and Plies the Chesapeake Bay.

The old steamer General Socum. aboard
which over a thousand people lost their
lives when the steamer was burned in
New York harbor about five or six years
ago, was transformed into. barge after
the accident. and is used as a wood and
lumber carrier from points on Chesa-
peake bay to New York and the north.
The Slocum is now named the Mary
land. A day or two ago it sailed from
West Point Va. for New York with 734
cords of pine wood aboard. The Mary
land is vessel of 73S tons register and
was built at Brooklyn. n. Y, in 1891.
The burning of the General Slocum and
the great loss of life attending the dis
aster caused general revision of the
regulations of the steamboat inspection
service, and made the regulations as to
fire drills and the carrying of fre-fighting
and life-saving appliances aboard steam
ers much more severe than they had been
before
The old vessel is now owned by Phila-
delphia parties. who had her converted
into barge for freighting service.

SCENES FROM CANAL ZONE
RARE LIFE PICTURES SHOWN
BY WOMAN LECTURER.
President Roosevelt Seen Addressing
Crowd in Panama-Venezue
and Trinidad Treated.

Mrs. Harriet c. Adams. who recently re-
turned from trip of many months to
South America and Panama, gave an il
| Illustrated lecture on the Canal Zone be-
| fore the National Geographic Society in
| Masonic Temple last night. When Mrs.
Adams began there was not a single
| available seat in the house, and many
| were standing in the rear of the audi
/ forum.
| The first pictures thrown upon the
screen showed various parts Of Venezuela
| and ended UP with views of life in Pan
anna. In the latter pictures President
Roosevelt was depicted by the kaleido-
scope responding to the welcome address
of President Amador upon the steps of a
public building in Panama. First came
the marching cavalry, and then followed
| the President of the Republic of Panama
| He mounted the steps with President
| Roosevelt, while the assembled hundreds
| waited. The scene was most realistic
and last night was the first time it was
shown.
| The President of Panama began read
| ing his address from manuscript, while
President Roosevelt stood watching him
attentively. When the Panaman president
| closed Mr.. Roosevelt began speaking In
| a slow tone. In the pictures his lips could
| be seen moving He was passive at the
1
| his familiar gestures would begin. In this
| they were not kept waiting any consid-
cradle length of time. for with his GUS
tomary vehemence, the President early
began to LAY the law down" With the
| first gesture a gentle ripple of laughter
was seen to pass through the large audi
| ence.
In the pictures of Venezuela Mrs.
Adams showed many of asphalt lakes.
which cover vast areas. Former President
Castro and the present President Gomez
were shown sitting side by side. From
Venezuela the pictures passed to the
| Island of Trinidad, where many English
are making their homes at the present
| time because of the fact according to
| Mrs. Adams, it is one of the most delight
full places of residence in the tropics.
Scenes of old and new Panama were
then shown. The wonderful work of the
American engineers and sanitary experts
was apparent on all sides.
A panorama of Uncle Sam and a
Frenchman meeting and the former buy
ing up the claim OF the latter to dig the
canal after he had thrown up several
spades of earth. Then Uncle Sam took
off his coat, and the shovel in hand did
! not seem to clear the earth away as fast
as he desired
Then the moving picture machine began
to show pictures of the giant steam show
els tearing away the earth and reducing
great knobs. The carrying of the earth
to the dumps and the moving of tracks
by great specially invented machines for
the purpose were wildly portrayed.

her ears. They cracked half way around and
the hurnor spread up onto her head until, on
several occasions, it nearly half covered.
The humor looked like a scald very red, with a
