ent
strainer Iusitania, Captain McNay,
from Liverpool, June 18, for Montreal,
having three hundred passengers on
board, was wrecked last night off Cape
Hollard. No loss of life occurred. All
the passengers were rescued. The Iu
siunia was bound round Cape Race
for Montreal with a large cargo and a
shipload of passengers. She mistook
lior course in a dense fog and went
ashore' near Renews, twenty miles
north of Cape Race, before day break.
Thr ship ran over a reef and hangs
agfunsta cliff- The passengers, who
ftre mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the-boats, but were overcome by
the officers and crew, who secured con
trol after great trouble and a prolong
ed struggle with the rougher element
amone ,- the passengers, who used
knives. The women and children
were first landed and the men follow
ed. The crew stood by the ship.
The passengers of the ! Iusitania had
a terrible experience. The first
knowledge which they had of the
disaster was when, owing to the ship
rasping ove-the rocks, they were all
hurled from their berths by the shock.
Many of them were bruised and they
all hurried on deck in their night
clothes. A scene of great excitement
ensued. The male passengers, in their
attempt to seize the boats, trampled
the women under foot and fought the
crew with knives. Some of the more
cool-headed of the passengers assist
ed the crew in the effort to get out the
boats. The women and children res
cued were almost naked. Drenched
with spray, they were pulled up the
cliffs by the coast people. Some of
the boats were demolished in the surf
while attempting to land and their
half-drowned occupants held on to the
rocks, shivering with cold, until res
cued. This morning the unhappy passen
gers, after shivering for hours on the
hill top, tramped over weary miles in
their- endeavor to reach the houses
of the fishermen, where they
are sheltered. Previous to reach
ing shore the passengers passed two
hours of terrible anxiety on the
wrick.

LIFE IS GROWING LONGER.
Untlntlci ShOTT a Great Increase In
the Span of Existence.
. Trom statistics and the result of ctr-
taiu changes in the methods of living we
can safely affirm that the span of life
Is steadily lengthening. Three thousand
ye ars before the Christian "era the aver
age duration of life was said to be three
score years and ten. This would make
middle age come at 33. Dante considered
that year the middle' of life's arch, and
M' litaigne, speaking for himself at the
same period of life, considered his real
work practically ended and proved that
he- thought ho was growing old by falling
into the reminiscent age.
At the present time 50 years is consid
ered as middle ocp. In the days' of the
Revolutionary war prominent men at
that time were looked upon as old at 50
years. We are justified in supposing
tLnt the span of human life will be pro
, longed in the future because the possi
bility of living to an older age has been
demunstraited by - the great, advances
made in medicine and hygiene during the
pa-t ten years..
We have attained a vast amount of
knowledge as to the causes of disease,
&Li new remedies for their successful
treatment have been discovered, i We
Lave no new diseases, at least of any
frrious character, and we are better able
to treat the old ones, which, like old foes,
appear to us with new facea.
One of the most interesting and trust
worthy statements in respect to old age
la the report of the habits of centena
rians, made some years ago by a com
mission appointed by the British Medical
association. Without going into particu
lars of the different cases, it is valuable
to note generally the rrsult of this in
' venigation.
It seems that most of these old people
w re small or medium of Btature and of
spare habit of body. The voice was
rarely feeble. Most of thorn had lost
hejr teeth, but nearly all of thoui enjoy
' ed good .digestion, one old man of 08, a
clergyman, placing his hand on the orgai
in question and saying that he nevei
knew what it wns to have n stomach.
Xeurly all of them had enjoyed uninter
rupted good health, nnd many had nevei
known y-hut it was to be sick.
They were all very moderate in eat
ing, most of them using little animal
food. Few indulged at all in intoxicating
drinks and those only in notable modera
tion. They, took considerable outdoor
exerrljif.,- and nearly all possessed the

Dead All Italian Emigrants ,
Bound to Colorado.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Peru, Ind., June 26. Sixteen per
sons were billed and about fifty were
severely injured in a wreck of Train
No. 3, the westbound Wabash limited,
nine miles west of this city, at 12.30
A.M. to day. The dead are all Italian
emigrants enroute to Colorado, whose
names are unknown.
