FIRST AMERICAN
STEAMER SUNK
Captain and Twenty-seven Of Crew
Of Cotton Steamer Rescued,
10 Report.
(By Associated PrAna.l

London, Feb. %. - The American
steamer Evelyn, from New York Jan.
uary 20, with cotton for Bremen,
struck a mine off Borkum Island in
the North Sea yesterday and sank.
The captain and twenty-seyen Of the
crew were saved. The nationality Of
the mine has not been learned.
The Evelyn is the first American
vessel TO meet with disaster as re.
suit OF the sea warfare Of the Euro
pean Nations. She did not sink in
the war zone included In the German
admiralty's decree OF February 4,
which went into effect on Thursday.
Borkum Island lies directly Off the
German coast at the mouth Of Ems
river and Is German territory.
Maritime records give the compile.
ment Of the Evelyn as twenty-five
men, so that Il IS probable that all on
board the vessel were rescued.
The Evelyn was n slngle.screw steel
steamship and was commanded by
Captain Smith, She belonged to a,
II. Hull G Company Of New York, and
was chartered by the Harris-Irby Cot
ton Company to take a cargo Of cot
ton to Bremen. She was 252 feet long
and 1.lS5 tons net. She was built IN
Southampton, England, in 1883. Hei
home port was Philadelphia.
The Evelyn was last reported as
arriving at Rotterdam on February II

The first American steamer to meet
disaster because of the European war
has gone TO Davy Jones locker She
was reported sunk bv a mine In Ger
man waters, territory not included
in the German blockade proclamation,
and the mine in all probability was
laid before the blockade went into eff.
feet. II these are the facts, the
United States has no recourse. A
ship entering mined waters, with full
knowledge OF all the facts, certainly
does Il at IT'S own risk.

PALISADE UNION CHURCH
ADDITION TO BE BUILT.
Great Interest Being ShOWn In
important Work For Use
as Civic Center.

The interest in the completion of
the Palisade Union Church is increas-
ing. The recently started movement
to begin on the main building the
church has been talked of almost in
cessantly in church circles, and it now
seems certain that a regularly plan
ned campaign for raising funds will
be begun Immediately for the purpose
of getting in the basement walls. 1t
is proposed to do this part of the work
now, roof yer the basement, and use
it FIR several years as public meet
ing place and sort of Civic Center.
There is not a single auditorium in
Palisade of sufficient size to take care
of $50 people comfortably, so the ne
cessity of having larger place for
public sessions of all kinds is abso-
lutte. Palisade is growing faster now
than for several years, and the future
promises even more than has been
noted the past year. Last year there
were ten or eleven new houses built
here that cost over $125,000, and more
are planned or this year. I the peo-
pie here once set Their heads together
to build this Union Church addition it
no doubt will ge through without
much delay. A local athletic asso-
citation will no doubt be I'm in con-
nection with this new basement addi-
ton, and indoo meets of all kinds,
including basket ball for the winter
months will be form of entertain
ment that will add great pleasure to
the village residents. Taken all in
all, the addition to the town of Pail
SADIE will be one of the most valuable
things that could be accomplished.

CherbrOugh, France.

About four o'clock in the afternoon
we came into the harbor of Cher
brough, France. One thing noticeable
in this harbor are the Notifications
on all sides. France realizes that this
is an important harbor and has pro-
tected it deliberately. Forts and big
guns were on every side of US. On
one side, too, we noticed about two or
three hundred prisoners just getting
through their toll being marched
back to prison under heavy guard.
The tender of the White Star Line
came out in the roads to the ship and
about fifty or sixty passengers came
aboard. The ship headed out to sea
bound for Queenstown, Ireland, where
final stop is to be made. We expect
to reach there some time tomorrow
morning.

THE WHISTLE NUISANCE
ROUNDLY DENOUNCED
BY "PEACE LOVERS. -

Editor of Palisadian:
efts which industrialism has brought
to our times and the dominating role
that is playing in our lives today,
there seems to be streak of coarse
ness, one might say, brutishness, that
breaks out, not only in the looks of in
dustrial plants, but also in the matter
of the noise nuisance. The south-end
fringe of Bergen County, has become
largely industrial through the loca-
ton of many great factories along the
Edgewater water front, and, although
these in themselves are on the whole
a desirable acquisition and asset to
the Palisade section, yet their treat
ment of the more purely residential
element of the community in the mat
ter of the sounding of disturbing
steam whistles at different times of
the day and night is hardly an evil
dence of civilized regard for the COM
fort of ones neighbors.
1t should not be necessary to make
this the subject of legislative action.
The thing is nuisance, and disfigures,
as far as it is able, the whole commun-
ity. The practice of sounding, in some
cases most discordantly, great steam
whistles, is plain case of peace-dis-
turbing for which there is no CALL and
from which the public should look for
redress from their regularly organic
ed government.
Cannot the atmosphere of our re-
gion be cleaned from this useless and
senseless ear-sore?
The damage to nerves and sleep, to
say nothing of the higher aesthetic
sensibilities which, supposedly, many
of our resident families possess, would
possibly not be sufficient argu-
ment to oppose to this crude practice,
were the practice in itself reasonable
one. But just because steam plant
begins work, or stops work, is no rea-
son for disturbing the peace of COM
munity with ear-splitting roars and
growls and shrieks.
1t is easy to see how even the man
ners of children, to say nothing of
their aesthetic sense, is damaged by
this barbarous influence.
Yours,
Peace Lover.

