also was made of the proposed con-

following to say:

the residents Of Southern Maryland

struction of the two long projected
railroads, Of which taey stand so
much in need, and which should
have been built years ago. l am
prepared to say, however, that the
natural progress in Southern Mary
land during recent years and since
Il came under my minute inspection
has been so marked that it is only q
question of time before railroad

necessary, but SO generally demanded
that their cons, ruction will be tact,
partially through local enterprise aud
partially outside capital, which will
find satisfactory returns in the invest

her, encountered fog the following
morning when nearing the Japanese
coast and was proceeding at slow
speed when she struck on a reef, 600
yards from Shirahama village and a
half mile nearer shore than the Da-
kota wreck. Commander Cooper. chief
officer. was on the bridge and two
lookout men were on duty.
The liner bumped heavily over the
reef and the engines were put full

but drawn revolvers and a show of
force soon quieted them, although they
fought among themselves for some time
for places.
1t was soon evident that the liner
was resting high on the reef, the
bump by the stern having lifted the
vessel high out of the water. The fog
soon lifted and showed the shore line
close at hand. 1t was not found nee
essary to lower the boats, for the
steamer was soon surrounded by sam
pans from Shirahama. Breakfast was
served on board and the cabin pas
sengers got their baggage together,
Within two hours all were landed
safely. The survivors were sheltered
in a temple at Shirahama until taken
to- Yokohama by tug.
The steamer lies Wedged In on the
reef, having driven herself on two
rocky pnnacles. The lower part Is full
of water and the main deck Is sprung.
Had the vessel not struck otliquely, 1t
Is believed she would have crumpled
up her bow, probably with great loss
of life.

.PAR|SH|ONERS TO BALL

Spokane, Aug. 13.-Invitations to a
dance under church auspices on
church property have been extended
to every family in st. Francis Xavier
parish, Spokane. by Rev. Father j.
Rebmann, pastor, the affair taking
place in the parochial school the even
ing Of August 16. The priest, who an
nounced the dance from the pulpit at
the Sunday services, urged the par
ishioners to attend. promising all a
good time Officers and members OF
the ladies' altar society will be the
hosts. Father Rebmann thinks the
dance Is harmless with proper asso-
citation and supervision, but he is op-
posed to public dances, saying that the
evil Is not in the dance itself, but in
the abuse Of 1t. Father Rebmann is
among the veteran priests In Spokane
and was for years an officer of Con
zaga college He Is liberal in his
views and believes the right kind OF
dance is good form of wholesome
amusement.
