New York. April 25.-Two hundred

Titanic disaster have been picked up
at sea by the cable steamer Mackay
Bennett and are being taken to Hall.

that the majority of the bodies win

Captain Lardner Of the Mackay Ben
nett sends words through the Cape
Race wireless station that the steam
er has been drifting in fog since
noon yesterday. He does not indicate
when he will reach Halifax. Bodies
are floating upon the sea many miles
west in latitude 41.35 north and longi.
ture 4s.37 west, says the wireless.
The following dispatch was receiv
ed today by the White Star line
through the Cape Race wireless sta
ton:
Drifting in dense fog since noon
yesterday. Total picked up 2O5. We
brought away all embalming fluid
to be had in Halifax, enough for 20.
With weeks fine weather l think
we would pretty we'll clean up relies
of the disaster. 1t is my opinion that
the majority never will come to the
surface"
Death was instantaneous
Another wireless dispatch from the
Mackay Bennett received today
states:
Bodies are in latitude 47.35 north,
longitude 4837 west extending many
miles east and west. Mail ships
should give this wide berth. Med
ical opinion is death had been in
Simultaneous in all cases, owing to
pressure when the bodies were drawn
down in the vortex"
The fact that the Mackay Bennett
has been able to communicate By
wireless with the Cape Race station
shows that she is laying her course
toward Halifax, as she was without
the zone of the Cape Race station for
several days and was only able to
get in touch with the land through
other steamers relaying her messages.

Mackay Bennett is the belief of White

TAITERED BATTLE FLAGS
GREETED BY HOUSE
Members Cheer as They Vote to Pre-

Flag Shown.

Washington.-Not in a long time
ras such genuine patriotic enthusiasm
been seen in the House of Represen-
tatiyes as when the bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the repair, prcserva-
ton and exhibition of the 1876 ttoGh
flags which record the history Of the
American navy from 1912 TO the pres
ent time was under discussion.
The bill was passed unanimously.
while members, both Democratic and
Republican, cheered and banged their
desks and openly wiped the tears from
their cheeks.
The first demonstration occurred
when a great square ensign Of navy
blue with yellOwed white letters strag-
Cling across it was thrown over a big
easel placed in the well in front of the
Speakers desk.

There was silence for a moment and
then every member of the House,
young and Old Republican and Demo
crat, jumped to his feet, making all
the noise possible. It wasn't the sort

HAVING A PURPOSE.

We can well imagine times when the
necessity for applying ourselves is
very real and very stern: when we
can derive but little comfort from our
position, and when we are likely TO
pose as martyrs rather than as sol
diers ready for the fray. But all that
comes before the light OF reason ana
understanding breaks through the
darkness and makes things palmer
than they have ever been. 1t is good
to have an individual purpose In HE;
what that purpose is lies within our
own breasts We are not all nodded
upon the same pattern. says the
Charleston News and Courier In
deed, 1t is said that there are no two
natures alike and that God In his
goodness decreed that such should be
the case. However. that may be- we
are all in fact his children and are
placed in this world for the one great,
controlling reason OF working out our
own salvation. How we are to do this
rests with each one OF us personally
and just to the extent OF our realiza
tion and understanding Of that sacred
trust will we make our efforts tell.
To be prepared at all times as far
as it lies within our power is not the
least important of the means at our
command, while to leave the future to
take care OF itself and TO trust 10 the
spur Of necessity for obtaining our
most vital results, however helpful
such results may be on occasion, is
only tempting Providence unneces'
sarily.

How much of a mans income shold
be spent for rent? Benjamin G.
Marsh, OF New York, executive secre
tary OF the committee on congestion
of population, told the Citizenship
Glass Of the South Congregational
church of this city that no wage-earn'
er should pay more than 20 per cent.
of his income for rent, says the Boston
Globe. This is cutting the scale down,
as there is a saying that one-fourth OF
the income can be wisely devoted to
rent Perhaps conditions are chang.
ing and Mr.. Marsh is right. Onefifth
Of the income certainly leaves larger
margin to be devoted 10 the purchase
o. food, clothing and other necessities
and gives little chance TO save. But
It IS not always possible to find suit
able accommodations &C with a fifth OF
the income, nor with fourth for that
matter. Rent is not a luxury. but a
fixed charge, and II is not always what
man wants to pay or can afford to
pay, but what conditions compel him
to pay.

trifle in comparison with the evident
gorgeousness OF the ball as a whole.

1t is not clear from he annual po-

the part OF the police rather than any
material increase in gun toting AT
least, that suggests a pleasanter eX-
