Sloenm Disaster Victims Still at Bo1t
' torn of the Sound.
NEW YORK, June 18. Before Coro
ner Joseph J. Berry a deck hand on the
General Slocum said that flames were
first discovered among hay and barrels
used n packing glasses and that when
the hose was unrolled it kinked so;
badly that it burst when water , was
turned on. v '
When the fire was discovered, the
deck hand testified, the boat was at
Blackwell's Island opposite Eighty
sixth street- ::- '' ; . ' ;
According to the" chief engineer, who
is now at Catskill. the fire was not dis
covered until the Slocum was off One
Hundred and Thirty -eighth street.
First Officer Edward Flanagan of
the boat told the coroner that a hose
coupling became loose, and "before: it
could be tightened the passengers grew
alarmed, and a fatal panic set in.
Against the statement of the deck
hand is the mute testimony of the
stand pipe of the General Slocum, !
which was raised from the wreck and
taken to the coroner's office. The valves
of the pipe were closed, showing that
no water was turned on. ' ' : '
. Inspector Albertson, who is in charge
of the police at North Brother island,
has made a sensational statement that
he believed there were fuliy 500 more
victims w'bose bodies have not been re
covered. Of the 532 bodies recovered
all but forty-four have been identified,
and as. there are still hundreds missing
the early hopes that those classed as
missing would be found among the un
identified dead are being abandoned,
and Instead it is thought that"' the bot
tom of the sound harbors many Inbre
bodies. r
The number of bodies recovered so
'far is 562; identified, 518; unidentified,
44; missing, 46G; lives lost (estimated),
1.028.
George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the
department of commerce and labor,
who is in this city,, said that President
Roosevelt had directed 'that a rigid in
vestigation be made.
R. G. Dun & Co. Report Merchants
; Reilnclng Stocks.
NEW YORK, June 18. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Industry suffers from an epidemic of
ultra conservatism, emanating appar
ently from the theory that a season of
depression must come every ten years,
while the coincidence of a presidential
election furnishes another precedent.
As a result stocks of merchandise have
been reduced? railway traffic Is les'sen
id, preparations for future business
are curtailed, and , less money is dls-'
tributed in the form of wages, while
those having capital to invest confine
their attention to the highest classes of
bonds or hold back for still lower se
curity prices.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for June aggregated
$4,151,108, of which $1,854,762 were in
manufacturing, $1,879,304 in trading
and $410,952 in other commercial lines.

Custom of Attendance Is of Scottish.
Origin.
It may be a surprise to somes people
to know that the phrase "best man"
the bridegroom's nearest attendant is
of Scottish origin. In the north, also,
tne principal bridesmaid used to be
called the "best maid." Neither ex
pression , has much to recommend it.
It is. a great pity, indeed, that ' best
man, - an unintelligent antf in itself
meaningless phrase, should haA'e so
completely ousted from our common
eyeryday speech the good old English
name of "brideman" , or "bridesman."
Another ' old , name is . "groomsman'
and in days , gone by the bridegroom
was attended, not by one friend, but
several, who were known as the bride
men or groomsmen. The term nest
man" came into use, presumably to in
dicate the one of ''th'ese who took the
lead in performing their various duties
and wag in closest attendance on the
bridegroom. In recent years the cus
tom of havinc groomsmen has been oc
casionally revived, but it has not be
come general. At a fashionable wed
ding, four or five years ago, the bride
was content with five bridesmaids and
two pages, whereas the bridegroom
-was supported by io fewer than nine
gxoomsmen. " ' ..' .
But at the present time such an ar
ray has by .no means the same mean
ing, nor are" those attendant friends of
so much ..use as in days of old. Y The
forerunner of the brideman was tae
brldeleader, whose duty it was to
bring the bride to the bridegroom. In
most countries where the rear or pre
tended capture of, the bride 'was an es
sential par of the ceremony, and
wherever traces of the very ancient
, custom of bride capture existed, the
friend cr friends of the bridegroom
had ' the important office of capturinsc
the lady and bringing her to her lord.
