HEROIC RESCUE.
OF Drowning Man After q Hard
Struggle.

Struggle.
Chicago Record: With 1000 persons
cheering him on, Surfman William II.
Bachelor of the Jackson Park life
saving crew plunged into the lake,
swan out to a drowning man and
brought his safely to shore. Once the
swimmer went down. When he came
up Bachelor had thrown aside his
shoes and blouse, and. with a cheering
I'm coming" sprung into the water.
He was a strong swimmer, and soon
reached the side of the struggling man.
He told him to turn over on his back.
At first he refused to comply, then
Bachelor spoke more sharply than be-
fore. and the man Obeyed. Bachelor
dove under him. and when he came up
had the man on his back and was hold
ing him with one hand. With the 9TH
er he began to work his way shore
ward. Every stroke was cheered by
the crowd on shore. Five minutes and
Bachelor had reached a point where
he could touch bottom. Then began
struggle TO keep the man from being
killed by being dashed against the lake
bottom when a big wave would strike
and crush them down. Three minutes
of hard fighting and Bachelor reached
the stone sea wall, where willing
hands assisted him to draw the almost
drowned man to shore. When both
were safely landed a cheer went up
from the 1000 Threats that echoed and
re-echoed far back into the park The
rescued man was William Johnson.

caught and frozen in. There they re-
NAMED all winter, until July "a, 1898.
After several days drifting, they man
aged to free themselves, and were
again caught in the ice pack, and for
over two weeks drifted in mid-Ocean.
They again freed thmselves and on
Aug. s managed to get in shore to
Franklin'S return reef, where DR..
Franklin was lost in 1852. The ship
on which Mr.. Fee was sailing was in a
sinking condition and unseaworthy, SO
all the cargo was transferred from the
stern and the vessel laid up for sew
eral days for repairs. On Aug. 16 they
again put to sea and succeeded in
working their way through the float
ing ice. At length the passage back
through the Boring sea was made, and
Mr.. Fee found himself safe again in
America on Oct. Is, 1898, less than a
year ago.

Orca, one of the finest vessels on the
Pacific coast. was crushed by the ice

Eight of the eighty-two members of
the crew were lost. The Jesse III. Free
man was caught in the ice and TANNED,
and afterwards fired. that she might
not prove a menace to navigation.
Part of the crew took to the ice, which
afterwards drifted into mid-ocean,
which was the last seen or heard Of
them. The steamship Navarch was
also lost. and two of her crew per-
ished. The steamer Ward ID. Hume
now lies at Herschell island, unfit for
service. Only one-third of her crew
remain. the remainder having been lost
or frozen to death. These casualties
will give some idea Of the dangerous
experience The privations which part
of the men suffered can better be i'm
agined than described. From their al
ready scant store of provisions it was
necessary to take largely to exchange

A STRONG BABY.

Regimen which One Infant Is Max
ing Astonishing Growth.
There is a doctor in West Philadel
phia who has a son one year old, and
this baby is probably the strongest hu
man being for its age and weight in
the world. Its father will hold cane
in his two hands, and the baby, grasp
ing it, will draw itself up to its chin
three times That is but one of it's nu-
merous feats of strength. The physi
clan says that his boys unusual mus
cular development is due to a daily
massage treatment Every morning he
lays the little fellow, naked, on
blanket, and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes. Once month he
weighs the baby and measures its
calves, chest, arms, etc. The monthly
increase of veight and girth are re-
markable. The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or a hat
on its head, and in the summer it wears
only little sleeveless dress that comes
to its knees. 1t gets cold bath every
morning. IF nothing goes wrong"
the physician often declares, this
child will be one of the strongest men
the world has ever seen. He will never
get bald and he will never lose
tooth. AS for his muscles, with mas
sage and course of exercise that
have laid out, they will be big and
supple all over his body All his flesh
will be, when tense, hard as steel, and
when relaxed as soft as the flesh of
young girl"

been denied, but many, nevertheless,

Prince Louis was educated for service

THE PRESS THE THING.
World Famous Preacher Sees the Idea.
Newspaper Coming.

Newspaper Coming.
Here is an inspiration for a right am
bition, If l were not a minister,
would choose to be a journalist. For
surely no prospect for life work ever
opened up so vivid a picture Of oppor-
tunity. There is an alluring fascina-
ton at the thought of the originality,
the resourcefulness, the influence that
may be found in a paper or magazine
that has for its motto, For a Better
World" and for its purpose everything
holy What magnificent opportunity
to mark out ones own plan and devel-
op his own campaign. What endless
possibilities to shape public feeling and
mold private character, Oh, yes, l
know the old pessimistic cry OF ITO
plan! and visionary, and impractical!
1t is not the first time l have heard
practical newspaper men say a paper
cannot be run on strictly Christian
principles without going bankrupt in
thirty days. Nevertheless, oh, We flu
ture journalists, what splendid oppor-
tunity is offered you to try running
your paper or magazine on new prin-
ciples as old as God, but applied in
new places.
What we do in the world is not
worth doing, unless it is done to the
glory of God We have been created
with different powers, and are called
to do different things. But if each one
Of us in his own calling works out the
will Of him who made us, the result
shall be one result. The world is al
ways ready to test what we do by its
standard Of Success" But eternity
will test what we do by the standard Of
the cross"

Prof. Nordenskjo,d, the famous Arc

of his fortune. He was on intimate
terms with the heads of the great
Stockholm publishing firm of Messrs.
F. & G. Bajer, which has failed. with
liabilities stated at $1,250,0O0. Unfor-
tunately, Nordenskjold is deeply in
volved in the speculations carried on
by the firm. Some time since he had to
sell the whole of his valuable geo.
graphical library, and now it is stated
tina. all his life's savings, amounting
to $500. 900, have gone in the crash.

Pennsylvanian's Claim For Damages.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. Edward
GOttfried consular agent for the Uni
ted States in the district of Trujido,
Peru, who has filed a claim for $780,
600 damages against the Peruvian gov
ernment through the state department
at Washington, is a native of Wilkes
barre. He went to Peru 20 years ago
and entered business. He became
wealthy. During the rebellion of 1898
the rebels attacked his property, and
when he endeavored to defend it he
was taken to the public square of the
town, strung up by the thumbs and
otherwise maltreated. He still suffers
from his injuries. The Peruvian gov
ernment has set up the plea that
GOttfried's claim is not valid one, as
foreigners were on the same footing
as natives during the rebellion.
