great, we made plans early to meet it. "We were especially fortunate in securing two exten
sive assortments, embracing Real Kid, Cape and Lambskin in a variety of colors and differ
ent stitchings, in 8, 12 and 16-button lengths also a big quantity of silk and lisle elbow
. lengths. ' ' m
This great purchase goes on sale Saturday at 8 a. m.. and the time is most opportune, in
asmuch . as Easter oomes early this .year. Please do not ask us to fit during the sale.
.Ye especially desire, however, that you have them fitted afterwards for while we do not
'. guarantee long gloves, we will give you a perfect pair if any break or defect occurs in fit

ELEVEN TAKEN FROM WRECK
(Continued from First Page.)
along the roadway skirting- the, sea there
raced hundreds of people keeping pace with
the rescue boat. '
In the meantime every preparation was
being made at the harbor to take care of
the individual rescued. Six motor cars.
Including that belonging to the prince con
sort, were drawn up In readiness to convey
the survivors to the Amerika hotel, where
a staff of medical men. especially sum
moned, was waiting to give succor.
The small lifeboat was the first to reach
the harbor and Captain Jansen reported
that three women and a child who had re
fused to Jump were still aboard the wreck.
He explained that the rescue had been
effected by both boats working In con
Junction. First the small boat managed to
make fast a rope to the breakwater, and
by this- means the survivors were dragged
through the water to the pilot boat, which
stood a little way off. Captain Jansen
had hardly told his story when the steam
pilot boat with the rescued on board hove
lit sight As It was moored the;, cheers
were succeeded by a palnfut hush as the
first of the survivors Was borne- ashore on
a " stretcher. ' The man was swathed In
blankets and made no sign of Ufa.
! Cheer from Stolid Dateamea.
fcventually. the- eleven Survivors so nar
rowly snatched from death were removed
to. the Amerika hotel, and when the prince
consorV came ashore his face was radiant
with Joy. Every Dutchman present for
feited his national reputation for stolidity
by Jolalng In a roaming cheer. .The hotel
In the meanwhile was so besieged by the
crowd anxious to catch a glimpse of the
survivors that the police had to resort to
vigorous measures to clear the "premises
and allow tha doctors uninterrupted con
trol. Several anxious relatives succeeded
In forcing an entrance to the hotel and
there were' some' scenes of bitter disap
pointment when they discovered that the
members of their families were not among
the rescued.

Fraa Ek-hraeder.
Under the reviving Influence of food the
survivors soon became comparatively
cheerful. Frauleln Butt el and Frau
Schraeder, although practically starving
and with their hands and feet terribly
frostbitten, showed remarkable cheerful
ness. Exrerlrseei of Fraa Schraeder.
Relating her experiences Frau Schraeder
said:
"I never can forget the terrible hours of
anguish and despair we passed through
wliile watching 'with our hearts, I mlsht
say,, the gallant efforts of the crews of the
lifeboat and tugs to snatch us from the
Jaws of death. On Thursday night our
nngulah reached Its height. Then the gale
seemed fiercer than ever. Mountainous,
death-cold billows broke over the ship every
minute and the dense, blinding bllssard hid
from us the comforting lights of -the Hook.
At about 5 SO in the morning we heard the
siren of the Incoming Great Eastern
steamer Vienna, and Frauleln Buttel, In a
frenxy of despair, shouted to the howling
winds:
" TVir elnd hler!' (We are here.)
"Whenever we saw or heard the pass
ing craft we shouted, fearing that the peo
ple on board would think all was over. I
saw nearly all my friends carried away
by the sea and drowned.
"We watched the operations of our res
cuers with breathless anxiety, but When
we finally understood their actions and
saw there. was a chance of life we could
hardly believe our eyes. Exhaustion, ex
posure, hunger and fear had made us so
miserable that even the Joy of life brought
no smile to our faeea and no words to our
"ps." ; ;.. , . . . , . ,
Steward Tells of Rescue.
' According to Steward Fisher, two women.
Frauleln Thlele and Frau Wernberg, were
alive when the tug came out, but died be
fore the work of rescue was completed.
"When I left the wreck." he said, "the
engineer was scarcely breathing, andsthere
Is no hope of getting him off alive. '
"We had a terrible time. When the
steamer broke twenty-five of .us 'took
refuge in eProcess behind the qmpke room.
By this morning only fifteen of this num
ber remained alive. We could get no
good 'sleep; we were, too busy dodging the
waVes that kept flooding the smoke room.
We shouted' to attract the attention of
every passing ship. We all sat cheek V
cheek to keep ourselves warm, but we
had to cling to what we could when a big
wave caroe aboard and flooded us. We
could see the people who put oF In boats
to view the wreck and watch the work cf
those searching for bodies In the sea."
It now appears certain that after the
catastrophe there wese many more thsn
fifteen person remaining on the wrerJc,
and that most of them, were washed off
by the waves.- One woman was carried
away Just before the rescue was affected.
The jurvivors huddled together for
Warmth and the members of the crew
who were still alive shared their food
with the others. There was not enough
to go around, however, and for twenty
four hours not a morsel of food passed the
lips of these unfortunate people.
The survivors highly praise Prince
Henry, who personally assisted the women
and had gloves provided for them. Tha
prince wrapped his fur overcoat about
one woman.
. Hard Task ( Reseae Party.
Captain Jansen of tha life boat and the
other rescuers praised the coursge ot
Prince Henry, who went out In the smaller
boat and worked hard pulling at the oars
and In helping to hoist the survivors
aboard. This wss not accomplished with
out difficulty owing to the heavy surf, but
the rescuers managed to get a line aboard
tha wreck and make the other end fsst to
the lighthouse. The survivors then climbed
down and were carried one by one through
the surging water, breast high, along the
pier and placed In the small boat, whence
they were transferred to the pilot boat.
Captain Jansen says he was compelled
to leave the two women and the child on
board the wreck because they did not dare
to make the descent of the rope owing to
.their completely exhausted condition. In
fact they appeared to be dying. Another
determined attempt to reach the wreck
will, however, be made at low tide st
I o'clock tomorrow. The boatmen intend
to try to board the wreck, wrap up" She
two women and the child In . water-proof
sacks and lower them Into the boat.
The wind has decreased la violence, but
the cold Is Intense and the fury ot the
sea Is terrible.
It has been discovered that the wreck
of the Berlin Is resting on the remains of
the British steamer Leeds, which wss lost
on the same spot la 1882.

