Harvard student Rescues a child From,
Death BY an Electric Car In Cambridge.
A signal instance Of courage and
quicknoss Of thought. which undoubted-
~ saved the life of a little child, OCCUR
rcd in Cambridge on Friday evening.
Shortly before p. m. a fremont
House electric car was passing along
Main street at a very rapid rate, Near
Windsor street little girl, apparently
about 3 years Of age, ran from tho side.
walk toward the track The motorman
quickly shut of the curront and put ON
the brake. Then the child paused, and
the motorman released the car.
Just as tho chr had regained its mo-
mentum tho child, through some strange
impulse, darted forward to cross the
track The motornan was almost
breathless with horror. There was no
time to stop the car, and the toddling
infant seemed doomed.
Suddenly q tall, athletic young man
sprang from his scat at the end Of the
front row, and grasping the curved ham
die on the dasher Of the car with his
right hand swung himself out on the
fender just rs the car was about to
crush the little girl under It's wheels no
seized her firmly by the waist.
1t was trying moment TO the nerves
Of the passengers and motorman. It
seemed for an instant as if both man
and child would fall in front Of the
fender. But by an almost convulsivo
effort the resouer lifted the little girl
from the track and laid her on her back
at ono side out Of the reach Of the
whools.
So great was the strain upon him that
as soon as the child was released he him
self fell forward on the fender, and
only an unusual degree of agility en-
abled him to scramble up on his knees
and back to his seat in the car.
The whole thing was done In an in
stant. Tho motorman, pale with fright,
was only able to look his thanks.
The hero Of the affair was the most
composed person ON tho car. He at once
sought rear seat to avoid attention,
merely remarking to the motorman as
he passed; "Gadl Why don't you geo
out Of this?''
A passenger said that the young man
was Harvard student who resides ON

A Mothers Wonderful Self Control Saves
the Lilo Of Her Little Girl.
A little child rescued in u drowning
condition from the bottom Of a dcep
well by her mother is the incident that
excited the residents Of Green Lake last
week.
The three children Of John L. San
dell, who lives in a comfortable homo
three-quarters Of a mile east Of the lake,
were playing In the yard week ago
yesterday. All were girls, two Of them
and years old respectively, and the
youngest Bttle tot not quite 3. Near
the house is an Is foot well, with water
IN it two feet deep, the entrance to
which was surrounded by frail picket
fence The children in their play pulled
and tugged at this railing until finally
1t gave way, and before the older girls
could comprehend what had happened
their little sister, going too far, had
fallen into the well and was struggling
on the black surface Of the water l6 feet
below.
The children at once called TO their
mother, who was alone inside the house.
Mrs. Sandell, horrified, ran to the curb,
but could see nothing but the yawning
cavern that held her child She thought
Of o ladder at the barn 100 feet away,
and without losing a seconds time she
brought it to the well, but it was only
12 feet long. She realized that desper-
ate chances had TO be taken, for tho
child had already lain in the water sew
eral seconds, and q few more meant that
its life would be gone. She dropped the
ladder IN an agony Of fear lest the ends
should strike the baby dead. The in
slant it had settled in place she forced
horsolf through the narrow aperture at
tho top, measured momentarily with
her eye tho distance to the ladder
against the wall six feoet underneath
and dropped BY q chance that seemed
miraculous she caught It squarely, and,
balancing herself, instantly descended
10 the bottom Of tho well. There she
found tho child unconscious II had
been in the water at least three minutes
and was almost dead.
Mrs. Eandoll lifted tho helpless in
FAINT and climbed 20 the top Of the lad
der, at the same time calling TO the
children above to run for help. While
they were gone she repeatedly rolled the
babe upon her own body, forcing from
it tho water It had swallowed until she
was gladdened with signs Of returning

The British Medical Association
has been recently investigating the
effect Of liquor drinking upon the
duration Of life, and has aacertained
results which viii surprise not
only the advocates Of total absiin-
ence, but those who are opposed
to prohibition ns well. In order to
arrive at some trustworthy data,
4,234 deaths taken at random we're
investigated. The decedents we're
divided into temperate drinkers,
careless drinkers, free drinkers,
intemperete drinkers and total alb
stainers. For the first class the
average of longevity was found to
be 63 years, careless drinkers lived
on an average only 50 years, free
drinkers 81 years, Incorporate
drinkers SO years and total abstain
!. ers only 81 years. But in case Of
exteme old age the showing is
somewhat more favorable to total
abstinence. OF those who lived to
be more than 80 years Is per cent
were abstainers, against only 8 per
cent for hard drinkers. Here again,
however, the advantages Of moder-
alton stand out conspicuously, for
to this class belonged IS per cent
Of the octogenarians.
This would indicate that, what
ever the deleterious physical effects
may be, moderate drinking in
creases vitality and promotes
longevity. Even when liquor was
used to excess the person addicted
to it still had better chances for
life than the teetotaler. But these
results may not be conclusive.
Most drinkers probably have a
more vigorous constitution than
ahstainers and might live to still
greater age except for the acquired
habit. while abstainers might die
younger if they did not eschew the
flowing bowl. Baltimore Herald.

