When Two of Crew Meet Violent Death as-Fore- told, Others Believe in Warning. With two of her crew ead efter old saliors aboard had predicted that four of the crew would die before the vessel returned to Havre, the French ship Maria, which bas rached San Francisco from Europe, is ininus eight, more of her sail who deserted rather than take any chimces of be- coming nu among the other two, who it th belfeved are scheduled to dle according to advices received here today. The men firmly be- Meve the vessel is a hoodo - ship and they flatly refused to stay aboard and make the return voyage. Martin. Mathurin, a sailor of the abip, was killedby a Southern Pacific train shortly after he stepped ashore, Francis Besiel, the ship's painter, fell from his swing aloft the same day and was swept away by the tide. The Maria sail wre five months ago to load grain at Port Costa, and mysterious premonitions . of coming disaster-are said to have accompan- Jed the ship on its voyage to Cal fornia. Superstitious old sailors read signs which predicted that four of the crew must die before the vessel returns to Havre, Men Desert. With one saflor and the painter gon the members of the crew are asking themselfves who will be the other two, When the ship entered Golden Gate they had jeered at the dismal. prophets, but when the two men were gone they began to heed the warning of the old tars. Fearing to return to France in the vessel the eight men have deserted the ship and now th officers are having great ifticulty in Yeplacing the men. Many of the important models are very interesting and picturesque and offer suggestions which may be of value to the home dressmaker.

A peculiarly) vivid blue in velvet, plush, satin or other material is a relieving nore or neurial toned tailor suit and some beautiful viex rouge shades are also much used im this way. Many of the materials npon whieh Parisian tailors have set the stamp of their approval are too bulky for successful draping, though ven when they have an air of warmth thickness they are invariably of sury prising suppleness and lightness. Baby lamb cloth, soft, fleecy, with lustrous surface ripple, is one of the for exceedingly smart coats and en- tire costumes. Velours de laine, satin and wool eponge are ther materials of the soft, thick class and all are considered eminently chic. Homespuns, serges, sheviots, trends and a host of other - woollens of loose woven or rough texture are modish, but, on the other hand, there is a demand for the fimer ser- ges, for broadcloth, for the new weaves on the camel's hair order, ete, Often these paradoxical models are brought into harmony by combining one of the soft heavy stuffs with one of the lighter and finer materials and throughout the whole domain of dress combinations of material are more in evidence than they have been in many a year.

Mannish suitings, witha bengaline finish will lead in the heavier mater- ials, and many cloths manufactured for men s suits will find their way to the makers of women s garments.

