into me violently. asked who it
was. 1t was Private William An
thony, the orderly at the cabin
door. He said something apollo
getic and reported that the ship
had been blown up and was sink
in. He was directed to go out on
the quarterback. and l followed
him. He hung near me with un-
tagging zeal and watchfulness
that night until the ship was
abandoned.
l stood for moment on the
starboard side of the main deck
forward of the after-superstruc-
ture, looking toward the immense
dark mass that loomed up amid
ships, but could see nothing dis
tinctly.
Fire broke out in the mass
amidships. Orders were given to
flood the forward magazine, but
the forward part of the ship was
found to be under water. In
quiry as to the after-magazines
and the guncotton magazine in
the after-part of the ship showed
a like condition of those COM
partments, as reported by those
who had escaped from the ward
room and junior officers quar-
ters. In the captains spare pam
try in the after-superstructure
there was spare ammunition. IT
was seen that this would soon be
submerged, and that precautions
in respect to the magazines were
unnecessary.
The great loss of life was not
then fully realized.
It was o hard blow to be
obliged to leave the Maine; none
of us desired to leave while any
part of her poop remained above
water.
After the first muster that
night it was reported to me that
only "a or So survivors could be
found. Later summary shows
that only .16 of the crew were
wholly unhurt. Two officers and
$50 men were killed. One hun
dred and two people were saved
but later eight of these died a
Havana.

PICNIC CROWD
ESCAPES DEATH
In DOCK SMASH

Twenty-Five. persons, including
a number of children, narrowly
escaped death or serious injury at
8 o'clock this morning when the
heavy dock slip of the Tacoma
municipal doc6 gave way, drop
ping nearly 10 feet before emers-
ency chains held it. Only one
side of the slip gave way. Tie
lower end dropped noisily to-
wards the water, and the upper
end pivoted into the air, throw
ing the entire mass of 20 per-
sons into heap at the water end
of the slip. One man received a
cut finger, but no one else was
reported injured.
The accident occurred because
of faulty construction of the
framework supporting mechanism
for raising and lowering the slip.
Patrolman Swan Nelson, station
ed at the outer end of the slip,
was unable to hold back a huge
crowd boarding the steamer At
Atlanta for a Norwegian picnic
at Des Moines. The unusual
weight and the faulty mechanism
caused a shaft on the upper frame
word to jump from Its socket and
throw the gearing out of connec-
tion.
That several persons were not
injured seriously or at least
thrown into the bay is miracul-
GUS. Heavy beams supporting
the mechanism of the slip were
spread apart several inches. and
their ends show that they were

THE generous approval ofthe project to
purchase, for state park purposes, the
Cook tract at Cooksburg, given by the
press and public of the s tate, leads To the
hope that the Legislature will authorize
the purchase at the present session. We
feel that there IL little that we can add to
what we have already said at various
times concerning the wisdom of such
purchase. Having stood beneath the arch.
ing boughs of the virgin pines which
clothe portion of the tract as one who
had suddenly left the world behind him
and stood, indeed, in Gods list temple,
we deem II sacrilege to think of touching
these majestic trees with The az of the
lumbermsn. To know the Cook tract is
to love il, and we have small wonder that
those who know 1t best are willing to
sink tho thought of larger personal profit
which might come to them in the cutting
OF the timber thereon, in the hope that il
may be preserved to the people of the
state as perpetual reminder of the states

generations may stand, as the present
generation has stood, within the shadow

That Water Snake Again.
From Philadelphia Press !


The desire of private water companies
to take water when they see it, whether
the owner wants to part with it or not,
brings up at every session the bill to
grant water companies the right of emf
nent domain. No country estate, no
farm land in the happy possession of a
good spring or lake or stream, would be
secure from invasion and spoilation if
this power were given TO private water
companies. They want the water simply
that they may sell il aud make profit hy
the sale. To use the States power of emf
nent domain to take property from one
private owner to convey it to another
private owner would be a gross wrong.
The farmers OF the State, jealous of their
water rights, are naturally very hostile to
a measure that would take their water
from them by force.
The streams, rivers and waters of this
Commonwealth are protected from for
chile seizure by the law OF this Common
wealth, and that law should remain in
force. The pending bill provides that
they may be condemned and secured by
a water company provided that the Water
Supply Commission consents. That com.
mission does not now exist and no one
can tell how friendly it would be when
created to the designs of water companies.
Bills to endow water companies with
the power of eminent domain, usually
known as water snakes, have appeared
and been defeated in many successive
Legislatures, though one bill required
the aid of an Executive veto to kill it.
The persistence of this demand does not
prove its meiit. Water companies can
buy the water rights now when the owner
OF the land is willing to sell it. To com
pell him to sell his water when he wants
1t for another purpose cannot be justified.
1t would be gross wrong and the bill
proposing il should be killed beyond the
hope of resurrection.

The Best Tonic.

Cocaine users are not the only drug
fiends. People who are horrified by the
tales OF opium eaters are often bound to
some habit which is almost as bad. The
man who is constantly taking medicine
to "tone up his system" is just as much a
victim of the drug habit as If he were
taking cocaine.
The best man, like the best horse, is the
one who works without the whip. I'm.
less doctor prescribes, avoid all tonics.
Ifyou use coffee and tea as stimulants in
stead OF as beverages you had better give
up both. If you are tired and sleepy il is
because nature needs a rest, not the whip
Stimulants should be used only in great
emergencies; and remember that emer-
gencies occur rarely-not every other day.
