Steamship company burned TO the wa

off Point Duma and is miles north OF

of So were saved by the heroic action
of the officers and crew and the fact
that there was calm at the time Of
the disaster.
All of those on board escaped on life
boats and on RATS and were safely land
ed at Point Duma on a little beach. They
are camped tonight in the SUM canyon
back of the point.
The fire started in the second cabin
while dinner was being served and had
made such Roadway before it was dis
covered that the greatest difficulty was
experienced in launching the boats and
life raft and placing the passengers safe
ly aboard them.
A panic among the passengers was
averted by the prompt action Of the Of
ficers and crew, who gave the passen-
gers no chance 70 save their personal
belongings.

While the hull of the st. Croix was
burning fiercely the steamship City of
Topeka passed within a short distance
of her, but being unable to discover
any signs Of life aboard, proceeded on
her course to RedOndO and gave out

First officer Mills states that as the

CLAWS TO Be CALLED
AS WITNESS IN CASE
Progress of the Hearing Into
Cunningham Coal Claims
in Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. POI. r. CLAWS
chief of the field work Of the general
land office at Seattle, who was removed
from office by Secretary Of the Interior
Ballinger with the approval Of Presi-
dent Taft, was called to the witness
stand today in the hearing of the gov
eminent inquiry into the validity OF
the Cunningham coal land claims in
Alaska, in connection with which
charges made by CLAWS resulted in his
dismissal.
He was asked merely to identify g
letter which he had written recently tC
j. NJ. Sheridan, special attorney for the
government in the inquiry, in reply tc
a request from Sheridan for a confer
ence concerning facts to which the
former field chief could testify.
CLAWS wrote, in reply, that he would
meet the prosecutor, but that a confer
ence was unnecessary as the govern
ment was already in possession of all
the information to which he could tes-
tify. Mr. CLAWS will be called to the
stand Monday.
The government continued the intro
duction Of evidence to show that the
filing on $3.50 acres OF coal land near
Katalla, the value of which is esti-
mated at about $50, 100000. was made by
thirty-three claimants with the pur-
pose of consolidating the claims and
mining coal through one company.
Andrew Kennedy, a government ex-
pert, who examined the claims, testified
that there had been permanent devel-
opment upon but one claim.
DR.. ]. G. Cunningham of Spokane told
of the discovery of coal by his brother
Clarence, after whom the claims were
named.
The only testimony Of a sensational
nature was the introduction in evidence
Of a copy of the notebook Of Clarence
Cunningham, procured by CLAWS, In
which an entry states that Cunningham
agreed to carry a coal claim of $50 acres
for Senator W. B. Hepburn of Idaho
in return for legal services. Other ex-
hibits, however, denied any connection
Of Hepburn with the Alaska coal claims

TRYING TO SECURE
A TITLE FOR NIECE
Anna Gould Not Satisfied With
the Misery Brought Upon
Herself.

Paris, Nov 21.-As If the Goulds had
not gained sufficiency of foreign titles
in the family, with their attendant trou-
bles, Princess de Sagan, formerly Anna
Gould, is said to be doing her utmost
to bring about a match between her
niece, Marjorie. daughter of George j..
Gould Of New York. and the Duke of
Berwick. Of England, better known as
the Duke d'AIba, and whose patronymic,
Stuart Fftzjames, perpetuates the royal
origin of his house.
The princess approves OF the proposed
alliance, realizing what a splendid social
position it would give her niece, making
her cousin Of the ex-empress of the
French, Eugene (who is related to the
family through another marriage), and es-
tablishing her in the very best and most
exclusive English society.
But, apart from this, the head Of the
princess is, and for a long time has been,
completely turned through her alteration
for titles. Her friends expected that aft
er she realized the awful mistake she
made in having married the unspeakable
Count de Castellane, she would not only
seek no more titles, but would have
urged her niece not to risk marrying a
member OF the nobility, who, no doubt,
is chiefly anxious &c annex a few mil
lin dollars belonging to her wealthy
father.

