Not a Soul Is Saved Ship Weathers
Terrific Gale But Strikes Shore
While Entering Harbor Passen-
ger List Lost and Not Known
Who Was On Board.

LOHuOH, Eng, = tU. y So l'ne
worst disaster for many years In the
history Of a busy cross-channel traf-
fcS between England and the Cont
nent occurred during violent gale
shortly before O'Clock yesterday
morning, when the Rotterdam mail
steamer Berlin, from Harwich to
Hook Of Holland, having safely
weathered tho hurricane, was
wrecked as she was entering port.
All her passengers and crew NUM-
lbering altogether 143 persons lost
their lives. ssj
The terrific seas broke up the
|steamer with such awful suddenness
that all efforts to save life appear
| to have been utterly hopeless AT a
l7late hour last evening II was report
ed that some few survivors were
still clinging to the wreck, hut as
heroic efforts all day long OF life
1 boat crews had failed to reach than,
little hope that they will be saved
remains.
The story Of the disaster is told
with dramatic intensity by the fol-
lowing brief but pregnant messages
reaching Harwich from a nagent Of
the Great Eastern Railroad company
at Hook Of Holland. The first mes
sage was handed IN at the Hook at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday morning and
ran as follows: 4 4
The Berlin is stranded at North
Pier. Her position is very danger
Gus. There Is heavy gale blow
Ing. Tugs and Nfeboats were so
ing out to her assistance
The second message was sent OF
/ at 1880 and said: \
i The position Of the Berlin is
7, still very dangerous. Heavy gale
still blowing. We have tried to take
of passengers with tug boat and
life boat, butt without success up to
1 the present. !"
The third message was timed at
the Hook at q: 2 and reached EIar-
wich at $40 and read:
The Berlin has broken In two,
and very probably will prove q to-
tai loss Her crew are still on
board. Lifeboats and tugs are try
ing to save passengers. Z
The fourth message came through
the London ONCE Of the railway COM
I. pany. It was timed at the Hook at
III o and said:
Ut is impossible to reach the
4 Berlin to save passengers. We will
4 do the best We can. The poop Of the
ship is under water. 8
Then at 1896 came the fifth and
last message: 80

her crew and passengers Nobody

Baffied by the long list Of solid,
cold, hard facts about the Harmer
maladministration of the city. gov
eminent as shown to the people by
the Daily Telegram, the Evening
Garbage Pail proceeds to manufac-
ture lot of nonsense which ii terms
as "falsehoods," none of which has
ever been uttered or published, or
even thought Of. which It proceeds to
vigorously deny. For example, the
statement is made, and supported by
uncontrovertable facts, that Harmer
has lost money. and big gobs OF 1t,
in his mismanagement of certain de-
Dartments Of the city government. In
answer to this the Evening Garbage
Pail comes out and declares that the
statement that Harvey w. Harmer
has red hair and green eyes is utter
~ false, or some such silly stun
equally as ludicrous. This policy Of
the Evening Garbage Pail is so ex-
tremely ridiculous that it cannot fail
to be accepted only in It's true light
by intelligent citizens.

takes to repeat It's history along this
line and convicts itself of dishonesty
in policy. Mr.. Harmer being mayor
of the city ought to be in position to
know that there is not scintilla of
evidence that the Republicans have
on foot any movement to commit
election frauds. He as mayor
knows the suburbs and what are
there. He knows there has been no
budding of illegal voters. He also
knows the Harmer paper has but
one object in this and that is to take
advantage of the people of Clarks-
burg by deceiving them, IL possible.
He knows such statements are dis
honest, but he makes no move to cor
rect them.
Also the Harmer paper will find
that the railroad records last year
will not show that men were brought
here by the car or train load just
prior to the election or on election
day or at any other time during that
year for the purpose of voting. He
also knows they will not show that
car loads have been brought this
year. As mayor he is in position to
know it. aud, If he does not know it,
he certainly is reprehensible for per-
hitting his mouthpiece to make any
such false declarations.
The Telegram here challenges him
to make good what his paper
says about this matter, and, If he re-
fuses to accept the challenge, he
thereby confesses the untruthfulness
Of what his mouthpiece says.

right to vote. The Harmer set sail
ing falsely under the name of reform
did also not want the real reformers
of the city to have the right to name
candidate on that ticket for any
city Office. So they just quietly met
in Captain John Coffman's Office and
nominated the Harmer ticket so
steathily that it is matter of some
doubt whether the Harmer paper
knew about 1t at the time. At least
it did not mention it then or has it
mentioned that fact since. The
ruth, as their actions prove, is they
did not want the real reformers of
Clarksburg to nominate the ticket
and now they seek to deprive hun
dreds of legal voters of their right
to vote. Will the people of Clarks-
burg stand for any such outrages?

