PICKED UP IN The WATER
Longshoreman Found Struggl-
ing in the River at Three
O'Clock This Morning.

The tugboat, J. B. Sachs, was running
along the Jersey City shore shortly after
three o'clock this morning when the cap
tain was startled by a cry of sHelpi'
which came from the waters just ahead
of the boat. The Sachs was brought to
a sudden stop and the crew secured Ian
terms n ropes. The men peered into
the gloom and presently were rewarded
by seeing the man from whom the cries
for help came. He was frantically strug-
Cling to keep himself above water. He
was gradually losing his strength, being
nearly frozen by his immersion in the icy
water, and his cries were growing fainter
each moment
The tug was forced beside him and will
ing hands dragged him out Of the water.
He was in a pitiable condition, his whole
body being blue from the cold. 1t was
feared at first that his ley bath would
prove fatal to him, but the men worked
over him until he showed signs of reeov
eTing. After he had been rubbed down
and had been by the engine room for a
time. the poor fellow was able to tell
his name
He was Daniel Murphy, thirty-five years
old. OF No. IS Carmine street, New York.
He was employed as a 'longshoreman on
the Hudson street dock, and while at
work fell overheard. HIS clothes were
dried aboard tho Sachs ard when he
was fully recovered he was put ashore.

The press is a very fine press, and will

We note with amusement the change in
the tone of the Evening POST from adj
ulation to admonition of Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt. When that highly vir-
tuous gentleman was a candidate for the
G~overnorship of New York, on a plat
form of anything to beat the Demo-
Gratis" the post assured the voters
that they could rely on Teddy through
thick and thin. He was so ~virtuous that
he had not an ounce of gratitude or good
faith in his composition, and would urn
down ''Tom" Platt just as sticky as if
he was not under the slightest obliga-
tion to that worthy.
Now that he is elected, however. 'Ted
dy'' turns out to be not half so abomi-
nably good as his friends made out. He
recognizes that Tom Platt made him
what he is, and evidently he is going to
give the Devil his due, and the willy
Thomas his fair share of the cakes Nay.
we feel 1t in our bones that he will, in
due time, recognize his debt to Aldrich
for raising the campaign fund that elect
ed him, and after January /, those Grand
Jury proceedings, which have been so
farcically postponed to another term of
court and of the Governorship, will be
allowed to flicker out of practical poll
tics just as coolly as if the POST and
the rest Of the ~abominably good element
of New York's citizenship would not be
wounded in their softest and tenderest
spots by such awful tribute being paid
to the maxim of sHonor among thieves"
The Post, already reads the writing
on the wall. It knows by the set of
TIKI Teeth, that it is all up with morality
and reform. Therefore, it has laid in a
and has begun to convert its editorial
page into a blister. Yesterday, it reach
ed the "If, stage Of ~castigation. IF hev
fpoor Teddy yields to the machine" it
declares, the publican other words, the
Post and DR.. Parkhurst-wiIl be on to
his curves-of coufse, this is a vulgar
paraphrase-and they will lambaste him
in such fashion iii he will never re-
ceive an endorsement from the Citizens
Union or the Civil Service Reform
League again. 50 long as he lives.

AMUSEMENTS.


Mrs. Fishes new plays, which she will
present on Monday night at the. Academy,
are said to illustrate her striking and UNI
common versatility. "a Bit of Old Chel-
sea-" a little one-aet drama, which serves
as a curtain raiser tosthe longer and more
pretentious play of the evening, is from
the pen Of Mrs. Oscar Beringer, the Eng
fish adthoress. It tells the story Of a
London flower girl, one of those little
waits whose daily wanderings take
them anywhere from Covent Garden to
Chelsea. Mrs. Fishes study of this type
has delighted those best acquainted with
the street types Of the great British met
ropolis; while to those who know nothing
of London and ifs myriad of odd char
a~cters, the play appeals equally through
its quaint mingling of humor and senti-
ment. Mrs. Fiske's personality adapts
itself admirably to the part Of Alexandra

All dressed up in new scenic embellish-
ments, with beautiful and dainty cos
tunes. VANITY Fair, comes to The Bon
Ton next week. beginning Monday, with
new faces, unique novelties in profusion,
and with a splendidiy arranged pro-
gramme. The curtain raiser is suggestive
of the Ice Palace at Montreal. and is en-
titled, "a Winter Carnival giving OPP
portunity for lots of bright and pietur-
esque costumes as well as plenty of
wholesome comedy and action. During
the skit, Geo. Topack will introduce his
famous menage act Ca la Madame Dock
reid. The mysterious Indian box is a
clever novelty. Pauline Mayhew. the
champion female -bag-puncher,x will give
an exhibition of her skill. In the elio,
that clever singing soubrette, Ruth Ward.
will present her catchy laughing songs.
The great Sparrow, the comedy juggler,
will offer some new tricks, and Topaek
and Steel, the eccentric m-errynakers, Will
try their skill at exciting the risabil-
tiles of the audience, while Morrissy and
Rich follow with a most entertaining
sketch. Pauline Mayhem, next in lumber,
sings coon songs in a most fetching
manner, and the charming Darling Sis
tiers viii introduce their gingery singing
speciality. Last but not least Of the olio
will be a European novelty, THE lnter-
national Female Bicyclists'' in a hotiy
contested three-mile race. This takes
place in full view Of the audience, and is
the most novel piece of stage mechanism
ever presented to a public. The bur-
lesque, Creme de Menthe," which is
the finale Of this excellent programme OF
mirth and melody, is a satire on the army
and of other happenings of the day. One
of the striking features shown in It Is
1.-THE Mayors headed by Margie Tabeau,
the wizard of the baton. Taking it all
in all, VANITY Fair comes to US this
year in a most pleasing form and should
maintain its sterling reputation as a most
excellent entertainment.