ARCHDEACON'S SERMON
AT TRINITY EPISCOPAL.

The sermon of Archdeacon J. A. Nc
Clary last Sunday morning was re-
markable in many ways. 1t was re-
markable in that it was a re-enaction,
in literary form, of the life and eff
orts of Trinity Parish for the last ten
years. 1t was remarkable for its Gre
ating, in a few strong strokes, the
development of this section II the At
lantic Seaboard during the ,ast few
decades. 1t was also, and more init
mately, remarkable, for it's painting
to those present the scenes of the,
own personal development, here in
their home country; their own growth
from youth to maturity, or from child
hood.

Queenstown. Ireland.

We sighted Ireland today about
nine in the morning, and shortly we
were at anchor in the outside harbor
of Queenstown. All large ships have
to stay outside and passengers are
brought out in tenders. Queenstown
from distance seems to be very
nice place set up on the side of a
hill, the white houses and the spire
of magnificent church standing out
prominently against the green of the
hills. On one side of the bay is
Spike Island, long used as prison
for political offenders, and many Irish
patriots spent their lives in imprison-
ment for their love of Ireland on that
pile of rocks.
Here we gain our last impression
of the traders of Ireland. Small
boats put off from the mainland as
soon as ship comes in sight, or
rather are waiting for it just outside
the harbor. AS soon as the ship
stops they swarm all around, and in
a few minutes Chamber aboard, laden
with baskets of fruit, latest New York
papers, shillelaghs, walking sticks,
silk handkerchiefs, knit shawls, etc.
Women as we'll as men are engaged
in this precarious calling, and they
both are very wheedling in their
sales. They'll ask you about five
times what an article is worth, and
if you are not on the ropes you'll pay.
bought a walking stick the chap
wanted six shillings for and only paid
him one and six. 1t is a great sight
to see them leave the ship, sliding
down a rope to the small boat, the
women going down that way just
like the men and just as easy.
About one hundred or so emigrants
and some second and frst-class pas
sengers came aboard, and soon we
were headed out to sea, bound to New
York.
On ShipbOard.
A trans Atlantic trip is just like a
summer resort. Everybody seems so
strange for a day or two and then,
becoming acquainted, have a bully
time together. We had quite
crowd in the second cabin on the
Majestic, and got along famously.
We had games and contests of differ
ent kinds on the deck; three-legged
races, running matches, shuttle board,
ETC., the grown people enjoying them

BOYS MINSTREL SHOW
TO BE GIVEN SOON.
Junior CiDic League Auxiliary
to WOman's League of Palis-
ade Being Rehearsed By
Edgar Darby.

One of the richest treats yet seen in
Palisade will be the minstrel show to
be given by the members of the Junior
Civic League of the Palisade Woman's
Club. Mrs. S. E. Darby conceived the
idea of securing the services Of the
smaller boys for helping many of he
necessities of Palisade, and learning
that there was already an organiza
ton of the very boys she needed, she
appealed to the Gamma Sigmas," and
they Immediately took up the enter
prise, and already have begun to show
that they may be important factors of
substantial kind in the community.
The work they have done on the
streets in the way of sprinkling ashes
on icy days, was most commendable.
The matter has spread among the 9TH
err Woman's clubs of the whole State
of New Jersey: and Junior Civic
Leagues are now organizing all over
New Jersey. So the boys of Palisade
have set noble example, and their
fame is going to be great, for there is
likelihood that the movement will
spread all over the country.
One of the first things that Mrs.
Darby has set her heart on for the
boys to accomplish is the purchase of
fountain at which man and beast
may drink, to be placed at some prom
inent point in Palisade, there to stand
as a monument to the small boys of
Palisade. The minstrel show will be
a fine affair, because Edgar Darby is
going to get it up. He will do the
main part of the work, and Charles
Logan has consented to act as inter
locutor. The work of preparation has
already started, and the date Of the
performance will be announced short
ly.

