SAVED FROM THE BAY.
Two Sailors Narrow Escape
From Drowning.

Last evening there came near being an
other bay drowning accident added to the
long list of those that have already occurred
during the present year.
Between and o'clock the steward and
one of the sailors of the schooner Fanny
Dutard, which arrived on Friday last from
Port Blakeley, and which is lying in the
stream midway between Meiggs Wharf and
Alcatraz, left Meiggs Wharf in a sail boat
to go off to the vessel. The night was dark
and strong southerly wind was blowing.
A strong ebb tide was running and nasty
swell was on.
After the boat got clear of the wharf the
sail was hoisted, but the men were unaccus-
toned to bay boating aud had not got more
than 300 yards from the wharf when puff
of wind struck the boat and she capsiZed.
The men managed to swim clear of the sail
and rigging and got on the upturned keel
and cried loudly for help as they drifted
swiftly with the outgoing tide.
Their cries we're heard at Meggs' Wharf
and Ed Sennett and Frank BENIGN, the
boatmen, pulled off in the darkness TO the
rescue. The gallant bOatmen pulled nearly
to Black Point before they came up with
the object of their search, who were fast
becoming exhausted.
The men were taken from the keel into
the small boat, and Sennett and BENIGN
then succeeded in righting the sail-boat and
tOwed it to Meiggs' Wharf. The rescued
men had their clothes dried and were then
taken off to their vessel

FAMILY DISSIPATION.

Rev. t. Chalmers Easton Warns His
Congregation.
Rev. T. Chalmers Easton, at Calvary
Presbyterian Church last night, delivered
lecture to his congregation upon Family
Dissipation and Safeguards"
Mr.. Easton is perhaps little radical in
his views and stroye to impress upon his
hearers the conviction that dissipation in
all its forms is sure and direct road to
death. He condemned in no uncertain
words the Overindulgence in stimulating
liquors, which was the destruction of so
many homes that might otherwise be happy.
In his sweeping category of designations
which were calculated to end disastrously
If carried TO excess, the minister included
theater patronage and games OF amusement.
not emitting even literature.
To remedy these evils he counseled the
erection of a family safeguard and the cul-
tiyatiOn of habits and modes of life such
as would tend to unite the members of the
household, so that the home should be in
after years a place to look back to with
pleasant recollections.

SENTENCED TO DEATH,

The Numerous European Statesmen Who
Have Been Thus Honored.
Although the days are over in Europe
when monarch could command when he
suspected minister's loyalty, "Off with
his head!' it is nevertheless fact that a
number Of the leading statesmerfof Europe
OF the present day and of recent times have
been under sentence of death for political
offenses.
Count Andrassy, Prime Minister of
Austria-Hungary, who died recently, was
condemned to death after the failure Of the
Hungarian instruction Of 1913. This did
not prevent him from afterward becoming
the head of the Austro-Hungarian Min.
istry.
Signor Crispi, now Prime Minister of
Italy, was condemned to death after his first
revolutionary attempt against the Bourbon
King of Naples.
Senior Sagasta, Prime Minister of Spain.
was twice prescribed and would have been
shot as an insurgent if he had been cap
tured.
France contains in NM. Rochefort and
Ranc two men who have been condemned
criminals and members of the Government
according to the turn Of the political tide.
This has been the situation, indeed. OF
many Frenchmen. When NJ de Polignac
in 1880 was condemned to imprisonment i'm
perpetuity"-the legal phrase for life-im-
prisonment-he exclaimed:
II am condemned to Imprisonment in
perpetuity, Ell? Let me see; how long
does perpetuity last In France?i'
In this case it lasted six years. He was
liberated in 1857 outh's Companion.

