TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A CHOICE SELECTION OF INTER ESTING ITEMS. Comments and Criticisms Baaed Upon the llappeuinjjH of the Day Iliatori- cal and News NoteH. Who will want to keep on trying to be a millionaire after what Marie Cor- H1 has said ? > = / In order to be familiar with Chinese one must know " 40,000 characters ; " Just like a successful politician. The Romanoffs have dodged too many bombs to permit a member to in troduce a Pistolkoff into the family. The royal gamekeeper has published the Kaiser's hunting record during thirty years. It's your turn , Mr. Cor telyou. Professor Triggs' institutions for the suppression of "budding authors' first attempts" will have the support of a suffering public. London is said to have wearied of American methods in the underground tube fight. One does not feel disposed to blame London. "Great poetry , " says Laureate Aus tin , "is the surest antidote to the pre vailing virus of materialism. The ma terialistic propaganda evidently has a clear track. "Great fortunes are misfortunes , " declares Uncle Russell Sage. They are misfortunes which nobody is in any hurry to be rid of , however , Uncle Russell least of all. It.is . again asserted that King Leo pold of Belgium will attend the St. Louis fair. If he brings his record with him there is likely to be a sharp advance in the price of chloride of lime. An automobilist who ran over some 't pedestrians "expressed surprise" when r he was sentenced to six months in jail M instead of being fined $25 or $50. A few more similar surprise parties are urgently needed. The world's greatest thinkers have solved many problems , but they still have to figure out whether college haz ing is a training for football or wheth er football is a preparative for hazing. It is the old question respecting the priority of the egg or the chicken over It is a very serious indictment of the sex to charge that women are mainly responsible for the slaughter of birds of plumage in this country , but there Is , we regret to say , ample proof to sustain it. When a fashion requires such sacrifices for its gratification as this folly of bird ornamentation does It Is time for the law to step in and enforce a reform which kindness and good taste should be able to accom plish. The estimable woman who complains that her husband has pulled her out uf bed by the hair three times a week "in addition to Sundays and holidays" Is entitled to a court hearing. Cer tainly three times a week would be sno.ugh for an ordinary man , and when the husband took to encroaching on holidays and the Lord's day he showed i lamentable lack of consideration. We think the holiday attention was the straw that broke the poor camel's back , and the woman has a good case In law. Three times a week should have satisfied the most devoted hair- puller , but some men never seem to tnow when to let good enough alone. When you are with the scientists do is the scientists do , namely , repress wdlnary emotions , if you are making & discovery or confirming a known fact. The experience may not always be agreeable. Witness the plight of a guest at a dinner given by a child- itudy specialist , whose note-book Is al ways ready for use. Dissatisfied with 1 K hot , buttered biscuit , a young child t threw the despised article across tint i table , and hit the visitor. The father i ind mother took no notice of the inci dent , and , naturally , the guest imi c tated their example. A second biscuit c followed , and the guest was struck on the chin. He was about to make a a remark , but the mother warned him 41e to be quiet. "Sh-h-J" she exclaimed. 41g The professor is observing him. " Just as the rejoicing over the going iji i ] out of the long skirt is at its height I ) comes the melancholy intelligence that heel is coming in. Of the high course a this means that women will go about at aa with their bodies tilted forward and t ; their minds , in the opinion of many , g tilted backward. There are fashions gii gi that excite smiles and some that pro ii voke derision , but it is more in sorrow .1. than in smiles that one criti. ises the a * l high heel. For if report be tru this f ! i Instrument of fashion's torture brings many physical woes in Its wake and makes weak eyes and sprained ankles commonplaces in woman's existence. d dit It has always been associated with the it itP' warp" waist , and everybody knows that P' ' It Is in the category of the incompe le tent that the wasp waisted , high heeled woman must be placed. Of course d there are many women who will al Ci : ways cling to common sense heels and CiPI Ideals in spite of fashion's unwhole PIh some advice , and it Is much to be ir hoped that the high heels will be irhi adopted only by women who tread the 01 > primrose paths which do not require 01J pedestrians to be sensibly shod. J < in The advance sheets of "Poor's Man- aal" for the fiscal year ending June 30 , ei 1902 , present a statement of the growth einj rf railroads iu this country which is al- tu moit Incredible. The mileage of roads Increased by 4,4f > : j miles , the total now beiig 198,000 , of which about 195,000 mills are in operation. The gross earn ing : ) were $1U12 , 8,82G and operating expiieses $ ] ,092,154,099. The net earn- Ingi , including miscellaneous receipts , wc/e over $588,000,000. The roads have . 