Three hundred of the passengers of
the California whose destination WAS
ireland, were landed here this morn
ing.
The Cassandra and the destroyers
experienced some difficulty in locating
the California owing to the fog and
treacherous nature of the coast. The
destroyer Lynx was the first to ar
rive at the scene of the accident and
by the aid of a searchlight from the
Lynx the Cassandra was enabled to
approach the California.
The passengers on the California
commenced disembarking at day
break.
Wireless Works Well.
The wireless worked eXcellenty and
from the moment of the impact the
California was in constant communi-
cation with the Cassandra, the Malin
Head station and the destroyers.
Earlier reports were confirmed to-
day that no loss of life had resulted
from the accident.

VIENNA, Austria. June 29.-From
all parts of the dual monarchy as well
as from most foreign countries, mes
sages poured in today testifying TO
the profoundly painful impression
produced throughout the world by the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand. heir to the Austro- Hun

tributes TO the late archduke and his

suburban station from Ischl at II

with cheers by large crowds. His

the palace by the Archduke Charles
Francis Joseph. new heir-apparent to

Although teday was a holiday the
newspapers appeared ana devoted
their columns exclusively to yester-
days tragic event. All of them dwelt
on the devotion to duty OF the late
archduke and TO the important ser
vices be rendered to the army and
navy. while touching reference was
made to the family relations of the
archduke and his consort, which had
been marked by undisturbed happi-
ness.
General expression was given by the
press TO the conviction that the peO-
ples Of the dual monarchy would
rally round the person of the vener-
able emperor.
Fears are expressed that the aged
emperor. who is nov elghty-four
years old, cannot long survive this

black lace has been brought into IA

Black laces have in general been out

lilly is again employed in the sleeves,
and these, too, are bordered with a
narrow white fur banding. The lace
tunic wells a white taffeta skirt, which
is completed below the length of the
tunic with black chiffon velours, Dor.
dered, in turn, with the white fur.
A recent twist of this idea of the

HAPPY new YEAR CUSTOMS
Celebrations of the Mummers in oiden
Days In Notwithstanding to

On Friday, January 1, the mummers
will mum-that's their way OF ush-

Not all was frightful, however. In
Rome slaves were waited upon by
their masters and the poor reaped
veritable harvests, which was but nat

urnalia of the Eternal City.
In England the mummers performed
plays, spoke dialogues and imperson-
ated famous people. especially kings
and warriors. Songs were sung both
by the mummers and their entertain
ers. Here is one:

In those days they loved. too. to
masquerade as animals, bears and
