Adel ought to petition the

The HorrorJLast Week.
New York, June 22.—The har¬
vest of victims who lost their
lives in the General Slocum dis-
aster continued to-dav.
through the night, despite the
terrific electrical storrrr that
swept, over the city, the searchers
held to their grewseme work, and
e:»rly to-day tne total number ol
bodies recovered had reached
7D0, and it was expected that
everv hour miring the day would
add to the number. It was hoped
that identification would mate-
ridly reduce the large list of
missing before night.
An alarming result of the de¬
velopments of the last three or
four days has been that although
more than two hundred bodies
have bee*i taken from the river
the list of missing has remained
almost unchanged.
Today, where Die total
bodies recovered exceeded 750,
the list of missing continued weP
in excess of three hundred.
Last night proved the most,
trying period m their long vigil
for the searchers who patrolled
the river in ■search the dead.

downpour of Tam the watchers

Hotisacan's Affectation.
Rousseau lived long on bis fifth floor
Jn Paris, forgotten by the world which
he affected to despise and from affec¬
tation realty shunned, when an acci¬
dent happened to him in one of his
solitary walks. He was met in a nar¬
row part of the street l>y M. de Far-
gcau, driving very fast in lvis carriage,
and in his attempt to get out of the
way was pushed down by a large Dan-
3sh dog running before the horses. M.
de Fargeou immediately stopped his
■coach and hastened to assist the per¬
son whom his dog had thus knocked
down, but when he saw it was the
author of “JEmillus” he renewed his
apologies and attentions.
The next day he sent to ask after
TJoussean.
“Tell your master to chain up his
■dog,” was the only answer.
A Bishop’s Comment.
"Bishop IV. A. Candler was once ad-
vocating a more liberal loosing of the
purse strings and told his audience
that several years before he sent fl D
article to a paper, in which lie said,
“We pray too loud and work too lit-
ttle.” The compositor, consciously or
unconsch^usly, perpe-trated a little joke,
f or when the article appeared it read,
-\Ve bray too loud and work too lit-
t le.” “£ let it go at that,” said the
bishop. “The fact is, I believe the
printer was right, and I never ventured
*o correct him.”

French and German had proved too
imrd, but Algernon took up the study
of Italian with high hopes.
“How are you and your Italian teach-
er getting on?” asked one of Algernon's
ifriefids when the study had proceeded
for three months.
“Aw—aw, I’m just about where I
was,” said Algernon ambiguously, “but
my teacher, d’you know, he’s speaking
English much better than he was when
we began.”
