PIG PAT SAVED A LIFE.
squeaIed When Mrs. Cullen Fell Into
East River.

From the New York Times
The three-masted schooner Warner
Moore. now lying at Pier Is East river.
has a pig on board that has distinguished
himself. The pigs name is Pat. and he
lives in the stewards kitchen. but owing
to his inclination to quarrel with the soul
lion and assau Capt. Croker and his sea-
men, he was recently sentenced to be
killed when the vessel should start on her
voyage for the West Indies
The doomed pig. as if fully alive to the
fate that awaited him, and resolved to
accomplish something in the interest of
humanity that would entitle him to re-
prieve at the hands of Capt Croker.
saved the life of Mrs. Margaret F. Gull
len Of IS Dean street, Brooklyn, early
yesterday morning by creating such an
uproar on board the schooner when she
fell into the river that he aroused the
sailors.
The wind was blowing a gale that made
the masts and rigging of the vessels
along the East river indulge in a dismal
chorus of grooming ana creaking Mrs
Cullen wandered aimlessly along the pier
When she came TO the stern of the sChoon-
er she leaned over the stringpiece while
attempting to read the name She fell
headforemost into the water
Her screams were heard by the pig
Pat the only occupant of the neighbor-
ing vessels who was not fast asleep. The
pig a once began squealins so vigorously
that he aroused the eight sailors on board
the schooner.
The steward was the nrst to sprinc
from his bunk, and not understanding
the cause of the uproar, he al once be-
labored the pig with a broomstic,S for
disturbing his slumbers. This made the
pig so furious that he squealed with all
his might until all the sailors On boar
the schooner rushed on deck to ascertain
the cause of the disturbance.
One of the seamen heard the screams
Of Mrs. Cullen, and threw a line 10 ner.
BY this time Policemen Ware and Lynch
were attracted by the noise. They also
saw the woman struggling in the water.
and cried out to her to keep up COURAGE
| and hold fast to the rope.
The policemen tied a rope around The
waist Of one of the sailors who Nolun-
teered to go TO the woman's rescue. He
was lowered from the side Of the schoon-
er, and as soon as he had succeeded I'M
erasping Mrs. Cullen by the heels lust as
she was sinking exhausted he was hauled
to the deck.
Mrs. Cullen was found ID be in such a
critical condition that she was removed
to the Hudson street hospital. She socn
recovered, and yesterday afternoon left
the hospital for her home IN Brooklyn.
She stated that her husband was a cap
tain on board one of the vessels lying
around the pier. and that while endeavor-
ing to find him, she was swept INTO the
river by a sudden gust of wind.
Pat, for being the means or saving her
life, viii probably get a respite at the
least.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Baltimore, Md. Jan. 29,-The bite Of an
English sparrow has caused the death Of
little Ida Moore. the bright 1S-months-old
daughter of Charles Moore, Of near Stem

One day last week two brothers of the
child were playing in the barn. when
they captured an English sparrow thai
had sought shelter. They were greatly
pleased with their find. and took the bird
to the house for the little girl to play
with.
On being released, the sparrow flew al
the child and caught her lower lip IN us
beak. The baby's screams brought neI
mother to the rescue. and she tried 70
get the sparrow away. Before this couiu
be done the bird had to be killed and inc
beak pried open with pair of pincers'
An illness, in the nature of blood poison
ing, set in, and the little one soon sue
cumbed. DR. Mace says that her deah
was due to the effects Of her injury.

A lieutenant of artillery, with a SQUAD NJ

time the jocks was planned. Who the ORR
ginator was is not known, but Admiral
Porter received the credit.
"A bogus ram was built. On an enor-

ture that resembled a terrible ironclad

Guns protruded from the ports and pork

of the Indianola that the hour for action
was at hand. in his imagination the lieu

death and destruction. He would not per-
nit the enemy to recapture the Indianola.
Hastily placing all the powder he had in
the turrets of the monitor, he applied

moments elapsed. and all that remained
above decks of the ironclad was mass
of debris. About the time the dreaded
'gunboat' came sailing by and ran onto

.AN INCORREoT DEsORIPr1oN.

It Is perhaps somewhat ungenerous to
 thing that is said in warm blood at a Hinkey-an glorification meet
 ing, but 1t appears that Brother Osborn
 of the Register did at that Hinkey-and-
 football gloriflcation meeting in Hart
 ford incorrectly describe the inhabitants
 of New Haven. He told the reverend
 and irreverend upholders of Hinkey-
 and-football that this community was a
 "God-fearing and Dwight-fearing com
 munity." There is, we hope, a half
 truth in this, or, rather, we hope that
 half of it is true But 1t is a ref1ec-
 tion both upon this community and
 upon President Dwight to call New
 Haven Dwight-fearing community"
 It is nothing of the kind. It fears no
 man, although some of it's members
 would rather not see the income tax
 collector And President Dwight has
 not spent hds long and useful life In try
 ing to make himself a fearsome ob- ject to his fellow citizens. There is no
 man in New Haven who is less feared
 than the kindly, reasonable and good natured president of the university. He is not even feared by the boys who are
 in his power, unless they know they have ample reason for such fear, and even then they are not as scared as they ought to be. If Brother Osborn meant to intimate that God and Yale university are the two principal in- fuences in New Haven that intimation was perhaps permissible from his view point, but if that was his idea he was in his way of promulgating it. as well as slightly irreverent. We read that his description of New Haven was considered one of the best things of the evening. If this is true his dis .inguished audience was just as discrlin- mating about it as about Hinkey-and- fOotbalI
