The Kentucky rammed her nose into the hank first, then the Kearsarge. stationed 400 yards in her wake, tried to veer to the eastward to avoid her, but the strong tide and heavy winds made her slip, and she drifted to the westward of the Kentucky and went aground rather than ram her. Neither of the battleships had time to reduce speed.'- Hardly were they aground when the Alabama, fourth iu line, foliowed, and, before she could reduce speed or swing away from the mud held battleships grounded ahead of her, she rammed the Kentucky with all the terrific force behind the impetus of 12,000 tons of steel. The Ken tacky was forced to return to Tomp kinsville, where an immediate inspec tion of her hull was ordered. The diver who inspected her hull would not make public the damage, it any, sustained below the waterline Her starboard quarter rail was torn away, heavy sbeel da vita snapped oil and the captain's gig cut in two as though by a keen bladed knife. Be sides this her plates were torn and twisted from water]ine,to superstruc ture. Apparently her steoring gear alsc was damaged, for slie limped back tc Tompkinsville like a wounded .bird. Besides splitting open her port bow fifteen feet above the wateiline, tlie Alabama's forward davits wore torn away, all the rail of the port bow snapped off. plates dented and the huge iron shutter on one of (he gunports torn away. The Alabama veered off into the channel and proceeded down to the Southwest Spit, where she was able tc swing around.

The accident is oue that, according to mariners, is liable to happen any time iu the Lower Bny, because of the narrowness of the channel, the high winds and strong tide that prevail there -he year round. Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, commanding the fleet, was outside the Hook when the accident occurred. Rear-Admiral Da vis, wno was on the Alabama, stated briefly how the accident occurred, but would not make any comment. According to the official statement, ail five battleships left Tompkinsville at 11.15 o'clock in the morning, under orders to steam to Hampton Roads. Rear-Admiral Evans, on the flagship Maine, led the column, displaying the signal. "Follow the flag." This order means a single column formation, each vessel 400 yards in the rear of the preceding one. They steamed out in the following order: The Maipe, the Kentucky. the Kearsarge. the Alabama and the Illinois. The Maine passed on to Sandy Hook, but the Kentucky, when about a mile and a half south of Norton's Island, found it impossible to follow the order, because of the lii^h wind mirl heavv H(if? Thp K>nr sarge, 400 yards behind her, had already been forced eastward on account of the tide, but had hoped to get into the column any moment. The Kentucky lowered her speed, struggled for a few minutes and then ran aground. The Iv ear.sarge could not get to the eastward of the Kentucky, and, seeing no other way, ^viing to westward and went aground, rather than ram the Kentucky. The Alabama, coming behind under the same speed, was confronted with the same conditions at this point, except that she was 800 yards away from the Kentucky. She tried to pass to the eastward of the Kentucky, now lying with her nose in ton feet of mud, but her steering gear was not working properly, and the wind and tide became stronger every moment. Before she could reduce speed she rammed the Kentucky's starboard quarter, then veered off into the channel. Mexico's Cotton Crop. The Mexican cotton crop for tbe year is less than 90,000 bales.

