Mere age by itself proves
nothing. But age. backed up
by the record. does.
Gorham's was founded 81
years ago. 1t has been max

drew Jackson was President
then. Lincoln hadn been
heard of. We had only about
100000 population in all
only about twice as much as
we have within 45 minutes

day.
How many men do you
know 80 years old! DO YOU
know. off hand. half a dozen
business firms as old as that!
Survival from "Old HEX
ory's" day. on through the
Civil War. through the panlcs
of 10. '93 and 'O7, down to the
present is an achievement.
But Gorhams has done
more than survive. 1t has be-
come the greatest silverware
shop in the world. 1t has
moved ahead with the country.
In many respects it has gone
ahead of the country.
1t is this company. the best

about Gorhams which | am

most surprised me. was that
Gorhams is the great Amer

men of all purses may buy.

Gorham's is distinctly a
great American store. 1t was
founded by a typical Amerl-

has always been conducted by
Americans. Its vast army of
artisans i'm the factory at

PANIC CAUSED
DEATHS Of MANY
Of PASSENGERS
Capt. CauSSin of the LaTour-
aine Tells of Going to the
Rescue of the People on the
VOIturna.

HAVRE, oct. 15.-The La Tour
aine Of the French line, second Of
the rescue ships which figured in the
Folturno disaster TO reach port. ar
rived at HaVre Tuesday morning. The
La Touraine had AZ survivors of the
disaster on board
On the forward deck of the La
Touralne when she arrived at the
quay was a group of eight children
from three 10 II years old, who had
been rescued from the Volturno and
whose parents either had persisted
or were aboard other reScuing
steamers. The children had been
made much OF since they were
brought on board the Touraine from
the burning Volturno.
What followed after the arrival of
La Touraine in the vicinity of the
Volturno is related in detailed re-
port sent by Capt. CausSin TO the
French transatlantic Co. He says:
The forward part of the Volturno
looked to me like an inCandescent
brazier. AS the sea was beginning to
moderate, we began putting out boats
but the opinion OF all my officers was
against the lowering of life boats. !
sent out a whale boat however.
The VolturnO at this time had her
stern in the air while forward and
amidships she was nothing but
great torch.
Lieut.. Izenic reported that upon
his arrival at the side of Volturno
that vessel presented a frightful spec
tacle. She was blazing from her bows
to amidships and plunging and roll
ing. Crew and passengers had been
driven by the flames and smoke to
the extreme after part of the vessel
where they uttered necessarily cries
of terror. The whaleboat stood off,
it's crew calling to the passengers to
jump into the sea when they would
be taken on board. None, however,
would jump until the Touraine's
whalebOat was thrown by a gigantic
wave against the Nolturno's side. In
stantly a number jumped or slid
down ropes into the boat Two who
had jumped for the boat, disappeared
under the side of the Volturno as
she rolled. One man landed on a
sailor in the whaleboat and injured
him.
Happily Lieut.. Izenic was able to
