TWO DROWNED AT BRUNSWICK.

Frantic Boy Drags WOuld-Be Res
cuer TO Death.
Brunswick, Ca, June 2O-In a heroic
endeavor to save a negro boys life ne
gro man named Pierson lost his own life
to-day and failed of rescue. The boy
was in the water near the Plant System
dock and cried out that he was sinking.
Pierson got in a boat and started out
after him. He was near the boy and
warned him to keep quiet and his head
out of water, but thu boy was frantic
with fear and did not seem to give heed
to the warnings. Pierson was padding
the fiat-bottom boat with a board, and
as he drew near the sinking
boy reached out and caught
him. The long reach and weight on
one side overbafanced the boat, tumbling
Pierson in the water. The boy clutched
his would-be rescuer with the death Crap
pie of a drowning person and together
they sank and never came up before ne
had gone from both. Strange to say
there were fully one hundred men working
on the docks in plain view of the tragedy,
but no effort was made to prevent 1t. 1t
is thought that the men had an idea
both would come out all right. and did
not make the ordinary effort Of rescue.
A few minutes before the drowning oc-
CURED another boy fell in the water near
by. and was showed plank on which he
came out all right.

analogous to that performed by the gem

armies. 1t is preparation for war. After
the declaration of war between Prussia
and France, one of Won Moltke's visit
ors wes greatly surprised to find him
reading French novel, and asked him
why ne was not preparing his plan OF
campaign.
1t is already prepared replied Won
Moltke. 1T is in that cabinet yonder.
Il think we should have a general
staff in our army" said the admiral. Il

involved in another war, but If one should
