S., May 6.-- Thirteen survivors of the British steamer Col- umbian, bound from Antwerp for New which caught on fire at from Livetpoel for Bos- ton. in the boat with the survivors Matthews. - Another boat, containing the chief and second officer and seventeen men [was still adfift. The Franconia cruised in search. . Those on board the Franconia are: James Drohan, wireless operator; Antowe Dlas, carpenter; Ivar Iver- son, boatswain's 'rate; Unguse Prinze, Jens Jensen, A. Abelnick, quartermaster; Gustav Schriborm, donkey man; Thomas Connor, Juri Lei and Arthur Brantik, able sea- man; Antony Cordones and Bennett Rother, firemen, and Frank Wede: kind, mess room steward. The survivors suffered terribly during forty hours' exposure in an open beat. = Their exhaustion was 30 great that it was impossible to ob- tain a coherent story from them sev- eral hours after they were picked up. The Columbian caught fire Sunday night when about 300 miles south of Cape Race. A series of viotent ex- plosions followed almost immediate- y. Captain McDonald ggve orders to wireless operator, James Drohan, te send.out calls for assistance, but one of the explosions put the wireless ap- paratfis out of commission, cutting off the Columbian from communica- tion 'with nearby ocean liners, With the vessel belching flames and torn 'by explosjous, it soon be- came evident that the crew could do nothing to control the fire and the order to abandon ship was given. The men left the Columbian in two boats. Chief Steward Matthews was in charge of the first. This boat put away from the steamer and lay to for a time, but in the dense smoke which surrounded the burn- ing vessel the other boat was not visible, and the steward's boat final- ly drifted far from the scene. On their sufferings during the forty hours. in which they were tos- sed about, and of the death of Chief Steward Matthews during this time, the men could say litfle when they were brought onto the decks of the Franconia. Food and sleep were matters of first consideration, and although sympa- thetic passengers were ready with offers of assistance to the ship- wrecked ones, Captain Miller of the Franconia saw to it! that they were first given the required rest. Having learned that anqther oat with nineteen nien, probably includ- ing Captain McDonald, was still missing and supposedly adrift. Cap- tain Miller ordered the Franconia turned about on a searching cruise. No 'trace of thé second bost- had been obtained late last night. ¢ The.Columbian was a cargo vessel of 5,088 tohis gross registry, 442 feet long, 45 feet beam aud 31 feet depth. She was builteby Harland & Wolf at Belfast fn 1890 znd was owned by F. Leyland and company limited, of Liverpool. The Leyland Hne is controlled by the International Mer- cantile Marine company, with offic in this city. The Columbian had né passengers on board. CHEER UNION JACK. "Flag That Saved Our Lives," Say. Americans, : New York, May 6.--A despatch pub- lished here under a New: Orleans date line, says : "To ++ with Bryan," was the shout .of 500 American refugees from Mexico on-board the steamer Mont- erey, when she reached quarantine to- day. Vigorous expressions of opinion concerning the secretary of state fol Jowed three lusty cheers by those Americans for the British Union Jack, Which théy all further saluted by raising their" hats to the foreign ensign, The demonstration occurred when one of the refugees, raising a. Bri tish flag, shouted, "I'm American, Hat I'in ashamed of my. country. Here's the fiag, men, that saved our lives." Two of the refugees told of horri- ble outrages on their women folks by Mexican soldiers. AUTOIST. WAS. FINED. For Running 'His Car Without a Number in City.

Herbert Bailey, editor of The Connoissetr, remarked the other "The general public man who made his living in this way left a fortune of $100,000 when he died, not very long ago. Mr. Bailey knows of a man who bought for $125 a picture of which he hitaself did not boow the value. A friend happening to see it, asked how much he would sell it for. "Six hundred pounds," was the reply, which was not meant to b: taken seriously. 'I will give you four hundred and fifty pounds," was the answer, and the picture changed hands. The increase in the value of anti- ques is due in a great measure to the wealthy collector, who is ready to pay a fabulous sum for anything that takes his fancy. Referring to cur- fous collections, Mr. Bailey mentions that there has been rather a craze for collecting death masks lately. Anoth- er great quest of the collector is a miniature of a gingle eye, and he him- self possesses a most exquigite minia- ture of Mrs. Fitzherbert's eye. There are people, too, who collect pole heads which used to be carried at the head of the now defunct village club processions, and their value has increaked to such an extent that, whereas a little while ago they could be had for sixpence each, they now cost from 30s. to £2. Another new idea is the collecting of brass ornaments worn by horses, One man has over a thousand, and the interest lies in the fact that they, will soon disappear. Farmers very often hand the brass amulets of their horses down from generation to gen- eration, and it is interesting to recall that in olden days these brass orma.! menty were regarded as mascots to ward off the evil eye, and as a safe- guard against accidents or death. "Little Jack Horner." "Little Jack Horner," the familiar nursery rhyme, had its origin in a real tragedy. During the Reformation, the head of Glastonbury Abbey in the west of England resolved to make his peace with Henry VIII, and, in token there of sent certdin title-deéds of abbey property to the King at Whitehall, For security's sake, the abbot placed the documents in a pie dish, and eov- erad them with a crust. The dish he gave to a rustic lout, named Jack Horner, and he told him to carry it by thé high road to' the King 'in London, / - Y On the road, Jack Horner became hungry, and came to the conclusion that it would be foolish to starve while he had a pie in his hands. So he broke the crust and put in his} thumb and pulled out a roll of parch- ment. The disgusted and disappoint- ed fellow threw both pie and parch- ment into a nearby brook. When the deeds did not appear, the King charged the abbot with con- tumacy, and commanded that the ur-|. fortunate cleric should be hanged: ekg meena Puts Boys on Farm. Since the beginning of * 1913 the State of Victoria, Australia, has tak- en 1,850 boys between sixteen and twenty years of age from England. All these boys have been granted steamship passages at less than half the minimum fare, which is $87.60, and they have been given a Govern ent guaranty of farm work immed- ately upon landing in Melbourne. Hitherte both Australia and Canada have been following the policy of try- ing to take only experienced British farm workers for the agricultural work of the Dominions. Australia now takes any healthy boy of good character of all classes and calling and guarantees to place him with a good farmer at $1.82 to $3.65 a week, according to efficiency, in addition to board and lodging.

FORMULATE A POLICY the Growth of Wealth and Neglect of Self-Sacrifice for the Cause of Religion. London, May .6.--Rev. Dr. Gillies, new moderator of the Presbyterian church in England in his presidenti- 14) address sald: "Have we as a church any policy? If not, ought we not to beg, borrow, or steal one to-day? Amid a whirl of conflicting forces Jesus still holds the central place in human life. On that foun- dation of trath the church must take its stand, but camnot be blind The ad- vance of Christianity in Japan, the | emancipation of Turkey, the awak- {I ening of China, the spread of the ll} spirit of peace in the western world are events whose significance earfly underestimated. At home the church is sorely pressed by mater- ialism, which has laid a chill hand on men's spirits. The tide of faith to ebb, yet never was the spirit of God more manifestly, more widely at work. The kingdom of heaven is at our door. Only by sac- rifice can the challenge of the age be met here. Ministers must lead. The day cannot be far off when we will be ashamed to draw large stipends or at least to spend them on oursel- ves, and we be rich while the cause of Christ is poor, we be at ease while others suffer and stint."
