A MARBLE CASCADE.

Permanent Park Attraction.

A Feature of the MIdwinter Fair Will BE
Permanent Park Attraction.
The greatest of the permanent attrac-
tions of Golden Gate park will soon be
ready for the public. This is no less than
the marble cascade on the eastern slope
of fStrawberry hill. The finishing touches
are now being put on that work of art,
and when the pumping machinery is
ready to furnish the water for it the cas-
cade will begin to pour its waters down
the sheer side of the hill to form one of
the most ostmagniicent artificial waterfalls
in the world.
The falls will have two descents of so
feet each. The first fall will empty its
foamy waters into basin half way up
the hillside. and the waters will take an
other plunge and fall into similar basin
at the base of the cliff. From the latter
pool they will flow under footwalk
into the lake. When it is stated that
Vernal falls, in Yosemite valley. are
only $50 feet. or a little over thrice the
height of the marble cascades, and pro-
portionately contain no larger volume of
water at their normal state than it will,
the force in comparison will be under
stood. The cascades will lack some
thing in the grandeur of surroundings
that other falls possess, but this will be
compensated for in some landscape crea-
tions on their borders that will. when
their verdure shall have had time for de-
velopment, make of them south Pacific
island dream.-San Francisco Report.

. Lad In kits Lost His Life While Trying
TO Save His Teacher.
The little district schoolhouse at Coon
erville. Livingston county, was burned
down Monday. The teacher, Miss Mabel
Porter, aged 90, and little hero scholar
lost their lives. Two hours after school
opened Miss Porter detected the smell of
smoke. She opened door leading into
woodshed to discover if anything was
on fire. As she did so the flames burst
teacher. Miss Porter screamed and fell
forward into the fire.
Immediately the schoolroom was in an
uproar. There were % scholars, most
of whom are small children. Two
brothers Melvin and Charles Cham
bers, aged IA and 16 years displayed re-
markable presence of mind To their
hard work at the risk of their own lives
is given the credit of saving most of the
imperiled pupils. There was but one
door-that opening into the burning
shelby which entrance to the school
house was afforded. The brothers, see
ing escape cut off in that direction, tore
q seat loose from the floor, placed it un-
der window, smashed the glass and
managed to lift the children through.
Three girls tainted, and it was with diff
ficulty that they were dragged through
the little window to place of safety.
Four-year-old John johnson, son of a
farmer residing near by, was burned to
death. He was the teachers pet. When
he saw her fall forward into the fire. he
ran to her side in vain and futile effort
to protect her from harm. So he died like
hero. When the ruins of the school
house were searched, the charred bodies
of the teacher and the noble little fellow
were found side by side.
The Chambers boys were both severely
burned about the face and arms. The
younger inhaled so much hot air that it
is feared serious injury may result

WILLING TO HOLD THE BABY.
nIr. Gilbert Obliged n smiling Young Won

MIR. Gilbert Obliged n Smiling Young Wom-
an, Who Mt Once Left thS Train.
Abraham Gilbert is a worthy citizen
of the neighboring village of Branch
vile. He is married and the father of a
small family. On Thursday, while re-
turning in the train from Danbury, he
noticed among his fellow passengers a
young and rather attractive woman, APP
parently widow, who held in her arms
handsomely dressed infant about 5
months old.
AS the train slowed mp for the stop at
Bethel the woman asked Mr.. Gilbert IL
he would be so kind as to hold her baby
while she spoke to friend who was to
be at the station. Mr.. Gilbert jumped
at the chance, for he is very fond OF
pretty babies, and while the train waited
he dandled the youngster ON his knee,
called it little tootsy wootsy and sad
ly disarranged its fine apparel.
The train started. and Mr.. Gilbert pre-
pared to surrender his charge, but the
mother did not appear. Mr.. Gilbert was.
certain that she had missed the train by
accident and that she was at that min
ute fretting herself almost to death about
the child. but the older and more expert
enced travellers smiled grimly and con-
cluded that Mr.. Gilbert was the victim
of an old trick. When the train reached
Branchville, Mr.. Gilbert tried to get the
train hands to assume the custody of the
child, but they asserted that there was
nothing in the rules and regulations Of
the road that compelled them to do 80,
and nothing remained for Mr.. Gilbert
but to take the baby home and place it
among his 1vn. He did so, and the lit
tie stranger is in excellent hands.
The child is a boy. The woman was
handsomely dressed and wore a veil
which almost completely hid her fea-
lures. No effort has been made to find
her.-Norwalk Conn Dispatch.

UNfED IN DEATH.

