IN SHIP.

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-The steam
er Finance. of the Panama Railroad
line. from Colon, was run into and
sunk by the White Star line freight
er Georgia off Sandy Hook in a thick
fog. The Finance sank almost imme
diately and about half mile on shore
Nothing could be seen OF her but the
smokestacks.
The Finance had SO passengers and
crew OF 60.
AT 1890 o'clock the observer al
Sandy Hook says that small fishing
boat arrived there and reported tina,
four first cabin passengers and four
members OF the crew Of the Finance
lost their lives In the collision.
The George struck the Finance on
the starboard side, below the water
line, somewhat forward of amidships
The larger vessel tore great hole In
the side Of the Finance and she be-
gan to settle almost before her boats
could be lowered.
Soon after the collision, the fog on
Sandy Hook began to lift, and those
on shoe at the United States ufesav.
ing station could see the two vessels
distinctly. The Georgia lowered her
boats and those on shore could see
passengers and members Of the crew
from the Finance struggling about In
the water.
The Finance had been anchored In
the lower bay since Tuesday, her com
mander. Captain Mowbray not caring

he knew must be outside.
This morning the fog lifted percept
IDLY and Captain Mowbray lifted anch.
or and started out past Sandy Hook
He proceeded slowly. the fog still be-
ing dense enough to prevent the watch
seeing very far ahead.
The Georgia had been anchored out
side OF the Hook for SO hours. She
is one Of the White Star freighters and
so far as Is known carried no pas
sengers. She also weighed anchor
when the fog lifted and started In. II
was after she had reached point of
the Sandy Hook station, half a mile
out that she struck the Finance.
The observer at the Sandy Hook
station saw the vessels approaching
each other In a momentary lifting OF
the fog, but thought that they would
safely pass. Apparently, however, the
fog had kept them from seeing each
other until II was too late.
The next the Sandy Hook observer
saw was the finance sinking and the
Georgia backing off. The Finance
sank steadily. but after her main deck
had become submerged her water.
tight compartments apparently began
to have their effect and she seemed
not to sink any further for time.
The Georges boats were lowered
by this time and they could be seen
scurrying hither and thither In the
attempt to save those who were In
the water. The Georgia itself was
badly damaged In the bow, but above
the water line.
The Finance Is an iron steamer
built at Chester, Pa, by J. Roach Il
Son, In 1888. She Is of 2.603 tons, Ia
800 feet long, 3S feet beam and draws

Warning Against Diphtheria.

Diptheria when it is neglected or
not properly treated is one of the
most dangerous diseases. 1t pro-
crosses rapidly and is often fatal
within few days from the time that
1t first makes it's appearance. Just
now it is on the increase in Chicago
and 1t will be menace to the chill
dren at the opening of school. The
health department has made it the
subject of special warning, which
should be carefully considered by
parents in all parts of the city.
Though the disease has had a high
mortality rate, 1t is easily controlled
If the patient receives intelligent
care during its earlier stages. 1t is
of utmost Importance therefore, that
Its presence be made known, and this
is what the health bulletin says:
The infection is being spread thro'
lack Of quarantine in mild and un-
recognized cases. Children suffer.

Labor Day.

In nearly all the states the first
Monday in September is dedicated
as holiday in commemoraton of
the stupendous achievements of Ia
Dor. 1t is the festal day of humanity
and was inaugurated to pay our de-
vction TO that source from which the
Injuries and necessities of society
come.
Labor has cleared the wilderness
Of forests and transformed barren
wastes into fertile fields that groan
unGer the burden of agricultural
crops. 1t has spanned the continent
with railroads and has constructed
opulent cities. Labor today is en-
gagged in the stupendous feat of unit
ing the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans and shortening the route of
commerce 5000 miles. Labor is a
necessity and has achieved all me
mighty triumphs of nations. From
the construction of the Egyptian pyr-
amids, the Chinese wall and the Pan
anna canal TO the building of the
greyhounds of the sea, labor shines
in brilliant colors.
While labor day is consecrated 20
the honor of men and women who
win their daily bread by toll, it's
lesson applies to all humanity. There
is no place in the great hive Of in
dustry for the idler, as all classes of
society find enjoyment in occupa-
ton and employment. Our debt to
labor can never be liquidated. The
day emphasizes that the great power
in society is the working man. Gov
ernments are coming free and equal
as regards the opportunities of life,
and that advancement in social and
financial conditions is the reward OF
persistent individual effort Labor
has made the world what it is. Labor
is the creator of wealth, and every
luxury and necessity of life repre-
sents intelligent, laudable effort

there is no excuse for mistaken di
