Weeping over the remains of Its lot
prestige the ponderous old Morning Or
gan once known ns the Advertiser,
speaks of "the long service It has ren
dered tire cause of good government
here." 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. Theso
officers by their uniform courtesy to
travelers and pleasant associations
through frequent calls at this port worn
regarded ns part of the community, a
very Important and universally respect
cd part.
The appointment of Ocorgc D. a"r
to the second Judgeship of tliu First
Circuit will meet with general appro
a except nmong bitter enemies he ha
made by reuson of his more recent le
gal mission to Washington. Mr. Gear's

Ilench nnd Dar. Ills appointment to the
llcncli tukes him out of tho 'Held ot
politics nnd the community will gaugis
bis work by the Integrity with which It
may be anticipated Justice will bc dis
pensed without fear or favor. In Its
political aspects, this appointment
shows that the I'lesldent is beginning
to tee through the blindfold which
caused him to make grievous errors lu
bis exccutlw- appointments. The
President, a Republican, could not be
expected to appoint the cuudldntc of .1n
opposition party. With McKlnley nnd
Attorney General Griggs the decision
wns merely between the Bo-cnlled Kum
lly Compact nnd the honest liberal Re
publicans. The Wilcox tight wus a side

"Suddenly wo struck, something
lightly. 'Hello!' exclaimed Jordan, the
pilot, 'we must liovo hit the buoy.'
I said: 'Wp hit something.' Tho Jar
was barely perceptible.
"It was the second blow that did
tho damage. It followed nltnost In'
stantly and shook the vessel from
Btem to stern, ,
"'Stop her!' sung out the captain, i

Tho first mstp also hastened to the
lowering of boats. I did not see what j

Every one seemed to be on dock In

their work thoroughly. There was no

lower the boats there was no crush or,
Interference except In one Instance,
when some Chinese had to be kept un

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. I noticed mnnv passengers, but
I cannot recnll Just who. though I know
the Wlldmnns were not rtmnng them,
t suppose It wns ten minute's from the
tlmo sh" 'trmk until she sank.
"The boats were lowered away and
tho lashings of the life rafts were cut

men nnd seiu the carpenter nnd the
watchman down to thp main deck to
nut them aboard. I sent tho steward
below to be sure even-one was roused
from the cabins, and I hurried bar'
to the Wlldmnns' cabin, opening Into
the upper social hnll nnd looked for
them. All the stateroom doors were
onn and no nno was left In that pirt
of the hlp. .lust as I was leaving tho;
cnptnln entered, looking for the Wlld
mnns. Wo did not spenl Ho turned
nnd started forward toward his cabin.
I hurried back to the davits.
She wns further listed to starboard
and was beginning to settlo forward.
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. I pulled off my
heavy boots, put tho ratpenter In
charge of the boat and got on n detach
ed life raft, from which to help seenro
passengers. The wntcr was full cf
floating people In a thick mass of the
wreckage. I secured one Chinese, one
pnssengcr nnd then swam over and
grabbed n Japanese nnd towed him to
the rnft. Then I went back to the
boat, and cutting the hand lines of the
raft for tow rope, took tho raft In tow. i
