IS DROWNED IN SHIP CRASH
COLLISION ON LAKE HURON DUE
TO DENSE FOG.
Freighter Frank n. Goodyear Sinks
When Hit by the James B. Wood
Five Escape.

Port Huron, Individuality eigh.
teen persons lost their lives in a col
lision between the large steel steam
Transit company and the steamer
James B. Wood, another steel vessel
belonging to the Gilchrist Transporta-
ton company, in Lake Huron about
thirty-five miles off Point AUX Bar
ques. The Goodyear sank in 40
fathoms of water. But five persons
were saved.
The collision occurred about six
o'clock Tuesday morning in a heavy
fog which overhung the lake.
A partial list of missing follows:
Mrs. Lillian Bassett, wife of cook,
Algonac, Mich; John Bassett, three
years old, Algonac; Archie Fuller, Sec
ond mate, Algonac; John Gibson,
chief engineer; Gus Zaetsch.
When the steamers came together
the crew of the Goodyear, which is
reported to have been struck amid
ships, had time only to seize life pre-
servers. Only few could jump over
board before the boat began to fill
with water. The cook had just
sounded the second call for breakfast
on the Goodyear when the crash came
and many were in the messroom.
All rushed on deck and then the boat
began to sink. Several jumped into
the water and managed to get out OF
reach of the boat, which was filling
fast.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in
the center and with a sound which
could be heard above the whistling OF
the Wood, sank out of sight, carrying
with it all except five on board.
The bow of the Wood was stove in,
but she rested on her bulkhead, and,
although some water flowed into the
hold, was kept af1oat with the pumps
Captain Gibson of the Wood ordered
the lifeboats lowered and gave the
crew instructions to make every pos
sible effort to save any of the sail
ors Of the sinking steamer.

GETTING MAD.

It very often happens that a person
will get mad in arguing matter or
when some one differs with him. One
commits great mistake when he acts
thus. He weakens himself and
strengthens his adversary. Anger
diminishes the force of an argument.
AS soon as one gets mad in arguing a
point, ne should stop talking or change
his temper. Anger stands in the way
of truth. 1t contracts ones view. 1t
spoils knowledge. Real wisdom, &C
cording to the Scriptures, is first
pure, and then peaceable, gentle and
easy to be entreated," says Ohio State
Journal. There is no room for anger
in wisdom, and certainly, when man
is engaged in differing with his neigh
Dor, it is best to be wise. Men some
times can't bear to be disputed. AS
soon as one differs, they summon up
their ire, shake their fists. and rush
down on a man like clatter of tongs.
It does no good. 1t confirms the adj
Versary in his view and the rancor
reacts upon those who indulge in it.
Observe when you have had an argu-
ment with a man, and got mad, how
afterward you regret it; how really it
seemed a little devil had intruded it.
self upon your talk and left its tracks
in your heart! And then, what lack
of pleasure there is in getting mad!
The only argument that is pleasant
and effective is that which is pure,
peaceable and gentle.
