cinity answered the wireless calls. At
7 o'clock, three hours after the COLI
sion, the battleship South Carolina was
standing alongside the Cuneo. The
Ryndam s. passengers and those of her
crew who had been transferred to the
Cuneo were taken off by the South
Carolina. The battleship was directed
by wireless from the Newport Navy
Yard to convoy the stricken liner to
this port
Ryndam' s Engines Much Strained
With the South Carolina alongside,
the battleship Texas ten miles astern
the battleship Louisiana in the near
vicinity, and the Cuneo slowly follow
ing the Ryndam was steaming at slow
speed for this port, one hundred and
twenty-four miles east of Ambrose
channel lightship at 10 O'Clock. At
that hour her captain sent wireless
message to the Holland-American line,
her owners, saying that the Ryndam's s
engines were much strained but still
holding out.
Previous messages from Captain Van
Der Heuvel asserted that the water
was gaining in hold No. 6 and that
tha ship would have to be abandoned
if the water gained much more.
So far as the line knew there were
only six Americans among the passen-
gers. The other passengers, it was said,
were Europeans returning home.
No Passengers On the Cuneo
The Ryndam, a vessel of 1876
tons register, net, was built in Belfast
in 1910. Her length is $50 feet, her
beam sc feet. The Cuneo is a steamer
of about 500 tons capacity. She car
ried crew of twenty men and no pas
sengers. Her length is 210 feet.
Dispatches sent during the forenoon
by the South Carolina said the Ryn-
dam was making 1S knots on her way
to this port. This speed, if maintained,
would bring her to New York late to-
night or early tomorrow morning.

the fact that money is not being spent so freely here as it once was.
 Hardly a theatre in Manhattan today is running on the old scale of prices; or, if 1t is. it has out slips, procurable at almost every store which entities the holder to a seat at half the advertised price. The very best Broadway theatrical productions are now having popular priced matinees, and there is hardly an entertainment on the island for which some kind of seat may not be procured for 25 cents or less.
 And the character of the entertainment is changing even s are the prices. For instance, the old Eden Musee, on Twenty third street, recently closed its doors. This famous institution has been one of the sights of the city for years. There was a time when something like 10000 people passed through its doors daily; but recently it has had a struggle to keep alive and that struggle was finally ended in defeat. Location had something to do with that Twenty-third street, Madison Square, there once was the very heart of things, but now New York has moved uptown. The White Lights do not send their beams quite that far south these nights and already Twenty-third street is lined with For Rent signs many of which have been so long there that they are obscured by dust and dirt
 But Father Knick is no wit discour- ged He moves on uptown and keeps trying. As stated. new announcements appear, almost daily, telling us that ere long we swill have something else to entertain us. One of the latest of these announcements Is to the effect that an enormous ice palace is to be erected at once on Broadway between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets.

 SENTIMENT. The world, today, is practical, you'd have me now believe, And sentiment is out of place within It; Were I indeed so credulous my very soul would grieve, To think that love could now no longer win it. But, ah. how wrong such tenets are how false such statsInents too How cold the world were such its true condition! For sentiment must live while Gods eternal skies are blue Iris ours and ours by sacred intuition.
  What takes the hero to the front? The s practical? An, no; What makes him face the maddened fiend and Tartar? What makes him follow e'er his flag, where'er it's colors go, And often sends him to his death a martyr? What makes the bravest of the brave, on carmined field of strife, Where angereda man strikes down his maddened brother. At home display the tenderest and gem test thoughts of wife, @ The deepest love and reverence for mother? The practical is well enough. since both we oft may know, But that, devoid of sentiment-ah. never, For faith and love can weather all the storms of blight that blow. And sentiment will rule the world forever.

The columnists who write daily columns of prose and verse for New York papers. frequently quote from papers in smaller cities, but I have yet to see such quo tation which was not used for the pur pose of making the author thereof ap- pear ridiculous. Here is an instance used by Don Marquis. writing in the Evening Sun: Headline-"MaternityH Hospital to Be Opened; No Men Will Be Treated

The cross-town traffic will not go an equal number of blocks, however as there are but seven blocks to the mile east and west.
