Rams Kaiser Wilhelm Der 4^rosse in British Channil 4 Details of the DIsk : aster. *' ^ Cherbourg, France.--In a terrifle col­ lision between two ocean liners Wed­ nesday night 13 -lives were lost and a number of passengers and members of the crews were injured. The crash m which the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was struck by the British royal mail steamer Orinoco, disabled the former vessel so that it had to abandon the voyage to New York and both it and the Orinoco aire In the roadstead here. The damage to the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse is estimated at $200,000. Details of the collision show thalt It occurred at nine o'clock at night. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the Orinoco both were bound from South­ ampton via Cherbourg, „ the one for New York and the other-for West In­ dian ports. The shock was terrific, causing a panic among the passengers on board the vessel, especial!# among the emi­ grants. On the Orinoco three men and a woman were killed and six women and a man were injured, and five per­ sons were thrown overboard and drowned. When the collision occurred the Kaiser was steaming at the rate of 17 knots an hour. The Orinoco was bound for this port. The commander of the Orinoco asserts that he sig­ naled that he was going to starboard of the North German Lloyd vessel, but that the latter held her course across the Orinoco's bows and went to port of the Orinoco only when it was too late. The engines of the Orinoco, it is said, were reversed as soon as it ap­ peared that an accident would occur, but she crashed into the starboard bow of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, making a breach 12 feet wide. The stem of the Orinoco above the water h'ne was carried away as the vessels cleared after the collision. The shock threw all the passengers on the Kaiser from their feet. The grinding of the Orinoco's bow into the steerage of the German vessel instant­ ly killed four persons, among them a girl 11 years old. The captain of the Orinoco ordered boats to be cleared away, but the panic on board was general. Some of the crew jumped Into and launched two of her boats and several frenzied women attempted to get into them as they were being lowered over the side. One boat was swamped when It struck the water. Steamer Sinks; 42 Drown. Seattle.

FINED FOR GIVING REBATES: Is there nothing which the microbe regards as sapred? It has been a pre­ vailing belief that the fresh-laid egg was the perfection of pure and health­ ful food. But here come some scien­ tific disturbers of our peace of mind to warn us that the fresh-laid egg Is dangerous--that it may have become inoculated With micro-organisms which are It menace to health. Really, this seems to be carrying things a little too far.

MORMON PROPHET FINED PRESIDENT SHIITH GUILTY ^ UNLAWFUL COHABITATION. la Sentenced to Pay $300 After Ex- . plaining His Plural Marriage Relations. Salt Lake City.--Joseph Smith, president of the Mormon church Fri­ day afternoon appeared in the district court before Judge Ritchie and plead­ ed guilty to a charge of unlawful co­ habitation, and a fine of $300 was im­ posed. The charge under which the Mor- man prophet was arrested and fined was based on the recent birth of President Smith's forty-third child, born to his fifth wife. President Smith addressed the cburt. He stated that his last mar­ riage was in 1884. All his marriages, he said, were entered' into with the sanction of his church, and, as they believed, with the approval of the Lord. According to his faith and the law of the church they were eternal in duration. He concluded: "When I accented the manifesto Is­ sued by President Wilford Woodruff I did not understand that I would be expected to abandon and discard, my wives. • Knowing the sacred coven­ ants and obligations which I had assumed by reason of these marriages, I have conscientiously tried to dis­ charge the responsibilities attending them, without being offensive to any one. I have never flaunted my fam­ ily relations before the public, nor have I felt a spirit of defiance against the law, but, on the contrary, I have always desired to be a law-abiding citizen. % In considering the trying po­ sition in which I have been placed, I trust that your honor will exercise such leniency in your sentence as law and jsutice will permit" Judge Ritchie imposed the maxi­ mum fine, but omitted the jail sen­ tence of from one day to six months, which he might have imposed under the Utah statute.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of the blood. It is necessary^ therefore, to treat it through the blood if a permanent curs is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is ia the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr . Wil­ liams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be­ cause they go directly to the seat of ths disorder, purifying and enriching ths blood.
