EUREKA, Cal, July 23.-From Ben
Hendrickson, first mate on the San Pedro,
who was on the bridge at the time of the
accident, the following version of how the
collision and wreck occurred has been
obtained.
1T was about ten or fifteen minutes
past II clock Sunday morning when the
lookout, e. Sodberg. told me that there
was a whistle ahead on the port bow,
and l ported .ne helm a couple of points,
LAS the sound came nearer l told the
man at the wheel to port the helm again.
1 continued to sound the fog signal. The
approaching vessel answered the fog
signal.
Then came two blasts of the Column
bias whistle. When 1 saw the lights on
the Columbia 1 gave four rapid blasts of
the whistle, mat is the danger signal.
1.-The engine was stopped before
sounded the danger signal, because l gave
the engineer two bells to stop before CIV
ing the four whistles.
1.-THE Columbia was crossing the San
Pedro's bow.
1.-The San Pedro struck the Columbia
on the starboard side, about % or 80 feet
from the bow.
1.-The Columbia was not very far away
when 1 first saw her lights, and when l
saw the lights 1 blew the whistle. I saw
that there was no show for us to the
starboard helm. Our only salvation was
to port the helm, which 1 did"

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 23.-Col. Will
Hayes, the veteran river editor of the
Courier. Journal, song writer and poet,
died at his home here today of vertigo,
caused by a stroke of paralysis suffered
in the Iroquois theater fire in Chicago.
He was 70 years of age.
Col Hayes always claimed the author
ship of the original words of Dixie"
and that he was responsible for the ar
rangement of the music
His version of Dixie" was written at
the outbreak of the Civil War, but the
words were considered so seditious that
the writer was arrested and compelled to
change them.
BY that time, it is said Dan Emmett
the minstrel, had written his song and
his publisher had 1t copyrighted
Col. Hayes most famous song was
molly Darling" the sales of which
reached 100000 copies in Europe and

HE SHIPS 1000
BOXES OF APPLES

Frank Barney. one of the fruit
growers in the Pear Park district,
had two thousand boxes OF apples
this year and only one hundred of
the number were graded as Fancy"
He was in the small section which
was visited by a heavy hail storm
during the summer that marked
most of the apples and as he ships
through the Grand Valley Fruit and
Produce association it will be seen
that they are keeping up the grade
of the fruit shipped. 1t is go I'd
deal of hardship to lose the extra
price which always attaches to the
very finest quality of fruit, but in
no other way can the valley secure
the fancy prices in the years to come.
The fancy fruit mostly goes to the
eastern markets and is sold for the
fancy retail trade where color and
perfection is demanded. 1t is not
enough these days that the fruit
raisers kill the worms before they
enter the apple, but they must be
destroyed before they hatched just
under the skin and in eating out
secure the requisite amount of poison
to cause death, but at the same time
leave speck. This specked fruit
will not go into the fancy pack and
should not do so If our fruit re-
ceives the high prices.

should put the law of hospitality
above that Of personal comfort; but
how about it when the possible donor
knows that the possible recipient

he does? Shall he strive to obey a

Shanghai, China.-WhOever gets a
square look at the real China knows
that he has seen the theater and
actors of great events that are immi-
nent and impending. The Importance,
the far-reaching influence and the
amazing rapidity of the transforma'
tion now taking place in this country
will be learned with surprise one day
by the big, uncaring world outside. In
the meantime, it is the office of the
present investigator to show how
Christian missions have become in
wrought into every phase of Chinese
life, as shaping influence.
Next to the relation between edu~
cation and missions must be men,
toned medical missions, that supreme
proof of the altruism of the west with
respect to the east. Here again the
magnitude Of the material altogether
precludes anything like a systematic
presentation of the subject, for medi-
cal missions are found in every part
of China, from port cities to remote
interior towns, placing the healing
arts of the west at the service of the
suffering east, and thus winning the
confidence, respect and admiration of
the natives.

and to win the favor of the idol and

Making Shoes Out Of Bibles.
In the lavish free distribution of all
this literature, it is inevitable that
abuses arise; from several widely-sep-
arated missionaries l have heard the
complaint that portions of the Bible
are being used to make soles for Chi
nese shoes, since they can be pur-
chased more cheaply than common pa
per. The donors to the Bible So
cieties never intended to help Chinese
soles after this fashion. l am assured
by the agent of the American Bible
society for China that, speaking only
for his own society, this abuse has
never been charged against any Of his
more than 100 colporteurs, who are
not paid by commission, which is the
root of the evil. Less than one per
cent. of the total annual circulation of
more than half million copies is Civ
en- away; the cheapest New Testa-
ments and gospel portions, on native
paper, are sold at one-third the cost
of manufacture. Whatever evils exist
in connection with the distribution of
the Bible in China will probably be
corrected in connection with the forth
coming Robert Morrison centennial in
Shanghai.
The great gathering, convening
April 25-May S, which is the event to
which all missionary eyes are turned,
promises to be a memorable milestone
in Missionary history. Committees of
experts have been at work for 12
months preparing deliverances upon
all the big problems of Chinese mis-
sions. At this time the three com.
mittees which have been at work up
on the new translations of the Bible,

Demi-Empire Skirts.

So many smart skirts continue to
show demi-empire lines that one can
not dispel the thought that these carly
period modes are here to stay for the
winter at least. Quite charming is a
,custome in coral face cloth with a
plain skirt of demi-empire form, fin
tished at the front with four rows of
stitching. All the seams of the coat
and around the edge are laid with
fancy silk braid. But the chic of the
costume, as is often the case, resides
in the waistcoat, which is of fine white
cloth, striped with. pale pink, black
and mauve to form little diamond
shaped designs.
