The report of the Carnegie fund for the
advancement of teaching shows that al
ready $50 institutions have applied for a
share of the proceeds, and that of these
fifty-two have been placed IN the accept
cd list, having met the conditions in re-
gard to Observation-Disclosures and academ-
ic standards. In the accepted institutions
forty-five professors nave received more

professors have been assisted. One-half

The gift of $1,Oo0,0O0 to the Emma
Willard seminary, and $1,OO0,0OO to the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic institute, both of
Troy, n. Y, and also S25O,OOO to the ma
tional committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association, have been %announc-
ed. The gift to the Emma Willard semi
nary is due to the fact that Mrs. Sage
finished her education there, and has been
for years one of the most enthusiastic
alumna. In a letter to President Rick
etts of the Polytechnic, Mrs. Sage says
chat no conditions are attached to the
gift, and that it was made because of Mr..
Sage's personal relation to and interest
in the school, of which he was a trustee.
Neither of these gifts imply that Mrs.
Sage expects to specialize her charity in
educational lines. 1t is understood that
the money given to the Y. NJ. G. A. will
be used to erect a building for the execu-
tive Offices of the committee in Twenty

The District Attorney delved into the
witness past life with a familiarity as
to details and a store of general knowl-
edge which at times seemed to amaze
all who heard, not excepting the de-
PENDANTS counsel themselves. Mr.. Je-
rome indicated early in his question
ing that he had no disposition to spare
Mrs. Thaw's feelings. He questioned
the witness about her manner of pos
ing for artists, and he did not mince
words. Many photographs of Mrs.
Thaw were introduced in evidence.
Mr.. Jerome piled the youIfg woman
with questions as to what disposition
she had made of the letters written to
her by Stanford White. Some, she
said, had been destroyed and some she
had given to her husband.
Mr.. Jerome was assisted materially
in his cross-examination by typewriter
statements made by Mrs. Thaw's moth
er and by Howard Nesbit, her brother.
He consulted the statements from time
to time and jumped about from one
part Of Mrs. Thaw's story and one
period Of her life to another. taking
every advantage Of the ruling which
| allowed him wide latitude in testing
the credibility Of the witness. Mr.. Del
mas, contrary to expectations, inter
posed few objections.

NenJ Hook Of Holland, Breaks In
Two aud Sinks cdiateIy.

A disastrous steamship wreck attend
ed with great loss of life, occurred
Thursday off the Hook of Holland,
when the Great Eastern Railway Com
pany's steamer Berlin, bound from Har-
wich, England, to h Hook of Hol-
land, was lost. OF those on board, 141
persons in all, of whom n~inety-one We're
passengers, all but one We're drowned.
The wreck occurred off the north pier
Of the Hook of Holland.
The agents Of the wrecked steamer
say that although they are not positive
regarding the numbers, they believe
the vessel carried 120 passengers and a
crew of sixty officers and men.
The wreck occurred at 6 o'clock in
the morning. during a terrific south
westerly gale. The steamer struck the
north jetty, while trying to enter the
new waterway at the Hook of Holland.
She broke in two, the forward part i'm
mediately sinking. while the passengers
and crew gathered on the stern, where
they vainly attempted to use the life
boats.
The Berlin left Harwich at 10
o'clock Wednesday night, upon the ar
rival there of the London train with
the greater number of passengers who
subsequently lost their lives. The
steamer should have reached the Hook
Of Holland at 6 O'Clock Thursday morn
ing and would have then proceeded for
Rotterdam. .... @

North Sea when the Berlin started. AS
the Berlin was entering the waterway

The alarm was given and lifeboats
from the shore went to the assistance
