Are Women Less Honest Than Menu
"Are women less honest than menW
This palpitating question has become
one Of the great subjects Of discussion
In Paris, thanks to symposium In
La Revue.
There is not one dares openly to
affirm that woman Is dishonest. Ana
tole France, the master OF contem-
porary French literature, questions
whether man Is 50 virtuous that he
should desire to weigh himself in the
balance against woman. And he
speaks or masculine arrogance and
ferocity and brutality. And so wom-
an, according to the judgment of
Paris, is not more dishonest than
man. Whence sprang that legend that
she was?-Paris Letter to Pail Mall

THE OLD SAIL DRILL

Psrils the Modern warship Men Do
Not Have TO Face.
One Of the dangers and one OF the
hardest tasks OF the man-of-war's man
vanished out OF his life when. with the
suppianting Of the frigate by the steam
cruiser, the old time sail drill became
a thing OF the past. Fleets In the old
days were continually exercised In
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars and all similar mansuyers aloft,
says Captain ]. w. Gambler of the
British navy in his Links In MY Lifs I"
As the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as 20 which ship should
carry out the evolution first accidents
were frequent Hardly a drill day
passed without men being seriously In.
jured.
Once during a drill In Kiel haFbor,
where the rivalry in the feet was In
creased by the eagerness Of foreign
ships to compete with the English. an
unfortunate French midshipman went
head first from the mizzen crosstrees
Of the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers Of accidents should
take place I'm sail drill was not aston
ishing when one remembers that spars
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or three
tons were whisked about with be-
wildering speed with nothing but
mems hands and brains TO guide
them: hundreds Of men orammed into
q space OF few hundred square feet.
where nothing but the most marvellous
organization and discipline could avert
death on deck or aloft.
To the landsman, who understood
nothing of the difficulty involved in
rapidly shifting these great masts and
yards or in Keeling and furling thou
sands OF square feet OF stiff canvas
perhaps wet or half frozen-the rapid
ity with which 1t was done was per-
haps the chief wonder.
Ropes, running Ike lightning through
blocks that were instantly too hot from
friction to be touched, had to be
checked to within few inches, reQuir-
ing the utmost GOODNESS and presence
Of mind, while the officer In COM
msnd had to superintend what to the
uninitiated looked like tangled mass
OF cordage, but which was In reality
no more In confusion than the threads
In loom.
In an instant this officer might see
something going wrong. To delay
single second meant terrible catas-
trophe. Every one, allow and aloft,
was relying on his judgment.
Delay Ease away"
The order came In an instant. The
boatswain's mates repeated 1t in
particular call which this life and
death necessity soon taught every one
10 understand, the shriil whistles rising
above the din OF tramping feet and
running ropes or the thunderous crash
Of the great sails In the wind. Death
had been averted--or not. II not you

Of the lesson that must be learned

FIVE LIVES LOST IN WRECKED WHARF

Vaudeville, La, June 6.-Five lives were lost and several persons are missing as the result of capsizng of a wharf here tonight. The steamer Margaret, ply ing as an excursion steamer between New Orleans and Vaudeville, was about to draw alongside when the pier collapsed. More than 50 people were precipitated into the water, which measured a depth of about 12 feet.
 Many heroic rescues were performed The known dead are:
 Miss Lizzie Lortz.
 Miss Mamie Gottein
 Miss Catherine Gottein.
 Miss Laura Ray.
 An infant child named Chapin.
 All of the deceased resided in New Or leans.
 Late tonight no more bodies had been found and it Is believed that the death list will not exceed five, as at first re- ported.
 The Margaret had brought to Mande- vile today more than the usual number of passengers
 For some reason the boat landing had been changed to a wharf which had not been used for some months. Scores of people crowded upon the landing upon the approach of the Margaret, and it was only when the vessel drew few feet alongside that the crash came.
 Men, women and children went into the water and it looked for time as if scores would be drowned The nearness to the shore and the fact that outside help was near, however, was responsible for the great majority of those thrown into the lake being rescued
 Many thrilling escapes were made, due to feats of heroism from those on shore nearby. who were not affected by the sliding in of the wharf.

f1ISHED STEEL ; MOVEMENT STRONG Additional Blast Furnaces
 Called Into Action WIRE DEMAND STRONG Many Orders Received For Structural and Fabricated steeI-steel Cars
 Are Also In Demand-Things
 Look Better.

New York, June 6.-The movement in finished steel products since June 1 would indicate that the heavy buying in May was less speculative in character than was supposed. Specifications have been coming to the mills in large volume and tho resulting demand. for crude steel has called a large number of blast furnaces of the Steel corporation into commission to supply steel-mal1ing iron.
 The American Steel and Wire company shipped 190,O00 tons of wire products last month breaking all such records. and are receiving urgent requests for additional shipments. Current wire orders continue to run at the rate of 5000 tons per day, or 200 tons in excess of productive ca- pacity.
 There is still large volume of orders in sight for structural and fabricated steel, some of the orders now coming in being 1s,5O0 tons for the Winner bridge over the Missouri river: 4O0O tons for the Philadelphia and Reading railroad 5000 tons for the sub-structure of the post office at the Pennsylvania station New York; 5000 tons for the Vanderbilt hotel, New York; 320O tons for the City hospital at San Francisco, and 2000 tons for the Denver Gas and Electric company.
 Railroads have placed orders for HOO steel cars and the Jersey Central will make formal award for 1500 cars by the middle of the month. It Is under stood that the Cambria Steel company in- terests have virtually secured the order The Gould lines are negotiating for 5000 cars, the Pennsylvania lines for 1900, and the Pennsylvania and Reading for 300. Between 60OO0 and 75,0oo tons of plates and shapes will be required in the con struction of this rolling stock. Foundries have bought less pig iron since the May holidays and there have been few sales of basic, but there are two important in- quiries from eastern steel works r pig iron, as scrap is scarce S,El hign. There is prospect of renewed buying of basic iron for third quarter delivery.
