Tremcndiious Storms of the Week Have Doubtless Made One Thou, ami Widow and Orphans Moth er Found Sons and Fathers Lock ed in Each Others Amis. St. Johns. N. F., April 5. Anxie-: ty deepened tonight (or the 173 men of the sealing Ft earner Southern Cross, which has been missing since Tuesday's blizzard. She was not re ported either by incoming vessels of the sealing fleet or by the steamer Kyle, sent out by the Government to search for her. If fche is not heard from by sunset tomorrow she will be oftlcialiy posted as lost with all on board. Disaster to her follow ing so closely the lost of 77 men of the sealer New Fcundland. would bring on the colony the greatest tragedy ill its history, depriving whole "settlements of their bread winners and rendering 1.000 women and children dependant on charity. As the public learned today from the New Foundland'a survivors, who were landed yesterday, details of the two-day's blizzard and the condition In which it caught the .Southern Cross, the first hopes, based on the stoutness of the ship, faded. Captain Daniel Martin of the Steamer Erik and Captain Bartlett of the Terra Nova which arrived with full catches, were dubious regarding the safety of the missing ship. Neither had seen her within a week. Cantatn Martin said he parted company from her a week ago Thurs day when the Southern cross turnea homeward with 17,000 seals. She was so deeply laden that all her pro visions and part of her bunker coal were stored on deck. SOUTHERN CROSS LAST SEEN. Captain Bartlett of the Terra No va, said the last he saw or tne .outn ern Cross was a week ago Friday when she was wallowing slowly down the coast. Other ships of the fleet sighted the steamer driving before the gale last Thursday morning. She has not been reported since and the shippers or the fleet who came through that ileet and the storm of equal severity later in the week, say every chance was against a vessel so deep in the water as the Southern Cross. In every church today the disas ter which overtook the New Found land's men on the Ice was the theme of the sermon. Messages of sympa thy from the King and from the Ca nadian Premier were read. By noon all but five of the 69 bodies of the New Foundland's hunters brought in yesterday by the llellaventure, had been notified. These were shipped tonight to Bona Vista, where most of the victims lived. Attendants at the Grenfell Insti tute, which was turned into a morgue, said that the scenes accom panying the Indentiflcation of the bodies were almost beyond endur ance. One woman found two bodies clasped so tightly In death that they could not be separated. They were husband and son. The lad was wrapped In his father's arms as If the man had been trying to shield him from the pitiless cold. The hand of another dead man was missing. One of the survivors who had lain helpless near the body for nearly 48 hours said that his comrade, unable to stand the agony of the frost bite, had sliced off the hand with his seaman s knife. , A gray haired mother supported by her two daughters, passed down the long rows looking for her sons. At tention was suddenly drawn to them when the woman fell to the floor in a faint. They had found not only the four sons and brothers, but two cousins among the dead. MAIMED FOR LIFE. Of the 30 survivors In the hospital none Is expected to die but the ma jority never will be fit for active ser vice again. Three lost both hands nvd both feet. Five lost bo;h feet L'gnt other., lost a foot and cVven will lose a hand or fingers. The oth' ers will bear scars for life. Some of the survivors said they sought shelter from the Arctic gale behind the bodies of dead shipmates, but in all the delerium of the two days and nights exposure, the bod ies of the dead were left Inviolate Each man of tho 150 endured his lot with grim patience, and each one, the dead as well as the living, was found with his full equipment of clothes, boots and sealing gear intact. Special memorial services will be held Tuesday. By that time, also relief measures can be considered If the Southern Cros fails to appear, the families of her 173 men might be provided for, as well as those of the Newfoundland 8 dead ana crip pled.

