THE LIFE SAVING SERVICE.
Report of Its Operations During the Last
Fiscal Year


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The report of the
General Superintendent of the Life Saving
Service shows that at the close of the last
fiscal year the establishment embraced 211
stations-165 being on the Atlantic, IS on the
lakes, on the Pacific and l at the
falls of the Ohio, Louisville, KY. The

of shipWrecked persons who received sue
cor at the stations was S07, to whom 1000
days relief was afforded. The estimated
value of the vessels involved in the dis
asters was S4,42S, $50, and that of their
cargoes 81, O73, sos, making the total value of
property imperiled $500, 135 Of this

Cured during the year exceeded the record

tension of the service to the sea and lake
coasts. In one storm there were no less
than thirty shipWrecks within the scope of
the operations of the service, and in a single
day (the 9th OF january there were TWEEN

the average, and, although the vessels and
cargoes totally lost were twenty more than

AN APPEAL TO LABOR.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Urges Cooperation in Its Reform Cru
SADIE.
Chicago, Nov 30-The National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has issued an
address to the Knights of Labor, trades
unions and other labor organizations ask
ing their cooperation in the principles of
the w. c.. T. IT, The address starts out
with an expression of sympathy for
the labor methods, which involve CO.
operation, arbitration and the bal
lot-box, AMI deploring measures in
of property, or harm to life or limb, and
stating that such measures must be equally
deplored by the thoughtful and responsible
men in labor's ranks. The union is
especially pleased to note the hostile at
titude of the Knights of Labor toward the sa-
loon, and mentions that 81 400, 100000 annual
lyldrawn from workin g-men by saloon-keep-
ers and cigar-dealers means less -four in the
barrel, less coal in the cellar and less clothing
for the laborer's family. The address re-
quests cooperation in the endeavor to Sc
cure adequate protection by law, for the
daughters of the poor and rich alike, from
the cruelty of base and brutal men, in en-
ueaVOf5 TO preserve Ino American fodDDdlH
with it's rest and quiet, redeeming it from
being as now the harvest time of the sa-
loon-keeper, when he gathers in the hard
earnings of the working-man and promises
cooperation in efforts to secure the Satur
day half-holiday. The address also calls at
tention to departments of evangelistic tenn
perance work; work for railroad employees,
lumbermen, herdsmen, miners, soldiers and
sailors; to the efforts to organize free
kitchen and kinder gardens and bands of
of hope; to supply free libraries and read
ing-rooms, temperance lodging houses and
restaurants, and to reach out helping
hand to fallen women as we'll as fallen men.
The cause of prohibition is commended to
the working man as being pre- eminently
his cause, and asks the laboring classes,
with their balance of power at the ballot
box, to cast their votes for prohibition
laws, and those in favor of them. The
union unites in the hope that all labor
organizations may see their way clear to
assist in the Acknowledgement of women,
casting their votes for such men and
measures as are pledged to help on such
cause.

FRENCH SYMPATHY.

The Municipal Council of Paris AIaIos an
Appeal, Through Minister McLane, for
the Pardon of the Chicago Anarchists.
PARIS, Nov. 29.-The following is the text
OF the petition for the pardon of the Chica-
go Anarchists, as drawn up by NJ. Charles
Longuet, and signed by the Presidents,
Vice-Presidents, Secretaries and nearly all
the members of the Municipal Council of
Paris and the Consul General of the Seine,
altogether about fifty signatures, that was
presented Saturday to Mr. McLane, the
American Minister:
ITO -Nr. Robert H. 4HcLdRe, ambassador Ertrd-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentidrg from the
United States Of 4BaeFica-DEAR SIR: The I'M
dersigned, members of the Municipal Council of
Paris and of the General Council of tbs Seine,
have the honor to appeal to you for your dis
tinguished intervention in the hope thai it will
not fail them in a question which is one of hui
m2nity. 1t is with profound emotion that
they have seen an American jury bring in
seven sentences of death against men accused
Of political crimes, andi is with genuine attic
ton that they have heard of the preparations
for their forthcoming execution. For long years
It has been the boast of the great Republic-to-
ward which the gaze of the French and the
European democracy has always been turned
never to have known these acts of vengeance
and of reprisal that have drenched with blood
the political history of so many modern nations.
1.-The Republicans of France envied the cool
ness, the courage and moderation of their
brothers in America, sufficiently masters of
themselves, sure enough of their power and of
the right on their side to spare those who were
vanquished in the Southern rebellion. The adj
mirers of your institutions and of your man.
ners still hope that these noble traditions will
neither be broken nor furnished by the punish
ment that menaces the seven condemned men
at Chicago.
''They appeal specially to the clemency of the
local authorities, and implore you, NJ. lie Min
istre, to transmit the expression of their feel
ings and their wishes to the Governor of Illinois,
Pray accept the assurance OF the profound re-
spect of the undersigned Municipal Councillors
OF Paris and General Councillors of the Seine"

prosecution of John Dillon, the boldest and
one of the ablest of the National leaders, is
looked upon as the opening shot of a sharp
coercion campaign. Club circles in
this city naturally approve the Gov
ernment's decision in the Dillon affair.

He Wanted to Die.

NEW York, Nov. 30.-A young man
named William Kurtz, eighteen years of
age, living at 1877 Christie street, attempted
to commit suicide yesterday by jumping off
the Brooklyn bridge. He was terribly
injured, but will probably recover. He
turned two somersaults in the air
and fell on his back in the water He
disappeared at once. The water seemed to
suck him in and the spray splashed up sew
eral feet in the air. The captain of alighter
steamed out and picked up Kurz. The jump
er was under water about five minutes.
When picked up he was frothing at the
mouth and too exhausted to speak. His face
had yellow look and his eyes were CLASSY
and vacant in expression. He was taken
to the Chambers street police station,
where he told the officer in charge that he
wanted to commit suicide.
