A 17-Year-Old Heroine.
The Daughter Of a Connecticut Light
House Keeper Rescues Two Men from
Drowning.

House Keeper Rescues Two Men from
Drowning.
Herbert Chase and Edward Howe of Bridge
port, Conn, went fishing off Stratford Light Sat
urday. When the tide turned and began run.
ming fast they attempted to pull up the anchor.
In so doing they upset the boat and both we're
thrown into the rushing water. Chase could
swim a little but the other man was helpless.
Chase managed to hold up his companion, how
ever but with this burden could not reach the
upturned boat Miss Judson. the l7.year. old
daughter of the lighthouse keeper, at that
time in the lantern of the lighthouse, and she
sped in the distance the two men struggling for
their lives. Down the spiral stairs the young girl
rushed and when she reached the open door she
seized the rope of the alarm bell and rang il VIC
lently a few times; then ran on to the water $
edge. On her way she seized piece of rope, and
with it plunged into the fast tide and swan
bravely out. She had nearly reached the half
drowned men when her father and brother came
running down the beach, having heard the alarm
bell while they were at work IN adjoining
field. They also plunged into the water Miss
Judson, upon reaching the men, threw the rope
to them and aided Chase in supporting his half un
conscious companion. The father and brother
swan to the boat, rghtel it, and then, reaching
the others, soon had them safely aboard.

New Hampshire News.
Col. James A. Woods of Acw0rth for CoIIect0r

A Washington correspondent SAYS. Among
the New Hampshire visitors to the national
capital this week was Hon. James E. French
of Moultonborough, the well known Repub-
lcan politician. Mr.French is looking for the
appointment of collector of internal revenue
of the district of New Hampshire under the
Mckinley administration. He has, however,
a very vigorous competitor in the person of
Col. James A. Wood of Acworth. 1t looks
up to date as if the latter had little of the
best of the argument, but, as everybody
knows, politics is uncertain.
1t has been universally conceded right
along that Charles j. Hamblett of Nashua
would have regular walkover for the APP
pointment of United States district attorney
to succeed Hon. Oliver E. Branch, but things
have changed little. Col S. S. Jewett of
Laconia came to the city few days ago, and
after comforting with the members of the
New Hampshire delegation announced him
self as candidate for the place and started
back to his New Hampshire home with the
object and intention of making a vigorou
struggle for the appointment

Kelly Pleads Guilty..

Joseph E. Kelly, charged with the muir
der of Cashier Joseph A. Stickney of the
Great Falls national bank of Somersworth,
N. H., pleaded guilty in the Somersworth
municipal court before Judge Knapp Sat
urday morning. Everything connected
with the hearing was Of most dramatic
description. Kelly, who had only week
ago called every one in Somersworth his
friend, and had been on the most intimate
terms with local people, was Saturday
morning apparently without friend in the
world. His father, who had been expected
to be present at this hearing, had not
come, neither was there either counsel OF
friend to appear in Kelly's behalf. He
was absolutely alone, and, apparently
bowed down with grief and remorse, while
shaking like child, he was utterly obliv-
ious of the surroundings.
The prisoner was brought into the hall,
and after forced passage through the
throng of spectators, was seated in the
center of the open space on the floor OF
the hall Behind him was Sheriff Hayes
and the other officers who had been closely
connected with the case. At 902 County
Solicitor Mason moved that Kelly be
arraigned. Judge Knapp arose and pro-
ceeded to read the warrant charging Kelly
with having murdered, on the 10th, Joseph
A. Stickney by hitting him on the head''
and ''cutting his throat" As Kelly stood
during the reading. he seemed to be very
weak, so much SO that he partly fell for
ward on the table, and it was only by
great exertion and by firm clutch on
the table, that he finally was able to stand
up. His head was bowed upon his breast,
and for two minutes he stood motionless.
AS the judge, in reading the warrant,
reached the words, with a policemans
billy did hit him on the head and then with
razor did cut his throat" Kelly began to
break down, and before the Judge finished
was sobbing ike child. He seemed to
be completely unnerved. As Judge Knapp
asked the question, care you guilty or
not guilty." Kelly's head dropped lower
and his sobs grew louder. The court was
obliged to repeat the question three times,
when, by great effort, Kelly answered
the one word, Guilty" SO low that only
those in the immediate vicinity could hear
him. His voice was hoarse and he
appeared to be choking as the word was
uttered. There was no confusion or out
cry as Kelly's unexpected plea was made,
and the court then announced to the pris-
oner that he would be taken back to the
county Jail at Dover, and held for the next
session of the supreme judicial court in
September.

 There is little doubt that the men who own these range ponies are wise in getting rid of them at any price. Throughout Central Arizona the little animals run by the thou. sand, untouched by the hand of man, for they are not valuable enough in the main to run down, brand and break. Only the best get such attention. On the range every year are left the culls.'' The Lewis brothers of Mesa tried this scheme of buying wild range stock; that had known no rope since the time of their branding. They paid $400 for 100 head, somewhere south of Prescott, and managed by skill and much labor to bring their bunch down to Mesa and into an alfalfa pasture. Not a day passed but what some of the little devils 80 badly crippled himself in the barbed wire as to render doctoring and in some instances shooting.

 "Well, I'm dreadfully glad; they don't make real comfortable bed fellows" and Billy seemed real pleased to know that none of the poisonous vermin he had named had molested us.
 Upon leaving this ranch we at once began the ascent. For six long miles there is a sharp and perpetual climb. We are above the timber line, and trees and shrubbery appear on every hand. It is in striking contrast to the plains which we had crossed. About two miles out, 8 large rat tier, which was coiled by the road side, attemped to get away from us, but stopped him with club and detached 12 glistening rattles from the writhing body with the "nib'' of printers rule, which always carry with me as a sort of charm.
 At o'clock we arrived at Hub bard's a settlement eighteen miles farther west. This is a flat level space in the midest of the Coast Range, and a few .plucky farmers have come up here and are trying to make a living growing wheat and barley. They haul all their pro visions seventy miles, and their produce the same distance to market. The fruits here amount to almost nothing. A few apricots, peaches almonds and English wal nuts are grown by irrigating, but water is too scarce, and costs too much to pipe out of the mountains, to make it practical for the farmer of moderate means. But the district schools here are good. One district we passed had but seven scholars, and yet the teacher, a Los Angeles lady, received the princely salary of $75 per month for hel services. Some of the scholar; travelled nine miles on horseback daily from their homes.