New York Herald. Boldly with the intention of hav . : the affair heralded to the utter most parts of the country the publici ty promoters of Barnum Bailey s circus yesterday afternoon arranged a dinner in Ilealy's restaurant. Sixty- sixth street and Columbus avenue. In which the "freaks" were supposed to honor Zip, the oldest "freak" in the business, on his sixty-fifth birthday. Therefore be it known that no police card was needed to see the armless wonder smoke a cigarette which she held between two toes of her left foot while with the olher foot she deftly handled a dor.iitai.se. or to hear the rumblings of content which emanated from Zip. the ' What is it?" of the circus business. All a reporter had to do was to walk up one flight and whisper lie- porter" and he was hu. tied into the Jungle room, where no ordinary spec tacle met his eyes. I was there, and I know. On first entering the room the per sons at the dinner table seemed as if thev might have been Just men and women who had no taste for color harmonr in their attire. At second glance one might Imagine that hi: mind was wandering, for on the ta ble between cocktail glasses was a creature known as Trincess Weenie Wee. who is so tiny that it Is a pity. Then there was an Indian, a Samoli person, clutching an assegai, a wo man of ponderous size, and a man who seemed nothing but bones and face. After that ono became Inter ested. 'TWAS A FREAKISH AFFAIR. Certainly It was a freak'sh affair. The living skeleton was overheard to remark that nobody loved a fat man and the fat woman was eating all his food as well aSher own. The sword swallower was trying to put a knife and a fork about twenty-four inches long down her throat at the same time, and that armless wonder was at that moment dipping the great toe of nor left, foot Into her soup, handling or snouiu i say 'footing a big spoon as best she could. She then was seen to smooth back a stray lock with the same foot which was clad In Danube blue hose of shiniest silk. "Jack Barrett, the midget, who was talking about his new baby, was toustuuBter. . Ho told all those at the table that he objected to the term "freak," adding that persons who made their living In this way were curiosities pronuncod "coross tes." After a sip at the second cocktail Barrett, who Is about thirty-nine years old and thirty-eight Inches in height, toasted Zip. He said that without Zip there would have been no Barnum & Bailey circus, and then becamo fulsome in panegyric. The fat woman scowled, and the armless wonder, Senorita Marie, sipped her cocktail, holding the shank of the glpss with her toes. Mine. Maxlne, who spoke Amerl can with great fluency, was watching a beloved snake, which was colled in a tinpan on the table before her. This same snake nearly put a stop to the party and caused tho anger of Thomas Healy. SNAKE FOR HER BOA. Perhaps at the suggestion of the publicity loving press agents. Mad ame, who wore the snake to the res taurant as if It were a feather boa sought to check her wraps. She handed the snake to the coat girl The girl shrank from the reptile and in doing so she toucehd a heated ra diator. The girl then Imagined that there were other snakes and that the burn she received was a snake bite This resulted In much confusion, and a few minutes passed before the girl would take anything from anybody who entered the place. As soon as this was forgotten Run nlng Jump, the Indian, sat next to cocktail and then discovered that the one next to his own was not then in demand. Soon he was drinking beer, and It was with sincere regret that he tarried a moment to make speech in Sioux regarding Zip. Cherry Davis, the fat woman, who sat In an upholstered arm chair as none of the other seats were large enough for her, suddenly accused Zip of flirting with the snake charm er, and when brought to task the aged freak admitted that Madame Maxlne was more Vb him than the mountain of flesh. DANCING, TOO. IN THE CELE B RATION. Barrett smoked one of the biggest cigars he could find, and between puffs qulted the fat woman, urging her to take some more of the food put In front of the living skeleton Next to running Jump sat DJamah All, an alleged Somali chief, who ate only fruit and sardines and dran milk.

NOT MICH OF A MEDICINE. SLENDER (URL CAKJHT FAT MAN FAL1.ACY OF WAREHOUSE PLAN. Slate Hoard of Health .Makes in quiries of Physicians as to Liquor Prescriptions ami Finds Out Im portant Facts Rest lractic is .Way From Whiskey, Yet Ires rriptions Have Increased How IWtors are Imposed Mr. Warren H. Booker, assistant ecretary of the State Board oi leahli. hat been investigating the question of how much whiskey is needed for sickness. He has made his investigation among doctors hemselves and come to some import ant conclusions. A part of his art! lo follows: Just a little on account of sick ness. mat used to De an om ex- use for keeping the Jug around the iouse. ow it is Becoming an ex cuse for getting whis key by the pint or ouart from the drug stores. The iiiesiion has been raised if prescrib ng liquor Is not, in some rases, get- Ing it "under false pretense, or at eat a privilege that is abused. This tendency, it lias been noticed, has been on tho increase within recent years. In order to ret at the facts in tne case, to learn definitely if the gen oral attitude of the medial profes sion is to increase or decrease the use of alcoholic liquors in treating disease, and to establish a rough standard, rule or guide showing the average quantity of alcoholic liquor now used by the best authorities on medicine, the Secretary of the State Bor.rd of Health wrote to a number of the best hospitals in the country, and to all the physicians of the State who have been officers of tho State Medical Society during the last five years, and asked them to give defi nite facts as to the number or pa tients they treated in a year, togeth er with the total amount of liquor prescribed. A great many answers were receiv ed. From th?se ll was found that for a total or 186,052 patients treat ed during ono year, a total of 601 gallons of whiskey and brandy was prescribed. This, reduced down, proved to be an average of about three-fourths of a tnblespoonful per patient during the entire year. This result, from such a large number of cases from the practice of reputable physicians and hospitals, can only be construed as being an Index as to what constitutes good practice In re gard to the use of liquor as medicine. From the replies received to the letters of inquiry, ' two important points were brought out: 1. A great many of the doctors stated that they were using much less liquor now than they did from to 10 or 15 years ago, and that, too, patients were more successfully treated than when more liquor was prescribed. 