In one of , Dryden's plays there is the
line "Betwixt . her guards she seemed
by bridemen led," and Brand tells us
'ithat' at any ojd English weddine the
bridegroom was led to the ennrch be
tween two maids, and the bride by two
young men. holding her by the arms
as if unwilling. This was evidently a
survival of tho idea of capture. m ;
The same idea, somewhat more . 3
gnised, can be traced in ' the custom
-hich - " hot unknown at old f asa
ioned weddings less than a century
ago, in the north of England and in
the west of Scotland.1 of thp bride
jrroom's "best man" escorting the bride
to the church. ' It hag been disputed,
naturally, whether the groom's nearest
friend was chosen ias escort with the,
idea of protecting the ladv from seiz
ure by others, or whether he might be
regarded as the leader in the act of
capture. But whichever idea lay at the
back of the practice, it was clearly a
survival connected with the custom ?f
marriage by capture. Iater, the bride
men ha d various function 16 perforin,
which have now become obsolete.
There was still a trace of the capture
idea in the old duty at one time as
signed to the brideman of givina: the
bride away. He led her to the chhrch
and thm acted the part now Siled by
the Wly's father or other near male
relative. ' '
: In the old seventeenth century ballad
of the 'Golden Glove," which used to
be a great favorite at rural gatherings
in all parts of the country in the old,
unsophisticated days, before the melan
choly monstrosities of the modern mu
sic hall had driven the genuine old
English, ballads and songs- out of use
and memory--in this ballad there are
the lines which allude to . the custom
named: .
"Thought you had been at the wed
dins.. sae cried, v
"To .wait on the square and give, him
his bride.'' , r
And it has been pointed out that the
same custom may be hinted at in the
marriage service rubric "The minister
receiving the woman at her father's or
I friend's hands.'.' '.' . ,
I Among tae Shropshire peasantry, in
J quite recent years - something ' of the
; oM custpm seems to hai-e - prevailed.
' Miss Bnrne in her delightful book on
j "Shropshire Ixre"-' says ,that at the
1 weddings in humble -life the bride's
I father is seldom and her mother never
present. As a "rule. ''.the only compan
ion to church of the bride and groom
are the best man ,aad the: bridesmaid.
Ill such circumstances it isv obvious
that the lady must J;-e fclven away by
her lover's friend, on whose arm she
has walked to the church. A still
more curious thing is that it-is consid
erpd Jncky. Miss . Burne tells u.s, for
either the best man or the bridesmain
to be alrea'dy married. "I have recent
ly seen," she writes. " a married wo
! nrnn noting as 'bridesmaid!' " .Less
I than twenty years ago a Newport
newspaper . desfribinsr a village wed
ding, said that Mr and Mrs So-and-so
of 'accompanierl ' the . h?ippy
connie and performed the offices ' of
best mam and br'desmnid respectively."
Another 'oTrt function of the; bride
men or; bridrsquires." as , they.-, were
sometimes, 'called was to carry .a round'
' the cakp," and the brideowl. The
Vbridebowl. or sup, was handed round
at a weeding, so that the 'friend might
dr.ink the health of the newly married
pairr-a clnd Of loving-cup ceremony.
But .before the proceedings had reached
this pleasant point it had been we
duty of the bridemen to lift the bride
oarer'" the threshold. This is an ancient
and widesnread custom, the mean'ng
of which has caxised much shedding of
ink. In the ivest of Scotland of old,
sa-s Mr Napier, in his book on the f ol
lore of that rerion, "the threshold of
i the house was disenchanted by charms
; and" by ; anointing it with certain unc
tuous perfumes,! but as it was consid
ered unlucky for the wife to tread upon
the threshold when first entering er
House, she ' was v lifted over it and
seated ipon a piece 'of wood, a sym:
bol of domestic Industry."
. The custom is not confined to Euro
pean peoples, for a somewhat analo
gous practice exists in China ? where
the bride is Carried to the house by a
matron, and at the door Is lifted over
a pan of- charcoal. Apart from mar--riage,
even in this country, there are
folk who are careful on entering a
house to step over and not on the
threshold. There is a world of lore,
Indeed; surrounding the subject of the
threshold into which we cannot enter.
