The boat was old and rotten, and when the middle of the river was reached it gave way. Both men sank instantly and Miss Smith and Alice Thompson followed, after rising three times to call piteously to their mothers to save them. Robert, an eighteen-year-old son of Mrs. Thompson, dragged his mother to the boat, and she and her infant child were supported by the brave boy until help arrived. Mrs. Smith also saved herself by clinging to the submerged boat The bodies of tho two men with their daughters were re- envQrad

The Work of the Humane Society
in This City.


in This City.
AT special meeting yesterday of the
Royal Humane society considerable i'm
portant business was transacted. There
was large attendance of the directors :;
and interest in the affairs of the society
as indicated thereby, and in the discus
sion of new methods for the prevention
OF cruelty, was never greater. The
first matter taken up was that OF the
selection at q canvaSser to induce new
members to join the ranks of the Soci-
ETY.. which was finally left in the hands
OF the secretary with power to act. 1t
was decided to invite Editor George L.
Angel, of dumb Animals" Boston
publication engaged in aiding the
Humane society'S work, to be in attend
ance at the National Educational con-
yention to be held here in July, for the
purpose of explaining before the con-
vention the aims and work Of the SOcl-
ETY. and securing the aid of the teachers
in advocating humane treatment for
children and dumb animals all over the
continent. A proposition to make all
teachers in the city honorary members
of the society was well thought Of, and
after due discussion adopted. Ii is
thought that the school teachers can
render invaluable aid in forwarding to
Agent HutchinS information in cases OF
cruelty to children by parents. and
teachers will be Informed that all such
communications will be treated conf
dentially. AS further aid to securing
evidence in such cases, it was decided
to make all officers of the health de-
partment Of the city honorary members.
Mrs Alice 2. Cornish, recently elected
to position OH the board of directors,
submitted her resignation, being una
bic, from the magnitude of her duties
as an active member of several charita-
bic societies, to assume further
responsibility. Mrs. George @. White
was unanimously elected to ill the
vacancy.