The steamship grows old, and we begin to think her romantic. Five years ago we were modestly helping our friends the Americans t6 cele- brate the hundredth. anniversary of Robert Fulton om the Hudson, and now Glasgow is doitg honor to the memory of Pultbr s friend, help- mate, and fellow-inventor, Henry Bell, who builtthe first paddle steamer on the Clyds a hundred years ago.. Neither Fulton nor Bell, by the way, was the first to buld a practical steamship, for in 1802 Wil- liam Symington ran his tug, the Charlotte Dundas, in the Forth and Clyde Canal. The tug's paddle wheel -was worked by a Watt dou- ble-acting condensing engine, so that Symjngton, like Henry Bell, was only a link in the qhain which ran back through Watt to Trevithiok, Neweomen, Papin, Savety, and earl ier workers upon the great problem; But,Bell has, nevertheless, a good title to be remembered and honored in his town and countty, for he showed Glasgow how to build a prac- with jtical steamship, and Glasgow, quite characteristic enterprise, proved upon his invention paying for it. Henry Bell bad no capital, and so others reaped the fruit of his. investiveness. The Soc- ialists will no doubt consider this an example of the evils of imlividualism; but let them read farther in the his- tory of Bell, as told by Mr, McKin- non Wood in Glasgow, and. they will find that the State was worse than the individual. Bell offered his inven- tion to, the Board of Admiralty, and was backed by no ess an authority than Lord Nelson. But in vein. The State refused to make nse of a means of sea power destined to revolution- naval warfare, and the work of de- velopment was left to the citizen. Glasgow took full advantage of the great experiment and has since led the world in shipbuilding. The Centenary of the Paddle Steamer (The Morning Post, London.) willing to admit that human nature has changed or that somebod, has been forgotten. On the other hand, it is not improbable that if Henry Bell had lived and prospered, he would have opposed the building of iron ships and the introduction of the screw, just as James Watt, the inventor of the improved/ steam en- gine, discouraged its application to steamboats. It falls to few men to carry progress more than one sti ge, and the man who does 80 is often ready to oppose the next. The man who keeps the open mind when he is old and successtal, he is the really great, man, - While we celebrate the birth of the steamship, we may mourn a little for the days of the sail. The sailing ship is not-yet gone, and may. never altogether go; but she is never to re- cover her old ascendancy. And with the sailing ship we have lost much more than many reaiize. There nev- er can be such another school for seamen, and there could be no better school for men, for the sailing ship taught resource, activity, coolness in the presehce- of danger;-and- know- ledge of the sea and its moods, in a manner and to a degree that the steamship cannot gisld. One recent great sea disaster showed a race of seamen less skilful in the handling of boats amd perhaps also less adequate to an emergency than the sailing Bradlaugh s English freethinkers celebrated on Thursday the seventy-ninth anniyer- sary of the birth of Charles Brad- laugh, the arch-atheist of the last century, and in some respects the most remarkable man of his day. The Comet was a wooden boat of 254 tons, propelled by a four horse-pow- er engine. There have been a great many mile-stones ih the road which led from that to che Mauretania, with a tounage of 30,380 and a horse-power of 68,000. The wooden ships had to be changed to iron, the iron ships to steel, the paddles to serew, the screw had to be dupli- ated. The compound engine intro- duced in the Sixties made the steam- ship an economic ompetitor ues the sailing ship for cargo, as jalready become for The long chapter of these discover- ies is starred with many illustrious names, of which that of Henry Bell, is only one, and not the greatest.

Bradlaugh was born at Hoxton, England, Sept. 26, 1833, the son a Door solicitor s clerk. His formal education ended at the age of eleven, when he secured employment as an office boy. At fifteen he was a teach- er in a Church of England Sunday School. Study of the Bible led to doubts as to its truth, and the youth- ful heretic wrote to his minister ask- ing for aid and explanations. The reply of the clergyman 7was to order Bradlavgh suspended for three months from his office of -Sunday School teaciter. About this time the boy be- came interested in the temperance movement, and advertised as the boy orator, delivered several lectures for the teetotaler cause. He also engaged in a debate on religion, in which he defended orthodox Christianity afainst an Infidel,. The result was that his opponent convinced him that all sup- ernatural religions were false, and from that time until his death be was an athelst, Bradlaugh was only sixteen when he wrote his first pamphlet, A Few Words on the Christian's Creed. His parents, his employer and his clergy- man joined in a demand that he aban- don his atheistic and temperance pro- Pagandaeor leave home, employment and iGreh. The youngster, rather than F cAnt, bade farewell to all the associations of his boyhood, and struck -out for himself. Mrs. Shar- Ge English Freethinkers Celebrate: days produced, and the undermanning of our oceanliners, the poverty of our modern Mereantle Marine in trained men, is. another evil result of the change from sail to steam. The fireman, the stoker, and the jenginecr have taken the place of the sailor. (They are good men in their way, but they have not the kno edge of the sea nor the same readi ness for any emergency which distin- guished the seaman of the suiling ship. It is a problem which the shipowners and the Government should be prepared to face, for if England ceases to be 3 breeding. ground for sailots we lose one fmi- portant element of national strength. The use of Lascars instead of British seamen is -an evil that has grown to formidable proportions, and an in- quiry into its economic causes and ity effect on the mercantile marine and our naval reserve might repay a nation grown too careless in such matters. In the wonderful growth of mechanical contrivance we are apt to forget the personal element which yet remains as impostant as of old. The greater our steamships in siv and in speed the more desirable it becomes to have a plentiful supply of well-trained men to work them, and the practice of scraping along on the smallest possible complement should be discouraged both by our shipping authorities and the State. Ii it is found thatforeign competit- tion prevents the adequate treatment of this evil then we must have a re- ival in some new form of the ship- ping laws which helped to lay the foundation of our maval greatness.
