Erie, Pa.-With her flag at half
mast, the state fisheries boat, Com.
modore Perry, Capt. Gerry Driscoll
commanding. brought to this port the
frozen bodies of nine of the crew
of the Bessemer and Marquette ferry
No. 2, which left Conneaut, Ohio, Tues
day morning, carrying thirty-two men
and which has probably foundered in
the middle of Lake Erie.
For forty-eight hours Commodore
Perry has been searching the waters
Of Eastern Lake Erie for traces of the
car ferry, but until a tiny Gen-man
yawl was sighted fifteen miles off this
port, the men on the little state FISH
cries craft had almost given up hope
of being able to ever tell even a

Arrived To Late.
AS the Perry came abreast of the
drifting and half w~ater-logged yawl,
the men gathered at the side of the
fish boat saw that they arrived too
late. The nine occupants of the boat,
which was marked "Bessemer and
Marquette No. d." were frozen stiff.
Taking the yawl in tow, the Perry
made all steam for this port.
Capt. Johnson of the life-saving sta
ton of this port, had already sighted
the fish boat and tow and making out
the contents of the yawl, had notified
the Erie chief of police, from Pressure
Peninsula, who in turn notified the
oroner All police reserves were cal
led out and ambulances lined the
wharves as the Perry locked.
News Of the finding of the bodies
had reached the city and thousands Of
persons swarmed to the wharves. AS
soon as the fish boat made fast a
force of men with tackle set to work
raising the bodies of the men to the
dock, where wagons were in waiting.
The procession of dead passed through
the principal streets Of the city, with
hundreds of people following.
Conneaut, Ohio, where most of the
men lived, was notified by telephone
of the grewsome find, and a hundred
residents of that city arrived here
within two hours. They were taken
directly to the %coroner's morgue,
where identifications were made.
Only One Had o%vercoat.
The CT X of the car ferry was the
only man to wear an overcoat. The
eight other men were dressed in over
alls and jumpers, indicating that the
departure from the car ferry had been
hurried. In the bow end of the boat
was found complete clothing for one
man, and it is the belief that the
yawl originally contained ten men,
and that one becoming crazed. dis
carded his clothing and jumped into
the icy waters of Lake Erie.

THE FINEST AND CHOICEST LOTS EVER OFFERED TO BRIDGE
 PORTERS.


 Sound. View. In this issue will be found an ad referring to this attrac- tive building lot proposition, whereby one of the most beautiful tracts of land ever offered to the public is now open for the sale of lots. This prop erty is high, dry and healthy and from every point one can get as fine a view of the City of Bridgeport and Long Island Sound as can be found anywhere near Bridgeport. The site of the castle has been purchased recently by parties who will remodel the Cas- tie and make of it a beautiful home for themselves, taking in six or seven of the lots around it. It is but a short walk from the end of the Brooklawn trolley on North avenue, and a good to view the surrounding scenery on the Fourth of July.
 No doubt this land in the near flu ture will materially advance in price. and these lots if you will take the time to look them over, you will find are beautifully situated. Every lot is to grade and needs no filing but is all ready now to build upon. A fine macadam road runs to this property and one must see and look it over to apprecite what a lovely place it is Anybody investing money in these lots cannot take any chances, as they are the Fourth and have a look for your self. Terms are very easy and compe tition is not feared.
 The well known real estate firm of Charles S. Cole, Inc, 2S7 State street, has this property in charge, and will cheerfully give all information, fur msh1ng maps, prices, etc., at any time.

Mayor Lee has appointed EN-Mayor Reynolds to the Board of Appraisal of Benefits and Damages. Recognition of the Ex-Mayor's services in the past -notably his approval of the twenty year water contract-has been slow in coming, but it has finally come. It may be recalled that whan Mayor Lee filled a. previous vacancy on the board, there were charges that he thus vio- lated a pledge to name Ex-Mayor Key holds, that he denied having made such a pledge, and that MT. Reynolds was reported as charging him with a deliberate, Justification. The appoint nlent just made may perhaps be taken to indicate that Mayor Lee has finally recalled the alleged pledge to memory. But this is comparatively unimportant at this time. The really important fact is that Mayor Lee has, in effect, approved the Ex-Mayor's action upon the water question

