DEATH IN THE SEA

British Steamer St. Rsgulus Runs
Down Sdanish Steamer Enero.
ONLY THREE ESCAPEl) DROWNING
Too Affrighted to Understand the Efforts of
the British Crew to Save Them, tha
Spanish Crew is Engulfed.
TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.
Home Destroyed and Father and
Daughter Killed and Mother Bad*
|y Injured.
London, Nov. 3—The Britstjj steamer
St. Regulus, Capt. McMullten, from
Shields for Alexandria, has put in at
Gravesend. She reports having col-
lided with and sunk the Spanish
steamer Enero, Capt. Delgado, from
Huelva, Spain, Oct. 22. With the ex-
ception of three members, the crew of
the Enero were drowned. The acci-
dent occurred Friday night off Dun-
geness.
The captain of the St. Regulus says
that when the vessel struck the Enero
he gave orders for full speed ahead
with the idea of keeping the two ves-
sels locked together and thus enab-
ling the crew of the Spanish ship to
board the St. Regulus, but either they
were too greatly alarmed to do so or
they failed to understand his purpose,
and instead of climbing on board the
British ship, tried to lower a boat
with the result that a number were
thrown into the sea and drowned. The
Enero sank in a few minutes. The
explosion of her boilers probably kill-
ed many of her crew.
The St. Regulus was badly damaged,
a large hole being stove in her stem.
The Enero was an iron steamer of
'1322 tons net register. She was 282
feet long and was built in 1898 at New-
icastle-on-Tyne. The Enero was own-
ed by the Compagnia Bilbania de Nav-
igacion of Bilboa.
Judge Reagan Hurt.
Palestine, Tex., Nov. 3.—Saturday
morning while Judge and Mrs. Reagan
were returning home after a visit in
the city the horse they were driven be-
came frightened at a switch engine
and ran away, the vehicle coming in
contact with a telegraph pole. The
judge was thrown violently to the
ground and received several bad
bruises. Mrs. Reagan also received
some bruises, but no serious ones.
Chicago, Nov. 3.—A dynamite bomb,
the weapon of a deranged assassin,
blew up the home of Jos. Kordeck in
Chicago Heights Sunday, killing two
members of the family and injuring
several others. The house was set on
fire and burned while that of a neigh-
bor caught fire and was also destroy-
ed. The dead:
* Jos. Kordeck, arms and legs blown
off.
Lucy Kordeck. aged 2 years, body
blown to pieces.
The injured: Mr a. Lucy Kordeck,
flesh blown off right side, injured in-
ternally, may die. Several children
who escaped were injured, but not se-
riously.
The explosion occurred while the
family was asleep. The bomb was
placed under the room occupied by
the parents and the impact of the ex-
plosion tore a hole in the floor, blew
the bed to pieces, disembered Kordeck
and scattered into fragments the b Ay
of Lucy. Pieces of flesh the size of
a man's hand were the largest rem-
nants of the child's body that could
be found. The noise aroused the rest
of the family and they had hardly time
to escape from the flames which soon
destroyed the cottage.
Charles Smith, a former boarder at
the Kordeck house, who was paying
attention to one of Kordeck's daugh-
ters, has been arrested, charged with
the crime. The Kordeck girl was to
have been married to another man next
week. Smith declares he is innocent,
but neighbors declare that he made
threats to them that if the girl refused
to be his wife he would blow up the
entire family with dynamite. Smith
was absent from his room at the time
of the explosion. His roomate, Thomas
Kobolinski, says Smith returned to his
room greatly excited shortly after the
explosion.

