the Portland Thursday morning when the mail and express and passengers were transferred and brought to Valdez, reaching here last night.
 The forward compartment is loaded with steam coal for Valdez, and all of the other freight for this place, 25O tons, is Tn the alter com paltments which, when the Port land left, were still dry. In case . wind from the northwest or south west does not start up, the freight may be all saved and will be brought here on the Santa Clar'. If such a wind should arise. how ever. it is very likely that the yes SC, will he wrenched so hard that the partition seperating the for ward and after holds will be broken, and that will mean the loss of all the freight, as the whole vessel will fill. There is now i7 feet of water in the forward hold, the rocks protruding clear through into the vessel. All of the coal in that section will be loss:
 Captain Truebridge and Purser Triegs came in on the Portland 10 report to the home office. They will return to the wreck on the Santa Clara.
 A n mbe: O gasoline tanks will be taken from here 10 be used in endeavoring to raise the bow after the cargo is discharged, so that the vessel can be freed rom the rocks and beached, but Capt. Truebridge st ltes that he does not believe she can be foated without the assis- tance of wrecking vessel.
 Following were the passengers on the Northwestern al the time of the wreck: H E Reveil, Ed Low ell, T McAvov. A H Jones and wife, Pete Anance, E Carlson, to Seattle; J NJ Graf, A P Dickson, F Baldauf, Mrs Anna Baldauf, Harry Baldauf, Edna Baldauf, Ii Hummell, H Levie, Blamey Stew ens and wife, Mrs Chisance, M r White, Dr. Anthony, E Kelton, F Tracy and wife, H Malllard, Latouche to Valdez; Wm Welsh, J D Meenach and wife Miss Neva Wood, Mir and Mrs c Schroder.

Gets Twenty-Five Years.

GcCS 1WenLy-UVe ' calls.
 Twenty-Five years in the peni- tentiary at McNeil's island is the sentence that Bailey, the murderer
 Mcintosh. will have to serve. Bailey was before the court at ten o'clock this morning to hear sen tence pronounced. When asked what reason he could present why sentence should not be passed up- on him, he said he relied entirely upon the evidence in his favor at the trial and had nothing further to say. The judge in commenting on the case said that too many men have beer taking advantage of the insanity defense to escal g punishment for their crimes, and in his opinion. whether insane or not, a dangerous man should be confined where he could do no damage, and sentenced him to 25 years in prison.
 The case in ejectment of the One Man Mining Co. vs. Murray, which was presented to the court in briefs, was decided in favor of the plain tiff. The udge stated that the failure of the defendants to proper. lv marx the boundaries, and their location of claim on ground al- ready located, invalidated their claim.
 At eight o'clock this evening the matter of the granting of liquor licenses in the town will be con- sidered by the judge, and instruc- tions have been issued to require the presence of the protestants at that time, particularly Revs. Fay Tor and Burnett Those favoring granting the applications will also be heard.
 Court will adjourn tonight. the judge leaving for Juneau on the Portland tomorrow.
 The trial jury was dismissed this afternoon.

Instead of Cutting Corks.

After withdrawing cork from bottle the former rapidly expands, and when one wishes to replace it one fre- quently finds that it hns become too large for the purpose. The usual reme- dy in such cases is to pare pieces off the side. This. however, is seldom sat isfactory. for the cork, as a rule, is far from airtight. and in some cases will not even keep the liquid in. A better way is to place it on the floor and roll it backward and forward with ones foot. putting a certain amount of pres sure on 1t. After few minutes of this persuasive treatment 1t will have be- come fairly soft and can be inserted in the bottle without difficulty.

SLAP AT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
President Wilson Declares Methods of
 Last Two Decades Worthless.


 Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton, made speech the other night in which he condemned the sys- tenn of education that has been follow ed for the last two decades as almost worthless and made plea for an ed- ucational system laid upon scientific basis, says the New York World. He made his address before the conven- ton of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools, held in the Town send Harris hall of the University of the City of New York.
 President Wilson said we have just passed through period when in edu- cational matters men did not hold themselves to plan, but opened wide the gates; "a period" he said, when to the wide domain of knowledge has been added subject after subject until the domain itself had to be widened to take them in; a period of the so called elective system of studies when the student himself selected the studies which he thought most worth while to him; period of dispersion, of dissolution, of standards, abounding in pedagogic theories, making experi- ments put forth out of educational curiosity rather than deep conviction.
 "We all know that the children in the last two decades in our schools have not been educated. With all our training we have trained nobody. With all our instruction we have in- structed nobody. It is not necessary for me to tell this audience that in- formation is not education. But we are on the eve of a period of recon struction. We are throwing away the aimless and standardless methods of the past and coming down to the fun damental truths which are at the basis of all real education.
 "Education in this modern age stands in need of two things. The first is technical training. The major ity of our young men must be made mechanics not merely of the hands, but also of the mind. There is no limit to the physical and intellectual me chanics needed. The great majority of our youths should be given an exact and thorough technical training.
 Second, we need that kind of edu- cation which for many ages has borne among us the name of liberal education If ever an age needed those who can see beyond the horizon it is this age. If ever an age needed statesmanship of mind, of men lifted a little above their fellow men who can see beyond the horizon. it is this age If we have this great army of mechanics with no one to see visions, no one to overlook the field, no one to organize the forces, We shall stumble upon immediate disaster. There is so much to coordinate in our thinking that we are sadly in need of thinkers"
 Dr. Wilson said there should be few CT subjects taught and suggested that it was better that student should be well taught in one or two branches than to have a smattering of several As now conducted. he said, the student is among a miscellany of studies and master of none

A Pcrseverinu Traveller,

A commercial traveller who is noted for his perseverance once called on merchant and sent in his card, re- questing an interview, says western paper. Happening to glance into the office he saw the recipient tear up his card and throw 1t into the waste paper basket. The office boy returned with the old story that "Mr. E. was sorry, but he could not see him."
 The traveller, nothing daunted, re- quested that Mir. B. should return his card, which of course he had seen de- stroyed In a minute the boy returned and handed him twopence and re- marked that Mir B. had destroyed the card and thought that this sum would cover the damage.
 The traveller succeeded in getting an- other card into Mfr. B.'s sanctum. and Mir. B. read on 1t. These cards are two fos threepence."
 He got his interview. and Mir B. be- came one of his best customers.-Lon- don Mail.

Oriuin of Riuht Handedness

According to one good authority. pr. Cunningham of London. right handed ness is of great antiquity and was at tained in the ordinary evolution of man by natural selection. But the condition does not reside in the right arm itself, for all the evidence goes to show that 1t is due to functional pre-eminence on the left side of the brain. This su- periority of the left brain rests upon some structural foundation. the origin of which is not explained. but which is transmitted from parent to offspring Left handedness Is due to the trans ference of this structural peculiarity from the left 10 the right side of the brain or. more probably, to a transpO- sition of the cerebral hemispheres. like that which sometimes occurs in the thoracic and abdominal viscera.
