DEAF MUTE LIFE-SAvER.
Amicted BROOKLYN Man the Acknowl.
edged Champion Of United States
Volunteer Corps.

John w. Lyons, a deaf mute, resid.
ing at 63s Baltic street, Brooklyn, en-
joys the distinction of being ac-
knowledged champion life saver of the
United States Volunteer Life Saving
corps. The honor was formally be-
slowed on him Christmas evening,
when he was awarded four additional
bars to his first-class silver medal, rec
ognizing the rescue of 30 lives from
drowning during the past summer. The
presentation was made by Commodore
Theodore Krombach, at the Yacht bo-
tel, Third avenue and Twenty-ffth
street. The silent champion was warm
ly congratulated by the invited guests
present, and he received his honors
with becoming modesty, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle.
On two previous occasions Mr.. Lyons
was honored by the corps, and numer.
Gus bars to his lengthy medals are the
acknowledged recognized rewards for
rescuing 81 lives all told. Mr.. Lyons
has many other rescues to his credit
that did not come under the notice OF
the state organization, his complete
record showing grand total of 6;
lives.
This remarkable man was born in
New York city SO years ago and was
educated at the deaf mutes' institution
at One Hundred and Sixty-second
street and Twelfth avenue, Manhattan
He is about five feet six inches in
height, and does not weigh more than
1875 pounds. AT athletics he always ex.
ceiled. He is wiry and muscular, the
result OF many years of careful traix,
ing. He saved three men from tn,
waters of the sound and one from the
Harlem river. The balance of his res
cues were made in the lower bay and
on Coney island. He has remarkable
perception in seeming danger, and his
fearlessness and bravery have many
times called forth plaudits from ad.
miring crowds. He thoroughly under.

Winter is half over. People are con-
tinuing to catch colds, and not house
but hears the winter cough. People
are trying to get something to cure
these troubles which are almost iney-
table at this time of the year. 1t can
safely be said that nine-tenths of the
people in the United States have a
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-
vent colds and cough and cure them
with certainty when contracted. This
remedy is Peruna. Taken with regu-
larity during the winter months, it will
entirely prevent colds, coughs, la
grippe, consumption, bronchitis or

DIES MONIES, Dec. 16.-(Special )-State
Labor Commissioner e. d. Brigham has
Just commenced HIS first proceedings under
the new factory inspection law for the
prosecution OF owners Of factories who
persist in refusing to comply with the re-
quirements OF the new law in the matter
OF providing safety appliances for their
employees. Under this new law the labor
commissioner and his deputy have been
engaged a large part OF the year in fac
tory inspection. The factories Of the state
were found TO be generally in good con-
dition as to ventilation and safety appli-
ances, but in the matter Of providing fire
escapes and sanitary closets and in pro-
viding blowers for emery wheels and other
means for carrying of the dust where GER
tain kinds of work is followed the factory
managers have been negligent. In nearly
every city of the state factory owners have
been given notice to make changes or pro-
vide certain things. and in most cases COM
pliance has been readily agreed to. In a
number OF cases no attention has been
paid to the law. That this matter may be
tested and the rights Of the commissioner
made plain Mr.. Brigham has Just directed
that suits be commenced in Waterloo
against eight firms which have failed to
comply with the notices he has sent them.
The matter is placed in the hands OF the
county attorney for prosecution. Papers
are also being prepared for many similar
cases In the state. II is the intention to
give the law a eir trial and to demon
strate its usefulness before the meeting OF
the legislature next session, as It Is ex-
peoted some changes will be asked at that
time.
The quarterly conference Of the execu-

tive heads OF the state institutions with
the Board of Control was commenced to-
day, with a full attendance. One OF the
leading papers presented this afternoon
was on some observations among the
prisons of the Scandinavian countries by
C. F. Wennestrum, formerly state labor
commissioner, who spent several months
in the scandinavian countries for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition last spring
and summer. Mr.. Wennestrum made an in
vestigation of the prisons by request Of the
state board and found much that interested
the member Of the board in the different
methods Of conducting prisons and reform
atories in that country.
Growth of Labor Unions.
Labor unions are increasing in number
rapidly in Iowa. The reports to the state
officials OF the American Federation OF La
Dor indicate that during the last six
months, since the last meeting Of the fed
GRAFTON, there have been ~ninety-three new
unions formed in the state. These are
nearly all in towns where unions had al
ready been formed, but the federation has
employed T.. P. Mention OF Boone to go out
regularly and work for new organizations
and as a result a number Of towns have
been organized where unions did not before
exist. 1t is announced that the labor union
men are preparing to enter more largely
into politics than ever before, for the pur-
pose of securing a number of desired laws
from the next legislature.
Insurance Matter stin Unsettled.
State officials accomplished nothing today
In the matter of the complaints of insur-
ance COMPANIES against the alleged illegal
action Of State Auditor Merriam and his in
surance examiner, Max Behler, who are
said to be exacting exorbitant fees from
insurance companies in the east for pre-
tended examinations. The attorney general
was not in the city and could give no legal
opinion as to the rights and duties OF the
governor or executive council. 1t is agreed
that no examinations have been authorized
and IL any such are made they are illegal
but they did not see how the council can
take any action to prevent such exsmina-
lions II they are being made.

Of that players bowling, as his usually
large scores fell of perceptibly during the
three evening games. Emory played in
very poor luck, splits occurring frequently
which were hard to get, but he mastered
his difficulties and made most brilliant
shots during the course Of his evenings
playing. Encell's playing was quite up to
his average.
For the All-American team VOORHEES, at
night succeeded Peterson, playing with
Wolf and Setback. The visitors showed
their experiences in the game at every
stage, and did not lose one Of the series,
closing the tournament here without a de-
feat, excepting In the two-men team
match, which was played Immediately after
the three evening games were concluded.
VOORHEES, showed remarkable ability, and
his work ELECTED much applause from the
hundreds Of spectators. Wolf gave him
a close race for the honors Of the day in
the high averages. Setback was content
to win the highest score in one game, his
total being 2o7.
That they might win the "Pick" trophy,
donated by Albert Pick & Co. Of Chicago,
and which was open only to the bowlers in
Nebraska, Wisconsin and illinois, the
Omaha players had to secure 1856 pins at
night, the deficit Of the afternoon games.
At the close of the series they lacked 466
Of the required number to lead In the
trophy contest.
Omaha took one match Of the evening, in
the 'two-men match, in which VOORHEES, and
Wolf OF the All-Amerlcan were pitted
against Schneider and Beselin. The locals
won by the small margin Of fifteen pins.
as follows: Schneider. 1870; Beselin, 200;