Murdered by Neglect.
Waco, Tex.: The dead body of an
Infant, 3 or 4 days old, probably the
progeny of a colored mother of mixed
blood, was found early Saturday morn-
ing on South Second street. The child
was thinly clad and died from exposure
after being left at night in the open
air.
Walter Peay Killed.
Tyler: Walter Peay, car repairer
for the Cotton Belt here for many
years, died Sunday as a result of be-
ing run over by a box car. His left
leg was mashed off and he died three
hours later from the shock. He was
a widower 39 years of age and leaves
two children.
Paris to Palestine.
Sulphur Springs: The building of
a railroad from Paris south via this city
to Palestine is being discussed. The
line as suggested by business men is
practicable and would probably be a
paying one.
Support will be furnished in a sub-
stantial way. Rights of way, depot
grounds, in fact, every possible assis-
tance will be given to develop the line
at an early date.
A Negro from Forney Pounded into
Insensibility.
Dallas: Reuben Chafin, a negro,
aged about 40 years, was found wan-
dering about the streets Sunday night
holding a handkerchief to an injured
head. He was taken to the police sta-
tion where a physician was summon-
ed.
It was found that the negro had
Bustained a fractured skull from a
blow with a rock of considerable size
which was found with blood upon it
near where the negro was located. The
rock struck him upon the right eye-
brow, cutting a bad gash.
He became worse in a short time
and was taken to the city hospital,
stating before this that he was from
Forney and that he did not know who
struck him or where it was.
Houston: The Texas Negroes' con-
vention, held in this city for the pur-
pose of uplifting the race, finished its
labors Friday.

Unkind Comment Made on Unfortv.
nate Lawyer's Story.
A young lawyer who had only hung
out his shingle some months before
came into the office of a friend, who
had already made some money and
quite a reputation at the bar. As the
elder lawyer saw the visitor enter he
said inquiringly:
'Well, how are you getting along?
You look sort of seedy. You don't
want to get that way. No matter how
much you get behind in your accounts,
always put up a good bluff and dress
well. A lawyer who looks seedy shows
by his looks that he can't be doing
much business, and so a stranger don't
have any confidence in him."
"Glad you give me some frank ad-
vice," said the young barrister. "That's
t'he reason I came around to see you.
And now that you have spoken about
my looking seedy, I want to tell you
an experience I had this morning. I
was buying some bananas here in Park
Row, and standing alongside of the
pushcart pedler, when a well-dressed
man came up to me, and holding out a
dime said:
" 'Here, give me a half dozen ban-
anas quick.'
"Now, what do you think of that?"
"Why," said the prosperous mem-
ber of the bar, "he thought you were
earning an honest living. That's all."
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
RARE JOY FOR A FIEND.
Two
Mean Man Causes Mix-Up of
Messenger Boys.
A small messenger boy ran down
Fifth avenue this morning, caroling a
blithesome tune, his small heart at
peace with all the world. Some thirty
feet behind him sped a second boy,
likewise at peace with all creation,
and whistling as he trotted on. Upon
the sidewalk stood a heartless man,
nibbling a large apple, and apparently
the last person in the world to pay
any attention to jche doings of a mes-
senger. The boys passed him, and,
with a malevolent grin, he raised his
hand. The half-eaten apple whizzed
through the air, passed over the head
of the rearward boy, and smote the
leading lad full in the neck, and dis-
tributing its core, pulp and seeds over
his shoulders and inside his collar.
With a yell of surprise and rage
the insulted youth whirled around,
and the second boy ran into him. The
apple-battered one let go a fierce right
jolt upon the innocent lad's visage,
and then they closed. For five min-
utes they battered each other all over
the sidewalk, while two telegrams
fluttered in the trampled mud, and
the heartless man, holding his ribs to
prevent absolute demolition, howled
with glee.—New York Exchange.

New Railway For North Texas.
Dallas: C. C. Waller of Houston,
president of the Velasco, Brazos and
Northern, which recently acquired the
Dallas and New Mexico, was in Dallas
Saturday. It is announced that he
leased the first and fourth floors of the
Jennie building and will establish
headquarters here. It is also announc-
ed that it is his intention to at once
begin construction work on both the
roads.

