striving to escape. from the proximity
 of the perishing leviathan.l When it | appeared that all hands were crowded into the over hurdened boat, the watchful skipper mounted the lee rail,
 and waiting his opportunity leaped for his life.
 l Cast off, cast off" shouted a dozen
 voices, as the captain struggled aft to l the place of command. but one cry | overtopped them all, the frenzied question of Rorison, Where's Jack Stadey?" A babel of replies arose, but out of that tumalt one fact emerged ! he was not among them. The next mo- ment, as mountainous swell lifted the
 boat high above the ships rail, Rorison had leaped to his feet, and, catching hold of the dropping mainbrace above his head, was hauling himself back on
 board again. And the boat had gone. Doubtless in the confusion some man had succeeded in casting the end of the rope adrift that held her, not knowing what had happened, so that the next vast roller swept her away on it's crest, a hundred fathoms in an instant, the wide mouth of the dark engulfed her.
 All unheeding the disappearance of the boat, Rorison fought his way about the submerged and roaring decks, peer ing with a seaman's bat-like power of vision through the dark for any sign of his chum. Buffeted by the securing seas, conscious that he was fast losing what little strength remained to him, he yet persisted in his search, until, with cry of joy, he found poor Stadey

10, THE POOR RED MAN.

It appears that this great, glorious tirely oblivious to the wrongs of the red men. A pathetic tale of the expected eviction of the Mission Indians comes l from Southern California. Men, wo- men, and children, they number about two hundred, and are occupying little villages which they have held since the eighteenth century, and which they supposed they owned But recent de- cision of the United States Supreme court confirms a title conveyed in 1881 by Mexican grant, and the sheriff of the county gives notice to the authori- ties that he shall soon be obliged to eject the Indians. Even he feels the hardship so deeply that he has ap- pealed to the Interior department, and Commissioner Jones and Attorney General Knox have asked the lawyers for the adminstra tors of the grantee to delay ejectment until congress meets and makes some provision to keep these poor people from starving. These Indians are civilized, industrious, and sclf-supporting, understanding trade and agriculture and 1t is hoped that congress will find a way to protect them. The Pasadena, California, Star suggests that the government buy the land and allot it in severalty to the Indians. We have robbed the Indian systematically ever since Columbus discovered America" it says, ''and if an act of justice and restitution can people ought to rejoice over it."

damned between the fife-rail and the pumps, just alive, but with Q broken leg and arm. Not word passed be- tween them, but, with q sudden access sion of vigor, Sandy managed to drag his chum aft and lash his limp body to one of the poop hencoops. He then cast another coop adrift and secured 1t to the side of the first Having done this. he lashed himself by Stadey's side, and, with one hand feeling the languid pulsation of his chum's heart, awaited the next comber that should sweep their frail raft away into the hissing sea.
 Next morning, under Q sky of heay- enly glody, two Harwich fishermen found the tiny raft, still supporting the empty husks of those two faithful souls, undivided even unto the end of their hard life, and together entered into rest.
 With these two exceptions, all hands were saved.-Frank T. Bullen in the New York Evening Post.

NOT MUCH, BUT ENo oUGH.

There is disappointment in this coun- try because the Pennsylvania crew was beaten by Leander at Henley yester- day. To be sure, the beat wasn't a very big one, only length, but it will serve. Hope had been raised by the previous performances of the Pennsyl- vanians, but the experts have at no time given any encouragement to think the Pennsylvanians could win the cup. And the English experts unite in say ing that the American style of rowing isn't correct.

SLOW GR0JFIH IN FRINGE.

|
 Thoughtful Frenchmen are much ds | turbed by the slow increase in the pop | ulat of their beloved country. In- stead of showing a respectable increase ill population In the last five years the census returns show that the ratio of growth is still insignificant beside that of other thriving nations. In round numbers the increase is 330,000 making the total population 3S,600,000. Since 1850, allowing for alterations in boun- diaries, the total population of France has increased but 3,600,000, as compared with an increase in Great Britain of from 27OOO, 900 to Al, 100000, in Germany from 35,000,000 to 56,0O0000, in Austria from 3O,oco,ooO to 45,Ooo, 900, in Italy from 23.000000 to 32,00OO0O. and in Russia, partly owing to annexation, from 66,- GOO, 900 to 125O0O,0Oo.
 What is the matter with France? No- body really knows, but it Is evident that children are not wanted in that country as much as they are in some countries. It is said that even in the country districts the rule Is one or two children in family. It is also sad that the tendency among men is to de- mand higher dowries than ever, thus placing a great check on marriage. Moreover, the charge is made that than they should be. This charge is surprising in view of the general notion that French women are economical and business-like

NOT CRUEL OR UNNSN1L.

