Eastport, Maine, Oct. 27.-Beyond
the shadow of doubt in the opinion
of the survivors, Captain Newman and
thirty-four members of his crew OF
the steamer Hestia, who put off in
their boat after the steamer struck a
ledge at Grand Manan yesterday, are
lost. The search for survivors was in
stituted today, but so far without sue
cess.
A recapitulation today of the
steamers lists showed that besides
the crew of thirty-six there were five
other persons aboard, and that twenty
eight persons were in the boat which
was successfully launched but prob.
ably lost before daylight. 1t seems
that after eleven persons had taken
their places in the first boat launched
the rope holding the second boat
broke and all were thhown into the
sea. Four members of the crew who
were still aboard the ship succeeded In
pulling two of the men from the water
These six men were taken off yester
day by Seal Cove life savers. Two
more were rescued and fifth drifted
off alone in boat which had righted
itself Six persons were drowned al
the side of the Hestia.

dered valuable assistance to Con-
gressman Nate Kendall in the last

True closes one of the most interest
ing post office situations in the Qua
ker city. There were number of
candidates for the post onice, includ-
ing several of the prominent business

Hoffman is Removed.
A sensation was caused here yes
terday by the removal Of Charles ".
Hoffman, who has been postmaster Of
the Oskaloosa post office for twelve
years. He was dismissed from the
service of the government by an order
from the head of the post office depart
ment An inspector turned the Office
over to Frank E. Smith the assistant
postmaster, and he will have charge
of the Office until Mr.. Hoffman's term
expires, December Is.
The reason for dismissal it was
claimed, was that Hoffman had failed
to answer letters written him by the
department The accounts were found
to be perfectly straight to cent.
The order of discharge came by
wire At first Mr. Hoffman was inclin-
ed to make fight, but as his term ex-
pires December Is, he thought it was
not worth while. The letters which he
failed to answer related to the new
federal building. He merely put off
writing them from day to day Post

Tell This to the Marines.

The old sea captain, in brass but.
tons, sat smoking comfortably by his
fireside. when Jack, his sailor son,
burst in upon him.

son; we've put in for a day"
Too rough" exclaimed Mr. Tar,
with visions of his own days on the

around the cape, when a storm came
on, and it blew down the mainmast,
and the mizzenmast was swept away,

"Wen, you see" explained the son,
this storm was so bad that it blew
the anchors off the captains buttons,

And even the tabby cat blushed

Universal laziness, nihilism Of
ideas, the desire to get everything
without trouble, in lands that the gods
never traversed, have provoked living
pictures. Eclectic gentlemen have OBJ
served that the graceful and violent
exercise of the dance has measurably
developed the legs of women, while it
left their busts delicate, and that
women in costumes would have a
most harmonious beauty if they re-
mained calm. They are calm in the
new, evolution of the drama. In the
noise of a vague music which will
eventually be suppressed, spectators
seated before a curtain and immov-
able women behind it look at one an
other patiently and silently like two
flocks of geese. Thalia now is dumb
and has quite forgotten her hymn in
praise of Bacchus. The end of the
evolution will be that people will go
to the theater to see nothing at all. l
know that it will be absolute perfec-
ton; but ! do not like perfection."-

try has arisen among the men of the
marine corps stationed at League

canes Not the usual walkingstich
that the civilian carries, but the short
two-foot silver headed bamboo, just

American soldiers have been remark
ably free from affectations that are

FAMED SINGING soys OF JENA.
ousrowth Of Age Of Baeehantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
Of Jena and other German towns used
to echo TO the songs of blackrobed
monks. who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of poor
students, known as Bacchantes These
Bacchantes wandered from one uni
yersity to another in search of better
instruction or better means of sup
port. Such a wandering life was fa-
vored by the customs of times when
people thought it virtue to give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchante, beg. and even
steal for him. and for the most part
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was waif without other protec-
tion he had to make the best of mat
ters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches, but
also We're assisted by private sub
scriptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only in the churches, but before
the houses of their patrons as we'll
Thus they ceased to be beggars. Ma
tin Luther himself as a boy had been
one Of these singers, and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom of begging entirely passed
away. There Is famous picture OF
Luther as singing boy in Eisenach
where his song attracted the attention
OF the good Frau Gotta, who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the |
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
lr the historic castle OF the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 of the Jena sing
ng boys, five each of the ages Of II,
2, 1S and IA years. They are or
,hans, and the only qualifications for
he privilege of four years board and
are good character, ability
o sing and obedience to the laws of
he organization, one Of which re-
Iuires them to sing before the houses
