little folks dance.
Be l, r Matinee for the Fresh Air
Horae.
Thr little folks of Miss Marguerite
SIU ; S dancing class gave a matinee
ifii the Fresh Air Home yesterday at
tW Masonic Hall. It was a sight
, ve ll north seeing, the tiny dancers
fluttering here and there In their pret
,V ruffled frocks, or sitting in a
watchful restless row, with bright
,ver following their skilful .voting mis-
it was wonderful to see the lit
tle tots twirling, and oouftseying and
bp riding with a trained grace, passing
lately through the sober steps of
mar h, or abandoning themselves
to tii gayer measures Of the fancy
dance.
The hall "as filled with an admiring
audience that yielded wrirm and ready
applause to each graceful little danice.
Miss Stults managed her small
t-iruiK-s with remarkable ease, and
surrounded by the childish figures in
their bright array, made a pretty pic
ttpv. At the end of the programme
she changed her gown of White and
pink for one of white and black, with
large black hat and long gloves, and
in nlis becoming costume she gave a
new and original daince, La Belle Pa
risienne. This was warmly encored,
and before the general d’a racing began
she was persuaded to give one more
dance which was done in her usual
perfect manner.
Whether the little people were in
spired by the occasion, or the audi
ence. or their own natural love of the
gay art something seemed to move
them to their best effort, and it is
difficult to imagine a sight more
charming.
Asa Japanese maid, little Miss Lu
cille Fitch was bewitching, and an
other pretty oostuime dance was that
of Miss Annie /ones as a Highland
lussie. Master Allan McDonnell gave
the Sailor's Hornpipe very cleverly,
a, nd one of the best was a

JEWELS FOR DAY WEAR.
f ertainly the lime has changed since
it was considered in bad form to wear
clear stones in daylight, and the wo
man who put on diamonds for an af
ternoon party would have been con
sidered an ignorant and vulgar nou
veau riche. Now almost as many jew
els are worn in the day as in the
evening.
Muff chains studded with jewels arc
constantly worn, and a diamond or
ruby hatpin. Jeweled pins for keep
ing the lace jabot in place, together
numerous bracelets and a jewel stud
ded watch, can also be worn without
any feeling of surprise this twentieth
century. With afternoon toilettes dia
mond brooches and pins are much
worn, together with the bracelets we
have mentioned.
With tailor made dresses, however,
the matter is different. It is not in
good taste to wear jewels with a se
verely made coat and skirt. Neatness
is what should be aimed at. Plain
gold studs, a simple pin in the tie,
and rather a severe belt clasp, to
gether with rings, is all that should
be indulged in.
A HAPPY LITTLE GIRL.
There was a little girl,
And she had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
"No room for it,” she said,
“On the side of my head”—
For she lived in a flat—which was
horrid.
The little hat she wore,
Long behind and b£fqre,
Pointed up in the air lik£ an arrow,
And she had a little plume
On the top. There wasn’t room
On the side ’cause the flat was too
narrow.
Her pretty little mouth
Always pointed north and south.
As if,it only uttered "prunes” or
"prism.”
Neither "cabbages” nor “game”
Could she undertake to name,
There wasn’t even room for "rheuma
tism.”
So the dear little girl.
With her pretty little curl.
And her plume and her “prunes” and
her “prism,”
And her narrow little hat.
Dwelt contented in a flat,
For she hadn’t any room for pessim
ism.

Mrs. Walthour were assisted in re

Tell How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Cures Periodic Suffering.
While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering', it does not seem
to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia
E. Piukliam’s Vegetable Compound, is the most thorough female regu
lator known to medical science. It relieves the condition which produces so
much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors.
MISS GERTRUDE WILLIAMS.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham : —and dear friend, for snob your medicine
has proved to me; ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed.’ For several
years I suffered from Menorrhagia, or profuse and painful menstruation,
until my vitality was well nigh gone, and as a last resort I took six
bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and was re
stored to health, to the surprise of my friends, and I now sing its
praises. Gratefully yours, Miss Gertrude Williams, 75 Columbia St-
West Detroit, Mich.”
Two More Sufferers Relieved.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I had
been a sufferer of suppression of the
menses from girlhood, always appear
ing after time ahd causing great pain
compelling me to keep my bed. I
tried a number of doctors but Without
relief. Having read so many testi
monies about the good Lydia E,
Pinkham’s "Vegetable Com
pound had done, I de.eided to try it.
After using only one bottle I "felt
much better. I continued its use and
the health and strength that I have
to-day I feel I owe to you.” —Mrs.
Chas. B. Gill, 1012 Winter St., Phil
adelphia; Pa.

