SAVED 4 uTrLs GIRLS LIFE.

Harvard Student Rescues o Child From
Death by an Electric Car In Cambridge
\ A signal instance of courage and
quicknoss of thought, which undoubted.
~ saved the life of little child, occur
red in Cambridge on Friday evening.
Shortly before p m. a fremont
House electric car was passing along
Main street at a very rapid rate. Near
Windsor street little girl, apparently
about 3 years of age, ran from the side
walk toward the track. The motorman
quickly shut off the current and put ON
the brake Then the child paused, and
the motorman released the car
just as the car had regained its mo-
mentum the child, through some strange
impulse, darted forward to cross the
track. The motorman was almost
breathless with horror. There was no
time to stop the car, and the toddling
infant seemed doomed.
Suddenly tall, athletic young man
sprang from his seat at the end of the
front row, and grasping the curved ham
die on the dasher of the car with his
right hand swung himself out ON the
fender. Just as the car was about to
crush the little girl under its wheels he
seized her firmly by the waist.
1t was trying moment to the nerves
of the passengers and motorman. It
seemed for an instant as if both man
and child would fall in front of the
fender. But by an almost convulsive
effort the rescuer lifted the little girl
from the track and laid her on her back
at one side out of the reach of the
wheels.
So great was the strain upon him that
as soon as the child was released he him
self fell forward on the fender, and
only an unusual degree of agility en-
abled him to scramble up on his knees
and back to his seat III the car.
The whole thing was done in an in
slant. The motorman, pale with fright,
was only able to look his thanks.
The hero of the affair was the most
composed person on the car. He at once
sought rear seat to avoid attention,
merely remarking to the motorman as
he passed: "Gad! Why don't you get
out of this?"
A passenger said that the young man
was Harvard student who resides on
Sacramento street, Cambridge. Boston

A NIHlLlsT PloT.
Truth About the Accident to the Grand
Duchess Xenia of Russia.

Truth About the Accident to the GranA
Duchess Xenia of Russia.
There is great excitement in imperial
circles at st. Petersburg, according to
trustworthy information, because of tho
accident to the Grand Duke Michaelo-
witch and the Grand Duchess Xenia, the
daughter of the czar, ON the evening of
their marriage a few weeks ago. The
Geographic dispatches which were sent
from Russia at the time declared that
on the way from Peterhof palace, where
the wedding was celebrated, to the cas-
tie of Prosha, where the honeymoon was
to be passed, the coachman's eyes had
been blinded by the bright calcium
lights, the carriage had been overturned
and the occupants severely bruised.
But this report, it now appears, was
highly colored by order of the imperial
censor, who wields such autocratic pow
er over the press and telegraph offices in
Russia. The truth appears to be that
the accident was the result of q nihilis-
tic conspiracy to murder the young
pair.
On the way to the castle the newly
welded couple had to cross a bridge
spanning dangerous cut. The bridge
had been tempered with by the conspir-
ators, SO that when the imperial car
riage rushed over it the timbers gave
way, and the carriage and occupants
fell to the bottom. The coachman was
so badly wounded that he died before
he could be removed to hospital. The
grand duchess was badly bruised about
the head and body and had her right
arm broken. 1t is also feared that she
was injured internally. Her young hus-
band had also severe cuts about the
head.
The excitement, of course, was intense
in the city when the truth became
known, despite the efforts to suppress it
and to spread the news that it was an
accident.
Many reasons are assigned as the mo-
tive for the attempt to kill the favorite
daughter of his majesty. 1t had been
expected, some say, that the czar, in
honor of the wedding, would pardon a
number of political prisoners. When it
became known that these hopes were
not to be realized, the nihilists deter
mined to revenge themselves in a way
which would hit the ruler hardest-the
death of his daughter. They almost ac-
oomplished their purpose The czar and
other members of the family fear that
the wretches, maddened by the partial
failure Of their plans, may try some
other way of seeking revenge. The po-
lice for this reason have orders to be
unusually vigilant. New York Trib-
une.

A Soft Thing In the Crab Line.

