Hllnded by Its superabundant ponderosity the Advertiser seems to think It can make the people to forget that "Applause" In Central Union church. Oood government' Is It. the rule or the ruin policy of the organ that Is "good." What about that wonderfully super ior newspaper plant of the Advertiser? The Hiilletln had Its extra containing full details of tho Rio disaster on the street nt 10 o'clock. Tho ponderous old Advertiser enmp bumping nlong forty five minutes later with a one-sheet poster called "Extra." The Uullctln sold 800 copies of lis extra, How many pos ters did the .Vhertlser sell? Further more, how does tho ponderous organ account for this, having, ns It says, such a remarkable popularity nnd won derful equipment. The terrible fate of the steamship Rio dc Janeiro nnd Its passengers wns a shock tothlscommuulty such ns has nev cr been expcrlemej since steamships have called at this port. A security born of remarknble freedom from ocean I disasters has always been felt by rcsl- depts bidding final farewells to friends departing on stenmcrs bound to San rranclsco. A sincere sympathy goes thusu families In our midst whose loed ones have gone down to an ocean grnc. A n deep sympathy also goes out to out to the families of noble olllcors who lost their lives to save others.

There was no shrieking; there was no tlgn of panic I bbw no disturbance, Everyone be- hnved admirably. When wo came to! lower the boats there was no crush or, Interference except In one Instance, when some Chinese had to be kept un til tho boats got clenr. Then we let them come on nsaln. The people had hnd several minutes to get ready. On my side of tho ship I saw none In un dress.

My boat was clear and a little dlstanco from tho ship. In n swirl of floating wreckage. I Jumped frpm the upper deck, a distance of fifteen feet, n'nd struck some wreckage that injured my right leg. "As I bobbed nbove tho surface and looked up the lowering mass of tho stern of the vessel seemed to bo sud denly rising high out of the water above me. I made for the boat and drew myself up and across tho gun wale, and lay there, face downward, waiting for un expecting the end. As I clung there, my heavy high top sen boots thrust out over the edge of the boat, I heard nn appalling sound, n mighty, a peculiar mid terrifying roar of wnters, as the Hlo sank. "Thero were eight In the boat, the threo women passengers nnother pns senger and my crow, consisting of the carpenter, ono snilor, one (lreman nnd a firemen's mess boy.
