" BOAT BEING UNSUITABLE.

Paris, April 19.-Three Frenchssur-
viyors of the Titanic. Fernand Le-
mont, Pierre Merechal, son Of the
we'll known French admiral and Paul
'Chevre, the sculptor, jointly catied to
the Matin a graphic narrative c. the
disaster to the Titanic, in which they
repeatedly insisted that more lives
could he saved II the passengers had
not Fad such logged faith that the
Titanic was unsuitable. Several boats
they declare, could have carried double
the number.
The three Frenchmen say they were
playing bridge with Mr.. Smith of
Philadelphia, when great crunching
mass of Ice packed up against the
port holes. AS they rushed on deck
there was much confusion but this
quickly died down. One of the officers
lien questioned by woman oassen.
Z ger humorously replied, do not be
afraid; we are merely cutting Whale
in two" Presently the. captain appear
ed to become somewhat nervous and
ordered all to put on their life pre-
servers. The boats were then lower
ed, but only few people stirred and
several of the boats put of half emp
ty one with only fifteen persons in 1t.
When the Frenchmen's boat rowed
or for half mile the Titanic present
ed a fairy-Hke picture illuminated
from stem to stern.
Then suddenly lights began to go
out and the stem reared high in the
air. An immense fclamor rose on all
sides and during an hour anguisked
cries rang out. 1t was, says the nara
tors, Like a great chorus chanting a
refrain of death with wild obstillacy.D
Sometimes the cries died out and then
the tragic chorus began again more
terrible and more despairingly.

TAFT TRIBUTE :
TO MAJOR BUTT
PRESIDENT SURE HIS MILITARY
AIDE HAS DIED. SOLDIERS
DEATH.

Washington, D. c., April 20.-With
all hope for the rescue of Major Butt
abandoned, President Taft has issued
a statement showing the high regard
in which he held him and his belief
that he died as a man should die in
the face of such disaster as that to
the Titanic. The president said:
Major Archie Butt was my military
aide. He was like member of my
family and feel his loss as if he had
been a younger brother. The chief
trait of his character was loyalty to
his ideals, his cloth and his friends.
Hls character was a simple one in the
sense that he was incapable Of in
trigue or insincerity.
Every Inch Soldier.
4. He was gentle and considerable to
every one, high and low. He never,
lost, under any conditions, his sense
OF proper regard to what he consid
cred the respect due to constituted
authority. He was an earnest member
of the Episcopal church and loved
that communion. He was a soldier,
every inch of him, a most competent
and successful quartermaster and a
devotee of his profession.
AFTER heard that part of the
ships company had gone down I
gave up hope for the rescue of Major
Butt, unless by accident knew that
he would certainly remain on the
ships deck until every duty had been
performed and every sacrifice made
that properly fell on one charged, as
he would feel himself charged, with
responsibility for the rescue Of others.
'He leaves the widest circle of
friends whose memory of him Is
sweet in every particular"

THERESA.-(No. 49,

The quarrel between English and
German authorities as to the proper
meaning of Theresa Is perhaps not
worth the trouble. They first trans
late the word "the reaper" the Ger
man designation Is 1.-THE hunter"
Probably in olden times both meant
the same. At any rate there was
more hunting than harvesting and in
asmuch as Theresa signifies for pro-
WIDER, what more do you want IN
these hard times?
The correct English form is Their
esa. Terry and Tracy are popular pet
names. The influx of Italians brought
us the pretty Latin diminutives Teres-
ina and Teresita, the first Italian, the
other Spanish.
French: Theresa pronounce the
last syllable long and the "e" like our
"e.") Diminutives: Trerezon and Zon.
The latter is pronounced like our
song" pretty name for a musical
child.
The Germans use Theresa, pro-
nounce every letter. Threscha is q
low German form. Pronounce the
"sch" as If there was no &C." REESE
and Resi- are popular German diminu-
tives.
Teresa of Avila, Spain, lives in the
history of the Catholic church as "St.
Teresa OF Jesus" She was born in
1915 and early in life became a sister
OF Barefoot Carmeltites. Her auto
biography and other works of her
were translated into all languages

