Too Much Knife ! The use of the surgeon's knife Is be coming so general, resulting' fatally In such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm.

IIIh Career lu Politic and Iluslnusi. Philadelphia, Feb. 28. William M. Elntrerly died suddenly at his residence, 1701 Locust street, yesterday afternoon. Heart disease was the Immediate cause of death. Mr. Slngerly had been Buf fering for about ten days from a cold, and had remained at home since last Wednesday, although his Indisposition was In no way serious. While sitting In his bedroom smoking a cigar he was seized with a violent lit ot coughing, and Immediately afterwards fell over dead. In the room at the time were Mr. Slngerly's grnnddaughter, Miss Mabel Slngerly Meredith, and two ser vants. His son-in-law, James S. Mc Cartney, hnd left a few moments be fore the sudden end came, leaving Mr. Slngerly apparently In good health, apart from his slight cold. The physicians say they had fre quently cautioned Mr. Slngerly that his heart was weak as a result of ex cessive smoking, and of late his cus tom was to take a "dry smoke." Yes terday, however, his cigar was lighted, and It is thought that tho smoke brought on the coughing spell, the se verity of which ruptured a vessel of tho heart. Mr. Slngerly leaves a daughter, Mrs. 13. Slngerly Balch, who is at present touring Europe. William M. Slngerly was president of Tho Record Publishing company, presi dent of the Chestnut Street National THE LATE WM. M. SINGEItLY. bank and the Chestnut Street Savings Fund and Trust company, which re cently collapsed, and persldent of the Slngerly pulp and paper mill. He was a member of the Falrmount Park com mission, and until lately its treasurer, and a trustee of the Philadelphia Com mercial Museum. Mr. Slngerly was born In this city on Dec. 27, 1832, and, with- the exception of a brief period In his early manhood, when he canducted a commission busi ness In Chicago, has lived here ever llnce. His father, Joseph Slngerly, was one of the originators of the street railway system of Philadelphia, and William returned here to assume the nanagement of the Germantown Pas senger Railway company. In 1877 h,e l.ought The Record, then a compara tively feeble Journal, and brought it to lfs present standard. In 1877, upon the retirement of Gov ernor Pattlson from ofllce, Mr. Slngerly took an active part In establishing tho Chestnut Street National bank, of which the ex-governor became the first president. Upon Mr. Pattlson being called for a second time to the gover noshlp of Pennsylvania Mr. Singerly succeeded him as president of the bank, and also became president of the Chestnut Street Trust and Savings Fund company. In seeking relaxation from the cares of business Mr. Slngerly had for many years taken a keen Interest In farming and stock raising. His herds of Hoi steln cattle at his large farm at Gwn edd, In Montgomery county, were fa mous for years, and he was also owner of the Elkton stock farm, near Elk- ton, Md. Mr. Mngerly was always an active Democrat. In 1801 he was unanimous ly made the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, and entered with great energy Into the canvass, speaking In nearly every county In the state. In all he made over 70 speeches in upholding the cause of the Democ racy. The natural Republican major ity of Pennsylvania was too great to be overcome, however, and his com petitor, Daniel H. Hastings, carried off the prize. During the last national campaign Mr. Slngerly supported the Palmer and Buckner ticket, making a number of speeches In its behalf In Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and organiz ing a local association In aid of the movement. He also took an active part In forming the Pennsylvania Bankers' association. Financial misfortune overtook Mr. Singerly during the last few months of his life, when, on Dec. 23 last, the Chestnut Street National bank and Trust company were compelled to close their doors. Messrs. Earle and Cook were made assignees of the Trust com pany and managers of a plan looking to the liquidation of the affairs of both institutions. Since then a receiver has been appointed for tho bank, and the affairs of it and the trust company are In process of settlement.

Since the big strike about ten years ago. during Which It Is said nearly 10.000 'longshore men quit work, their unions have been dissolved and sweeping reductions In wages followed. They dropped to 20 and 25 cents an hour, and even at these prices old 'longshoremen found work hard to obtain.

