SAD PHASES OF
TITANICWRECK
Pathetic Partings of Wives and
Children from Husbands.
LOSS IV! AY TOTAL $35,000,000
Greatest Marine Loss in the History of
Navigation—Many Insurance Com
panies Hard Hit and Will Be
Materially Advanced.
New York.— Of all the sad phases of
iha loss of the Titanic none was more
pathetic than the final parting of the
wives and children on board the ill
fated steamship from husbands and
lather's as they bade them a last fare
well. All realized that the number of
lifeboats was inadequate to provide
for half of the passengers and before
they were launched all hope had been
abandoned for the arrival of aid be
fore tha Titanic went beneath the
waves.
Force had to be used by the officers
of the steamship to tear wives from
husbands when it came time for the
women to take their place in the life
boats that swung from the davits. The
women begged, to be allowed to re
main and share the fate of the men
who were left on board, but 110 heed
was paid to their plea.
The last glimpse the women and
children got of their dear ones was as
the full complement of passengers
were placed in the lifeboats and they
swung out and dropped from view 'to
the waves below.
Equally tragic is the separation of
families, both in this country and Eu
rope. Wives returning to America aft
er a winter's stay in Europe and men
hurrying to their homes alter business
trips abroad are among those who
went down with the steamship.
Marine headquarters say the loss of
th Titanic is the greatest of marine
disasters. The estimated insurance
loss for hull, cargo, baggage and life
insurance is placed all the way from
120,000,000 to $36,000,000.
Brit'sh underwriters will have to
bear '.lie greatest part of the loss,
though much reinsurance was placed
in Germany, and American underwrit
ers probably will have to pay most of
the loss on cargo. One Wall street
authority says the Titanic carried $3,-
000,000 in diamonds and $25,000,000 in
rubber, besides securities and specie.
The vessel herself was insured for
$6,000,000, divided among the large
marine insutVuice companies of the
world. She was valued at $10,000,000.
William A. Prime, Vice President of
Wilcox, Peck & Hughes, said: "This
loss, comings so on the recent
loss of $5,000,000 in bullion which
went down on the Ocean means a ser
ious matter for many of the insurance
companies and is likely to affect the
prosperity of most of them."
A representative of the United
States Lloyd's said: "1 regard the
sinking of the Titanic as the greatest
loss in the history of marine insur
ance. Still, the loss need not cripple
anyone. Single members of Lloyd's
of London who took risks too large
for them to bear may ha\e to suffer,
but in the general run the risks have I
been very widely distributed."
Nearly every large marine under- j
writer in New York is said to have '
carried a full line of insurance 011 the j
Titanlc's cargo, the value of which is
problematical.
It is generally predicted that the ;
rate of marine insurance risks will be 1
materially advanced on account of the j
Titanic's experience.
25,000 FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Many Are Without Food or Shelter
in Louisiana.
New Orleans.—Reports from the
most conservative sources show that
25,000 flood victims in northeastern
Lousiana and the southeastern corner
of Arkansas are homeless and with
out food or adequate clothing. Man) |
are without shelter of any kind, whilt
hundreds still sfre marooned in de
verted dwellings, barns, trees or on I
rafts.
Too add to the suffering and in- j
crease the danger of further levee
breaks, a rainstorm, almost a cloud i
burst, swept Louisiana, Mississippi:
and Arkansas.
The engineers say that it will be a
miracle it the levees do not give way
at many other points.
FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
Massachusetts House Again Ratifies
Income Tax.
Boston. —The Massachusetts House
by a vote of lit! to S»4, on a roll call
adopted resolutions ratifying the pro
posed amendment to the United States
Constitution relative to the taxation
of incomes. The resolution will have
to run the gauntlet of the Senate,
which last year killed it U.v one vote.
'OHIO REJECTS THE RECALL.
Constituional Convention Decides
Against Proposal.
Columbus, Obio.--By a vote of 50 to
48 the Ohio Constitutional Conven
tion expressed disapproval of the re
call proposal, which has been pending
before it. The vote is taken to mean
the retirement of the proposal in com
mittee. Convention officials say the
proposal now rests with the commit- '

FARM IN SCHOOL
; AS STATE STUDY
' Plan to Teach Agriculture in
Rural Public Institutions.
I INSTRUCTIONS ON INDUSTRY
? I Instruction as to Trades Supplement
ed with Knowledge of Crop Grow
ing—lnvestigation Shows Need of
Education in Farming Practice.
i (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.)
