MANY MEN ARE LOST
STEAMER GOES DOWN WITH HER
CREW OFF NEW FOUND
LAND COAST.
WRECKAGE FROM SHIP WASHED ASHORE
The 800 City," Former Lake Ex-
cursion Vessel, Meets Disaster While
Enroute to New Owner-lt Is Sup
posed That Eighteen Men Were On
Board of Her.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec 5.--Wreckage
which has come ashore at Cape Ray
leaves little room for doubt that the
sturdy little steamer 500 City, which
for 20 years piled as an excursion ves-
sci on the great lakes, went down with
her crew in gale that dashed the New
Foundland coast two days this week.
The steamer was in command of Capt.
John G. Dillon of Brooklyn, formerly
commander of the United States gov
eminent transport Missouri. A wife
and three children awaited his return
home The exact number of the crew
is in doubt. 1t is known, however,
that no less than IS men were on
board and it has been reported that
the crew was recently increased to %
men.
The 500 City was recently sold by
the Indiana Transportation company
to Felix Jackson of Velasco, Tex, and
was heing taken TO New Orleans,
where it had been planned to put her
in service between that city and Texan
ports She carried no passengers. She
was to be first overhauled in New
York and FOR that purpose had been
consigned 70 Agent 7. H. Franklin of
that city.
The Sou City sailed from Michigan
City on November and reached Og-
dcnsburg, \. Y, November IL. AT
that port sh~ took on coal and added
four men to her crew. Up to that time
the steamer was in charge of Capt
L. V. Dority Of Milwaukee, but at Og
densbIrg the command was turned
over TO Capt. Dillon. She was last re.
ported at Quebec November IA. a
week later, when nothing mad been
heard from her rluch anxiety was felt
and on Wednesday last the vessel was
listed by the maritime exchange
among the missing. The steamers
first mate was John Casey of Chicago.
Friday Il deck cabin and fittings and
16 life preseryers came ashore. These
all bore the name 800 City" or other
marks Identifying them as belonging
tu the lake steamer. Daring the day
life buoys. deck boards and other gear
unqueSticnably belonging to the
steamer were washed in.
The 500 City was of 43S tons net
and was built at West Bay City, Mich,
in 1888. She was valued at $4,000
and hailed from Chicago. From the
first she was used as an excur-
sion steamer on Lakes Huron and
Michigan.

PHOTOGRAPHS WAVES OF HEAT
Frederick RoVenden Claims to Have
Performed Remarkable Feat.

Observation-Disclosures Hovenden, a
prominent English scientist, claims to
have photographed the etheric waves
of heat and electricity, which are in
visible to the naked eye. He says
they are a fluid which, properly illum-
mated, become visible to the naked
eyes and can be cinematographed. He
fills a square glass box with tobacco
smoke, puts his finger through a hole
in the side and turns on the box the
rays from a powerful electric lamp.
Then he says he sees the ether issuing
from his finger and permeating the to-
bacco smoke. The ether escapes
from his finger even when it is Gov
cred with a tight-fittlng rubber cap.
Hovenden also demonstrates that the
air we breathe is coal black in color.
He Eliminates powerfully and micro
scopically enlarges by many diameters

glass box. Then black molecules form

STATE RESTS IN DAVIS CASE.
Mrs. Abbie Rice's Sensational Story
Completed.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 5.-Many sensa-
| tional situations in the trial of Charles
! e. Davis, the capitalist charged with
| the murder of DR.. Frederick Rustin,
| rewarded the immense crowd which
| packed Judge Sears branch of the
criminal court Friday. While interest
centered in the evidence given by Mrs.
Abbie Rice and reading of that given
by Davis at the coroner's inquest, at
tention all-insufiicient was attached to
the testimony offered by numerous
other witnesses, much Of it of cor
roborative nature.
Mrs. Rice took up most Of the fore
noon with her story of how Rustin told
her of the plan to have Davis kill
him under promise that the physician
would furnish Davis with 4 deadly
poison with which to take his own lie.
Despite numerous and vigorous objec-
tons by Attorney Curley the court
permitted Mrs. Rice to recite her en-
tire story, which was done during
a quietude in the court which made
her voice plainly heard all over the
big room.
The state placed a number of wit.
nesses on the stand during the after
noon to corroborate the testimony of
Mrs. Rice and to fix the time of DR..
RlAtin's movements and those of
Davis during the evening preceding
the death of the former. The exhibits
offered in evidence formed another in
teresting portion of the days proceed
i.Ps, following which the state rested
at four o'clock.
The defense quickly began the intro
duction of witnesses TO impeach those
of the state who had testified as TO
the time Rustin and Davis were seen
down town and were employed on that
line when evening adjournment was
taken. Judge Sears announced that
the usual Saturday afternoon recess
would not be taken.

RECIPE FOR REAL TROUBLE.
cheerfuIly Contributed to an Already

Trouble making is an older industry
than the manufacture of steel. Cain,

There are three kinds of trouble
imaginary, borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists of rail-

cides, the poorhouse, death, and the
grave, carefully mixed and taken
after a late dinner, or drop in the
stock market
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get
from our relatives. Its principal ia

birthday presents, advice and expecta-
