They're All Good American Names.
4 To write the history or this coun-
try IN song has always been the aim
lof Billy Jerome. and the satirical
manner In which he sometimes
brings certain events to the notice Of
his great following has brought fav-
orabIe comment from some OF the
greatest men of the day. On the i'm
pulse OF the moment he. in connec-
ton with his musical associate, Jean
dgced to the public song entitled.
Schwartz, has written and intro
duced to the public song entitled,
They're ell Good American Names
The satire lies in the fact that nei-
Their Washington. Lincoln. Grant,
Mckinley. nor any Of our heroes are
mentioned. The first verse brings
in the name of all the Irish athletes.
the second verse includes all the
baseball players with Celtic names,
and the third verse, really the hit
OF the song--refers 10 that great
race. which, during the past thirty
years has made such wonderful
strides In every branch OF business.
In fine arts aud in all the professions.
This verse will appeal to everybody
that has ever been to New York and
noticed the changes in the business
section OF old broadway. When the
song was first sung IN New York II
actually received such an amount OF
applause that one OF the best vaude-
vile shows fairly came to a stand
still.
Maggie Cline. the Celtic wonder is
making the hit of her life with this
song. and II is worth going miles to
hear her sing It. In order 70 give an
idea Of the satire Of the song we
quote the last verse and chorus:

gaze at every sign.

More Than Two Hundred Men killed
In Similar Accidents.
PARIS, Sept 25.-The news of the ex-
plosion of the magazines of the battle
ship Liberte came as a stunning blow
to the French public and to naval Of
ficials. 1t is the climax of a long series
of disasters which have marked the his
tory of the French navy since the blow
ing up of the battleship lena on March
3, 1907. The accounts OF the disaster as
received here during the morning hours
varied widely. The most authentic dis
patches stated that the sinking came
nearly two hours after the discovery of
fire in the forward hold. Another ac-
count said that the ship broke in half
from the force of the explosions and
sank twenty minutes later. According to
this version the battleship afterwards re-
appeared at the surface for a time, a
grim carcass of iron, surrounded by a
tangled mass OF wreckage.
Estimates of the number Of dead vary
from $50 to 500.
The minister of marine, NJ. Delcasse,
received the members of the press this
afternoon and talked to them about the
catastrophe. He was greatly distressed
and spoke with emotion of the event
coming so soon after the splendid naval
review.
The minister had before him many
official kilograms from Toulon, but he
was unable to estimate accurately the
loss of life. The ship had III officers and
men, of whom 40 were ashore on leave
Two hundred and seventy-four others
have been accounted for. leaving 303
missing besides some losses among the
men of the other ships.
In considering the possible causes Of
the explosion, NJ. Delcasse excluded that

the magazines were kept at a moderate

children are born in this country every
year, Judge Lindsay told the delegates
that 10000 children annually are brought
into the courts as dependent and de-
lmquent, and declared his belief that the
duty of the national legislature was to
enact bill providing for the establish
ment of children's bureau In the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor.

what analogous bureau dealing with the
welfare of the child life of the nation il

The Judge pointed out that the yarious
activities that have grown out of the
cry OF back TO the soiI' to promote
the pleasure, advantages and oppor-
tunities Of farm life have not checked the
onward march TO the cities.
Unless some new and unexpected
