 Nearly two years later the Collins liner, the Pacific, dropped down the Mersey with 180 souls on board. She was accounted one of the stoutest and swiftest vessels of her time, and so no doubt she was. But she went the way the City of Glasgow had gone a couple of years earlier, and for years has been lying at the bottom of the sea, but where none may know till all se- crets are revealed. The training vessel Atalanta started a quarter of a cen tury ago for a short cruise in Bermu- dan waters, and from that day to this no one knows what became of her and the 250 souls she carried
 On January 28, 1870, the City of Bos- ton sailed from Halifax for England with 191 souls on board She was an Indian liner, a fine ship, splendidly equipped and handled, but she, too, was destined to vanish from the face of the waters.
 The victim of still another remem- bered ocean mystery was the Presi- dent, a fine vessel, which was expected at Liverpool in March, lS41. March passed and Liverpool saw nothing of her. The long delay In her arrival caused great anxiety, and the widest rumors began to be circulated. On April 13 news came that her engines and rudder had been disabled in heavy weather and that she had put into Madeira for repairs, and there natur- ally followed a reaction from gloomy

MORE VIRILITY IS
 NEEDED IN CHURCH
BISHOP CANDLER DELIVERS A STIRRING ADDRESS ON NECES- SHY FOR STRONG AND ABLE CHURCH LAYMEN.

Atlanta. September 23.-"What we want is nor virility and less effeminacy," said Bishop w. A. Candler before the assem- bled Methodist ministers of Atlanta at the regular conference today. We've got to be more vigorous. We have big work to perform and we want 10 show that we mean business"
 Bishop Candler was talking of the lay mems missionary movement and the re- cent meeting at Knoxville and said he had noticed tendency in the men to drop away from thee hurch.
 "They are leaving things to the wom- en- he continued. "This is not hard to account for. Pretty little curled-up speeches and curled-up words don't draw men. They draw men away. It's plain, straight talk and hard words and busi- ness actions that attract the kind of peo- pie we are after. We need virllity. The men must be fed with something meaiy, not choled to death with adjectves. Sem mary stuff won't do."

The Murderous Motorist.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The auto driver looked ahead Fifty feet in front of him were two rural trav- elers waiting in the roadway for a car. He pulled his clutch to neutral, and the auto slowly rolled on.
 "Quick, Ezra"' cried the woman, and, seizing her scompanion, she tried to drag him toward the curb.

BESSEMER TRADE HAS GOOD OUTLOOK Still Better Business is Expected
 in October IMPROVING OF VETERINARY Police Matinee Brings Out Some Pe- cuIiar offenses Committed by Ne groes Who Make Mayors
 Acquaintance.
IMPROVING OF VETERINARY

Bessemer, September 23.-(Special)-- Trading in this city during the past week was especially good when it is taken into consideration that there were no pay days and furthermore that it Is just between seasons when the people have not decided just what they want In any line.
 The merchants in the dry goods, grocery and hardware business report a very good weeks trade. and say that there is nothing to complain of.
 Especially is this a bad season for the dry goods and furnishing people for the simple fact that as stated above, the sea- son is just midway between the summer and winter seasons, and for that reason a great many are holding off while be- fore they make their fall and winter purchases.
 The groceryrnen report having done fair trade for the entire week, and state they find the masses are calling for and de- mandlng a better article all the time.
 Business has been just little quiet iE the hardware line for the past week. This is attributed to the fact that most of the crops have been made by the farm- CTS living in this district, and naturally farming impliments are not in very great demand.
 Business always slacks off during the latter part of the month, but 1t is expect ed that by October 1 unusual activity will be shown.

Robinson's infirmary. located on Third avenue, between Eighteenth and Seven- teenth streets, is being thoroughly reno- vated in every respect, and besides an ad- dition is being made to the main build ing. Three new rooms are being added. The larger of the three will be used as an operating room, while the other two will be utilized as sleeping rooms for the nurses. This step was found to be very necessary, as the business of the infirm1 ary has increased very largely during the past few months, and 1t was found almost impossible to handle the great number of patients unless some extra accommoda- tions were provided.

NEW TRUNK MYSTERY
 PUZZLES SEATTLE
BODY OF A YOUNG WIFE FOUND IN A TRUNK AND IDENTIFIED, BUT HER HUSBAND HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED.

Seattle, Wash, September 23.-The body of an unknown girl about IS years old was found in a trunk yesterday on the beach, about two miles south of El1icott bay In the trunk were two letters, one of which was written on a letter head of J. B. Covington, fuel, feed and hauling company, St. Paul, Minn., and was signed Edith.
 The police tonight identified the body of the woman found stuffed in the trunk as that of Mrs. Agnes Truman McComb Gov ington, r years old. The woman had been strangled to death She was the wife of Frank Covington, who was for sev- eral months employed as a salesman in Seattle
 Covington is missing and the police are looking for him.
 The body in the trunk had been dead at least week.
 St Paul, Miun., September 23.-J B. Covington of this city, whose firms let ter paper was found fin the trunk said:
 "Edth Covington. aged g, and Frank Covington, aged %, W gre brother and sis- ter and raised by their grandparents in Catlettsburg. Ky. After they had grown up they paid me visit and the boy left here off San Francisco. Later his sister received letter saying he was going to klondike. Edith married mad Is now living in Ruther Glen, Va I presume that while Edith was here she wrote to her brother on the firms letter paper and that may explain how the letter got Into the trunk. Our theory is that Frank left his trunk behind him when he went to the Klondike, and it may have fallen into other hands, The boy always bore an excellent reputation"
