"He was holding back men who were

First Woman of Titanic.
Mrs. Dickinson Bishop Of Detroit,
Mich. said: 81 was the first woman IN
the first boat. l was in the boat four
hours before being picked up by the
Carpathia. I was in bed at the time
the crash came and got up and dress
ed. 1 went back to bed upon being
assured that there was no danger. On
the deck, when reached it, there
was little or no panic.'
Told Ship Could Not Sink.
N. C. Chambers said that the Titanic
struck the iceberg head-on. The pas
sengers ran out, but being assured by
the officers that the ship could not
sink went back to their staterooms.
After about two hours the alarm was
sent out and the passengers started
to enter the lifeboats. Mr.. Chambers
said that there was nothing like .
panic at first, as all believed that there
were plenty of lifeboats to 60 around
Mrs. Astor Could Not Talk.
Pale, trembling, and apparently Ill.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor was one of the
first survivors Of the wreck to pass
down the Carpathia's gangplank.' She
stepped from the Carpathia wearing a
long black astrakhan coat, small
toque covered by blue chiffon veil.
and at her throat reposed large dia~
mond and pearl sunburst.

had passed through, and the loss OF

pany, when he left the Carpathia went
to tho Office Of the general agent on the
pier. There he received the newspaper
representatives and. after few pre-
nminary remarks, gave out type
written statement in which he said
that he was in the last starboard col
iapsible lifeboat when he left the ship.
He stated that he did not know what
speed the Titanic was going at whe2
she struck the iceberg, but the collision
was one of a glancing blow, and OF
Monday morning, between 10 and II
o'clock. he claims to have sent a wire

may said:

sion in words. I can only say that the

ployees. will do everything huma.ily

her husband, and when asked to say
something cried in heartbroken tones:
Il can't! l can't! l am unspeak-
ably Ill"
Mrs. Astor's mental suffering was
terrible, though physically she was not
much harmed. Physicians gave or
eers that neither she or her maid
should be permitted to talk about the
Titanic, and this rule was strictly OBJ
served. Nevertheless, before the order
had been given, she had told Vincent
Astor some Of her memories: She
thought she recalled seeing Colonel
Aston by her side, just before she got
into one of the boats. She imagined
he was safe, too, and it was only
when she was on the Carpathia that
she realized he was not among the
rescued.
Like most of the survivors, Mrs. AS
tor was too stunned at first to recall
any Of the incidents of the sinking
ship. Other passengers said that Mrs.
Astor displayed remarkable courage
during the days on the Carpathia,
walking about the decks and trying to
cheer up other survivors whose sorrow
seemed beyond relief.
Astor Made Light Of Danger.
Colonel Aston was walking the deck
at the time the Ntania struck the ice
berg" said William David. assistant
saloon steward on board the Carpa-
thia, in reciting incidents which had
been told to him by survivors.
He was approached by a frantic
waiter, l was told, and urged to put
on life belt. The waiter had several
life belts in his hand. Colonel Astor
waved him away.
"'Pooh,' he said, this is nothing!
There is no need of life BELTS AND

Band Played "Nearsr, My God, to Thee
Mrs. A. A. Dick, who was saved
with her husband, told the following
story:
"The boats lay in the vicinity of the
laundering vessel for about an hour.
No one believed she could go down.
We had been assured to this effect by
! the captain. But as she began to set
tie 1t was soon seen that she was
! about to go to the bottom, and if we
stayed near we would be drawn down
with her in the vortex.
1.-THE marine band on board did its
best to cheer up the waning hopes Of
the passengers. One or two airs were
struck up. 1t was spectacle that no
one will ever forget.
"Suddenly the band stopped. The.
leader moved his baton. In slow, SOL
emn tones the air, Nearer, My God, to
Thee was waited across the water tc
our ears.
1.-The band played the hymn con
dnuously until their instruments were
choked of by the swirling water that
closed about their heads as they went
to a hero's grave"

make me suffer more. There could be
nothing worse than the mental anguish
through which have passed since we
were rescued.
Jacques is dead, but he died like a
hero; that know. Three or four times
after the crash 1 rushed up to him and
clasped him in my arms and begged
him to get into one of the lifeboats.

RECENT DEATHS OF vERMoNTERs

Judge Levi G. Nichols died at the home
of his son-in-law in Essex Junction on
Wednesday at three o'clock after long
illness with Bright's disease. He had
been confined to his bed, however, only
two weeks. Mr. Nichols was born in
Jacksonville 10 years ago last October,
the son of Luke and Hannah Nichols.
When young man he went to Hol
liston, Mass, where he remained sew
eral years and there married Caroline
French 56 years ago last November.
They moved to Jacksonville. where he
engaged in the mercantile business. He
then went to Fairfax where he resided
four years and from there moved 70
Westford, where he lived q years. He
held nearly every town office and for
some years was the postmaster. From
1890 to 1894 he was assistant Judge of
Chittenden county. Twelve years ago
last fall he and Mrs Nichols went to
Essex Junction to reside with their
daughter. Judge Nichols had been Ma
son for 45 years. He was a member
of Warner lodge in Cambridge and then
became a charter member of Ethan Allen
lodge of Essex Junction. Two children
were born to Mr. and Mrs. Nichols. a
son. Fred, who died 10 years ago, and n
daughter, Mrs. Irving +. Huntley, who

SHELTER FUMES UTILIZED.
Manufacture of Acid Phosphate Cheap
ened Through Use of Gases From the
Shelters at Ducktown, Tenn.

The revival of agriculture in the South
owes much to the natural deposits Of
phosphate which are found in Florida
South Carolina, and Tennessee. Expert,
ments have shown that raw rock phos-
phate viii stimulate plant growth but
the process is slow and the fertilizing
element may be made available more
quickly by treating the rock with sui
phuric acid
On this account the successful manu-
facture of fertilizer from rock phosphate
depends in great measure ON a cheap
source Of sulphuric acid. A plentiful
and cheap supply of sulphurie acid
means a cheaper and a more readily
available supply of fertilizer. The great
est demand for sulphuric acid is in the
fertilizer industry, the greatest supply
of raw materials for this industry IS
found in the southern states, and the
greatest demand for fertilizers also eN-
lists in this same section. Few indus
tries, therefore, are of more Importance
to the South than the manufacture of
sulphuric acid.

the copper companies at that place. Ac-
cording to +. b. Laney. of the United
States geological survey, who describes
these plants in an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the United States
for 1911" they have been very success
full. They use what was. until their
establishment, not only wholly a waste
product of the smelters but also a men
ace to all the adjacent country. These
acid plants have therefore produced at
leasts three desirable results by furnish
ing a large supply OF acid where it is
most needed, by rendering valuable large
supplies of sulphur hitherto worthless
and by relieving the region of the nuis-
ance of the smelter, thus making it pos
sible to continue operating the mines
and at the same time TO cultivate the
surrounding lands.

can be obtained by applying to the Di-
rector of the Geological Survey at Wash
