THE LIFE-sAVING SERVICE.

The report of Superintendent Kimball,
of the L~ife-Saving Service, shows the
value of this philanthropic institution to
the commercial interests of the public
during the past year. Three hundred and
eighty vessels in distress were aided, on
board of which there were 1854 persons,
of whom 1898 were saved and only 81
lost. Without the aid of the service the
probability is that the greater part of
these lives would have been lost. The
estimated values of the vessels and car
goes involved in these disasters were near
1y $4,000, 600. OF this amount $7,6SS, 600
was saved. Again. it is safe to say, that
without the aid of the service nearly all
of these vessels and their cargoes would
have proved a total loss. In addition to
the number of persons saved from vessels
there were nearly one hundred others
rescued who had fallen from wharves,
piers. ETC., who would have persisted with
out the aid of the life saving crews. The
number of disasters by reason of storms
was greater than in any previous year
since the Introduction of the present
system. The cost of the maintenance of
the service during the year was only a
little over a million and a quarter of dol
lars. The value of this service to the
world since it was first established in a
small way about 1876, is i~ncalculable,
not only in the saving of life, which was
the leading motive urged for its establish
ment, but in the saving of valuable prop
erty; It should be a matter Of pride
among the first, if not the first, to move
in this matter. Monmouth Democrat.

A FOOTBALL CRIPPLE.

WASHINGTON, Dec, "a, 1~S94.-George
D. Bahen, the Georgetown College foot
ball player, who was so badly injured
in a game on Thanksgiving Day
that for a time his life was despaired
of, is in a fair way to recover, but it is
feared he will be a cripple ali his days.
The fifth cervical vertebrae vas frac-
tured and the consequent pressure upon
the spinal cord, produced paralysis be-
low the neck. In spite Of the belief of
his physicians that death must ensue,
Bahen continued to live and his condi-
tionf1nally warranted the surgeons in
performing an operation to remove the
pieces of fractured bone and relieve the
spinal cord.
This was undertaken by DR.. Kerr, who
had previously successfully performed
similar operations, and the patient is
day reported to be improving in every
way. Feeling has been restored to the
body and limbs as far as the knees:
The physicians are greatly encouraged
over the prospects of final recovery.
The case presents some unusual features
and inquiries lave been received concern
ing it from all parts of the country.

NEW THING IN CHRISTMAS TREES

These are great lays of doll dress-mak-
ing over in Brooklyn, where the ladies
are going to Christmas trees and
give dolls to all the children who are
not connected with Sunday Schools or
any other sort of present-making society.
A reception to the ladies Of the different
committees was given by the chairmen
of one of them living on Washington
avenue, and an unofficial comparison
showed that over 10, 900 dolls had actually
been bought and were now being clothed.
They cost on an average Is cents a
piece in a state of canvass and sawdust
nudity, but attired they represent at
least a dollars worth of happiness at
shop prices for 5000 little girls.
An enemy of street bands a man who
was present suggested that each boy
be given a 50-cent drum as the likeliest
way to bring odium upon p~erambulating
musicians but the suggestion was not
followed. This is a very pretty and ORR
ginal charity but then the Brooklyn
ladies are always doing something be-
nevolent in an out of the way fashion.