2. It could not but be noted that, in general, doctors who had receiv ed their degrees in medicine within the last 10 years were prescribing a great deal less liquor than doctors who graduated prior to that time. A great many of the very best doctors of tho younger set prescribe no liq uor whatever. From these two points It appears that unmistakably the tendency In the best medical practice of the pies ent day is to decrease rather than in crease the quantity of liquor pres cribed. One of the most striking features of the whole matter Is that while the BEST medical practice both in the State and in large hospitals outside the State shows a strong tendency to decrease the amount of liquor pres scribed, yet the actual amount of liquor prescribed by the profession as a whole Is believed to be largely Increased during recent years, and it will be noted that this increase is coincident with the more rigid en forcement of our prohibition laws. In view of the facts in the case it Is plain that some sort of remedy Is needed for the present drug store liquor trade. It must be admitted that very few, if any, physicians vol untarily prescribe much of the liquor that Is now bought at drug stores. Much pressure is brought to bear upon them by a certain class of pa tients, whereas if the doctors had some good, concrete argument to fall hack on which would appeal to this class of people, they could, without causing offense, 'avoid doing what their consciences decree Is wrong. In other words, we believe that a reme dy for such conditions would be more welcome to doctors than to any one else. Followed Him for Days Recaiise He had Stolen Her Diamonds and Fi nally l-anded Him on Street Car. New York Herald. Scores of persons' in a Fifth ave nue elevated train in Brooklyn yes terday afternoon were astouished to see a slim, demure looking girl sud denly dart from her seat as the train pulled into the Thirty-sixth street station, grasp a large man by the cout tails and scream for the police. Several men went to her assistance and held her prisoner until Police man Culkin appeared. In the police station the girl said she was 3iiss Estelle Reeb. twenty- one years old. and that the man was Peter OrtloiT. She said he had been a lodcer at No. 1,028 Jefferson street. where she lives with her mother, and had absconded with six diamond rings valued at $1,000. "This man came to our house sev eral weeks ago," she related to Lieu tenant Busby, "told my mother and me he was a nurse in the Bushwlck Hospital rnd wanted to rent a room from us because we lived near the hospital. We let him have the room and appeared to be an ideal boarder. Almost every evening he would sit with us and sing hymns. We trust ed him implicitly, for he seemed to be very religious. On April 2nd he did not come home in the evening, and when I looked for my rings I found they were gone. Then Miss Reeb and her mother went to the hospital and heard that Ortloff was not employed there. "I determined to find him," the girl continued, "and have searched for him every day since. I went to see everyone he had ever mentioned, and, getting no trace of him, I was almost discouraged until late this afternoon." She said she was on a Myrtle ave nue train going into the Bridge street station when she saw Ortloff standing on the opposite platform waiting for a train. "I hastened to the other side and Just got the train." she said. "As we rode along I kept my eyes glued on him until we got into South Brooklyn. Then I went to the guard and told him to blow his whistle when we came to the Thirty-sixth street station. The guard refused to do it, and my talk with him attract ed the attention of Ortloff. I sat down, hoping he would not recognize me. He did, though, and started to ward the platform when I graiped him.'' ,. Ortloff was Indignant at the charge The police say he has a record.

I., Dispatch April 5th The body of Frank Mueller, once ono of the wealthiest property own ers of Suffolk county, with that o his son, William, six years old, was found early this morning in the rooms in which they lived over Hirth's, a grocery store, in Peconic avenue, in this village. From the position of the bodies and the furniture In the room the police are convinced that Mueller killed his son and then rut his own throat with a razor. A razor was found in the room with Mueller, and form the stains on the floor it was evident that he had walked about the rooms after having cut hi3 own throat. Mueller suffered financial reverses which swept away practically all his property eighteen months ago, and with his family of a wife and three children moved to Deruyster, N. Y A year ago Mrs. M"ueller, Mi two of their sons. Earl, twenty-one years old, and William, returned to the old home here. The third son was reported to be away at school. Six months, ago Mueller himself returned, but instead of going to live with his family he took rooms over Hirth's store. He often called on his wife and children and was seen frequently in the streets lead ing little William by the hand. The lad went to stay with his fa ther for several nights, last week and early yesterday the older boy Earl, went over to the rooms. He got no response to his knock on the door, and after calling assistance, it was broken open. The body of fa ther and son were found In separate rooms, and near that of the elder man was a bottle of laudanum, some of which the police believe Mueller had drank. Coroner Cornwall was notified and took charge of the bodies. He will hold an autopsy today. Mueller was well known throughout Suffolk coun ty, and had Just annuonced to his friends that he was fitting up an apartment In Riverhead, in which he hoped to get his family together again.

