CRUISER RAMMED
BY WILSON Liner
Sappho Meets Sappho, Result
ing In Bleaching Of Warship

Dover, June GA serious naval
disaster was narrowly averted Sat-
urday night when, in a dense fog, the
Wilson liner Sappho collided with the
British protected cruiser Sappho, of
Dungeness. The blow struck by the
liner was at an angle, or the cruiser
probably would have been cut in two.
The liner was practically unchanged
and proceeded on her voyage.
The Sappho had Just been commits
stoned for maneuvers. She carried
a crew of 270 officers and men. When
ii was discovered that she was making
water rapidly, the bulkheads were
closed, signals were sent up and min
ute guns were fired. Two lifeboats
from Dungeness, aided by the Sap
pho's boats, safely transferred 200 of
the crew to the shore. The others,
with their officers, remained aboard.
Gradually the water flooded the
cruiser, quenching the fires and ex-
tinguishing the electric lights. The
cruiser lay helpless until o'clock
Sunday morning, when tugs arrived
from Dover. By the aid of the pumps
and collision mats, the Sappho was
put into condition to weather the trip
to Dover, to which she was success
fully towed and beached in the naval
harbor. None of the crew was in
jured.

HONE YMOON IN AIR
Enjoyed by Burnham and Wife While
Balloon Breaks a Record

Holbrook, Mass. June 21.-The
balloon Pittsfeld, which assembled
from that city shortly after midnight
Sunday morning, carrying Mr.. and
Mrs. Roger N. Burnham on their
aerial honeymoon voyage, landed in
this town at APO o'clock.
The balloon broke all records of
attempts to reach Boston, and makes
it a claimant for the trophy offered by
a Boston newspaper to the balloon
which made landing nearest to that
city within a year. The previous
record was landing about twentysi
miles in an air line from Boston,
while the Pittsfield comes within four
teen miles of the city. The distance
covered was about 120 miles as the
crow flies.
The balloon was piloted by William

GIFTED LUNATIcS.
One Faculty Strongly Developed I'm
Many Insane Persons.

One Of the most peculiar features OF
insanity is that occasionally one fac
ulty, either sight, hearing, smell, taste
or touch, is extraordinarily acute. Ger
tain insane persons, insensible to every
other impression, have a pronounced
taste for music and can repeat with
accuracy an air which they may have
heard but once. Others have a recol-
lection of form and color and display
an aptitude for drawing, while more
frequently one may meet with an in
mate of an asylum who has a special
memory for figures, dates, proper
names and words generally.
There is a case on record, for in
stance, of an imbecile who at twenty
seven had such an extraordinary mem
DRY that he could solve the most diff
cult problems in arithmetic and alge-
bra and repeat word for word long
poems after once hearing them. In
another case n boy of fourteen, with a
defective brain, who had the greatest
difficulty in learning to read, could, If
allowed two or three minutes to run
over a page printed in a foreign Ian
guage or treating of questions Of which
he was ignorant, repeat the words from
memory as correctly as if the book had
been lying before him.
Very curious was the case of an
other man, a devOut churchgOer, who
could remember the day when every
person had been buried in the parish
for thirty-fye years and could repeat.
with unvarying accuracy, the name
and age of the deceased and mOurners
at the funeral. And yet he was a COM
plete fool, and outside of the line of
burials he had not one idea and could
not give an intelligent reply to a single
question or even be trusted to feed
himself.
At Earlswood asylum, England, they
have records of imbeciles who could
not only repeat accurately a page or
more of any book which had been read
years before, even though 1t was a
book they did not understand in the
least, but also of an insane person who
could repeat backward what he had
just read.
hhOluGl NuLlOuo NdOC ID lhuI Va dh
imbecile who, in the first place, never
failed to go to church and who on
reaching home could repeat the ser
mon word by word, saying, Here the
minister coughed; here he stopped to
blow his nose," and so on.
In another case an imbecile knew
the Bible so perfectly that If you asked
him where such and such a verse was
to be found he could tell without hes
itation and repeat the chapter.
All these instances are well authentf-
Gated, and others equally amazing and
true could be added. And just as there
is one sense which is sometimes won
derfully acute in persons of weak in
tellect, so in the case of blind people
the sense of smell or hearing is often
very keen.
One of the most remarkable cases ON
record was that Of Julia Brace, a fe-
male deaf and blind mute who could
distinguish brothers and sisters by
smell and who recognized anybody she
had met before by the same means

MINISTER'S IN

Foster and His Writings the
Centre Of Acrimonious Debate
NRANGLE LASTS FOUR HOURS
Winds Up by Dropping University of
Chcago's Professor Who Denies
Divinity of Christ From Baptist
Minister'S Conference of Chicago
Veracity of His Chief Assailant Is
Questioned-Denial by Myers