The modern best man may feel
thankful that his duties are not so
I onerous as those of his predecessors
of long ago, nor need he trouble to be
on his guard against unlucky omens
or on the watch to propitiate the un
certain goddess, Fate. London Globe.

Englishmen in Quandary as to What
v to, do With Skull.
Cromwell's body, after suffering
various indignities at the nanus of
the royalists, was"4 buried at the foot
of the gallows at Tyburn. His head,
however, after being above ground for
two and a half centuries, now threat
ens (to become the center oi a discus
sion on the desirability or otherwise
of a belated burial. i "
Writing to the editor of Truth, "A
colonial and iruperialisnt" says: "1
suggest that it is time to reverently I
bury tnis portion or tne remains or a
very 'great. Englishman, and 1 feel cer
tain that this opinion will be shared
by our fellow countrymen and women,
as also by Americans." The writer
mentions that the head is in the cus
tody of S. F. Wilkinson of Seal, near
Sevenoaks, and Truth commenting on
this, says that if it could be decided
that the head in possession of Mr Wil
kinson belonged to the protector the
suggestion in the letter would be sup
ported by the whole English speaking
world. ,
The evidence of the head's identity
courteously offered yesterday by Mr
Wilkinson to a "representative of the
Daily Mail was complete and .convinc
ing. .' : ''.;.';'.' . -
"In 1661," he said, "the body of
Cromwe'l was exhumed from its rest
ing place in Henry VH's chapel In
Westminster abbey, and the head, to
gether with those of Ireton and Brad
shaw struck off and impaled on. spikes,
placed on the roof of Westminster
hall. Twenty-five years later a senti
nel on the ramparts saw the head fall
down during a storm. He hid It under
his cloak, ; and, taking it home, con
cealed it in his chimney. Owing to
the -hue and cry that followed, he did
not dispose of It, but told his wife and
daughter about It on his deathbed.
They sold it to a branch of the Cam
bridgeshire Russells, who were con
nected with Cromwell's family, four
Russells having married four Crom
wells. The last of the Russells to own
the head was Samuel, who is describ
ed as being a very poor comedian.'
Samuel exhibited it to all comers in
Clare market' at 2s 6d a head. He ran
into debt, however, to James Cox, a ri
val showman, to whom he disposed of
it for 118. Cox then disposed of It to
three men, all of whom died suddenly,
and the friend of the last survivor
sold It to my grandfather nearly a cen
tury ago.
Then Mr Wilkinson produced . docu
ments, the most curious being th
actual deed between Samuel Ros&cl
and James Cox, in ' which the forru
relinquished all ' claim on the he-"
promising in quaint legal phraseolov
not to interfere with Cox in the e
joyment of the same. "I only got th rive
or six years ago, said the guiu
dian of the relic. "It was' sent to m
by a lady, who said that, as I had tL ,
head, I ought to have the deed."
Then with due solemnity, the grins
head of the lord protector itself was
produced. Within an outer case of
polished elm lay, the original oaken
casket, black wi&i age, into, which it
was. first placed L!y the Russells. Ua
locking this' inner box Mr Wilkinson
revealed a mass of red and black eillr,
from . which he took the grim head ct
the Curse of Ireland?'
The brown-skinned head is still
pierced by the pike which bore It on
Westminster hall. The point,, attenu
ated by. rust and exposure, . emerg-e &

the right of the center. The liidr

traced Otherwise the flesh Is shrunk
en and the skull looks small on that:
account, Both ; the flesh and the wood,
of the pikestaff are pierced by little
worm holes through the 25 years' ex
posure on Westminster hall.
The casket is softly quilted inside,
Mr. Wilkinson Lv a reverent custo
dian of the head of the great English
man. He places no obstacles in th
way of historians and others who
wish to inspect the skull, but Carlyla,
when writing a history of Cromwell ,
went rather too far; The "Sage olf
Chelsea" heard of the skull, but de
clined to go and see it, saying, "Lft
Mr. Wilkinson bring it to me." Need
less to say, Carlyle and the skull of
Cromwell never met.
Mr. Wilkinson has a death mask of
Cromwell, which has been measured
by experts and compared with tli
skull, and the measurements coincide
completely. He has a mass of docu
ments and other evidence which p
far to prove that the head is tea 11
