Leaves When Injury Occurs
Some Compelled to Jump for Lives.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 7.--Freed
from Spindle rock, at the western en-
trance to BuzZards bay, where she
had been impaled for ten weeks, the
United States cruiser Yankee sank
six fathoms deep Saturday near what
is known as the Sand Spit while being
towed to this city for repairs. She
lies short distance to the north OF
PeEikese island and not far from the
ledge on which she had rested since
September 90 last. The sinking OF
the cruiser occurred exactly II hours
after she was fleated from the ledge.
In spite of the discouraging situation
1t was believed that the vessel could
be raised, and work to that end was
begun Sunday.
Heavy Sea Causes Accident.
The cause of Saturdays accident,
the elimination of series of misfor-
tunes which have befallen the Yam
kee, was an unusually heavy sea
kicked up by high northwest gale.
The Yankee, in tow of the tugs John
Harlan and Powhatan and conveyed
by the naval collier Lebanon. was
proceeding slowly from Spindle
rock to this port. In the gale and
heavy seas the hawsers had parted
for the tenth time, and the tug John
Harlan was trying to connect an
other towing line when she was lifted
on a wave and slammed against the
SIDE of the cruiser. The impact
smashed in port in the compart-
ment where three air compressors
were at work Water. which poured
in through the open port, disabled the
air pumps, after which the compart-
ment rapidly filled.
Crew Is Rescued.
The cruiser did not sink at once.
Capt James T. McAllister, who was
In charge of the marine engine of the
wreclling work, in view of the danger
warned the members of the wrecking
crew to leave the ship. All but six
of the go men left. The Yankee was
then Strengthened as we'll as the
wreckers could do 1t, and an attempt
was made to drag her to Penikese
island and beach her there. This plan
seemed likely to succeed when. not
far from the island, the cruiser filled
suddenly and sank In AZ feet of water.
Commander Charles c. Marsh of the
Yankee, Capt. McAllister, Engineer
Wetherspoon and the six members Of
the wrecking crew, who We're on
board, ran up the rigging and later
jumped safely on board the PoWhalan

In his address Mr. Morton said:
MIR. Cleveland came into the life

chief executive of this great nation
AT that time he was easily the first
citizen OF the country His advent
rirst as trustee OF the Equitable and
afterward as chairman and general
counsel of this association met with
the emphatic appreciation of the
American public because everyone

was in danger among the rocks, and
at once all on board were pacif1ed and
confidence was fully restored.
Added Character to Body.
las chairman of this association he
added character, dignity and probity
to our cause, and he accepted the pc
sition more on account of its being 6
great public duty than for any Other
reason. He became intensely inter
ested in the study of life insurance
and its benefits, and was greatly i'm
pressed with the fact that it is one Of
the best institutions of civilization.

ALMOST HUMAN DEVICE
FOR HANDLING MONEY

BY a machine invented by a Mis-.
sourian. a model of which is now on
exhibition in Denver, hundreds OF
stamp clerks will be put ont Of bust
ness, II the hopes of the inventor are
realized. The machine, known as
the Brinkertoff stamp vender, is al.
most human in its operation, and 1t
Is more than human in it's ability to
detect counterfeit coins, for not A
coin that is defective can pass through
it with profit to the person dropping
the coin.
The machine is an autom attic
stamp-vending and change making
contrivance. 1t will receive any coin
from cent to 81 and dispense the
number OF postage stamps desired,
with the correct change for the coin
dropped. less | cent for the accommo-
dation. No matter what coin is
dropped into the machine, it retains
toll of l cent only. 1t will sell
from one stamp to 81 worth. A per-
son may buy all stamps for his coin
or part stamps and receive the change
due. or IL he does not wish stamps,
he may get his money changed at n
cost of / cent.
Every counterfeit coin is instantly
rejected by the machine. A Cana.
dian quarter will not pass. because it
is one sixty fourth of an inch thinner
than a United States coin of the
same denomination.
The company handling the machine
expects to have it on the market in a
few months and hopes to install large
numbers of the machines in drug
stores, department stores, hotels, Office
buildings and other places where
stamp selling is an Inconvenience,
without revenue. The machine will
pay for the care and Inconvenience
its presence causes and at the same
time provide accommodation that the
public has been taught to expect.
