Fate o. the cir jewellers.

It seems that there can be no doubt
that the cliff jewellers were externi'
mated by their more savage ald war;
like neighbors, the men being killed
and the women being adopted into the
tribe of the conquerors though in some
cases migratic,ns may have become
necessary as result Of drought Or
pressure from outside tribes.

suri., In Old English Churches.

The places of burial beneath many
Of the old churches in England are
arranged in different ways. In many
cases the burial is made in a grave
dug in the soil, as Is done in an open
graveyard. In some cases there Is q
crypt beneath the main floor, the crypt
being practically one large vault, and
here the collins are deposited on
shelves Of stone. Sometimes the crypt
is divided into separate vaults which
are really small rooms enclosed on all
sides by stone walls.

Removes Ink Stains.

Stains caused by indelible ink on

faint as to be scarcely perceptible.
First of all, moisten the stain with To-

Next rinse in clear water and dry well,
and the stain, II a new one, will often

TRANSPORT SINKS
AT HER PIER
American Ship Has Mysterious Mis-.
hap at Hoboken, N. J.-No Loss Of
Life Resu,ts-vessei to 90 Raised
Immediately.

Hoboken. n. j., Oct. l5.-The Amer
lean transport America sank at her
pier this morning.
She was reported to have had troops
on board, and it was at first thought
some Of the crew were drowned in the
boiler room.
The transport formerly was the big
Hamburg American line passenger
steamship Amerika. She registers
22,622 tons gross. She was taken over
here when the United States entered
the war. The vessel is $50 feet long
and was built in 1905. With a navy
crew on board the ship has been in
the service Of the army as a troop
transport.
The cause of the sinking was I'M
known but it was said the ship was
undergoing interior repairs. which
may in some way have had to do with
entrance Of water into her hold.
The sinking occurred at a. m,
while most OF the troops were in their
berths. In their hurried escape from
the ship to the pier most of them had
no time to don their clothes.
The Red Cross was called on for as
sistance and soon trucks filled with
blankets. clothing and food arrived ct
the pier.
The sinking Of the America makes
the second transport thus put out OF
commission in New York harbor. On

Troops were placed on guard outside
the pier and details regarding the
sinking were denied inquirers.
The cause of the accident remains
a mystery. The theory expressed IN
some quarters that water poured into
the holds as 4 result Of incomplete re-
pairs. apparently did not conform with
the facts.
The ship was ready to weigh anchor
today for a foreign port. 1t was
learned that a gang OF machinists
were at work at the time the vessel
settled and it was suggested that one
Of these men, being a civilian not IA

The America has capacity OF carry

only 800 were on board at the time.
All the coal had been placed in the
bunkers except small portion to have
been loaded today.

The Herald desires the endorsement
Of MI. Doyle. as a war measure Of an
other and a very important>sort An
irreconcilable conaict is in progress
between sound principles Of govern

which are 80 commonly grouped under
the name Of Socialism, but which in
clude the same spirit, whether 1t be
known under the title Of Socialism,
or anarchism. or I. w. W.-ism. or
what not. This is the spirit of law
lessness and destructiveness. It is the
spiritSwhich eliminates the thought of
progress by honest effort and indus
trious endeavor. and which i~nculcates
class hatred. violence. and in general
the throwing OF Of the restraints
which civilization has imposed on its
members. In whatever form that
spirit exhibits itself MI. Doyle is OPP
posed to it, and for this reason there
is to be found in his candidacy an
