Death of Mrs. Ellen E. L. Giyens.

This community was shocked We'd
nesday morning by the receipt of a
telegram from Boise announcing the
death of Mrs. Ellen Givens at that point
from an attack of acute appendicitis.
Mrs. Givens left Orofino last week TO
attend meeting OF the State Fedora
ton of WOmen's clubs of which she was
an active member and the announce
ment of her death was the first intima-
ton her friends had of her illness. AL
ways OF delicate health, her constitu-
ton seems not to have been able to
stand the strain of a severe sickness
and life full Of love and friendship for
all humanity has paid the price of living
and gone to join the innumerable cara
van which moves to that mysterious
realm where each shall take his cham
ber in the silent halls of death. 1t was
the writer's good fortune to have en-
joyed her friendship, to have conversed
with her many times on the manifold
destinies of life, and to have been able
to profit largely by her broad reasoning
and liberal views on the present and
her high hopes for the future. A con-
stant reader and great student of all
that affects modern civilization and the
human race, she strove always to do
the thing practical that best would
serve the end. That she succeeded
along the lines of daily conduct mapped
out by her can best be attested by the
universal love and esteem with which
her friends regarded her in life and by
their great sorrow at her untimely
death. A sorrow that to all who knew
her intimately will be frightened by
the thought of high hopes Of a future
existence, where somewhere, somehow,
We shall live again.
'Oh friend, my bosom said
All things through the e take nobler form
And look beyond the EARTH
The mill round of our fate appears
A path in thy worth"

Star liner Titanic hurled had herself
against an iceberg last Sunday night
Disfigured by calamity and misery and
oppressed by awful sorrow, the women
and children and the few men who es-
capped from the worlds greatest ma
rine disaster were in better physical
condition than the most optimistic had
hoped for.
Out of the great company that wait
ed for hours in the bitter cold among
the grinding bergs, many of them be-
ing thinly clad, many bruised and hurt
by the collision which destroyed the
ship, few needed the ministrations of
physicians when they came out in
sight of the vast crowd that had been
waiting in almost unbearable uncer-
tainty.
Many, it is true, were weak and
nervous and historical from an expert.
ence that had left the world void and
empty for them. But-and thousands
thanked God for it as they watched
the majority of the saddened, bereav-
ed company-were well in body.
Only one of the Titanic's survivors
died when the Carpathia was driving
through fogs and storms to this port.
-Four OF the Titanics people had per.
ished trying TO get aboard the Car.
lpathia, and another Titanic passen.
ger lost his life by the overturning
of boat.
One woman, a second cabin passen-
ger who was landed, was suffering
from a broken arm. But the general
condition of the hundreds so dramati-
cally saved from death was a cause
OF inexplicable pleasure to the thou
sands who saw them land. There was
no need, as it turned out, for the min
listers of death.

their people passed in an accident that
seemed like an insane vision of the
night. Their faces were swollen with
weeping. They had drunk as deeply OF
sorrow as is ever given to human
kind. Some walked unseeing in kind
of dreadful somnambulism OF despair.
Saw officer Shoot Two Men.
1t was with difficulty that the
tongues of many were loosened TO
speak of the scenes OF agony and fear
that fell over the Titanic's peaceful
company when it became swiftly
known that the ship must go down,
Some told haltingly, with dread still
frozen in their eyes, of men who
strove and struggled against women
for the lifeboats and of officers shoot
ing them down. One woman saw an
officer shoot two men, she said, and
had stood with drawn pistols while
the women and children were being
guided into the boats.
No one seemed to know of the exact
fate of the Titanics captain, e j..
Smith. There was story that he had
committed suicide, but the Carpathia's
passengers did not know that it was
true. Many of them had heard shots
fired. They believed some of the fir
ing was done TO warn back steerage
passengers. For the Titanic's officers
and crew the rescued seemed to have
nothing but praise. These men acted
calmly and coolly in the face of Ger

was brought by the rescued.
Within the pier shed were hundreds
who had the keenest personal interest
in the survivors. Young Vincent AS

mobile for Mrs. John Jacob Aston, and
still hopeful that by some chance good
news would be given of his father.
