AT At GAYETY

“THE MAYFAIR TRIO” showed to a reasonably large and appreciative audience last evening at. the Gayety and When we 'say this is the best act that has been wheeled into the town for many days we are disclosing a fact that very few will gainsayThe electrical novelty alone is worth the pride. The most' pleasing feature however, is when they sing with their faces only, exposed to the flaming electric lights. The sailor dance and the Irish reel in connection with the music of high quality makes the performance one exceedingly interesting and entertaining. .

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1914.

Another Saloon for Pulaski County-Thanks to T. R. M.

Francesville Tribune. The supreme court affirmed the decision of the Pulaski county circuit court in holding that Fred Timm, of Cass township, this county, is entitled to sell liquors, although the township has less than one thousand inhabitants which was the limit fixed by the Proctor law. When Timm applied for a license a number of the residents of the township objected because of the lack of population in the township and the board upheld the objection and refused the license. On appeal to the circuit court held that denial of licenses in townships of less than required population would be establishing prohibition in all townships of less than the required population, which was not the intent of the law, which was written by Senator Proctor, attorney for the brewers; it was passed by a brewery controlled legislature and signed by Thomas R. Marshall, the brewery controlled governor.

DISASTER AT SEA COST 954 LIVES

Canadian Pacific Liner Sank Off Father Point Near Quebec In St. Lawrence River. Rimouski, Que., May 29.—0 f a total of 1,387 persons on board the Canadian Pacific liner Empress, of Ireland, when she sailed yesterday from Quebec for Liverpool, 954 were lost when the liner was rammed by the Danish collier Storstad and sank off Father Point in the St Lawrence river before daylight today, according to revised figures late tonight. Only 433 are known to have been saved. Looming up through the river mist, as the Empress of Ireland Was lying to, waiting for the fog to lift or day to break, the Danish collier Storstad crashed bow-on into the side of the big Canadian liner, striking her about midway of her length and ripping her side open clear to the stern. The crash occurred not far from the shore off Father Point, 150 miles from Qhebec, which the Empress of Ireland left yesterday, afternoon, bound for Liverpool, and ten miles from this point on the St. Lawrence. > In reality, therefore although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming in from it, the disaster was not one of the ocean, but of the river.Unlike the Titanic’s victims, the Empress of Ireland’s lost their lives within sight of shore—4n landlocked waters. ‘
