.

SPOKE TO NO MAN FOR 20 YEARS.
Oldest Maiden in Indiana Never For
gave Sex For Faithless Lover.

Lawrenceburg, 1nd.-Miss Sarah
Ann Daniel, n~inety-five years of age,
died a few days ago at her country
home two miles north of this city.
She is believed to have been the old
est maiden in Indiana. For nearly
seventy years she had lived in the
same neighborhood and had refused
absolutely to have any communica-
ton whatever with men.
Tradition has it that Miss Daniel
was one of the most popular girls in
the county when she was sixteen and
that she engaged herself to a young
man who vas teaching school in a
distant part of the county. He Wis
tied her regularly, but at the close of
school term he left the county with
out a word of explanation and Miss
Daniel eve heard from him again.
She was W afterward seen in
company, and when her father died,
and later her mother, she was SO
heavily yelled at the funeral that her
face could not be seen. She contin-
ued to occupy the old homestead, but
all business in connection with the
farm was transacted through neigh
bors of her own sex and it is said that
she never spoke to a man after her
lover disappeared.

MEAT OR CEREALS
A Question of Interest to All Careful
Persons.

Arguments on food are interest
ing. Many persons adopt a yegetar-
ian diet on the ground that they do
not like to feel that life has been
taken to feed them, nor do they
FANCY the thought of eating dead
meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread,
pastry, ETC., produces serious bowel
troubles, because the bowel digestive
organs, (where starch is d~igested).
are overtaxed and the food ferments,
producing gas, and microbes gener-
ate in the decayed food, frequently
bringing on peritonitis and appendi-
citis.
Starchy food is absolutely essen
tial to the human body. It's best
form Is shown in the food Grape
Nuts" where the starch is changed
into a form Of sugar during the pro-
cess OF It's manufacture. In this
way, b required food is presented
to b system in a pre-digested form
and is Immediately made INTO blood
tissue, without taxing the diges-
tive organs.
A remarkable result in nourish-
ment is obtained; the person using
Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical
and mental strength. Why in men,
tai? Because the food contains del
icate particles of Phosphate of Pot
ash obtained from the grains, and
this unites with the albumen of all
food and the combination is what
nature uses to rebuild worn out cells
In the brain. This is a scientific fact
that can be easily proven by ten
days use of Grape-Nuts. There's

London.-Beauty specialists here

feather of her hat out of one window,
the bunch of flowers out of the other

this she sits crouched, with her shout
ders huddled, her neck bent and that
expression of patient resignation on
her face which is the sure forerun-

nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. One

that we had better take her to some eye

went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he
said the eyesight was gone. We were near
