WHERE HEROINEs GROW.
story of the Rescue of Five unfortu-
nate Hunters by u Poor BUR-
mese woman.

She is only a Burmese woman, and
even her name is not known In this
country. But whatever her name may
be, it may be here be translated Grace
Darling. For she is saver of life ex-
traordinary, a heroine of large proper
tions, and a credit TO her brown skinned
race, says the New York Herald
From the accounts which have pene-
trated from the land of secrecy and a
few exterior condolences, il appears
that she is simple, unpretentious resi-
dent of the countryside near Rangoon.
In front of her home flows a stream of
considerable proportions, and this
proximity has bred in her love OF
the water, familiarity with its ca
prices and treacheries, and a skill in
the handling of all manner of craft
fashioned to conquer the waves.
On a recent Sunday six clerks from
Rangoon, intent upon the enjoyment of
their holiday, set out from the city.
guns in hand. with the idea of bringing
back load of game which should fur
nish food for boasting for many a
weary work day. When near the sub
urb of lnsein the hunters came to the
conclusion that their chances might be
bettered from the vantage point of
the opposite shore.
But they had no boat--and the wom-
an had boat, and it would accommo-
date the entire party. An arrangement
was made for her to ferry the sports
men across. Midway of the stream
sudden squall sprung up, and, despite
the efforts of the party, the sail was
carried away and the skiff was
swamped.
Not a man could swim. The woman,
however, was thoroughly at home in
the water, and, directing the capsized
hunters to hold to the overturned boat,
swan ashore, first with one and then
with another. In this manner five were
saved. The remaining man lost his
head and consequently his life, having
released his hold on the skiff and at
tempted to negotiate the current.
But this did not end the womans
heroism. Exhausted as she was with
her labors, she yet swan back to her
own side of the shore and secured an
other boat, in which she sailed to the
opposite bank and carried back the
dripping survivors.

FOUND AT CLUB PARTIES.
Gard Sharps who Make n Living by
Winning Prizes and Pawn
Ing Them.

Public progressive euchre parties
for rather costly prizes have lately de-
veloped new sort of professional
gambler, says the New York Evening
Post. There are in the city several
small bands of five or six each, mostly
women, who go about to public euchre
parties and almost always win prizes.
The method of procedure adopted by
these euchre 'sharps" is simple. They
watch closely the club and society"
notes in the newspapers, prepare a
schedule of dates each week, pay the
subscription fee required and enter
the games as guests. Their playing is
so expert that they have little difficulty
in carrying off the prizes. By these
able living pawning their winnings,
and so often turning between $40 and
$25 a week.
The professionals, however, are be-
coming known in some parts of town.
AT progressive euchre party held at
one of the armories of the city last
week it became known before the play
began that there were several of the
"sharps" in the room, and by a strategy
they were excluded, although they had
paid the subscription. The six-two
men and four women-were arranged
so that they were placed in pairs at
three tables in different parts of the
room and then told that, the sets not
being complete, they would have to
wait On leaving the room the six
"sharps" met each other and, compar-
ing notes, saw what had been done.
They reentered the room, but found
that play had already begun. This
time they were informed that the game
could not be stopped.

BOSTON, June IA sea of upturned
faces greeted President Edwin l.. Shuey
Of Dayton, o., as he called to order the
great international jubilce convention of
the Young Mems Christian association in
Mechanics building yesterday. Those
faces were for the most part strange to
Boston. From all over the globe the
delegates had come, bringing with them
odividual enthusiasm in the great work
fNS young men, and that enthusiasm,
aFowh mighty in its unison, made the
scene before President Shuey one that
vas powerfully effective. The big hall
was radiant with color. while standards
en- the floor told the location of state
allegations and the seats of distinguished
den from other countries and lands. The
opening exercises were quite brief and
to the point, President Shuey not max
ing any preliminary remarks. The after
noon service was held in Trinity church,
and Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, d. D..
ef New York preached the sermon. Will
liam e. Dodge Of New York presided at
the evening meeting in Mechanics hall.

KINGS AND THEIR MONEY.
Man, RoysI Person. nave Made In
ycstmcnis In hr~rirab se-
curitirs.

Emperor William owned at one time
S7,OO0,O0O OF American securities.
About two years ago his holdings
were transferred TO the name of the
Berlin banker, so II is impossible TO
tell accurately the amount Of his
holdings at the present moment u
is estimated, however, that they aR.
gregate 100000 and his yearly in
come from them is $ljO,0OO. So far
as the records here show, the em-
peror never spcculated in Americans
nor invested in industrial securities.
His holdings have always been rail-
way bonds or stocks and his favorite
issues are Louisville q Nashville,
Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific. Missouri Pa
cifc and Illinois Central. The en-
press of Germany is the individual
owner of about $500, 900 of American
securities. These are in her own
name, but the dividend payments are,
by her order, made to a firm of Ber-
lin bankers.
Other members of the German
royal household, says the Minneapolis
Journal, are owners of American Sc
curities, but the certificates are most
ly in the names of their individual
bankers. The securities so held
amount to about 100000 The car
of Russia holds $6,0OO,OO0 in Amer
lean bonds and stocks, principally
thp former These include issues of
the Pennsylvania railroad, New York
Central railroad, Northern Pacific,
Canadian Pacific. Southern Pacific,
New York, New Haven &c Hartford
and New Jersey Central. His hold
ings are registered in the name of n
st. Petersburg firm, to whom all com
munications regarding them are sent.

Live on InstalImcnt Plan.

Zone of the curious business GUS
toms here" says correspondent in
the City of Mexico, sis that of paying
for things on the 'abono' or Install
ment plan. The great shops carry tens
of thousands of accounts, which are al
ways being added to by fresh charges,
and continually being decreased by the
payment of the monthly 'abonos.'
From your cradle to your coffin you
can, if you have any sort of credit, go
through life on the installment plan.
This is city full of government en-
ployes, like Washington. and they live,
move and have their being on the in
stallment principle"

A hearty appetite does not always indicate
healthy condition. 1t is not the quantity
of food which is eaten but the quantity which
is assimilated, which determines the actual
value of the TODD consumed. If the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition cannot
convert the food into nourishment, and into
blood then the food is an injury instead of
benefit. For all disorders of the stomach
and its allied organs of digestion and nutri-
tion, there is a certain remedy in DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. II removes
clogging distractions. 1t strengthens the
stomach, nourishes the nerves, enriches the
blood and builds up the body. 1t is a flesh

Wtnd and heavy rain, passed over this

course along a wire clothesline reaching
fom the house to fence so feet distant,
where young Morris was standing. The

Ancient Landmark DESTROYED.

' BAYFIELD,, Wis, June 1.-THE old
Catholic church at La Pointe, Madeline
island, has been totally destroyed by fire.
The church was an ancient landmark and
had been visited by hundreds of tourists
annually. The original church was built
in 1885 by Father Baraga and rebuilt at
later date. 1t contained an ancient
painting, '"Ihe Descent From the Cross"
which Indian tradition says was gift to
the La Pointe mission in 1869 by Father
Marquette. 1t is the opinion of some that
the picture was stolen and the church set
OH fire to cover up the loss.
