smoke, ,tinged now and then with threatening

HURRYINc TO THE RESCUE.
Gallant Work Of the Men Who Went
to the Stranded Steamer.

ScIrUATE, Mass, March 7.-Steamer De-
Ruyter, which came ashore at Gunner's
Point last night, lies in comparatively easy
position this morning. and at low tide was
we'll out of water.
The gallant work done by the Humane So
ciety's volunteer crew and the United States
Signal Service crew from the North Scituate
station, in reseuing the crew of the stranded
vessel last night cannot be too highly COM
mended, especially that of the government
crew. When 1t is considered that the wreck
Is over three miles from the station, 1t seems
almost incredible that so much work could
have been done in so short time. PATROL
man Murphy made the distance up the rough
coast and reported to Captain Brown, who
instantly summoned the crew to the quarters
more for them, and hauled the heavy appa-
ratus to the scene of the disaster, all In less
than two hours time.
Captain Brown states that the work of
rescue was the most difficult he had expert
enced on this shore since the establishment
wreck he narrowly escaped smashing his
new boat on row of piles, driven down in
the sand by beach owners to make their
lines. After getting clear from these dan
gerous obstacles, he reached the wreck. At
ter getting six men off he started ashore,
supposing he had all On board, but when
nearly halfway back to the shore he discoy-
cred two more men standing on the steam
er's deck wildly signalling for assistance.
The lifeboat crew then accomplished the
difficult work of turning the boat in a raging
sea, and with great difficulty returned to the
wreck and took off the two men.
The return trip to shore was then made in
safety, but just as the boat touched Shore
one Of the rescued men, in his anxiety to
gain terra firma, jumped into the waves and
was thrown violently under the boat by a
huge breaker, the boat passing over him. The
into the waves. rescued him and took him to
place of safety. After the rescue the men
were taken to Captain Browns station
where they were furnished warm clothing
food and drink, and put to bed.
The volunteer crew also did good work
under the captaincy of Leonard Raymond.
whose name has been asso ciated with the
rescue of nearly every shipwrecked crew on
this coast for the past ten years.

Quoted water from Dolores river, through

the Utes are undesirable neighbors for the
settlers who have come in. The objection of
Commissioner Morgan is based on the theo-

MRS. CHANTS LECTURE.
An Interesting Presentation OF the
Suffrage Question.

At Baxter Hall last evening Mrs. Laura
lecturer, spoke to a large audience on the
subject Of Woman's Suffrage. She told at
first OF her conversion to the cause Of women
by Charles Kingsley, and the clinching Of the
conversion by an act Of legalized brutality in
her own town, where man by will gave
away his child from his wife who had slaye1
night and day to keep him In comfort during
his illness. Mrs. Chant declared that laws
that gave men the power to do women such
injustice should be changed. She then spoke
Of the particular branches Of the public ser
vice which women were best fitted by theil
home training to direct. These were the
school boards and the boards Of Door law
guardians who had charge Of the work
houses.
Passing then from what women had done
to what they might do, she said that first OF
all the proposition that women are inferior
to men must be dismissed. Man fills his
sphere and woman fills hers, and neither
can fill the others. Second, the idea that
women should work for less pay than men
should also bs done away with. She said
tudb sNiu6 thO OaiAOt w WOAndh WOuhu
ameliorate many Of the wrongs now existing
In the condition of working women, aud Of
working men too, for the regulation Of one
will regulate the other. In conclusion sh(
said that the growing internationalism Of the
world was bringing many great questions II
head, and among them this suffrage ques
tlon. Passing then to prophecy, she SAID
that America had the best chance In thu
world to make a move In the suffrage ques
tien, since the United States has the bes
constitution that any country ever had, ant
drawing frUm all the countries in the worlt
1t can choose what is best from each, and
making them its own build up wei
nigh perfect system.
Rev. Henry Blanchard presided at the
meeting. Mrs. Chant spoke in an easy. con-
yersational manner. and by many pleasing
| turns of the voice and gestures made ner
audience feel wholly at home. -e

rnE STEAM ANNOYED MIN
And He Frightened a Boiler inspect
or Terribly.


Mr.. W. s. Pearson, who formerly lived In
Portland. now resides In Minneapolis, and
this Is the story Minneapolis paper tells:
There are several reasons why Clerk W.
5. Pearson Of the board Of education, al
ways looks at his reflection In a mirror with
surprise. One Is that he Is perpetually as
tonished at nnding himself still In this vale
OF tears after an experience he had Ia Port
land, Me-, shortly after his alma mater,
Bowdoin College, had tarned him loose on
the world with her blessing. Pearson was
then, as now, one OF those energetic fellows
who never could lie around and do nothing,
and so, finding nothing else at hand at the
moment, he went into q sheepskin tanning
factory where be ran the engine and boilers,
kept the books, licked the unrully wOrkmen,
tanned skins, kept company with a hand
some girl and bossed the business when the
proprietor went to Europe. The weather
was pretty cold In the winter and the pipes
had way OF freezing up. The boilers too,
had been In use since the war Of 1872, and
had such generally dllapidated appearance
that the workmen walked around them on
tiptoe for fear OF jarring them into an ex-
plOsion. One day when work was scarce,
Pearson was sitting near the boilers to keep
warm. He had not cast Of his college lum-
Der then and was translating an ode OF Hur-
ace to pass away the time. The steam escap-
ing froa the safety valve annoyed him con-
siderably, and after standing 1t for some
time, he hung o pail OF scrap Iron on the lev
or OF the valve. This stopped the noise.
Hearing the door creak a few minutes later
he looked up and saw q picture % horror.
The Portland inspector Of steam boilers was
standing there, looking at the safety valve,
his eyes standing out over his checks aud his
hair absolutely bristltng Then he turned
around, the door slammed behind him. and
for a moment ne could be heard pounding
gravel away from the factory at about is
miles an hour. When he had gone q good
distance he raised both hands and began
shouting and hallooing., Pearson afterwards
said he thought he acted rather strangely, so
he pulled the bucket Of cast iron of the
safety-valye and reduced the pressure on the
boilers. Then the inspector came back.
| wiping his forehead. Taking Pearson's
hand In his. he said:
my friend. II were you, with your luck.
| I'D 20 and buy iron mining stock. Buy any
| thing; you can't miss 1t.
Pearson thanked him. but did not take his
| advice. The next day the boilers were con-
