!. Saved Man Cries for His Hat.

Yes" said an old lake captain, "a
drowning man will catch at straw. I
have seen many illustrations thereof.
Most people think the old proverb is
merely figure of speech. but it is a liv-
ing truth .
SIS it true, captain" was asked, 'Ethat
the first thing a rescued man thinks of is
his hat?'' 't'
lF''Yes, SIR" replied the captain, his
face lighting up, ''that is fact, too. I
have seen ut emphasized many times in
the course of my experience. Over and
over again have been called to the as
sistance of drowning man. / would
plungein and rescue him just, let us say,
at the last instant Dragged on the
dock, gasping for breath, his voice
choked with water, the man, if he fol-
lows his instincts, will, as soon as he re-
gains the least degree of strength, sud-
denly rise from his PROSTATE posture
and stretch his arms toward his head,
then, missing his hat casually lost in the
struggle). he will cry out desperately,
pointing to his hat floating down the
river, oh, save my hatl save my hatr"
'tAnd he will never think of himself,
captainY' -'' .s
"But seldom, SIR was the reply. "A
rescued man is the most obstinate and
headlong being imaginable. He wants to
do all sorts of foolish things. He gener-
ally wants to rush up and be away be-
fore he has had time to recover his
strength. He means well enough, no
doubt, but he nearly always forgets to
present his obligations in tangible form"

Ministers Porter Does Not Seem In
clfned to Worry About 1t.


LONDON, April 14.-The Standards
Rome correspondent has held an inter-
view with Porter, United'States minister
to Italy. Porter, y said the correspond
ent, "was silent within the limits of Of
fetal etiquette. He said he had not re-
ceived any orders of recall and there
was noireason to believe he would re-
ceiye one. Both governments look for
ward to peaceful settlement of the
New Orleans difficulty. The only action
open to the Washington government had
been initiated, through Blaine has not
yet sent an official note of the fact.v
ROME, April 14.-In the chamber of
deputies today Marmuzi gave notice of
his intention to ask the government
what satisfaction had been asked for
or obtained in the case of the Italians
lynched in New Orleans. Luchini also

in this matter.

MAY WAKE UP EUROPE.

LONDON, April IA correspondent
at Constantinople calls attention to the
fact that the Turks have almost entirely
neglected the Black sea approach to Con-
stantinople and that on the other hand
the straits of Dardanelles are being
steadily fortified with heavy guns, which
would be of use against any power but
Russia. The correspondent adds that
autumn of this year will see concentra-
ted on Russia's southwest frontier, a
Russian army sufficiently. powerful to
meet any event which may possible
startle Europe from its present pacific
slumber.

sPAULDING RET1REs.
The President or the Chicago Baseball
Club Declines Reelection.

CHICAGO, April 14.-At the annual
A. g.. Spaulding declined reelection to
the presidency, and James A. Hart was
elected to succeed him. Hart has wide
experience in baseball and is thoroughly
conversant with Spaulding's methods,
SO it is unlikely that there will be any
change in the club. Spaulding in a letter
to secretary Young says he was compelled
to retire or neglect his private business.
In the course of his letter he says the
natural tendency of any professional
fearless central organization, acting with
other associations under an equitable
national agreement, it is impossible long
to retain the confidence of the public,
which is necessary to success.
