lIFE-SAvERS UNABLE TO HELP
Rotterdam Steamer Berlin, With 141
Passengers and Crew of SO, Wreck
cd Of the Hook of Holland, Every
Soul Aboard With One Exception
Disappearing in Mountainous
Waves.

london, BY Cahle.-The Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from England,
with AL passengers and crew, was
wrecked off the Hook of Holland, at
the entrance of the River Mas, lead
Ing to Rotterdam, shortly before 6
o'clock Friday morning, and with one
exception all Oh board perished.
a terrific southwesterly gale was
blowing right in shore and drove
the Berlin on a sand bank close to
the northern jetty as she was trying
to enter The new waterway. Heavy
seas quickly pounded the vessel to
pieces. She broke in two, her fore
part. sinking, Immediately, while the
doomed passengers and crew could
be seen for a brief space Of time
clustered on the afterpart. Then the
afterpart slipped off the ledge and dis
appeared insthe mountainous waves.
Tugs and life boats, when the alarm
was first sounded, promptly put out
to the assistance of the Berlin, but
the violence Of the gale and the
heavy seas made it impossible to ap-
: zach the wreck, and the helpless
1d-be life savers saw the steamer
'tak up and the crew and passeng-
as washed away without being able
to render the slightest assistance.
The Berlin left Harwich a. 10
o'clock Thursday night, apon the ar
rival there of the London train with
the greatest number of passengers
who subsequently, lost their lives. The
steamer should have reached tile Hook
of Holland at 6 o'clock Friday MORN
ing and would have then proceeded
for Rotterdam.
All on Board Drowned.
AS the Berlin was entering the
waterway at the entrance Of the river
Mas, she apparently became unman-
agable on account Of the force of the
wind and was driven ashore. The
alarm was, given and life boats from
the shore went to the assistanc of
the steamer, but the seas were so III
that the boats were unable to ap-
proach: the Berlin close enough to
take off spny of. the passengers or
crew and the life boat men had to
sit helpless while the steamer pound
ed until she broke in two and every
soul on board was carried down. The
steamer apparently struck off and
sank Immediately, while her after
part could be seen for a considerable
period Of time afterwards. ~
The waterway in which the disas-
teno occurred is "a new. one on the north
side Of which IS the pier and r;d1iillroads
station. The steamer must have been
within few miles OF tying up after
her rough passage across the North
Sea when she was overtaken by the
disaster. Land was but a few yards
away, and except in the toughest
weather those OH board the Berlin
could have been rescued without dif-
Gculty especially as the waterway is
naMgable- at all tides.

FASHIONS IN MAIDS CAPS

little cap of white null is nothing
more than a sextette bow with three
loops on both sides of plated loop.
Another cap shows two rosettes at

simply will not wear strings to the
cap, so the small affairs grow more
diminutive and more elaborate each
year. There was quite lively discus
sion about the black cap, yet many
vowed to wear none at all unless a
black one, so the change was brought
about after a deal of coaxing and
pouting. Few maids care TO be labeled

WORTH CLIPPING.

Ugly marks caused by Sits or
cracked places on furniture are easily
filled in with beeswax and the mark is
never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blem-
ishes. First slightly soften the bees
wax until it is like putty. then press
firmly into the cracks and smooth even
ly with q thin steel knife. OF course, a
putty knife is best for the purpose, but
dull case knife win do. Sandpaper
over the surrounding wood and work
the dust into the beeswax. This gives
a wood finish or color and when the
furniture is vanished. you will look
in vain for the blemishes. Often this
defect occurs in the panels of furni-
ture, headboards Of beds and tables.

you win be delighted with the result

Temper.

Temper makes one ridiculous, once in
while. The other day woman was
gingerly picking her way across one of
the uptown streets. She had an UNI
brela, a hand bag and several pack
ages and was trying her best to hold
all of these safely, and lift her skirt
above the mud at the same time.
When she was about half way across
the clang of a street car bell startled
her, and down went one of the little
white parcels in the mud. The woman
glared at the parcel, then at the motor
man, and then, with countenance in
which rage and disgust struggled for
the mastery, she deliberately flung all
of the rest of her parcels, with her
pocketbook, into a convenient puddle,
after which she stalked to the sidewalk,
stepping in all of the water she could
find.
Reaching the sidewalk she glared at
everything in general, and at her aban-
doned packages in particular. By this
time the car was out of sight, and l am
quite sure the motorman was blissfully
ignorant of the storm he had raised.
She stood for about two minutes, then
meekly and shamefacedly waded back
into the mud, picked UP the parcels,
brushed them off as best she could and
hurried away from the spot.

FINE FURs.
present.

