serve three years in the penitentiary.

What It Means TO Be a Surfm an-Hard-
ship and Injury His Chief Reward.
From the Woonsocket CR. u Reporter.
One midwinter night. in a binding
snow storm. Capt Arthur L. Nickerson, in
command of the gallant little schooner
Allen Green. ran out from Vineyard sound
before the northeast gale and made for the
open sea. The storm was at its hight
when the wind shifted so suddenly that
before the skipper realized his situation
his ears caught the sound Of the breakers
booming on Point Judith's treacherous
shore.
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struck. Capt Herbert NJ. Knowles crew
of hardy life savers had begun the work
of rescue. Capt Nickerson, when brought
ashore was in a pitiable condition. As
he later stated in his official report of the
disaster (see government report made
to Supt. Kimball of the life saving SER
vice, Il suffered much from cramps and
pains caused by the bruises 1 received be-
fore 1 went ashore, having been at the
wheel fifteen hours continuously. "
The life savers wrapped the brave young
sailor in warm blankets and gave him
Pain Killer freely. The famous old rem
edy accomplished an immediate relief,
and Capt. NickersOn slept as peacefully
as a child that night and awoke next
morning in a condition to face another
tempest, if necessary. He feels that the
prompt use of Pain Killer after his fear
full experience rescued him from unut-
terable suffering and even saved his life.
Brave Capt. Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district.
He says the life savers all use Pain Killer,
and considers it the best and most rella-

They readily consented. and for fifteen

its fresh air excursions last summer,

of Savannah's poor. is making elaborate
arrangements for giving large number
of poor people a pleasant Christmas din
ner.
This band holds meeting every Monday
afternoon to dicuss the ways and means
for doing good among that class of
people who know little of nothing of the
luxuries of life, and it's mission is one
for which many of Savannahs poor have
to be thankful The merchants of Sa-
vannah have responded literally to the
appeals of the ladies who compose this
band, and they have on hand a large
number of chickens, turkeys, hams, or
anges, and in fact, everything that goes
to make up a good Christmas dinner.
These articles they have decided to
dispense next Monday afternoon, it hav-
ing been decided that it is best to give
them to those on the list and let them
take them home to cook their Christmas
dinner after their own fashion. The
circle has about forty families of Sa-
vannahs poor on it's list and each one of
them win be given enough next Monday
afternoon for three or four good square
Christmas meals without money and
without price. This circle has done much
good among the poor this winter by dis
pensing fuel to those who were in great
need of it, and many who are in distress
now look to it's members for aid When
ever their case is a worthy one they
are never turned away.

worth of contributions each.
The committee will now begin the work

in this as in other lines of work it will
have nothing to complain of

TO DISCUSS SEWERAGE.
Capt. Purse to Give the City Council
Talk.


Capt. D. G. Purse has prepared a
lengthy report upon the subject of sewer
age in general and the Bibo canal in
particular, which he will present to coun-
ell at a special meeting Of that body to be
called for the purpose tomorrow after
noon.
Capt. Purse has made a most exhaus-
tive investigation of the subject. He has
had analyses made Of sewerage water
taken from the Bilbo canal at all hours
of the day and night and at different
periods Of the year. He has also had
maps drawn, showing the situation of
the city as relates to drainage and the
value of the different avenues of escape
for the sewage water He has also OBJ
tanned the opinions of the highest authori-
ties upon this subject in Europe and this
country, which completely contradict some
established opinions on the subject Capt.
Purse was to have read his address to
council at the special meeting to have been
held last night.
There was a meeting of the committee
of the whole OF council for the purpose of
considering the budget for next year and
Capt Purse was informed by Mayor Nc
Donough that If there should be a quorum
present he would call meeting of council
for the purpose or listening TO the ad-
dress. There was no quorum, however
and so Capt. Purse did not make his adj
dress. As council is now making up the
budget appropriations for next year, he is
naturally anxious that it should be i'm
pressed with the Importance of taking
some steps to close Bilbo canal.
1t will be remembered that a very nu-
merously signed petition was presented
to council several months ago, requesting
the closing of Bilbo canal. The petition
was referred to the committee of the
whole, but action was delayed to await
the report which Capt. Purse was en-
gagged in preparing.
