CUNARDERS TO BE SOLD.
Etruria and Umbria, Once Queens of
the Sea, Hopelessly Outclassed.

The officials of the Cunard Line announced
last night that two of their steamships the
Etruria and the Umbria were for sale. When
the two boats were withdrawn from the transat-
lantic service, in July 1908, it was not known
what had become of them and there were many
rumors as 10 their ultimate fate II is now
learned. however, that the two boats have been
laid up at Birkenhead in England for more
than year and that they are on the market 70
the highest bidder.
With the passing of the Etruria and the I'm
bria another page in the marvellous history of
the modern ocean liner is turned The Umbria
is twenty five years old. and her sister boat the
Etruria. is only twenty four. yet in this brief
space of time both boats have become obsolete.
so rapid has been the improvement in the mod
ern ocean liner
The Cunard Line paid 100000 for the two
boats. and at the time they were known as the
finest product of the shipbuilder's art. They
were the largest and speediest of their day and
were equipped With the largest compound en-
gines both being driven by single screws. They
held all records between New York and Queens
town until 1889. when the City of Paris took
the palm from them. In the last few years both
boats have been left further and further behind
in the race for the supremacy of the sea- until
they are now regarded too slow and too costly
in coal consumption 10 be of any more use.
II is said that the Cunard Line had consid-
cred putting or both of them in the Medi-
terranean service. but it was found that their ap-
petite for coal (45O tons day. precluded their
success in this This being the case. it is
thought that they will he bought in by ship
breakers. who will use them for scrap iron and
IL is not considered that they will fetch much
more than 100000 each. And such is be the
end Of those once peerless hiers of the Atlantis.

H BEHEADING IN Paris.
Great CrO1cd at First Public Erecu-
ton an Fifteen Years.

Paris. Aug 5.-A sudden official announce
ment that public beheading would take place
at 4:3O O'Clock this Thursday morning in the
boulevard fronting the Sante Prison created a
sensation in Paris. which had not seen an exc
cutiOn in fifteen years. Immediately immense
crowds gathered at the scene. but were kept
back from the guillotne by heavy details Of
police and municipal guards. Partisan senti-
ment long has been opposed 70 public execu-
tions. for formerly they were accompanied by
scandalous scenes of revelry.
Despite this sentiment parliament refused 10
abolish the death penalty in France. and in view
of the revolving crime of the man executed this
morning. President Fallieres refused 20 COM
mute his sentence TO life imprisonment. The
victim was one Duchenin. twenty years
and death not resulting at once. fnishd the
crime by strangling her. The motive was rob
berry.
The crowds could not get within two blocks OF
the guillotine. There were jeers as the closed
wagon containing the condemned man drove TO
the guilIotine The only spectators of the exc
cution were the authorities and many journal
lists.
AS the man stepped trembling out of the
wagon. following a priest holding crucifx.
II was seen that according TO the law for par
ricides he was barefooted and that his head was
covered with a transparent black yelling.
The flowing veil fell from the head cape
from the shoulders and the victim was seized
and thrown under the knife. In flash all was
over The crowds dispersed without disorder.

EAST QUIETLY BSORBS.

The revival of interest in the lower priced stocks that represent
claims owned by reputable companies, has a particular significance at
this time when the industrials are weary of speculation, and the I'M
rest in Wall street is fomented by the tariff agitation. The best de-
ducion that can be made from this awakening is that with the easing
Of the financial situation Goldheld will equal, if not surpass, the
who are retiring large blocks of the preferred prospects are doing
so with a well defined purpose, which seems to be the future accre-
ton that is bound. to follow with the resumption of development.
1t is fair to infer that buyers, following a we'll defined plan, propose
to place themselves in such an advantageous position that they can
dictate future policies, or that they have received reliable informa-
tin to the e6ect. that a renewal of activities may be anticipated.
Take Booth. Jumbo Elk, Blue Bull, c. 0. D., Kewanas or Lone Star,
any of them are good buys at the present low prices, and it is certain
that one or all of them will eventually develop into shippers with a
little more money and attention applied in the right direction. This
will revive the railroad shipments, as none of the properties has mill
ing facilities, and the railroads are down to bedrock where they are
competing with the mills. Work undertaken at this time would
bring most of them into the shipping list by the time the Ely and
Goldheld railroad is ready to enter the field for all grades Of sill

The investors Of the east have more confidence in the prospect

steady gain. One of the best features of the depression has been to

HI BRIGHTER DAYS.

Two old, time-worn adages go: Every cloud has a shVe inning

been the one hope of the residents of the Pine Tree camp for the
past two years. During these two years the residents mad drlted
away one by one until a paltry two thousand persons remained IN
the district. And those two thousand remaining have proved true
and loyal citizens. They decided long ago that 1t meant many
months ere Manhattan would have its innings-when it would come
forth, smiling, and say to the world: Behold, We are still mere.
Come thou hither and thou shalt be shown And that time has ar

For over two years the men have delved deep into ne bowels OF
the earth; they have erected mills, and now are developing extern

awaiting delivery to those that come this way. And while the min
es have been working day in and day out, and through the long
night hours, by the Pickering light of their candles, the rest OF the
inhabitants of the town have waited. And it has been a long n
trying wait. One thing that can be truthfuny said about the major
ity of the people here, is, that they have never lost faith. They
bided their time, feeling sure that some day all would be well with
camp and mine, and that they wu Id then reap their just deserts.
And now it seems that their waiting has not been in vain.
Things are looking decidedly better from one end of the district
