i In response to distress calls sent out
by wireless, the Clyde Liner Apaehe

sengers at sea. By the time the burn
- log ship 1iad reached the cape, the rev
enue cutter was standing by, and short
ly after the 'Berkshire had gotten into
the hook of the cape was pouring water
' into the burning hold.
Monday forenoon, after water
v ' had been poured in to the fore hold for
" over twenty-four hours, it was thought
.safe to take off the hatch jn order to
ascertain the condition of affairs below,
but as soon as the hatch was removed
flames and gas burst from the hold in
' sufficient force to tear the deckhouse
, nearby loose from its fastenings, and
he hatch ras replaced with great dif
ficulty. An officer of the Apache, who came
to Beaufort to secure provisions, let
slip the remark that he was afraid that
. ith all the help at hand, the ship
would be lost. The fire is still confined
to the cotton in the holds.

STRAW VOTE UNCHANGED.
Roosevelt's Wound Has Not Altered
Opponent Sentiment.
'.New York World.)
That Mr. Roosevelt has not 'gained
relatively in New York- and adjoining
States in his contest for the Presidency
since he was shot is the surface indica
tion of polls taken since that event.
The percentage of his vote in a total
of 1,200 ballots taken in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut show hiin
to be less strong relatively than he was
ifi the poll of last Sunday. In New Jer
sery his percentage has been increased,
naturally. He has fallen off slightly in
both'New York and Connecticut.
It is to be borne in mind that this
comparison is based Opon too few votes
to be taken as conclusive. It is present
ed merely for what it may be worth.
Other results of the comparison indicate
that Governor Wilson has lost some
what in New Jersey a W President Taf
has gained in each of t he three States.

HOLY NAME SOCIETIES OUT
Sixty Thousand Persons Knelt In
Prayer In Shadow of Wash
ington Monument
Washington, Oct. 21. Twenty-two
thousand "Holy Name Soldiers," carry
ing Stars and Stripes, silken "H. "N.
S." emblems and fluttering "H. N. S."
pennants, marched the streets of Wash
ington yesterday afternoon between
two walls of humanity, and 60,000 men,
women and children late knelt in
prayer beneath, the open skies, in the
shadow of Washington monument, in
a great demonstration against taking
the name of the God in vain.
This great demonstration against
blasphemy was given under the auspiues
of the Holy name Societies of the Arch
diocese of Baltimore. The parade jyas a
mile and a half long. It extended from
Union Staiton and the Capitol to the
monument lot. 'In the line were 7,000
men and boy members of the Holy
Name Societies of Baltimore and 1,500
from Cumberland, Hagerstown, Em
mitsburg, Frederick and other places
in Maryland. About 12,000 other
Baltimoreans and Marylanders came
to Washington to watch the parade
and take part in the services on the
monument lot. Washington Holy are
Nane Societies were also well represent
ed. There were 8,000 "soldiers" from
the district, 3,000 from Alexandria and
several thousand from Northern Vir
ginia.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
During the week of the Fair there will
be many visitors in the city and the
hotels will doubtless be taxed to their
utmost'eapacity. This will mean that
many of those who come to attene the
event will necessarily be compelled to
secure rooms at private homes or board
ing houses. If you have an extra room
it will pay you to fit it up to accomodate
two or more visitors. A small adver
tisement in the Journal will put this
information int the hands of all who
visit the Fair and who are in search of
a place to stay while in the city.
RALLY FOR SIMMONS.
A big rally and barbecue dinner will
be held at Dougherty's school house near
Dover, Friday, Oct. 25. Judge Owen
H. Guion, N. J. Rouse.W. D. Mclver,
Esq., and others will make addresses
advocating the re-election of Senator
Simmons to succeed himself. The com
mittee announces that all are invited
especially ladies.
A HUMBLE BOY HERO.
(New York World)
A great soul was lodged in the frail
body of the crippled newsboy who gave
his leg, and his Hfe, as it proved, to
save an injured girl by -skin-grafting.
As he lay dying on a hospital cot in
Gary, Ind., the brave lad, William
Rugh, is reported to have said: "I guess
I'm some good, after all."
We guess he was. He had in him
the stuff of which humble heroes every
where are made the stuff of a Little
Giffen and of brave fellows who go to
their death leading forlorn hopes in
batthj or perish nobly in fire-fighting or
in the perils of industry. He made the
great sacrifice, and a tribute of admira
tion may be paid him. t'.
