From Australia TO Island
Steamer.

A drowning took place near tha
Oceanic wharf at AS this morning.
1t was a miracle that two lives were
not lost in the casualty.
Joseph Sylvia and Isabel Perry fell in
TO The water while attempting to cross
over from the steamer Australia which
is anchored at the Oceanic dock to the
Island steamer Helene, which is lying
alongside of the big Coast steamer
The woman missed her footing and
fell into the water between the vessels,
pulling her companion down with her.
Onl the woman's cries for help
were heard by night watchman Nc
Creeken, of the Australia, and John,
who is night captain of the Custom
watch Both were at the side of the
Australia within minute or two after
the couple fell. BY lowering rope
they were able to rescue the woman.
Sylvia went to the bottom. The waters
refused to surrender his body up TO
2:30 o'clock this morning.
Miss Perry told her story to the Ad-
vertiser very shortly after her rescue.

HAWAIIAN BILL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
House Committee on Territories
reached a final agreement this
afternoon to make a favorable
report on the Hawaiian bill. The
agreement to report was unan-
imOuS, although the Democrats
of the committee reserved the
right to make a minority report
opposing several features of the
bill. The drafting of the ma
jOrity report was left to Chair
man Knox, who will take sew
eral days before presenting the
bill and report.
AS agreed to the bill is in all
essential features the bill sub
mitted by the Hawaiian Com
mission, although changed to
conform to changes already
made by the Senate committee,
and also as a result of the dis
cuSSionS before the committee,
covering more than month.
Most of the Senate amendments
are agreed to, the purpose being
to have the legislation in both
houses CONFORM as Tar as pos
sible. In addition to these, sec
ton % of the committee bill is
struck out. 1t provided punish
ment Of persons guilty Of dis
respect or offense against the
legislative bodies OF Hawaii.
Another change, not made by
the Senate, is the striking out of
section rs. for an investigation
OF the land laws of Hawaii. The
qualifications of electors, Rep
resentatives and Senators, which
have been subject to much dis
cussiOn, are arranged so that no
limitations are placed on admis-
sion to the House, while the
qualifications of Senators and
electors of Senators are $1,000 Of
property or $500 income.
The minority report will be
directed mainly against the
principle Of a property Qualifi-
cation and against life tenures
for the judiciary.

THE NEW LONDON COURSE.
Ellis Ward Says 1t Can Not Be Made
Fair for More Than Two Crews.

Coach Ellis Ward of the University of
Pennsylvania was much amused over the
story sent out from Cambridge to the eff
feet that efforts would be made to have
Cornell Columbia, Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania row on the Thames, at New
London, and that the New London Board
of Trade would alter the course so as to
make it suitable for four-crew race.
The Thames. course could not be made
available for four crews" said Coach
Ward, unless it was dredged and the
banks cut away for four miles, and that
would cost million dollars.
me only way in which four crews
could row at all now would be up stream
at flood tide and the boats would have to
pc started just at the minute the tide was
full flood The slightest delay would put
the outside crews at a disadvantage, as
the tide begins to ebb quicker along the
shores. -.
Even should the Fights get away on

the shore before the finish was reached.

more than two crews, and cannot be made

We Know the Great Value of

A hacking cough does not always seem
serious, vet it is a most grave symptom.

of the throat and lungs. 1t nicely makes
everything ready for the germs of con-
sumption.
If you have consumptive tendencies
care should be taken. Fortify your sys-

troubled with a cough
We are sure nothing will do this for Won
better than Vinol. Vinol, unlike other
cod liver oil preparations, does not up-
set the stomach and does taste delicious.
Il. H. Baxter of 81 Green street, Charles
town, says: 81 had a terrible cough and

Nlnol, wine of cod liver oil. 1t is posi-
lively wonderful. Its taste is delicious.
1t did not upset my stomach, and has

STRAIN INDUCED PLeURlsY.
Jack Quinn Brought Home From Exeter in
Serious Condition.

