Washington, July 29.-Ex-Consress-
man Snow, OF Illinois, candidate for
serseant-at-arms of the house, will
open headquarters at the METROPOLITAN
tomorrow. 1oder, the present ser
Se;lnt-at-arms, is making an uphill
fight for reelection. He is heavily
handicapped, and it looks as if he
might as well be counted out of the
race.
Ihere are seven officials connected
WIN the sergeant-at-arms' office. and
three of them are Yoder's relatives
The incumbent appointed his brother
cashier and his son page Democrats
say this is too much nepotism When
1oder was elected by the last house
he rendered the best place in his gift
to a republican cousin, also named
Ioder. This cousin held a position in
the land office, and since the advent OF
the present administration has beer
, dismissed for offensive partisanslip.
The fight is between Snow and San
johnson, of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
For doorkeeper the candidates are
Turner of New York, Smith of Texas
and Hart Of Tennessee Smith is like
ly to be an easy winner unless the race
should be complicated by the entry OF
some dark horse. Opponents of Tur
ner are arriving ON every train. He
is charged with having broken numer
Gus pledges during his last administra
ton.
Some Of the Tammany congressman
i are against Turner. Amos Cumming:
| has openly declared that he would no
support him and Turner is decryins
Amos by saying that he will have t.
eat crow and obey the bchest Of Bos:

Other Illinois democrats will arrive by

at arms length until she ceases to
struggle, when she can be towed
ashore either by the hair or by tile
portion of the back part OF her upper
bathing dress. In the case of man
the process is similar onl' lie should
be grasped by the back of the collar
of his bathing dress. Ii the person is
unconscious one can grasp the person
anywhere with IMMUNITY. 1t it i'm
portant in this case to get the victim
ashore as soon as possible.
Inc proper method to reSuScitate
drowning man is so simple that every
one should know it. 1t is first nece>-
sary to get the water from the body
To do this place the body downward.
With the hands under the stomach
raise the person from the ground with
his body elevated and his head and
feet hanging down. Repeat the opera
ton several times. Then roll the body
with the head lower than the rest of
it.
After as much as possible of the
water has been gotten out turn the per-
son upon his back and place a small
roll of clothing under him at the
lower portion of the shoulder-blades.
Have some one pull the MANS tongue
forward with d piece Of cloth and
hold it forward free from the windpipe,
while the operation of reSuScitatiOn is
going on. Kneel astride the body and
grasp the PERSONS forearms. Bring
the arms to the side so that the fore
arms rest across the upper abdomen.
Raise them over and above the head
until they rest upon the ground above
the head. Allow them to rest there
a moment and then bring them back to
their original position at the sides
with the fOrearms resting across til,
upper abdomen. Press heavily will
the forearms upon the upper abdomen
and the sides of the body. Then re
turn the arms to their position above
the head. Do this regularly about
| sixteen times minute, and keep il
up for at least half an hour.
LAS soon as the natural breathing
begins it may be stopped. If there
are any signs of life the operation
should be kept up while the signs CON
tinue, though it be for hours. An as
sistant should, during the continuance
of this operation, be gently rubbing
the persons body from the legs up
ward. When active life movement
begins administer brandy and Other
stimulants and remove the victim i'm
mediately to dry, warm place and put
him to bed. In few hours he vii

LIFE SAVING RULES.

! The season is at hand when the
| water claims more victims than either
the sun, the horse car, the truck or the
! CHASTITY scaffold. Hardly a day passes
| that drowning accident is not record
! ed i'll the newspapers. Among the vic
| tins frequently are expert swimmers
( who lose their lives in trying to save
! drowning person. Few expert
swimmers, it may be added, know the
proper and only safe way to rescue
such an unfortunate.
To a New York Press reporter, Pro
fessor johnson, the professional swim
mer and life saver who has been IT
peatedly honored with medals by the
Royal Humane society of England,
gave recently an interview as to how
this should be done.
The great danger in saving a drown.
ing person is the tendency of the
victim to grapple with you, So that
you are powerless to swim, and are
thus dragged down. said he This
can be avoided by the exercise of
GOODNESS and carefulness in approach
in drowning man. 4 woman is
often worse than a man because she
I loses her head So easily. There need
be little fear about a child. An expert
swimmer should be able to swim with
a child grasping him. no matter how
If the little one should grasp the
rescuer so as to impede his swimming
the child's hold can be readily loosen,
ed, and be made to catch hold in a way
that will allow the reScuer to swim
freely. The best way is to let the
child put its arms about your neck,
or put its hands upon your shoulder
In the case of man or woman
who is cool enough to be talked with
and will obey you will have little
trouble. Direct them to put their
hand ON your shoulder, as in the case
of child, and to be perfectly quiet.
1t is easy to keep them af1oat in this
position until a boat can reach you
or to swim ashore with them, though
it be fquite a distance. The utmost
skill is required where the victim
has lost his head. Approach the
person from behind and wait until
he or she is exhausted, but keep
close enough to prevent the person
from going under. A woman should
be grasped by her back hair and KEEP,

The Professional Woman's League to
Be Extended

1t is probable that the Professional
Womans league, which was recently
organized in New York will be made
Ia national association. It is the only
club of it's kind in existence and
branches are to be established in all
the large western cities. The object
of the league is to benefit and serve
professional women who are rendered
by force Of circumstances temporarily
unable to help themselves. The active
membership is confined strictly to wo-
men who are engaged in dramatic,
musical and literary circles. Women
not working in these lines but who
are in sympathy with the movement
land DESTROYS of advancing it's interests
are eligible for associate membership
at the discretion of the governing
board. Prominent among the mem
bers are Miss Rosina Vokes, Miss Rosa
Coghlan, Miss Lolita Crabtree, Mrs.
Robert Mantell, Miss Margaret ST..

