BOAT SINKS; EIGHT LIVES LOST
Those Who Perished Were Asleep
When Accident Occurred.
New Orleans, April t!G.—Eight
people were lost and seven others on
board experienced thrilling escapes
from death when the towboat Eagle
of the Louisiana Petroleum Com-
pany went down early Sunday in
the Mississippi liiver about forty
miles south of New Orleans.
The occurrence was one of over-
whelming suddenness. Without seem-
ing reason the boat began to dip and
take water and in an instant was
going down, and within an hour it
sank. Without opportunity to give
warning to their companions all sur-
vivors on deck found themselves
thrown into the swift current of the
deep channel. They succeeded in
catching hold of boards, washing"'
from the boat, and managed to stay
all oat until they were rescued.
The accident occurred at I ;l'a
I o'clock and all who perished were
I asleep.

A Natural Mistake.
A teacher In a Pennsylvania pri-
mary school instructed her pupils one
"composition day" that they might,
each write he- a letter making excuse
for not invltii.^ her to an imaginary
birthday party.
The following effort of one little girl
was decided to be the best:
"My Dear Miss Alice: It becomes
my duty to apologize for not invitirg
you to my birthday party last week. 1
had fully intended to do so, but—as I
always do in everything—I postponed
It till the last minute. When I at
last stnrtud ami rMchwl your gate, I
saw the doctor's carriage standing
there, and thinking some one was ill,
1 did not think it best to go in. What
was my mortification and consterna-
tion to learn the next day that thp dc<c.
