Good attendance, good interest and good addresses characterized the open: ing session of the Bible Institute in Sydenham Street Methodist church last evening. Rev. C. E. Manning took the chair and called on. Rev. A E. Lavell for a report of last year's vear's institutes. He reported a paid membership of nearly 300, and a very successful season. Expenses were al most met, The instructors receive no remuneration, but this year the ag gregate expense would be over $500, This is met solely by the dollar mem Whether the institute would become permanent or not would largely be settled by the re sults of this vear's experiment. If it was financially too great a failure and did not even pay expenses, the authorities would infer that it was not desired. He hoped, therefore, that at least one hundred would take ad vantage of the privileges of member- ship in Kingston. Dr. Crummy was cordially welcomed back by the audience. He gave his introductory lecture on the Babylon ian period in Hebrew htory. Jt wes scholarly, inspiring and interesting. It consisted mainly of a historic sketch leading up to the reign of King Josiah. He was followed by Rev. A. J. Ir win, who created such a favorable im pression last year. His course is on the letter to the Galatians, To nun derstand this we must study Paul, the Jewish Christian church, and the jeo- ple of Galatia. He confined his frst address to the Jewish church. All the earliest chyrch was Jewish, The great contest of Paul was with those © who thought it must remain a Jew sect He conived it as universal. The let ter to the Galatians shows his posi tion in this contest. A short disenssion followed, partici pated in by Prof. Jordan and others The institute will hold three daily through the week, closing Friday evening. The hours are 10 to 12 am; 3 to 5 pm, and 8 p.m. Dr. Crummy and Mr. Irwin speak eac! evening, Mr. Irwin each day also at bership fee, sesdions Il am, and Dr. Crummy each day at i p.m. Mr. Lavell speaks at 10 a.m., on "The Sunday School Teacher,' and at 3 p.m. on Pope Gregory VII St. Bonard and St. Francis of Assisi on a study of mediaeval revivals and their lessons for us.

Craft Shattered By Storm---Crew Clings for "Bays to Floating Hiillk--Only Two Survive Or- deal. Boston, Oct. 17-The tale of a ship- wreck in which cight seamen suffered so fearfully from exposure, hunger and them either died outright, were washed away, or, crazed By their experience, hurled themselves into the sea, was brought out by the two survivors of the erew of the coasting schooner Van Name & King, of New Haven, which was beat en to pisces by a gale off South Car olina coast on October 6th. The two men who were rescued by the schooner Stillman F. Kelly, which arrived hers late yesterday, are Wil liam Thomus and William G. Warner. The six who one by one succumbed were Capt. William A. Maxwell, Mate EA, at, the engineer, a colored steward and two colored seamen, Wil liam Grizell and Alfred Arthur. The Van Name & King, which has been sailing along the coast since 185C, left Charlestown, 8.C., for New York on October 3rd, with a cargo of hard pine. Two days later she ran inlg a heavy gale and after wallow ing in the great seas for several hours sprang a-leak. The pumps were start ed, but within a short time the engine room was flooded and the pumps choked. On Friday, October Gth, with her hold nearly full of water, the little chooner was hove down on her beam ends. The crew clambered up on the weather side and lashed themselves to the bulwarks. There they remained, sonked by overy cen that broke over them, all day, constantly on the watch for some passing vessel, That night the storm increased in fury, and one great waye crashed aboard, breaking both legs of Sea- man Arthur and sweeping Grizell into the sea. Arthur's edompanions could do noth- ing to ease his sufferings, but when, on Saturday, the schooner turned completely over; they managed to cut his laghings and drag him on to a piece of the afterhouse. It was 'several hours hefore they were all huddled together on their little raft. That night Arthur died in the arms of Capt. Maxwell, and relieve the overloaded raft his body wan dropped overboard. Sunday brought a ray of hope when a craft was sighted, but she passed by withont heeding the little group of frantic seamen, That night, however, the waves sub ided, and a little rain foll, which was eagerly canght in a tarpaulin and brought a slight relief. It was only temporary, and not long after Mate Chase's mind gave way, and the eraft was again lightened when he threw himself into the sen The next victim of the strain = was Capt, Maxwell, who, on Monday fore noon hecame violently intane and fol lowed his mate's example of self-de struction as a relief to his sufferings The spectacle of two men voluntar ily throwing themselves into the sea proved too much for the German en zinver, and a few hours after Capt Maxwell's death the raft was lightened for. the fourth time when the crazed ecamgn jumped into the waves The last - victim was 'the colored steward, who expired on the raft late Monday night and whose body was dropped overboard by the two re maining seamen Rel'ef came twelve hours later when the St'llman F. Kelly, bound up the coast from Ceylon, Ga., to this port, sighted the little raft and hove to alongside. Both Thomas and Warner had to be taken off in slings and for two days were unable to move CHIMNEY ISLE SOLD. Famous Spot Will /Be Used by | Sportamen.

The richest baby in the workl,"* whispered nurses and attendants last Wednesday when a daughter was born to Mrs. Herbert Henry Clay. It's the truth, for this mite of hu manity is the granddaughter of Wil liam Waldorf Astor, who will burden hor one of these days with a fortune of at least $100.000,000, while per haps one-tenth that much more will descend upon her from the father's side. Baby Clay will grow up with only a traditional recollection that she has American blood in her veins, Her mo. ther, whe was Miss Pauline Astor, was born at 8 East Thirty-third street in New York, but she was only a mise in short skirts when her father decided he liked England better than his na tive country. Since her tenth year Mrs. Spender Clay has paid ly two brief visits to America. Nevertheless, up to the time she married an Englishman she used to say, in spite of her father's renunciation of his American citizen- ship that she preferred to be known as an American. The marriage of Miss Astor to Cap- tain H. H. SpenderClay took place October 2th, of last year. HAD OBJECT IN LIFE. Arrested for Decoying and Rob- bing Germans. Paris, Oct. 16.~In Paris the police have discovered a woman whose pe culiar sort, of patriotism has been compared to Boule de SBoif in Guy de Maupassant's story. She was arrest ed recently for having robbed a Gor- man merchant of 8360. To the magis trate she made a strange declaration. She said that her main object in life was to decoy Germans and rob them, She went about with them to cafes and music halls and while affecting to be very interested in them she Poked their pockets. In this way she had an. nexed for several years past over 83. She had picked the pockets of ex- actly sixty-seven Germans and she was proud of it. As her reason for thus acting, the woman said that in 1870 her family in. Normandy had been completely rained by the German in- vaders, who stole her father's cattle, pigs. fowls and even plate. She was then obliged to go oul as a dai maid, but not being accustomed to wer: vice she came to Paris. and began wayluving and robbing Germans. The magistrate listened to this tale calmly, It evidently made no impression on him for he went the new Boule de Suif to the depot, there to await trial EX-CHAMPION IN HARD LUCK. Matty Matthews Who Made $100,- "Matty" Matthews, of New York, former welterweight champion of the world is "dead broke."

Matthews made ica tion to 'Thompson and Dundy Intely, In his boyhood days he had won some slight fame ax a jockey and he said he felt he had the courage and ability to take the dive into the big Miu. drome tank. He was given a, position and at today's performance went through his work without a hitch. Matthews lost the championship to "Rube" Ferve, in Toronto three years ago, after losing and winning from him in Detroit, and since that time has been on the down path. He won the championship from "Mysterious Billy" Smith, at the Broadway Ath Jetic Club, April 27th, 1900, His shave of the proceeds was 85.000, and, as an example of the rash way in which he distributed his money, he tells that the following day he placed $2,500 on a horse and lost it. SCOTLAND'S WHISKEY. 121,778,039 Gallons in Stock-- Consumption Decreasing. London, Oct. 17.--~Since 180899 the output of whiskey in Scotland has been reduced by 10,500,000 gallons. The figures for this year show a re duction of nearly 2000000 gallons, while 380,088 gallons have been added to the stock on hand, bringing the latter to 78,039 gallons. This condition to the stock on hand is not due to overproduction, but to a decrease in consumption. The opinion is general in trade circles that unless the consminption takes an upward tum soon the production of both malt and grain whiskey must be greatly re stricted, I'he reduction in consumption is al most entirely confined to the lowest grades of whiskey, On the other hand, there is an increase in the conmump- tion of the hicher grade in bottles, which will continue, The stamdardization of whiskey sooner or later will be enforced, This may be expected to cause some out- ery, but the trade in the end will bene fit by it. Tommy's Letter, Philadelphia Itguirer. tommy Mulligan, of the seventh grade, was absent from the class room for one entire day. It would appear that he had played truant, for, unknown to Tommy, his teacher had spied him trudging homeward with his pockets bulging suspiciously when she, too, was homeward bound that altérnoon. But Tommy brought a note of ex: ens the next morning, which, of conrse, would prove that he had been detained at home legitimately. The writing was hardly that of a feminine hand, and the note appeared to have been written laboriously and with much blotting: farthermore, the penmanship appeared to be strangely familiar to his teacher. The note read as follows : "Dear teacher Please exus Tomy for not comeing to shool yestiddy, he end not come, tore my pants. --~ Mrs, Mulligan." Hemry C whninghamy piano ?
