GRAPHIC STORY OF WRECK The Great Liner Titanic Went Down With 'ae Her Band Playing A despatch from New York says: --~ . ~The Cunard liner Carpathia, a ship oe | gloom and succor, came into New York on Thursday night with first news direct from the great White Star liner Titanic, which sank off the Grand Banks of New- 3 \ _ foundland early on Monday morn- x ing, the 15th inst. The great liner went down with a Age her band playing, taking with her ce to death all but 745 of her human cargo of 2,340 souls, SIX OF RESCUED DIED, To this awful death list six per- sons were added, One died in the life-boats which were put off from the liner's side and five subsequent- ly succumbed on the rescue ship - Carpathia, The list of prominent men missing stands as previously reported, and the total death list, as brought to port Thursday night by the Carpathia, is 1,601. Survivers in the lifeboats*hud- died in the darkness at a safe dis- tance from the stricken ship and ess saw her go down. As to the scene on board when the liner struck, ac- counts disagree widely. Some maintain that a comparative calm prevailed; others say that wild dis- order broke out and that there was a maniacal struggle for the life- boats, That the liner struck an ice- . berg, as reported by wireless, was confirmed by all. SENSATIONAL RUMORS. Sensational rumors told by hys- terical passengers who would not give their names, said that Captain wei Smith had killed himself on the bridge ; that the chief engineer had taken his life, and that? three Ital- ians were shot in the struggle for the boats. These rumors could not be confirmed in the early confusion attendant upon the landing of the survivors. Ripped from stem to engine-room by the great mass of ice she struck amidships the Titanic's side was laid open as if by a gigantic can- opener. She quickly listed to star- board and a shower of ice fell to the forecastle deck. TITANIC BROKE IN TWO. Shortly before she sank she broke in two abaft the engine room, and as she disappeared beneath the wa- ter the expulsion of air caused two explosions which were plainly heard by the surviyors adrift. A moment » more and the Titanic had gone to ~ her doom with the fated hundreds grouped on the after deck. To the survivors they were visible to the last, and their cries and moans were pitiable. GRAPHIC STORY. E. Z. Taylor, of Philadelphia, one of the survivors, jumped into the sea just three minutes before the boat sank. He told a graphic story as he came from the Carpathia. "J was eating when the boat struck the 'iceberg," he said. "There was an awful shock that made the boat. tremble from stem to stern. I did not realize for some time what had happened. No one seemed to know the extent of the accident. We were told that an iceberg had been struck by the ship. I felt the boat rise, and, it seemed to me that she was riding ever the ice. I ran out on deck and then I could see ice. "Tt was a veritable sea of ice, and the boat was rocking over it. I should say that parts of the iceberg were eighty feet high, but it had been broken into sections, probably by our ship. "T jumped into the ocean and was picked up by one of the boats. I never expected to see land again. I waited on board the boat until the lights went out. It seemed to me ~ that the discipline on board was wonderful," i Ae oe HEROIC CONDUCT. A young English woman, who re- quested that her name be omitted, told a thrilling story of her experi- ence in one of the collapsible boats which had been manned by eight of the crew from the Titanic. The boat was in command of the fifth doftticer, H.' Lowe, whom she stated saved the lives of many people. Before the lifeboat was launched, he passed along the port deck of the steamer, commanding the people x not to jump in the boats and other- 4 ~ wise restraining them from swamp- ing the craft. When the collapsible was launched, Officer Lowe succeed- ed in putting up a mast and a small : sail. He collected the other boats oe _ together. In some cases the boats ee were short of adequate crews, and he directed an exchange by which Bees each was adequately manned. He eee threw lines connecting the boats to- cer 4 gether, two by two, and all thus ' -moved together. Later on he went : one of the boats and succeeded in picking up some of those who had 'Ming about. On his way back to oe the Carpathia he passed one of the point of sinking with thirty passen- gers aboard, most of them in scant just in the nick of time. Some died on the way to the Carpathia. Geo. A. Brayden told of how Cap- ¢ tain Smith met his death. 'I saw _ water. He was standing on the deck all alone. Once he was swept get his feet. Then, as, the boat sank, he again was knocked down ed from view." * | » back to the wreek with the crew of jumped overboard and were swim- * collapsible boats which was on the . night clothing.

