The Steamer That Might Have Saved
Hundreds of Lives from the Titanic
Disaster, Passed by the Other
Side.

Washington, April 24-With succor
only five miles away the Titanic slid
into its watery grave carrying with it
more than 1900 of its passengers and
crew while an unidentified steamer
that might have saved all failed or re-
fused to the frantic signals flash
ed TO it for aid This phase of the
tragic disaster was brought out yes
terday before the Senate investigating
committee when J. B. Boxhall, fourth
officer of the Titanic, told of his un-
successful attempts to attract the
strangers attention.
This ship, according to BoXhall,
could not have been more than five
miles away, and was steaming toward
the Titanic. So close was it that from
the bridge BoXhall plainly saw it's
masthead lights and then it's red side
light
Both with rockets and with the
Morse electric signal did the young
officer hail the stranger. Capt. Smith
and several others in the vicinity OF
the bridge declared at the time their
belief that the vessel had seen them
and was signalling in reply.
Boxhall failed to see the reply sig
nails, however, and in any case the
steamer kept on its course obliquely
past the Titanic without extending aid

THE '.MOVIES"

The last weeks program was good ana
this weeks is keeping good the reputation
of the past.
The recent comedies have been OF
exceptionally high order and equally so
the serio-comedies. Among the first was
'Bob's'' comic attempt to entertain at
dinner in separate apartments, two lady
friends at once His bribing the walters
to have himself successively called away
from both, was real funny. But so far
from being a distTessful assault upon
Bobs digestive powers, his task 10 eat
his way through two full course dinners
at one time, it was rather the other way,
for while each of his fair inamoratas was
tightening her bodice with the good
things at either table, poor Bob was
getting thin from anxiety and the ex-
ercise Of hopping up every third
mouthful aud racing over to the other
table-thanks TO which he didn't get
mure than half u cal between the two.
And then when he had packed lady No.
nff and settled down fur Il good time with
No. 2, 20 be caught after all, and get the
cold shoulder from bOthl BOb's
gAstronumi: feat reminds H. OF former
citizen of MiddletowU, whose alimehiarV
capacity was 30 large that he boarded at
both hotels, and successfully break
tasted, dined aud supped at each. So
Bob's attempt to put two full course
dImnerr umds: his belt, was not an utter
violation of the probabilities.
Again, the melOdrama of the sailor
boys love affair with his delicious
miranda" WHO vexed him with her
coquetrles, was far above the usual. The
love scenes were more natural. and those
showing Miranda attIred in Ulack with
her dirheveled hair streaming to the
wind, seated disconsolate by the sea,
mourning her supposedly dead sailor
lad, and where, too, she sadly gives ''the
other fellow" tfe mitten, and her after
meeting with ''her Jimmy" were
naturally acted.
But Cinderella was the "hit" on Mon
day night. This we'll known fairy tale
WAS staged in all of its minutest detail,
gorgeously, sumptuousIy, both in the
costly medieval court dresses of the
characters, and in the richly furnished
apartments, with all their trappiDgs of
royalty. Some of the scenes we're really
beautiful Illustrations of tableaux yivants,
e. z. the scene where a dozen or more
handsome female figures, elegantly
attired, were shown standing on the high
steps of an ornately carved palace stair
way, observing the first meeting of the
Young prince and the lovely Cinderella.
Hhe upward perspective of the receding
groups, seen from the rich architectural
background, was very striking. Miss
raliaferro acted her part wel--but OIL
those Cinderella ''tootsies" of hers!
shattered forever is the romance of our
childhood, that Cinderella wore tiny
No. rs Fives or SKIES, ii they were an
inch! Why, it looked ike small model
OF gunboat, the tiny (?) white slipper
did, when the prince held it in his hand
right under the limelight! And then,
Cindertlia's smIle-almo-t see it behind
ner back But perhaps those skinny,
oroomstick arms, Of hers were because
poor Cinderella wasn't allowed enough
grub by her wicked sisters.
But 10 matter. it was beautiful sight,
ovel, drau attic, and not wanting in
humor, and spectacular above all things
else.

A Sad Death

On Tuesday morn1ug auuut IL O'Clock,
Edward NJ. Manlove, a son OF Mr.. aud
Mrs Edward w .Manlove, one OF our lead
ing farmers near Middletown, died at the
residence of his parents after a lingering
illness of several months from blood pol
soning. The young man while having a
gathering of some sort on his hand applied
some salve to a horse suffering from some
form of skin disease and it is thought at
that time contracted the contagion which
finally resulted i'll his death. Great SYM
pathy is felt for the uutimely death Of the
young farmer who was only % years old,
and the only son of his parents, the other
six children being daughters. Mr.. Man
love was fine athlete, having played in
the local base ball team for several years
He was highly esteemed by everybody
and was to have been married last Christ
mas to an estimabe young lady near here.
Rev. Vaughan S. Collins officiated at
the funeral services which were held
from the residence of his parents on Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, interment
being made in Forest Cemetery.
