Launch Sunk Near Manila Greatly
Overcrowded.

Overcrowded.
Manila, July 1S.-The number or
lives lost through the laundering OF
the pleasure launch San Gabriel while
on its way from Manila 10 Corregidor
is yet uncertain. Sixty-one passengers
and members of the crew were res
cued. 1t Is generally estimated that
the number of passengers and crew
numbered ninety. Thirty-five of those
who were rescued clung to liferaft
and were buffeted about by the heavy
seas for four hours, when the Ger
man steamer Suveric rescued them
Twenty-Five more reached Corregidor
in lifeboa The passengers on the
San Gabriel were thrown into panic
when the heavy seas tore out some OF
the San Gabriels planking and she
began to fill and terrible scenes were
enacted. The vessel was greatly over
crowded and the lifebelts proved to
be rotten and worthless. Few OF the
women and children on board the Ill
fated launch escaped.

Unfair Treatment in Athletic Con-
tests in England Alleged.
THEIR PROTEST DiSALL0WED
British Tug Of War Team Appears on
the Field Wearing Spiked Shoes of
immense Size, Clearly Contrary to
Rules Governing Game.

London, July 1S.-America has pro-
tested the tug of war. Greece and
Germany withdrew from this contest
and the first pull was between the
American team and the second team
of the United Kingdom. The protest
was made on the ground that the
United Kingdom team, contrary to the
regulations, wore prepared shoes.
The American team lost the first pull.
The American team had two more
pulls, the conditions being the best
two out of three, but in view of the
cause for their protest they decided
to retire.
The English team, who are men,
bers of the Liverpool police force,
wore an immense shoe, which could
not under any circumstances be used
for ordinary purposes. In addition to
this every man had the heels of his
shoes encased in steel, which sank

Washington, July 1S.-The repulse
of the revolutionists in bothNthe north
ern and southern parts of Honduras,
official advices of which were received
by Minister Ugarte of that country,
presages the collapse of the revolu-
ton. This is the view of ne minister.

olutionists, is a place of about 5000
people, with q small garrison, and Is
about ten miles from Ceiba, which

victory at Porvenir, next attacked. AT
Ceiba, according to a dispatch re-
ceived by Mr. Ugarte from Foreign
Minister Fiallos, they were defeated

thinks that the revolutionists, realiz'
ing the hopelessness of any movement

position renders it ,iifficult of success.

CASUALTIES REDUCED.
Falling OFF in Railroad Traffic Prob
able Reason.

Washington, July 18.-That the
great reduction In the number of cas-
ualties to passengers and employees
for the three months ending March 81
last, when there were but l5,44l such
casualties, or 72S killed and 14,713 In
jured, was primarily due to the de-
crease In the volume of business on
practically all of the railroads is the
conclusion drawn from a review of
the statistics by the interstate com
merce commission in its accident bull
Ietin. This remarkable record shows
that not in any quarter since that end,
inc with March, 1905, has there been
a smaller number of casualties.

PROHIBITION NOMINEES,
Chain of Illinois and Watkins of Ohio
the Ticket.

Columbus, o., July 18-The Prohi-
bitionist national convention chose
Eugene W. Chain, Chicago, for pres
ldent and Aaron S. Watkins, Ada, O.,
ior vice president.
The full endorsement of the con-
vention was not, however, given to
Mr. Chain until after three ballots
had been taken. On the first two
ballots Mr.. Chaf1n did not show
great amount of strength, receiving
but 1876 out of 1888 votes on the first
and 376 out of 1,0S7 on the second
ballot. His nomination was prac-
tically assured, however, when the
roll call began for the third ballot.
On the third ballot he received a total
Of 636 votes.
The strongest competitor of Mr..
Chain was Rev. William B. Palmore
st. Louis, who received 274 votes on
the first ballot and 41S on the second
ballot
The convention decided to make Mr..
Palmore the vice presidential nominee
and he was named by acclamation.
He declined to accept the Office, how
ever, and persisted in his attitude de-
spite the strong urging Of his friends,
Finally it was decided that Professor
Aaron s. Watkins, Ada, O., should be
named by acclamation. A ballot re
suited in the nomination of Professor
Watkins by an overwhelming major
ity.
Both the presidential and vice pres
idential nominees are candidates fol
governor in their respective states on

Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

Odd Use For Bread.

Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread is put may be seen in one of our
great watch factories, where more than
forty loaves of fresh bread are required
each day. An official of the watch fac
tory is quoted as saying
There is no secret regarding the use
Of bread In this factory, and am will
ing to tell all can concerning it. From
the earliest times in the history of
matchmaking it has been the custom of
watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to
the form of dough. This is done by
steaming and kneading. They then use
this dough for removing oil and chips
that naturally adhere in course Of
manufacture to pieces as small as a
part Of a watch. There are many
parts of watch. by the way, that are
SO small as to be barely visible to the
naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this
dough and the chips stick to it, and
there is no other known substance
which car, be used as wiper without
leaving some of its particles attached
to the thing wiped. This accounts for
the continued use of bread dough in
the matchmaking industry. American

feet high at his door, and to this is
nailed a great hook about foot long
and thick in proportion On one side
of this is Il brisk fire. with a huge
earthen pan on it. Before the pan a
man may be seen. sitting, for nobody
stands when he can sit, with a kind Of

stirs quantity of bubbling black
looking sugar till it becomes quite
tough. He then scrapes it together
and puts it on a piece of board to cool
little. and then. getting up and dex-
terously throwing it on the large hook
he begins to pull out the tough sub
stance. He draws it out to the length
of four or five feet at time and throws
1t back and elongates 1t again, and so
he manipulates 1t till the mass becomes
as white as snow. This composition so
treated is manufactured in all sorts of

Little Great Men.

A Chinese who had long studied the
works of Confucius, who knew the
characters of $4,000 words and could
read a great part of every book that
came in his way once took it into his
head to travel into Europe. Upon his
arrival at Amsterdam his passion for
letters naturally led him to a book
sellers shop, and as he could speak a
little Dutch he civilly asked the book
seller for the works of the immortal
Xixofou The bookseller assured him
he had never heard the book mention
ed before. Alas" cried our traveller
ito what purpose, then, has he tasted
to death to gain renown which has

Philosophy Of Descartes.

Turning the mental vision inward, as
Bacon turned it outward, Descartes
watched the operations of the soul as
an object in microscope. Resolved
to believe nothing but upon evidence
so convincing that he could not by
any effort refuse his ascent, he found
as he inspected his beliefs that he
could plausibly doubt everything but
his own existence. Here at last was
the everlasting rock, and this was re-
vealed in his own consciousness; hence
his famous "Cogito ergo sum" q think,
therefore l any. Consciousness, said
he, Is the basis Of gertrude. Interro-
gate it and it's clear replies will be
science, for all clear ideas are true
Down in the depths Of the mind is the
idea Of the infinite perfection-the
mark Of the workman impressed upon
his work. Therefore God exists.-New

A Quaint Compliment.

On Mark Twain's seventy second
birthday a Hartford clergyman said of
him:
mo wonder he finds happiness in old
age. All the aged would be happy if
they were as sympathetic and as kind
as he. He is continually going out Of
his way to please others, and the result
is that he is continually pleasing him
self. Listen. for instance, to the quaint
compliment he paid me the last time
he came to hear me preach. He waited
for me at the church door at the serv.
ices end and, shaking me by the hand,
said gravely:
81 mean no offense, but feel oblig-
ed to tell you that the preaching this
morning has been of kind that 1 can
spare. I go to church, sir, to pursue
my own train Of thought. but today
couldn't do it. You interfered with
me. You forced me to attend to you
and lost me full half hour beg
that this may not occur again."