The Mysterious Case u ANN Nay FYsrpee
oEsurrey County, Ns.
Miss Anna May Barnes Of Clarcmort,
Surrey county, this state. has been in q
most remarkable state of mind for tho
past month, and none has been able to
diagnose her disease. She was first taken
down with anervous prostratioi, caused,
it was thought, by becoming excited as
o religious meeting. She was seized
with violent commissions and many
times was thought to be dying. She has
had as many as 90 spasms in single
night During tho first Of her illness
she was occasionally delirious, and her
actions reminded one Of o person with
delirium tremena She would imagine
she saw her own coffin and would plead
tearfully to be taken away from the
cause of her horror and fright
Before the townspeople had heard Of
the death Of DR. Randall at Oalrford,
Pa, she stated that the old man had
passed away, accurately described the
room in which he died and repeated the
inscription on the plate Of the oaskot.
Since then she has fingered between life
and death and has been pronounced by
her physicians several times unable to

apparently strong in body. Her mind,
however, seems to be completely trans
formed, and her actions saver strongly

THE FUTURE OF ELEcTRlclTY

Possibilities Of Usurplng the Onices of the
Coal Furnace and Gas Stove.
Tho Baltimore Sun has beon inter
viewing some Of the leading authorities
on electricity, with a view Of oliciting
their views as to the future probabilities
and possibilities of the force, especially
with reference TO its economic and prac-
tical adaptation. Among the many in
teresting and valuable opinions, the fol-
lowing condensed predictions are given:
Tho editor OF Tho Electrical World
says: ''Dynamos and motors now return

whereas the inoandescent admits Of large

ably entirely supersede steam. The cleo
trio light will supersede all other kinds
Of illumination in cities and large
towns. Tolephoning across the Atlantic
is an early probability and seeing by
electricity possibility.
The editor Of The Electrical Review
says: Electric heating is now an inn
portant element in replacing the dis
agreeable and dangerous car stove and
is advancing into the domain of the
coal furnace and gas stove, bringing
cleanliness. convenience, economy. Ev-
cry housewife will rise up and call him
blessed, and every husband will bless
him and not rise up -
The editor of Electric Power joins all
of these and goes even further. 'In
1900 we shall probably have brought
down the cost OF current and utensils in
suoh a degree as to allew even people
in moderate circumstances to use the
cleanly current instead Of the coal and
gas conduit system. The disinfection Of
cities will probably be effected by the
agency Of electricity. Canalboats will
be propelled by electricity.

The event which has been
awaited with most concern and
foreboding in Europe for many
weeks pnst has finally occurred.
The Gar Alexander is dead, and
the Car Nicholas is on the
throne. The new czar has not as
yet given any pronounced and un-
mistakable indication Of the policy
that he will pursue. Nevertheless
his conduct during the weeks of
his fathers illness and his first
proclamation upon his own ascen-
sion to the czarship, coupled with
the reports from all sources as to
his disposition and his alleged In
clination toward the liberal and
progressive thought of western
Europe rather than the conserva-
tive and even reactionary views Of
bis father, have done much 70 allay
the fear that oil Europe felt, and
with good reason, when first it
was known that the will of Alex
ander was no longer to stand as
the bulwark of peace.
Then, too, the character Of
Princess Alices her firmness IN
successfully resisting the pressure
of the Russian ecclesiastics who
insisted on her anathematizing her
former religion before being re-
ceived into the Greek church, and
her German and English family
connections, are looked upon as
additional guarantees that Ger
man and English rather than
French Influences will prevail ia
the councils Of the new car. Still
it is felt that only the lapse Of
time and the gradual unfolding Of
the czar's character aud policy
can give any reliable basis of
judgment as to the future relations
Of Russia with the rest of the
world.
The press Of Europe and Amer
ica is by no means unanimous in
its verdict upon the late Gar and
his official record. To some, indeed
apparently to most observers, he
was merely a man of strong will
but Of limited intellectual equip
ment as we'll as limited opportu-
nifty for reforming the eyils Of his
yealm, and therefore he IS accorded
the praise ,lue tho man who does
on the whole about the best he can
while to other observers he was a

half no possible excuse or
extenuation can be offered for his
failure 70 undertake the political
reforms contemplated by his father

In France the opinion has been

it has already proved the young
