STEAMER LOST
NEAR DULUTH
Benjamin Noble Qoee Down With All
Aboard—Hae Crew of Eighteen
—Lake Swept by Storm.
t
DULUTH. Mich., April 30.—A terri
fic gale swept over Lake Superior last
night and the big coal steamer Ben
jamin Noble floundered and the en
tire crew of 18 men were lost. Sever
al boats tried to reach the Noble be
fore she went down, but failed, and
when they reached the scene found
only the usual amount of wreckage.
Several other boats are missing and
it is feared they may have been lost
in the storm, which was one of the
worst ever recorded at this time of
the year.
Two fast steamers have been sent
from here to search for the missing
boats.
CHURCH SERVICES
COST $4.50 A HEAD
NEW YORK.—Reports at the week
ly meeting of the Presbyterian min
isters showed that 19,248 persons at
tended the Presbyterian services last
Sunday in Manhattan. The count was
made to determine the extent to which
church attendance has been lower
ed in the last ten years.
According to these figures the av
erage general attendance has declin
ed about 20 per cent and the at
tendance of men about 70 per cent.
Ten years ago there were 52 church
es. That number has been reduced
to 42. Sunday’s count covered 39.
The count was considered fair, as
Presbyterians do not leave town so
early and the absence of sun mini
mized the temptation for a day’s out
ing.
Larger attendance than the aver
age was noted at the Fifth avenue
church, whose pastor, the Rev. John
H. Jowett, was preaching for the last
time before his vacation; in the West
End church, where the Rev. Dr. A.
E. Keigwin has continually drawn a
full congregation, and at the Madison
avenue and North Presbyterian
churches, where the Rev. Dr. Henry
Sloane Coffin and the Rev. Dr. John
R. Mackay are pastors.
The famous Brick church had 416
in the morning and 654 in the* after
noon for a special musical service,
which many strangers attended, its
membership being 947. Dr. Parkhurst,
in the Madison Square church,
preached to 319, of whom 114 were
men; Dr. Howard Duffield had at
two services in the Old First, 285
persons; Dr. Wilton Merle Smith had
545 at two services in the Central
church out of a membership of 1,
216; the West Park church, with two
pastors, had 220 in the morning and
97 in the evening; the Northminster
had 150 at two services, the Harlem
298, the Puritan, with a new minister,
had 213, and the New York, with a
.minister ready for installation, 235.
Exemptions from taxation include
|$14,000,000 of property used in Sun
day's count, and these churches raise
$1,350,000 a year. Reckoning inter
est on the investment and outlay for
maintenance, the Church news asso
ciation figures that the cost of last
Sunday’s • services was $4.50 per at
tendant.

POORHOtlSE INMATE
TO BE OPERA STM
LONDON, April 29.—When, owing
l to her sunny nature, little Mabel
Clarke burst into song the other day
at the West Ham poorhouse, she nev
er imagined that her voice would raise
her from the uninspiring vocation of
household drudge branded with the
stigma of the pauper to future com
fort and probable fame in the operatic
world. Mabel is just 14. Her parents
died recently,. leaving her homeless
and penniless, and she was taken in
charge by the West Ham Board of
Guardians. As usual with girls of
her class, she was put on housework
with a view of training her as a
domestic servant. Shortly after
wards some of the guardians while
visiting the infirmary heard her sing
ing. The dingy walls had never
echoed such melody before. The
guardians immediately sent for her.
They were not expert judges of mu
sic, but they realized that she pos
sessed a phenomenal voice. After
consultation it was decided to send
her to the Royal College of Music to
be tested. It was found she has a
compass of three octaves and a note,
and has the makings of an unusual
contralto voice.
MORE MEXICAN
CITIES FALL
(Continued from page 1.)
in the northern states, where Car
ranza and Villa control, foreigners
have been expelled, their property
confiscated, banks have been robbed,
paper money has been issued and for
eigners forced to sell, receiving
worthless money, the churches have
been robbed and mines destroyed, un
til the foreigners and Mexicans are
fearful should Huerta fall that they
will be at the mercy of Villa, the
former bandit.
\Vant Suspension Military Operations.
WASHINGTON, April 30.—The
mediators between the United States
and Mexico have requested Secretary
Bryan to call a halt on the part of
the military authorities of the Un
ited States, who are making every
preparation for a conflict with Mex
ico and seem to think that the only
use of the present negotiations are
to allow the American government to
be better prepared for the impend
ing war.
Ask Co-operation of U. S.
The mediators have asked a more
willing co-operation on the [tart of
the American government for a set
tlement and urge the immediate sus
pension of war preparations.
