THIRTEEN OF CREW
 DROWNED IN SHE'LL
(specia1 from United Press )

Shereness Eng, July 15.-H. M. Submarine Boat c Il lies at the bottom of the channel with thirteen of her crew drowned in the shell while the Submarine c IT is rushing to the navy yard at Yarmouth today, following collision of the two submarines with an unknown steamer while the channel fleet was preparing to enter the Thames to join in the naval manoeu- vres this morning. The remaining submarines, the repair ships Bonaven- tura and Endymion, the baftleshlpS Victorious and Caesar, and fleet of tugs and lighters are at work trying drowned crew.
 The c Il commanded by Lieutenant Brodie, and the c IT commanded by Lieutenant Callahan, were run down manoeuvring for position in the fleet formation. The c Il went to the bot tom carrying with her the sixteen men who were working in the lower com partments. The c IT summoned the other ships of the fleet and then found that she was shipping water so rapidly that she was in danger of sinking. She at once started for Yarmouth.
 An official statement given out by the naval authorities says that Lieu tenants Brodie and Watkins and Sea man Stripes were saved when the c II sank and that il seamen and stokers were carried to the bottom with the little submarine.
 The vessel which caused the disaster is now believed to be the Eddystone, a freight steamer. It is thought that the Eddystone was crossing the line of the hotilla as the submarines were aligning to enter the Thames. She first struck the c IT and in trying to avoid that vessel ran head on into the II, striking the submarine amidships and bearing her down beneath the steamers bow. All other members of the submarine f1otilla have been ac- counted for although it was at first feared that third had been damaged
 The sinking of the c Il is the twelfth which has occurred in the British navy in the last eight years.

NOISY WEDDINGS.
eoisterous Prelude to Marriages Tn old
 Rothenburg.

Boisterous Prelude to Marriages In old
 Rothenburs.
 They love music in Rothenburg, and it is an incident of most functions, public and private. In front of the rathhaus, when wedding formalfttes are going on inside. hird. musicians loudly drum and trumpet, RhAfeat the people come running from Hil direc- tions, for wedding is not <frried on with the quietness which woL1d please the shy and retiring. Marriage is a sacrament neither lightly nor secretly entered into.
 On the night before the wedding it is considered de regueur to hurl old pots and pans against the house of the bride with boiAterous good wishes, and without these delicate attentions a bride would really feel slighted. Her two best friends wait upon her during the din and give her a wreath and a veil and some verses composed in her honor, and that the verses are curi- ously like those offered to brides in the past, except for necessary change of name, is not at all drawback. Weddings are usually on Tuesdays, and they take from o'clock in the morning till or o'clock in the after noon, including the time at the town hall At the home there will likely be a play given in which are set forth the supposed foibles of the bride and groom, and some friend, masquerad- ing as a gypsy, will come in and give whatever kind of prophecy best ac- cords with his wits.-Robert Shackle- ton in Harper's Magazine.

MExICANs' STAFF OF LIFE.
The TortiIIa Is Their Bread-FrijoIes
 Are Boiled Beans.

The 1ortilla Is Their Bread-Frijoi
 Are Boiled Beans.
 The tortilla is the ancient Indian bread of Mexico. Its only constituent is Indian corn (nafze), which the wo- men soak in hmewater until the ker- nels are at the point of bursting, then wash thoroughly until it is free from lime, when they grind it by rubbing it on a large block of stone, especially cut for the purpose, with a smaller stone which they hold in their hands.
 The opera ton looks very much like rubbing clothes on a washboard and is a laborious and tedious one. The lime renders the corn dough adhesive, like wheat four dough, and it is easily patted between the hands into cakes the size and shape of an ordinary grid dlecake and is baked upon thin stone griddle. Though no salt or leaven is added, fresh tortilIas are ex- ceedingly palatable.
 The one other food mainstay is fri joles-ordinary beans. They are boiled to a mush and with a liberal quantity of lard are warmed as required in a flat earthen dish that answers for a frying pan. The very poor people do not always have the luxury of frijoles and when they do have them cannot always afford the lard.-New York Sun

FLYNN HAD BEST
 OF BILL PAPKE


Especial from United Press.)
 Los Angeles, Cal, July 15.-Jim Flynn, the Colorado fireman, is to-day considered among the leading pugi- lists. Last night the Colorado fireman met Billy Papke and for ten rounds he fought the Illinois Thunderbolt'' to a standstill. He never gave way an inch and although Papke cut his face to ribbons the big fireman came back and repeatedly forced the Illinois fighter to clinch. The men fought like tigers throughout the mill and Papke looked like a winner in the early rounds but the big fireman came back strong and was always the aggressor. A draw would have been a good de- cision although to many at the ring side Flynn appeared to have the bes: of the bout.

slicide OF one OF the bandits in q cottage
at Williamson. the pursuit was the
most spectacular and exciting ever seen
in this part OF the country.

suit and fired on the bandits. One OF
them fell al the first round. and the pur-
Suers at frs thought he had committed

cottage and tried 10 hide himself In q
chimney. When he found this too small
he stretched himself on q bed and fired
bullet into his brain. He was dead
when the man-hunters reached him.