' I Harrisburg.—The study of agricul
' : ture may be inaugurated in the public
1 '< schools of the State, especially in ru
-1 ! ral high schools, during the coming
j winter as a result of an investigation
into the practicability of installing it
; now being made by the Department of
! Public Instruction. This investigation ]
! into conditions and facilities, as well
as into the needs of such education, I
■ \ has been in progress for several I
! months under the direction of Dr. N. j
C. SchaetTer, State Superintendent of j
1 Public Instruction,and he plans totake !
tip the matter. Under the school code !
Dr. SchaetTer was empowered to ap- J
point experts in industrial and agricul- i
tural education and drawing, the ap- '
point merit of the agricultural branch I
; being given to Professor L. 11. Dennis, !
!of State College. The plans are to 1
have a survey made of the State with j
reference to the needs of various lo
i calities and the financial resources of j
districts where such education is i
found to be advisable. Professor Deti
; nis has been visiting many counties, .
having covered practically all of the i
j agricultural counties, and the results j
of his investigations are to be taken !
up this spring. Supplying of this
j branch of education, which has been
urged bv various organizations tor sev
eral years, is largely one of finances
as is the case in the matter of Indus- |
trial education. The State officials
' hesitate to .install the courses unless j
assured of tfie ability of the districts 1
to employ first-class teachers, and !
with this in view the subject is to be '
carefully gone into. Many requests i
j for both industrial and agricultural I
; courses have been received and com- j
| mittees of the State Grange will con
fer with Dr. Schaefl'er later in the
month. The State Board of Education
has already received a number of re
quests for the plans of model school
I houses and information as to the best
methods for sanitation in rural district
school properties and for information
I as to the uniform system of accounts
! which the Board lias recommended.

No Crime to Kiss Her.
That it is not a heinous crime to 1
! kiss a pretty neighbor was the de- ! ]
| cision at Allentown of a Lehig't (
1 Couniy jury which passed on the ]
assault and battery case in which ,
David Llewellyn was accused by Mrs. ; ]
Hattie Wert. Mrs. Wert is good look- ; ,
ing. with coal black eyes, and appear- ' |
ed in court dashingly dressed. She ,
declared Llewellyn, coming to borrow j .
a clothes horse, had taken the ad- I
vantage of her being alone and given
j her a resounding smack. Llewellyn |
j owned up, and in a delicious Welsh 112
accent said: "She looked so pretty ' |
j that I did kiss her." The jury came j
jto the conclusion that the kiss prob 1
| ably didn't hurt Mrs. Wert much. ,

NEW "ANGEI"
FORBAD BOYS
He Believes in Supplementing
Good Work of Courts.
LUDEN OPENS HIS PURSE
Efforts Similar to that of Judge Lind
sey of Denver, Tried in Berks
County—Of 29 Cases 21 Wert
Succesfully Treated.
READING.—Five years ago the
Juvenile Court established in Berks
county, not for the purpose of punish
ment, but on a plan similar to that
of the first Juvenile Court, in Amer
ica, as planned by Judge Lindsey, of
Denver, Col. With it came the pro
bation officer, and tlie bad boys of
Reading began to see a "new star of
hope" in the horizon that skirts Mts.
Penn and Neversink. When Judge
Endlich made his first report on this
work he spoke of 2!) cases of bad
boys that had been referred to him,
and 21 of these were successfully dealt
! with—put to school or at work —and
placed in the road to succesful man
| hood, instead of graduating down
ward into lives of hardened crimin
; ality. Judge Endlich then became
President Judge of Berks county, and
Judge Wangner not only presided
i over the Juvenile Court, but lie im
j mediately became the "boy's friend",
i and if any one man in Berks county
| knows the true value of a boy with-
I out friends or home it is Judge Wag-
I ner. Once he was a homeless orphan
boy himself, and to Bethany Orphans'
j Home and to the Christian character
jof Wagner as a boy the boys of
i Herks County owe much. The next
| public friend of the boys, who announ-
Iced himself In their favor, was Mayor
i Stratton, and he urged in his message
to Councils when he became the city's
ruler that what Reading needed was a
i "farm school" for the boys whom the
, Juvenile Court placed in the hands of
the probation officers. William H.
Ludeu is now the man of the hous, who
has opened liis purse for the benefit
of the boys. When he learned of the
I good work of the Juvenile Court and
| of the willingness of Mayor Stratton
to further the good cause Luden ofl'er
j ed to the city $2500 to make a begin-,
j ing to establish some sort of a home
j in or neat; Reading, or a farm, if
i deemed advisable, where the boys of
. Berks county, under proper care ajid
j supervision, can work out an honor
j able future that will lead them away
j from the Courts, instead of bringing
i them back again and again, and that
j will be a God-send to them, instead of
I the horror of going to a reformatory,
| or probably in after life to the peni
j tentiary.

