A FAMOUS BEAUTYs RESCUE.
Emily Marshall Escaped from Danger
Walking Over an Admirers Body.

Writing of THE Loveliest Woman In
all America" William Perrine, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, recalls the
thrilling adventure of Emily Marshall,
the famous Boston beauty, at Niagara
falls. She, with Nathaniel P. Willis
and young, ungainly college student.
Job Smith, attempted to go under the
falls, in those days perilous under
taking. After they had proceeded a
short distance under the sheet or
water there was a rumbling noise, and
a commotion, and a part of the ledge,
which formed the path, disappeared,
cutting Miss Marshall off from her
companions by an abyss six feet in
width, and leaving her but small
stone in the swirling torrents to stand
upon. In the commotion Job had been
forgotten, but instantly a ray of hope
shot into Williss heart when he saw
his rugged features, his sandy hair
plastered over his forehead, his scanty
dress clinging to his form like a skin,
and his hand trembling on the poets
shoulder as he steadied his steps.
w llhOul Saying what ne INTENDED 10 DO
he crept down carefully to the edge of
the foaming abyss till he stood up 10
his knees in the breaking bubbles. It
seemed impossible that he could reach
the lovely creature or that she could
jump forward safely from the slippery
rock into his arms. Willis covered his
eyes in fear and wonder The next
moment when he opened them there
lay at his feet the quivering and ex-
hausted girl. Job was nearly seven
feet high. He had flung. himself over
the gulf, caught the rock with his
fingers and with certain death if he
missed his hold. Miss Marshall had
quickly walked over his body in It's
bridge-iike posture. At this moment
the guide returned with the rope,
it around one Of Jobs feet
and dragged him back through the
whirlpool. When he recovered from
his immersion be fell on his knees in
prayer Of thanks to God, in which
he poet and the beauty devoutly :
oined him"

A GALLANT FIGHT
SUCH WAS THAT MADE BY CAPT.
SHIELDS AND MEN.
OVERWHELMED BY FOES
Romantic Chapter in Philippine War
Written by Brave American SOL
diers-Captives Treated Well While
:. Prisoners of nsurgents-Detais of
Rescue Coming In.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Mail advices
from Manila give in detail the story of
the rescue of Capt. Shields and fifty
men of the 18th infantry after their
capture by insurgents in Martinique.
The fight that Capt. Shields and his
party put up against overwhelming
odds is declared to have been enc of
the most brilliant incidents in the his
tory of bush fighting in the archipel-
ago. The fifty men in question were
pursuing a party of insurgents of SUI
perior force into the mountains when
they were ambushed in a box canyon
by force of $50 riflemen and 1900
bolomen. They made fight for eight
hours, killing large number of insur-
gents, and were overpowered only
after having fired their last shot, and
were smothered in d hand-to-hand
fight with their 1000 adversaries.
Sergeants Williams and Mccarthy,
who were in charge of some of the
wounded, came in for particular
praise. They cut off the rest of the
party during the retreat and in
trenched themselves on the hillside
where they stood off their assailants
for three hours, surrendering after
every cartridge had been exhausted.
Scarcely a man in the expedition es-
capped being grazed or slightly wound
ed during the fight.
The total list of the killed amounted
to only five. Capt. Shields was wound
ed early in the fight, but continued to
direct the operations of the rear guard
during the four miles of the retreat.
He finally was knocked out by bullet
through the jaw, neck and shoulder
which was thought at the time to be
fatal wound. The rescue party was
expected by General Hart, who some
months before, when only a colonel,
led the party which effected the res
cue of Lieut.. Gilmore and men from
the Yorktown, after their long months
of captivity in northern Luzon. Capt.
Shields and his men say that they
have no complaint to make of their
treatment during captivity Maxine
Abad was the insurgent in command,
and in response to Capt Shields
request allowed some of his men to
secure medicines and dressings for the
wounded soldiers. The release of the
party seems to have been due in some
part to the object lesson which Cen
eral Hare gave Lieut. Gilmore's cap
tors during the long persistent chase
through the almost impossible mount
aims of the northern district.

King James and the Bible.

S. Brainard Pratt, who had, short
time since, an exhibition of Bibles, has
had photographs taken of many of the
most important Bibles in his exhibit
tion. He is now having a set of about
so stereopticon slides of Bibles and
Bible manuscripts. 1t will be yin with
Jewish rolls and end with the I'M
finished Poylchrome. 1t will take in
the Bibles of Spudgeon, Moody,
Beecher, E. e. Hale, Philips Brooks
and many others.
Mr.. Pratt, who has made thorough
examination, says James | did not
originate the idea of the version which
bears his name. 1t was suggested by
DR.. John Rainolds, president of
Corpus Christi college, one of the
Puritans whom King James hated.
The king encouraged the work because
it ministered to his vanity on the one
hand, and his hate toward the Genevan
Bible on the other. There is no proof
that it was ever authorized" by Par
lament, privy council or king. 1t was
no more appointed to be read in the
churches" that his Book of sports"
which licensed all kinds of Sunday
games, from dancing to bear fights.
The King could spend 100000 year
in household expenses, but he was too
poor, and far too mean, to have King
James's version cost King James a
farthing. Bancroft says of him: Gle
ate and drank and dressed like boor."
Dickens: He was idle, drunken,
greedy, great swearer and the most
conceited man on earth" Sully's
testimony was: HE was the wisest
fool in Europe" Yet our English
Bibles are all, or nearly all, dedicated
to this same idle, drunken, dirty fool"
under the title of 'The most high and
mighty prince. James, by the grace of
God king of Great Britain" etc.-Bos-

Where Easter Lilies Come from

Few people who see the multitude
of lilies used in the adornment of
churches will realize what has been
the labor of bringing these lovely
flowers from the places where they
were gown, or even what care has
been necessary to force them into
bloom for this time of year. America
uses for all kinds Of decorations, but
especially for Easter, ten times as
many lilies or flowers as any other
country. A florist has been heard to
say that this is not an imported
fad," but an original one. The lilies
that are peculiarly Easter lilies are in
bloom in their native soil in Bermuda
at this time of year, and yet there, in
the land of flowers, an American
woman was astonished few years
ago to find that no flowers were
placed upon the affairs OF the churches
on Easter, although the worshipers
could look out through open doors
and windows to whole fields white
with lilies, and to hedgerows showing
a wealth of blossoms.
Many of the lilies used in the
United States have in former years
come from Bermuda, having been sent
as buds packed we'll in moss. When
put in warm water these buds will
quickly open, and thus quantities of
lilies are obtained with little trouble.
Flowers are grown from the bulbs.