Two sections of Train No. 3 one
coming from Detroit and the other
from Toledo were consolidated in
this city into a train of eleven cars,
making up the flyer for its journey to
St. Louis. It consisted of a combina
tion baggage and express, combination
baggage and smoker, day coach, emi
grant coach, three chair cars, three
sleepers and the private car of General
Superintendent William Cotter, of the
Iron Mountain Railway. Having left
this city one hour late the train was
speeding westward at a high rate when,
at a point nine miles west, the engine
piungea mrougn a trestle , which had
been undermined by the recent heavy
rains. The embankment on both, sides
of the little stream dropped at a sharp
decline a' distance of forty feet.
Owing to the momentum of the
train the engine appeared to leap
nearly across the abyss, plunged into
the soft earth on the opposite side and
fell back to the bottom. Engineer
Butler and Fireman Adams were
thrown from the cab, but not seriously
hurt. The express car and the first
chair-car were telescoped. The emi
grant car, followed by two chair-cars,
went down on the left side of the
track and the first sleeper pitched for
ward upon the mass of debris. Its
windows and trucks were broken, but
none of the occupants was injured.
The remaining cars also left their
trucks, but were not badly damaged
It was in the emigrant and day coaches
that most of the deaths and injuries oc
cured. There was absolutely no means
by which the engine crew could see the
impending danger. In fact, the engine
ran out upon the trestle before the
structure gave way. The night was
intensely dark. For a few minutes
after tha fatal plunge and dreadful
roar of crashing timbers, a deathlike
stillness prevailed which was only
broken by the cries of the injured.
Trainmen caught up their lanterns and
rushed to the neighboring farm houses
for assistance. The farmers, with their
wives and children, bearing torches,
hastened to the scene and all efforts
were bent to giving first aid to the in
jured. Telephone messages were dis
patched to this city and every physi
cian was hurriedly taken to a special
train, which carried them to the scene.
The injured were placed aboard the
cars and brought to the general hospi
tal in this city, where everything pos
Bible was done to ameliorate their con
dition. For a time after the rescuers
reached the scene of the wreck little
could be done in the way of removing
the dead. Hundreds of tons of twisted
iron and broken timbers rested upon
the car where the unfortunate emi
grants were ciushed. But by means
of wrecking ' derricks the mass was
gradually opened and by daylight
nearly all the dead had been removed
to this city.
Dangerous Factories.
Not far from the heart i f New York
city is a factoTy for the manufacture cf
deadly poisons in quantities large
enough to annihilate the entire popula
tion of New York. The factory is so
guarded that even Its next tloor neigh
bors need have no fear of it. but tl.o
possibilities stored there excite the im
agination. No one may enter it with
out a special permit. The employees
are all skilled men, well aware of the
danger of the slightest carelessness.
They manufacture, among other things,
pure anhydrous acid, which is so dan
gerous that in Its pure state" it is not
placed in the market. There is instant
death in Its fumes if they are permitted
to escape. Nitric acid is stored in an
other part of the factory In big glass
carboys. The men who work in this
factory realize that n broken carboy of
nitric acid would mean a disaster, and
they treat It with the respect which it
deserves. This factory and others like
it are guarded more carefully than a
safety deposit vault. New York Sun.
When Bathing Wm Rare.
