HER HERO WAS ON HAND.
a "lrI's Rescue by Her Lover n Strange
Example of Destiny

In real life it is unfortunately rare for
lovers to have the opportunity Of prov
ing their herolsm by rescuing their sweet
hearts from immediate death. although
this sort of thing is the veriest common
place among writers of fiction, saws the
London Ietegrdph. What, however, is
stll more uncommon is that every event
should occur remotely resembling the
very picturesque tale of Miss Jessie
Colder of Kingston and Mr.. Cobb. the
nghtGrman, and it is, therefore, well to
chronicle them when destiny is good
enough to send them in our way. Mr.
COBB, 1t seems, had been keeping com
pany with Miss Colder, young woman
OF Il summers. One day they had quar-
rel, and the gentleman in his wrath
threatened to give her up.'
such remarks are we'll known to reflect
merely passing phase of amorous feel
ing, but, unhappily for herself. Miss
Colder took them quite seriously. In
consequence she suffered so much men
tai anguish that late one evening she
rushed out Of a friends house to the
bank OF the river and threw herself in the
water. 1t happened, by an extraordinary
coincidence, that Cobb and his tug were
near at hand; he was, indeed, sitting in
his cabin, when he heard some one
screaming for help. Without any hesita-
ton he rushed along the bank to the spot.
anu was Jne means OF saving the life of
the drowning girl, when she was going
down for the third time" Not till then
dld ne discover that the woman he had
SO pluckily rescued was his own LADY,
love.
Arraigned at the Police Court for at
tempted suicide, Jessie Colder had the
supreme pleasure OF seeing her rescuer
come forward and express his willing
ness to go through the marriage cere-
mony. And, as it is clearly against pub
nc polcy Tor magistrates to interfere with
contemplated matrimonial arrangements.
the too precipitate but now oyerioved
Miss Colder was dismissed with a caution
and with MIR. Cobb. AS an example
OF tate's eccentricities the tale deserves to
take rank as leading case" The
chances against the lover being at that
part OF the river just at the right mo-
ment for the rescue was simply enor-
nous.
In order to bring about the happy end
ing his tug had to be anchored lust at
that one spot in the whole river; lie him
self had to be in his cabin, instead of on
shore; Miss Colder had to select exactly
the right part of the bank and to scream
just loud enough, and nobody else near
at hand was to hear that scream and
plunge III to the rescue before Mr.. Cobb
arrived. \ ct all these seeming unlikeli-
hoods took place, and now, instead of a
medal for saving of life, Mr.. Cobb has
gained something which he no donbt
values considerably more When des-
tiny makes match in this way who will
dare to step in and forbid the banns?

GOTHAM sTREET-CAR MANNERS
An Incident In Which a Little Woman
Discounted Her Stout sister

An Incident IN Which Little Woman
Discounted Her Stout sister.
The builders of street cars allow for
eleven seats on each side. This was the
allotment when the cars were first intro
duced. Since that time the average area
of the citizen has materially increased in
person; both women and men are larger.
The chance introduction OF young people
and children still permits eleven on a
side, but with a full complement of pas
sengers Nos. p and % must stand. The
increase of glrth on the part of New
Workers in limiting the accommodations
of the car, obliges, frequently, somebody
to yield what was once considered the
right to a seat, says the SIN. Nine ordi-
nary passengers and one fat man or woman
require readjustment of the car, lust as
ten slim women and child will admit
another slim passenger. These are mat
ters that judicial-minded person will
always take into account. The judicial
mind, however, is not always taken
aboard, and odd combinations of paSsen-
gers often throw the entire car into state
of mind in the effort to adjust them by
main strength or strategy.
The other day there was mixed lot of
persons on one side that left space large
enough to be tempting, but not large
enough to accommodate a woman eX-
tended unreasonably beyond her natural
proportions by a thick gown and a long,
full cloak. The woman seated was slim,
with mild face and reserved manner.
The woman standing looked at the space
and seated herself, obscuring the smaller
woman, who was plainly supporting
part of the burden.
If you will allow me l will give You
the place." the crushed woman said. She
rose, when the other nodded triumph
antly to friend
u often get seat that way" enjoying
her success.
The mild-faced woman gave no sign,
then said:
"Will you kindly let me see if 1 left
parcel on the seat?"
The stout woman got up and the little
woman quietly reseated herself. The
stout woman stood, and the passengers
laughed.

SETTLED BY THE COURT
Litigation of Interest to knights and
Ladies' of Honor.

Judge Bartlett of the New York Su-
preme Court has handed down a decision
in the suit OF Maynard against Wander
werker, in which he found for the de-
fendant. In 1889 Ray r. Smallev, a
woman about > years of age, Joined
Mispah Lodge of the knights and Ladies
of Honor, and became insured for s.. 900
in favor OF her aunt, Angelina Wander
werker, with whom she had lived for
many years. About a year afterward
Miss Smalley married George Ii. Nav
nard, Secretary of the Lodge. About a
month after her marriage She signed a
paper certifying that the policy issued
in favor of her aunt was lost. 4 new
policy was issued in favor of her hus-
band. The original policy was never
lost, but was in possession of her aunt.
Miss Smalley died about eight months
after her marriage. The society admitted
owing some one 5000, but asked the
court to have Mr.. Maynard and Mrs.
Nanderwerker litigate it out, the amount
of money being paid into the court In
his decision Judge Bartlett says that the
contention of Mrs. Vanderwerker, re-
garding her rights to the policy because
of paying the assessments, was a correct
one.

cable settlement of the differences be-

of Iron and Steel Workers and the
Pittsburgh manufacturers was affected
at the Joint scale conference here this
afternoon. The settlement was made
by the finishers agreeing to reduction
Of the minimum card price from &c to
11c per pound. This means a ten per
cent reduction in wages at present card
rates, butit prices advance, under this
sliding scalei wages will be increased
accordingly. The duty will not affect
the puddlets or workmen in other de.
partments.
The conference was harmonious and
the workmen anticipate an early re-
sumption of all the mills in the dis
trict. Whilethe manufacturer agreed
to the scale to-day, however, they are
not entirely satisfied, They claim that
with puddlers receiving 81 per ton in
