NEWS OF THE WORLD.

If anything had been lacking to
make perfect metropolitan newspaper
of the ST.. PAUL DISPATCH, the want
was entirely filed when il completed
arrangements for the special foreign
cable service which is now Frightening
its columns. 1t is really astonishing
how the recent war with Spain has
developed the American thirst for the
news of the world. 1t placed America
In q new position with regard to the
rest Of the earth and gave new i'm
portance to the events of the world at
large. If the movements of foreign
powers were once of interest, they be-
came dOl,blv so when America rose
into place as world power. The ST.
Paul Dispatch recognized this when i
secured this cable service, with its
news from first hands. No longer il
London the sole source of all European
news, and no longer is the news of the
world filtered through British chan.

1t comes to the Dispatch straight from
each European center and without
bias or perjudice This will be graft
flying to all intelligent people of the
Northwest, particularly so to that
large fOreign-born element which de-
lights in information direct from the
fatherland. The Dispatch has secured
resident correspondent In every large
city on earth, who uses both cable and
mail in sending in every news event of
interest and all public gossip that is
dear to the heart of the newspaper
reader. In the past SIX years the Dis
patch has made great strides to the

Narrow Escape From Death.

The six-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. J. Rosenthal, of West DEBORAH,
had narrow escape from death on
Sunday evening. She went over to
Mrs. Daubney's, to carry some milk to
her, and when she came out of the
house fell into an open cistern, out of
which Harry Hislop had been drawing
water. Phe latter, on seeing her, ran
over to Will Pollitt's and got a ladder,
which was lowered into the cistern
and Mr.. Pollitt quickly rescued her.
The water was about four feet deep, but
fortunately her clothes kept her head
above water. When recovered she was
nearly drowned, but prompt action re-
vived her 1t was indeed a narrow
escape.
