"GOOD-BY, MATE, GOOD-BYT
Telegraph Lineman Drops Forty Feet
to Save His ComDanion's Life.

| The life of the telegraph lineman is
full of peril. AS a rule, the workman
has served an apprenticeship to his ar
duouS occupation or has previously
qual1fied as sailor. 1t is no easy mat
ter to climb hand over hand the huge
telegraph poles, the sight Of which is SO
! familiar all over the country. In
stormy weather the workman carries
his life in his hand. A few years ago a
shocking accident drew attention to the
dangerous nature of the work. Two
men were engaged on a telegraph pole
standing many feet above a well-known
line of railway. A wire had broken,
and they were busy repairing the dam
age.
The wind blew fiercely from the east,
and the pole rocked to and fro in the
blast. Suddenly strong gust caused
one OF the men to turn in his position.
In doing so he somehow pushed his
companion, who, taken unawares, fell
backward. He clutched at his mate,
and both tumbled over among the wires.
For moment the two men hung with
out speaking word. Then one of them
said:
Bill, l can't reach the post, and I'm
afraid if move the wires will break"
And as he spoke a wire broke.
well, mate, it's big drop down into
the grass" replied the other man, "but
as you're married and have three kids I
don't see why 1 should stay here"
mo, don't do that, Bill. You'll get
killed surely. Let's hang a little longer"
But another wire broke, and Bill made
up his mind
"Good-by, mate" he said to the
other, who had tears in his eyes, good
by"
Then he dropped-a fall of forty feet.
He fell among some bushes and rolled
down the embankment. When he rose
for he was not dead, he crawIed up to
where his companion hung
I'm all right, mate. I'm going for
help"

his life for his mate told his tale be

but his noble action saved his friend S

BRITIsHERs COMPLAINING.
American Steamships Taking Trade
Away From Them.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Questions
recently asked in the British Parlia-
ment indicate that the transportation or
United States mails by American lines
is hurting the revenue of British steam
ship lines, and they are accordingly
complaining. 1t has been the practice OF
all foreign Governments to send their
mails, except especially addressed let
ters, by their own steamships. The
United States not having until recently
any American line, patronized every
body, but is now following the course
pursued by other Governments and
patronizing their own lines, as far as
this can consistently be done without
detentions of the mails. The officials of
the Postoffice Department state that
they will keep on pursuing this course,
whether it displeases the British steam
ship lines or not

The Disappointed Contributors.

After making all reasonable allow
ance for the disappointment OF unsuc-
cessful writers. after admitting that no
honest editor can expect to be popular
among contributors, the plain fact re-
mains that the casual contributor does
not understand his true position. His
demands are frequently unreasonable,
and there need be little hesitation in
saying that he receives far more consid.
Grafton than he deserves. :Eot to an.
swer O civil letter on business is at once

the recipient occupies an editorial chair

In strict logic the universal con-

Greatly to the disappointment of Balti-
more rooters, the first Temple cup game
between the champions and Clevelands.
arranged for yesterday, had to be post
pcned, because of the non-arrival Of Te-
ebau and his men. The three Baltimore
games will now be played today, tomor-
row and Monday.
The Cleveland club left that city Wednes-
day afternoon and Were to have arrived
in Baltimore yesterday morning. The train
they were on was delayed by a freight
wreck near lockwood, Pa. and some
bridges washed away, and did not arrive
until about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The train on which the Clevelands trav-
eled reached the wreck about midnight
Wednesday and remained there all night.
1t was still further delayed by a bridge
being washed away. and Manager Tebeau
said last night, I'VE had to walk about
half the way"
He telegraphed Manager Hanlon yester-
day morning. stating the inability of the
club to reach there, and the game was
promptly declared off for the day and post
poned until next Monday.
Manager Tebeau said last night that
Young would pitch today and Wallace to-
morrow. Cuppy will pitch in Cleveland.
He said last night that the Clevelands were
in fine condition and he declared his de-
termination Of winning even without Cuppy.
Manager Hanlon says Hoffer will prob
ably pitch today, but beyond that he was
undecided. Corbett will probably pitch one
of the Baltimore games. If Hoffer wins
from Young today he will probably be pit
ted against him Monday. NopS and Pond
are also possibilities in the pitching line.
The umpires for the Temple cup games
will be EmSlie and Sheridan.

Whitehead Beaten by Ten Eyck.

Joseph J. Whitehead the amateur single
scull champion of America, was defeated
yesterday afternoon in match race for a
hundred-dollar gold watch by Edward H.
Ten Eyck of the Wachusett Boat Club of
Worcester, Mass The race was a mile and
half, with turn and was rowed over
the old college course on Lake Quinsiga-
mond. Ten Eycks time was 9.5S 2-5, the
fastest that has ever been made by single
sculler over this course. About 1000 peo-
pie witnessed the race, which was most
exciting one from the start to the finish,
Whitehead leading from the start to the
turn, but here Ten Eyck got the better of
him and squared away with a slight ad-
vantage. He increased his lead until he
was three lengths to the good. When
three-eighths Of mile from the finish
Whitehead made a grand squirt and re-
duced the lead to a length and a quarter
by which distance the Worcester sculler
won. The race was a lively affair for the
betting fraternity. The Boston men were
wagered to a standstill shortly after they
arrived at the lake. ana about $1,000
changed hands Whitehead is not satisfied
with the result, and wants to row his man
again next spring.