Edwards Believed by Coroner to Have Bean a Suicide. Needed Money Coming to Hig fYlfe Fi.ou> lliller Estate? Pistol and PoUon Found in Back Vard. New Haven. Conn.?Officials investigating (lit* death of Cliarles A. Edwards are more fully convinced than ever that Edward* died by his own hand. They believe they have discovered a motive for ^Edwards' suicide, although the relatives and friends of Edwards and the public still thinks Edwards was murdered. To i>ear out the Coroner's theory that it was a case of suicide, because of financial difficulties,. it has: beent learned that very recently Edwards made several ineffectual attempts to get a portiou of his wife's share from the estate of Mrs. Abigail Hiller, his mother-iu-law, who died last November. There are those who hold the view Uiat &u warns pianneu ins imiuiuk w to create the belief that be had been killed by some oue who had blocked Ui* plans to secure a part of Mrs. Hiller's property. When Edwards' death was first mentioned to Allan Maxcy Iiiller. his brother-in-law, Hiller said if the authorities wanted to find a motive for Edwards' death they should investigate his financial affairs. According to the Coroner the first sign to support the suicide theory was discovered when I>etective Donnelly turned over some leaves in the yard and unearthed a whislcy flask labeled rock and rye. He found that it contained a small quantity of laudnaum. Detectjve Owen Daley began a thorough search of the stairways leading1 from Edwards' chamber to the basement. On the stairway, with a high power electric light. Detective Daley found blood stains that led almost all the way from the rear door to the upstairs chamber. With this evidence in favor of the suicide theory Coroner Mix and the detective started a new search for the pistol. The detectives, with a rake, went carefully over the rear lot and finally came upon the pistol, the handle sticking out of the ground. It looked as though it had been thrown and Lad struck the soft earth, muzzle forward, almost burying itself. Two or tne chambers i were empty aiid the calibre was the same as that of the bullet in Edwards' head. Then a:bole'in the back door was examined. and it just fitted a bullet from the pistol, showing that the first shot had gone through the jamb of the door, Coroner Mix and those aiding him were then pretty well satisfied that Edwards had shot himself. The Coroner said he would continue I liis search to find where Edwards procured the revolver and the poison. EIGHT DEAD IN HOTEL FIRE. Guests Leap From Windows of The West in Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Minn. ? Eight persons were killed and a score of others injured in a fire in the West Hotel, Hennepin avenue and Fifth street. Seven hundred guests and employes were thrown into a panic. The fire was confined to the elevator shaft and the two top floors in one corner of the building, but a dense 6m'oke pervaded everywhere, and the excitement which followed the first alarm hurried people into the hulls and out on window ledges iu frantic attempts to save themselves. Many persons were not dressed when the fire started, shortly after 7 o'clock. The dead are: John Berwin. fire captain; W. G. Nickels, Minneapolis: Thomas Summerville, Burnside, Conn.; J. E.

Average Price of Commodities Highest iu Twenty-three Years. New York City.?The London Economist's "index number" of commodity prices for December 31 is remarkable as showing that average cost of the necessaries of life, at the end of 1905, not only exceeds all records of any month since the great rise in prices began after 1896, but is at the highest reached since the close of 1862. Prior to last year, high record of the period was the 2.240 figure of March, 1JKK). This was passed for the first time by the 2.255 at the end of last October. The "index" of December 31,1905. was 2.342. The lowest "index" ever reached was the 1.885 of July. 1897. GERONIMO'S EIGHTH WIFE. Famous Apache Warrior, Now Seven ty-six Years Old, Married Again.

Y.?The bodies of ( twenty-two persons were buried under thousands of tous of clay and quick- * sand as a result of a disaster'which , overwhelmed the northeastern part of t this village at night." ^ Rockland street, for a distance of five i city blocks?,' was swept in to. an abyss' f caused by the settling of the clay bank I upon which it stood. This for years ' had been steadily undermined by the ' brickmakers, whose yards are down the valley. The brickmakers, however, 1 ;ire expected to profit from the slide, as $200,000 worth of clay was dumped iuto their pits. ( The whole town is built on a huge r clay-hank, and the principal industry of the place is brickmaking. The top 1 layer of ground is sand about thirty J feet deep. Tlsen comes a stratum of j fairly soft clay, such as is used for brickmaking. This is about? forty feet thick. Beneath this is a soft, blue s sand mixed with clay, of the consistency of mortar and about thirty feet thick. j For years the brickmakers had been j digging away at the clay bank below Rockland street in such a manner, that they had practically undermined that ^ part of the village above. The lowest stratum of soft clay and sand slid out, and the tons of clay and sand above settled straight down. At jj the same time the so;'t mass of clay c and sand lowest down rose up like a fc great geyser, and, falling, Bettled over i the entombed part of the village. S A great fissure was seen in the ground at the end of Rockland street at 4 j, o'clock In the afternoon. Warning was quickly sent around that the clay bank was settling. Some persons ]eft their J houses and went to another part of the 5 village. Cave-ins had occurred before, but never so close to the residential section. u Into the chasm were swept thirteen houses, only one'of which stands today, 200 feet away and 150 feet down p into tbe pit. Tim was rue oniy one of the thirteen that was vacant. That the landslide occurred in three distinct u parts, about fifteen minutes apart, accounts for the fact that the lives lost are not counted in hundreds. ? Now a dozen houses, from which the tenants have fled, are standing on the brink of the abrupt declivity into which they will sink with other slides which are bound to come. For three blocks around the danger zone houses have been deserted. The ground is honeycombed with great Assures, and bits of the bank break away every few minutes. < There was a consultation among the 1 people living at the edge of the bank. They agreed that there could be no danger while the mass below was frozen, but that it would be a dangerous section should a thaw occur. Most of the people in the neighbor- j hnnrl iroi-o n wa fcpnprl lit 10.5ft o'clock by a loud rushing sound like the incoming of a huge wave as the soft clay slid out. Three houses began to settle. The first to go was a, boarding house run by Mrsf. Foley. John Burke awoke to see the sky through a great rent in the roof above him. He ran to a window n and jumped, almost into the arms of I Mrs. Foley, who had run out the front | door. They raced away just as the * house, turning completely over, went ? crashing into the pit. With this house were engulfed two Hungarians and a Swede. The experiences of others was similar. Directly after the first crash the alarm bell on the Town Hall was rung and' this brought Mayor Wilson P. Foss and the Fire Department to the scene. By the time the department arrived the wreckage was a masa of flames. > The overturned stoves in the houses set fire to them, and flames shot out from broken gas pipes. Sparks and burning brands were carried on the stiff breeze that blew from the river directly oyer the village. But for the snow that lay deep 011 the roofs, of the frame houses the whole village might liave been burned. The firemen stood aghast when they discovered that in the landslide the ? ?: water ukiiu sujjyijfuis ixiiii. ijuii. ua mt town had been carried away, and from a its broken edges tons of water were ^ pouring down "o -er the clay pits. It a was manifestly impossible to use the ^ apparatus under the conditions, and after some delay the water was turned off in that main and a line of hose laid up to Broadway. Soon ' the Garnersvilie department from five ? miles away reached the scene, and, j taking the affair out of the hands of the local department, saved the city. Among rue dead are: Joseph Albert. J!