Coloocoresses had been seen. Upon
opening box of special deposit which
the dead man kept in the vault of the
First National bank, at Litchfield,
Conn, there were found documents
that at first sight proved him a
wealthy man.
Airong them were several lists of
securities, il: value amounting to $780,
600. Subsequently it became known
that he had none of these, and they
could not be found anywhere. The

The insurance companies declined to
pay on the ground that an attempt

suits were brought. After considerable
preliminary skirmishing a settlement
was agreed upon and the matter was
dropped.

Cash-Cash,s Reformation.

Old Cash-C Cash, the well known Uma- tilla Indian, is becoming greatly inter- ested in what will become of his soul when he dies. Of late Cash Cash has been regular attendant at divine wor- ship, and being possessed of more intelli- gence than the general run of Indians has listened very intently to the teach ings that are expounded by the minis ters. He is now endeavoring to lead a better life by paying his debts and by refusing to gamble or drink frewater. Several weeks ago T. D. Page placed a bill against Cash-Cash in bank at Pen- dleton for collection.
 Cash-Cash was notified, and he prompt ly responded and settled. After paying the money he demanded piece of paper or receipt to show that the claim had been fully satisfied. He was informed that receipt was not necessary, as the books in the bank would show that it had been settled. Cash Cash persisted, when the receipt was made out. When the paper was handed him, Cash-C Cash was satisfied, and when he started to leave tEe bank he said in broken Eng fish:
 "Me heap good Injun. Me want go heaven. When me die and cid Pete meet me at gate and ask me been good InJun, me say yes. He will ask me if pay Tom Page and me have no paper from you, he send me hell. ."-Walla Walla Union Journal.

A Boston Poet.

Hezekiah Butterworth's productions, both prose and poetry, have been given to the public through Boston house, and the sale of several of his books has been phenomenal. His poetry is remark able for wide range of style and versatil- ity of expression. Years ago he wrote regarding Lincoln's remark, "When my cares of state are over wish to go to Palestine" the following pathetic lines: April morning, flags are blowing, 'thwart each
 flag sable bar.
 Dead, the leader of the people; dead, the worlds great commoner. Bells the Potomac tolling; tolling by the Polling from the broad Atlantic to the Ocean
 of the Sun.
 Friend and foe clasp hands in silence,
 Listen to the low prayers said,
 Hear the-peoples benedictions,
 Hear the nations praise the dead.
 Lovely land of Palestinai He thy shores will
 never see;
 But, his dreams fulfilled, he follows
 Him who walked in Galilee.
 The ending of another poem, "The Clocks of Wentworth" which has been well received, is as follows: On her crownless brow fell white her hair; Ana she Dur1eQ her lace In her cushions there, "One nlomentl" 1t echoed through the hall, But the clock stopped not on the erased wall.
 There is palace whose dial towers
 Uplift no record of vanishing hours,
 Disease comes nob4o its doors, nor falls
 Deaths dusty step In its golden halls.
 And more than crowns, or castles old,
 Or red cross banners, or spurs of gold,
 That palace key it is to hold,

The Giving of Names.

The death of Benjamin Franklin But Ter and the spelling of his name in full by all the newspapers calls attention to a peculiar phase of nomenclature. In the good old Puritan days, and even later, children received Scriptural names, such as Telem, Jonathan, Josiah, Cephas, Jeremiah and so on.
 Then came the change to the era of what may be called hero worship. But Ter was dubbed Benjamin FraNkljn, and one prosperous merchant iii Chicago started life loaded down by his moral parents with the appellatives Grant Lincoln Beecher." It is not necessary to mention his birth name, but it is sufi- cient to say that he has discarded the first and last cognomens, and check signed Lincoln - is good for quarter of Q million sny banking day in the year.

shall I dig for itY' "In the rich Bible grounds" We boys brought up in the country had to dig for bait before we started for the banks of the Raritan. We put the sharp edge of the spade against the ground and then put our foot on the spade, and with one tremen- dous plunge of our strength of body and will we drove it in up to the handle and then turned over the sod
 We had never read Walton's "Com- plete Angler" or Charles Cotton's "In- s ructions How to Angle For Crawling In Clear Stream" We knew nothing about the modern red hackle or the fly of orange colored mohair, but we got the right kind of bait. No use trying to an- gle for fish or angle for souls unless you have the right kind of bait, and there is plenty of it in the promises, the para bles, the miracles, the crucifxion, the heaven of the grand old gospel.
 Yes, not only must you dig for bait, but use only fresh bait. You cannot do anything down at the pond with old angleworms. New views of truth. New views of God. New views of the soul. There are all the good books to help you dig. But make up your mind as to whether you will take the hint of Habukkuk and Isaiah and Job and use hook and line, or take the hint of Mat thew and Luke and Christ and fish with net.
 I think many lose their time by want ing to fish with net, and they never get place to swing the net. In other words, they want to do gospel work on big scale or they will not do it at all. see feeble minded Christian men going around with Bagster's Bible under their arm, hoping to do the work of an evangelist and use the net, while they might be better content with hook and line and take one soul at time. They are bsd failures as svsngslists. Ths1
