O. W. Thurston, second assistant of
Mt. Desert Light Station, while attempt
ing to leave the station in small boat
narrowly escaped drowning. The boat
was capsized and Mr.. Thurston thrown
into the breakers. Not being able to
swim, and strong undertow prevailing,
he was soon unconscious and but for the
daring courage of Capt. Milan, the keep
er, he would have been drowned. Capt.
Milan rowed into the beakers at the risk
OF his own life. The sea was so rough he
was unable to help Mr.. Thurston in that
way so getting ashore, he thought he
might be able to catch him as he was
washed upon the rock. The first time
Thurston was thrown UP, the Captain
caught him by the shoulder, but being
unable to hold him Thurston was soon
swept back into the sea. When he was
washed up tho second time the captain
succeeded in holding him, and by the aid
of the women of the station dragged his
| assistant to place Of safety. Thurston
was in the water fifteen minutes After
working on him for two hours Thurston
showed signs Of consciousness. The first
assistant keeper and Mrs. Thurston wit
messed the accident from the light house
boat just out side the breakers, but were
unable to render any assistance.

wANToN BIRD SHOOTING.
A Reward of Five Dollars for Evidence In
Each Case.

q A practice has grown up among boys
We are sorry to say, of shooting plrd
with air guns. This practice would DC
bad enough if it was confined tn the
noisy, quarrelsome sparrows. But such is
not the case. Our few song birds that are
left us are the chief sufferers. 1t seems
strange that in these enlightened days a
boy can be- found mean enough to Kill
robin. But the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals doesn't propose to
have this thing go on if they can help 1t
and they will pay five dollars to whoever
furnishes the evidence that will convict
any one of killing the birds.

AMNESTY FOR ZEITOUN.

The Porte Promises Pardon and Protection,
But it Looks Risky.
CONsTANTINoPLE, Feb. ii. The
porte has informed the ambassa-
doris Of the powers that it agrees
to grant amnesty to the Armen-
ians who have been for long
time past besieged by Turkish
troops in the town of Zeitoun, but
the porte demands the expulsion
from Zeitoun OF the revolutionary
Hynthicakists who are now living
with the insurgents. The latter
will be allowed to retain their old
weapons, but will be compelled to
surrender their modern rifles.
The porte also demands that the
refugees at Zeitoun, about 5000 per-
sons, return to their villages. Pro-
lection is promised them and every
effort possible will be made to as
sist them during the remainder of
the winter, and in the spring If
necessary. These conditions have
U66u UTWdlu tl w UhS iOlSiSh Soh-
suls at Zeitoun with instructions
to submit them to the insurgents
at that place.
1t is stated here that the consent
OF the porte to grant amnesty to
the Zeitounists may have been
considerably influenced by the fact
that half of the pen belonging to
eighteen battalions of the Turkish
troops besieging Zeitoun are on the
sick list, suffering from exposure,
want of proper food, and lack of
sanitary arrangements, and that
large numbers have died.
1t is estimated that nearly To-
900 Turkish troops occupy various
positions about Zeitoun. They are
unable to take the place by assault,
and had settled down to attempt
to starve the garrison into submits
sion. But the insurgents claim it
is the Turks who are starving, not
the Zeitounists.

Spectator Opinions.

"The way to make a race is to
make strong women. The way to
make strong women is to take
good care of the girls. See that
they keep regular hours, avoid
social and other excuses and you
will be proud OF them"
"The Spectator is of the opinion
that the future of the colored man
is in his own hands-he will be
just what he makes himself. He
will be a success il he tries, a fail
ure IL he will. II fame holds out
for him he must himself achieve it.
~"If any good ever came out of the
habit upon the part OF boys con-
gregating on street corners smok-
Ing cigarettes and INDUCING in
general carouses, at all times OF
the night, the Spectator is una
ware OF it. The place for boys at
night is beneath the parental roof
and the parent who neglects to in
force this rule will live to regret It,"