Harmer,s False Assumption.

Hayor Harmer assumes to take
the credit to himself for providing
for registration, laboring under the
delusion, perhaps. that the people of
Clarksburg would never learn any
better.
Mayor Harmer is entitled to no
credit, whatsoever. The circum-
stances will prove that assertion and
it is the proof the Telegram has been
springing on Mr.. Harmer all the
time to his discontinue.
City Clerk Cole is the first official
that mentioned the matter of regis.
tration. He ascertained that Former
Assessor Camp had not taken itand
would not take 1t. Mr.. Cole called
Mayor Harmer's attention to the
matter, which he had neglected as q
part of his sworn duty to see enforc-
ed. Mr.. Harmer had evidently for
gotten the matter altogether or
schemingly overlooked it. Clerk
Cole insisted that he should call the
council together, act on Mr.. Camps
resignation, appoint his successor
and take steps for registration. Har-
mer finally consented and did call
council together, so eager did he
seem to prevent full and complete
registration, that he proceeded at
once to recommend to the council
that but two days be allowed for
registration. The council very
promptly and very properly in tho
interest of all the legal voters of
Clarksburg defeated his design
against the citizenship and fair
election, and refused to do any such
an outrageous thing. The council
wanted all the time possible for
registration and that is the way we
now have it and not the way Mayor
Harmer wanted and urged.
So, it Is easy to see how false is
his assumption that he should have
the credit for giving the voters OF
Clarksburg chance to register. He
simply did not want all the legal
voters of Clarksburg to register and
his own actions and words prove this
assertion.

Deception Exposed.

Under glazing headlines of the
most deceptive nature last spring
the Harmer paper undertook to per-
suade the people of Clarksburg that
whole train loads of foreigners and
colored people were brought to the
suburbs of the city and huddled in
campsP hollow logs and rabbit bur-
rows to be brought into the city on
election day and voted for the Re
publican ticket. This year that pa
per is using the same deceptive and
fraudulent methods, and Mr.. Harmer
stands for it. Indeed, he must most
heartily approve of it, notwithstand.
ing the fact that he poses as one who
believes in fair and honest and hon
orable election and campaign with.
out deception. If Mr.. Harmer did
not approve of that sort of hypo-
critical campaign. he would see thar
1t was not thus conducted by his pa.
per, which, 1t is stated he has pur-
chased for this campaign, as has been
said he did last year, with big roll
of the long green.
The truth OF the matter Is that at.
ter all the glazing Measurements the
AAAA A1iS4 paper maui LdSI year JUST
prior to the election in this respect
there were no evidences on election
day that any such voters, legal or IL.
legal, had been so brought in OF
huddled. The total vote was even
less than 1t was the year before and
leading Harmer men at that time
made the assertion, when the polls
had closed that they had never seen
q cleaner election in Clarksburg or
one more lawfully conducted. But,
few, If any who offered to vote, were
turned down, and in the case Of the
few who were, 1t was simply because
they were not acquainted with the
legal requirements.
If our memory serves us correctly
the Harmer paper itself after the
election was over did not charge
fraud or any real attempt at fraud.
Thus do all the circumstances of
last years election IN reference to a
clean election disprove every asser-
ton made by the Hammer paper this
year that movement is on foot on
the part Of the Republican party or
any of Its members TO commit fraud
in the election. The Harmer pa
per condemns itself, when 1t under

tween Harvey w. Harner and the
poses he strikes for the public to
gaze upon and William Randolph
Hearst and the latter's independence

howled against the Ubiquitous, all de-
vouring trusts and when it was
shown to the people that he was OPP
Grating a number Of big trusts him
self in the same manner he so strong
~ protested against the people bur-
led his hypocrisy under an avalanche
of votes. Harmer howled himself
hoarse about the peoples money and
as soon as he got into Office he pro-
ceeded to lose 1t at a rate much more
rapid that the speed he declared he
would make 1t for the people.
Harmer ought to get himself in

An Evening Echo.

The kite is a bird which delights
in the fire. air, and scars aloft as II
1t would fain approach to heaven;
all the while, however, 1t keeps its
sharp eye continually directed to the
earth, If haply it may there spy some
prey to seize; and like it are hypo-
critics; they love to speak of heaven
ly and spiritual things; they go to
church, and take the holy supper,
they read, and pray and sing; but
nevertheless their heart retains its
earthly inclination and they seek that
which is temporal more than that
which is eternal.-Gotthold.