Two Foolish Young Allegheny Girls Take
the Potson Route 90 the beyond.
.sI have kept my promise to the dead. .
With this exclamation Jennie McDon-
aid, the 15-year-old daughter of James
Mcdonald of Allegheny, fell unconscious
into the doorway of her fathers house.
DR.. Grifhths was hastily summoned. BE
saw the girl was suffering from poison
GUS drug and administered an antidote.
1t had no effect, however. and she died
in less than 80 minutes.
Miss Mcdonald was the school echnmp
of Mamie Nipple, the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of DR.. Nipple, who committed sui
eide on Tuesday by taking dose of acid
because her mother scolded her for play
ing truant. Instead of beingat school
the two girls attended the performance
at n museum.
While on her deathbed Mamie ex-
pressed desire to see Jennie alone. The
girls had an interview. Jennie refused
TO tell her parents what it was about.
They did not press her. When the funeral
of Mamie took place, among the mourn-
ers were the Mcdonald family. Upon
their arrival home Mr.. Mcdonald tried
to learn the secret between his daughter
ana the dead girl. She refused to di-
vulge it, saving she would die before Civ
ing it up. Her father did not press the
point.
After supper Jennie said she would
retire early and went to her room. In
stead of going tO bed she got out the bot
tie that had contained the poison Mamie
Nipple used to kill herself. and which she
had secreted, and stole out of the house.
Going to drug store, she had the vial
retilled. On har way home she drank a
quantity of the stuff. AS she reached
the door of her fathers house she sank
unconscious on the step. Her father is
sure the secret the girl had was a solemn
promise made to her 'chum" TO follow
her in death.-Pittsburg Correspondence.

IHE oYsIER,s eNEMY.

the Bivalves This season.

the Borer Pest Has Played Havoc with
the BiyaIycs This Season.
The .sborer,, pest about the size of q
Elnall strawberry, sworking great havoc
tmong the oyster beds in Delaware bay
and tributary streans Captain Moses
ale of the oyster schooner White Lily
siys that the destructive powers of the
oorer have been known to oystermen
only few years. He had followed oys-
;er digging nearly 30 years, and the first
oorer he saw was about 10 years ago, but
sheir ravages in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticed until last year.
Captain Yeale said that ..last year the
number of dead oysters with holes made
oy borers in the shell became so great
that oystermen were alarmed. This
rear the work of the borers has become
grave matter. and if it continues many
bays will become depopulated of oysters.
from one bed we dredged on this tripwe
got 1900 baskets of oysters, but ont of
:hese only 200 were good, the dead oys-
1ers having been killed by borers. A
peculiar thing about the ravages of the
5orers Is their apparent selection OF the
best oyster beds. We have found this
% be true several times this season. We
laye found bed of small oysters almost
entirely free from borers. This bed will
be separated from another bed of larger
oysters by 800 feet, but this latter will
be so badly affected by the creatures that
t will hardly pay to work it,
From what / can learn from OYSTER
men the destruction wrought by borers
more severe in Delaware bay than In
other places.
"The work of the borer this year
makes double misfortune, for the oys-
Ter beds were badly damaged by the big
storm in August and September. Very
few people who are not in the oyster
dredging business know anything of the
methods of the borer. When first took
notice of its work, secured several oys-
ters Just after the borer had fastened it
self 10 the shell. When the borer fas-
tens itself, it holds on like leech, and it
is with difficulty that it can be removed
with the fingers.
Sometimes the borer fastens itself to
The oyster shell near the edge, and then
the oyster is not killed. When the hole
Of the borer is made near the center of
the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vital
parts and dies in three or four days after
the hole is first made"
Some of the bed owners near Maurice
river have lost large sums of money this
year on account of the borer. Thomas
Munsey, who has number of large beds,
it is sail, will lose $40, 900. Several other
men have lost nearly as much through
this unlocked for calamity, and num-
Der of men have lost in the neighborhood
Of 81 GOO or S3. 900. All oystermen saw
there can be no way of taking away the
borer without destroying the oyster beds.

WHO DIED FIRST,
a Question of Importance to the Heirs Of
Two YictIms of Hattie Creek,a DIsnster.

A Question OF Importance to the Heirs Of
Two Victims of Hattie Creeks Disaster.
Among the persons killed in the fright
eul disaster at Battle Creek, Mich, a
few weeks ago were Mr. and Mrs. Charles
g. SAKE. So far as the evidence showed
both died instantly and simultaneously.
Nevertheless the question as to whether
the man or the woman died first is one of
considerable importance to the heirs of
both. and an inquiry is already afoot to
discover if possible whether there was
any calculable difference of time be-
tween their deaths.
If it could be demonstrated, for in
stance, that the man was the first to die,
his property would pass to the heirs of
his wife, whereas if it were shown on
the other hand that the wife died first
her estate would fall to the heirs of her
husband. Considerable property is in
golyed in this question. and the case is
one of peculiar interest.
In cases involving somewhat the same
question of fact the law has held that the
woman. being supposedly the weaker
person, would naturally be the first to
expire. In the present. instance, how
aver, where the death of the persons ap-
peared to have been simultaneous, the
courts. if it il brought before them, will
encounter problem of peculiarly vex-
atious character.-New York Herald.

Europe.s Naval Scare.

The naval scare-nayal panic it is now
salled-does not abate in England. The
Times and other Tory newspapers thun-
der daily their warnings that the British
supremacy of the seas is in imminent
danger. 1t is rather popular cry, and
the Liberal party is offsetting it by equal
ly vehement declarations that the navy
shall he maintained on basis distinctly
superior to the combined fleets of Russia
and France. There is little doubt that
the government will provide for big
naval expenditure in the next budget,
including tho provision for several most
powerful new vessels. The budget, by
the way. will call for sharp increase in
taxation. which is another reason for a
tempting appeal to the country before
the burden is felt.-New York Suns

many ways which had been tried in
times past to raise money decided upon
new plan.
They decided to let the young men of
the town who felt like doing something
in the interest of the church bold their
hands for certain length of time for a
given sum-50 cents for holding a girls
