DecOrahian Saw Boat Tragedy.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene RosenthaI
who left last week for Chicago and
a tour of the Great Lakes were in
Chicago last Saturday when the
Eastland, an excursion steamer tipp-
ed over in the Chicago river and
drowned in the neighborhood OF
1900 men, women and children. In
a letter to his father-in-law, F. p.
Adams, Mr.. Rosenthal said it was a
sight that he never could forget, one
of the most appalling ones imagin-
able. Nevertheless it didn't brighten
Mr.. and Mrs. Rosenthal from taking
their trip on the Great Lakes and
they departed the same afternoon on
The South American" on a trip 10
Fort William Canada.
The Eastland had on between
1000 and $500 employees and rela-
tives and friends of the Western
Electric Company for an excursion
across Lake Michigan. The boat was
apparently over loaded and tipped
right at the docks in the Chicago
river.

A REAL BENEFACTOR.
The Fable of the Convict and the
Reform Movement.

Once upon a time the doors of a
state penitentiary swung open to al
low man to make his departure.
The warden slapped him on the
back, shook his hand, and after Civ
ing him a little kindly advice started
him on his way toward the railroad
station. The convict's brain was
filled with good resolutions and in
his mind was firmly fixed a deter
mination to live it down. Some
time during his five years time" he
had heard of movement under the
name of THE Convicts' Reform
League" organized in neighbor-
ing city, and it was here that his
ticket read. Immediately on his ar
rival he sought out the minister
whose name appeared on the sta
tionery of the League. The reveren-
ed gentleman was busily engaged in
writing lecture on the subject of
Helping Make Men of Them" but
took time to listen to the convict's
story. He offered his sympathy but
