Of some Of the skin on the back Of his
neck as well, and exerting all my
strength, forced his head under the
water and held it there. He struggled
so frantically that I was afraid I
should never be able to hold him;
but gradually his struggles became
weaker, and knew he was drowning.
II was not going to run any moro
risks. SO I held on until was quite
sure he must be dead, as he made no
movement. Then I let 60 and strug-

"The next thing I can remember
was hearing a distant 'coo-ee.' which
must have brought me to my senses.
I heard it again, and sat up to look
round. 1t was nearly dark, and I felt
very cold and shivery, and wondered
whatever I was doing out there at
that time. Then I heard the 'coo-ee'
again, and knew it must be you come
to look for me. I remembered my
dog whistle, and blew it as loudly as
I could. Well, then you came, and
was all right; but did have q most

The dog cart was waiting for me at
the station, and as drove up to the
house about seven o'clock, l fully ex-
pected to be met by my wife. To my
surprise, she was not to be seen; and
when asked where she was, the serv-
ants could only say that she had gone
out with the dog for walk after tea
and had not yet returned; but as
dinner was ordered for eight o'clock,
she would probably be back soon.
She had gone down the hill towards
the canal.
I thought I would stroll down there
to meet her; so, taking the shortest
path, started off, expecting every
moment to- see her coming back.
However, I did not meet her, and, as
It was now getting dusk, I began to

On the other hand some rigorous discipline,

scANDALOUS PROMOTIONS.

If Commissioner Murphy were doing some
thing he himself was not ashamed OF IN MS
wholesale promotions of patrolmeh 10 pe oe.e'
tive sergeants he would not hide his acts uluer
blanket. He says these promotions are ai
made solely for merit but instead OF making
announcement of these excellent men whose
worl, he delights to honor he keeps the names
10 himself as long as possible, ana the pupiic
only knows who the servants are whom IL ought
to be proud of when the newspaper reporters
can nick I'D the information by chance some
days after the promotions. Then as likely as
not It is found that the men advanced above
old detectives for their alleged superiority IN
detective work are favored wardmen who were
mt in the detective bureau only two or three
days before being made detective sergeants.
These detective sergeant promotions 0f1er q
convenient way of lodging competitive e1aml-
nations on the road from patrolman to sergeant.
Therefore it needs no especially well developed
detective instinct TO guess why commissioner
Murphy is discovering so many deserving cases.
The old Police Board, under the presidency OF
Barney York. succeeded in making lot OF
politicaI promotions, but the subsequent ACTON
of the State Civil Service Commission In pro-
nouncing the process illegal, while it did not
undo what had been wrongfully done, dld make
fmpossible a repetition of the same procedure.
a convenient JOKER JStiIIiiicu lhtp thS
charter last winter gives the wished for oppOr-
tupity TO put the useful wardmen in good places
before Tammany goes out of office. The Com
missioner has power to make detective ser
geants at will. and he is now exercising IL
freely. These detective sergeants on January
will by the Joker be made TO rank as full
serreants along with those who have passed
Civil Service examnati tons after long service in
the police ranks
Rumor has it that the men so signally favored
with stormproof berths and advanced salaries
in the hour of Tammany defeat are having to
pay heavily. Commissioner Murphy expresses
| surprise and doubt but that means nothing.
| Commissioner Murphy doubts everything that
| it is not convenient for Devery and the black
maers to have him believe. 1t may well be
that men who have a hand on the machinery of
| promotion are using ii for all it is worth IN
these last days of power and making Mr.
| Murphy's favortes divide the fruits of their
good fortune. Whether they are or not, GER
tainly the activity of Mr. Murphy in swelling
| the list of detective sergeants from sixty last
| February 10 one hundred and six now, when he
| knows that his action means burdenng the city

sarily large body of regular sergeants with high
nav and permanent tenure is nothing short of

WHY THEY ARE DTSLIhED.

Transportation managers in this city indulge
from time to time in expressions of genuine or
we'll feigned surprise and grief at the general
failure TO give them credit for their labors in
the public interest They would have it appear
that they regard this as piece of injustice,
that they think they ought to be regularly
praised instead of frequently censured, and are
deserving of large measure of popularity.
They point TO the improvements which they
hasten to introduce at great expense; to the
uuickened service, the large and handsome cars
they run, the electric lighting, the new routes
they omen at A loss and the liberal transfer sys-
tem Now, there is some warrant for these en-
comiums. The transportation companies have
undoubtedly done more for their patrons in re-
cent years than they used to do That one of
them i'm particular which has absorbed most of
the business has evinced somewhat notable
understanding of the fact that solicitude to ac-
commodate the public is profitable, and for such
enlightened self-interest the Metropolitan man.
ayers are not TO be sneered at, but commended
How. then has it come about that the public
attitude calls for lamentations their part
that their company is in fact unpopular? Well
in our opinion one valid explanation is found in
their selfish adoption and crafty furtherance of
such schemes as that which we recently COM
mented. for the appropriation to their uses OF
the great Central Bridge and Tiaduct, on which
they mean to install overhead trolleys as soon
as they have procured by some means the neces-
sary authority. That invaluable connecting link
between the parks and drveways on this side
of the Harlem and those beyond it they are re-
solved to seize without the slightest regard to
the rights and interests of the people by whom
it was built, at great cost, under restrictions
which were intended TO preserve it forever from
precisely such an encroachment as the Metro
politan company, controlling the i'll begot
ten Huckleberry line. is apparently on the verge
of making The operation of cars on the Cen
tral Bridge by overhead wires will render its
use by light vehicles extremely incOnvenient
and unsafe. In consequence the Speedway and
the upper park drives will become far less read
lily accessible than they now are. and in all
probability great many persons te whom they
have lately been a source of enjoyment will not
make an effort To reach them at the risk and

There is no expression of political or social
enmitv toward this country, for none exists.
But there is a probably exaggerated vie" oi
what has been naptly termed the American
no,rit,, aud a vigorous determination to cope
with it. if possible, through the adoption OF
what are supposed to be the same measures
which have made the United States so success
full The surprising thing is that the cologne
Gazette" does not perceive the logic OF its own
utterance 1t comedies that natural conditions
in Germany are far less favorable than here
If conditions We're the same policies might be
made the same with prospect of success But
in other conditions other policies would seem
TO be required. No tariff can make German
soil more productive or put the coal and iron
deposits closer together. ut is condition, not
a theory" that confronts the Germans, and 1t
would seem to be the part of wisdom TO make
the best of those conditions and adapt theories
to them, rather than to run after theories and
policies suited to other and far different con-
ditions.

When ST. Paul was among the philosophers
of the Epicureans and the Stoics on Mars I'M 1t

of Achaian culture: 'Ye men of Athens. l per-
ceive that in all things We are too superstitious.

seem to be as superstitous the Grecians to
whom the tentmaker of Tarsus spoke so plalhl!.
And they have broken out into riotins over a