In some old court memoirs of the
eighteenth century which have recent
ly been called again to attention it is
Btated that when George IV was a
baby he was bathed only once a fort-,
night. That was thought to be plenty
pften enough. in those days for a child
to be washed. When pne of George's
little' sisters had measles, the royal
mother gave most careful Instructions
that the child's linen was not to be
changed too soon, as she feared that
some careless attendant would clothe
It In garments insufficiently aired and
so ''drive in the rash." In those days,
people were much afraid of clean linen
and bathing. - It was believed the com
plete bodily 'ablutions were weakening,
yet prince, peer and peasant alike call

the period, who bled them Into a state

FROM IEAYEN
Cicely Halstoad's wedding morn dawn
ed gray and cheerless. Leaden skies
gave little promise of sunshine. Add to
the depressing influence of the weather
the vivid memory of a dream in which
her loved mother had appeared to her
With outstretched arms-pleading with her
to renounce her lover even at this late,
hour, telling her that nothing but misery
and unhappiness could result from the
onion, it will be readily believed that it
was with a joyless heart that she arose. ,
Cicely was an orphan, possessed of con
siderable wealth. She made her home
with a maiden aunt, whose chief aim in
life was to make Cicely happy. Her
wealth as well as beauty of face and
loveliness of character had brought many
suitors to her feet. Of them all but one
had won her heart gay and handsome
Philip Reycroft. There.were many who
openly declared that it was Cicely's
wealth that he desired, as he was known
to be reckless in his living and frequently
involved in financial difficulties. - '
Cicely could not throw off her oppres
sion of heart,, and, though not unusually
superstitious, she felt that a voice direct
from heaven had spoken and should be
obeyed. With aching heart and tear
dimmed eyes, she wrote a note and sent
it to her betrothed. Scarce believing the
evidence of his eyes, Philip sat as if
stunned on reading Cicely's message.
She had clearly stated her reasons for
her action and in closing had said: "It
will be useless to attempt to see me, as I
leave home at once for an indefinite peri
od. I shall always love and pray for
you. Cicely." t
For perhaps the first time in the 29
years of his existence Philip Reycroft in
dulged in a mental reverie, the subject of
which was bis own life and actions as
they must, have appeared' to others, and
he could not but wonder how such a
sweet girl as Cicely could ever have
cared for him. He was forced to ac
knowledge that she was justified in her
he loved her most sincerely, he re
solved that he would prove his love and
if fate was kind would yet win.' her.
Henceforth his old haunts and friends
should know him no more. With this
determination, he entered the office of a
large law firm and devoted himself most
faithfully to the pctice of his profes
sion, to which he had heretofore given
little time.
Five years elapsed, and Philip Rey
croft was known as one of the leading
lawyers of the great city and a man who
for integrity of character commanded the
respect and admiration of all who knew
him. During these years he had no word
of Cicely, but he believed that some
where in the great world she still lived
and -cared for him.
Weary of travel and sightseeing and
lonely at heart since the death of her
aunt, Cicely resolved to return to her na
tive land and take up her abode in the
old home. It was a beautiful estate, sit
uated on the banks of a noble river, and
there she found peace of mind such as
she had not known for many years. Old
friends welcomed her heartily, and it
was not long before sue learned oi tne
change in Philip and the splendid name
he had made for himself.
One morning at breakfast, on taking up
the daily paper, her eye caught the line,'
"Lawyer Reycroft Seriously Injured."
After the first shock of the news she
read the full account, which stated how
a favorite little newsboy of Mr. Roy
croft's, running across the street to meet
him, came directly in the way of a run
away automobile which suddenly appear
ed around the corner, and but for the
. presence of mind and speedy action of
his friend must surely have been killed.
The child escaped with slight injury, but
his rescuer M-as severely hurt nnd taken
to the hospital, where it was feared he
would not recover.
Cicely lost no time, but went up at once
to the city and drove directly to the hos
pital. She was told that no one could
see him, but she begged so earnestly to
be allowed to go to him that permission
was granted her. Philip was in a par
tially unconscious condition, muttering
broken phrases in which she caught the
sound of her own name.