J. J. Quinn, Jr., a well-known young
Quinn of this city, has been compelled
to return to his home from Phillips
Exeter academy, where he is a student,
as the result of injuries received a
week age today in the gymnasium.
Quinn was last years coxswain of
the high school crew, and was very
popular i'll athletic circles at the high
school, where he had a very enviable
reputation as an all-round athlete, and
especially in the line of aquatics.
While practicing gymnastic exercises
in the Exeter gymnasium, last Satur-
day, he sustained severe strain from
which he suffered considerable pain
The next day the injury became so
painful that he was removed to the
hospital there, and was treated by a
local physician The case developed
into q severe attack of pleurisy which
settled IN the region of the heart, and
seemed to threaten serious conse-
quences. At the advice of the attend
ing physician, young Quinn's father
was telegraphed for last Wednesday
morning, and he Immediately proceeded
to Exeter and brought his son home
with him in the afternoon, arriving in
Worcester during the evening. Since
his return home, Quinn has been at
tended by the family physician. who
also diagnoses his case as pleurisy in
duced by the strain.
1t was reported last night on the
ST. Get, that young Quinn was in a Sc
rious condition. but inquiry at his home
re called the fact that he was resting
quietly. and that no evil results are
ANTICIPATED, if he exercises proper care
against over-exertion, for the present
'Tusl now it is impossible to tell how
seon Mr.. Quinn will be able to return

cident happened. He will In all prob

The bust was the gift of E. A Good
now, and at me conclusion of the ora
ton of Senator Roe the latter read
the letter of gift from the donor. The
hall of the high school was filled to
overlooking with the scholars and tea
cheers of the schools, and with
large numbers of invited guests, in
Guiding many of the most prominent
citizens of Worcester, who desired to
SHOW their respect for the character
and deeds of the brave young soldier.
The hall was handsomely decorated for
the occasion with the national colors,
and with ferns and potted plants in
profusion.
Among those who were senated on
the platform during the exercises were
the following: Mayor Dodge Senator
Roe, DR.. John T. Duggan, Principal Ho
mer p. Lewis, Rev. Austin S. Carver,
Superintendent Carroll, John ]. Heron,
Mrs Lincoln, John E. Gallagher, Edgar
Thompson, principal of the Ledge
street school: E. NJ. Barton of the An

Quoted the exercises of the day After
few Introductory remarks from him,
the school, led by Director Seth Rich
ards, sang ITO Thee, o Country" in
highly effective manner, and then
Mayor Dodge was introduced as the
first speaker of the day
The remarks OF Mayor Dodge We're
in part as follows: 1T is indeed prop
er that on an occasion of this nature
the city of Worcester should be
represented by its executive. This is
an occasion Of much civic Importance,
and 1t is fitting that a man like him in
whose memory these exercises are held
should demand and receive recognition
from the municipality.
The eloquent tribute paid to the
honored dead by Senator Hoar, leaves,
! fear, little for me to say but still l
am glad even in a humble way to meet
the youth of the city of Worcester here
today and to attempt to turn their
thoughts TO the contemplation of a life
so noble and a death so heroic.
There has always been, in the history
of the world, an interest Of the com
munity that overreaches the interests
of the home and family. Beyond all
belief 1t is the sacrifices that friend
will make for friend and the burdens
that parents and children will bear for
each other. 1t seems that these bonds
of kinship and of the family must be
the strongest that exist in this life, vet
again and again do we see these blood
knit ties cast aside and broken at the
behest of the higher and stronger duty
due to country and to flag.
! heartily believe that had the young
man whom we are assembled here to-
day to honor, been able to see ahead
and to read of the dim page Of the
future the fact that death awaited him
on that bloody day when he fell in the
performance of his duty. he
would not for a moment have faltered
nor entertained one thought of turning
back from the destined course
1t was my good fortune to know
him. and to have talked with him
about his career: and when he decided
wpon the branch of service he should
enter he fully appreciated, like every
brave man, what the future might
have in store for him. But there wa.
not in his heart any faltering in his
duty to his country and flag. Ever
