The Carpath’..i has arrived at New York. The su?' anil awful story of the loss of over sixteen hundred lives at' sea, has been told, in a disjointed j manner, but in away to give some’ idea of the greatest sea catastrophe ' ever known. With the band on the ' Titanic playing, Nearer, My God, to: Thee," with the electric lights gleam-' ing brightly, the giant monster of the ' ocean sank slowly into the deep. \s the last wave dashed over the upper; deck, h’ ndreds of men leaped into the icy water. A few of these were saved, but the greater part, hundreds of t ! them, lived s. hundred years in a few i minutes, and then sank to a watery I grave. Those vho were rescued afw ; several hours in open boats or after I clinging to pieces c* wreckage, seem ( to have been so stunned that they do ‘ not yet realize the terrible experience | through which they have passed. | That the accident should have been ■ avoided, all agree. It was known that the locality was filled with icebergs. I The officials had been so notified and , the cold weather proclaimed the fact, | b,v,i jv rertheless the Titanic rushed f:B IP-U 1 ’ ' xSI

M. Reid, Dr. E. G. Coverdale and W. P. Shrock ' —think that they would be fostering a more precious enterprise than their get-rich-quick desire and booster for the city—bu’ such was the case. They | | fostered the enterprise that made it I i possible for Thomas Yelinck, the Bohemian lad of Chicago, not only to "pop the question” to his beloved one, but take the step that led them to rhe minister in Chicago, who made their “two hearts ’beet' as one." And this is how the two, separated, in the big, big city, came to meet. When E. M. Wagner, now field manager for the Holland-St-Louis Beet company, proposed plant here, was with the company at St. Louis. Mich., among the Bohemian workers for the beet fields there that he secured from Chicago two years ago, was one Thomas Yelinck, a promising lad. Last summer Yelinck worked cheerfully, willingly and well for the farmers of St. Louis, and grew rapidly in skill so that his services were especially desirable. While there, Yelinck met among the others, a dary-skinned, dark-haired Bohemian maid, also from Chicago, who had also com' out to work among the growing beets. They worked to- : getter and the”.- friendship grew just I as fast as the beets, and ripened into a love just os sweet as the sugar that was taken from the crushed beet —but happy to say it lasted longer. When the season closed last summer, they again returned to Chicago, but not to become lest and separated in its vastnesa. continuing their friendship K trie meantime. When Mr. Wagner went to Chicago lately, for beet workers ror the fields here, Yelinck was among those who signified their willingness to work for him and came here ’..here he contracted with the Wallingford Beet company as foreman of their beet workers, and will have under his supervision a force of four Bohemians who will cul-tivate-the sixfy-flve acres of beets on the Harting far ... liappv In IGs pyosi- 1 ’jc company - IS
