BOSTON. Mass, Jan. 1s.-Death In

death penalty, failed to urge the exc

The Hamburg-American liner Bethania
is aground on the shore of Chesapeake
Bay, thirty miles inside the Virginia
Capes. The revenue cutters Onondaga
and Apache are standing by, and expect
to pull the vessel off, comparatively un-
damaged on the high tide today.
The Bethania Is one Of the biggest
freight and passenger vessels running
into Chesapeake Bay. Her value is
fixed by the Lloyds Agency as 81, 800, ,O0O
Details Of passengers and cargo have
not been received at revenue cutter
headquarters. The Bethania Is 4S5 feet
long and has a tonnage Of 5000

Shows Use of TWine
In the Mail Service

Enough jute twine is used by the post
offices of tho United States to weave
q net six and one-half miles wide, en-
tirely around the world.
This startling fact is disclosed in the
annual report Of J. A. Holmes. pur-
chasing agent Of the Postoffice Depart
ment.
Two billion yards Of this twine is
used every year. Two billion yards is
approximately 1,137,0OO miles of twinc.
or enough to completely wrap up the
earth many times over. The globe has
a circumference Of but 5000 miles. By
easy arithmetic it would take $3.50
wraps around the earth to run tho
twine to the end.
Bids for the printing and furnishing
of money order forms will be readver-
tised, because Mr.. Holmes and other
officials Of the department believe that
safety paper, with less rag con-
tent would be satisfactory. Such a
paper WILL, it is believed, result in a
saving to the department of $4,000.
Nearly S4.0O0.00O was spent by the
Postoffice Department for supplies un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Holmes, in
the past year.
