HOW THEY DIED.

covered in the shadow which the aW-
full Titanic disaster has cast upon the
civilized world, and add our feeble
tribute of respect to the memory of
those who died the death of heroes.
Like the purple and golden tints of
a setting sun upon heavy cloud, the
gallantry of the men who enforced the
unwritten law of the sea, women and
children first" stands out in bold and
beautiful relief against the dark back
ground of the tragedy.
Nelson at Trafalgar presented no
finer picture than did Capt. Smith, as,
standing upon his sinking ship, he
admonished his crew: "Be British,
my men!" The true nobility of those
words, in that crisis, when all the is
sues Of life and death were crowding
thick and fast around, entities them
to place with that other exhortation,
treasured in Englandis history: eng
land expects every man to do his
duty" It is reported that Capt.
Smith, after being washed overheard,
rescued a struggling child, and then
swan back to die at his post of duty.
He went down with his ship. an Off
Ger unafraid.
John Jacob Astor, with his millions,
and the other wealthy men aboard,
forgot the rank that wealth bestows
in a commercial age, and showed the
stuff of which true Americans and
true Britons are made.
Major Archie Butt, military aide to
President Taft, as the president has
well said, died on deck as soldier
should. 1t is a fine story of heroism
the rescued women relate in telling of
Major Butt. They picture him aiding
the women and children into the life
boats, and hurting back, with his man
ly strength, a panic-stricken man who
broke the discipline of the ship in the
effort to force his way ahead of the
women. Having done all he could he
took his place upon the deck, spoke
his courteous adieus to those whom he
had helped to save, and faced death
with a smile-a figure looming large
and heroic in that vast expanse where
he was soon to find his grave-a SOL
der to the last, and an honor to the
American army.
The love of some of the women for
their husbands was greater than their
fear of death, and some of them re-
fused to leave, preferring to enter the
great unknown with their loved ones.
There were many others, probably,
who showed an unassuming courage
equal to that of Capt. Smith and Maj.
Butt and Col. Astor-some of them
unknown outside their family circle,
but to whom life was just as sweet
and the agony of separation just as
great.
When the annals of the sea are re-
viewed in the years to come, the story
of the gallantry of the crew and the
passengers of the Titanic, who had
done what they could for others, and
then calmly awaited the entrance into
the Port of Missing Ships, while the
band played Nearer, My God, to
Thee" will make one of the most
glorious chapters.
The great epics of the past have
furnished nothing more thrilling.
Nothing finer has come down to US
from the days when chivalry bloomed
and knighthood was in flower.

Vancouver, Dec. 23-A Carnegie medal is to be presented to Captain Kerr, Of the steamer British Elm .pire, of the Northern Steamship Line. for his pluck in rescuing a seaman of the Princess Ena, on which the captain was then an of- ficer, two years ago.
 The vessel was lying at Skagway one evening when the boatswain' Magann, fell Into the waters Of Lynn Canal. It was a bitterly cold night, the thermometer being down to five degrees below freezing point and a biting wind blowing. Both men were almost frozen before they were got on deck.
 It was not long after that act Of bravery that Captain Kerr was the means of saving the life of another member of the crew while the steau' CT was lying at the Outer Wharf.
 The presentation of the medal will be made the next time the Brit ish Empire is in port at Vancouver.

London, Dec. 2S-The taking of the Greek fleet at TenedOs yester- day has caused a resumption of faith in the invincibility of their troops, and the Turks seem more than ever disposed to refuse to give up Adrianople territory as condi- tion of peace settlement.

FAIRBANKS POSTMASTER
 JUGGLES WITH COURT

In order that the machinery of the Fairbanks postoffice might not become clogged with red tape, sub poenas and official orders emanat. ing from the department oi justice some clever maneuvering and busi. ness science was practiced yesterday by the board of trustees of the Tan ana Club, the social organization of Fairbanks. Chauncey Boyer, post master of Fairbanks, holds the position of secretary of the club, He was advised recently by the mar shal that a subpoena had been is- sued from the district court of the Third division, demanding his pres ence at the Barnette and Hawkins trial in Valdez on December 2. He was ordered to bring with him the books and papers of the Panama Club of the month of January, 1911 when the bank failed.
 It would inconvenience Postmast- CT Boyer very greatly to be ordered on a trip to the coast during the Christmas season, so a plan was hit upon by which the postotfice depart ment could put one over on the other branch of Uncle Sam's busi- ness.
 A meeting of the board of trus- tees was called, and at it Postmast- CT Boyer handed in his resignation. The resignation was accepted and Hunter Fl. Scales was appointed in his stead. Then telegrams were sent to Valdez asking whether the subpoena applied to the present secretary. The reply said that the present secretary was the one wanted, as he had custody of the books and records.
 So Postmaster Boyer was excused from obeyiug the subpoena and he can now rest assured that he will not have to make the long 45O- mile trip to Valdez in the dead of winter
 Mir. Scales was secretary of the club during the term previous to Postmaster Boyer's. As he was planning to leave shortly for the states for a visit, the change in off cers is appreciated by him.
 After he has testified at the trial he will tender his resignation from the position, and Postmaster Boyer will be re-appointed.-Fairbanks Times.

 The recent strike among the fish ermen, and the apparent cOmbin- ation among the buyers to keep down the purchasing price of fish, together with the bOycotting of Se- attle dealers by many people engag- ed in the fish trade, has caused a general comment in the city and forced the action against the so- called trust.
