THE PRESIDENTS JOURNEY.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 22.-The PTest-
I dent and some of those who accompanied
him to the launching of the battIeship
ONO had narrow escape from painful
injury. The platform upon which the dis
InguIShed party witnessed the wedding
OF the warship to the waters of San Fran
cisco Bay was erected at the end of the
/ slip IN which the Ohio rested and direct
~ IN front of the PROV of the boat. Back
OF this was one Of the shops of the Union
Iron Works, upon the roof of which had
been built another smaller platform for
the use of a number of photographers who
were desiTous Of catching a snap shot Of
the big ship just as she plunge! into the
water Photographer Hemment, one of
the members Of the party. had big pic
ture-making machine mounted on tri-
pod near the apex Of the roof The guests
below were auxiOusly counting off the mo-
ments awaiting the time when Miss Bar
Der should press the button which vas to
release the Ohic's supports. Suddenly
there came along San Francisco zephyr,
such as in Kansas would cause people to
take to their cyclone cellars, but which in
Frisco is known only as a Bay breeze,
over went the tripod and down went the
camera, humping, crashing and smash
ing on the metallic roof The sound was
a warning to those below and afforded the
President and those who stood beside him
an opportunity to get out of the way in
time to avoid injury When the machine
struck the platform it was demolished
into a thousand pieces, but the artist, I'M
disturbed by the destruction of his 500
instrument, calmly took a smaller camera
and caught a snapshot of the President
and others surveying the debris. The in
cident has been styled the launching Of
the camera and may serve to explain
why a certain illustrated weekly will not
have better picture of the lIunc hing of
the Ohio.

OF course the Ohio had to be launched
with poem; that was a part of the pro-
gramme as essential as the christening
Of the ship with a bottle of champagne.
So while the duty of providing the wine
fell to California the poem was a product
Of the Buckeye State. The honor Of its
composition and the distinction of read
ing it were awarded to Mrs. Ida Eckert
Lawrence of Toledo, and so marked was
its success that scOffers can no longer
assert that Ohio is not poetic-at least it
may be said to have poetic genius with

word which IS always as good as his bond.
In the last Presidential campaign Mr..
Miller, being a consistent Democrat, was
an enthusiastic advocate of Mr. Bryan,
and firmly believed that the Nebraskan
would receive a majority of the electoral
votes. His neighbor on the left was as Ger
tain that sir. Mckinley would be elected,
and the two had many heated arguments
during the canvass. Finally they made
a wager to the effect that if Mr.. Mckinley
should be elected the poet should pIOw a
ten-aCre lot for his neighbOr. and IN case
OF the triumph of Mr.. Bryan, the neigh
Dor should overturn the Sod on a tract

RECTOR SAV YES A WOMAN.
THE REV. f. TOWNLEY DRAGS A SWIM
MER FROM THE WAVES AT
FORT HAMILTON.

The Rev. F. Townley. assistant rector Of
Christ Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, spent a part
of Sunday afternoon in saving woman from
drowning in the bay at Fort Hamilton. He had
just returned to the Bay Cliff Villa, Shore Road
and Ninety third-st, from the service in the
city, and took stroll down to the pier.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Herring were in bathing
and had started out for the raft, which is in
twelve feet of water. Mrs. Herring, becoming
tired. turned back. telling her husband to keep
on. as she would be able to reach shore safely.
Suddenly she sank. and Mr.. Towney. throwing
off his coat, jumped from the pier. With few
powerful strokes he reached the woman, who
had become unconscious, and brought her TO
shore. Meanwhile Mr. Herring seeing his wife's
peril started to swim hastily back. In his ner-
yousness he became exhausted, and he, too, had
to be helped ashore Mrs. Herring soon re-
covered consciousness.