A despatch from Montreal says: It is now certain that eleven Mont- realers lost their lives on the Titan- ic. Owing to their prominence in the financial, industrial and social life of Montreal, the whole city is plunged into mourning. Following is the latest revised list of those lost and those saved :-- THE LOST. Mr. Chas. M. Hays. . Mr. H. Markland Molson. Mr. and Mrs, H. J. C. Allison and daughter, Lorraine. Mr. Thornton Davidson, Mr. Quigley Baxter, Mr. Vivian Payne. Mr. R. J. Levy. Miss Anne Perrault. Mrs. Hays' maid. THE SURVIVORS. Mrs. ©. M, Hays. Mrs. Thornton Davidson. Mrs. James Baxter. Mrs. Frederick C. Douglas. Hudson Trevor Allison, Eleven months' old son of Mr. H. J. Allison. GEO. E. GRAHAM LOST. A despatch from Toronto says: A private wire from New York on Thursday night "from Mr. Harry McGee, of the T. Eaton Company, stated that Mr. George E. Graham, buyer for the T. Eaton Company, was not on the Carpathia, and was to be numbered amongst those drowned. The word was received by the late Mr. Graham's brother, who lives in Toronto. In the list of survivors as received by wireless Mr. Graham was mentioned as among those saved. ple net OFFICIAL INQUIRY. New York, April 10.--The official Government inquiry into the wreck of the Titanic began this afternooa at the Waldorf-Astoria, with Sena- tor-William Alden Smith of Michi- gan as Chairman of the United States committee conducting the injuiry. The first witness called was J. Bruce Ismay, President of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine. He was severely interrogated by the members of the Investigating Com- mittee. Though obviously ill, he answered every question succinctly. He said ke always accompanied his company's liners on their maiden voyages. He was in bed when the collision took place and did not see the iceberg. "How long did you remain on the injured ship?' he was asked. "That would be hard to esti- mate,"? he responded. "Almost un- til she sank. Probably an hour and a quarter.' Deseribing how he left the Ti- tanic, Mr. Ismay said he only look- ed round once. The boat was afloat at that time. : = able speed for a ship of that size and in that course?' "T did not know the ship," the Captain said, "and therefore can- not tell. I had seen no ice before the Titanic signalled us, and I knew from her message that there was ice to be encountered... But the Carpathia went full speed ahead. I had extra officers on watch and some others volunteered to watch ahead throughout the trip.") ; Captain Rostron was asked about the lifeboat with but one officer and one seaman in it. This was the boat from which Representative James A. Hughes' daughter, Mrs. L. P. Smith, was rescued. At least two women were rowing in this boat. In another lifeboat he saw women at the oars, but how many he could not tell. One boat was described as overcrowded, having on board the passengers from a wrecked lifeboat.

I was rowing in the life- boat all the time until we were picked up," he continued. Mr. Ismay said there was no ex- plosion on board. He estimated the speed of the ship when she struck at twenty-one knots. If the ship had struck head-on she would have floated. Capt. Rostron of the Carpathia said that when they found the Ti- tante's boats they were in the ice- | field. "By the time I got aboard day was breaking. On all sides of us were icebergs, some twenty were 150 to 200 feet high and there were numerous small icebergs or 'growlers.' Wreckage was strewn about us," he said. The committee is seeking to prove that the Titanic's boats belonged to another vessel. Asked concern- ing this, Capt. Rostron said they were towed away last night; where he did not know. * "What was the last message you got from the Titanic?"? asked a Senator. "The last message was, 'Engine- room nearly full of water.'

