WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1898
A sniIor,s Brave Deed.

On the evening of Sept. 8 the sailing
cutter of the Swallow, while cruising off
the south end Of the Zanzibar islands,
anchored off Uzi island, when half the
men landed, leaving Mr.. MCDermott,
John Sadler, H. Payne, Charles Lawford
and w. Rumble, seamen, in the boat.
LawfOrd and Payne jumped overheard
and were bathing, when large shark
was seen making toward LawfOrd. The
shark was only four or five feet off,
when, without any hesitation and with
out waiting to divest himself of any of
his clothes, McDermOtt plunged into the
sea right ON top of the shark, and with
the splash he made frightened it away
for short time, while the men were
quickly drawn into the boat.
McDermott suffered nothing from his
immersion, but if it had not been for his
prompt action Lawford must have lost
his life. This extraordinary act of hero
ism, the particulars of which have just
been forwarded to the Royal Humane
society by the lords commissioners of the
admiralty, has been investigated by the
committee of the former body, which
has unanimously conferred its silver
medal upon Thomas McDermott, who is
the chief boatswain of her majesty's
ship Swallow, for saving Lawford. The
story has of course been confirmed by
several witnesses in all particulars after
due investigation by Rear Admiral Bed
ford, C. A., and Commander Finnis, Sc
nior officer of the Zanzibar DIVISION

The Laborer Is Worthy of His Hire.

The action of the jewelers. league of
this city il adopting under protest a
motion made by its secretary to reduce
his salary is likely to attract considera-
bic attention in commercial circles. 1t
was peculiar situation. The secretary.
who Is well to do, wanted to turn over
to the organization several hundred dol
lars Of his pay, as he didn't need it.
There was an instant protest from gen
eroUs member, who said that it would
be setting up bad precedent to consent
tothe secretary proposition. The mem-
Der believed that the work done by the
secretary was worth all he got, and he
suggested that his successor in office
might not be 50 well able to do without
the full amount Of the salary, which is
drawn from the membership fees.
There was sound sense in this protest.
1t is grounded on the fair and manly no
ton that the good laborer in any field of
work is well worthy his hire Expert
encc proves that he gets best service who
pays his servant literally. The Jewel
ers' league believes in this policy.-New

Revival of English In the Colleges.

From the new Yale catalogue it APP
pears that the authorities there have
awakened to the need Of greater atten-
ton to the study of English. Beginning
with 1894 the entrance examinations are
to include papers upon certain pieces of
English literature, selected as well for
their probable attractiveness to the
preparatory student as for their in trinsic
Importance" The questions are to be
constructed with the special view of test
ing the candidates familiarity with the
subject matter, but weight is to be given
to the literary forms of the papers of
fered by the applicants. Already in.
struction in English has been extended
to the freshman class. This is a field
that has been too long neglected.. and
those who have had anything TO do with
the English Of students know with what
sad results.-Boston Journal.

Stanford Uniyersity's Horn.

Next month when the Palo Altos play
off their tie with the Berkeley students
in match game of football there will
be trouble in store for the quiet citizens
of this burg.
They will be awakened by noises more
unearthly and more uncanny than any
they ever heard before.
A local firm has contract ON hand to
construct a monster horn, not an ordi-
nary horn blown by mortal beings and
making the midnight hours hideous,
but a horn worked by steam blower,
made of galvanized iron, 50 feet long
and 10 feet in diameter.
The Stanford boys are going to have
this monster horn, and they are now
preparing a petition to the governor to
have the militia detailed to protect it
from the wiles and Vaccinations Of the
BerkleyiteS.
The coming noisemaker will have two
valves. a 32-hOrsepOwer boiler and will
cost $500 when built.
There are 200 enthusiastic students
pledged to devote 50 80 each toward the
building fund required to construct that
giant horn, and when it is completed it
will be hauled on one Of the big trucks
which transport large coils of cable for
street railways to the playing park

that the japanese do not come to make this
