=. Los Angeles, Cal, Nov 20.-A tele-
phone message has just been receiv-
ed from First Officer F.. Mills of the
steamer St. Croix, saying that all on
board are safe on shore at Point
Duma.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2O.-The
City of Topeka arrived at Redondo at
8 o'clock and reported passing the
burning hulk Of the steamer St. Croix
three miles off Point Duma at about
o'clock this evening.
Not a person was in sight of the
wreck. The steamer was mass OF
flames and the City of Topeka was
unable to get close to her. No boats
or life RATS were in sight and the
100 passengers and crew of thirty-five
may have escaped to the shore.
+, The sea was calm, but a heavy fog
had settled over the water. The City
Of; Topeka, after ascertaining that no
life was aboard the doomed vessel,
proeeeded to Redondo and reported.
The st. Croix left San Pedro at
o'clock this morning for San Fran
ciscc.2
The st. Croix was brought south
about six week ago as one Of the
vessels Of an independent line be-
tween San Francisco points, to COM
pete with the Pacific Coast company.
The advent of the st. Croix on the
the run resulted in a rate war in
which the rate between San Francisco
and Los Angeles was cut as low as
81. AS result of the low rate all
steamers have been crowded with
passengers.

This was not SO, however, as the VIM

that they were unframed, that they
finished fresh enough to leap and run
about, that the cyclists merely patrolled
the road and did not pace the runners,
that the ICE took place in the hottest

A most enthusiastic and well attend
ed meeting of the Wednesday Club
was held this week at the h~ospitable
country home of Mrs. A. A. Morgan,
who has the happy faculty of always
making each guest feel welcome and
so glad to be in attendance. AS there
was little business to attend to, the
greater part of the afternoon was
spent in making fancy work.
The Secretary read aloud an invita-

the Federation of Clubs which will be
held March %. and &c, at Music Hall.

Steel thus protected Is everlasting. It
cannot rust and collapse with time, a.
such vaults must which are made en-.
tirely of steel. The vault Is made alb
%solutely waterproof by the addition Of
a waterproof compound which is In
lual!y mixed with the cement. The
vaults remain in the molds for three
to five days until thoroughly set, after
which they are allowed to season
about thirty days. A trip to the Gene
terry shows the vault lowered In the
grave, followed by the lowering Of the
casket and the putting on Of the vault
lid, which snugly fits upon the vault.
A mixture Of pure cement and water.
proofing is then poured into the space
between the vault and the lid. making
the vault and lid practically one solid
piece.
At Lawrence, Kan, there is another
company engaged in the same line Of
work. This oncer has been con-
Quoting some interesting tests Of their
cement vaults. In one instance the
vault was immersed in a tank Of water
to demonstrate that it could withstand
any amount of pressure. The vault,
which is made entirely Of cement, il
constructed In two parts. Instead Of
fitting the W on the top Of the
vault and then sealing it, the vault nts
down over a cement slab. When the
vault Is lowered over the casket, it is,
OF course, filled with air. The vault It.
self Is nodded or made in one alright
piece. open only at the bottom which
hts down over a cement slab. A per
fectly tight space from which the air
cannot descend or escape is formed.
The water, when rising to q level with
the bottom Of the vault, will be
checked by air. which is now firmly
incased by the vault on sides and top
and the water on the bottom, and wa
ter can never rise in the vault. A
piece of glass is fitted into the top of
the casket, so that spectators can look
into the vault and see that
everything is as dry as it was when It
was put in.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN.
Not Blood Disease-cured by Oil Of
Wintergreen Compound

For many years eczema was suppos-
ed to be a blood disease and was err
roneously treated as such, but now the
best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin The eminent
skin specialist, Dr. ID. ID. Dennis. first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin. Dr. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine. etc. The remedy is
a liquid, not a mere salye, hence il
sinks right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch away
at once; soon the scales drop away
and the disease disappears.-Wm l..