. THE VALUE
1 OF A DEFINITE
, MESSAGE
By Rev. H. W. Pope,
Supcrintaodcnl of Mm of Moody Bible Institute.
' Chicago
TEXT-Tills then Is the message which
we have heard of Him, and declare unto
you.—X John 1:6.
The world has always been willing
to listen to a man with a real message
T~""1 from heaven.
* Since the days of
j John the Baptist
whenever anyone
V has ma nif e stly
fffsfet been sent from
iiiwifMill God, and has
Tpaff borne witness of
V j the truth, the peo
j pie have turned
j out to hear from.
j Luther in his day,
and Wesley and
, their, were recog
nized as true mes-
AVilliam Carey brought another
| great thought from heaven, and Rob
| ert Ralkes another. In our own land
Dwight L. Moody and Francis E. Clark
and Frances Willard have each been
the bearer of rich messages from God.
All these have met with stout opposi
tion, for "My thoughts are not your
thoughts, saith the Lord," and yet
eventually their message has been re
] ceived, and has been incorporated in
i to the life of the church.
One accent of the Holy Ghost,
j The heedless world hath never lost.
That God has messages for the
church of today no one can doubt.
Never was there an age which needed
: divine wisdom more than ours. Great
problems confront us, great dangers
threaten us. Many of God's people
seem dazed by the difficulties before
them, and cry out in pitiful tones,
"Who is sufficient for these things?"
, | Instead of waiting upon God for a re
newal of their strength, they resort to
, j all manner of worldly expedients to
i gain the attention of the fickle crowd.
Others recognizing clearly the same
difficulties and dangers are clamoring
loudly for "A man with a message."
Why should not every Christian be
"A man with a message?" Was it not
said of our day,"l will pour out my
spirit upon all ftesh; and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy,
■ and your young men shall see visions
' and your old men shall dream
dreams?" Was it not said of all be
■ lievers, "Ye shall be witnesses unto
me?"
How to Obtain a Message.
There are grave difficulties in the
! way of even those who are busiest in
I the service of God. This is an age of
i hurry and worry, and unless we are
very careful we shall fall into the spir
) It of the age, and allow ourselves to
• be robbed of that, quiet and repose
j which is essential to a deep acquaint
; ance with God. Somehow we must
[ set time to be alone with God, time
j to let the truth as it is in Jesus filter
j down through our being until our
whole life is saturated with its spirit.
So shall we come forth from our
closets each day with the dew of
heaven upon our hearts, and with a
fresh message upon our lips. "He that
hath an ear to henr, let him hear what
the spirit saith unto the churches."
-Avoid the Danger.
It 1b a dangerous thing to know
God's will and not do it. And one of 1
the most perilous things a Christian !
can do, is to try to hold his own sim
ply, and not go forward into the deep
things of God when thus led by the !
! spirit. I have read of a Christian man i
who became so engrossed in his busi
ness that he largely lost his fellow
ship with God. After a while his busi
ness began to fail; lie found that in a
few weeks the vein of coal from which
he had been drawing his supplies
would be exhausted, and «U his invest
ment would be useless. He was also j
impressed that his business troubles j
were due to his departure from God, ,
and this led him to much prayer.
One night In a dream a voice seemed I
to say to him, "Go deeper." It seemed ■
to him to be the voice of God, and it !
led to an entire transformation of his
life. As he entered upon a closer ;
•walk with God his heart was filled I
■with new joy and power. But still the !
voice kept speaking to him so per
sistently that he began to think it had !
something to do with his business. !
And so one day he proposed to his '
foreman that they should abandon the i
old veih of coal, and sink a new shaft
■with a view of finding a deeper store.
The foreman ridiculed the idea for all
the indications were against it. But 1
he Insisted and at length a shaft was
sunk, and after they had gone down
a reasonable distance they struck, not
a vein of coal, but 10, an immense
vein of iron, and suddenly the bank
rupt miner found himself a million
aire.
Is not this God's message to us to
day, "Go deeper?" If we have ex
hausted all the satisfaction and power
there is in our present knowledge of
truth, let us enter into the deep things
of God, depths of wisdom.
Dwell deep, O my aoul, deeper yet, hour
by hour.
Dwell deep, deeper yet. In his fullness of
power.
You can never tall by the length of
a man's face just what he will do In
a horse trule.
