with Downcy say that no one is in any
way responsible for the accident. He
was accustomed to the handling of

and time again OF the careless and in
different way in which he would handle
the sticks and especially when it came
to the point of taking the cap off with
his knife. He had been told during the
day in which the accident occurred not
to use his knife in taking off the cap.

CAUSE NOT EXPLAINED.

The cause of the accident has not been
satisfactorily explained. 1t ocorred Just
off Watch Hill, about II o'clock last
night when the three masted schooner
Harry Knowlton, bound from South
Amboy for Boston with a cargo OF coal,
crashed into the steamers port side
amidships, Capt George McNey of the
Larchmont. declares that the Knowlton
suddenly swervoi from her course, luf-
fed up into the wind ana crashed into
his vessel
Capt. Haley Of the KnoWlton asserts
that tho steamer did not give his vessel
sufficient sea room and that the collision
occurred before he could take his schoon-
or out of the path OF the oncoming
steamer.

SCHOONER KEPT AFLOAT.

The steamer. with a huge hole torn in
her side, was so seriously damaged that
no attempt was made to run for shore,
and she sank to the bottom IN less than
half an hour. The Knowltor, after she
had backed away from the wreck, be-
gan to fiji rapidly but her crew manned
the pumps and kept her afoat until
she reached point off Quonochontaug,
where they put out IN the life boat and
rowed ashore. There were no fatalities on
the schooner, but the men suffered
from the extreme cold.
There was no comparison. however, be-
tween their experiences and those of the
passengers and crew of the steamer A
ajority of those on tho Larchmont had
retired for the night and when the
collision occurred there were few on
board. with the exception of the crew,
WIZ were prepared for the weather
which prevailed. They hurried from the

STEAM CAUSED PANIC.

There were no water-t!ght compart-
ments to be closed and therefore the in
rushing food could not be confined to the
damaged section, and 1t poured in over
the cargo and down into the hold. As the
water struck the boiler room great clouds
Of steam arose and the panic stricken
passengers, many of whom had been
thrown from their hunks when the coils
ion occurred were at first under the i'm
preston that a fire had broken out on
board.
Unfortunately the point of collision was
in that part oT the steamer where was
located the signalling apparatus connect
ing the engine room with the pilot house
Captain McNey standing in the pilot
house could not communicate with his
subordinate officers below decks and
therefore was unable to determine the eN-
tent of the damage, The quartermaster
was hurried below TO make an investiSa-
ton.

SUFFERED FROM COLD.

The passengers meanwhile thronged
on to the decks Few of them had
waited to clothe themselves. Their
fear was so great that the first penc-
trating blast of the zero temperature
was disregarded. but the suffering from
the elements soon became so intense
that personal safety was forgotten in
general effort to keep the blood in
circulation. Those who had not stop
ped to clothe themselves now found 1t
impossible to return below and do so.
Their rooms were flooded soon after
they had been deserted and the dam
aged steamer foundering around In the
high seas that are feared by all sound
navigators was sinking with rapid
ity that sent terror to the hearts of the
officers and crew These men were

CRASHED INTO LARCHMONT.

Even before another warning signal
could be sounded on the steamers
whistle, the schooner crashed into the
port side of the Larchmont and the i'm
pact OF the big vessel was SO terrific that
the big clumsy bow OF the sailing craft
9loughed it's way more than half the

But the pounding sea soon separated

backed away The water rushed into tn,

velocity that could only mean the doom

Educational Meetings.

The Charleston News and Courier
thinks the time is ripe for one or
more Of the leaders of Southern educa-
ton to arrange for a Conference for
education in the North" The North
needs it." says our contemporary.
The North especially needs the help
OF the Americans of the South to teach
it Anler!canism.' 1t is suffering for
the want of instructors in the art of
assimilating its Heterogeneous and dis
cordant elements"
The Times-Dispatch has more than
once remarked that the conference for
Southern Education should be called
the Conference for Northern Educa-
tion," seeing that the conferences have
done so much to educate the Northern
pilgrims
Most OF them were woefulIy ignorant
Of conditions in the South, especially as
related to the negro. when they began
to attend the conferences. But coming
year after year, and talking face to face
with representative white mon and wo-
men, and seeing the negro race as II
Is, they have learned enough to iii
volumes, and they now understand as
theySnevcr would have understood hat
no such conferences been held. Tha
sort OF education Is one of the great
est accomplishments OF the conferences

The statement OF the physicians that

who disappeared from his home in
Delaware on March 4th under my steri-
Gus circumstances, wandered into the

that should be more comforting to his
distressed family than tho thought that
he had been stolen and murdered. Nat
urally, the first belief was that he had
been kidnapped, Large rewards were

Academy of Music--Miss Percy Has

Bijou-"Around the Clock"
MISUNDERSTANDING Rink.
Miss Haswell Here.

