SEVENTEEN DROWN
"FRANk II. GOODYEAR" GOES TO
BOTTOM IN COLLISION WITH
JAMES B. WOOD"
THE "WOOD" BARELY MADE PORT
Disaster Occurs North of Point Aux
Barques-Captain is Saved
Six Other Persons Also
Are Picked Up.

Port Huron, Michigan.-Seven.
teen lives were lost in the collision
of two big steel freight steamers on
Lake Huron, north of Point Aux
Barques, in a dense fog, and the
steamer Frank H. Goodyear was sunk
in AZ fathoms of water.
The steamer James B. Wood, of
Cleveland, which struck the Goodyear
bow-on, limped into Port Huron har-
Dor with a big hole in her bow, car
rying half dozen survivors from the
Goodyear. The latter carried crew
of % men and several passengers.
Capt. F. B. Heminger of Algonac
City, Mich, who commanded the Good
year, Chief Engineer Gibson, Steward
David BasSett, one wheelman and two
passengers, Mrs. Thomas H. Bassett
and her daughter of Marine City,
Mich, were saved and brought to
Port Huron on the steamer Wood.
The only hope of the survival of the
others who were on board the Good
year lies in the possibility of their
having been rescued by the steamer
Sir William Siemen, which was near
the wreck and is due at Detroit and
Sault Ste. Marie today.
Falling Hatches Spread Death.
The Goodyear was struck amidships
on the starboard while both of the
bows of the Wood were punctured.
Everyone on board was supplied with
a life preserver and every effort was

boats.
But the water poured into the hold
so fast that the heavy matches were
forced from their frames by the pres
sure from underneath and shot into
the air in every direction.
The falling matches spread death
and injury among the terrified crew
and passengers of the sinking vessel
When the Goodyear settled beneath
the surface of the water it was evil
dent that she was practically broken
in two, the action of the water having
completed the destruction begun by
the blow received in the collision.
Following the accident Captain Glib
son of the Wood ordered the lifeboats
tons to make every possible effort to
save any of the sailors of the sinking
steamer.
Within short time the yawl boat
was brought alongside the Wood and
Captain Heminger, Steward Frank
Bassett, Mrs. Emma Bassett, Frank
Mollick and George Grant were taken
aboard all in an exhausted condition
caused by their exertions to save
themselves and the long time they
were in the water.
For more than seven hours the
Wood remained at anchor near the
scene Of the collision, the captain hop
ing that he would be able to save
some more of the crew of the Good
year. When the fog rose there was
nothing in sight and as his boat was
damaged and in danger of sinking
also Captain Gibson returned to this
port.

A Census Question.

Here is sample of one of the tests
given to the men who took the exam
nation to be census enumerators. The
test is not exactly as it appears on the
question sheets, but is given from the
memory of one of the men who took
the examination:
Sarah Green and Jim Brown were
married in London, England. They
lived there four years, one child was
born to them, then they emigrated to
the United States. A child was born
to them on the ocean. They lived in
New York for nine years, during
which time three more children were
born. Then they moved to Ohio and
another child was born. Then Sarah
and Jim disagreed and were divorced,
and Sarah married another man and
a Child was born to the new union.
Jim meantime was naturalized.
The problem was to place the va
rious facts on the enumeration blank
as they should appear when the Gen.
sus is taken.-Columbus Dispatch.

the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol-
lowed him up the stairs. One of the
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.

FUNERAL RITES OF
KING EDWARD VII.

London. Eng.-The funeral Of King
Edward is declared to have been the
most imposing ceremonial Great
Britain's capital ever witnessed. Thirty
thousand soldiers were brought from
Aldershot and other military camps to
line the streets when the procession
passed.
AS there was no room to barrack
them over night, the soldiers bivouaced
in the parks and streets. The city had
the appearance of an invested town
for two days. Some CT the soldiers
slept in tents in the parks, while the
remainder lay down beside their guns
in the streets.
At conservative estimate 100000
persons passed through Westminster
hall to look upon the coffin of the king
lying in state. Barriers were built, by
means of which the people were
ushered through in four lines at the
rate of $4,000 an hour. The body Of
the late king was not exposed to view.
Queen Mother Chose Hymns.
The hymns sung at the service at
Windsor were all Of the queen moth
er's choice. They were my God. My
Father. While / Stray" Nov the La
borer's Task Is O'er." and II Heard a

