What it Means to be Surfman-IIartl.
ship and Injury Els Chief Reward.
From, the Woonsocket (h. ~ Reporter.
One midwinter night in binding snow
storm, Captain 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 height 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, Captain Herbert NJ Knowles crew
of hardy life savers had begun the work of
rescue. Captain Nickerso When brought
ashore, was in pitiable condition. As he
later stated in his official report OF the disaster
(see Government Report) made to Superin-
tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service,
81 suffered much from cramps and pains
caused by the bruises / received before /
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 remedy ac-
complished an immediate relief, and Captain
Nickerson slept as peacefully as child that
night and awoke next morning i'll condition
to face another tempest, if necessary. He
feels that the prompt use of Pain.Killer after
his fearful experience rescued him from un-
utterable suffering and even saved his life.
Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district
He SAYS the life savers all use Pain-Killer,
and consider it the best and most reliable
"all-around" remedy they can have by them.

THERE MUST FIRST BE A VACANCY
Before a Public officer Can be
Elected.
How the San Diego Bonrd of Super-
visors Tried to Install Their
Successors.

The Supreme Court has rendered an
opinion in the case of the People eX rel.
A. II. Sweet, plaintiff and respondent.
VS.. NJ. l.. Ward, defendant and appellant,
San Diego case.
Ward, the appellant. was duly elected
District Attorney for the term commenc-
ing January ?. 1898, and qualified and en-
tered upon this duties of his office. Will
lam Darby was elected TO succeed him
last November. and qualified on Novem-
ber 9th, and died on December 10th.
After Darby's death the Board OF Super
visors appointed Ward to fill the vacancy
caused thereby, and to be District At
torney for 1.-The term of Office to be taken
at u NJ. the 7th day of January, 1885," and
on the day of his appointment Ward
qualified in due form as the appointee to
succeed Darby.
At3 P. NJ. on January 7th the Board of
Supervisors, the personnel of which had
been changed by two new members TAX
ing their seats, declared that vacancy
existed and appointed Sweet to I'LL the
term for which Darby was elected. Sweet
demanded the Office, and Ward refused to
surrender it, and action was brought 10
determine the conflicting claims.
The appellant (Ward) contended that
no vacancy in the Office resulted from the
death of Darby, and III did, it occurred
so instant upon his death, and the super
! visors properly filled 1t by appointing
Ward, and that he had right to hold the
office till his successor was appointed or
elected and qualified.
The court holds that there was no va
canoy till January 7th, the time fixed by
law for Darby TO take his Office. and that
the old Board OF Supervisors could not
fill the vacancy before it occurred, or to
fill vacancy which would arise in the
term Of the succeeding board; that upon
the election and qualification OF Darby
his right 10 the Office for the term COM
mencing at noon January 7th vested i'm
mediately, and Wards contingent right
to an additional term was cut oil, aud
upon the divestiture Of that right by death
! it existed III no one, and there was no
reyivor of Wards contingent right to an
extended term. The board could by its
action neither create vacancy nor by
anticipation I'LL one which was to arise in
tho future during the term OF its Sue
cessors.
The court concludes therefore. that the
attempt of the first board to fill the va
cancy on January 23d was in excess of its
power, and void, and that the vacancy
was properly filled by the existing board
at p. NJ. on the 7th. The Judgment APP
pealed from is affirmed by Henshaw,
all the judges concurring.

to scrap. Nothing would do but he must
have some of the officers deep, red

Anold Insurance Policy.

David G. Drinkwater of this city,
found a very ancient marine insurance
policy while looking over some old papers
yesterday. 1t insured the brig Sally,
owned by William Robinson and others,
and commanded by Captain David
Drinkwater. The schooner was valued
at three hundred pounds, and was in
sured for two-thirds of her value, and
there was an additional insurance of
three hundred pounds on her cargo The
policy was made out more than one hun
bred years ago, and it is to be hoped that
Captain Drinkwater made d successful
trip. The odd thing about it was the
fact that the insurance was not by COM
pany, but by individuals, the famous
William Gray of Boston, through his
agent Eben Preble, taking two hundred
of the total of five hundred pounds.
There was one clause in the ancient con-
tract that at first sight would seem to
have opened up way to law suit, and
that was the agreement to decide all
questions that might arise under the con-
tract according to the custom in Boston.
The old time policy is a very brief docu-
ment. partly printed and partly written,
and very unlike similar documents of the
present day. Mr.. Drinkwater will add
the ancient insurance policy TO his other
papers relating to the olden time.

Engaging the Minister.

1t is singular fact that very many
persons make appointments for weddings
and funerals without first consulting the
minister. They seem to think that clergy
men can always answer summons. A
we'll known minister was once greatly
astonished to read in the paper the an
nouncement of funeral in his church
On making inquiry, he found that the
parish committee had not been consulted.
Fortunately the clergyman was able to
officiate.
Ministers are frequently put to great
Inconvenience when conference would
have enabled both parties to be satisfied
Young cou pies, about to be married,
sometimes fail to secure the services of
the clergyman preferred We strongly
advise our readers. therefore, to be very
sure, before making an appointment,
that some one has seen the minister.
