Railroad Fare.

The Stars plan for inducing out-of-town people
from the neighborng states to do their Christmas shop
ing in Washington is producing big results
There are several elements contributing to the sue
cess of the enterprise
FIRST. The exploitation of the scheme and the ad-
vertisements of the merchants in the special shopping
section of The Sunday Star.
SECOND The work done to promote the idea of
shopping in Washington through The Stars agents and
correspondents in the nearby of Maryland, Vr
ginia and West Virginia.
THIRD. The posting of the railroad stations
through the railroad companies -
FOURTH. The advertising of the refunding of the
railroad fare through many of the country newspapers
and enisng their support of the project in the and
editorial columns and pointing out the advantage of the
plan their readers.

to the waters edge.
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile OF
Grand Harbor when the first sign of fire
appeared. With a strong wind to fan the
flames the whole ship soon was ablaze
Passengers and crew had scarcely
chance for their lives.
There was a terrific scene of panic on
the vessel as the rapidly spreading flames
drove the passengers to the rails. Many
excited ones, not even waiting for the
boats to be lowered. plunged into the sea.
Within few minutes the ship was a
roaring furnace surrounded by clouds Of
black smoke through which flames burst
upward to height of two hundred feet,
from frequent explosions in the hold. SO
rapidly did the fire spread that the frantic
efforts of the crew to operate the fire
apparatus proved useless.
| 1t seemed but moment before the up
per works and masts crashed down upon
| the deck, while the ships boats were
| crushed by the falling debris or set on lire
| and quickly burned.
Safety Only in Sea.
Safety lay only in the sea, for no one
could save himself except by jumping
| overheard and taking chances of being
| picked up. Assistance was hurried to the
| burning vessel from all the warships in
the harbor and from the shore. Work
of rescue was greatly impeded by the
strong tide running. Even the naval
launches, which came as fast as they
could be driven, were unable to go along
| side.
Among the Arabs there was a panic
that could not be controlled Many were
too terrified to jump. They were burned
to death. Others who threw themselves
into the waves were drowned.
The crew behaved with admirable cour-
age. serving out life preservers to the
last and working the pumps.
When the pumps became useless Capt.
Charles Littler, commander of the Sar-
dina. took the helm and directed his ship
toward the shore SO long as it could be
| navigated: He persisted at his post.
First Officer Frank Watson the three
engineers, Seagraves, Hislop and Neeil.
eighteen of the ships company and two
first-class passengers, one of them a boy
named Grant, are missing. Fifty or more
bodies have been recovered and seventy
persons were rescued.
1t is impossible at present to say just
how many were drowned or burned to
death, because the list of Arab pilgrims
is incomplete. The number will doubt
less will far exceed a hundred.