PLANTING TROUT.
One Point on Which the Old Man
Wanted More Lioht

! It was the policy Of the officers Of n
certain railroad line in Ill their ad:er-
Using matter to place great stress OIL
the excellence Of the trout fishing to he
reached by their lines, and In ORDER to
provide the trout it was necessary from
time to time to plant the advertised
streams with fry.
On one occasion an old gardener
named Conelly, who had charge Of
the station grounds, was sent out with
the cans Of try, procured from the
state hatchery, and railroad map
marked to show exactly where to plant
the tiny fish. !
Conelly returned that night, however,
with part of the fry still implanted.
He needed further instructions from
the general passenger agent, who had
marked the map.
"Say, mister" said Conelly, scratch
ing his perplexed head with one hand
and pointing to the can with the other,
shall plant thin fish wild the tails
up or DOWN.
"Why," shouted the irascible agent,
you laundering blockhead"-
"Aisy, aisy!" murmured Conelly.
"Oi'm no such blockhead as ye'd think.
The shpot on the map where We towld
me to plant thin trout is all billed
down to mud. If thin small fish is to

PHOTOGRAPHIC STARS.
When Done With Ordinary Camera
They Show as Lines, Not Spscks.

When Done With Ordinary Camera
They Show as Lines, Not spseks.
1t is an easy matter merely to pho
lograph stars. The trouble is t. pic
ture them as points ana not as streak ;,
for as the earth rotatcs it carries the
Photographic apparat;:s with it, and
the light from the star makes line.
while the astronomer wants point.
He must therefore devise 4 machine
that will counterfeit the movement Of
the earth and SO keep the light steadily
in the same place on the plate. Elab-
crate clockwork must turn the lecs
backward to keep it on the star and at
the same rate as that at which the
earth moves forward.
An astronomer at the Yerles observ-
atory at Williams Bay. Wis, Is quoted
in st. Nicholas as saying that many
of the most important results Of rs,
tronomy have been derived from the
use of an ordinary camera. On L clear
night point one of these toward the
north pole, and it will be found after
ali exposure Of one or two hours that
the stars which lie near the pole have
drawn arcs Of circles upon the plate.
This is due to the fact that the earth
is rotating upon its axis ut such a rate
as to cause every star in the sky to
appear to travel through complete
circle once in twenty-four hours.
The mere act of photographing is not
much more difficult than short ex-
posture out of the window of moving
car. Any one can try it.
Let the exposure be for at least five
minutes if the camera is pointed over
head and for at least one hour if d.
rected toward the pole star. The cam
era may BE- left out all night if pointed
at the pole, but must be taken in just
before daylight. The longer the ex-
posture the longer the star scratches"
Develop the plate as long as possible.

DRIVING THE LOGS.

Skill and Activity Of the Expert River
man In Action.
First and foremost your true river
man can ride log. This does not mean
merely that he is able to stand upright
or to jump from one to another with
out splashing in. though even that is
no mean feat, as trial will convince
you. That is the kindergarten Of it..
The saw log in the water is not only
his object Of labor, but his means OF
transportation. Your true riverman on
drive seldom steps on land except to
eat and sleep.
A journey down stream is to him an
affair of great simplicity. He pushes
into the current Il stick Of timber,
jumps lightly atop it, leans against his
peavy anil floats away as graceful and
motionless as a Grecian statue. When
his unsta bic craft overtakes other logs
he deserts 1t, runs forward as far as be
can, the logs bobbing and awash be-
iind his spring, and so continues OH
another timber. Jack Boyd once for a
bet rode for twelve miles down Grand
river on log he could carry to the
streams bank across his shoulders
Fully half the time his feet were sub
merged to the ankles.
Nor does quick water always cause
your expert riyermap to disembark
Using his peayy as balancing pole
and treaGing with squirrel-like quick
ness as his footing rolls, he will run
rapids of considerable force and vol
uc1e. When the tail of a drive passes
through the chute of dam there are
always half a dozen or so of the rear
men who out of sheer brayado will run
through standing upright like circus
riders and yelling like fiends.-Stewart

Marriage Expenses.

Careful observation, extending over q
period Of forty-two years and supple
mented by thousands Of interviews
with storekeepers, hairdressers, mo-
0lstes, 1nilliners, collectors and others.
leads us to believe that the average
cost Of a brides trousseau in this coun-
try-taking the rich with the poor-is
the sum of $663S. Equally careful OBJ
servatiOn convinces us that the av-
crage cost OF bridegroom's sartorial
o::yfit is slightly less than one-third
that amount, or, to be exact, $22.O1.
Thus we have $3.50 as the cost Of the
garments worn by bride and bride
groom at the average wedding and in
the course of the average honeymoon.
