Seven Men of Schooner Hollis
wood Picked Up by Liner.
CAPTAIN REMAINS ON VESSEL
Refused to Leave Ship, but Ordered
Crew Into Life Boats-Schooner
Was Fast Filling With Water
Sad Scene at Parting.

New York, Oct 25.-Seven men
rescued from the four masted schooner
Holliswood were brought to Perth Am
boy by the Norwegian steamer Harald,
Capt. E. A Berg, from Tampico One
OF the men, whose leg was broken,
was taken to the Smith inflrmary.
Capt. E. D. Walls, of the Inflated
schooner, refused to desert his ship
and has, in all probability, been
drowned. He said he would stick to
the ship to the last, but refused to al
low any of his men to remain with
him, and they reluctantly climbed
aboard the life boat which the Harald
had sent to their aid, and after shak-
ing hands with the captain they left
him alone on the ship, which had by
that time half filled with water.
The men say that it was only a
question of a few hours when the
schooner would have entirely filled
with water and sunk, and although
they implored the captain to abandon
the vessel, he refused and said:
"Pll stick to her, boys, you save
your lives" Some of the crew were
for remaining with the captain, but
he ordered them all into the life boat
and watched them as they were roWed
away to the rescue ship.
Capt. Berg, of the Harald, said the
following message was sent to him
by Capt Walls of the Holliswood:
"Please report that the Holliswood
is half filled with water and is sink
ing Kindly notify Pendleton & Pen
dleton, of 1870 Pearl street, New York.
"E. A. WALLS, master"
Capt Berg said on Oct. IS he was
on the bridge and saw a wreck about
six miles to the south. When he got
within a mile of the vessel he was
able to make out that there were
eight men on board. The vessel was
dismantled and in bad way.
Capt. Berg ran a little closer and
then ordered the life boeat launchd
The boat went to the Holliswood and
then began the work Of getting the
screw of the schooner into the life
boat. One by one the crew of the
schooner left the vessel after taking
farewell of their captain and climbed
aboard the life boat Then they were
rowed to the Harald and taken aboard
that vessel and were landed here. The
Holliswood survivors were loud in
their praise of Capt. Walls.

New Era Noticeable in New
York Campaign.
DAY OF RED FIRE HAS PASSED
NEWSPAPERS and Literature Have TAX.
en- the Places of the Old Devices
Appeals Made to Reason,
Not Emotion.

New York, Oct 25-Passing of old.
marked by the present campaign in
New York. Keen political observers
have noted several times that the cam,
paign is the quietest in many years,
and they declare that it is not due to
public apathy, but to the fact that the
day of red fire, torchlight parades, ban
ners, bands and buttons, as we'll as
street corner spellbinding and cart tail
oratory, has gone by.
In all New York there are not more
than half dozen banners this year.
no American flags are used for cam
paign advertising, and the man wear
ing a button with the name and pic.
ture of his favorite candidate is a
rarity.
con the whole the new system Is
BETTER" declared John A. Mason, sec
rotary of the Democratic state commit
tee.
Red fire and parades don't make
votes. The quiet campaign is more
effective. With the passing Of the time
honOred customs and methods, saner
ways of doing the work are coming in
to vogue. Newspapers and literature
have taken the places of the old de,
vices. Appeals now are made to the
voters reason-not to his emotion.
"The last time flags, bunting, ban
ners and buttons were used largely in
this city was the McKinley-Bryan cam,
paign of 1906. In that year the Amer
lean flag was used extensively. That
was national campaign but in every
campaign since then there has been a
constant tendency to get away from
the outward and visible sign Of polit
ical activity.
During the last mayoralty campaign
one party alone spent $1,000 on but
tons Not a cent is used by the New
York committee for this purpose this
year. Similarly with Autographs and
posters. In the old days nearly every
store window had a Autograph of a
candidate on view. This year one must
walk blocks before finding one"

Report CassamicCiOIa In Ruins
as Result of Storm.
WARSH|pS HURRY TO SCENE
Reports of Terrific Rainstorm Along

Deluged-HeIp Needed.

Rome, Oct 25. - Late dispatches

ing the terrific rainfall along the
slopes of Vesuvius. 1t is now stated
that the floods resulted in the wash
ing away of thousands of tons of lava
and ashes which had accumulated
along the crests Of the mountain since
the last eruption. Floods are re-
ported at Cetara, Amalfi and else
where. Accurate news from Ischia is
still awaited, but unverified reports
from there indicate that the loss Of
life in the district have been heavy.
The mayor of Cassamicciola tele-
graphs the project of police here that
Cassamicciola has been destroyed, az
was forecasted in earlier dispatches.
The telegram adds that there are
many victims and that help is urgently
needed. AS a result of this plea, the
government has sent fleet of war
ships, consisting of three battlesh1ps
and four cruisers, with instructions
to hurry to the scene of the disaster
with all food available. Troops also
have been hurried to the stricken city.
Word comes that it is not likely that
there are any Americans among the
victims of the disaster. Later advices
indicate that the hotels at Cassamic-
cola are empty owing to the pre-
valence of cholera at Naples and that
the flood damage is confined to the
destruction of a few wooden houses
which are occupied by peasants. The
only American known to have been in
Cassamicciola is Robert Hale,
painter, who comes from st. Paul,
Mimi, and who is said to have left
the town seyeal days ago.

victor Record. for March

Judging by the list of new Victor rec ords for March, great things have recent ly been going on in the Victor recording laboratory. It is a wonderful thing in itself to produce an entire act of Faust, and when 1t is considered that 1t was necessary to bring all the way from Paris one of the artists for the sole purpose of taking part in this number. the record becomes still more wonderful. Marcel Journet, the greatest basso now in grand opera, was the singer who made this fly ing trip One Is entranced, at the beauti- fuI rendition of the prison scene from Faust sung by Farrar. Caruso and Jour- net.
 Another superb record is the great Mis- erere scene by Caruso. Aida and the Met ropolitan opera house chorus.
 The new Lauder series are sure to make a hit, for no such series of comedy spe- cialties has ever been produced before. His MT John MacKay'' is rolicking song: live Loved Her Ever Since She Was a Baby is an elaborate and rather touching study of slow Scotch lover.
 Another big feature is a soprano solo by Lucy Isabelle Marsh. The selection Is a vocal waltz. ''The Swallows''
 Three selections by Sousa's bank de- serve to rank with the most remarkable of the victor's productions.
 Other contributors this month are the Victor Light Opera company. Reed Mil- Ter, Pryor's band. the Whitney brothers, Billy Murray and the Haydn quartet.