Just think of soft shell crab weigh
ing "a ounces and measuring 211s
inches from tip to tip of the extended
claws. Such crab was received by Mr..
s. r. Scoggins yesterday, with two
crates of other soft crabs, shipped from
Deals island, Maryland, by Mr.. w. j.
Webster.
In letter which accompanied the
shipment Mr.. Webster wrote that it
was the largest soft shell crab he had
ever seen or heard of. Mr.. Scoggins,
who has been in the fish business over
30 years, said he had never seen one
which even approached in size this
giant soft crab. He sent the crab by ex-
press to the Smithsonian institute at
Washington for permanent preservation.
TIL soft shell crab varies in size from
two inches to the size of the gaint crab
sent to Mr.. Scoggins. The count"
crab, which is considered full size,
measures inches from tip to tip, is
516 inches long ON the shell and az
inches across the back. Baltimore Sun.

mansion in the outskirts of Tuscaloosa,
Ala, spends a great deal of his time
communing with nature, and pens his
songs as the muses. inspire them. He is
a bachelor, and his books, his music and
his beloved roses fill his life with pleas
ure and peace.
The poets father was distinguished
member of the southern bar, and was at
one time chief justice of Alabama He
was native of New York and was of
Welsh and French extraction. The poets
mother was Connecticut woman of
English descent. He began writing verse
at very early age and was soon one Of
the we'll known contributors Of society
verses to the leading magazines. His
first book of poems, "Cap and Bells"
has passed through five editions, and is
particularly popular in the south A
later book, "Rings and Love Knots"
has also been successful and is nearing
a third edition. Many Of the poets
poems have been set to music and
achieved wide popularity.
One of the best known is ga Little
Knot Of Blue" written for Yale stu
dents, set to music by the Yale Glee
club and frequently sung by chorus of
300 students. Another popular song is
"Mignon," which has often been sung
by Calve, and still another is the negro
melody, Swinging on a Grapevine

musical and is SO perfect in rhyme and
rhythm that it quite naturally suggests
a song.

RElGNlNG FAMILIES.

America Has Its "UncommOn People, and
They Are Our "Royal Families.'
In discussing the family squabbles Of
one of the reigning families of New
York, Mr.. Ward McAllister, as the REQ
ognized authority ON everything which
concerns the uncommon people, says
that the trouble is doubtless over and the
family probably entertaining some for
eign prince at their house on the
Thames p"
Why not? Are not our royal families
as good as those of Europe, Of Asia, of
Africa or anywhere else where royal
families are tolerated?
Mr.. McAllister will undoubtedly
agree with us that they certainly are.
1t makes no great difference how power
over man is obtained-whether by the
force and brutality which made princes
in more primitive times or by modern
methods. The result is the same in any
event.
1t is just as honorable and glorious a
thing to accumulate hundred million
unearned dollars and thereby master the
bodies and subjugate the minds Of TO-
900, 100 men as it is to do the same
thing by virtue of controlling million
bayonets. On either hand it is power
usurped from the people to dwarf and
MAIN their minds and souls for the
greater glory of their masters.
Our royal families need not stand
back for those of Europe or of any other
country. Their right to reign is as good,
their blood is as good, and their man
ners, though sometimes indecent when
measured by ordinary standards of de-
cency, are even better than those which
characterize the most courtly courts Of
the world.
When our reigning families go to
Europe and buy the palaces of the effete
survivors of decayed feudalism, it is
condescension to entertain the former
owners, and it would be condescension
still if it were done in the servants
hall instead of the salon.-New York

NEW FOUND WEALTH.
Over $4,000 Discovered In an Old German

Over 81, 900 Discovered In an Old German
Family Bible.
James Pateman is a wholesale dealer
in potatoes who lives on Federal street,
Camden. His wife's maiden name was
Oberstal, and her mother sold fruit and
vegetables for SO years under the old
Market street sheds. She died in 1879,
and her daughter was surprised to find
how small her savings were, although
she had been very thrifty woman. 1t
was believed, however, that she had Civ
en- her money to frolicking spendthrift
son, and the matter was forgotten.
Two weeks ago relative called on
Mrs. Pateman to ask what had become
of the mothers German Bible, saying
that it contained the family births and
deaths and should be looked up. Mrs.
Pateman, after some reflection, remem-
bered that an old trunk contained some
of her mothers clothing and at once
made search therein. The Bible was
found-a huge folio, IS inches square
and it contained much besides good
precepts, for between the leaves nestled
$40 United States bond for $500,
with all the coupons attached, and
$3.50 in legal tender notes. Further
search brought to light nest of gold
and notes in battered old tin tea cady.
Some of the eagles are dated 1890, and
there are over $50 in 81 pieces.
In all the treasure trove is about $2,-
100. Mrs. Pateman already wishes she
had never seen the money, as about 90
nephews and nieces are going to law
for a share of it.-Philadelphia Times.

DR.. Grant suggested he could do the
