XEW YORK, Fcb.3. With scores of nerve-racked actors in the sea traeedv off Nantucket Island still housed everywhere about town all New York is today buzzing with the aftermath of its greatest sensation in years. In the retirement of every hotel on this island the still bewilder ed passengers of the Republic and the Florida are surrounded by friends and family half crazed with anxiety and joy. The heart of the metropolis which hung in sickly suspense over the sea wall for a day and a night, is now beating hard with the reflex joy of taking to itself these scores of human beings whom only the tele graphy of the sky sparks drew back from the brink of eternity. In the new man-harbor of the American Sea men.s Friend Society a hundred rug ged tars are today assembled from the crews of both colliding liners, while the kits and clothes which they sadly lack are being furnished them by friends of the Society. To most of these seafarers there is noth- HAVLIN'S HAND PAINTED CHINA We have recently received a large shipment of "Havlin" Hand Painted China, - - - At Lowest Prices Our reputation as the , most reasonable store in the city is further demonstrat ed by our low prices on these fine ' goods.

It will be many a year, however, be fore Gotham forgets this sudden shock to its attendant army of ocean greyhounds. . SHUTTING STJOHN'S. While only a few hours remain before the quaint old chapel of St Johns's is to be forever sealed to its worshippers by the trustees of Trini ty and its sacred site devoted to more lucrative commercial uses, public in dignation against this act is to-day running high. Straight as the spire of the little house of worship, this in cident has pointed out the business dealing of this group of churchmen for all New York to see. Though a few thousands may be saved and made by this shrewd step in finance it is prophesied that it will take many years and much expenditure of money on its tensment holdings to again restore the Trinity corporation to its former standing with the whole peo ple. Meanwhile the first of February will mark the loss of many old and dear associations for hundreds of parishioners who suffer because to certain minds skyscraper tenements pay better. OUTDOOR OPERA. Never in his career has Oscar Hammcrstein offered a better comic opera attraction than the spectacular street brawl in which he has seen fit to engage with a belligerent crowd of newspaper men here. To-day the final act in court has yet to be pro duced, though an amused audience is eagerly waiting for the next outbreak of fuss and fisticuffs. Though the impresario's insult to some working members of the paper.s staff is really resented by every right minded man in town, the public has taken the en suing engagements with little serious ness or sympathy. Park Row was never wont to notice or seek to meet such slurs with rough house tactics and newspaper men in general regret this squabble in which some of their number have seen fit to engage. An army of clean, decent workers upon the papers here to-day are disapprov ing Hammerstein's mud slinging by their daily actions without the use of fists or epithets. TAFT TO TEE. Every man in town who swings a brassie is today hailing the announce ment that President-elect Taft has accepted honorable membership in in one of the golf clubs down on Stat en Island. While the golfers of the Fox Hills have stolen a march on thousands of their brethern through out the metropolis in this coralling Big Bill as a clubmate, it is not be lieved that they will long retain ex clusively this honor. On every links about Manhattan. Island, to-day the speedy acquisition of the distinguish ed exponent of the game is being meditated and ways and means dis cussed. Taft may tread scores of mi les of golf greens and scale thous ands of hazards hereabouts as a pre mier member if he will but say the word. The, rotund President-elect bids fair tq popularize the game of Scots in the city in spite of the. fact of John. D. Rockefeller's devotion to it. J DR. ADi SATISFIED lilIU'lEflll HER FAMOUS BILL PASSES THE SENATE AND IS NOW BE FORE THE HOUSE. The following chcenul letter has just been received from Dr. B. Owen Adair, of this county, with regard to her bill, now one of the famous pro vision before the Oregon Legists ture. It is a substitute for her original measure, and to the casual reader seems to have been shorn of all its essential strength; but if the good doctor is satisfied with this, as an "opening wedge" as she calls it, then no one else may justly complain of it. It is Senate substitute bill No. 68, and is now before the House of Reoresentatives. Her letter is as follows: ' "Salem, Or- Feb. 1, 1909. "Editor Astorian: "With great pleasure I now send you s copy of my bill which, has just passed the Senate by two-thirds ma jority. I cannot express my 'great satisfaction for this victory, and I have fine hope of success in the House. One of the members of the House said: 'I hope we may pass it with at least 48 votes.' "This is a substitute for my first bill, at my own request, for I found that it would be impossible to pass the first bill. .The Oregonian says the committee spoiled the bill by amending it. Hut there I a great deal (n this bill, and it will be nit opening wedge for many improvements, if it becomes a law. I shall stay here till I know the fale of the bill; then off to Olympia.

"A Bill "For an act entitled an act to pre vent procreation of confirmed crim inals, insane persons, idiots, imbeciles, and rapists; providing that superin undents and board of managers of institutions where such persons are confined shall have the authority and are empowered to appoint a commit tee of experts, consisting of two (2) physicians, to examine into the men 4al condition of such Inmates, and to define who shall be deemed confirmed criminals wilhin the provisions of this act.

No budding millionaire has stepped forward to accept Judge Finn's offer of appointment as his unsalaried pro bation officer since young Jay Gould was squelched by a stern parent in volunteering , his, services. Though this ambitious stripling of the House of Gould had been quoted as enthusi astically offering to take the dis agreeable duties of this police court post for shrewd old "Battery Dan" Finn, his father has managed to keep him out of reach of reporters ever since and it is, believed to-day that the judge will have to look elsewhere for a volunteer. The Vandcrbilt boys have been suggested; but their previ ous engagements in the horse show ring render assistance from this quar ter hopeless.

NEW YORK- Feb. 3.-Passengers in the Pennsylvania Railroad station at Jersey City were horrified last night to see the head of a man lodged on the cowcatcher of a locomotive as it drew into the depot. Employes of the railroad, seeing that there had been a tragedy, had the head, togeth er with few scraps of clothing remov ed to the morgue and an investiga tion was begun. It develped that the victim was W. Weber, general fore man of a grain company, who had been struck at Railway, N. J-, early in the evening. His mangled body was picked up near the scene of the ac cident, but the head, it was noticed had been carried into the station at Jersey City. Fast Freight Service ball j Service Via THE A, Q C. RR.
