THREE PERSONS ARE ON BOARD,
Three Women and Child Fear to
Take Chance of Rescue-=Thrilling
Stories of the Survivors.

Hook of Holland. Feb. 22.-Largely
as result of the courage and deter.
mination Of Prince Henry of the Meth.
erlands. the Prince Consort. that which
last night appeared to be an impossible
task has been achieved and the heroic
and unhinching Dutch lifeboat me,1
have succeeded in rescuing alive II sur
vivors Of the Inflated steamer Berlin
The gallant lifeboat men We're re-
Wardcd after mere than 80 hours OF
hard and dangerous work. Buffetted
and driven back time after time, the
sturdy Dutchnen refused to relax their
attempts to rescue the handful of ship
wrecked people and finally at $50 this
afternoon the receding tide and some
Improvement in the weather having
made the conditions easier their long
fight was crowned with success.
Although several of the persons res
cued were in the last stages of exhaus-
ton, they now are on the road to re-
covery and some of them have been
able to tell the story Of their awful ex-
periences. Two women and g child are
still on board the wreck, but it is
feared that they are dying. Nothing
daunted. however. the brave Dutch
men are preparing to make further des-
perate efforts to rescue these unfortu-
mates.
1t was learned later that the res
cucd man. whose name was unknown. is
NJ Jaboulet a Ffcnch!aan. Speaking
Of his experience, he said:
Il was awakened by the terrible

utcs later the water began streaming

ran on deck. Nobody followed me
from the other cabins. They all must
have been drowned like rats i'll Il trap.

away. From that time on | must have
been dazed. l carnot describe to you
the horror of the hours spent there. We
gave the women all the clothing We
could. and spent our time lodging the
waves that continually swept the ship.
The women sang hymns and bore up
bravely. When we first saw the life
boat we almost cried for JOY. but our
heart sank when the boat turned back.
At night we huddled together for
warmth and after several weary hours,

Hook of Holland, Holland. Feb. %
When daylight broke this morning
handful of survivors of the Great Eas
tern Railway Co.'S. steamer Berlin. from
IlarWich. England, to Rotterdam,
which was wrecked off the Hook Of
Holland yesterday morning could still
be seen clinSing to the after part Of the
steamer.
The efforts made to rescue the sur
vivors yesterday We're continued
throughout the night and today, but
up to 10 o'clock this morning has
proved futile. owing to the furious
seas and heavy snowstorm which ragged
ali night long, rendering it impossible
for the tugs or lifeboats to approach
the wreck, over which mountainous
seas continue TO dash with terrific fury.

still alive on the remnant of the steam
er last night must have been frozen to
death. but some II or IL persons APP

A DEFIN ALTON WHICH DEFINES

~
Bible temperance means to use all
good things with moderation and to
"abstain from all forms of evil"
The only question to be settled is
whether alcohol used as a beverage is
an evil.
Any doubt about that?
WHAT A CATHOLIC EDITOR SAYS:
"From the army of moderate drink
ers of 1907 will be recruited the drunk
ards of 1908. 1t is the duty of every
total abstainer to discourage drink
ing everywhere" (which is a lesson
some protestant preachers have vet to
learn. Thank Go. they are few and
far be tween.)

TINE TO VOTE,

The temperance people have made
moral appeals, preachers have preach
ed sermons and lecturers have spoken
fervently for no-license, but who has
heard On argument made for the sa-
loon? When did they have a public
meeting at which they boldly advo-
Gated the wisdom of license? What
editor has dared to openly espouse
the cause of the saloon? The men in
that business know that they have no
case with which to go before the
people. TheX dare not even call an
Indignation meeting to resent being
called "hell-holes' and other IN
savory epithets that are commonly APP
piled by press and pulpit. Why?
Because they know that the terms
used are true ana fitting,
Let your vote be a protest against
this child Of hell. Down with the sa-
loon.

WHAT MCKINLEY SAID

''The liquor traffic is the most de-
grading and ruinous of all human
pursuits. BY legalizlng this traffic
WI agree to share with the liquor seller
the responsibilities and evils of his
business. Every man who votes for
license becomes of necessity a partner
to the liquor traffic and all its conse-
~quences.'
That is so we'll said that we are
moved again to use the expression,
"Es ist gewisslich wahr," which being
interpreted means cit is certainly
rue" What shall we say of the
a ignorance which styles it Seer
man blasphemy?" The real blasphemy
is to say that Christ used intoxicants.
"Donnerwetter'' is literally 'thund-
er-weather,''-if that is a German
curse word' then Donnerwetter noch
iemmal!"