The summer season was inaugurated
last night ut the Academy OF Music
by Miss Percy Hnswell and the George
Fawcett Stock Company: in splendid II,
play with which Mrs. Fiske achieved a
marked SUCCESS season before last. The
play is u powerful one. and gives Miss
Haswell opportunity for some OF the
mond. Her characterization OF Leah
Kleschna. the girl thief Is splendid.
and dominates the five interesting acts
OF Mr.. McLellan's production.
n Mta aonan, y ySe is n Eco wal
known hero, and it Is sufficient, to say
sho has never appeared to better ad-
vantage and that she has never been
surrounded by a more capable company
SON Mr., Walter Green, the leading
man, Is n polished young actor, who
has already an enviable reputation. and
he does ample Justice TO the role OF
Paul Sylvaine. He will be heard from
later on. when better opportunity swill
be given him to show his ability. Mr..
Robert Peyton Carter shares honors
with Miss Haswell for his excellent
and painstaking portrayal OF Kleschna,
dition to the company. Mr. Regain
Hughston. an old fevoritc. did fine
bit OF character work as Schram, and
Misses Angela McCnull and Charles a.
SITiLS are yuNSlii'S
The staging Of the production is adj
mirablc II the waits between the acts
had been half as long tho audience
would have been far Less restless. The
smoothness OF the performance was
not married by more than one or two
miscues. and 1t was equal to many
high priced plays seen here this win
ter and superior to some. The theatre
goers have the unusual chance this
week to see, at popular prices, a play
that set all New York talking, and
| doubtless large numbers will take nd.
vantage of 1t. There will be perform
anccs every night and matinecs Wcd-
| ncsday and Saturday
At the Bijou.
Around the Clock" musical comedy

about as good MS the average musica
play seen at that playhouse. The pre-
senting company was seen here last sea
son in "a Night in London Musi
Hail." and comprises some very cleve1
singers and comedians as well as som
good dancers. The piece is rapid fir
molange OF mirth, merriment and music
and number of vaudeville specialize

any rate, go lnmentahly rht!,nformed
ms to make such an array Of answers
possible. The slips of childhood, ROW.
ever are pardonable. IT gross errors OF
fact ana terrible abuses OF tho, English
language were confined to that age.
the cause Of education might congratu-
late itself. But here Is a. Northern
newspaper which has been ut pains to
examine some Of tho papers OF young
men who aspire to college entrance, mt;
tho result is anything but encouraging.
The books upon which this particular
set of questions was based were those
uniformly prescribed by the college
board for entrance examination III
English, books in which any Intelligent
youth ought to find 1t possible to feel
an interest. SCOTS poetry, The Nor
chant OF Venice" MiltoiNs "Comus'
Were among them. Hero arc a few re-
examiner:
There Shylock had como to get his
forfeit of a pound of flesh in perfectly
good faith, but got the raw end of the
deal.
If any real good apology could be
made for this first murder, all others
would fall in line
The lady in "Comus' remains pure
just as any virtuous woman would
Comus, however, is not like real per-
son at all. No human heing has the
power of changing mortnls into the
shape OF an animal.
T Imagine how severe blow feels
when your only amiability IS abducted
In a manner as Jessica was taken.
I like Shakespeare very we'll ond
have read most of his Waverley novels,
Asked whether Shakespearc's or Mil
tons characters seemed the more real,
one scholar replied:
think the way that Antonio stood
by his friend and was ready to die If
necessary for him. was4a higher, noblcr
and greater man than Comus
Another more nom comnitlal, wrote:
Some of the characters in Colnus arc
more like real characters than those
in Shakcspeares plays. Others are not
as real.
Whose fault is this? Are these boys
too stupid for the English classics? Or
We're they Improperly and inadcquately
taught? Or is something wrong with
the system that demands the reading
of them at all hazards, and necessi-
tates the examining OF them down re-
luotant throats, Just to pass the cx-
amination?"
1t is Il great shame that the master
pieces Of literature must be associated
with any process which can produce
results at all like these. 1t is an even
greater one that the schools and coll
leses. with an opportunity second only
TO the home. can so fell to develop a
genuine fondness for reading in the
minds of their young charges. 70
teach boy to love books would be a
fine work for either of them, even
though they did nothing else for him.
