the Ink was dry upon It, having lit;
cartographers been so busy as they
have been In the past few years. As
a result of the Spanish-A rnerlcuu war
of 18'JS Spain lost all her territory on
the American continent, nnd the big

of Asia, while, as a consequence of thin
loss, she sold most of the rest of It
to Germany soon afterward. The Sa

the United States, England and Or
many around the same time, and then
a new deal was made between the two
latter countries. As a result of the
Boer war of 1899-1902 the republics of
the Transvaal and the Orange Fret
State have become British territory.
And now It Is understood that Portu
gal has sold her provinces in East
Africa, and that tliey have been di
vided between England and Germany,
each getting the section nearest Its
own previous territory. In this way
England secures possession of the Del

the two little Boer Rtates. Germany,
which began Its colonial ventures only
a little over a score of years ago, has a
new addition to Its already large co
lonial area, while England has added
to her holdings In the southern part of
Africa, and has narrowed the gap on
the east coast of that continent be

northern line of England's territory,
which will now be at the Zambesi.

The young ladles of a fashionable

must review a course In arithmetic.
" don't see any senae In it," said one
haughty maiden. "I don't know how
to subtract, and I don't know how to
multiply, but I. probably never shall
need to.

of ribbon and be sure you have the
correct change," said the teacher.
"Yes, Indeed:" was the reply.
"I
always know how to manage that,
I
give me tier a large bill, and
he
gives me something back."
A similar simplicity of method
Is
noted by the New York Evening Post

The candidate had applied for an
appointment as patrolman, and was
asked, "If you were In the vicinity of
the general postofilce, and wished to

"I should ask a policeman." wa the
answer, written apparently In rood

SHIPS SINK IN COLLISION
Coil-lsdea Schooners lo Down la Massachu
setts Bay-Ten Sil.ors browned.
Roston, Mass., Dec. 23.-Tbe Msn
ahasset arrived at 2:30 o'clock this
morning with ten of the survivors of
the crew 'f the schooners Frank A
Palmer and Louise 13. Crary, which
were In collision In Massachusetts
bay on Wednesday. Ten men ol
both vessels weie drowned in the
collision, tbe balance, lllfeen, taking
t one boat. Three' sub-equently
went insane and juuped., overboard,
two died from exposure and two
went Insane after getting ashore.
Hoth captains weie saved.
Toe Louise B. Ciary was a five
masted schooner. . They were both
coal laden, bouud for IJoston. At
o clock a. m. yesterday when the
Manahassett was forty-five miles cfl
Highland light, the lookout sighted
a small boat wltn nen who were
making signals of distress. Tbe Man
ahassett changed her course and bore
down on the craft, which proved t
he the boat which had been lanuched
from the Crary. Only ten of the
men aboard were alive and they were
almost helpless as a result of their ex
pos jre to the rigorous weather. Sut
urday night one man became crazed
by bis sufferings and shouting at the
top of his voice that the police were
after him, he jumped overboud and
disappeared. Four other members of
the little boat's company died from
exhaustion and the exposure to which
they bad been subjected.
All the survivors were frost bitten
and some of them will probably have
to have their feet and hands ampu
tated. Tbe Manahassett came into the har
bor early this morning snowing sig
nals for assistance and by the time
she arrived at the wharf ambulances
were ready to convey the sailors to a
hospital. Only six of the men could
be removed however. The other four
were in such condition that It wis
deemed Impossible tbev could sur
vive being taken from the vessel.
Two of the men on the Manahas
sett are Captain W, H. Potter of the
Crary aud Captain Bawling of the
Palmer. The other two men are
sailors, both of whm are raving
maniacs.
The men taken to the hospital
ere not only in a critical condition
physically, but they wpre in such a
mental plight that nothing could be
learned from them as to their exper
ience. Little by little, however, the
crew of the Manahassett had learned
something of the hardships of the
shipwrecked men.
It appears that the collision oc
curred at 7:30 last Wednesday night
Oir Cape Ann. The night was clear,
but a stiff gale was blowing and the
sea was running high. The members
of the Palmer's crew claimed that
the Crary was on the wrong trac
and In attempting to cross the Palm
er's bow, hit her on the bow, cutting
her nose square off and entangling
both vessels in the -reck. Tbe an
chor and bowsprit of the Palmer sank
away from the wreck, while the an-j
chor of the Crary was entangled In
the rigging of the Palmer and bn.ke
off the, foremast. The vessel began
to till and sank in a few mlnuies.
Tbe Palmer's men managed to low
er a boat. There was no time pio
cure provisions or additional cloth
ing. As the men cleared the wreck
they saw the Crary's men in the same
plight as they had been and made
room for as many as could reach tbe
boat. Fifteen souls were In the
small craft when It Anally pulled
away, hoth captains being among
those who thus escaped. A short
time after the beat left both schon
ers went down. Six men perished
when the vessels sank. For the sur
vivors a battle which lasted three
days and four nights had begun.
One-third of the number succumbed
In the tight and of those who Anally
reached shore Done was able to relate
what they had escaped.
The Crary was a comparatively new
vessel She was built at Hath, Me.,
In 1900, and was ono of the finest
five-masters on the coast. Her cargo
consisted of 3.702 tons of tltumiuous
coal, conslgued to this port The
vessel was only partially insured, but
h er caigo was fully covered.
The Frank A. Palmer was the
largest four masted schooner ever
constructed, hhe was built at Ilntb
In 1897 and was sold to J. S. Winslow
& Co. "f Portland, Mo She sailed
from Newport News on December 4,
Willi 4,700 tons of coal for Huston.
Of "he twenty-live men carried hy
both vcsels. ten como'lscd the ciew
of the Palmer and eleven that ol the
Crary.
Captain Potter revived later In the
day and was removed to a hospital.
He said that the Crury whs to blame
for the collision, Mate Smith having
dis ibejed orders In not reporting the
nearness of tbe Palmer.