as much as the kiddies. Then the
smoking room was great place for
a few convivial spirits to gather and
play cards and tell stories over bot
tie or two of Guinnesses or Bass.
The first cabin had only a few pas
sengers booked, and they seemed
ceedingly fine all the way over, and
on three different evenings we ar
ranged for a dance on deck. We
obtained permission from the first
cabin passengers for the use of the
orchestra, a piano was brought on
deck, and we danced, both English
and Yankee style waltzes, until about
eleven o'clock Some of the first
cabin passengers, leaving their full
dress suits and evening gowns in their
cabins and appearing in their every
day dress, came over to enjoy the
dance 1t was rather funny sensa-
ton dancing on the deck of ship
blowing through the ocean, every
time she would roll a bit you would
be dancing up an incline.
People Met in Travelling.
The people you meet on a trans
Atlantic voyage are of many kinds,
and some are great travellers. One
man of about sixty years old had
come from Pretoria, South Africa,
and had only three hours time at
Southampton to catch the Majestic.
He was booked through for Berkely,
Cal, and estimated he would have
about three hours to spend in New
York before catching his train for the
West. Another chap had come from
some mining camp in Central Africa,
about seven or eight-day journey
from the Coast. He was on his way
to visit his folks in Colorado. He
told me one night, the night of the
dance in fact, when he was busy
dancing with every girl he could grab
hold of, that he had not seen white
woman for eleven months until he
came down to the coast town from
the camp on his way back. Then
there was an aviator on his way to
some circus in Mississippi; poor chap,
he was seasick for four days. A mar
ried couple also were on board who
came from Australia and were on a
trip around the world. Another chap,
with six fingers on each hand, and six
on each toe so he said, a deep sea
diver by profession, on his way to
Mexico to work for some English
concern doing business there. An
other man, a big Scotchman, on his
way to Cramps Shipyard in Phila-
delphia to inspect the valves or pumps
of some kind installed in a Yankee
battleship; he had boarded the i'll
fated Titanic at Belfast and rode
around in her until Queenstown was
reached, where he left it. Another
chap, an officer of some kind on a
tramp steamer, had been sent to
England to testify in some law suit
and was on his way back to Brooklyn
to take his ship for China. These,
and others with interesting stories,
made an interesting crowd to get
talking to.
Then the different shifts of firemen,
coal passers, trimmers and oilers
each had a different way of amusing
the passengers during their off-period.
One crowd were great at boxing, and
most every day, during their off
period, would entertain the cabin
passengers with several bouts. An
other watch had burlesque band,
with dippers, and gongs, concertina,
harmonica, and drum, and furnished
us with many an amusing hour.

TRIP OF INTEREST.
Continued from October Palisadian. J
Police and Firpmen

Police and Firemen.
The London bobby" or policeman,
is quite well set up chap, averaging
about five feet eight inches in height
but the tight fitting uniform they wear
make them appear very thin. A great
many of them wear mustaches or
boards. They carry no clubs or guns,
and are equipped with a bulls-eye
lantern at night; you can see them
any night going around flashing their
lanterns into every dark hole or cor
ner on their beat. But they can surely
handle the street traffic in an ad-
mirable way, and there never seems
to be any confusion.
We only got one glimpse of the
fire department of London, and had
to look sharp to get that, as it was
an automobile apparatus and was
going about forty miles an hour
Fire engines are not as frequently
seen here as they are with US, as the
absence of wood construction tends to
decrease the number of fires.
A surprise to Yankee here is the
cheapness Of the taxi-cab riding
about sixteen cents per mile. The
employees are very courteous and
civil and tip of six pence, or twelve
cents, is thankfully received.
Here, too, they have a custom that
was rather strange. When a funeral
passes along the street most every
man removes his hat as a mark of
respect while the hearse is passing.
London men are known as the best
dressed men in the world, and those
who can afford it no doubt are High
hats are almost universally worn
down in the business districts, and
spats, too, are in great favor. But
the average man, or the workingman
does not appear as well-dressed as
the average Yankee, the shoes espe-
cially seem so ungainly and are more
apparent as the trousers are SC
narrow.
Leaving England.
Wednesday, July 3, 1912.
Off this morning by taxi to the
Waterloo Station to depart from there
to Southampton. We had our first
experience with a London fog, and
did not like it at all. Our train ride
brought US through very nice coun-
try, and at about eleven o'clock in the
morning we were at the dock. AS we
were citizens of the United States
there was no trouble or difficulty en-
countered in passing the inspectors,
but aliens coming to the States are
closely observed by the steamship
company's doctors, especially with
regard to the condition of the eyes.
About fifteen new life boats are being
loaded on to the 'Majestice" at this
time, as the recent disaster to the
Titanic has stirred everyone to action
regarding such equipment. We left
the harbor about noon, and on our
way out to sea witnessed an aviator
in hydro-aeroplane going through
his stunts.
