Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30.—Forty-nine
persons were drowned in the
way. Rev. Robert Thompson offered
the opening prayer.
Tonight the sermon is "Applied
Christianity." There is nothing like
seeing a machine—or a faith—at
work to determine its worth and de-
sirability. The disgrace of Christi-
anity in Shawnee is the idle Chris-
tian, if such a thing can be. The
boy's information that his father
was a Christian, but "didn't work
much at. it," is very expressive. As
\sell speak of a motionless whirlwind
as of an idle Christian.

& Miners liner Nantucket rammed
the Old Dominion liner Monroe
amidships in a fog, cutting her in
two and sinking her, twenty miles
southeast of Hog island. The lost
comprised twenty-five passengers and
thirty-four of the crew. The crippled
Nantucket rescued thirty passengers
and fifty-five of the crew, then
limped her way with a battered
prow toward Norfolk.
Theatrical People Lost
The Monroe was bound from Nor-
folk to New York. The lost were
practically all from eastern cities,
many of them members of a theat-
rical troupe. The Nantucket was
southbound.
Vessel Sank Rapidly.
After the terrific impact the Nan-
tucket backed off, swept the sea with
searchlights and began picking the
survivors out of the icy waters. The
Monroe sank by the head like
pulmmet, a few minutes after the
collision. Her passengers were
pitched out of their berths in their
night clothes by the shock.
Help Was Too Late.
"S. O. S." calls reaching the coast
stations started every available
agency to the rescue, but too late.
The sinking was so quick there was
no time for launching boats. In the
vortpx of the sinking ship men
shouted and women screamed
through the mist.
James O'Connell, vice president
of the American Federation of Labor,
was among the rescued.
The Nantucket, with eighty-five
survivors, arrived here at 1:30 this
afternoon.

WARNING
ANOTDER GOOD
SERMON DEARD AT
OLD WHITE CHURCH
Those who attended the Qld White
church last evening found a thor-
oughly warmed house and a good
sermon. The scriptural teaching as
to who is a child of God had the
logical clearness of a demonstration,
personal experience was appealed to
and four declared more than fifty
years' experience in this truth, one
of them having been seventy-two
years a Christian. What claim can
rebels against the will of God make
to the right to pray?
Carl D. Rau sang "Let the Lower
Lights Be Burning" In an Impressive
The News-Herald wants to warn—
and does hereby warn—the pestifer-
ous little vandal who has been mak-
ing it his nightly custom to force
entrance to this office by breaking in
the back door, that he need not
come any more. It has been found
necessary to establish a system of
niglit-watchlng in the person of
"Pete," who, notwithstanding a
strong inclination toward a chocolate
hue in complexion, is said to possess
a heart of dare-devilish stoutness.
"Pete" was advised when the ed-
itor and owner of this establishment
hired him this morning that some
dire deeds have been committed
through the friendly conspiracy of
midnight darkness in the News-Her-
ald offices, store rooms and mechan-
ical retreats, and that the same had
sorely vexed ye editor. He was in-
structed, with the added emphasis of
an editorial head-shake to the tune
of much pounding and gesticulation,
that all these and sundry depreda
tions must be stopped.
"1'se yo' man," 6ald Pete. "Lead
me to 'im.
So this warning is promulgated:
Lay off'n Pete; he's a bad 'un.
It might not be amiss also to call
attention to the unfortunate "kick"
given the News-Herald a few nights
ago. Your relator herein had just
had some new window signs painted
on the front of the building wherein
we are domiciled, at a cost of some
fifty-odd good and lawful dollars
The paint had hardly had time to dry
when some brother with the vicious
side of his nature sorely disturbed,
slammed the forward end of a No.

calling attention to ttie excellence of
our job printing, the impact thereof
then and there causing the glass to
part in a long serpentine line, much
to our disgust, chagrin and general

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 30.—"Don't
keep a garbage can in any event.
Chickens, if you have room for them,
are the best substitutes." This Is
one of the ways to get the best of
Mry High Cost o' Livin', according to
Mrs. Susie E. Weber, who has made
lifelong stoudy of domestic econ-
omy—how to save waste and work
in the kitchen. She hopes some day
to establish a school in which she
will teach the results of her experi-
ence. Mrs. Weber recently delivered
a lecture to normal school girls who
are seeking to learn how a family
of five must live to get along on
an income of $10 a week.
"The chief thing is to save waste,"
said Mrs. Weber. "Let me tell you
it is the leaks in the kitchen of
many households that are not only
partly to blame for the present high
cost of living, but also are the direct
cause for not a few divorces. Save
your greases, fats and suets off of
the meats, out of which to render
lard for cooking purposes. Grate
the stale bread to use in place of
flour in making doughnuts, muffins
and biscuits. Use one cupful of
bread crumbs to every two cups of
flour or corn meal. Use celery
leaves to make celery soup. Celery
soup made this way is the finest.
Celery ends make good celery salad.