WITH A ROCK.
Owing to high prices of many com-
modities used by the state in its va-
rious institutions, supplies are being
bought largely for the month instead
of for t&a year, as heretofore
New York: During the month of Oc-
tober the total new capital of incor-
porations in eastern states was $244,-
550,000, compared with $195,194,900 in
September, $241,879,550 in August and
$469,856,400 in July. The fact that
last month's total exceeded that for
September was due to the amalgama-
tion of the Atlantic shipping interests.
Deducting the capitalization of the
shipping combination, $120,000,000,
there would be left the smallest
amount for any on© month this year.
The aggregate capitalization of com-
panies chartered in the eastern states
during the month with a capital less
than $1,000,000 was about $23,000,000.
Girls Thought Someone Inside Was
"Houldin' the String."
Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from the mosquitoes of Ellis Island,
had set out to make their "return
calls" on their cousins, the McGooli-
gans, at service in an aristocratic part
of the city. Upon arriving at the
house, instead of being confronted by
the usual bell knob, nothing but a
stingy, mean apology of a knob in the
shape of a little black button met
them. Bridget got hold of the button
and gave it a pull, but her fingers
slipped before there was any audible
ring from within. Again and again she
tried with the same result, until she
turned the job over to "Nonie." Then
the latter yanked and twisted without
success, until both stood on the land-
ing gazing helplessly at each other.
Then light came unto Bridget.
"I'll tell you phwat it is," she said.
"They're playin' th' joke on us fur

An' as fur me, I'm glad I got a chance

Sometimes the scene's a joyful one, an'
then agin it's sad;
Some of the folks you see are good, an'
some are purty bad.
I often wish that I could help the en-

Instid o' simply sittin' out in the ad-

But even though my part in the occa-

I'll still congratulate myself on gettin'

And when at last the lights are out an'

