What Mr.. Paxton and wife Are DOING

The Rev. and Mrs. J. ID. Paxton OF
Philadelphia have lately moved into
the Latin quarter Of Paris with the
hope Of working reformation, promot-
Ing religion and advancing social life
among the American students, says q
Paris correspondent of the Pittsburg
commercial Gazette. DR.. and Mrs.
Paxton have rented a studio and apart
ment In the heart Of this quarter. Here
they entertain the students. Every

a oevy OF them are always Il - found

become larger and larger; few of the
receptions are attended by less than
loo Americans. DR.. Paxton grasped
this fact, that a church was not the
pace TO attract students. He rented q
studio-one In which the students work
all week and which they are as familiar
win as they are with their own rooms.

these meetings. The students drift in,

An Old Book Throws Light on . Last
Century Scandal
An old book Of curious interest to
students Of Maryland history was yes
terday presented to the Enoch Pratt
Free Library. Il was published In Lon
don in 176S and contains a report OF the
trial OF Frederick Calvert. the sixth
and last Lord Baltimore, upon the
charge Of abducting a young Quaker
milliner named Sarah Woodcock. Ser
wants OF Lord Baltimore, male and fe-
male. carried the girl from her home
In London TO his lordship's country
place near Epson. In County Surrey,
where she was detained for several
weeks. When rescued by her friends
she at first would make no formal COM
plant against Lord Baltimore, because
OF a misunderstanding OF the nature OF
the legal proceedings. and II was upon
this technically that his lordship was
acquitted. His dismissal aroused q
great storm OF popular indignation in
London, which was fomented by
pamphleteers and anonymous writer's
TO such a degree that Lord Baltimore
was obliged to retire from England
and spend the rest OF his life abroad.
He died three years later, in 1771, In
Italy. He left no legitimate heirs, and
the colony OF Maryland and his estates
In Ireland and England passed to a
natural o named Henry Hartford, af-
ter whom Hartford county was named.
Hartford was the last owner OF larry
land prior to the revolution. The book
was recently purchased at auction in
Philadelphia. with other old volumes,
by Mr.. Charles Weathres Bump, by
whom 1t was given to the Pratt IL
brary. Copies OF It are already con-
tanned In the Peabody and Maryland

noDlemen, says a Spokane correspond
ent OF the San Francisco Examiner.
The Victoria cross had been bestowed
on many less entitled to II than Hens
worth and there is no doubt hat this
brave deed will be recognized by the
Destowal OF a similar honor should the
brave hero survive the injuries that
ne received In saving the lives of his
comrades. 1t was the shaft Of the
Young America mine at Rossland camp
mat Jem Smith and Frank Conson
came so near meeting with q frightful
death, which must have been certain
n swift but for the prompt and
heroic act Of their comrade above, who
In saving their lives did SO al the risk
OF his own. Smith and Conson were
working at the bottom of a narrow
smart, at a depth Of nearly $50 feet,
engaged in loading ore into an IRON
bound bucket. while Jim Hemsworth's
duty consisted in hauling the bucket to
the surface by means OF q windlass.
Inc heavy bucket, filed with ore. had
almost reached the top Of the shaft
when the iron crank Of the windlass
suddenly snapped in two like a bit Of
pine, hurting Hemsworth to the
grousd. Springing to his feet, half
dazed by the blow, Hemsworth saw
the windlass whirling around at a
frightful rate of speed as the loaded
bucket shot down the shaft upon the
men below. He had not a second to
lose. There was Just one chance to
save them and he took that chance.
Jumping forward, he threw his body
upon the cogs OF the whirling wind
lass, thrusting his arms and shoulders
betwee the swiftly-revolving wheels.
with an awful jerk the loaded bucket
stopped Just above the heads of the
two terrified miners far down In the
'shaft. Pale as death and with the
blood flowing from him in streams and
suffering intense agony Re never ut
tered a cry or even a sound as the
Jaws OF the wheels pinioned him fast,
as In a wise. Superintendent Shields
witnessed the accident from a short
distance away, but so Mortified was
he at the sight that for a moment he
stood as II paralyzed. Quickly recov-
ering his faculties he rushed to HENS
aid and in a twinkling had.
blocked the machinery and caused
Hemsworth to be released from his
perilous position. AS Hemsworth stag
gered back and was about to fall
Shields caught him In his arms, at the
same time exclaiming: my God, Jim,
this is awful!" "Oh, what's the diff
ference" answered the plucky fellow,
so long as l saved the boys?" 1t was
long, however, before the intense
pain he suffered, together with the loss
OF blood, began to have its effect on
powerful constitution and
he became too weak to stand. A lit
ter was hastily formed by men who
had by this time arrived. Tenderly the
wounded man wal placed upon 1t and
with the utmost care Hemsworth was
carried to Rossland, a mile away, and
placed on a cot in the hospital. His
wounds were dressed and the injured
man made as comfortable as could be
under the circumstances. Pie attend
ing physicians are at this time unable
to state how seriously Hemsworth's in
juries are likely to result. but unless
he Is hurt internally they hope to save
his life. His arms, however, in all
likelihood, will have to be amputated
the shoulder.
