The Rev. ii. A. Henry and Charles NJ. Cur
tbs Report to Trinity Chapter.
At a meeting of Trinity Chapter OF
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew last
night week Rev. ii. Ashton Henry and
Charles NJ. Curtis made verbal reporta
of the international convention OF the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew which met
10 Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.. Henry said that
among the grandeRt features of the con-
vention were the singing and re-
sponsive reading of the /, 300 or more
men. He also spoke Of the great COM
muuion service when eight clergymen
we're at the altar and !, $50 persons par
took of the bread and wine. Two
things impressed him at the conven-
tion. Brotherhood men should make
their actions closely follow their talk,
and he thought this was what the ma
iority of the men at convention were
trying to do to. day. Another i'm
preston he received was that the
Brotherhood was a wonderful thing in
the American Church. 1t is distinctly
masculine and in this respect NO other
church organization corresponds to it,
Mr.. Curtis, in his remarks, gave
some personal impressions of noted men
he saw at the convention, including
Canon Gore and the Lord Bishop OF
Rochester. He made suggestions as to
how chapters may improve their oppor-
tunities to do good.

HER BRAVERY REWARDED
Miss Olive HartlOVe Presented With a
Book by Rev, George ]. Kelley,
GIRL STOPPED RUNAWAY HORSE
Saving a Woman From POSI-
BILE Fatal Injury.
THRILLING RESCUE ON CONCORD PIKE

Miss Olive Hartlove, daughter of
Walter II. Hartlovs OF NJ. 307 East
Third street, although only about 10
years Of age, is a heroine, having won
signal distinction and probably saved a
human life by her bravery Monday week.
She was rewarded on Wednesday for her
courage by the Rev. George J. Kelley,
who presented her with handsome
book. He has also sent nor name to a
society which takes cognizanco and
makes record OF acts Of bravery.
On Monday afternoon Miss Hartove
started out for short trip on her
bicycle. She went out over Washington
bridge, and, reaching the Concord
turnpike, went west on that thorough
fare as far as McIlee's hill. She re-
turned and was riding along leisurely,
when, after having crossed the tracks of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, she saw
horse and carriage approaching her,
the horse evidently having been fright
aned and running as if possessed Of
demons.
woman was driving and Miss Hart
love realized at a glance that the life of
the fair driver was 10 peril. The
woman in the carriage was badly
frightened and was screaming at the
top of her voice for somebody to stop
her runaway horse.
ISIS Hartlove took in the situation
at glance. and, although the mad
dened animal was almost upon her, she
was determined to risk her life to save
that of the woman in tha carriage. Ac.
cordingly she quickly JUMPED from her
bicycle and ran at the horse. Her
plucky action was effective and she
succeeded in running the horse into the
fence by the side of the road and
brought it to standstill. As soon as
she had the horse pacified she went to
the assistance of the frightened woman,
and in few minutes matters were
righted.
The woman was extremely grateful TO
Miss Hartloye and made an effort to
obtain her rescuer's name. But Miss
Hartlove was modest, and as soon as
abe accomplished her purpose jumped
on her wheel and rode back to her
homo in this city as though nothing
unusual had happened. The name OF
the woman in the carriage could not be
ascertained.

California Gold Production.

The marked increase of mining inter-
est i'm California which has been noted
during the past year had the practical
result of adding 1.S4T ,245.O1 to the
output of gold. In 1895, according to
the figures of Charles G.. Yale. the sta
tistician of the Mint, the auriferous
yield of this State was $15,334.317 go
1t has now been increased to $1I.604.-
O26.30. In 1894 the output was $12,54O.-
COG; in 1893. 11.172.036; in 1891. $10.-
445, 4SS; in 1890, $0.S06,S51. In seven
years, therefore. production has nearly
doubled, bringing the sum total very
close to the point reached in 1870. when
the Mint returns Of California gold
were $1S,6S2.072.
This revival of prosperity is in large
degree due to the discovery of new and
economical methods of ore reduction.
In 1870 no rock which assayed less than
so per ton was believed to be worth
taking to the mill. Now So rock Mt
points where power Is cheap yields n
profit. Could some even moderate dis
coveries of rich ore be made--a thing
that Is always possible-the use of the
electric and cyanide processes would
once more raise gold reduction here to
the bonanza figures.-,San Francisco

French scientists seems to be that the
easiest way to get rid of condemned
criminals is to asphyxiate them by
means of Illuminating gas. NJ. Berthe
lot, than whom no one in France is bet
ter qualified to speak on the subject. is
strongly in favor Of this mode of CAPT
tai punishment.
''There Is no scientific objection 20
the use of illuminating gas for this pur-
pose" he says. Here in Paris dogs
are regularly asphyxiated by means Of
gas. The animals are placed in box,
which is connected with gas pipe,
and they are stifled very soon after the
gas Is turned on. AS for criminals who
might be asphyxiated in this fashion,
1t is probable that they would suffer ut
least for some seconds; death would
not be instantaneous. There would be
contractions, spasms, and, in conse-
quence, momentary struggle against
asphyxia, the result of which would, of
course, be a certain amount of suffer
ing. AS for Illuminating gas, 1t con-
tains slight proportion Of oxide Of
carbon, and this latter element pro-
duces asphyxia almost Immediately.
Therefore by means of such gas we
could obtain results that would be alb
solutely mathematical, and our con-
demned criminals could be put out of
the world after very brief struggle
against DEATH"
That there would be strong opposi-
ton to any change In the French law
regarding executions is certain
Among the bitterest opponents would
be the small storekeepers and others
who reside near the Place de la 10.
quette, and who earn goodly sum an
nually by renting their windows to per
sons anxious to see executions. More
over, the guillotine is, I'm sense, one OF
the national institutions in France. and
there are thousands of patriotic
Frenchmen who cannot be persuaded
that 1t is not the best death-deaiine
instrument In the world.