most Of the students come from North

The standard of scholarship is the

when students desire to complete their
college work in Columbia, Harvard, or
other of the great colleges they pass
without difficulty into the advance
class.
Full courses in the different depart
ments Of college work are given lead
ing to the degrees of B. A. and B. s.
There is also a preparatory course
which gives a general education or
prepares for college. In addition to
the flourishing school of music and
dramatic art, there has been added an
art department with instruction in all
branches of drawing, painting, his
tory of art, etc.
There is a constant effort to make
the atmosphere Of the college relig-

will, of reverence, temperance, purity
and righteousness, into all the activ-
tiles of the college life. Many preach.

At the commencement season in
June Fargo college, one Of our fore
most institutions for higher education
will celebrate it's twenty-fifth ami
versary. 1t was organized in the pio-
neer days by a group of Congrega-
tional ministers who gave from their
salaries to the point Of sacrifice in
order that a christian college might
be established in the Red river valley.
The college occupies more than ten
acres in the heart of the city of Fargo.
1t has three large buildings including
Carnegie library, one of the finest
buildings of the kind in the state
the cornerstone of which was laid by
Colonel Roosevelt Sept, 5, 1910. The
musical department. which has twelve
teachers and $50 pupils and the stand
ard of which is equal to the leading
schools Of the west occupies the entire
third floor of Stones Music house.
The faculty consists Of twenty
eight trained instructors, holding de-
grees from thirteen colleges and unl-
versities. Among the institutions that
have had a part in training these schol-
arly teachers the following may be
named: Harvard, Chicago university,
University of Minnesota, oberlin,
Beloit, Syracuse university, Oxford,
Leipsic, Williams, wellesley, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, College of Music
Cincinnati, New England conservatory
and Pratt institute.
The enrolment has been increasing
very fast during the last three years
and now numbers in all departments
nearly 500 students. Several states

college will be placed upon a firm
financial foundation. There has been
no time during the history of the col
lege when there was so much enthusi-
asm for the institution on the part of
the student body when the standards
for scholarship were as high, when the
prospects for the future were as bright
as at the present time. 1t is the hope
and expectation of the faculty and
trustees that the commencement exer-
cises in June celebrating the >nd OF
the first quarter century will prove to
be of exceptional interest and bring
to our city some Of the great educat-
ors of the country.
Fargo college has won for itself a
place in the front rank of western col
leges.

cHILsoN CONCRETE SUPPLY
COMPANY.

One Of the important manufacturing In
dustries Of Fargo is that which has to do
with the making of concrete stone for
building purposes.
For some years this Industry has been
confined to the making of various blocks of
different sizes and shapes from sand,
gravel and cement mixed In q more or less
dry state n tamped into forms by hand
and In some cases by machine campers
which results In q stone product OF rather
brittle character and not sufficiently I'm
peryious to air and moisture to afford en-
ttrely satisfactory results from the build
er's viewpoint.
This dificuIty is to be eliminated only by
the pouring OF soft concrete properly mix
ed Into a strong steel press and subjecting
the forming stone to great pressure suf-
fcient to force the aggregates of which
the stone Is to be composed into the clos
est possible relation and so as to turn out
a finished stone as nearly identical In tex
ture as the natural stone of which 1t is
intended to be an imitation.
The Chilson Concrete Supply Co. is the
only manufacturing concern in Fargo or
vicinity employing this process and the
quality of the stone made by it is highly
interesting to all who visit its plant and
are permitted to witness the forming of
raw materials into building stones Of de-
pendable character, each and every stone
made being subjected to an hydraulic
pressure Of 100000 pounds and so faced as
to closely simulate granite, marble or 9th
er substantial and handsome building
blocks. A visit to this excellent plant will
well repay the intending builder.
