i,tr liner Titanic, which sank curly y, s torday on the Newfoundland banka ter a collision with an iceberg, sti-l remains ir.doubt, and it is fean .i more than l,2ii(i persons were lost, a note of good cheer came from the ocean ways by wireless between one and two o\u2019clock this morning.It was in the shape of a win-b o.message from the White Star liner Olympic, one of the vessels hovering near the scene of tiie disaster, flash :ng the nows that 8G6 of the Titanic s passengers, mostly women and children, were being brought to port by the Cunard liner Carpathia.Otb.-i '¦cssels later brought confirmatory tidings.First reports were that the Carpn-thia had saved but 675 persons.The new figures reduced the list of thos-frr whose fate fear was felt by mor; than 200, and, as seems probable, practically all those saved were pas sengers, it would appear that all b.it approximately d.'it of the vessels pas Kcr.gers are accounted for.A partial list of the survivors received from the Carpathia includes the names of many women of prominence who were ; cn the steamer.After the first desperate calls of the Titanic for help bad been sent fly mg through space and brought stearin i s for hundreds of miles around speed ing to the scene, what seems to have i been an impenetrable wall of silen.ie was raised between her and the anxious world.The giant liner, as far as last night\u2019s advices appear, went to her tain without so much as a whisper of wbat must have been the | scenes of terrific tragedy being enact - .ed on her decks.In the lack of even a line from a survivor, imagination pauses before even trying to conjee- ; lure what passed as the inevitable became known and it was seen that of the more than 2,nil(i human lives with whieh she was freighted there could he hope of saving, as it appears, far less than half.Other than tiie early news last even ing that 675 persons, largely women and children had been rescued from the liner\u2019s boats by the Cunarder Carpathia, more than six hours of the night passed without a word as to BENJAMIN GUGGENHEIM MISSING.At 12 o\u2019clock noon the following message was received at F.B.Me Curdy & Co.\u2019s office : \u201cJust saw latest list of passengers saved.Name of Benjamin Guggenheim docs not appear.\u201d -.+-.MR.O.M.HAYS, I\u2019rcfrideni of Grand Trunk Railway, who in reported anion;: (hi :r who were saved at li\tho\tOil\t,i lient, while the 1\thii\triaian vas h\taid\tto\the some distance\tfu\trther away,\tit.\tVVJ\tus feared even b\ty\tthe W llll r\tSt\tar\tofficials, trying th(\tîir\tbirtf L: Cal\tictil\tate\tdifferently and y>\t-t.\tac- (.¦unite\tty.\tth;\tni they would not\t\thève real.hr\td t\the\tscene in time to\tbe\tof Bfcrvict\t\t\t\t\t The\tste\tfain\ter Virginian was\tfi\tnuily heard\tfro\trn ;\tit 2.15 o\u2019clock thir\t» n\tloi n- ing.She did not report the preseiiei-of any survivors on board, the message from her stating that she would I,ring to St.John\u2019s, Nflid., such survivors of the Titanic as she \u201cmav jescue.\u201d The fact that the Virginia,-i w.-u, to go out of her course, to put into St.John\u2019s on lier voyage to I.ivorpool was taken as a favorable indication, arousing tiie, hope that after all she might have picked up some of the victims of the wreck and whs bringing them to port.The Titanic herself lies buried two miles beneath the ocean\u2019s surface, midway between Sable Island and Cape Race.Hei position when she strur\u2019 the iceberg was given as latitude 11.16 north, longitude 50.if west.>, ccording to the Oarpathia\u2019:!

hardly have prophesied that the popularity \"f this type of pleasure vehicle would tmve grown to such proportions ps manifested to day.In tiie beginning the electric ear, similar to the gasoline car, was more or less experimental.it in volved many problems of eleet ideal and practical engineering that bad to be overcome in order to place the car upon a basis of even ordinary ef-fk'iency.Owners in those early days were j people who looked upon this vehicle as more or less of a fad and unique.With the initial battery and equip , ment and crudity of design, it could not possibly have given satisfaction.Ho rapid lias been the advancement in the manufacture of the electric pleasure vehicle that, to-day it is per haps tiie most useful and most, per feet car upon the market.It certain ly is the most simple in operation, j tiie most useful as regards utility, the most economical in maintenance.Approximately some $30,0'0a,00l) worth of electrics Imvè been sold since that year, 1895, and out of that am cunt at least $10.000,000 worth, one-third of the total value, have been sold in the Jnsf eight months.Any owner \u2018of an electric will real ize that this startling growth lias been due not alone to mechanical im provenants but to the useful variety or service this noiseless, clean, perfect vehicle presents.We Can Fill Any Doctors\u2019 Prescription 9 hat is a big broad assertion
