BRINGS IN 745 OF TITANlC'S PAS
SENGERS-~t,726 LIVES
WERE LOST.

God, to Thee"

New York, April 1S.-The Cunard
liner Carpathia, a ship of gloom ana
succor, came into New York tonight
with first news direct from the great
White Star liner Titanic, which sank
off the Grand Banks of New Found
land early Monday morning last. The
great liner went down with her band
playing, taking with her to death all
but 745 of her human cargo of 2,340
ouls. To this awful death list six per-
sons were ;.dded.
One died in the life boat which was
put off the liners side and five subse-
quently succumbed on the rescue ship
Carpathia. The list of missing STANDS
as previously stated and the total list
brought to port tonight by the Carpa-
thia is LOCI.
Survivors in the life boats huddled
in the darkness at safe distance from
the stricken ship and saw her go down.
As to the scene on board when the lin
err struck, accounts disagree. Some
maintain that comparative calm pre-
vailed, others say that wild disorder
broke out and there was maniacal
struggle for the life boats. That the
liner struck an ice berg as reported by
wireless was confirmed by the surviv-
ors.
Ripped from stem to engine room by
the great mass of ice she struck amid
ships, the Titanic's side was laid open
as if by a mighty can opener She
quickly listed to starboard and show
er of ice fell onto the forecastle deck.
Shortly before she sank she broke
in two aft the engine room and two
explosions were plainly heard by the
survivors adrift.

He Hoped So, Too.

Nellie Mccoy tells the story of an
advance agent of transforming
show that nearly closed every Satur-
day night, but rested over Sunday and
started in bright and fresh Monday
morning.
His mother was a Quaker, and when
he wrote that he was the business
manager in advance of the show, she
wrote him.
my Dear SOM am very sorry that
thou art In the show business, but |
am glad that thou art ahead of the
show! l trust that thou wilt always
stay ahead Of It,"

Five Chinese in First Boat.

New York, April 2O.-Among the
first life boats of the Titanic to be
picked up by the Carpathia were five
Cinnamon. Not a soul knew how
they got there. No one saw them get
into the boats. 1t is believed that
when the word was passed to man the
boats" the Cinnamon hid under a can
vas in boat and were lowered away,
while such men as Col. Aston, w. 7.
stead and Major Butt, and many other
prominent Americans, stood by.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance OF
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man, brain
and teeth are inyersely proportional
to efficiency. Increase Of cunning has
reduced the work Of the teeth, and the
demand of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders of d.
gestion show that the balance is un-
satisfactory.

BIOGRAPHICAL FICTION.
Literary Practice of Using Live PEG
pie in Books Dangerous.

PiG w SSNNS S@FfSSi SS@s
From The Chicago Record Herald:
In England another literary scandal
impends. Picking out the hero of a
novel from among ones friends has
reached the proportions of a popular
game, and a protest has been made to
the Publishers association against a
forthcoming novel which, it is said,
will reveal the private sorrows of one
of the greatest living novelists. Such
scandals make good advertising GER
tainly, but they also make a lot Of
worthy people decidedly uncomfort-
able.
In the interest of so-caIled realism
some English novelists-notably Mr..
Wells-have steered pretty close to the
wind of late. Art and morals get hope
lessly involved when a writer chooses
his models under the very eyes Of the
public and puts them into fiction with
no decent amplitude of disguise.
who's Who" in the world Of fiction
becomes a burning question, and the
author may be said to be playing with
fire. In order to enjoy some assur-
ance of living out their lives in
privacy, the offending authors friends
are obliged to ostracize him. The loss
is a double one; they lose his wit and
his powers of trenchant criticism; he
loses the opportunity of studying an
interesting social group. But of the
two, it is the author who suffers more.
Ethics and ~expediency apart, 1t IS
not easy to understand why a gifted
writer is willing to rely on extrinsic
appeals, such as a scandal, to sell the
book. He loses in the end, and his art
is almost sure to be Door art, revealing
the fact that his materials have not
been digested but hastily bolted.

The Criminal suffraasttss.

Providence Evening Bulletin: II
will be noticed that the militant wing
of the "votes for women" party has
taken a radical step forward and is
especially reprehensible if this abom-
Unable campaign can be proved.
At first it's destructive warfare was
confined to public to public property,
lately it has been attacking private
property. The result must be the
alienation of many persons who have
a~cquiesced in the comparatively in
nocuous assaults on Downing street
windows.
The theory of such rather mild at
tacks on the government premises
was that the ~suffragettes had beer
badly treated by his majesty's official
representatives and could officially re-
taliate. But the destruction of private
property, some of it highly valuable
property, is obviously i~ndefensible.
If these militant English females
who are believed to have violated the
sanctity Of private correspondence are
caught in the act they certainly ought
to be punished to the limit. Unless an
example is made of them they may
set out to wreck railway trains and
blow up private residences as the next
and logical item in their shameful
programme.
