RESCUED FROM DRowNING.-Miss
Belle Matbes, handsome young lady
of Memphis, Tenn, who has been
visiting her uncle, Mr.. L. D. Mathes,
at Ocean View, went out beyond her
depth in bathing Thursday evening.
Mr. Jack Dorsey saw her struggling IN
the water and swan one hundred
yards to her rescue. He caught Miss
Mathes as she was disappearing and
brought her to the beach. She was
exhaused and unconscious. Mr.. Thos.
Lowery applied the respirator and sue
cceeded in restoring the lady, but not
sufficiently to consider her out OF dan
ger. DR.. Southgate Leigh, who was
at Ocean View, was summoned and APP
piled other restorative and hyperder-
mic s,imulauts. Miss Mathes lay till
9 O'Clock before it was considered safe
to move her in cot to her uncle's cot
tage. She was facedown and had swal'
lowed large quantity of water when
Mr.. Dorsey caught her, hence the re-
suscitation was difficult and the escape
was an exceedingly narrow one.

Some weeks go a Chicago company was
formed, which offered, through Mr.. Nc
Andrews, to go into extensive manufac-
turing with the copper deposit but condi-
toned their offer upon the patentng of
the invention. Their proposition was sent
to Mr.. Fowler in Connecticut. but before
any active steps could be taken in the
matter, the inventor was dead. Through
his wife it was learned that he had never
confided his secret to any one nor so far
as is known did he leave any written for
mula of the process. Mrs. Fowler thinks
the secret was buried with her husband.
All that is known of the work is that
the inventor coated whatever substance
he wished to plate with his preparation
and then hung the article in the copper
solution in which was submerged the usual
electrical magnates. The deposition of the
copper began at once, ard continued I'M
til the article was removed or all the
copper in the solution exhausted.
The invention gave such promise of COM
mercial value that it is likely other in
ventors will make strenuous endeavors to
discover the secret which died with Mr..
Fowler.

DON'T WEAR TIGHT SHOES.
They Are Conducive to LOckjavv, Acc
cOrding TO n st. Louis Physician.

From the st. Louis Republic
Tight shoes caused the death of Philip
Schneider at the city hospital yesterday.
The same fatal disease that resulted from
tight shoes in Schreiber's case, according
to Supt. Otto Suffer of the city hospital,
threatens every man and woman whose
vanity is stronger than their desire for
comfort 1t is also a possible result from
the wearing of corsets too tightly laced.
The disease was lockjaw. II overlook
Schneider in It's most horrible from. His
death was agonizing. AS to whether ii
VIII serve as a horrible warning, DR..
suffer does not care to venture an opinion.
Schreiber's death was not the result OF
vanity. He was a molder, in poor cir
cumstances. Recently he purchased
new pair Of shoes, which seemed 20 nc
when he bought them, but proved TO small
when he had walked In them awhile. They
caused him considerable pain, but he could
not discard them and buy another pair,
because he had not the money In this
he differed from fashions followers who
have the money, but retain their tight
shoes from preference, regardless OF tho
fact that death turks within the calfskn.
Besides being tight across the foot, the
part that laced across the instep bound
Schreibers feet securely, and by Tues
day sore began to form on the instep OF
his right foot. 1t gradually developed In
to an abscess and Thursday Scheiber de-
cided he needed medical attention. The
abscess seemed 70 affect his entire system.
He applied at the city hospital for treat
ment, but IL was too late. Shortly after
his admission lockjaw developed HIS
jaws became fixed, his muscles rigid and
he was seized at intervals with convul-
sions. He died In horrible agony.
That such a fate awaits the greater por-
ton OF the feminine population OF 81.
Louis and large number OF the male per-
declares Il to be a fact.
Tight shoes are more apt than not TO
produce sores upon the feet" said the
hospital superintendent. "and lockjaw ~
more likely 70 result from such a sore
than from one on any other part Of the
body. The reason h. that short walk