A Fight In the Band Hall.

"An unfortunate happenstance occurred In the band hall last evening when the band was taking some much needed prac- tice more or less. says the Paw Paw Bazoo. Art Baker, who grunts on the big, loud noisy horn, said Pete King wasn't tweedling right in When the Swallows Fly Home to Roost,' fine and dandy waltz song that the band hopes to learn to play before winter Now Pete plays the number one clarinet that you hear squeaking out like a rat under d box in the band concerts that are held on Friday nights, and what if he did make a few more mistakes playing that Swallow tune2 Should Art get sore? Well, anyway Pete said he hadn't made any wrong tweedles and Art said he had. It made Pete pretty sore and he throwei lot of banana pees Into Arts big noiss factory and Art didn't like that much. He took off the big tooter and started for Pete, who laid his blow stick down and squared off, using some pretty bad sort of talk that 1t Is said. got a lot of tho Instruments out of tune worse than they usually are. We'll anyway the fight began, and Professor Smith. director of the band, got in and got a smash on the nose producing blood, and then he swore too. The fight was stopped finally by Edgar Mason, who jams noise out of tho big drum, pushing the big boom producer in between the two fighters, with Profess sor Smith on the outside edge having the nose bleed Now. look a-here, boysi No more fighting. However. If you've got to fight, give us a grand free for all in the bandstand some Friday night in- stead of the concert. The public might like the change. Professoh Smith, by the way, is a Sunday school teacher. He says he don't want to be leader of lot of rough-neck grunt artists, and maybe he will resign and go back to barbering.'

At such complication of the whole affair Mrs. Ortowska said to the policeman; You are a liarl You have promised to bring me the four dollars and the receipt of the sixteen dollars yourself on Satur- day to my house and now you arrest it." "Who Is a liar?" asked the police man. You" replied Mrs. Ortowska, and fled in her room and the police- man after her. He took her on the arm and said: Come on" wanting to arrest her. But Mrs. Ortowska said: "Please go out of my house, you have no busi- ness to do with me-" At this words the policeman took his revolver, pointed 1t towards Mrs. Ortow ska's breast. saying: q got a business to do with you. l will kill you."

Where the Horse Is Considered.

The Canadian country on the north shore of the St. Lawrence is very hilly indeed in some places. The country "gets a move on" occasionally, if the people do not. We can readily believe 1t to be an earthquake region. so iumhled up did the hills appear We were told that the first church of Les Eboulements, our well named village slid into the St. Law renee and that Is why the second was built on the top of a mountain couple of miles back from the shore. Our farm house was one of those on the plateau about half way up between the wharf and the village. We took a blackboard to the latter the day after we arrived at the former, but no more driving for us in that direction. What Is the use when at every hill-and you can go in no direction with out encountering specimens steep as the side of house-the driver gets off the vehicle himself and politely requests his passengers to do the same. If you do not instantly comply. the horse turns round and gives you look so reproach- ful that you skip off the blackboard in 8 trlce, to toll meekly upwards in the heat and the dust.

 I could relate you many other facts, but I think that will do to furnish you an idea of the true conditions of for eign people in this country. Still one fact which happened here this week. Two young Slavish men, working on the coal mines at Mulagri CD about eight mile from Ensley. came Saturday evening to Ensley to buy some shirts. Having done this they peaceably, being entirely sob CT, turned to the depot where they waited for the train to go home. It was after 10 o'clock at night. A policeman approached them and ask ed them what they were doing tn ere. Because they could not sufficiently ex- plain themselves (not knowing any English) he put them in jail and kept them in until the A<following Monday morning, when they should appear be- fore the court to justify themselves of their late presence at Ensley Saturday evening. Tn rough the interfering of gentleman, a citizen of Ensley and my friend, have been called on the court Git was my first time) to act as inter preter of them. Of course they should released them without imposing any fine on them, but who will recompense them the day they lost and the pleasure to stay at the jail for two nights and one day Gnstead to rest home) for noth ing?
 Dear Sir, I will be much obliged to you if you will make use of this com municated facts and let know the American people how certain authori- ties treat foreign people here. Yours very truly, REV. PAUL KLICH