"In pressing trousers,"* said the tailor, s"the first thing you want to do, before ironing in the creases, is to take, out the bagginess at the knees. To do this you turn the trousers inside out and spread each leg on the ironing board, not as you lay them to press the creases, but exactly the other way, crosswise, from seam to seam, and then you lay on the damp cloth and press in the usual fashion with the hot iron. By this pressing you shrink the wool fibres of the eloth together again, where they had been punched out at the knees; you take out the bagginess; and then you turn the trousers right side out again and press for the creases." ets surmounted by bronze groups re- | Ewart Gladstone.

The stomach is a patient organ ; it usually does its duty without com- plaint, even when outrageously abused. But once its patience is tried too far, and it acquires the querulous habit, no amount of pla- cating will quiet it. No patient is so dreaded by the doctor as the chronic dyspeptic. In the first place, he does not always find it easy to determine just where the fault lies. On the one hand, the symptoms may not suggest stomach trouble at all; the patient may be convinced that his heart is at fault, and even the doctor may be deceiv- ed at first into the same belief by the palpitation, shortness of breath, giddiness, and pain in the left side, although these are not infrequent signs of a rebellious stomach. On the other hand, the symptoms of in- digestion may be due not to any fault in the stomach itself, but to a reflex disturbance excited by eye- strain, spinal disease, or some other trouble in a part remote from the digestive apparatus. In a case of chronic indigestion, the first thing to do is to make sure eases. The next thing is to deter- mine whether there is serious dis- ease of the stomach--such as ulcer or tumor. In most cases of "heart- burn" or "acidity," there is no or- ganic trouble--merely a failure on the part of the stomach to empty itself promptly, and perhaps a de- the contents of the stomach to fer- ment. Very simple measures often suf- fice to give relief, such as the sip- ping of a glass of water half an hour or so after meals, or a gentle rub- bing-of the abdomen just below the ribs on the left side, which caus- es the stomach to contact and emp- ty its contents into the intestines. The diet should be regulated, ifoods hard to digest should be avoided, and the meals should be taken at the same time each day, and at not too frequent intervals. Of course constipation, if present, should be corrected, and some sim- ple stomachic may be necessary. But if the heartburn does not yield to the treatment suggested, the physician had better be consulted, for the condition may be serious.-- Youth's Companion. THE STARCH-EATING HABITA A medical man calls attention to the fact that the practice of "eat- ing starch to improve the complex- ion'? has still a considerable vogue amongst factory and workroom hands, and also shop' and office girls. The belief, common amongst this class of people, that eating starch produces a pale and weaken- | like complexion is a very old stand- jing one. It has passed down from | generation to generation, but the | chief effect of starch-eating is to | cause indigestion and the unheal- thy pallor of the consumptive pati- ent. The best recipe for a good, natural; healthy complexion 1s plenty of fresh fruit and air, and a liberal diet of vegetables and milk. +h WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT.

Wood, of thé chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins University, on Wednesday. 'It is altogether im- probable that any of the corpses will ever return to the surface of the water, as is the case with bod- jes drowned in shallow water. At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water is something like 6,000 pounds to-the square inch, which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases that are gener- ated in time. ; "That the bodies sank to the bot- tom of the sea there is no _ues- tion," he continued, "The Titanic's victims who were not carried down with the boat followed until the very, bottom of the sea was reached, There was no such thing as their stopping in their downward course a half mile, a mile, or at any other point. "Great changes have necessarily been wrought in the vessel itself by the enormous pressure to which it has been subjected. No effect was produced on any portion or com- partment or room to whose inside as well as outside walls the water has access. In such instances the pressure from one side neutralized that from the other. But wherever there was an air-tight or water- tight compartment the 6,000 pounds to a square inch pressure of water had crumpled those walls of the vessel as if they were tissue paper."