Chicago, June %. Professor
George T.. Foster of the University
of Chicago, whose denial of the di-
vinity of Christ in a recent book has
stirred Chicago Baptists to a high
pitch of resentment, was dropped
from the Baptist Ministers Conference
Of Chicago Monday. Kisses, yells and
general confusion made the meeting
one of the stormiest ever held by
churchmen in Chicago.
Preachers who had been howled or
Kissed down sat with flushed faces
while the chairman pounded for order.
The insistence of Rev. DR.. A. c..
Dixon of the Moody church that Foster
be dropped brought the fight around
to himself, the real object of the
meeting being disregarded for a time.
Rev. DR.. D. d. McLaurin started
trouble by asking for committee to
investigate Dixon's right to member
ship in the conference. This motion
was Kissed down and Dixon explained
that he joined the Baptist church in
New York.
Rev. DR.. NJ. P. Boynton came in
for a Kissing when he said: I'VE are
not going at this matter right. Fos-
ter is as good as Myers or any one
here and" His voice was drowned
out. The Myers he referred to is
Rev. Johnston Myers, one Of the chief
assailants of Foster.
Then some of the ministers tried
to check the kissing. Myers shouted
above the din: 1T is not worse to hiss
than to have those present denounced
as DR.. Boynton is doing. The Kisses
should not be stopped unless DR..
Boynton is stopped"
DR.. Myers attempted to introduce
a resolution to drop Foster, whereat
his veracity was assailed by Rev. DR..
A. H. Harnley. This matter was
decided for good and all last week."
he shouted. DIR. Myers promised on
his honor that IL he didn't get his
resolution through again he would not
again bring it up. Now, he is doing
exactly contrary to his promise"
Il deny the statement" responded
Myers, coolly. Il promised not to
re-introduce that particular motion
because my motives had been ques-
toned. Spcific charges were wanted
and that is what have here today"
DR.. Myers declared that months ago
Foster was asked to explain to the
why he should be coisid-
cred a Baptist and the educator re-
fused point blank.
During the excitement, motions,
counter motions and a parliamentary
mix-up generally prevailed.
After four hours, however, worn out
by their exertions and emotions, the
preachers adopted the resolution
dropping Foster from the conference.
The conference has not the power
to expel him from the church and,
while such an event seemed to be de-
desired by those present, no definite
plan of action was mapped out.

WOMEN'S MISSION IN LIFE.
1t Does Not Lead Them to the Ballot
Box, Says Cardinal Gibbons

Emmettsburg, Nd, June 1S.-In
an address to the girl graduates of St.
Joseph's college and academy, cardi-
nal Gibbons, who ; ksented the di-
plomas, said in part:
Il am entirely opposed to woman
suffrage, not because hate the wom-
en-, but | love them and want them
to fulfill the mission for which God in
tended them. If you play in the
arena of politics you will be covered
with its dust. If you grasp too much
you will lose everything. Nowhere is
woman so honored as in the United
States. This is largely due to the
chivalry and courtesy of the men,
and if you are protected by the male
sex, what more do you want?
81 want to remind you that woman
has a great mission in life. You
should therefore have a deep sense of
your responsibility in the domestic
walks of life. Preach to your faith
ers and brothers. Woe be to society
if it had to depend upon the male sex
alone-it would certainly go to the
devil"

OFFICER DIES
CRAWLING HOME
Fatally Shot In Early Morning
Battle With Yeggnen
Dine OF THE LATTER KILLED
Blood on Club of Deputy Sheriff
Shows That Another Member of the
Band Must Have Been Wounded
Prints of Handouts on Wrists of
Dead Robber Indicate That He Had
Been Overpowered

Oxford, Mass, June 21.-Deter-
mined to shoot on sight, armed posses
are securing the tangled woods on the
outskirts of this town for the remand
er of the yegg band, whose disastrous
raid through Webster and Oxford
Sunday morning ended when Deputy
Sheriff Albert e. Miller was fatally
shot near the heart after he had killed
Frank Harding, one of the yeggs, and
wounded another in defense of his
town.
The early morning BATTLE in the
lonely highway junction has stirred
the town to a frenzy of excitement
and the posses are determined to
avenge the murder of their fellow
townsman at all costs.
The body of the dead deputy, lying
on his piazza, where he had crawled
with bullet near his heart, blood
stained club still in his right hand,
together with the body of the yegg-
man lying prone in the wayside sta
ton, are the only evidences of the
u6TC6ueSS Oh LQe BUICK.
The marks of the jimmy on a slot
gum machine and an automatic
weighing scale at the Oxford juno
ton show what aroused the deputy
from his sleep in the little variety
store conducted jointly with his
brother William.
Partly dressing he grabbed his re-
volver and rushed out of doors with
the evident purpose of investigating
the noises he had heard at the juno
ton station Of the Worcester, Web
ster and Southbridge street railway.
He had reached the middle of the
road, where it is evident he was at
tackled by the armed band.
Three shots were heard at the home
of Miller by his mother, but from the
marks found on the dead bodies four
shots at least must have been fired in
the fray. The theory advanced by
the police and which is borne out by
the evidence of the wounds on the
dead yeggman and Miller's club is that
Miller overpowered the first member
of the band who assailed him, club
bed another, and in the scuffle that
followed shot Frank Harding twice,
in the right arm and through the
heart.
On Harding's wrists are marks
which show that Miller's handouts
had been clasped about them, but
they had failed to lock. Harding
crawled from the middle of the road
into the junction station, where he
died on one of the benches. Miller
got as far as his piazza, called his
brother William, and then died be-
fore the members of his startled fam
lily could give him any assistance.