HIGH SCHOOL
The high school auditorium was
well filled last night by friends of
the city schools, to witness the exer-
cises siganlizing the mid-season pro-
motion of forty-two students from
the eighth grade to the high school.
It has been customary in the past to
have a mid-season promotion, but
heretofore the exercises have been
combined with those of the spring
pi otion. The classes have grown
so large, however, that the change
was deemed advisable.
Program Was Interesting.
The program incident to the pre-
sentation of the diplomas was an in
teresting one. As the audience as-
sembled, the high school orchestra
played a number of selections, which
were especially enjoyed. The ad
dress was delivered by Prof. U. G.
Griffith, president of the Weather-
ford state normal school. His re
marks were of a character calcu-
lated to inspire his young hearers
ot greater efforts and inculcate in
their developing mind right ideas
about the aims and ends of educa
tion.
"Little Boy Blue," sung in a de-
lightful manner by the high school
sextette, was greatly enjoyed and
loudly applauded. Supt. Scott Glen
presented the diplomas to the gradu-
ates, with remarks appropriate to
the occasion, and the exercises closed
with more music by the high school
orchestra.

The follownig are the graduates
who received diplomas:

SENl NCED
10 rRISON
In the superior court Harry
Thompson was found guilty by a
jury which fixed his penalty at
eight years in the state penitentiary
at McAlester, and James Fay plead-
ed guilty and was sentenced by the
court to serve three years. Both
were charged with assault with in-
tent to kill, in connection with the
shooting of C. F. Cottrell. a police
officer, at Wallace and Hobson
streets on the night of Tuesday, De-
cember 9.
Tliompsou Tried First
The men took a severance and
Thompson was tried Thursday af-
ternoon. The state presented its
case, and no evidence was intro-
duced by the defense. The case
was concluded at a late hour, and
after being out 30 minutes last night
the jury returned a verdict of guilty,
and assessed the penalty at eight
years in the penitentiary.
Kay Pleads Guilty
Fay this morning entered a plea
of guilty, and was sentenced to
serve three years. Fay did not fire
any shots during the time of the
trouble in which Cottrell was
wounded. With an empty gun he
tried to 'hold up City Detective Dar-
den, while Thompson was to get
Cottrell. Darden's nerve never
failed, however, and he made Fay
drop his weapon, while Cottrell,
shot through the body, disarmed
Thompson, and held him until Dar-
den could take charge of both men.
Thompson Hardened Criminal
Thompson appears to be a harden-
ed criminal. Wrhen told Thursday
morning of the recent tragedy at
McAlester in which seven lives were
sacrificed in an attempted jail de-
livery, he exclaimed, "I would like
to have been with those boys," ap-
pearing to glory In their bloody
deeds. He was defiant to the end
of his trial.
Judge Abernathy will pronounce
sentence upon Thompson tomorrow.

captured Ojinaga and routed the
whole northern army of General
Huerta. General Pancho Villa, the
most prominent figure in the Mexi-
can rebellion, started his cavalry
south for Chihuahua, or perhaps Tor-
reon.
This may be the beginning of the
march in to Mexico City, the strong-
hold of Huerta. Villa has been so
consistently victorious for several
months that he has gathered about
him about 30,000 troops. If he is
able to march to the gates of Mex-
ico City with this force he may over-
whelm Huerta. Anyway, he has an-
nounced that since the north has
been won he would not delay his
march on the capital.

rate and passenger charges made by
the railroads while the Missouri

ence to the excess rates paid, and
that claimants can recover whatever
amount Is due them by suing in any

COUNTY MUST BUILD
APPROACHES TO
COUNTY BRIDGES
A recent decision of Judge Aber-
nathy of the superior court is of
great interest to road overseers of
the county. It was in the case In
which the county commissioners
sought to mandamus the road over-
seors of Avoca township to make the
tills at the bridge between sections
30 and 31, township 6, range 5. The
petition for the writ recited that
the county commissioners had con-
structed the bridge and that it was
the duty of the township to main-
tain it. To make the bridge pass-
able, the petition said, a fill of three
feet at one end and four feet at the
other end was needed. The judge
held, in dismissing the action, that
the bridge was a county bridge, be-
ing more than thirty feet in length,
and that It was the duty of the
county to provide such approaches
that the bridge might be used.
Avoca township was represented in
the case by Park Wyatt.