WHO SI SKETCH OF THE LIFE < \nd a True Story of How Had Its Birth and How it to be Offered for Pu This : remarkable woman, whose naidea name was Estes, was born in jynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, comag from a good old Quaker family, for some years she taught school, and >ecame known as a woman of an alert i nd investigating mind, an earnest 1 eeker after knowledge, and above 11, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- 1 betic nature. In 18-13 she married Isaac Pinkhara, 1 builder and real estate operator, and hoif aorlir marripd life was marked bv 1 rosperitv and happiness. They had ' our children, three sons and a ' aughter. 1 In those good old fashioned days it ! ras common for mothers to make heir own home medicines from roots nd herbs, nature's own remedies? i ailing in a physician only in specially 1 rgent cases. By tradition and ex- * erience many of them gained a won- 1 erful knowledge of the curative prop- ^ rties of the various roots and herbs. * Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest ? I the study of roots and herbs, their 1 liaracteristics and power over disease. J he maintained that just as nature so J ountifully provides in the harvestelds and orchards vegetable foods of 1 II kinds; so, if we but take the pains J j find them, in the roots and herbs ; f the field there are remedies exressly designed to cure the various ? Is and weaknesses of the body, and , was her pleasure to search these out, v nd prepare simple and effective medlines for her own family and friends, c Chief of these was a rare combina- ? on of the choicest medicinal roots I nd herbs found best adapted for the lire of the ills and weaknesses pecu- c ar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pink uu's friends and neighbors learned ^ lat her compound relieved and cured t rut it Oecame quite popular among * lem. 1 All this so far was done freely, withnt money and without price, as a * tbor of love. F But in 1973 the financial crisis struck c ynn. Its length and severity were too j mch for the large real estate interests _ f the Pinkham family, as this class f business suffered most from v larful depression, so when the Centen- n ial year dawned it. found their prop- f ty swopt away. Some other source f f income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's y egetable Compound was made known f i the world. g The three sons and the daughter, a ith their mother, combined forces to v Oxon as Racers. Attempts are being made in France to train oxen for saddle" riding, and several races have been oragnized to test tlielr capacity. Tliey have been trained not only as racers on "the flat," but also as successful jumpers. The bridle and saddle used are simt- | lar in general design to those for hunt- J ers.

A Illlterse/ In the United States, 1 According to the census use of the ^ 1 term an illiterate is a person not under | ten years of age who is unable to write either in English or in any other language. In most cases the illiterate is also unable to read.

Of the native white population the proportion* of illiteracy is 46.4 per 1000, or lea? than: one in twenty. There is ground for satisfaction and encouragement is th# statistical evidence that illiteracy 1* . steadily being reduced.

Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and k herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and th4 demand gradually increased. , In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become house. hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu< ally in its manufacture. ^ I Lydia E.