39.C29 engines , L'7,144 passenger cars , 8GF7 mail and express cars , and 1,409- 472 freight cars , as compared with 31- , 889 engines , 14,934 pasenger cars , and 730435 freight cars in 1892 , and yet the loccuiotiye works are ehiml on orders andjcar works cannot * turn out freight cars fast enough to'take care of busi ness The total amount of stock , bond- ; and unfunded debt is $12.32G,491,52i ; The average interest for the year was 4.21 and the average dividend 2.02. Theip is no surer proof of the national prosperity than that contained in these rermrkable figures. There lias been a great increase in rolling slock during the p"ear , but the railroads have noi enough to transport promptly the freight offered to them. . No since the days when , in the Ian guajib of Pitt , Bonaparte was making evert map of Europe obsolete befoiv the ink was dry upon it , having thj cartckraphers been so busy as they havejbeen in the past few years. As a retult of the Spanish-American war of 1SS | ) Spain lost all her territory on the 4merican continent , and the big gest ( > art of that in the neighborhood of Asja , while , as a consequence of this loss , tehe sold most of the rest of it to Germany soon afterward. The Sa- moan group was divided up between the United States , England and Ger 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 Free State have become British territory. And now it is understood that Portu gal has sold her provinces in East Africa , and that they have been di vided between England and Germany , each getting the section nearest its own previous territory. In this Avay England secures possession of the Del- agoa Bay district , with the fine harbor at that point , which she needs now that she has become the proprietor of the two little Boer states. 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 tween British East Africa and the northern line of England's territory , which will now be at the Zambesi. Over all the territory between the Transvaal and Matebeleland and the coast the British flag now goes up. Not only has the whole of the Dark Continent beenvparceled out between European countries , but it is practically all subject , In patches , to the great nations of England , France , Germany and Italy , except the neutral Congo Free State , which Is under the sover eignty of Belgium's King. Spain has very little of it , Portugal has virtual ly retired from Africa , and Turkey , which has lost Egypt for England will never give it up has only a small patch of it which she can call her own. Most of the parcelling of Africa has been done in the past twenty years , and practically all of It has been ac complished peaceably. In an earlier age , even in the first half of the nine teenth century , this dividing up of a continent would have brought war which would have Involved many na tlons and have cost tens of thousands of lives. Great advances have been made in the manners and morals of the larger countries since the day when the rivalries of France , Spain and England on the American conti nent precipitated conflicts which shook the world. Simple Methods. The young ladies of a fashionable school were one day told that they must review a course in arithmetic , "i don't see any sense 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. " "Then you can't even buy a yard of ribbon and be sure you have the correct change , " said the teacher. "Yes , indeed ! ' ' was the reply. "I ilways know how to manage that. I ive the clerk a large bill , and he gives me something back. " A similar simplicity of method is acted by the New York Evening Post in an answer from an examination pa per. per.The The candidate had applied for an ippointment as patrolman , and was isked , "If you were in the vicinity of Jie general postoffice , and wished to jo to the Zoological Garden in the Bronx , how would you set about mak s ing the trip ? " "I should ask a policeman , " was the inswer , written apparently in pood * 'aith. Sound Reasoning. It has been said of the Southern larky that he has not always a clear dea as to property rights , but on some oints it appears that he is not in the east hazy. An old colored man in the days "befo' le wah" was given one of his master's ast-off hats , which he wore with great iride. One Sunday his master met ilin coming home from a camp-meet- ng in a pouring rain , bareheaded and lolding his hat under his coat. Later o n the master questioned him jocosely : ot od " ' t "Why didn't you wear your hat , t erry ? Did you feel the need of cooi e ng your head ? " J in "You see it's like dis sah " , , respond- Jt Jerry. "My head Is yours , but my Jta iat Is mine , and nnchelly I feels like jt uking care ob It , sah. " itQ \Q \ MOB HANGS A NEGRO. Plttsburg.

