A literary lady at a society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma

made on the origin OF mankind. the
lady found her temper tried beyond

CAPTAIN SMITH DEAD.
Was Holding a Child i'm His Arms
When He Leaped Into the Sea.

In a New York telegram it is re-
lated how Captain Smith died. Two
little children had taken refuge on
the bridge of the Titanic and re
mained by the side of Captain Smith
until that portion Of the big ship
had been swept by water. He deter
mined on trying to save one of the
children. Holding under his arm the
little girl who had entrusted her life
to his care, he leaped into the sea
but failed to reach the lifeboat. He
died a sailors death and the little
girl perished with him.
A fireman, James Mccain, tried to
reach the ifehoat with the other
child which he was compelled to
abandon in order to save himself.
Captain Smiths last words in ad-
dressing his men, as reported by
Fireman McCann, were shouted:
''Well. boys, it's every man for him

of the heroic, but while this over

While this disturbance with its

of this continent fine crop weather

of this continent fine crop weather
will prevail during this storm wave

Decision in Favor OF Allen Manufac-
turing Company.

In the suit of Mrs. Bessie Hall vs..
Allen Manufacturing Company, the
decision by Judge Sutherlin is in
favor of the defendant. The suit is
for $4,000 for injuries received by
Mrs. Halls husband when in the
employ of the company. In the trial
by jury there was rendered ver-
dict for $500, which was nullified
when on polling the jury only eight
favored the verdict. The second
trial was without jury. The plain
tiff was represented by Bentley &
Butler and the Allen Manufacturing
company by E. P. Mills. An appeal is
probable.

Commander Smith.
Of all the heroes of this blood

duty calm and serene the command
er fthe Titanic, Capt. E. J. Smith.
From the moment of the col
Iision, followed by the blowing
up of the boilers, which added
to the fatality of the disaster,
Captain Smith realized his predica-
ment. Had he and his officers and
crew been towards, they could have
escaped, but they remained true and
steadfast to their duty, obeying ev-
cry command resdily. 1t was tAe
calmness and the fearlessness of the
commander which inspired Ais sub
ordinates, the crew and the passen-
gers. When the accident occurred
he was obeying orders and therefore
he could not be held responsible.
