ONE SURVIVOR

Snowstorm.
[United Press Leased Wire Service:]
CALUMET. Mich., Nov. 10.—In a
blinding snowstorm that swept Lake
Superior last night, the steamer foon
tenac went down off Manitou island
with a loss of twenty-two members
of her crew of twenty-three. The
lone survivor, a sailor named Edward
Laundry, clung to a life belt and
reached shore. He brought the news
of the disaster to the Eagle Harbor
coast guard and search was immedi

The Frontenac was a small steel ore
carrier, owned by the Brown Steam
ship company of Cleveland, Ohio. She
left Duluth Tuesday, bound for Ash

A Postgraduate Course.
Chicago Post: A Denver preacher
has resigned his pulpit to enter em
ployment with an eastern manufactur

and work with his hands.
"Ministers study God too muct and
human beings too little." he says. "I
especially desire to study the teach
ing of Christianity as applied to ln
Iduatrial conditions."
in other words be Is going to do a
little laboratory work, and the exper
ience should make him a better
preacher.
It would be an excellent thing if all
preachers could have preparatory
training of this kind. A pulpit mes
sage that came out of the mine or the
(factory would have a different note
!from the message that comes straight

from the seminary. It is one thing
I to be a great theologian and quite an
other to be a great Christian, and yon
cannot be the latter if you lose touch

How to Prevent Colds.
In the way of practical advice on

peppermint beneficial to fcte human

permint is no longer a weed in the
back yard—indeed, if you please, it
has become a great crop. Pepper
mint candy as put up in Banitary in
dividual packages, is quite unlike the
bulky drops that were found in the
show cases when men of a generation
ago kept the grocery, or safeguarded
the fortunes at the store on the
corner.
It remained for a couple of young
lege men, who had very little cap
ital, Dot lots of ambition, to success
fully market peppermint candy.
Their activities were based on me
.theory that peppermint aids diges

Thirty Years of the Trolley.
Literary Digest: It is now little
short or thirty years since the first
successful trolley line was P«t in op
eration in ^Richmond, Va. An earlier
experiment had taken place at Balti
more, but it was not until the Rich
mand enterprise was started that the
trolley was placed on a commercial
basis. It had been predicted before
this that electrically propelled vehi
cles would be fbund impractical when
used on city streets. How completely

having been born In 1857. A writer
in Bradstreet's makes a few com
ments on the subject, apropos of a re
cent address made by Mr. Sprague at
a convention in Atlantic City:
"The industry has prospered to such
an extent that there are, in terms of
money, some 16,000,000*000 invested in
it over 300,0000 men find employment
in the enterprise, and the gross earn
ings of the industry approximate $600,
000,000 per annum. Tet this Is the in
dustry in which interest was wholly
academic at the time that association
was organized, and, in fact, for a few
years thereafter.
"Indeed, these street-railway men
knew much about horses very little
however, did they know about the pow
erful force that was destihed to sup
plant horses. It is related that a man
who later came to be manager of one
of the large electric railways of the
country thus described the motor used
in the Bentley-Knight experiments in
Cleveland: Tt revolved rapidly 1,200
revolutions a minute, and I asked what
sort of a volcano it would make if it
parted under the car and was told
that it would be terrible—that the
pieces would travel two or three miles.
It was sort of nltro-glycerine maga
zine.' A rush to adopt electricity fol
lowed the Richmond installation, and
gave to the country In the four years
following 1888, 900 miles, and in the
fourteen years to 1902 more than
16,000' miles of electric railways."