Kneeling by his bedside, she laid h
cool hand on his fevered brow and soft"
murmured: "Philip, dear Philip, I a
here. Will you not speak to me?" A
the sound of her gentle voice his eyes
opened, and as they rested on the loved
face an expression of absolute peace and
happiness gave place to that of pain' and
ntrnnv. Too weak to more than utter
her name, his hand clasped over hers,
tfnd he fell into a deep sleep.
On awakening, Cicely promised, on
condition that-he would not try to talk
or excite himself, that she would call
again on the morrow. Grave fears for
his recovery were still entertained by the
doctors and nurses; but, with Cicely now
retnrnsd to him, he made a desperate
struggle for life and won the victory over
death. In a few weeks he was abl to
leave the hospital, though bearing marks
of his heroic performance which wo;jld
remain with him through life, and short
ly after, on a lovely autumn day, these
two, so long separated, were united, never
to part .again. They -aeciaeo mat iue
little newsboy who was indirectly the
means of reuniting them should share
their happiness and all the advantages
which love and wealth could give. St.

Hounds of all kinds can be taught easily
to follow any particular scent, therefore
In selecting a substitute for the scent of
a fox a strong one is necessary if pace be
the object. The red herring or burned
bone answers this purpose, but aniseed
is stronger and more lasting. But it is
the oil of anise that is used, and It is not
put into a bag, but sprinkled on a small
piece of cotton cloth just as cologne wa
ter is put on a handkerchief. The piece
of cloth is not necessarily dragg d over
the ground, but many flutter in the air
behind the dragman, to whom it is at
tached by a piece of cord, leaving a scent
that can be followed by hounds an hour
or more afterward if it be a good scenting
day. Sometimes the scent is put on a felt
pad worn on the dragman's snoe just in
front of the heel.
The most effective "drag" is said to be
a combination of one part of valerian,
two parts oil of anise and four parts cas

iT IS NO TROUBLE AT ALL TO
: l - . FXPERT BURGLAR. -
THE
Ordinary Lccka Itield to His Skill at
Once and the Others Aro Easily
Persuaded How Skeleton Keys,
and Blanks Are Used.
When the householder a readv to
turn out the gas .for the night prepara
tory to turning in, he makes the rounds
of the .house, turns all tne keys to assure
himself the outer doors are locked and
goes to bed confident that no burglar can
get in unless he saws a hole in the door.
But the householder is mistaken. Noth
ing, unless it bo an open door, gives an
expert burglar less trouble than the av
erage lock. "Picking" a lock has come
to be such a fine art that there are only"
a few locks, and those especially made to
order, which cannot be picked by a man
who knows his business. Some people
jthinkhey can fool the lock picker by
Heaving the key in the lock on the inside,
so the burglar cannot insert a "skeleton"
key. This only makes things easier.
The man who knows how and has the
proper tools can turn a key just as easily
irom the outer Side of a door as though
he were on the Bide where the handle of
'the key projects. A slender, strong pair
of steel pliers properly applied will
.clutch the little end of the key which ex
pends below the notches and turn it easi
ly and silently.
But that is not lock picking. That is
child's play. To open a door which has
been locked and from which the key has
.been removed is a different proposition,
but old policemen declare there are very
'few if any doors on ordinary dwellings
and flajbnildinga which axe secured by
locks able to resist the advances of the
jburglar. What are known as "skeleton"
;kevs are made like ordinary doorkeys,
.only the guards, which in regular keys
.contain several notches of different
'dej&ths, are very thin and delicate. In a
ibuich of these keys each one has a guard
just a shade wider or longer than the
taert;one, and the burglar tries them one
by one until he usually strikes one which
iwufdp the business, raise the proper tum
jbersin the lock and shoot the bolt back.
jWhere the old fashioned "rim" locks are
used, the sort which are screwed to the
door and are now found only in very old
jframe buildings or in -the cheaper class
of hotels, this is easy. Any one who has
lever lost the key to one of these locks
must have discovered that almost any old
key he borrowed from the neighbors
would turn the bolt. A buttonhook will
usually do it. Any Blight projection on a
slender rod which will raise the simple
tumbler In the lock will allow the bolt to
be removed.
