It's related an interesting incident.
He said that as woman QsabeD had
sent him from the old world, so n
woman gave him his first views of the
new world. This woman had never re-
ceived any honor or notice in history,
art or song; but in the future that would
not be the case. She was the wife of a
fisherman. 1t was the custom on the
island near which Columbus landed, for
the women, mostly wives of fishermen,
to go down to the beach when their hus-
bands We're out after dark, and by wav-
ing torches, guide them safe to shore.
On the night of the day before land was
seen Columbus, pacing the deck of the
Santa Maria, saw a light ahead. 1t was
not fixed, like that of star; it moved as
II waving direction to some unseen one,
and the great discoyerer knew, as he
had never known before, that his pa
tient search and unfaltering trust were
to be rewarded
Mr.. Albert Bierstadt, the great artist,
is now putting on canvass, representa-
tion of the scene, which will Illustrate
to future generations the welcome of
Columbus to the new land by the wife
of fisherman.

Edward Forrest, of the Standard, in q
Pitiable Condition.

Edward Forrest, comedian, employed
at the Standard theater, was taken to
Providence hospital yesterday in a de-
mented condition.
Forrest had touch of the grip in the
fore part of last week, and, although sick
enough to be in bed, kept doing his turn"
every night until last Thursday night, when
nature asserted itself and he was COM
PEELED to remain in bed. He is naturally
nervous, and the confinement and anxiety
of getting out again worked upon his
system to such an extent that he became
Eighty in his speech, and finally so much
worse that his friends took him to the
hospital, placed him in room on the
first floor and engaged nurse TO watch
him.
1t had been rumored that Forrest was a
married man and had had family trouble
lately which caused him to drink heavily
and resulted in temporary insanity. Mr..
Kelly. who is an intimate friend of For
rest. said that such was untrue; that he
was hard worker, nervous and sometimes

being the present case.
Forrest is from Jackson. Mich. His
father manages the Grand opera-house and
is person of good standing in the city.

In each Of the proposed amendments
those parts that referred to consolidation
OF the various departments into the board
OF public works were eliminated. With
very slight and immateriaI alterations the
other amendments were passed as printed.
hot discussion again arose when Kit
fingers motion 70 reconsider the Gardner
license came up for consideration. Bag
ley moved to refer the question to corpora

seemed 70 think that Bagley's motion took
precedence over kittlngers motion for re-
consideration.
shipley, Kittinger and Muldoon said
that unless kittinger's motion for recon-
sideration was carried there was nothing
before the house TO refer TO the corpora

10 reconsider.
Willis moved to transfer the license
from the Palace to the Peoples theater,
and the council agreed with him.
A communication was received from
the board of public works pointing out the
necessity for the adoption of plan by
which the cost of branch sewer work and

AN EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.
Falling Distance of Twenty Feet with
out Serious Injury.

Falling a Distance of Twenty Feet With
out Serious Injury.
Frederick Ray, a painter living at 208
Market street. was thrown to the ground,
a distance of twenty feet, yesterday noon,
by the breaking of a swinging scaffold,
striking on his head and shoulders, but
almost miraculousIy escaping fatal in
juries.
Ray and A. j.. Smith were painting the
northeast cornice of two-story frame
building located on Fourteenth street, just
south of the South school. They were on
a swinging scaffold, about twenty feet from
the ground, and one on each end. The
board cracked in the middle but did not
give way. Neither of the men was alarmed
but suddenly the board parted. Smith
jumped for a window, caught, and was
safe. Ray was in such position that he
could not save himself He fell to the
ground head-foremost and lay as if dead.
The neighbors gathered around and tried
to revive him. Their efforts were appar-
entity unsuccessful. The janitor of
the South school telephoned for DR.. D. a.
Mitchell, but before he arrived stimulants
had been forced down Rays throat and he
showed signs of returning life. When able
to move, he was placed on car and taken
to his home on Market street. At the time
he was taken into the house he was still
out of his head, and the first words he
uttered were: Hold that board"
DIR. p. b. N. Miller was called, and on
making an examination, said that the pa
tient had escaped without serious injuries.