The Massachusetts Supreme court
 has just decided that electrocution is not 2 ''cruel or unusual punishment in the sense intended by the constitu- ton. One of the counsel spoke of the mental suffering of man condemned to the death chair. "The suffering" said Chief Justice Holmes, lis due not to its being more horrible to be struck by lightning than to be hanged with the chance of slowly strangling, but to the general fear of death. The suf- ferlng due to that fear the law does not seek to spare. It means that it shall be felt" He said further: When, as here, the means adopted are devised for the purpose of reaching the end proposed as swiftly and painlessly as possible, We are of the opinion that they are not forbidden by the consti- tuition, although they should be dis coveries of recent science, and never should have been heard of before. Not only is the prohibition addressed to what in proper sense may be called the punishment, but, further, the word "unusual' must be construed with the word ''cruel." and cannot be taken so broadly as to prohibit every humane not previously known in Ma sacnusetts,
 While this decision seems to imply that Massachusetts may not always be up to date it also seems to be well fII,pJp1

South Carolina objects to paying a federal tax as wholesale and retail liquor dealer, and 1t will test the mat ter. That, State deals with the liquor traffic through a dispensary system which brings the whole business under direct public ownership, control and profit. And the government at Wash ington requires the State to pay deal- CTS tax just as is required of other dealers who are individuals. The States contention is that the general govern me1t cannot constitutlonally tax the property of a State or the instrument talities by which its government Is car rfed on and its laws enforced.

O. H. Shuttleworth, of a Liverpool firm that imports American apples, is in the West looking over the apple crop.

The crop Is not materially injured now. have just come from a trip through -.Northern Arkansas and Southern Mis- souri, the land of the big red apple In only one year did England import g large amount of apples from that sec- tion. That was the crop of 1897, when our firm received S0,000 bushels. The western apple, such as the Ben Davis, is a good seller in England when there is a surplus for exporting The family eating apple with us, however, is the Albemarle pippin or the Newtown pip pin.

 The automobile craze in Paris contm- ues to farass the public officials and Is now regarded as a source of absolute danger. The reckless manner In which the machines are driven has caused an endless number of accidents, frequent ly resulting in death. Tn the Avenue de Villiers a few days ago an automo- bile was driven at full speed into q cafe The machine carried everything before it. Chairs, tables and various other things, including q glass screen, were completely demolished and several people seriously injured. Strange to relate, the author of the mischief es- caped unhurt. The president of the Automobile club has issued a special circular imploring the members to re- spect the police orders and to do all in their power to aid the special bicycle corps of police in the performance of their duties. This has been done for the purpose of calming the incsnsed public feeling, which is decidedly anti automobile just now.

A New Weanon.

Thomas J. Lovegrove of New Egypt,
for many years inspector of steam boilers
in Philadelphia, claims to have invented a
new Greek fire, and also the style of
gun requisite to throw it ten miles away.
He is endeavoring to negotiate with Ii
Hung Chang, through Minister WI Tin
Fang, at Washington, for a sale of rights
in his discovery.
Describing his invention, Mr.. Lovegrove
says: 1.-The cruel war in China and the
equally cruel war in South Africa inspired
the invention of a new American Greek
Fire Peacemaker, which will make the
horrors of war more horrible, and thus
make the blessings of peace more posi-
ble This peacemaker is mode of shoot
ing and squirting a liquid at tempera-
ture as high as 500 degrees. The liquid
can be shot one mile or ten miles and at
the terminal of the range it can be scat
tered one or two hundred feet by impact
and pneumatic pressure. 1t can also be
squirted 1870 degrees in radius of 1900
feet.
"The squirter can be made stationary
or on wheels, to be moved from point to
point, as is field artillery. Three of these
squirters will put hors de combat 10000
of charging column each minute. These
squirters are caloric- hydraulic, and have
not a particle of machinery to interfere
with the result of the operation. .
Mr. Lovegrove at various times has been
the inventor of numerous attachments to
steam engines, and also in the line Of i'm
proved gunnery.

Damage Suit.

After the wreck of the Nellie Bly, ex
press and the Bordentown local train, the
appalling number of victims gave rise
generally to the belief that considerable
litigation would follow for the collection
of damages by friends and relatives.
The fact is, however, that only one suit
has been brought. This is the case of j.
Walter Male, the young real estate dealer,
who was killed Several conferences were
held by Frank Shinn, the administrator of
Males estate and the Pennsylvania rail
road officials looking to settlement, but
none was reached. The administrator in
his suit demands sec, 1000. It is reported
that the company did not make any offer
of an amount on which they would settle
this case. The amount demanded was as
certained, and on it being declared as ex-
cessive by the railroad officials. it was de-
termined that the amount should be fixed
by jury in court.
The case will be tried at the next term
of the Mercer circuit.
1t has been learned that cash settlements
have been made in six cases where there
were deaths. A New York city Italian
lawyer some time ago instituted several
suits to collect damages for the deaths OF
some of the Italians who lost their lives
in the wreck, but for some unexplained
reasons these cases, it is said, have been
abandoned, though the superstition is that
the railroad company settled them
direct with the friends or relatives of the
victims

Sporting Items.

Perkins and Tom Campbell are wanted
by league clubs, but both think it too late
in the season to leave their present happy
homes.
Perkins swatted the ball in triphammer
STYLE for Norristown against Brandywine
Thursday afternoon. He made home
run with a man on base, single and three
put outs in center.
The Water streets and the shoe cutters
had lively game of base ball on Satur-
day afternoon on the lot opposite Grant
street station. The jewellers in that
neighborhood did not protest, but sat on
their porches and enjoyed the game.
O'Rourkes Crescents were scheduled to
play base ball at Burlington on Saturday,
but they got sidetracked and went to Had
donfield An aggregation called Merton
A. A., attempted to fill the gap, but they
were absolutely worthless.
The patrons of base ball did consider
able growing at Burlington, Saturday, al
the miserable article of the game that was
furnished. But Atkinson has given good
games, with one or two exceptions. II
there is any growing to be done he
seems to be the party to do it. He
does not receive much encouragement IN
the matter of attendance.
