way out of the difficulty. and suggested

"Get me out quick; don't let me die
here" Upon that Smith went to an
engine house and got ladder and some
rope. Then he and another man ar
ranged pulley and dropped rope to
the prisoner, and the latter, after two
Intellectual attempts, was taken from the
pillar in safety.
When he reached the sidewalk an
ambulance surgeon from Bellevue hos

anese papers received at that place
afforded negative evidence that the
report circulated three weeks ago of

PHILADELPHIA Record.
Some of the difficulties of pursuing
art under disadvantageous circum-

Frank w. Stokes. who undertook to

brush and then shaking himself vigor-
Ously to save himself from being frozen.
He declared the moonlight was the most
gorgeous he had ever seen, being so
brilliant that he could easily distinguish
his colOrs, even though they were on
the conventional dark palette.
