Mr.. BLAGDEN'S RESIGNATION.
Admits II Was Requested, but Says
All Relations Are FriendIy.

Announcement Is just made of the
resignation of Samuel p. Blagden, who
has been manager of the American
branch of the North British and Mer-
camille Insurance Company since 1856.
1t is generally reported In insurance cir
cles that Mr.. Blagden's resignation was
requested.
In connection with Mr.. Blagden's res
ignation it is reported that the North
British and Mercantile Insura We Com
pany has given up the idea of erecting
lts contemplated new building at the
southwest corner of Exchange place
William street, for which, 1t Is said,
the plans had been drawn.
Both these developments followed
close upon the arrival In this country OF
george w. Burnett, of the
London office of the Company.
Mr.. Blagden's resignation was not
altogether a surprise. as 1t has been
time that the home office was not salts
fled with Its American business. and It
has been repeatedly asserted that a
change In the local management was
impending.
The New York City business of the
Company has fallen off greatly In the
last few years. Manager Burnett. who
Is stopping at the Windsor Hotel, re-
pany or the resignation of Mr.. Blagden.
Mr.. Blagden admits hat his resigna-
ton was asked for. He says. however,
that there Is the most friendly feeling
between the officers and himself and
that the decrease in business caused
the desire for a change in the manage
ment.
Mr.. Blagden succeeded his father-in-
law, Ezra White, a famous underwater

ngement OF the Company in 1855. He re-
tired In 1866, when Mr.. Blagden and his
co-managers. Later Mr.. White re-
signed.

SAVED ANOTHER LIFE.
This Makes - Persons Wilson Has
Rescued from Drowning.

j.. c. Wilson rescued another man
from drowning last night. This makes
the total number OF persons he has
saved from drowning twenty-five inc
the number of attempts at rescue he has
made twenty-three. The last man be-
fore this one was drowned. but the
heroic Wilson found his body a few
da Us later and dragged 1t ashore.
Wilson liz the engineer for the Morgan
line at pier %, North River. and 1t Is
there his marvellous record as a life
saver has been made. Last night a
gang OF men hauled n lighter from the
steamship, .Wyanoke at the Old Domin-
ion pier. No. rs. One of the men, who
was returning from the latter, pier,
walked along the shore, and in a moment
1t was dark and nc one could see the
man who was struggling in the water.
The other 'longshOremen hooted and
laughed at Wilson'S efforts az he sprang
dc n q ladder from the shore and swan
out towards the spot where the cries and
splashes OF the drowning la were
heard. When the fellow was pulled
back to the foot of Wilson's ladder he
ran up and disappeared without leaving
his name or even stopping to thank his
rescuer.
Wilson used to use a raft. which was
kept moored under the pier. in saving
life. This had to be done away with
and he arranged a ladder with a hook on
the end which he fastens to the stringeI
along the shore when he descends.

Black dresses are fashionable, so much
80 1t is not always easy TO distinguish
whether they mean mourning or not.
this reason modistes are adding a
touch of color. A dead-black wool
trimmed with crepe is less expensive by
far than the all-crepe dresses, which
very few wear in this country. Silks
are not worn except for so-called light
mourning. Black gros grains promise to
be generally worn this Spring. The new

The body of yung George Pottacius.
who, with his uncle. Philip Siebert. was
drowned last Sunday while fishing in ia
maica Bay, near Canarsee, has not yet
been recovered.
The published report that the Flat
heads policestated that siebert and Pot
tacius had been arrested last June, while
drunk, for fighting over a woman, Is IN
~dignantly denied BY the relatives Of the
drowned men. They say that the two
were like two brothers and inseparable.
They were never known to drink to ex-
cess or exchange eve an angry word.
Siebert's employers, Rist h Campbell,
marble cutters, at 1855 Cherry street. will
probably see that Siebert Is properly
buried. He worked for the firm many
years and was well thought Of by them.
Pottacius's correct address Is 2l7

WHERE Is BAcON's BIRTHDAY.

Shakespeare's birthday was celebrated
yesterday at Stratford = on = Avon.
Wreaths were placed on the dramatist's
tomb. and many pretty and enthusiastic
things were said about him which. OF
course, he didn't hear. The cable
dispatches makes no mention OF any
friends Of Sir Francis Bacon participant
ing in the j%ubilation. and no suggestion
was offered to exhume the remains and
ascertain whether Shakespeare was
really resting there or whether Lord
Bacon had been Inferred In his stead.
1t must have made the Baconians feel
quite mean to see tributes going to the
divine williams tomb which in reality
belonged to the other man. II Sir Fran
els sat up late Of nights writing Shakes
peare's plays, ard had all the trouble
of digging them out OF their Italian and
other sources and licking them into
shape to dazzle the groundllngs and
please the dramatic critics of the Eliza
bethan era, his thing Of ignoring him
entirely on Shakespeare's day must in
terfcre somewhat with the comfort and
serenity OF his everlasting rest. He has
never had his name on the bills as "A co.
author; it is only decent ana fair, now
that Ignatius Dunnci.y and Dr. owen

Lord Bacon should at least be- given the

though, take another view of Il.