Senator Root asserts that the corpor- ate income tax is wise, just and con stftutional while an individual income tax would fulfil neither of these three desirable conditions. The average man is unable to understand the Sen ator's exceedingly fine distinction be- tween the two taxes, but he can under stand the Senator's argument that a general income tax would bring in so much money as to necessitate either the repeal of many protective duties or a heavy increase in expenditures in order to prevent the accumulation of a dangerously heavy Treasury surplus. There is growing popular belief that very many of the tariff duties are oppressive and should be repealed, and also that a general income tax would equalize the burden of supporting the government and compel those who benefit most thereby, to bear a. more equitable share.
 It is somewhat surprising that Sena- tors who have always "stood by the big corporations are now supporting the corporate income tax, unless it be that they prefer to tax the corpora tions rather than pay taxes upon their own incomes which, in quite number of eases, dwarf their official salaries into comparative insignificance.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Salt and vinegar are good to clean brass, work.
 Bags of heated salt are excellent to relieve neuralgia
 White pepper is preferable to black for seasoning chicken soup.
 Crisp celery should be served with cold meat. It is a nerve tonic.
 If a knife is slightly heated, it will cut bread and cake much more cas-
 Flour sprinkled generously over suet will make the chopping process sim pier.
 Keep tacks in bottles. It saves open ing many boxes to find a particular kind.
 Except in extraordinary cases, every sick room should have some sunlight every day.
 To keep cheese moist and fresh and free from mold, wrap in cloth wet with good vinegar.
 To clean white paint, dip a cloth in hot water, then in bran and rub it. Rinse with cold water.
 Fat will not burn if a crust of bread or piece of raw potato is placed in the kettle with it.
 When cleaning house use plenty of turpentine in the scrub water It is certain death to moths.
 In cutting garments it is sometimes better to fasten the pattern in place by weights instead of pins.
 Leftover cereals need not be wasted They are excellent fried like mush and eaten with syrup or honey.
 A teaspoonful of glycerine, given in a wineglass of hot milk, will relieve severe paroyxsm of coughing.
 Cheese wrapped in waxed paper and put in the refrigerator will keep for a, week and look as if freshly cut
 To keep the tubes of macaronf from sticking together the water must be kept at a gaHoping boil, as with rice.
 For washing coarse clothes, soft soap is the best and has the advantage of going further than yellow soap.
 Oxalic acid in the proportion of one to twenty may be used to remove per spiration stains from wearing apparel
 Bacon fat may be saved and used to fry fish in. It gives the fish a good flavor and keeps it from falling apart.
 If a tiny pinch of soda is put into a saucepan in which fruit is being stewed less sugar will be needed to sweeten it.
 Green lima beans boiled until they are nearly tender and then fried in butter are better than when merely stewed
 A little tin ruler should be kept with every sewing outfit. It is much cas- fer to use in measuring bands, hems and tucks, than tape.

Senator Bulkeley has heard from some of his constituents upon the cor porate income tax proposition, and has evidently decided to break away from his blind following of Senator Aldrich and to vote against the measure It is the more easy for him to do because the Rhode Island Senator is decidedly 1ukewarm upon the proposed tax and evidently supports it only as a means of p1acating President Taft and induc- ing him to consent to the many in creased tariff duties passed by the Senate at his (A4drich's) instance. MT. Addrfch's interest in all these questions is only temporary, for he plans to re- tire in 1911 and to enjoy life upon his fortune which is, by some, estimated at 5000, 900.

The Treasury deficit at the close of the fiscal year on June 30th, was less than predicted but still uncomfortably large. It was nearly $90, ,00O, GOO, an increase of $150O0, 900 in customs re- ceipts having made it less than ad- vance E estimates. Internal revenue receipts decreased about $5,00O, GOO. Expenditures for the year aggregated s6s4 ,244, ,002, an increase of about $37,- GOO GOO. There are hopes that the fiscaIeyear which has just commenced will make a better showing, but in creased tariff duties. may lessen the customs receipts, while the heavy ap- propriations made Iby Congress at it's last regular session will largely in crease the expenditures.

The simple European expedient of de- claring the air to be a highway, by statute, without exercise of eminent domain, would hardly seem practicable in this country, as constituting talk ing of property without due compen- ation, unless the courts hold, as sug- gested, that the air is already a pub lie highway above the height of effec- tive possession.