ELIOT SPEAKS IN MONTREAL
President of Harvard Discusses Ex
periments oa Free Ooverameat -Before
Canadlaa Clab.
MONTREAL. Feb. 22. President Eliot of
Harvard, addressed the Canadian club of
Montreal at the club's luncheon this after
noon. Later, an informal reception was
tendered him by the undergraduates of Mc-
Olll university.
President Eliot spoke on the variety of
experiments In free government. He said
that as head of Harvard he claimed to be
somewhat of an expert.
'Toleration In religion might be studied
at Harvard and the utmost freedom given
la the government of the university.
"Free government is the greatest of all
experiments." continued the president, who
explained the experiment of the constlut-
tional or limited monarchy of England and
the experiment of the cabinet government.
also an English experiment.
Then , there was the experiment of the
United States, he said, that of giving
power to one man for a certain length of
time. This Is still in the experimental
stage, hot having yet proved satisfactory
but day by day becoming evolutlonlxed to
fill the needs of the country.
The president then went Into other forms
of executive functions such as those
adopted by France, S.wltserland and Hoi
land, all outlined In the English system
but not altogether following It In detail.
The upper chamber In the United States,
the .senate. Was very much of an experi
ment, somewhat similar to the House of
j-ras or England, the latter being ac
cepted as probably the best of any ex
periment.
.BISHOPS OBJECT TO CONTRACTS
French ' Prelates Will TCnt
Offer
to Resame Negotia
tions. PARIS," Feb. t E In an authoritative
statement the Croix, organ of the church,
defines the attitude of the episcopacy with
reference to the negotiations between the
coadjutor archbishop of Paris, Monslgnor
Amlette, and the prefect of the Seine, M.
de Salves, as follows:
"The bishops do not accept the contracts
which make the parish priests responsible
for Important structural repairs of the
churches or the contracts containing a
clause excluding secularised members of
the dissolved orders from acting as parish
priests, claiming that to do, so would be a
recognition of the law of associations.
Further, the bishops look upon the In
clusion of a similar embargo on foreign
priests as being an Insult to the former's
patriotism.
Monslgnor Amlette will not take the in
itiative to resume the Interrupted 'negotia
tions which, therefore, may be said to have
terminated until further orders.

Here It Is:
"I had a dream the other night." Mr.

heaven. I knocked on the gate and St.
Peter opened It and asked me my name.
" 'You are a lawyer, aren't you, Mr.
Clarke," " he asked.
' 'Tee. sir.'
1 "Did you ever. Mr. Clerk, place a shadow
on the truth in trying to save your clients?'
he then asked.
' 'Well, 1 don't know that I have, but I
have done the beet I could for my clients
In all cases.'
"Well, you come In Mr. Clarke; we'll
take you on probation. Just take this
piece of chalk and about a. block and a
half up the street you will And a big
blackboard. On that blackboard you make
a mark for every time you have put a
shadow on truth In looking after the In
terest of your clients,' said St. Peter.
"I walked about a half block in the di
rection Indicated and met a large crowd
coming back. I soon recognized the crowd
consisted of a great number of railroad
tax agents and lawyers, and at the head
of the procession was Bob Clancy and Bob
McOlnniss, Each had a basket on his
arm.
" 'Where are you going? I asked.
. " 'Going back after more chalk,' they both
answered." ,
Mr. Clarke told the story to Illustrate
the number of "shadows" the railroad
lobbyists were putting on truth In their
discussion of his terminal taxation bill.
Incidentally he received this morning,
anonymously, a box of chalk, with the in
scription: "From the Commercial club,' for
your own use.'.'
