the fireman. whose name is unknown,
was drown Il.

the tug. ON board were also j. a. Bid

and Thomas Bolan. a deckhand. All
those were saved through the quick ac-

foot of FOrt!Cth street
Tho tug had in tow barge No. TO- be
longing to the Company. for Rush d Den
wen, and was trying to effect landing
at their dock ut the foot of Fortieth
street. The wind which was blowing
gale at the time. made the work very
difficult
The tug was about. to enter the slip,
and swinging around attempted to go
alongside the barge to force her UP the
dock.
As soon as the hawscr was loosened
tho barge became unmanageable, and
before the tug could again get out OF the
way the two came together with ter
rible crash
The collision tore away the doors lead
ing into the engine room. mad the waves,
which were very high, soon flooded the
decks and filled the engine room,
The crew made, every "ffort TO save

about like a shell, and 1t soon became
evident that she must go down.

Captain Apologize saw the fireman

pulled him on deck from the engine
room.
The Brilliant was considered one of the
best tugs IN the Complny's service. She
was sixty-tive feet long. with sixteen
foot bt-.h and seven-foot draught. She

AfcctatiOn i'm Talking.

In good talking the manner is almost
as important as the matter, and to con-
tinue with the remark that most Of us
have too much manner Is my inconsistent
part. That imbecile notion, worthy only
of the tenth stratum of society. that af-
fectation Is refinement is wide prevailing,
and lest some one should be natural
in spite of 1t, the Delsarte system of in
culcating self-consciousness has let loose
upon an already suffering world set of
young women who not only talk with
their mouths, but with their noses. eye
brows. elbows and spinal columns. Add
to these the misguided creatures who do
not know 1t Is as incorrect to drop an
"r" as a g." who call sideboard a
buffet. a handkerchief a mouchoir. and
imagine that that way elegance lies,
and It no wonder we hold dancing par
ties instead OF Conversations. We
couldn't stand the latter.

BABY's LOOKS MAKE TROUBLE.

There Is a baby ZIP on Eighth avenue.
It came into the world recently, and was
chrstencd on Christmas Eve. II looks

It resembles the closer. and at the christ

A Persian Boudoir.

A Persian lady's rooms do not occupy
much Of her time or attention. They are
very simple. and taste plays no important
part In them. The walls are either plain
ly tinted, ornamented with scrolls, carved
in plaster or inlaid up to the ceiling yith
fragments Of looking-glass. Her bedding
by day Is rolled up in a corner OF the
room she generally inhabits. On shelf
in every niche stands a turquoise-coi-
ored vase. on which rests strongly
scented shaddock.
This Is the only decoration excepting
the exquisite carpets and rugs which are
spread about the floor. She Is thoroughly
domestic. and treats her women servants
and slaves much as II they were her
EQUALS, interesting herself in the cookery
and often making the sweetmeats, IN
which an Oriental household delights.

Take Care of the SrhooloirIs.

DR.. Baclsus, of the Packer Institute, In
Brooklyn. has zen saying some severely
common sense things to ambitious
parents. In addressing a meeting Of edu-
Gators he very forcibly expressed his
opinion regarding the responsibility
which parents should feel In their physi-
cal car. Of the young student In her
school days. He emphatically disap-
proved of the practice Of keeping her en-
plano stool for hours every day. Put
her to bed ear. and don't waken her in
the morning. he said. "If she is not
being overiaxed she will awaken her
self In time for school, and II she doesn't
let her sleep. Give her good breakfast,
too. before she starts out. Her stomach,
at that time Of life. is a more important
organ than her brain" All Of which II
sound sense ana was so enthusia stically
received by his listeners that 1t is to be
hoped every scholars guardian present
took away the good seed to bear fruit.

The Governor OF Oregon nvalls him

as It is, Is not as powerful in National
affairs as the two Houses OF Congress.

A NEEDED INVESTIGATION.

TIL Police Commissioners should at
once ascertain the facts in the alleged
case OF brutal clubbing by Policeman
Wood, OF the Mercer street squad. yes
terday evening at the corner OF Broad
way and Fourteenth street, and OF the
disgraceful incidents accompanying the
act.
According t. the story, respectfully
dressed man, under the influence OF
liquor attempted to board cable car
at that spot and was ordered off by the
conductor.
The man pleaded to be allowed to re-
main on the car causing some delay,
when the policeman, as alleged, inter
fered and, with profane remark, began
at once to club the offender. In spite or
the protests OF vast number OF persons,
many Of whom volunteered as witnesses,
the man was dubbed into insensibillty,
and then his condition was such AS to
necessitate the calling OF an ambulance.
1t Is not known where the Injured man
was taken, but some newspaper re-
porters who made inquiries at the Mer-
Ger street station are said to have been
refused Information and greeted with
profane abuse by the Captain.
Cases of this kind are happily rare
1t IL not often now that the papers are
called upon to record n case of brutal
and unnecessary clubbing. To the credit
of the force It can be said that consider
ing the many arrests made OF intoxicated
persons, the prisoners are generally
treated without unnecessary roughness.
But. II the story OF Policeman Wood &
conduct is correctly stated he is unfit
to be on the force and should be re-
moved at once. Investigation should
also be made OF the alleged misconduct
of the Captain towards the reporters. a