It is claim ed that the strikers In the Pepperoll, Laconla and York cotton mills will re main out until they are starved In. This seems to be the situation at the beginning of the seventh week of the strike, and there Is no prospect of a settlement for weeks to come. Both strikers and mill management remain Arm, and Indications of a settlement by arbitration seem remote. The strike has already caused a loss in wages of nearly $200,000.

The British steamer Legislator, Captain Tennant, bound from Liverpool for Colon, was burned at sea Feb. 16. The fire broke out on Feb. 13, and burned fiercely for three days, during which time Fireman Thomas Hoberts was burned to death, Second Olllcer James Bateman and Seaman 'William Angell were drowned by the capsizing of a boat, Third Of ficer Martin and Chief Steward John Gaffncy went adrift In anther boat, and Chief Cook Fred E. Lee, crazed with fearful burns, Jumped overboard. The rest of the crew of 30 men, with two passengers, Dr. William K. Morti mer and wife, of London, were res cued by the fruit steamer Flowergate and brought to this port, arriving here yesterday. Four of the crew. Chief Engineer John Troughear, Second En gineer John Ilolden, Fourth Engineer Hobert Milne and Seaman Charlei lb bltson were so severely Injured that they were taken to the Marine hospital upon arriving at this port. Golden is not expected to live. The suffering of those who survived the fearful three days In which they were tossed about by the waves, while explosion after explosion threatened to send the fire eaten steamer to the bot tom, makes a tale seldom equaled In the annals of the merchant marine. The Legislator left Liverpool on Feb. 3 with a miscellaneous cargo, Includ ing phosphate, cotton goods and per cussion caps, for Colon and Central American ports. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred until 4 o'clock In the morning of the 17th, when without warning an explosion took place from a hatchway forward of midships, fol lowed by a tremendous outburst of smoke and flame. All the firemen and engineers but one came tumbling on deck, some of them more or less burn ed. The missing man was Thomas Koberts, and it was not until two days later that his charred body was re covered, during a lull In the fire. The crew were badly handicapped in fight ing the fire, as the hose and pumping engine were disabled or consumed. Soon after the fire started it spread so rapidly that the forward part of the boat, on which were seven men, was cut off, and Captain Tennant ask ed for volunteers to rescue the re mainder of the crew. Second Officer Bateman and Seaman William Angell at once offered to row along the side of the ship and bring the men aft. One of the boats was launched with difficulty, as there was a heavy sea running, and by careful work managed to reach the almost doomed men. All were finally taken on board and the boat dropped astern, but before the nine men could be pulled on the afterdeck a tremendous sea capsized the small boat, and every man was thrown Into the water. After their heroic work Bateman and Angell were the only ones who were not rescued. In the mean time, through some confusion, another boat was launched, and In It was Third Officer Martin and Chief Steward John Gaffney. Another big sea swept them away, and they have not been seen since. The fighting of the flames still continued, and as the fire reached the boxes of percussion caps there were almost constant explosions. In one of these Fred E. Lee, the chief cook, was so Beverely burned that he Jumped overboard and could not be saved. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the lGth the steamer Flowergate, bound for this port, hove In sight. Two boats were Immediately lowered from the Flowergate, and after three hours all of those on board the burning vesel were safely transferred. Captain Ten nant was the last to leave. Some of the crew saved a part of their cloth ing, but a majority of those on board lost everything. Tho rescue was none too soon, for as the Flowergate started her engines the fire was bursting from the after decks of the Legislator. The Legislator was burned to the water's edge. The dead are Chief Steward John Gaffney, Second Officer James Bateman, Third Officer William Martin, Chief Cook Alexander Jenkins, Seaman William Angill and Fireman Thomas Roberts. Chief Engineer John Traughear, Sec ond Engineer John Ilolden, Fourth En gineer Itobert Mlln and Seaman C. Ib otson were severely burned.

"What Shall c flan Qlvc? " The solemn question couies Home to almost, every man at some period in his career. "What will you give iu ex: change for your life ?

Just as an honest man feels that nothing of earthly value can be weighed against his soul so a man who has one friend to love him knows that life is too precious to be bartered awav for am. bition, or money, or pride. Hut men are slow to believe that over work sometimes kills; a man hates to ad mit that his health ever needs any particu lar care.
