S4YED BY HER DOG.

4 Demented Lady's Rescue-Was Found
 Clinglng to splles at Tomlinson Bridge A PntrOiman Arrives in Time.
 Mrs. aura $. Phelps, fifty-seven ye7r:
 old, who lives with her sons at 6S Prince street, was found in the water at Tom
 linson bridge at o'clock yesterday morning.
 Attention was attracted to her by her large collie dog standing on the bridge and barking furiously.
 Patrolman Flannery of the Grand ave nue precinct was patrolling Belle dock as the steamer Richard Peck was being moored. The dog ran toward him and jumped upon him, whining and wag- ging his tail. Then running back to his post on the bridge the dog placed his forepaws on the rail, looked down into the water and resumed barking.
 The officer hurried to the spot and saw woman elinging to tte spiles that form the pier on which the bridge swings.
 The partolman ran to the steamboat landing for assistance and here he found Patrolman Lonergan and Cap tain Hardy of the Peck, who returned with Patrolman Flannery, and the three by means of a rope, which they fastened around the woman's body, managed to haul her out.
 Patrolman Lonergan took her home in a cab and a physician was called It is feared that she will not recover from the shock she sustained.
 Mrs. Phelps is slightly demented. About o'clock Tuesday night she left her sons home, where she lives, and wandered away with her faithful dog. Her sons visited station 3 during the night and notified the police, and offi- cers were detailed to search for her.
 She has wandered away from home. on other occasions and at such times she avoids every one. It Is supposed that she reached Tomlinson bridge Tuesday night, and hearing some one approach, she desceneded the ladder to the pier in search of a hiding place, and that In the darkness she missed her footing and fell into the water between the spiles. It Is believed that she was In the water several hours. She was barefoot and bareheaded when she left nome Tuesday night, and 1t Is singular hat she could have crossed the city rom Prince street to Tomlinson bridge lndetected,

There is no doubt that the life of the great poet was greatly pro- longed by drinking the waters of the Sprudel Spring. In our day we have the Sprudel Spring brought to us in the form of Salt, which is obtained by evaporation from the waters of Carlsbad.
 The CARLSBAD SPRUDEL SALT (powder form) is in no sense mere purgative, but is an alternative and eliminative remedy which dissolves tenacious bile. al lays irritation and removes ob- struction by aiding nature.

A very important bill concerning the manufacture and sale of gold and sil- yer articles has been favorably re- ported by the judiciary committee and will be ready for action by the house next week. Those who appeared in. the support of the bill claimed that large quantities of bogus gold and sil- yer articles are annually sold in the state, the purchasers supposing that they are getting articles of very much greater value than they actually se- cure It is claimed that the public is defrauded and that the business of hon. est dealers is very seriously interfered with.
 This bill is very sweeping in its char acter and if enforced will prevent the sale of all plated and filled goods under any sort of misrepresentation.
 The bill is as follows:
 Section Amy and every article repre- sented to be of gold, which is made for sale or offered for sale, or held in pos session with intent to sell by any dealer, shall bear upon it, plainly stamped, the figures indicating the exact number of | twenty-fourth parts of pure gold or pro- | portion of gold that the said article or articles contain.

BRITISH COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE
Editor of the Standard Sets the Lion 4
Lashing His Tail.

hsosuiuB A8lis
LONDON, Dec. 4. - British newspaper
comment on the presidents message is of
all sorts. The Times and News say little
Of the part devoted to Venezuela, but tho
standard, the Conservative organ, says:
1--WE cannot but regret the tone of Presi-
dent Cleveiand's references to Venezuela
If we may judge Of the tone and substance
OF Mr. Oiney's dispatch from she para
phrase thus impaired to congress we are
not surprised that no answer has been re-
ceivcd; and We further undertake to pre-
dict that when the reply reaches the
White House it will furnish the president
with a deal of matter for serious refiec-
ton. We must be pardoned if we venture
to say that the whole passage referring to
Venezuela is n tissue of unreal assump-
lions and unsupported deductions.
IF the Americans desire to carry out
views thus expressed they will do SO after
due calculation Of the cost. Even if VIC
were eager for arbitration, the experience
in the Behring sea controversy would
hardly encourage us. 1t is not easy to
argue calmly when we find that President
Cleveland has already prcjudiced tho
merits If the dispute. But even strong
states have rights, and though Great
Britain is able To maintain its dignity and
interests it ought not to be q mark for pub
lie affront in 4 presidential message"
The Post (Conservative) says: LAS r..
regards Samoa and Venezuela, the mess
age appears to be framed on lines which
Senator Chandler might approve In nc.
gard to Cuba, there are similar signs OF n
disposition II conciliatc the feelings of
popular agitators- These things are in.
cidents Of every presidential campaign,
and President Cleveland never pretended
TO be superior to them
The Graphic says: The crudities and
indiscretions of President Cleveland's pro.
nunciamento on foreign affairs nigh.
have been evolved by the late Mr.. Blaine
in his worst mood. Can anything be moro
absurd than the proposal that the Schom-
burg line lin Venezuela should be sub
mitted to arbitration: The reference to
Cuba is infinitely more injudicious. 1t Is
virtually an expression Of sympathy with
ftlibustering."