IN “MEHCANT OF VENICE.”
Air. Alnrslinll Darraeli’st Recital nt
Miss Hiirtriflge's School.
Mr. Marshall Darrach of New York,
one of the foremost Shakesperean
readers of the day, gave a delightful
recital yesterday morning at Miss
Hartridge's school. He chose "The
Merchant of Venice.”
Mr. Darrach is a man of pleasing
personality, strong and vigorous. For
many years a close student of the
English dramatist, he not only brings
out all the finer shading of the char
acters, but infuses into them a won
derful strength and vitality, sadly
lacking in most readers. Of ranting
there is none, of humor much, of va
riety of gesture and action much.
For the rendering of his male char
acters one can have only high praise
and appreciation. His Shylock is
masterly, the closing lines awaken
ing pity for the man doomed to the
life of an outcast, spurned alike by
Jew and Gentile. As Gratiano, Mr.
Darrach is in one of his happiest veins,
his interpretation of the part having
been largely suggested by the line:
"Thou art too wild, too rude and bold
of voice.” His Portia is not wholly
satisfying. This, however, may he due
to the fact that in his desire to make
the heroine sweet and womanly he
uses only light tones, leaving for the
male roles the louder, fuller voice.
Instead of the strong character read
in Shakespeare, the Belmont lady
seemed almost unfit for the great part
she is to play.
Altogether Mr. Darrach is delightful,
and it is regretted that so few Savan
nahians were aware of his presence
in this city and that so many missed
the opportunity of hearing him.

SINKING OF THE WAESLAND.
COLLISION OCCURRED IN DENSE

Liverpool.
Liverpool, March 7.—Further details
regarding the collision of the steamer
Harmonises with the Waesland, in
which the latter was sunk, have been
learned.
W’hen the disaster occurred Wednes
day night, the two vessels were steam
ing slowly off the coast of the Island
of Anglesey. The Harmonides crashed
head on into the Waesland. and backed
away, but once again struck the then
sinking ship, making a great gap
in her side. Though the sea was per
fectly smooth, the denseness of the fog
added to the terrors of the passengers
of the Waesland. The women rushed
on deck screaming, but were soon reas
sured by the officers. The boats were
quickly lowered, but the operation re
sulted in two fatalities. The end of
one of the lifeboats slipped from its
davit and precipitated the occupants
of the boat into the sea. A steer
age passenger. Edward Dangerfield,
of Kansas, struck his head against
the boat's fittings and was instantly
killed, and Elsie Emmett. 12 years
old, the daughter of Rev. A. Emmett,
was drowned. The other persons who
were in the boat were picked up.
As the last boats were leaving the
fast sinking ship, whose decks were
already awash, an explosion announced
that her boilers had burst, and forty
rriinutes after the first imrjaet the
Waesland gave a mighty lurch and
disappeared beneath the waves, sink
ing about midway between Holyhead
and Tuskar light. Nothing was saved
except what the passengers and crew
wore. The boats containing the pass
engers were for a time separated, ow
ing to the fog, but eventually they
all reached the sides of the Harmon
ides, and the survivors were taken on
board that vessel, where everything
possible was done for their comfort.
They will proceed to Philadelphia
Wednesday on board the Red Star Line
steamer Noordland.
An officer of the Waesland gave a
graphic description of the loss of the
steamer:
He said:
"I was taking a last look at the
weather and in so doing peered over
the ship's side, when, without the
slightest warning, there came a fear
ful crash, which made the Waesland
stagger from stem to stern.
“ 'My God! We ate struck,’ 1 shout
ed .
"Then there loomed right over our
ship's bow the steamer which had run
into us. It was terrifying, of course.
We instantly recognized the peril. The
darkness at. that time was impenetra
ble. The nose of the Harmonides ap
peared to have ea;en right into our
side. We were going very slowly, with
no more speed than was necessary to
keep headway. We were struck at
right angles, a tremendous hole was
made, and, for a moment, the stem
of the Harmonides was literally inside
c-ur ship,
"Then a rush of excited people from
all parts of the ship immediately en
sued. The passengers tumbled up Just
as they h3id retired for the night. The
women and children were in
their night dresse-A In a few instances
the passengers had throw'll a shawl or
a blanket over their shoulders. Terror
and bewilderment reigned for a few
moments, but tihe passengers gradually
ranged themselves in groups about
the decks, where they were best shel
tered, and the crew worked like clock
work in getting out the boats.”
As the last boat was leaving Che
ship’s side cries for help were heard
on board Of her and the boat return
ed and found that rtwo of the Waes
land’s crew had been left behind. One
of these men had slept throughout
the time from the first impact to the
last boat leaving the sinking steamer,
■and only discovered his perilous posi
tion when the sea water Hooded his
bunk tth rough the portholes.

