WINS BABY HI
NEW THEATRE
Thero has never been anything Ih
this city that created as much excitement,
curlosltty and (un as the
giving away of the real live baby
at the eNw Theater last night. The
house was packed to Its doors with a
j crowd that was anxious to secure n
| baby. The curiosity of the town
has been overflowing all of the week
as to where the baby was to come
from and whose it was. There must
be a good ra&uy people in town that
want a baby for never before haH
there been usch a crowd in any theater
in this city to witness aby vaudeville
performance that has beeti
here. It took only two numbers to
get rid of the baby. The flrBt number
drawn was held by a lady, but
as she would not come up and get
it herself the number was called off.
The second number was held by Mr.
Howell Mldgett of this city. He
proudly walked up to the stage expecting
to receive a real live baby.
Tho .party calling out the numbers
told him that he was expected to
take good care of the baby. TheD
he presented him wltv a fu
ed Berkshire pig about four months
old. It certainly was a beautiful
iktle baby, even if it was a small pig.
The pig was dressed up ^ in baby
clothes with a baby cap on fts head.
There was also a nursing bottledrith
milk to go along with it. All ft all
It was the beet advertising scheme
pulled off in this town. Hats off to

sand Perished.
Quebec, May 30.?The Special Canadian
Pacific Relief train carrying
survivors from the steamship Empress
of Ireland was derailed shortly
after leaving Rimouakl.
Bo far as Is known no one was injured.
Another train was lmxnedi
ately made up.
Over Thousand Perished.
Montreal, May 30.?G. W. 8. Henderson,
of Moflfereal, who was among
the Empress of Ireland survivor*,
telegraphed his firm yesterday afternoon
giving the number of dead
as 1,030. 4
ONLY 390 REACt'KD.
Rlmouflkl, May 30.?Probably
more than a thousand lives and
surely not lees than seven hundred
were loet when the great Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Ireland sank
before dawn yeeterday in the St.
Lawrence river, ripped open from
amidships to stern by the DanLsli
collier Storstad.
This was the estimate made here
yostcrday afternoon, where the hysterica!
survivors, many of them pitiably
maimed and almovt naked,
were being brought.
It was based on the fact that the
mmpress 01 ireiaua ctrnoa *.? ?
persons, all told, of whom three hundred
and ninety-nine were rescued
find landed here by the shipB Eureka
and Lady Evelyn. The Storet&d
at first reported to have more than
throe hundred survivors on board,
had dsailed for Quebec after landing
only a handful of rescued and a
number of dead.
Tho vessel bound from Quebec
for Liverpool, with seventy-seven
first, two hundred and six second
and, Ave hundred and four thirdclass
passengers, was cut wide open
by the collier Storetad end same
within twenty minutes in nineteen
fathoms of water. ,
22 Die After Doing Heectsed.
Of those saved the majority appeared
to be members of the crew
or from the steerage. Many were
badly Injured and twenty-two died
after being picked up.
The crash occurred about 2 o'clock
' yesterday morning off Father Point,
Quebec. The collier, bound for
Quebec, struck the Empress of Ireland
on the port side about the middle
of the ship. She literally tore
her way back almost to the liner's
screws, leaving a rent through which
the water poured in such a deluge
that she sank before many of (he
passengers were aware of what had
happened.
Brief wireless calls for help sent
out by the Marconi operator were
heard by the pilot boat Eureka here,
ion mtles from the scene, and the
Eureka, followed by the Lady Erelyn,
a mail tender, made all speed
for the spot.
lU'wuers I'1ml Few Lifeboats
It was these two boats that found
i afloat the few lifeboats that weru
launched from the stricken ship and
picked up the survivors they contained.
Three hundred and thirtynine
were saved by the Lady Evelyn
and sixty by the Eureka. Among
those saved was Captain H. G. Kendall
of the Empress of Ireland.
Of those saved crew members and
1 third class passengers predominated.
| From partial lists available this afternoon
It wast evident that but a
mere sprinkling of the first cabin
: passengers were rescued. Only
three names of those in the cabins
' appeared in the preliminary lists of
rescued. They were G.VW. G. Henr