There'll be no kick a-comin'. 'Twas a

Heroic Army Nurse.
A recent general order issued by
Gen. Chaffee in the Philippines
brings to public notice a heroine in
the person of Army Nurse Alice Kem-
mer. While on leave she learned that
a nurse was needed for two smallpox
patients in the isolation hospital at
Manila. Though she had never had
the disease she relinquished her leave
and volunteered for the duty. For
two months, April and May, 1902, she
was. shut up with these patients, liv-
ing in the room with one of them, an
officer's wife, while the other, an en-
listed man, was in an adjoining room.
In intensely hot weather, without a
relief, on duty day and night, she
nursed them both back to health and
with them was finally discharged from
ths hospital.
I. The Book of Judges.—The Name.
This book is so named because it is the
record of the exploits of some of the
leaders, heroes, champions, and deliver-
ers of Israel during one marked period
of their history, extending from the Con-
quest of Palestine to the period 'of the
kings. "They were mora like Peter the
Hermit and Jeanne d'Arc than like Ro-
man dictators."—Seelye. In most easel
they gained their authority by theii
great personal qualities and executive
powers, shown by their military success
in delivering the people from the op-
pressors.
The Period of the Judges. According to
1 Kings 6:1, there were 480 years between
the Exodus and the commencement of
the Temple in the fourth year of Solo-
mon's reign. Deducting from this the
40 years in the wilderness, 25 years of
Joshua in Canaan, and 20 or 40 for Saul's
reign, 40 for David's reign, and 3 years of
Solomon's reign, the period of the judges
would be 480 — 148 = 382 years (or 480 —
128 = 352 years), including the judgeships
of Eli and Samuel up to the beginning of
the reign of Saul. Of this about 280
years belong to the book of Judges. But
if we add together the numbers given
in Judges they amount to 410 years.
II. The Death of Joshua.—Vs. 6-9. 6.
"And when Joshua." On the life and
character of Joshua, see Lesson 1 of this
Quarter. "Let the people go," as in
Josh. 24:28. It therefore probably refers
to their departure from the great meet-
ing in Shechem after his farewell ad-
dress, and their solemn covenant.
7. "Served the Lord all the days of
Joshua." So deep was the impress of
this great and good man upon the na-
tion. "All the days of the elders." Those
who were leaders by reason of age and
ability. This implies some kind of at
least local political organization. "These
elders would be old enough to take part
in the war of Canaan twenty-five years
before, according to Judg. 3:1, 2; and
therefore reckoning from the age of
twenty to seventy, we cannot be far
wrong in assigning a period of about
fifty years from the entrance into Ca-
naan to the death of the elders, or twen-
ty or twenty-five years after the death of
Joshua."—Cook.
8. "And Joshua . . . died." Ys. 6-9
are a repetition of Josh. 24:28-31, with
slight variations.
9. "Buried him ... in Timnath-
heres" (or Serah in Joshua), in the
mount (hill country) of Ephraim, "about
nine miles south of Shechem."—Geo. Ad-
am Smith.
IV. The Fall into Sin.—Vs. 11-13. 11.
"And the children of Israel did evil."
They first forgot God (v. 10). Their faith
lost its reality and power. The decay of
faith is the prelude to the decay of mor-
als. "In the sight of the Lord," in the
presence of his commandments, and in
view of his works of goodness, and his
past punishments of sin. The sin was
treason towards their God. It was re-
bellion to his face. "And served." "The
true religion is a service of love and rev-
erence; but all false religion is a service
of supervision and terror. The impeni-
tent often think tirat by refraining from
being Christians they escape service;
while, on the contrary, they serve Satan,
who is a cruel master and whose wages
are death."—Johnson.
12. "And they forsook the Lord."
Probably not all, but enough to repre-
sent the nation. "The grand success of
the reformation achieved by Samuel, and
such glimpses of Hebrew life as are giv-
en in the book of Ruth, seem to imply
that, as a whole, there was always a lat-
ent religious life in the mass of the peo-
ple, needing only to be roused and puri-
fied."—Geikie. "Which brought them out
of the land of Egypt." Who had done
such wonders for them; to whom they
owed their very existence as a nation.
This is stated to show the ingratitude,
the folly, and the treason the Israelites
committed in forsaking God. "And pro-
voked the Lord to anger." "They exas-
perated Jehovah." There was no passion,
no vindictiveness, but grief and indigna-
tion, an inteusfe feeling against sin. The
people he wished to save refused to be
saved. The people for whom he was do-
ing great things, for whom he was seek-
ing a glorious and blessed career,
through whom he would save and uplift
the world, were basely casting these
pearls away, and like swine trampling
them under their feet.
V. What God did to save and Restore.
—Vs. 14-16. First. He made them suffer
the Consequences of their Sins. 14. "The
aager (indignation) of the Lord was hot.*
What had seemed dull and tame to them
blazed up in a fiery flame. The more
intense the love, the more intense also
the indignation. If the feelings against
sin do not flame and burn, then the love
also is a feeble thing.
Second. "He delivered them," or pun-
ishment. Their enemies were only the
instruments in the hands of God. From
whatever source the punishment of sin
comes, it is from God. "Into the hands
of spoilers." Those who took the spoils
of war; also robbers, plundering bands.
"Ancient warfare was always attended
by the greatest cruelties; it was always
predatory; the property of the people was
taken away, and the people themselves
carried in bonds as slaves. Modern war-
fare is sufficiently horrible; but the an-
cient was tenfold more horrible."—John-
son. "He sold them." For the sake of the
spoils which attracted them, the fruits
of Israel's prosperity, the nations were
allowed to gain victories over them, "so
that they (the Israelites) could not any
longer stand before their enemies." Lux-
ury and vice weakened them, disobedi-
ence lessened their patriotism, conscious-
ness' of wrong took away their courage
and' manliness, their turning from God
aroused jealousies and caused divisions.
They ate of the fruit of their own doings
and were filled with ftheir own devices.
Second. He gave them Deliverance. 16.
"Nevertheless." God punishes his people,
but he does not destroy them. As soon
as his discipline has led them to repen-
tance and to a better life, he delivers
them from the evils their sins had
brought upon them. "The Lord raised
up," in various ways, by various means;
sometimes by a direct call, sometimes
by natural methods of his providence.
But in all cases it was the Lord who did
it. "Judges," deliverers. God by his good-
ness would lead them to repentance. This
is the motive God loves to apply to men
so long and so far as possible.
