STEAMER OVERWHELMED AND HUNDREDS DROWN Rotterdam Mail Boat Ber- lin Torn in Two at Hook of Holland LONDON, Feb. 21.—The worst disas- ter for many years in the history of the busy cross-channel traffic between England and the continent occurred during a viclent gale shortly before € o’clock this morning, when the Rotter- dam mall steamer Berlin, from Har- wich to Hook of Holland, having sat- tsfactorily weathered the hurricane, | was wrecked as she was entering port. Altogether 143 persons are either dead or clinging hopelessly to the wreek. The terrific seas broke upon the steamer with such awful suddenness that all attempts to save life seem to have been hopeles: Late tonight it | was reported that a few survivors were | clinging to the wreck, but as the herolc efforts of #he lifeboat crews to reach them, which lasted all day, had fatled, little hope that they would be saved remained. The story of the disaster is told with dramatic inte ne! by the following | brief mnnxefi-uhln‘ Harwich from | the agent of the Great Eastern Rail- | way Company at Hook of Holland. The first message received at 6:30 this | morning follows: | TALE TOLD IN FEW WORDS “The Berlin is stranded at the north pier. Her position is very dangerous. There is a heavy gale blowing. Tugs and lifeboats are golng out to her as- sistance.” The second message, at 7:30, says: “The position of the Berlin is still dangerous. The heavy gale is still blowing. We have tried to take off the passengers with tugboats and lifeboats but without success up to rthe present time.” The third message, timed sald: “The Berlin has broken in two and very probably will prove a total loss. Her crew is still on board. Liféloats and tugbo:u are trying to nve he passengers.”’ The fourth message came’ throuxh the London office of the rallway company. It was timed 9:10 a. m. and read: “It is impossible to save the passen- gers. The poop of the ship is under water.” At 10:36 came the fifth and last I'ncl- sage: “The Berlin Is a total loss, with all her crew and passengers. Nobody has been saved.” No cause has yet been assigned for the disaster and it probably never will be known how the steamer came to miss the channel. It {8 conjectured that some derangement of the engines or steering gear may have rendered her uncontrollable. Captain Precious had a good record of fourteen years' service. FEW CLING TO WRECK The list of passengers on the wrecked | steamer was lost and all the names of those who were on board have not yet been learned, but as far as has been ascertained there Wwere no Americans among them. At an early hour this morning the Great Eastern Railway Company re- ceived a dispatch from the authorities at Hook of Holland saying: “Up to the present<iime only oné passenger, Patterson (Captain Parkin- son?), has been saved. There are still some people alive on the wreck and we hope to rescue them tonight.” Among the drowned are Fraulein Schoen of the Mannheim Opera Com- pany, who sang the Wagnerian parts Elsa and Elisabeth last week at Covent Garden; M. Orelio, barytone, of Am- sterdam. and Mmes. Stellmach and Memmler, who' all sang minor parts; Fraulein Buttel of the Court Theater at Berlin and Fraulein Gobel of the Court Theater at Dresden, who acted §vluden of the chorus during the 7:52 a. m., | yvent Garden season.

P BT WOMAN GONFECTINER TRNLS PETTY THEVES Mrs. Morrell Too Sharp for Men Who Steal From Her Stores To be the proprietress of several candy stores seems to tend to a “sweet- ness” of disposition, at the expression of which even Judge Cabaniss must Mrs. stand aghast. the head of the ating the several “Sugarie” stores in the city, has made herself unpopular with certain policemen and Morrell, company at oper- the prosecution of criminals; but by her mercy three miscreants have been given a chance to reform instead of serving merited sentences of something like a year each behind prison bars. The lady's mercy seems hardly in keep- ing with her detective ability and her success, with the ald of two policemen, in capturing a trio of systematic thieves and recovering the bulk of the stolen property. At the various Sugarle establish- ments, many persons are employed and the most active and skillful of those are the dispensers of soda water. Mrs. Morrell had three such employed, who should have been satisfied with the pleasure of serving soft drinks to pretty girls and being pald $30 a week for the service. But these three young men—one in the Haight-street store, one in the Eddy-street place and one in the establishment on California street, néar Van Ness, where soclety shoppers are wont to congregate for effervescent refreshments or boxes of confections, were tempted by other things. Spoons began to disappear. Then in each of the three stores a new silver mold for-making a special brand of Sundaes was missed from its proper place. Boxes of high-priced French candies began to |leave the store without corresponding compensation checked up in the cash register. Mrs. Morrell took notice. She made inquirfes. She found an intimation that her elite patrons were suspected of removing silverware as souvenirs. Then she heard that one of her skill- ful young men had carried away an lcecream mold. That gave a clew and that three of the soda dispensers were about to leave for parts unknown Mrs. Morrell enlisted the assistance of Sergeant Lane and Policeman Maloney. With the bluecoats as companions she began her quest at midnight Monday. At 4:30 Tuesday morning William Gee, Leigh Yount and Jess Kirby were housed in the city prison and from their packed trunks Mrs. Morrell had recovered the stolen goods. Gee lived at 1308% Waller street and ad left his trunk and ticket with his landlady, with instructions to have an expressman check his baggage to its destinat] Yount lived at 5 Lib- erty strfet and had sent his trunk to the depot.” Kerby's trunk was in his room, packed for shipment.

A National dic- tionary, a souvenir slipper, -a silver cream pitcher, spoons, dishes and pack- ages of candy were found.

The Bishop's attitude is that of being ready to work in any fleld to which he may be assigned and of refusing to take any part in any effort to bring about a change. The recent death of Bishop Strange of Fall River, Mass. caused a vacancy in that dlocese, a district in which Bishop Conaty served for years as a priest. His many friends throughout Massachusetts are trying to secure his appointment to the vacancy in ques- tion and it is reported here that thers are tangible indications that they will ucceed.

It Takes Nerve Everything depends upom your nerves. It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body; it is nerve foree that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your vein¥; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food, your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact; nerve force is the ower that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, canmot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system run- down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles’ Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves.
