* --Vv’ "*' ’•* /x - - - Pure White Lead Paint “Graded” White Lead, as the cheap, adulterated article is sometimes called, is an expensive purchase at any price. Pure White Lead costs' so little more per pound, and lasts so much longer on the building, that only the pure could be sold if the property owner was always fully informed on the subject of paint materials. To be sure of absolute purity insist on having Eckstein Pure White Lead (Hade by tbe Old Dutch Process) Mixed with Pure Linseed Oil, it is a perfect paint.

AWFUL DISASTER; 300 LIVES LOST

Emigrant Ship Goes Down at Sea Off the Coast of Spain. PANIC BREAKS LOOSE ON BOABD Captain Commits Suicide Because Hs Was Fatally Imprudent SUBVIVOBS ABE ALL DESTITUTE Pitiable Scenes Enacted Among Them; Terrible Scenes of Frantic Violence on the Sinking Ship. Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 6.—A terrible marine disaster occurred Saturday evening off Cape Palos. The Italian steamship Sirio, from Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz, Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, with about 800 persons on board, was wrecked off Hormigas island. Three hundred emigrants, most of them Italians aud Spaniards, were drowned. The captain of the steamer committed suicide. The bishop of Sao Pablo Brazil was also lost. The remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away in the ship’s boats or were rescued by means of bouts sent to them from the shore. Rescuers Loae Their Lives. Several fishermen who made attempts at rescue were drowned. Those rescued from the vessel are now at Cape Palos in pitiable condition, being without food or clothing. The Sirio struck a rocky reef known as Bajos Hormigas, and sank soon after, stern first Hormigas island lies about two and a half miles to the eastward of Cape Paios. Before he committed suicide the captain declared the steamer had 645 passengers on board and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio had 570 passengers when leaving Genoa, but additional Spanish passengers were taken on board at Barcelona, where the vessel touched a few hours before the disaster. Struck a Terror to Navigators. The steamer was threading a difficult passage through the Hormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef is a continual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately she had struck, and a terrible scene of confusion and panic ensued ou board. The fishermen along the coast sought to render every assistance in their power, and sent out boats which brought many survivors ashore. Harrowing Scenes at Cape Paloa. The survivors have gone into camp on the main square of the town at Cape Palos. Here harrowing scenes are enacted as the stricken families anxiously seek beloved members among the rescued. A mother wfio lost her three children went insane. The doctor of the Sirio gave up his wife and child as lost, but they were finally brought in by one of the rescuing boats, and the scene as this family was reunited was most affecting. LIKE FRIGHTENED BRUTES Frantic Men Spare Neither Sex, Nor Age In Their Frenzy. The scene on board was one of the worst on record. The Italian emigrants, with knives in their hands, and without regard for the women or children, fought with the greatest brutality for the possession of life buoys aud boats. Many were killed or wounded, including several members of the crew who were attacked by emigrants. Crowds rushed forward, pushing each other and fighting for places iu the boats. Many fell and were trampled to death. Dozens of men and women threw themselves into the sea. In the midst of this panic the captain and officers of the Sirio endeavored in vain to restrain the people, restore a semblance of order and organize a system of life-saving. This was not accomplished, for the vessel suddenly either broke in half or glided off the rocks and foundered in deep water. Eye-witnesses give awful pictures of the brutal panic on board. For half an hour the emigrants were masters of the situation. They completely overcame the crew by sheer force of numbers, aud this in spite of the efforts of the officers, who tried to save the women and children first. One report even states that a group of emigrants approached one of the ship’s boats which already was full, and which was about to hie launched, and dislodged the people, killing several with their knives. Just as they were about to occupy the boat themselves another body of armed emigrants came up and a fierce fight for the possession of the life-boat followed. A roll call taken on shore shows that 385 persons from the Sirio are missing, but It is believed that a few were taken bn board French and German steamers which continued their voyage after the Sirio sank. Among the survivors at CapePaiosare many mothers who weep and wring their hands for lost children, while there are also numbers of children who are unable to find their parents. The bishop of Sao Pablo, Brazil, was drowned while blessing the pas* sengers of the Sirio.

LO, THE HARVEST Is PLENTY

Bat the Laborers Are Few—Many Men Wanted In the Northwest * Fields. Minneapolis, Aug. 4.'—A bumper crop in the northwest and no men to harvest it. The farm labor situation in Minnesota is the worst in the history of the state. Fifteen thousand men are needed in Minnesota, lowa and the two Dakotas, and about 1,000 are available. The wages offered by the farmers range from $1.75 to $3 a day and board, hut the jobs go begging. A thousand men are needed at Minneapolis at as high wages as are paid in the country, but the available men refuse to work. All the railroads have made a special rate of $6.50 to any point in the harvest belt and farmers are willing to pay the transportation for men they need.

SAVINGS BANK CLOSES DOORS

Milwaukee Avenue State Bank of Chicago in Financial Trouble. Chicago. Aug. 7.—With a deficit In its accounts estimated to reach close to a million dollars and with the whereabouts of two of its highest officials unknown to the authorities the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, one of the largest outlying hanks in the city, has been closed. The failure was responsible for te death of one of the depositors and led to the suicide of another man who a month ago had placed his earnings of a lifetime in the institution for safe keeping. In the excitement following the announcement of the failure J. G. Vlsser, an official of the Loyal League, who had on deposit in the bank funds of that organization, fell dead of heart failure. Henry Koepke, a small grocer, on hearing that the bank had suspended payment, went to the rear of his store and shot himself fatally. Riotous scenes attended the announcement of the failure, and a large force of police struggled all day to keep an excited crowd of depositors—nearly ail of them foreigners and many of them women from rushing the doors of the institution. The fact that the bank was on the verge of failure was first revealed by President Paul O. Sten.sland, one of the absent officials. A letter to his son, Theodore, who is vice president, written from St Paul and received last Saturday, started the investigation which brought about the suspension. Another sensational feature of the affair was the disappearance of the cashier, Henry W. Hering. and the issuing of a warrant for his arrest on a charge of embezzlement. The shortage is estimated to be between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Disastrous spcuJation in real estate and in the security market is said to be responsible. Members of the clearing house committee were told that most of this amount was wholly unprotected by adequate collateral. '

"REDS" DISCREDITED

Great Universal Russian Strike That Was Expected, Did Not Eventuate. \ St. Petersburg, Aug. B.—The ministry of the interior has issued a statement describing the strike as a complete failure, it having attained serious dimensions nowhere except at St. Petersburg and Moscow. The statement says further that the factory inspectors are of the opinion that most of the factories will be working rull strength before the end of the week. The real intention of the government when it dissolved the lower house of parliament, as revealed by a member of the cabinet to the Associated Press, shows that Premier Stoiy pin at least intends to pursue and hold an affirmative policy amounting virtually to a determination ou the part of the administration to settle the agrarian question according to its own lights, and irrespective of parliament, and then go to the country upon this issue.

Gen. Soofield’s Son Suicides.

San Francisco, Aug. 7. Major and Paymaster William B. Scofield, of the regular army, son of the late Lieutenant General Scofield, U. S. A., retired, shot and killed himself in this city.

Nine Miners Dashed to Death.

Charleroi, Belgium, Aug. B.—An elevator In which nine miners were going down to the Marcbieuues coal mine here, dropped 900 yards, smashing the car to atoms and instantly killing ail its occupants. Their bodies were so crushed as to be almost unrecognizable.

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. B.—Edenwold, the stock farm near this city, owned by W. O. Parmer, has been sold to a local syndf&te for $50,000 and will be cut up into town lots. Edenwold was the home of The Commoner and other noted racers.