Unsettled weather was the most un
satisfactory feature of the business
situation. A sudden thaw following an
exceptionally heavy snowfall produced
freshets and floods. Manufacturing
and transporting interests suffered
severely .and consumers were urgent
for shipment of delayed goods, while
great quantities of merchandise be
came stalled in transit. Preparations
for an enormous spring trade con
tinue undiminished. There is still some
uneasiness regarding the labor situa
tion at the coal mines, and at Fall
River there is disagreement as to the
length of a cut of cloth, although in
creased wages are assured. Not only
is there no improvement to be record
ed In the iron and steel outlook, but
Hoods in the Pittsburg region added
to the pressure by completely closing
many plants and damaging much cost
ly machinery. Recent destruction by
the elements makes an unusual de
mand for structural material, and on
spot business buyers gladly pay pre
miums of sti n ton above list prices.
Coal shipments have been curtailed to
such an extent that dealers supplies
are low and quotations very strong.
Cotton goods are well sustained, the
stronger raw material giving all the
advantage to sellers, but there is
much uncertainty as to the labor sit
uation. This tentds to make the mills
conservative regarding the acceptance
of contracts for future delivery.
All staples steadied and some rose
Fihar.ply, the net changes for the week
amouratlng to a considerable advance.
Speculation was quiet with many
guesses as to the ooming report of
farm reserves. For the firs* time in
tihls crop season cotton showed an ad
vance over the price at th' corres
ponding date last year, and it Is sig
nificant tiiait the higher figure failed to
attract heavy selling at the South.
Failures for the week numbered 176
in the United States against 208 last
year, and 17 in Canada, against 26 last
year.

Minister.

cente Concha, minister plenipoten
tiary to the United States from Co

days ago from Bogota, has addressed
an official communication to William
Nelson Cromwell, the general counsel
of the new Panama Canal Company,
on the attitude of Colombia with re
gard to the construction of the Pan
ama canal. The communication says:
"I beg leave to state in answer to
your specific inquiries that the cable
communication made to the Panama
Canal Company by my government
was not declaratory of opposition to
the proposed transaction between the
canal company and the United States,
if made under the reserve of an agree
ment between Colombia and the United
States. 1 take pleasure in confirming
my assurances to you that the gov
ernment of Colombia does not at alt
object to the sale and transfer as
proposed by the canal company to the
United States, but on the contrary,
my government approves of the steps
taken by the canal company and will
give ail requisite consents and do all
in its power to facilitate the matter
under the reserve referred to.
“This concurrence of Colombia in
any sale by the new Panama Canal
Company to the government of the
United States is with the reservation,
of course, that a mutually satisfactory
convention shall be agreed upon be
tween Colombia and the United States,
as to their respective rights and rela
tions! to the Panama, canal, to be con
structed by the United Stales; and we
have not the feast doubt that such
agreement will',Joe reached.
■ "Animated by this spirit and gov.
erned by these views, I have been em
powered by my government to proceed
with the ponding negotiations with
this government; I am now developing,
and very soon shall definitely submit l;o
this government the views and pro
posals of Colombia upon the subject,
with the design of encouraging a
speedy and full consummation of the
purchase by the United Stutes of all
the rights, concessions and properties
of the new Panama Canal Company,
and as far as permitted the transfer to
a foreign government by the laws of
Colombia.”
MA Y MAKE BIG BOND ISSUE.
Tlie Steel Corporation Contemplates
H g!250.00ll,00n Addition.
New York, March 7.—Leading inter
ests in the United States Steel Corpora
tions say that reports of a proposed
conversion of the preferred stock into
bonds are premature. It is said that
the proposition has been discussed by
the Financial Committee, and has been
taken up in a casual way by the di
rectors, but beyond this, nothing has
been determined.
According to report it is not un
likely that it may be deemed advisable
to issue bonds to the extent of $250.-
000.000 without any disturbance of the
present preferred stock issue. This
can be done, it Is pointed out, by
charging the bonds to account of one
of the subsidiary companies of the steel
corporation. The purpose of such a
move has not been made clear.