The Prompt Action OF the French Gov
eminent With This Passion.
Morphinoman!a has caused such fearful
hoyoc among members of the better classes
in France that the Government has been
constrained to adopt a measure Of excep-
tional severity in the case of a country
chemist who persisted in supplying Gus
toners with the drug, notwithstanding the
various admonitl0ns and circumstances
that he had received from various quarters.
The chemist was the owner of a lucrative
practice in town in the Department of the
Disc, and among those to whom he was in
the habit Of selling morphine in large
quantities were the wife and daughter of a
leading physician. These ladies had oysr
$40 worth of the drug in their possession,
and the physician strongly demonstrated
W ith the chemist thereon.
Taking no notice OF this the latter con-
tinued his supplies to the ladies, one of
whom died from abuse of the drug. The
doctor accordingly brought action against
the chemist, who was condemned to heavy
penalty for having SOLD poisonous sub
stances. Alter his condemnation the
chemist left the district. passed new exam
nations at Amiens, and prepared TO open a
business in the Department of the Aisns
His examiners, however, while awarding
him his diploma, sent report respecting
his antecedentS to the Minister of Public
instruction, who refused to sign the di-
ploma and referred the whole case TO the
Council of State. This body has the matter
under consideration, and will in all prob
ability indOrse the refusal of the Minister.
In ordinary cases diplomas enabling per-
sons to open pharmaceutical establishments
are granted with facility, provided good ex-
aminatiOns have been passed by candidates,
and 1t is very rarely that the Council OF
State is asked to intervene. The steps taken
by the Minister of Justice may thus be re-
garded as the beginning Of a crusade
against perniclous practice which, how
ever fin de steele and fashionable, has
caused widespread destruction and made

runs back to the OUTPOST with the message
in bag tied to his back. The sentinel dogs
are said to scent strangers hundred yards
off. and directly they do SO they begin to
bark and growl. The training neces-
sary for the scouts is more elaborate,
as they have to be taught to search fields
and thickets. in which soldiers dressed
in foreign uniforms are lying in ambush.
AS soon as the animals find the enemy ii is
their business to run back to their own
friends, and so to report what they have
seen. 1t is further hoped that the dogs will
prove useful for sending ammunition and
food to patrols aud detachments on outpost
duty. The spectacle of these four-footed
recruits at drill must be very interesting
one, especially as all the ours of the neigh
borhood turn out to watch their fellows at
work, regarding them apparently with no
little envy and admiration. On the whole
the London Spectator says it "cannot feel
much satisfaction in this new development
of military science. To make them useful
the dogs will have to he kept as savage as
wolves, and, this being the case, they are
not unlikely to attack the wounded"

Memorial Services at Central Methodist
Church.
At Central Methodist Church, on Mission
street. between Sixth and Seventh, Rev. w.
W. Case preached last night memorial
sermon, yesterday being the last Sunday
before Decoration day.
The large church was filed, there being
quite a number of Grand Army men pres
ent, and the auditorium had been tastefully
draped for the occasion. Across the front
of the pulpit was dTaped large American
flag, while around the balcony extended
the trlcolor, relieved at intervals by small
Tags. The national colOrs also hung in fes-
toons about the huge organ, and streamers
OF red, white and blue extended across the
sang 'Columbia' and "The Star Spangied
Banner" and were Joined in the chorus by
those in the audience.
The minister chose for his text those por-
tons of the sixth and seventh verses of the
fourth chapter of Joshua, which read:
THAT this may be a sign among You, that
when your children ask their fathers in
time to come, saying, What mean ys by
these stones?
Then ye shall answer them"
he prefaced his sermon with an allusion
to the Confederate dead, in which he ex-
planned that of them he had nothing bitter
to say. he believed that in thousands of
Confederate graves slept honest brave and
CouSeINdllSe mtu, WHO were Inc Victims OF
birth and education.
90 L am sorry" he added, "that there are
so many Confederate graves; L am sorry
that there are so many Union graves, and
hope that the day will never come when
this nation will forget the men who sacri-
feed all to save it. AS the Jews asked of
Joshua and Laban: What mean these
stonesT so in the years to come the gener-
ations will ask: What mean these graves p
II VIII be our duty to answer them honestly
and to tell them that they are the result of
conflict of opinions. OF education and of
warning interests"
After tracing the causes which led up to
the greatest conflict of modern times, he
closed by saying: ITO those who survive
we owe a debt of gratitude. But what shall
we say of the dead2 Those brave heroes,
how well do they deserve nations graft