SHIPS SINK IN COLLISION Coal-laden Schooners go Down In Massachu setts Bay Ten SaLors Drowned. Boston , Mass. , Dec. 23. Tbe Man- ahasset arrived at 2:30 : o'clock thli morning with ten of the survivors of the crewf the schooners Frank A. Palmer and Louise B. Crary , which were in collision in Massachusetts bay on Wednesday. Ten men ol both vessels weie drowned in the collision , the balance , fitfeen , taking to one boat. Three subsequently went insane and jumped , overboard , two died from exposure and two went insane after getting ashore. Both captains were saved. Tne Louise B. Crary was a five masted schooner. They were both coal laden , bound for Boston. At 8 o clock a. m. yesterday when the Manahassett was forty-live miles ofl Highland liIit. . the lookout sighted a small boat witn nen who were making signals of distress. The Man- abassett chmged : her course and bore down on the craft , which proved t be 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.ire to the rigorous weather. Sat urday nigbc one man became crazed by his sufferings and shouting at the top of his voice that the police were after him , he jumped overboird and disappeared. Four other members of the little boat's company died from exhaustion and the exposure to which they had been subjected. All the survivors were frost bitten and some of them will probably have to have their feet and bands 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 thev could sur vive being taken from the vessel. Two of the men on the Manahas sett are Captain W. H. Potter of the Crary and Captain Rawling of the Palmer. The other two men are sailors , both of whom are raving maniacs. The men taken to the hospital uere not only in a critical condition physically , but they wne in surh 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 tbe shipwrecked men. It appears that the collision oc curred at 7:30 : last Wednesday night oil Cape Ann. The night was clear , but a stiff gale was blowing and tbe 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 , bit 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 tbe wreck , while tbe an chor of the Crary was entangled in the rigging of the Palmer and bn.ke off the foremast. The vessel began to fill and sank in a few minu'es. ' The Palmer's men managed to low er a boat. There was no time i > pro cure provisions or additional cloth ing. As the men cleared the wreck they saw theCrary's men in the same plight as they had been and made room for as many as could reach the boat. Fifteen souls were In the small craft when it finally pulled away , both captains being among those who thus escaped. A short time after tbe beat left both scho n- ers went down. Six men perished when the vessels sank. For the sur vivors a battle which lasted three days and four nights bad begun. One-third of tbe number succumbed in the fight and of those who finally reached shore none was able to relate what they had escaped. The Crary was a comparatively new vessel She was built at Bath. Me. , c in 1900 , and was one of the finest five-masters on the coast. Her cargo consisted of 3.702 tons of titpminous coal , consigned to this port The vessel was only partially insured , but h er cargo was fully covered. Tbe Frank A. Palmer was tbe largest four masted schooner evi r constructed. She was built at Bath in 1897 and was sold to J. S. Winslow & Co. of Portland , Me She sailed | from Newport News ( m December 4 , witli 4,700 tons of coal for Boston. Of he twenty-five men carried by both vessels , ten composed the crew * of tbe Palme' * and eleven that oi tbe i Crary. Captain Potter revived later in tbe day and was removed to a hospital , lie said that the Crary was to blame for tbe collision , Mate Smith having dis'ibeyed orders in not reporting tbe nearness of tbe Palmer.
