RESCUED FROM DEATH.
A New York Woman Has Thrilling
EXperIence In the Yosemite Valley,

tne NhIIeYs
Yosemite Valley, Cal, July 15.-Mrs
Johns, of New York City, was found
Tuesday in n steep crevasse back of
Sentinel Dome. On Monday Mrs.
Johns started from Glacier Point
hotel to walk to assures located
two miles from the hotel, and did not
return. Tuesday morning searching
parties started out and one of them
made discovery that filled the spec
tators with horror.
Far down the Sentinel assures,
whose crevasses drop in some places
for thousands of feet, suspended on n
ledge that jutted out from the steep
side, the almost lifeless form of Mrs.
Johns was found by Mr.. Potter, n
hotel clerk. She was too weak to
speak, but was able by signs to make
MIR. Potter know that she still lived.
After trying in vain to work his way
down the mountain side to her, Mr..
Potter was forced to go to the motel
for help. Provided with ropes and
carrying a stretcher a party of eight
went back to the crevasse.
The relief party found Mrs. Johns
position to be critical in the extreme.
She had fallen distance of 800 feet
from the crevaSse walls and had par
tally broken her fall by catching at
juniper bushes as she plunged
through their branches. When the
rope had been lowered, Mr.. Potter
descended to Mrs. Johns side. There,
lodged upon a two-foot ledge, with
her clothing torn to fragments and
her flesh scratched and bruised, lay
Il nh
and lack of food and benumbed by
the frosty night.
The rope was tied around her waist
and an effort made to help her to
the rim above. This attempt proved
futile because of her weight. BY
leaning over the abrupt precipice Mr..
Potter could discern another and
larger ledge 100 feet below, from
which was a sheer drop of hundreds
of feet. He determined to try this
plan of rescue. Giving the order to
those above to lower the rope, Mr..
Potter swung the inanimate form of
Mrs. Johns out from the tiny strip
of rock upon which she had braced
herself for 15 hours, and by swinging
the rope to and fro Mr.. Potter was
able to lodge her body on the larger
ledge. He then descended himself.
Calling to one of the mountain guides
above, Mr.. Potter had him descend
the rope to the ledge upon which he
was resting. Then the two picked up
Mrs. Johns and together they made
their way around dangerous lodges
and over yawning precipices until, al
most worn out, they finally reached
the rim above

LYNCHERS FOlLED.
A Young Negro, Guilty of a Brutal
Assault, SmuGgIed Out of IA FlImsy
Jail by n Deputy Sheriff.

Albany, Y. Y, July 15.-The quick
wit of a deputy sheriff at CoXsacllie
yesterday afternoon prevented the
lynching of James Little, 10-year-
old negro hailing from Summerhurst,
\ j., who early in the morning near
-Sew Baltimore criminally assaulted
Emma Cole, aged II years, daughter
of Joseph Cole, farmer, living one
mile back of New Baltimore. The
negro escaped after threatening the
child with death. Two other children
had given the alarm and Mr.. Cole and
neighbors met the child coming
home and at once organized party
to scour the woods.
y description of the negro was sent
to nearby towns, and an hour later
he was captured on the railroad
track near CoXsackie by Roy Cutler.
He confessed the assault and was
locked up.
In the meanwhile the news of his
capture was received in New Balti-
more and n mob of 1,5OO enraged
farmers started for Coxsackie, aug
mented by large number of striK-
ing CoXsacliie molders and river men,
all frankly vowing their intention to
lynch the negro.
Deputy Sheriff Sumner Van Loon,
realizing that the coming of dark
ness would mean the breaking of the
f1imsy local lookup and the violent
death of his prisoner, smuggled the
negro out and took him down the
river on the boat to Catskill, where
there is well built Jail.
The Cole child is seriously injured,
but may recover. Her father and
the neighboring farmers are in ter
rible state of excitement and but for
the deputy's quick action would GER
tainlY have lYnched the negro.

still greater depression than during
yesterday, are regarded as symptoms
OF the gravest nature and as pointing
to an imminent dissolution.
Even in the early evening medical
opinion was less pessimistic and DR..
Mazzoni thought the end was not
within sight. He expressed the be-
lief that unless the disease took an
unexpected turn there was no reason
to apprehend death for two or three
days. This statement, however, did
not relieve the anxiety of those who
know what powerful stimulants are
being constantly administered. Some
attribute tho pontiff's extreme weak
ness to the excessive mental and
physical efforts undertaken Sunday
in receiving visitors and from hear
ing mass, etc.
Rome, July 15.-Another remark
able rally in Pope Leo's condition oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon after n
morning in the course of which his
holiness suffered spells of delirium
and at times his strength sank to the
lowest ebb, and now he lies in no
worse condition than he was on Mon
day evening, except for the steady
diminution of his strength.
Yesterdays rally was characteris-
tically opposed to every medical the
ory and consisted in getting out of
the bed on which. two hours previ-
ously, the pope himself had made all
preparations for death. dissatisfied
with this exhibition of vitality, he
transacted private business and re-
ceived four cardinals, with whom he
talked in an animated way. In fact,
Pope Leo's record for yesterday, lit
tie of which appeared in last nights
official bulletin, would be incredible
if it were not confirmed by the doc
tors and cardinals present in the sick
chamber. None seem more perpleX-
ed than the doctors themselves.

GROSS IRREGULARITIES.

Washington, July 15.-A circular of
instructions to internal revenue Of

internal revenue, calling attention to
the gross irregularities and viola
tions of law that now exist in the
handling and sale of manufactured

by jobbers and dealers. \ practice
generally prevails of exposing these
taxable articles for sale separated
from the packages bearing the
stamps denoting the payment of the

This, it is said, is a serious viola
ton of the law and regulations which
it is the purpose of the commission
er to remedy.
Jobbers and dealers are given until
November /, 1908, to get their stock
on hand in order, after which date
all manufactured tobacco, snuff
cigars and cigarettes found exposed
for sale not protected by the tax
paid stamps will be seized and the

office inspectors are investigating
charges made against John NJ. Mas
ten, now assistant superintendent of
the railway mail service and formerly
chief clerk in the first assistant post
master generals office. A man named

inspectors alleging that Masten,
while chief clerk to the first assist

the dead letter office, that he was re-
moved under an order of Masten and
put into the city postotfice, that he
protested and finally that Masten
suggested his getting an outside
party, a close friend of Masten and
n former employe of the postal SER
vice, to help him.
The affidavit alleges that Masten
gave Terry assurance that # he paid
the amount mentioned he could get
back; that he went to Masten's
house about the matter, but did not
pay the money. Terry charges that
subsequently he made an affidavit
making these charges and handed it
to Masten to present it to First As
sistant Postmaster General Johnson
and that the affidavit did not reach
johnson. According to the charges,
Masten subsequently was asked by
Terry for the affidavit and refused to
return it, and Terry thereupon
