GAVE UP HIS LIFE.
In Attempting To Save Little Girls Life
Thomas Hovcndcn Ferishes with
Her, Both Being KILLED
by the Cars

NoRmsTowS. Pa. Ang 15.-Thomas
Hovenden. the famous artist, was in
stantly killed by railroad train near
here Wednesday evening, and II was
In attempting TO save the life OF "A lit
tie girl that he lost his own. The sac
rifice Of Mr.. Hovenden's life was use-
less, because the child that he at
tempted TO save also met her death be-
meath the wheels OF the same engine.
The accident occurred at grade
crossing on what il known as the
Trenton cutoff OF the Pennsylvania
railroad The Chestnut Hill Trolley
companys tracks run up 20 the tracks
OF the railroad company at the
point where the accident occurred. but
do not cross them. Passengers Of the
trolley company are compelled TO leave
the car at the railroad tracks and
cross the latter on foot TO take troll
ley car on the opposite side. Mr..
Hovenden has a summer residence
in Plymouth township, this coun-
", and he was returning home
there on a trolley car When the
car reached its stopping point on the
far side Of the railroad track the pas
sengers alighted as usual and prepared
to cross to the trolley car on the other
side. Beside Mr.. Hovenden, among the
passengers on the car. were Mrs. Clara
PETER and her-i0-ycar old daughter
Bessie.
A fast freight train was approach
ing the crossing as the passengers from
the trolley ear alighted. The little
girl did not notice the on-coming train,
and she ran ahead OF her mother 10
cross the trucks. The train bore rapidly
down and the engineer blew his whistle
freely when he saw the little figure
standing between the rails The child
seemed to become confused and
awaited her coming death without
attempting to avoid 1t. Mr.. Hoven-
den rushed forward and snatched
the child up in his arms Before he
could make the leap that would have
saved them both, the pilot OF the engine
struck him and hurled him across the
track with terrible force. The en-
gineer stopped his train and he and
the fireman ran to where Mr.. Hoven-
den and the little girl were lying side
by side. The man was dead and the
child died as she was raised from the
ground.
Thomas Hovenden was one OF the leading
artists OF America He was still in the COM
pnrative prime OF his intellectual vigor and
artistic skin, being but 80 years OF age.
His hest-lxnown painting, Breaking Homo
Ties" has been engraved probably more
than the work OF any other American artist,
and is familiar object on the walls OF thou
sa@ds OF homes IN the United States. The
painting was one OF the most notable OF tho

Awful Results OF the Recent Disastrous
storm la Japan.
VIcToRA, Il. c., Aug. 15.--The
steamer Empress of Japan has arrived
with adviees from Yokohama up to
August 2. The number OF deaths re-
ported in the railway accident of July
20 was greatly exaggerated. Only six
teen soldiers were killed and thirteen
mora or less seriously injured. The
statement that the train was blown
bodily off the track into the sea is
also discredited. The rails were dis
placed by the waves, which were driven
by the tempest TO great height, and
IL is thought that the cars ran over the
edge of an embankment and plunged
into the deep water. The effects of
the storms were disastrous in all south
western provinces of Japan. Thousands
of houses were destroyed and hundreds
of fishing boats and other small craft
were sunk.
Many additional disasters caused by
the storm of July rs are reported from
the south and west OF Japan. One thou
sand fishermen of the single province
Of Satsuma are known 10 have been
drowned. Three steamships were driven
ashore and few of their crews and pas
sengers escaped alive. Railway acct
dents have been numerous In conse-
quencc Of the heavy foods, and several
villages on tbs seacoast have ocen lit
orally destroyed. The list of deaths
as given by the authorities will exceed

TEBsTER's QUEER EYES.
Being q Paper Hanger. However. They
Suit Him Very Well.

A remarkable case OF visual tlcformlty
Is perplcxng tho oculists OF Washington
and Baltimore. 10 Is said Co ho without n
parallel I'm this country aud perhaps I'm the
world. Tho subject Is Mr.. Thomas Web
ster of New Orleans, whose eyes arc so DO.
culiarly formed that they bafllo all rules of
expression and conduct themselves us no
well regulated optics should.
The idlosyncrasies Of Mr.. Wobster's cycs
consist In the fact that tho pupil, instead
of being In its normal place in the eyeball,
Is In tho lower portion, and In shape Is of
oblong form, extending downward toward
the white of the eyeball.
The result of this eccentric formation is
that tho subject instead OF looking direct
ly ahead, as do those with ordinary every
day eyes, has his angle of vision fixed
about As degrees from true tangent.
Now, this would strike most people rs
being a most distressing inflrmity, but In
tho case of Mr.. Webster professionally
speaking, IL Is in the nature of blessing
Mr.. Webster Is paper hanger, and this po-
culiarity, in his business, is rather of great
assistance to him.
Most paper hangers strain their nccks in
order to keep their eyes on their work,
which in most cases Is above them. Not
SO with Mr.. Webster. He is always look
ing upward, while apparently looking In
front Of him, and hence has n clear view
of the wall without straining his eyes, the
angle Of vision extending several feet
above him.
Mr.. Webster inherited this popularity in
his sight from his father He had great
deal of trouble in persuading the oculists
whom he consulted that his eyes were nat
ural, and that their popularity was not
the result of disease.
The best specialists were disposed to
think that this popularity was the result
Of an operation, but when they examined
the eye they found that the sight came
from the eye at an angle OF As degrees,
looking upward instead OF directly ahead.
They were then forced to admit the verify
of the freak which nature had taken In the
growth of this organ.--New Orleans

DURANT'S CASE.