(Editorial in The State Journal by R. F. Beasley.) The papers have been full for some days of news and views about proposition of Mr. J. B. Duke to build, a huge system of warehouses over the South for the purpose of handling the cotton crop. We fancy this plan will eventually go the way that the round bale scheme for mo nopolizing the handling of cotion some years aro. l.ut it is upon tne surface so plausible, so apparently beneficial, as possessing of economic worth, that the South will for a while be deceived as to its tendencies. But it ought to be called a "plan to stran gle the cotton growing industry and ritle the pockets of the corpse." In stating our position it is not necessary for us to question the mo tives of Mr. Duke. We may admit that he Is actuated by a wholesome desire to benefit both growers and lanufaeturers. We admit that the plan has some of the elements of ec onomic necessity. We admit that it has some of the points along which here will be an eventual and useful development. It has, in f;ict, almost to a perfect degree, the two clement? of a good trust and a bad trust. That Is it proposes to secure a saving in expense by organization on a large scale which can cut out many wastes of the present unorganized svstem of handling. That is a nat ural development and anything which can do this should be encouraged. ny plan which does this in any line of bu3iness as a natural development and not as a result of secret privi lege, direct cr Indirect, is to be en couraged. But the only thing in the world which can determine the value of this principle is free competition in the same field. The other clement which this plan of Mr. Duke's has, and which usually goes along wi'h the first, is the feature of monopoly secured by the arbitrary power out side of the field of natural develop ment and economic service and de rived from control of a direct or number of indirect privileges to which outsiders have no access. We submit as a reasonable and fair in ference, that a man who, like Mr Duke, has made his millions out of an unhealthy monopoly of one Indus try. and who is fast securing a mo nopoly of the present most important development In the South, would nat urally be chiefly attracted by the possibility of a monopoly oi cotton handling. Though his plan presents some features of economic, saving, it is no injustice to Mr. Dukke and his allies to think that their eyes are glued rather to the main chance which is the securing of an arbitrary power over the sale and handling of a crop that yearly brings millions upon top of millions of dollars into the South. Mr. Duke proposes to enter Into an agreement with the cotton farm ers by which he undertakes to do everything necessary to the market Ing of the crop. But the plan con templates that after the farmer rolls his cotton off at tho door of the warehouse he will have no more con trol over it than the spider has over the oak tree to which hla thin line of silk is attached. Now, this would not be harmful provided the farmer was left free to patronize the ware house or not. But with the full sue cess of the plan he would not be left free. The tendency would be to make the one warehouse system the sluice through which whole cotton crop must be run, and when 'once this had become the recognized agen cy by the manufacturers, transporta tion companies, financial and other agencies, the individual farmer who did not wish to patronize tho compa ny would have no other recourse. He would have to drop his little bale of cotton Into the hopper which Mr, Duke and his financial friends of New York and London controlled Just as surely and securely as he has to drop his nickel into the slot of Mr. Duke's street cars before he can en ter and take a ride. We are not sure, in fact, that Mr. Duke did get his warehouse idea from his nickel in - the-slot-before-you-cnter-the- car Idea now in vogue on his street rail ways. The tendency to force the market Ing of the whole crop through thi one warehouse system would be irre slstable. . The independent buyers now cn every local market would be wiped off the slate with the first stroke. The warehouses would, of course, be situated near the railroad right-of-way, and nt most convenient places for handling. Thus the rail roads would eventually be allied with the warehouse company in discour Ing the handling of cotton in any other form than the recognized chan nel. The privilege of financing the thing on their own terms would be In the hands of a coterie of financiers who would gradually demand that others keep their fingers out of the pie. The mills would go to the ware house to buy, for there they would find the most cotton, and not having to be troubled about buying ahead they would buy at their own bids, This would be a powerful factor In helping to solidify the trade Into the one ordained sluice. Eventually the financial interests controlling the warehouse would become more and more influential with the financial interests of the manufacturers. In short, the cotton industry, which has heretofore remained competitive on account of its wide distribution would be so solidified that one huge Interest would soon control it, and 'ompliments Mr. Morrow Post mas q ter Apinted A Successful Catch of Mice.
