SrR--I wish you to correct the report of
Dreer's escape from the rock pile, as pub
lished in yesterdays STAR. Dreer went to
the hydrant for water, and finding that the
Jail gate was open, and nobody there to pre-
vent his escape, he left. If the jailer can
not attend to his business, he should get
somebody that would, and keep the gate
locked and the fence in proper repair.

A Young Mans HerOism.

Almost every story of shipwreck is
characterized by the display Of true he
roism on the part Of some one of its
victims. And this last terrible disaster
in the British Channel is no exception
to the rule. Young Clymer, the son of
Mrs. w. B. Clymero of Philadelphia, soon
after the crash made by the bow of the
bark against'the side of the Pomerania,
found his sisters, Miss Mary Clymer
and Rose, on the deck of the steamship,
whittier they had hurried from their
stateroom. He placed his oldest sister
in lifeboat, and Rose was thrown in
by sailor. The boat was full, and the
cowardly sailors were endeavoring to
get in it. Clymer thought his mother
and the remaining sister were in the
boat. He did not hesitate. To save
the lives of his sisters he cut the ropes
which held the lifeboat to the steamship
and turned it adrift, standing himself
on the deck of the doomed vessel He
said good-by to his sisters, realizing
that he would never see them again.
The fact that he first placed the young
girls of his family in safety before think
ing of himself is not so remarkable as
the nerve and courage, the quick pres
ence of mind and ready grasp of the
situation shown by this young man of
20 years. Many men would have dallied
with fate and have hesitated to cut the
ropes in the hope of saving themselves
also. But one moment of hesitation
then would have cost the lives of all in
the lifeboat, for it would have been
swamped by the maddened sailors. 1t
was the noble choice made by Clymer to
give up his young life, full of hope and
promise, rather than to risk the lives Of
his sisters by an effort to save himself,
that marks his conduct as heroic.

The shoe business in Lynn, Mass,
during the past y months has generally
been very successful, and is cause of
much encouragement to the manufac-
turers. From Jan. l, 1878, to Nov. 9,

shoes shipped from Lynn was lS5, sos,
against 203, ,S51 cases for the CORE

An English painter has invented a
new solvent for paint. 1t is said that
the solution is simply applied to the

whatever to the hands or to the
brushes, is inexpensive, and produces no
smell.
About 60 years ago the paper-mills
then in existence in the United States
employed 5000 people, and the annual
product represented money value of
S5,OOO,0OO. In 1860 the number of per
sons employed was $4,000, and the value
of the paper manufactured $4,000, ,OO0.
In 1870 this amount had increased to
S4S, ,436, ,665; and in 1872, the last year
for which there are complete records,
the value of the amount manufactured
in thousand mills, employing $4,000
persons, was S66, 500, 1926. Between the
years 1860 and 1870, there was q gen
eral revival in the book business, and
the paper-makers pushed things with
great energy.

History Rewritten.

Professor Wheeler has been entertain
ing certain alumni of Yale with eXhibi-
tionS of his prowess as an iconOclaSt.
Among other historical images he es-
sayed to smash are reported the follow
ing; The famous saying attributed to
Louis XIV. of France. "L'etat c'est
moi, was never uttered by Louis at all,
but was said by Mazarin twenty years
before Louis came to the throne, and
said before Mazarin by Queen Elizabeth.
Sappho never killed herself by jump
ing from a rock, but died a natural
death. Leonidas fought at Thermopy-
lie. not with only 800 at his back, but -
coo, The philosopher Diogenes never
lived in tub. The story of the virtues
of the Roman matron Lucretia must be
rejected, while the story of Horatii and
Curatii is worse than doubtful. The
sons of Brutus were not the victims of
their fathers firmness but of his brutal
ity. 1t was utterly impossible for Han
nibal to have followed up his victory at
Canne, and the story Of his using vine
gar to cleave the rocks of the Alps is
absurd. SO, too, is the story of Cleo
patra dissolving apearl in goblet of
vinegar and drinking up a fortune at
one draught. Archimedes never
said, "Give me a lever long
enough and | will move the world"
nor did he cry out, "Eureka!" at any
known period of his life or discoveries,
nor was he Alexandrian library burnt.
No more did Calico say, "And yet it
moves, for all that!" since it is proved
from authentic documents that he did
not dare to. That Columbus broke the
end of an egg and thus cOnfuted his
mockers is fabulous, as also is the story
that he encouraged his followers with
brave words when the shores of San
Salvador were still out of sight. Richard
ILL.,, of England, did not kill his brother
Clarence, and the story about butt of
Malmsey arose from the fact that the
body of Clarence, who died natural
death, was transported from Calais to
England in q wine-butt. Charles Ill.
never had the body of Cromwell taken
from Westminster Abbey and hanged at
Tyburn, for the daughter of Cromwell,
apprehensive of some such ill-treatment,
had her fathers corpse secretly remov-
ed from the abbey and buried in a quiet
churchyard. Milton's daughters could
not have consoled their father in his
blindness by reading passages from the
old authors for the best of reasons
they did not know how to read
ADAM HABER, who lives in the town

friends he always spoke in high praise
of America, his adopted country. AS
report now goes, at some of these social
gatherings, Adam became little en-
thusiastic and spoke of Kaiser William
in a disrespectful and contemplate
manner, for which Mr.. Haber was ar
rested, tried, convicted, and sent to mil
itary prison for five years, which sem