Decidedly are the fine furs of the season
Russian sable and ermine, though they are
not for the average woman. in the hrst
place the price is probibltve and ermine Is
mostly used on fine evening wraps. The
sleeveless coatee' is one of the novelties
OF the season, though it is garment which
looks like one did not have enough material
TO finish it. It is wonderful how many
effects are produced by using different col
ors to make tucks, stripes and outline
yokes on cuffs. Persian lamb is neat for
a short pony coat. The style is plain, sinl-
pie, neat. White pearl buttons of very
pretty pattern trim the double fronts and
the coat is lined with white peau de cygne.
Women cannot afford TO buy set oil
furs every winter, and there Is economy in
getting the very best when making pur-
chase, for nothing is so hopeless in style
as a poor fur set. 1t is better to have
none at all, if not the best

TO IMPROVE ONES
APPEARANCE.

A teaspoonful OF giycerin in cup or
water will stop severe paroxysm of
coughing.
I A teaspoonful of boraclp acid dissolved in
a pint of freshly boiled water is an ex-
cellent remedy for a sore throat Il used
as a gargle.
h Pumice stone may be used to kasgsss q a..
superfiuous hairs on the face hnd arms
There is one objection TO it--that,the hairs
sometimes return stiffer than they were
before.
For sore throat use one glass of hot
water, one teaspoonful OF sodn, three drops
of carbolic acid. Gargle once every hour,
1t is one Of the most reliable gargles
known and gives almost instant relief.
All toys that have been used by a child
suffering from an infectious disease should
be either burned or thoroughly dislnfected
before they are used again. Books used
by the little patient should be especially
guarded against.
An excellent astringent for tightening
loose skin and making it smooth and firm
can be made from e-quarter pint OF rose
water and a teespoonful OF tlncture of ben
zoin. This should be rubbed on the face
after massaeing and often proves beneficial
even when no creams have been used.
The daylight woman must be exquisitely
groomed. Just what this means no woman
can appreciate who has not been through
the process OF good grooming. It means
that one must be thoroughly cleansed, well
brushed; dressed as a lady should be
dressed and attired in approved fashion
throughout.

keep for use when something soothing is

VISITING NURSES IN
NEED OF FUNDS.

The Visiting Nurses Association met in
the Free Public Library yesterday after
noon to hear the officers reports for the
last month and to condnct the routine
business of the association.
Miss Norah Holman, the head nurse, re-
ported sixty-five new patients during the
month, fifty of whom have been dis
charged as cured and 107 cases now receiv-
ing attention. Thirty-four were taken to
the dispensary for treatment and three
sent to hispitals. Two were sent to the
convalescent home in Summit and ply
sicians' services wer procured for three
cases. Five hundred and seventy-eight
visits were made during the month.
The treasurer Halsey Nj. Tichenor, re-
ported on the finances of the association,
and said that when the milk and medicine
bills now due were paid there would be
but $40 in the treasury.
The great number of tubercular patients
treated by the association makes the sup
ply of milk used heavier than in former
years, and, consequently, adds greatly to
the monthly expenses.
The association is greatly in need of
funds, as many of the regular subscribers
have failed to send their usual conkribu-
ton. These and the public in general are
reminded that this is a worthy charity
and one deserving of their recognition.
Contributions may be sent to the treas
urer, Halsey NJ. Tichenor, or to the pres-
dent, the Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne.

THE LATEST
MODES IN FURS.

The furs are very lovely this season
and seem likely to be more than ever in
request no matter what the state Of the
temperature may be-
Ermine, both with and without the little
black tails will be chosen for richest even
ing wraps, and once again we shall have
the pleasure OF seeing short ermine coats
worn with white cloth skirts, and made
with sling sleeves. These ermine coats are
softened a little in front with trimmings
of embroidered velvet in vivid colorings,
and cascaded jabots of real lace.
Black broad-taii, although it Is now so
costly, partly on account of its increasing
rarity, is being used very largely for the
making Of quite tight-fitting coats of n
long three-quarter length. These coats are
lined with ivory-white satin, bordered in
side with gold or silver gallon, and ar
ranged with roll collars and gauntlet cuffs
In iris-purple or jade-green velvet, braided
lightly at the edge in a mixture of purple
or green with black and silver.
Russian sable skins of very fine quality,
and mink also, carefully worked to give
the always becoming effect of stripes run
ming downward from throat to feet, will
be used for gorgeous wraps. suitable alike
for day and evening wear, while other
beautiful coats. whose prices are less pro-
hibitive, are made entirely in moleskin
with the fur very cunnlngly contrived SC
that it gives the effect Of number OF
chevron stripes.
Silver fox stoles arranged in new way
fitting closely to the figure back and front
with a bolero effect will be among the
successes of the season, and will look
particularly well when they are accom-
panied by huge granny muffs of the same
fur, made of Two skins, with the heads
of the foxes at the one end and the
brushes at the other.