Scotland yard had all its detectives
on duty, and these were reinforced by
hundred more from continental
cities. All visitors were watched, but
there was little real fear of anarchistic
attempts, because it was known that
every one under surveillance would be
deported from England if any trouble
were caused on this occasion, and it
was not likely that the persons of the
anarchist type would give up volun-
tarily their safest refuge in Europe.
The procession to Westminster hall
May II for the lying in state was al
neral procession. The cortege included
King George and all the foreign SOW
ereigns on horseback, and the queen
mother and the royal ladies in car
riages.
When the funeral procession started
every street car in London came to a
standstill for quarter of an hour. All
the public houses in London were
closed while the procession was pass
ing.
No Distinction Shown.
There was no distinction as to per-
son nor were there any ticket privi-
leges for the lying in state in West
minister hall. All had to take their
turn in line.
At st. Georges chapel, at Windsor
from whence the body was carried to
its final resting place the carved
stalls were removed in order to give
place to timber seating. Otherwise
not tenth of those entitled to attend
would have been able to enter The
chapel was draped with violet hang
ings.
The service held in Westminster
abbey did not form any part of the
royal funeral. 1t was memorial

not more faithful. acceptant and de- voted. Yet this was very human man In spite of all these things, a man of splendid vigor and health with all a mans impulses, hopes, dreams and aspirations. And he loved her.
 He. too, sat upon the white sands of the gemlike Island and looked out into the far blue of the Pacific wash Ing the distant shores and lands peo- pied with strange creatures of history and romance add he. too wondered. He had had no experience with men and the world and he longed to get away and to take her away.
 She had long since discovered that he was a gentleman. an innate gentle man; that he had been well born. and she had seen to it herself that he had been well bred Yet no mortal man ever went through greater fires of unknown and mysterious temptations than be. He forced himself not to speak words that tllrned. He checked the free course of thoughts that bub- bled and seethed within his brain. and the relationship between them re- mained that of mistress and man. teacher and taught. friend and friend. It was he who so maintained 1t, though of this she was unaware.
 And he, too. longed for some hour to come when he might with right and decency and dignity speak the words which some day he must speak or die. He was not versed in the ways of women. He had no store of knowi- edge. no lesson of experience to fall back upon. He knew but one woman. He could not predicate from anyrpetty maxim, or from any ancient aphorism. or from any worn out philosophy. what she would or would not do under certain conditions. Indeed. he only thought that he loved her and he must tell her or die in the concealment

in which she fancied him so unthink- ing. It never occurred to her that he might entertain an earthly passion for her. She still, from ancient habit, be- lieved herself so far above him that such an ambition would have been lit tie less than sacrilege to him. She lulled herself to sleep with that Idea. She believed. she knew, of course. that all that was needed was a sug- gestion from her. To love is the lot of man. This man had seen no other than her. If she said the word, it would be accomplished She held the 3nly key to his heart; her hand could unlock it on the instant. She forgot the master key and the Master Hand.
 He had controlled that strange trembling that used to take him when ever he touched her, but she could feel his pulse beat and throb when by chance there was any contact even of the casual between them. Some times he had asked her strange ques- tions which she had put by, and some times she caught him looking at her in strange ways that sent the blood to her skin, and s6metinfes turned her pale. Yet she lived in the fools para disc. She did not awake to the possi- bilities of that which she had made him because her apprehension of him had not kept pace with his apprehen- sion of her. To her he was still in some degree the creature that he had peen and sometimes she thought upon her growing love for him with feel Ing of shame as if 1t were conde- Scension, a derogation.
 She did not know what blood was leaping in the veins of the man and how he taught himself. because she had instilled in him honor and de- cency and Christiike self control, to repress these things. She did not know how much faster he had learned certain things than she had intended. She did not know how instinctively he had leaped to conclusions which she imagined were still latent in his mind. This was a good man, this was an honest man, this was gen. tleman, this was a Christian man. There was no question about his faith. It was as simple and abiding as 1t was Bincere.