SHOPS IF FLORENCE
QUAINT OLD PLACES ALLURING
 TO THE TOURIST.
Everything In City Is in Artistic or Classic Form-What You Find and How You May Purchase These
 Fascinating Crafts.

Rome.-The shops of Florence are wonderful, enticing, and numerous. They glitter their gold and silver toys in the open fronts of the little shops established in the time of Cosmos >Ffrst, that are set picturesquely on either side of the Ponte Veeehio Of all the wonders of this wonderful old { 7 of Tuscany this old bridge is the
 5st provocative of thoughts of the past with it's glories, it's cruel wars, it's deeds of blood and of romance. Stand ing in the loggia its three central arches frame the landscape like pic lures. The sunset sky is wonderful You see the river winding siuggishly, now green. now yellow, and the tall, stately buildings bordering the Arno. their graceful arches and colonnades rising from the water as in Venice and beyond are the green hills of Val. lombrosa The shops on the old bridge are set close together, and the side walk is so narrow you must continual ly take to the street to make progress, only to spring nimbly back again to escape being crushed under the wheels of passing omnibus.
 But though the bridge is medley of human beings, seemingly inextric- ably mixed with vehicles of all descrip. tions, no one ever is crushed, nor in any way damaged. You walk in the narrow street or stray carelessly across it. and escape harm. for the movements of all are as leisurely as your own. Precious and semi-precious stones of every size. shape and color are displayed in the little windows of the shops with draping chains of gold and silver, and pink, white and red corals. Crossing the bridge to turn into the Borgo St. Jacepo your ears are deafened by the sound of hammers by which men weld into form pots, dishes and jars of shining brass and copper This little dark street is lined with fascinating shops. The windows

are full of antique treasures. Old church lamps in silver. bronze and brass hang on hooks above the open doors; they sway towards you, invit. ingly. There are old candles icks, and Italian, three-wicked lamps like those in use now, where gas or electricity is not. There are shops of wood carvers where you may take lessons in this ancient art, if it pleases you
 Everything in Florence is in artistic or classic form. At the little lattaio where I buy cream for my afternoon tea, it is given me in a little glass bottle shaped like an antique vase. On the Via Maggie there is a marvellous little shop no larger than a good sized room; it is literally crammed with fas- cinating small things Old silver lamps, vessels, teapots and vases Handmade metal things, all charming and desirable, and not dear, are too numerous to mention. There is antique jewelry in earrings, bracelets and belt clasps. l saw earrings set with curi- ous dull green stone that could be di-
 
 in shape-they would make charming tips to cravat ends or to those of a bow There are old rings set with huge stones in a curious metal, neither gold nor silver; and eameos are so plentiful and so cheap that one could easily pick up enough to make a neck lace or tiara at wonderfully small sum.
 It is impossible to give the prices of these things; there is no price that should be accepted; the final price de- bends on the tact and shrewdness of buyer and seller
 Coveting wonderful chain of large silver beads, nearly two yards in length, asked the price; the answer came glibly "venticinque, lire, Sig nora" I offered thirteen lire, but shrugs and up-liftings of hands with vehement med -shakings was the only response. asng my price on my card I gave it to the man, telling him in case he changed his mind he could send the chain to that address.
 He mournfully accepted the card and. without looking at it, laid 1t on a table and sadly but politely responded to my "Buon giorno." On reaching home two hours afterward, to my joy. found the chain already there.

Anaer Shrinks Vitality.

Dr. Maurice de Fleury, distin- guished Frenchman, advances the the ory that every time one becomes an- gry his vitality shrinks. After even the most artfully suppressed signs of bad temper the vitality becomes small CT and smaller, until finally nothing is left. Anger is a certain kind of ce- rebral excitement, explains Dr. de Fleury The hyperasthenic subject is always on it's verge. while the neuras- thenic becomes infuriated only by a sudden bound of reaction excited from without But at that moment when they are let loose the two are alike, save that the strong man is binder brute, while the Weak man is some what of an actor and seems to aim at effect

 And he arose and put on his shoes.
