OVERCOME BY COAL GAS.
Narrow Escape of Mrs. seweH and
Two Sons.


Mrs. Julia Sewell and her two sons,
Montague and Thomas Sewel, aged
respectively thirteen and ten years,
had narrow escape from asphyxiation by
inhaling coal gas while in bed at their
home, 440 o street northwest, about 1880
o clock last night. Had ii not been for the
timely awakening of Mrs. Sewell, who
managed TO summon aid to herself and
children, the entire family would have soon
been beyond medical aid. AS ii was they
were all severely affected and it required
the efforts of several policemen and
physician 10 bring them out of danger.
The coal gas escaped from a latrobe in
a room beneath the-bedroom. and found
its way to the upper apartment through
the register connected with the stove. Mrs.
Sewell and the boys retired early after see
ing that the fire had sufficient fuel for the
night. The escape of gas began shortly
after they had had fallen asleep. Mrs. Sew
ell was aroused by choking sensation
caused by inhaling the noxous fumes She
was in dazed and muddled condition, but
had presence of mind enough to open the
windows TO admit fresh air. She also cried
for help.
Her cries attracted the attention of
passersby. They could not grasp the mean
ing OF the almost exhausted woman, and,
seeing the windows open, imagined the
house was under quarantine because of
smallpox. One man, however, realized that
there was something seriously wrong in
the house and hastened at once to the
Fourth precinct police station, where he
made known his suspicious 10 Station
keeper Hutton, who sent Sergeant Jordan
and Policemen Fathers and Van Horn to
Investigate.
When they arrived at the Street house
they found Policemen Stroman and Bryan
working on the unconscious children. The
first named policemen directed their at
tention TO Mrs. Sewell and summoned DR..
T. II. Allen, of No. 402 NJ Street, who re-
sponded at once.
1t was at first thought advisable to send
the unfortunate trio 10 a hospital, but as
all OF the patients began TO show rapid
Improvement under the care of Dr. Allen
and the efforts of the policemen more
restoratives were applied and in a short
time the sufferers were out OF danger. DR..
Allen was of the opinion that there would
be no serious results TO his patients be-
cause of their experience. but stated that
they had very narrow escape.

Concert by Blind Girls.

The concert and lecture by the
graduate blind ladies Of Perkins In.
stitute, South Boston, in Pythian
Hall last Thursday evening was a
grand success. Miss Duggan, the
lecturer, gave a very interesting talk
on the ways and means of educating
blind people and was listened to
throughout with the closest atten-
ton. The musical part of the enter.
tainment was much enjoyed. Miss
Florence Welfoot, Miss Duggan and
Miss Melody gave several musical
numbers which convinced the
audience of their skill as musicians.
Mrs. Anna Spencer Frost gave
several selections and upheld
her reputation as a strong and ac-
complished reader. The proceeds
netted about S35 and were for the
benefit of the building fund of St.
Alovsius church.

WOman's Club Meeting.

The capacity of Pythian Hall was
taxed to its utmost at the meeting
of the Woman's Club on Monday
afternoon. The thought OF the
meeting centered on our educational
interests; and, as is customary on
such occasions, the teachers OF the
Academy and town schools were the
guests of the Club. Invitation was
extended to the school board also.
The regular business meeting occu-
pied but a few minutes of the hour.
The first paper, written and pre-
sented by Miss Caroline S. Woodruff,
was on Recent Methods in Educa-
ton" Miss Woodruff gave a resume
Of the changes which have taken
place since she became a teacher in
our public schools, laying special
stress upon the improved methods
Of teaching reading, the practical
application of the principles of arith-
metic, and the more intelligent inter
probation of geography. The paper,
for which the Current Events Com
mittee arranged, proved conclusively
that we are not standing still in our
school work.
Mrs. Emily B. Moves, chairman Of
the Education Committee. intro.
duced Miss Sarah L. Arnold of Bos-
ton, who spoke for an hour upon the
subject, "The Relation between
Mother and Teacher" Miss Arnold
wasfu OF her theme and the thoughts
which she expressed with so much
grace and charm were an inspiration
to parent and teacher alike; an in
splration to everybody indeed, for she
showed very clearly that all must be
interested in "other peoples child
rem" since all are so dependent for
their well-being upon artisans and
professional men of every sort.
All remained for a hand shake with
Miss Arnold and other guests. The
social committee, to whom the Club
is much indebted this year, refreshed
the company with a delicious fruit
beverage.

SHERMAN ON OHIO POLITICS.

Both sides in Ohio are quoting John
Sherman, but the Democrats have the
utterance bearing the latest date and
in this the venerable Ohioan says: Il
should hate to see President Mckinley
defeated because of his foreign policy
but, nevertheless, fear that he will
be. 1t cannot b sustained in morals
and is in contravention to the Ameri-
can Declaration of Independence and
the teaching of the brave men who
signed that instrument"
OF Judge Nash Mr. Sherman says:
''He is a good fellow, but he is weigh
ed down with Hanna" And then the
aged Ohioan wonders why Hanna puts
his nose into everything?"
Others wonder at this, too. The eX-
PLANTATION, however, is plain. Hanna,
like many other very shrewd but sell
fish men, is not shrewd enough to see
himself as others see him. Hanna
thinks Hanna is all right, which is
Hanna's greatest stumbling block, and
in his frantic efforts to save the admin
istration by taking his own obnoxious
personality into the fight, he is simply
Fastening it on to defeat.
John Sherman's view of United
States Senator's place in such situa-
ton is the proper one. Hanna would
benefit the administration and his
party in State and nation best by hold
ing aloof.which he will never do, how
ever, for it is impossible for Hanna
to get a correct view of himself.