But "mortise" locks, the variety In use
in all modern buildings, which are fitted
into the edge of the door and leave noth
ing showing but the brass plate on the
edge and the two keyholes are a bit more
intricate in their mechanism and are like-'
!ly to hold the burglar a moment or two
jlonger. But they will eventually yield to
the gentle movements of the expert lock
picker. When several skeleton keys have
jbeen tried and none is found to be the
proper one, the "picks," which give the
art its name, are introduced. These are
slender bits of steel with one end turned
up at a right angle, resembling a button
hook with the "hook" straightened out to
form an L. The long end in the hand of
the burglar is so slender that several of
these can be inserted at once into the cir
cular part of the keyhole, and they are
put in one by one, each one raising a tum
bler and holding it up until the proper
number of tumblers are raised, when the
bolt moves back and the door is open.
There is scarcely a lock in town on
which an expert cannot perform this
trick that is, of the common "variety of
locks which can be opened through a
keyhole from either side of the door.
With spring locks or "night latch" locks,
as they are called the work is a bit
more difficult sometimes and is more of
ten performed with a skeleton key than
with picks. The expert burglar is pro
vided with a pocketful of night latch
keys cut from steel or iron "blanks" and
each one having notches a shade different
from the others. In the cheaper grade
of night latches one of these keys is al
most certain to prove a duplicate of the
one on the key ring of the householder
snugly asleep inside in perfect confi
dence in his lock.
And after the house has been robbed
and no one disturbed the folks say:
"I can't see how they got in, for the
door was locked, and we found it locked
this morning."
The wise burglar takes care to close the
door behind him so as to avert suspicion
as long as possible.
Not all of the lock picking is done by
criminals, however. Some of the most
expert men in that line are practical
locksmiths and employees of the big safe
making firms, who have spent years in
peering into locks and devising methods
for making them proof against all at
tacks save those of the keys intended for
them. The battle constantly raging be
tween the makers of high power shells
and the makers of armor plate is no
more steadily waged than that between
lockmakers and burglars that is. mak
ers of locks which cost a barrel of money
and are intended to guard valuables. The
so called burglar proof safe of 20 years
ago would be laughed at by the safe
blower of today. The time lock doors of
a safe deposit vault, with their ponder
ous cranks and screw thread mechanism,
are the highest type of the lock expert's
art. They are supposed to be absolute
ly proof against everything except earth
quakes and properly applied dynamite.
But when they get out of order and re
fuse to open at the appointed time the
lock expert is sent for, and after an hour
or two of gentle turning and twisting and
listening to the interior clickings he
'swings open the door, and the trick is
done. Chicago Chronicle.

- From the Celtic &
There was ence a man named Ivan
who left his wife and went to work for a
farmer, hiring for 3 a year. At the end
of a year the farmer instead of giving
Ivan his wages gave him a piece of ad
vice, "Never leave the old road for the
sake of a new one."
After that they agreed for another year
at the old wage, and at the end of it
Ivan took instead a piece of advice and
this was it, "Never lodge where an old
man is married to a young woman,"
The same thing happened at the end of
the third year, when the piece of advice
was, "Honesty is the best policy."
But Ivan would not stay longer, but
wanted to go back to his wife.
When Ivan was going to leave
"Here," said his master, "here is a cake
for thee to take home to thy wife, and
When ye are most joyous together then
break the cake, and not sooner."
So he took fair leave of them and trav
eled toward home, and at last he came
to Wayn Her, and there he met three
merchants from Tre Rhyu, of his own
parish, coming home from Exeter fair.
"Oh, ho, Ivan!" said they. "Come with
us. Glad are we to see you. Where
have you been so long?"
"I have been in service," said Ivan,
"and now I'm going home to my wife."
"Oh. come with us. You'll be right
welcome."
But when they took the new road Ivan
kept to the old one. And robbers fell
upon them before they had gone far from
Ivan, as they were going by the fields of
the houses in the meadow. They began
to cry out, "Thieves!'",and Ivan shouted
out, 'Thieves!" too. And when the rob
bers heard Ivan's shout they ran away,
and the merchants went by the new road
and Ivan by the old one till they met
again at Market Jew.
"Oh, Ivan," said the merchants, "we
are beholding to you. But for you we
would have been lost men. Come, lodge
with us at our cost, and welcome."
When t&ey came to the place where
they used to lodge, Ivan said, "I must see
the host."
"The host!" they cried. "What do you
want with the host? Here is the hostess,
and; she's young and pretty. If you
want to see the host, you'll find him in
the kitchen."
So he went into the kitchen to see
the host. He found him, a weak old
man, turning the spit.
"Oh, oh," quoth Ivan, "I'll not lodge
here, but will go next door."
"Not yet," said the merchants. "Sup
with us and welcome."
Now it happened that the hostess had
plotted with a certain monk in Market
Jew to murder the old man in his bed
that night while the rest were asleep,
and they agreed to lay it on the lodgers.
So, while Ivan was In bed next door,
there was a hole in the pine end of the
house, and he saw a light through it. So
he got up and looked and heard the monk
speaking. "I had better cover this hole."
said he, "or people in the next house may
see our deeds." So he stood with his
back against it while the hostess killed
the old man.
But meanwhile Ivan out with his
knife and, putting it through the hole,
cut a round piece off the mouk's robe.
The very next morning the hostess
raised the cry that her husband was
murdered, and, as there was neither man
nor child in the house but the meichauts,
she declared they ought to be hanged for
It.
So they were taken and carried to pris
on till at last Ivan came to them. "Alas,
alas, Ivan," cried they, "bad luck ti Us
to us. Our host was killed last ui.fat,
and we shall be hanged for it."
"Ah, tell the justices," said Ivan, "to
summon the real murderers."
"Who knows," they replied, "who com
mitted the crime?"
"Who committed the crime?" said
Ivan. "If I cannot prove who committed
the crime, hang me in your stead."
So he told all he knew and brought
out the piece of cloth from the monk's
robe, and with that the merchants were
set at liberty, and the hostess and the
monk were seized and hanged.
Then they came all together out of
Market Jew, and they said to him,
"Come as far as Coed Carrn y Wylfa"
(the Wood of the Heap of Stones of
Watching in the parish of Burman).
Then their two roads separated, and,
though the merchants wished Ivan to go
with them, he would not go with them,
but went straight home to his wife.
And when his wife saw him she said:
"Home in the nick of time. Here's a
purso of gold that I've foaml. It has
no name, but sure it belongs to the great
lord yonder. I was just thinking what to
do when you came."
Then Ivan thought of the third coun
sel, and he said. "Let us eo and give it
to the great lord."
So they went up to the castle, but the
great lord was not in it; so they left the
purse with the servant that minded the
gate, and then they went home again
and lived in quiet for a time.
But one day the great lord stopped at
their house for a drink of water, and
Ivan's wife said to him, "I hope your
lordship found your lordship's purse
quite safe, with all its money in it?"
"What purse is that you are talking
about?" said the lord.
"Sure, it's your lordship's purse that I
left at the castle," said Ivan.
"Come with me, and we will see into
the matter," said the lord.
So Ivan and his wife went up to the
castle, and there they pointed out the
man to whom they had given the purse,
and he had to give it up and was sent
away from the castle. And the lord
was so pleased with Ivan that he made
him his servant in the stead of the thief.
"Honesty's the best policy," quoth
Ivan as he skipped about in his new
quarters. "How joyful I am!"
Then he thought of his old master's
cake that he was to eat when he was
most joyful, and when he broke it, lo and
behold, inside it was his wages for the
three years he had been with him! St.
