THOUGHT LOST

SEATTLE. WASH, Nov. 1S.-Dis-
patches re :eived to-day from Fair
banks, Alaska, gave rise to grave
fears that VilhJalmur Stefansson, ia 20
nous explorer and discoverer of the
blond Eskimo" and fifteen other
scientists on board the ship Karluk,
lost their lives In an Arctic storm
Nothing has been heard from the
Karluk since she was reported off

ers say that the ship was undoubted-
ly lost in the heavy gales which
ragged throughout early october over

Ladies of Cabinet
Cut House Women
From Calling List

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Storm
signals are flying in official social
circles in Washington because Of the
decision of the Cabinet ladies" to cut
from their calling list the wives OF
members Of the House on the ground
that some pairing Of the overcrowded
calendar had to be zone at the open
ing Of busy social season.
So many calls In the season-those
held to be imperative and those esta o.
lished by precedent-have to be made
by the wife of Cabinet officer that 1t
was regarded as a physical impossi-
bility to extend the list this year.

But 5000 Needed
Now to Save Home
For Atlanta Blind

The last Sage of the campaign TO
raise $4,000 for the School for the
Blind was entered Tuesday with but
$500 remaining. 1t is expected that
the IS. V. c." society vaudeville en-
tertainment, which will be given at
the Atlanta Theater, will do much to
wipe out this last Indebtedness. A
whirlwind campaign is being conduct
ed, in addition to this, to secure the
required amount.
The fund was swelled Monday by a
number Of contributions from out-of-
town people. Through error, 1t was
announced in the afternoon papers OF
Monday that not more than $50 was
needed to complete the fund.
J. K. orr, chairman OF the campaign
committee, stated that number of
contributions had been duplicated in
the list, hence the mistake.

Tn presenting this announcement of
the Lyric Glee club, we do so with
the confidence born of the knowledge
that no male quartette in the Lyceum
field, has attained a more enviable
reputation as a company of cultured
and charming singers.
This is their sixth season and they
are now known from coast to coast as
one of the strongest and most popular
musical organizations in America
They have appeared on nearly all the
principal courses in the country, and
in many cases have been returned for
the second and third engagements.
The Lyrics, after four years of hard
work, decided to give their voices a
rest and the past season has been de-
voted to study and the selection of
new songs for their programs. Their
program for this season is an entirely
new one, containing the best in music

| Atmore. Ala, May 21.-The excur-
| sion over the new rail road, the Deep
Water Route, yesterday from a rail-
road standpoint was a booming sue
cess, at least seven hundred people
| taking advantage, of the chance of go
| ing to ensacola, to see the beautiful
harbor. The writer took advantage of
| it to go to the city for the first time
in some months and the Improvement
in the city was marked on every hand.
The service over the new road is all
that could be desired. The train men
are courteous, the cars are comfort
! able. the track is good, and the time is
made, and even with the excursion
train where hundreds of people were
handled we only failed to get to town
by about Is minutes of the schedule
time. People from upper EscambiA
and Monroe counties, Ala, were there
in great numbers, many of them being
business men taking advantage of the
chance to go to Pensacola, to see about
the chances of making a change in
their trade to that city, in order to
have direct line to ship their goods
over
This road certainly ought to be ap-
preciated by PenSacolians, as they
have been handicapped by one line so
long, and have tried in every way to
get new rail facilities for the last Is
years, and now it has come they ought
to take advantage of it by reaching
out for this trade, which is in the fin
est section of the great state of Ala
bama. Coming as it does through the
best part of Florida and the western
section Of Escambia county, and en-
tering the state of Alabama on the
most beautiful level high dry land and
continuing on through the northern
part of Escambia county and On in to
Monroe, both counties are considered
the best farming section in the state,
and has by far the largest percent of
cultivatable land.
Many New Towns.
New towns are springing up all
along the new line, which are destined
to be small commercial centers which
will be feeders to Pensacola People
who have money to invest can find no
better chance of investment, than the |
lands along this line, or in the town |
sites that are being planned, as 1t is |
opening up the very best country of
any line that has been or can be
started from Pensacola
Road Extension.
The railroad people are now work
ing on the upper end from Jonesville |
to Jones Mill in Monroe county and |
the writer was told that they are put
ting up the very finest grade that is
possible on the new works, and work Is
being pushed to the limit When trains
get to Jones Mil, they come to a town
already doing an immense amount of
business which of course, will be turn
ed towards Pensacola, If 1t is reached
out after in the proper manner by the
business men. 1t is understood that
this section of the work is finished,
continue on till they reach Pine Hill On
the outhern ystem, when they will be
IN touch with the country north of the
point, and thereby get better
rates on all products to Pensacola.

and literature. There are two readers
in the company and sketches will be
given, readings in costume, and the
brass Quartette will be one of the
strong features.
Omar Covert has a first tenor voice,
splendidly adapted for male quartette
work. He has been with the Lyrics
for two years and is a, great favorite
both as a tenor and flute soloist. He
will play the mellophone in the brass
quartette.
Harry NJ. DooIittle the baritone, was
identified with some of the largest
concert bands as a trombone soloist
before going into the quartette work
two years ago. His we'll trained voice
has added greatly to the popularity of
the Lyrics.
Francis I. Hendry, the second tenor,
is also reader of this organization. His
character work in makeup is true to
life. Before going nfto the Lyceum
work he was leader of several concert
bands and his cornet playing in the
brass quartette and as soloist is of the
highest order.
Tom G. Polk the second bass and
manager, needs no introduction to the
public. His deep, rich voice and droll
h1Imor have made him a universal IA
vorite. He plays the euphonium in the
brass quartette.