For practical wear navy blue is much in favor. The way of the one-sided trims ming is still with us. Odd colors are especially popular just now in millinery. Every other corsage Marie Antoinette effect. Brown hats are being worn with tan colored cloth costumes. Gray marquisette sometimes veils dresses of checked taffetas. ~ Pique is one of the most popular materials for summer wear. Silver fringes are a favorite fin- ish to gray chiffon overdresses. Double and triple skirts are fash- ionable for lingerie dresses. Violet velvet faces some of the graceful hats of amethyst straw. Graceful picture hats of straw are large as to brim as well as crown. Panniers are plentiful; they un- doubtedly betoken wider skirts for the future. The tailored straw hats are ac- ceptable to those women who pre- fer plain styles. Brocaded silks, not in the large, but in the small and delicate fig- ures, are to be in great demand. For dinner gowns and evening wear nothing is so popular as the lace trimmed chiffon or satin gown or pure white, with one glowing note of color at the corsage. Long lines of small capricious bows are placed on skirts and bo- dices. Velvet ribbon, satin or silk are employed for these, with a buckle or button in the center. The all enveloping and disguising bell shapes in hats have given place to other hats of entirely different form, the broad, flat, picturesque hat being undeniably popular, Tissue eponge, or Turkish towel- ing, now appears in many colors, but its chief use is in white summer suits, and it will to some extent supplant serge and flannel for these. In this season's silks we find no- ticeable the combination of plain with changeable, flowered with stripes, bordered effects with plain and spotted panels with one tone silks, Among the leading colors are the various shades of tan, including champagne, hazel and straw, also nut and wood browns. Rose, Indi- an red, opal, limoges blue, shrimp and melon pink are the high shades. Ruffles and flounces appear ey- erywhere on frocks for every oeca- sion, narrow edged with lace, or deep, or graduated, or pointed, or scalloped, with posies and pert rib- bon bows tucking them up here and there. All of the new skirts are eut wid- er, and yet many do not measure any more in width than those that have been smart this season. There is a little more fullness around the upper part, and no good skirt draws in around the knees. is in the f.T.P. PART Y OPERATED Nearly Five Hundred Miles Of The Road Is Now A despatch from Ottawa says: Between the eastern and western ends of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, so far constructed, there is a gap of 490 miles upon whivit are yet to be laid to complete line through to the Paeitic coast. This is the report which is brought back by Collingwood Schreiber, C.M.G., consulting en- gineer for the Government, who has just returned from a tour of inspection of the G. T. P. Mr. Schrieber went through rails the as far as Tete Jeunne Cache, a point}, fifty miles beyond the Yellowhead Pass. The line is now railed for 278 miles west of Edmonton--name- ly, to a point 30 miles west of Yel- lowhead. From Prince Rupert eastward rails are laid for a dis- tance of 164 miles.-. The intervening gap does net present any very dif- ficult engineering problems. In fact, Mr. Schreiber says, it is probably the lightest section of the mountain district. From the western termifi- us of steel grading is completed for Opened which portion of the line track-lay- ing should be finished by the end of this month. Beyond that again there are some cight steam shovels at work upon the grading. At the other end the contractors are work- ing up to the 245th mile east of Prince Rupert, or within a mile or two of the village of Aldermere. While there appears to be no actual scarcity of labor, the eontractors are somewhat hampered by its un- settled condition. '{'The men come and go in hundreds," said Mr. Schreiber, Although the Grand Trunk Paci- fic is now being operated for public traffic from Winnipeg to Fitzhugh, a distance of 1,028 miles, on the eastern end, and 164 miles, from Prince Rupert at the west end, this mileage does not figure in the of- ficial statisties of completed rail- way. The reason is that the road is being operated not as the com: pany's line, but-in the public inter- est as a contractor's unfinished road, that being the extent of the permission granted by the Govern- a further distance of 25 miles, over ment. ¢ Sood