SAN FRANCISCO. April 1s-The Eman-

topic of discussion on every side In this
city. Notwithstanding the fact that one
or two newspapers have tried and con-
victed Theodore Durant Of the frightful
crime, there seems to be a reaction In
favor of the accused young man. The ev-
idence SO far against him is only circum-
stantial, aud Ybile the police say they
have enough evidence t6 c6nvlct 10 men,
II Is doubtful II any jury would find Du-
rant guilty unless further conclusive
proof Is furnished.
The young man does not act like

crime, he is certainly man Of remarkable
nerve. He continues to assert his in
nocence, and his whole demeanor Is that

Transforming Egyptian History.

EDINBURGH, April lS.-In lecture de-
livered before the Edinburgh Royal
society, Professor Petrie, the distinguished
Psychologist, declared that recent excava-
tions made In the district 10 miles north
Of Thebes pointed to the existence 5000
years before Christ of q race quite distinct
from the Egyptians. This race were
probably the people who overthrow Egyp-
tian civilization at the close of the old
kingdom. Who they were and whence
they came were uncertain, but the indica-
tions suggested that they were branch
of the same eastward migration Of the
Libyans which founded the Amorite race
In Syria.

LIS WISH FULFILLED
BY Chinese Empires Removal of Bar
riers to Civilization.
European Press Widely Diff
fers In Opinions.


VIENNA, April 1S-It Is unusual to com.
bine treaty OF peace with treaty Of
alliance, and 1t is probable therefore, that
separate treaty not destined for publ
cation has been signed by the Japanese
md Chinese representatives.
Whether or not the treaty takes the form
OF an offensive and defensive alliance
matters little, since 1t Is known that Ii
Hung Chang has always wanted to open
his country to European civilization. 1t
10 not likely that he would let slip such
an opportunity Of doing 80 with the aid OF
Japan.
Armistios Extended.
A dispatch from Kobe says that the
Japanese refuse to disclose the terms upon
which peace has been arranged with China
until the treaty is ratified, which must be
within three weeks. The armistice, there
fore, is extended to Mays
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang and his suite
Left Shimonoseki yesterday on their re-
turn to China.
Seven newspapers Of Toxic have been
suppressed and an imperial ordinance
will shortly be promulgated adopting
stringent measures against disaffection.
A Berlin dispatch says, in reference to
the Chinese edict that the import duties
at the open ports shall not exceed 2 per
cent, that Communication duty Of 2 per
cent on the original cost Of imports into
China represents, to all intents and pur-
poses, differential duty against Europe
in favor Of Japan.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says 1t Is
reported that the cession by China Of the
island of Formosa to Japan dissatisfies
the British there. The dispatch adds that
the Chinese soldiers threaten to kill their
commanders If the island is ocded.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says 1t is
expected there that revolution against
the reigning dynasty will be begun. The
leading Chinese Of Canton are coming to
Hong Kong In large numbers.
London Press Comment.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the con-
cession of Formosa will surely displease
England, while the cession of Port Arthur
will be objected to by Russia. Our gov.
ernment, The Gazette says, may safely be
depended upon to do nothing, however,
unless the other powers take action.
The Times says IL presumes that tho in
dependence Of Corea means more or less
thorough Japanese protectorate. It adds
that when the exact terms Of the treaty
are known, European diplomacy will
probably make show of considering
them, but II the Japanese refuse, as they
probably will, to listen to diplomatic ex-
hortations, 1t is dificuls to conceive that
any moro effective interference with their
plans need be seriously apprehended.
The st. James Gazette says II Japan
declines to be frightened, Russia may
como to the conclusion that she would
better not try force. Meanwhile England
II benevolent and has no feeling Of anger
toward japan. The opening Of factories
IN China by Japan does not mean that she
will have monopoly Of such industries,
- England could also open factories II she
chose.

A RIVAL FOR VASSAR.
The Emma willard University Is Rapidly
Widening It's Sphere.

widening It's Spneres
On May 16 Russell Sage will formally
present to the trustees the new building on
the site of the old Troy IN. W Female
seminary, to be known as Russell Sage
hail. In the Emma Willard university. A
bronze statue, from the citizens Of Troy,
commemorative of Emma Willard, will be
unveiled on the same day.
Mrs. Russell Sage was a pupil at the
Troy Female seminary in 1S46-7. Mrs.
Sage, as a girl of II, came under the direct
influence of Mrs. Willard.
When, three years ago, Mrs. Sage went
to Troy to attend the dedication ceremonies
of the school building erected by Mr.. Lewis
K. Gurley on the old college grounds, the
plan of the present Sage hall was suggested
to the architects.
A number Of the alumni Of the Troy
seminary, now residents Of New York,
formed an Emma Willard association, Of
which Mrs. Russell Sage has been prcsi-
dent for four years. The original idea Of
the association was simply to promote
good fellowship and sociability between
old classmates. When Mrs. Sage took hold
Of 1t, she endowed it with meaning and a
motive, and 1t has now at heart the higher
education Of women.
His wife's personal interest in her old
preceptress and her Identification with this
association were motives in interesting Mr..
Sage in the university.
The Emma willard university is to have
endowed scholarships. Russell Sage hall
is built to accommodate 75 students.
Apartments for 25 or 80, fully equipped
and furnished, will be ready for occupation
in September. 1t is probable that the in
stitution will compare with Vassar, Welles-
