stration at Conservation Congress
at st. Paul.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 8.-The two
opposing ideas of conserving natural
resources met fairly and squarely here
when Senator Beverage, in an elo-
quent speech, declared for national
control. while James ]. Hill argued
the contrary.
Clifford Pinchot received an ovation
that furnished the most dramatic mo-
ment of the congress. The former
forester, the object OF wild demon
stration by the audience, stood with
tears streaming from his eyes until
the outburst of cheers had subsidized
and the spectators were again in their
seats.
Just what Senator Beverage was
trying to say complimentary to Mr..
Pinchot was drowned in the roar that
rose the moment the trend of his re-
marks became apparent.
Clifford Pinchot," said the speaker,
and the outburst started. 1t grew I'M
til every one was yelling and the
hats and handkerchiefs.
Senator Beveridge had no sooner re-
tired than cries of "Pinchot! Pin

was dragged forward by President

claimed as has been done here. Con-

Exactly" said the guide. They
are initiating the poses OF the figures
IN the portraits. Anybody who sits
for a portrait is supposed to strike a
graceful attitude. All these people
who have never been painted realize
the grace there is in the poise OF the
head, the turn of the wrist, the slope
OF the shoulders. They wish they
could look like that, and uncon-
sciously they try 1t.
THE men are as bad as the women.
They straighten up. they droop. they
tilt their heads. they arrange their

ures they admire most. Sometimes
their attempts are very clever, again
they are simply ridiculous"

,!2s PERISH IN LAKE
CAR FERRY PERE MARQUETTE
SINKS TO BOTTOM OFF
LuDiNGToN.
THIRTY-THREE ARE SAVED
Believed That 20 Freight Cars Be-
came Loose and That Water Rolled
Into Vessels Stern During Heavy
Sea.

Milwaukee. Sept 10.-Twenty-nine
lives were lost in Lake Michigan when
the Pere Marquette's car ferry, No. Is.
sank from unknown cause twenty
miles off Sheboygan. Wis.
1t is declared one of the worst ma
rine disasters In the history of Lake
Michigan navigation. The boat was
valued at 100000, and the cargo.
which included thirty-two loaded cars
estimated to be worth $4,000.
Survivors Reach Milwaukee.
At the sacrifice of two Of her own
seamen, and after terrible hours OF
struggle the steel car ferry Pere Mar
quette No. II. which went to the as
sistance OF No. IS. reached this port
with three dead, and twenty-nine sur
vivors of the crew of her sister ship.
Twelve of the rescued were In one
of the ships boats, the remainder
were clinging to the wreckage or
floating about buffeted by the debris.
See No. 10 Sink.
The catastrophe occurre- approx
mately thirty miles off from Port
Washington. No. II. bound from MIL
waukee for Ludington. reached the
wreck just as the No. Is sunk out or
sight. Several miles away lone
boat was fioundering in the surge and
swell of the waves. and on all sides
were the shrieks and screams OF the
poor wretches soaked through and
through with the almost ice-cold water
and gripped by the strong winds.
Only few had time to dress
The Pere Marquette No. 20. out
from Ludington bound for Milwaukee
and manned by crew most OF whom
come from the same city as those on
the sunken vessel, was the third craft
to reach there. Just prior to its ar
rival the fishing tug Tester, out from
Port Washington. had picked up six
dead, among them Capt. Kitty, which
were transferred to the No. II and
taken back to Ludington.
Cause of Disaster Unknown.
In marine circles it is believed that
the string of twenty-eight cars be-
came loose as the ferry was buffeted
about and that the water rolled into
the vessels stern, which is wide open.
This seems plausible in view of the
fact that the sea was rolling from
the north. the most dangerous on
Lake Michigep, while the steamer was
heading southwest by south.
The Inflated car ferry, which has
contributed the first fall disaster on
the lakes this year, was built in Cleve-
land twelve years ago at cost of
$4,000. 1t was fully insured, as
were the cars and contents.
Three steamers have reached here
from the scene OF the wreck, but only
wild theories are given as to the
cause of the wreck.

BELIEVE FAIR DATES

Say a Lucky Star Is Shining Over
State Fair Plans.
POSTAL WANTED LATTER DATE
Management Of State Show Arranged
Time With Special View of Avoid
Ing Raln-Think Septem-
Der a Dry Month.

Misunderstanding to the state
fair officials, there is lucky star shin
Ing over the state fair plans this year.
This view is held because the post
ponement Of the fair until two weeks
later this year avoided three days of
rain which would have been encoun-
tered had tho date remained the same
as last year.
President Fred Postal was the one
who stood out for the later dates, and
finally succeeded in convincing the
other fair officials September 10 to "a
was ME proper time to hold the 1910
exhibition. Before he had convinced
them. however, the records In the
weather office for the past 80 years
were consulted, with the result that
the corresponding week in September
during these SO years was found to be
noticeably dryer than other weeks Of
the same month.
The rain over the recent holiday
did not affect the spirits of the fair
officials. On the other hand, one and
all said that 1T can rain from now
until fair time, If by so doing, we can
have a dry week" Nothing but bad
weather, they assert, can prevent the
coming Michigan fair from being the
best ever seen in the state.
Elaborate press headquarters have
been fitted up by the management in
the Michigan building, this year known
as the Administration building, for the

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
in Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
Of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one OF
the merchants of the place. / noticed
q somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that IL was Postum. was SO
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was
over. bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked 1t SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
lily. but in more marked degree In
the case of my mother. as she was a
victim of long standing"
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time To time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF human

\ Seamstress Overtaken by
Sudden Death.

Prosperity no more secures happi-
mess and influence than June insures
sunshine. Apart from that spiritual
state which makes for peace, the actu-
al contentment of men or women In
our world Is chiefly founded upon their
relation to work. The idler is always
wretched. The worker, as Ruskin and
Carlyle persistently taught, Is truly
enviable when he has work. when he
feels 1t fairly within his powers. and
when he takes pride In his perform

Mary Anne Bruce was seventy years

there about nine at night. She had
"a small old-age pension, and earned
eight or nine shillings week. Her
entire income during her many years
of sewing had probably been equal In
Its buying power In an American city
to less than IS a week.
But this slender dole Of shillings,
contrasting with the long hours OF
work, was not the whole story of the
hressmaker's life. Witnesses further
testified that she had been employed
by one firm for 40 years, that she was

all the employees were much upset"
on hearing of her death. So the quaint
tribute runs.
Forty years of toll. and then sudden
death overtaking age and unguarded
weakness! 1t Is grim and gloomy
record in the newspaper history of an
ambitious, money-loving age. But she
was "the pride OF the workroom," and
her fellow workers loved her. That is
surely writ large in the Great Book OF
Heroic Deeds. For this woman, as for
another faithful soul, 1t may be said
that as she passed over, the trumpets
