SHIPS COLLIDE IN A FOG
FRUIT CARRIER TEARS GREAT
HOLE IN PASSENGER STEAMER.
Five Hundred Lives Saved BY Cap
tain, Who Holds His Vessel
Against Crippled Craft.

New York, Nov. 23.-The lives o.
more than 500 passengers were i'm
periled Sunday when the fruit steamer
Admiral Dewey, inward bound from
Jamaica, crashed into the steamer
Mt. Desert, outward bound from Bay
Ridge to the fishing banks.
The Admiral Dewey, coming sud
denly out of fog bank, struck the Mt
Desert almost amidships, opening a
cash in the fishing vessel that extend
ed from the upper deck to the waters
edge.
There were 450 passengers, includ
ing 20 women and six children, on the
Mt. Desert, and the Admiral Dewey
carried as passengers.
Panic Immediately followed the col
lision, and it was due to the prompt
action of Capt. Davidson, of the
| Dewey, that a catastrophe was avoid
ed, for the passengers on the fishing
steamer began to pile over the guard
rails of that vessel and leap for the
deck of the Admiral Dewey. Had he
backed his steamer away many would
have been drowned.
Capt. Davidson kept the steamer
moving slowly ahead, and this held
the PROV of the fruit steamer into the
rent that had been made and afforded
a boarding place for the frightened
passengers Of the Mt. Desert. Thus
the two steamers moved slowly to the
east bank of the lower bay, while a
wild scene was taking place on the
deck.
1t was believed the Mt. Desert
would sink, and the passengers fought
frantically to get to the deck of The
Admiral Dewey. Men and women
crowded over the guard rails so rap
idly that they trampled upon each
other.
In the space of Is minutes fully $50
Of the passengers of the Mt. Desert
sprang to the deck of the other steam
er. By this time the Admiral Dewey
had pushed the Mt. Desert so close to
the east bank that the keel of the for
mer was striking bottom.
AS nearly all the passengers had
been transferred and the panic was
subsiding Capt. Davidson signaled 10
have the engines stopped, and a few
minutes later the boats drifted
apart.
Later the Mt Desert steamed to
South Brooklyn. where she docked to
permit her few remaining passengers
to go ashore. Meantime the Admiral
Dewey had been taken up the river to
her pier, where her own and the pas
sengers from the Mt. Desert were
landed.

Making Public Libraries.

The most important question for
the public library is What books shall
we buy?" In many towns the reading
committee is a recognized adjunct Of
the library, and the librarian has the
verdict of several different minds for
aid in his task of selecting new books.
Most of the voluntary readers are like
ly to be women, and the service they
render the community is a real one,
II their judgment and taste are sound.
On the other hand, complaisant
commendation of book as very in
teresting" may do actual harm when
the book lies in the debatable land be-
tween bad and good-the land of cur
rent fiction and trashy juveniles. A
great meeting Of English librarians
recently set forth some general prin-
ciples which should help determine
the desirability of books, says the
Youths Companion. First, they de-
clared the notion exploded that a
taste for good reading develops from
reading poor books. The very con-
trary is true. The habit of reveling
In cheap fiction is destructive of a
wholesome pleasure in sound read
ing. The love of books, like the love
OF virtue, feeds in high, clean, sweet
pastures, not in refuse, and not even
on husks. Again, the demand for GER
tain books does not require the public
library to supply them. 1t is a specious
argument that the taxpayers money
should answer the taxpayers desire.
More than 60 per cent. Of the books
drawn from public libraries are works
of fiction. The thin, tasteless stream
of modern fiction is too often the IL
brarys chief offering to the communi-
ty. Certain libraries adopt the rigorous
measure Of buying no fiction until it is
a year old. The librarians agreed that
the rule is an excellent one, if 1t is
slightly elastic in its actual applica-
tion. At all events, the helpful adj
visory reader for the public library is
the man or woman who believes that
in proportion as a good book is a
blessing, a poor book is a curse
