NIAGARA FALLS. Sept. S.--Stevs
Brodie, the bridge jumper, went over
Niagara Falls in rubber suit yesterday.
He went over the center of the Horse.
shoe Fall and was picked up alive but
unconscious, the blood pouring from his
mouth and ears Later he recovered
consciousness, and is said to be not se.
riously hurt. Brode's leap was made
just after daybreak. Hetookthe precaution
to pad h's body heavily with cotton
fifty.two inches around his waist and
sevsnty.6ve around his chest Over this
was placed rubber suit and the body
was protected by two steel bands.
Brodie entered the stream with q
paddle 10 his hands to direct his course
as much as possible. He managed to
steer fairly the distance OF about two
hundred and fifty feet, which brought
him to the brink of the cataract. He
was lost to view fully two minutes in the
fam and mist of the falls. He aimed to
go feet frst, and probably succeeded in
this. although the spectators are not
sure. Suddenly small black spot was
seen tossed like cork 10 the seething
waters at the bottom and Brodie was
whisked like bit of straw to the Ameri.
can shore first. then whisked back to the
Canadian side-with the .veiasity of the
wind.
The plans for Brodies rescue were we'll
laid. John Ledger and w. +. Harding
were on the Canadian bank with q rope.
Ledger at once rushed to Brodie's relief,
catching him as he lay insensible in the
current. Ledger fastened the rope to
the bands around Brodies waist and
swan with full forcs to the shore. He
made it safely. Brodie was promptly
stripped and piled with brandy and am.
moDia for twenty minutes before con.
seriousness revived. His first show OF life
was to shiver like leaf and make wild
gestures with his hands.
This is probably the greatest successful
feat ever attempted. 1t was witnessed
BY only,a small party Of sportiog men
and reporters, who went to the falls uu.
announced and rsgistsred false names to
avoid interruption.
Brodie says that as soon - he got into
the river he was sorry he had made
the attempt to 60 over the falls, and
when the swift current swept him to the
Horseshoe he would have given anything
to have been safe on the shore again.
When be approached the, brink of the
cataract he felt as if he were. geiog to
meet certain death. The one brief mo.
ment before he crossed the brink he
knew no more lty9la&Aj axAsG gBl

IA GA indian Workshop.

Tic geological survey, through Profes
sor VI. H. Holmes, has recently made
some most important discoveries of In
dian relics just west Of Washington, on
what is known as Pincy Branch hill The
find appears to be the remains of an
Indian workshop for the manufacture Of
implements. weapons, etc. The spot has
been excavatel and implements have
been found clear to the bed rock. The
discovery is considered to be of the great
est importance by archeologists. 1t car
ries our knowledge Of the ancient inhab
itants of this locality much further back
than any previous discoveries.
These Clipped stone implements found,
it is said, go back to the raleolithic az
and show the country to have been in
habited at much earlier period than
has been generally supposed. Imple'
ments of this class have never before
been found except upon the surface, an'
it has always been 4 question among
scientists as to what they referred. These
instruments discovered by the survey
bear marked resemblance to instru-
ments found in France, which have been
referred to the same ancient period OF
the worlds existence MIR. Holmes will
announce and discuss his discovery in a
paper to be read before the Anthropolos-
ical Observation-Disclosures Star

A Historic Mark.

An order has been passed by the trus-
tees Of this city which, if carried into ef-
feet. as we believe it will be, will work
the demolition OF all that remains of the
buildings that once stood within the pail
sades of Suffers fort. The order directs
that the streets be opened through the
property. Not only will the last remain
ing relic OF the historic spot be thus oblit-
Grated, since street line cuts through 1t,
but the plat will be divided into small
parcels and its identity lost to history and
to human interest. The owner of the
property is a nonresident OF the city; he
derives no rental from it, unless q meagei
pasturage pays him a small sum, and he
will not sell to those who wish to restore
the fort and convert the plat into park.
II all appeals to the owner fail, if he re-
mains deaf to the hundreds Of requests
that have been made, and still refuses
to name his price, we propose when the
streets are cut through, that at the inter
section Of the highways there shall be
planted simple enduring stone to marx
the spot where John A. Suffer raised the
American flag and gave shelter to the
early pioneers of California. And that
on the stone there be inscribed the fact
that certain citizen of Chicago-namine
him-stubbornly refused to sell the his
toric spot to the people for reserve at
any price. Record-Union.

The Errstic St. Lawrence.

sThe St. Lawrence river" said Clay.
ton member of the Cogburn club last
evening, sis a most cratic as well as
beautiful body of water. You have prob
ably noticed several items in the news
papers of vessels sailing on it running
aground because of low water. just
think of it-low water with the almost
continuous rains we have had the past
spring, summer and fall! But such is
the fact And in some other generally
dry seasons the st. Lawrence has been
unusually high. 1t is said that the grand
old river has one of those low spells
sinking fits, so to speak-every seven
years, but I can't vouch fog the truth OF
that. The fact remains, however, that
it is unlike any other body Of water ]
know of, and when other streams and
neighboring lakes are high the st. Law
renee is apt to make contrary showing.

Liberty Statue Unjustly Maligned.

At the recent congress of the Ameri'
can Ornithologists' union, Jonathan
Dwight, Jr., did public service in
reading a paper on Birds That Have
Struck the Statue of Liberty, New York
Harbor." Considerable uneasiness has
been felt for some time on the subject
Of the sacrifice of migratory birds to the
Turing brilliancy of the Liberty and
other lights, and many exaggerated
statements have been made in the
papers. All alarm, however, is now dis
sipated by the fact, which Mr.. Dwight
places on record, that the whole number
of birds killed this year at the statue OF
Liberty is 600, which is considerably less
than last year. Of the dead birds picked
up this year 60 per cent. belonged to
one species, the Maryland yellow
throats.-New York Commercial Ad.

Tho German Empress, Crown.

Emperor William has much smaller
head than his father and grandsire and
the imperial crown, therefore, does not
fit him. 4 new one was ordered several
months ago, and it was ssat to Berlin
on Monday, Oct. II. This new emblem
of sovereignty weighs lees than three
pounds, although made Of massive gold;
therefore the head beneath will not be
so uneasy after all. 1t is ornamented
with 100 diamonds, the ball which sur.
mounts it consisting Of simple polished
sapphire.
The empress is also to have a new
crown as well as her lord and master.
There will be less gold about it and
more stones, 1900 diamonds of different
sizes mixed with few pearls.-Paris
