A THRILLING RESCUE.

With hundreds cheering him as h lay back Imply in the hanson whcs= runaway horse he had just captured Policeman Richard O'Connor of the bi- cycle squad rode back up Eighth ave nue. at noon yesterday to find the own- CT. O'Connor is an honor man on the force. having received medal last year for conspicuous bravery in stop ping runaway team. This time he made d wonderful stop. The horse was just about to be unhtched at the s.a- bles of it's owner when he tore away without a bridle and began his career down Eighth avenue. Several at tempts to stop him before he got well under headway were useless. as he had nothing by which he could b9 held. O'Connor was standing some distance from his wheel along the sidewalk of the avenue.
 The street was thronged with church Goers, and the scattering of these be- fore the plunging beast first caught the officers eye. With a running leap he was mounted and under way by the time the horse and cab had reached ThiYty-ninth street. At Thirty eighth street he was close enough for his pur- pose He saw there was no chance but to cling around the horses collar. and. watching his chance. he deftly flung himself from his spinning wheel to the horses shoulders. The wheel went to the gutter
 His hold slipped. and a cry of dis nay went up from a host of throats as they saw him dragged along clinging ten aciously to the collar strap. With d supreme effort he pulled himself up. holding by the ear and mane. to a point where the thilI would support him and would not plough into his side The crowd Was thrilled with admiration of his herOism.
 His weight was telling on the horse. and at Thirty-fifth street brother ofi- cers and bystanders succeeded in fin ishing the brave young officers work. The horse was taken back to the stable but O'Connor was helped from the han som and placed in an ambulance. He was badly bruised. There Were many narrow escapes of women and children in the crowds through which the horse dashed. MT. Quinn has announced his intention of heading fund for some suitable reward to O'Conuor.-New York World

A wOMAN's PREDICTION.
Tae Woman Who Died at the Time SAe
 u@G Set for That EveLt,

The stortling fulfillment of the p"-- dictiDn e. Mrs. Elizabeth Hc~---na1 of MisAaWa,.a. Ind. n-C1e last July, when she was apparently in the best of health. that she would die on August l5 has set the press once more to dis cuss.ng the probability of premonitioA cf death. Mrs Horstman. who was re lated by marriage to Bishop Horstman of Cleveland. is said to have been a person of great piety. It is not known that she was of melancholy or sup erstitious disposition. Neither is any thing known as to the motive that prompted her to make the gloomy pre- G.ction It is known. positively. how ever. that she made it, and that 1t was fulfilled to the letter.
 There are of course, numerous inter pretat tions of this event. One of the commonest is that founded on the ia ta.ist theory Her day had teen ap- pointed. and she was informed of the time by some occult or supernatural agency. The spiritualist view, in its broadest sense. is hardly less common. She was advised by some departed ar and dear one as to the time when she
 
 which is advanced by the Pittsburg Dispatch: Her death is clearly an eX- ample of the remarkable power which the mind exercises over matter.
 It Is known that fatal results fol lowed the experiment of making man believe that he had been lanced and was slowly bleeding to dsath. The story of the practical joke paved by a lot of young French medical students on the janitor of their college is famil- far They accused him of some ficti- tious offense gave him q mock trial and sentenced him to death by Gecap- itation. He was led to a block. Be side it was an aX. His upper body was ba ad and his eyes were bandaged. His head was forced down to the block. On5 of the students smote him across the neck with a wet towel and-he wa: dead. IL is held that it was not the i'll usage or the shock that killed him but his firm conviction that his time had come.
 There are many cases recorded ir which people have predicted the time of their deaths. Then there is the cas. where a man predicted the very houl at which he would give up the ghost. A few minutes before the hour struck hC was told that he had been deceived; that the clock had been set back three hours. and that the appointed time Was long past He at once recovered. anC remained in good health for many years.

HELP FOR LORD HOPE AT LAST
Duchess of Newcastle Will Rent His Famous Blue Diamond for Life.

London-Since the return of Lord and Lady Francis Hope to this coun- try negotiations have been opened be- tween Lord Francis and his brother. the Duke of Newcastle. with regard to the famous Hope diamond. the most valu- able blue diamond in the world, which is virtually priceless. but for which $1OOO.OOO is said to have been offereI when Lord Francis made his unsuc- cessful appeal to the English courts for permission to sell it.
 The diamond was beque athed to Lord Francis Hope along with the estate of Deepdene and d big fortune by his grandmother, old Mrs. A. Hope. who however. stipulated in her will that if he died without issue the stone should go to her elder grandson. the Duke If Newcastle
 Lord Francis. who has been bank rupted hot once but several times, is now so completely ruined that his wife is obliged to return 10 the stage. on which she formerly won fame as May Iohe. Although some times in need of a sovereign. he has this diamond worth a fortune in his poss ssiOn. H. cannot sell il. He cannot take it out of the United Kingdom. He cannot even pledge it. since his ownership is merely a life interest.
 The Duchess of Newcastle. on tn" other hand. whose passion for Jewels is only equaled by that for fine dogs she carries off prizes at all shows with her magnificent Russian BorZoI hounds is exceedingly anxious to have the blue diamond to wear. So, to please her. the duke has applied to his brJ ,hCr- er to know if in return for an annuity he would consent to confide the gem to him for life.
 Lord Francis. whn at length sees a means of using the stone to sons iinan- cial advantage. has responded in d ia vorabIe sense and the duchess is to have the diamond.
 If Lord Francis. who is chidless, should die before his brother, the duke, the stone would become the latter's

After being in the hands of lawless
mobs for several hours. with the police
apparently powerless to maintain or
der, New Orleans at daybreak again
assumed a peaceful aspect. The mob
apparently had spent it's fury when one
man had been killed, three fatally and
fourteen seriously wounded.
So read the record yesterday. The New
Orleans Boxers are as full of heathen-
ish race prejudice as the Chinese Box
ers are. We read: "a notorious charac-
ter took the lead, and the rioters head
ed for Ere kiln and Custom House
streets. They found no negroes there,
and We're going down Villere street, to-
wards some negro novels, when they saw
a negro in a crowded Villere street car
They halted the car, pulled the trolley
off, ordered about twenty passengers
out, and then murdered the negro. The
man was dragged out and shot several
times, being instantly killed" This
wasn't in Tientsin, China. 1t was in
New Orleans, United States of America.
After peace is fully restored in China
and New Orleans let us send missions
aries to both places.
