Church in this city for fourteen years; ana
as citizen, he had become personally

rare refinement; of fine culture; of high

courtesy, and of broad Christian sym
pathies His scholarship was good; his
service in his sacred profession most
helpful and effective in spite of fran

finally compelled him TO reinquish the

intercourse he was delightful. He was,
in short, the embodiment of Christian

IN THE WHIRLPOOL
LOSS OF THE STEAMER STREOKER
IN THE GREEN RIVER RAPIDS.
Many Passengers Narrowly Escape With
Their Lives-Thrilling Experience
of a Rochcstcr Gir1-The
Story of the Rescue.


Their Lives--Thriiling Experience
of a Rochcstcr GirI-The
Story of tho Rescue.
The captain OF the steamer George
Strecker which went down during
blizzard, in the whirlpool Of the Green
river, had navigated the rapids for over
twenty years previous to the fatefui
trip. The accident occurred soon after
tho passengers had breakfasted and
many Of them were on deck watching
the troubled waters. Among them was
Miss G.. +. Redfern, of No. 90 Am
brose street, Rochester, N. Y, and her &C.
count Of the accident and Of her thrilling
rescue gives the best story OF the pas
sengers' fierce struggle for life.
"When the boat sunk" says Miss
Redfern, "some Of the men jumped into
the water and swan for shore. Others
were clinging to floating bales Of goods
and these were rescued by some men in
long boat. was caught on projec-
ton of the steamer and went down with
her. One Of the crew Owed and brought
me to the surface when somebody threw
life preserver over my head. A young
man helped me on bale of wool which
floated past and so reached the shore. "
At the time of the accident Miss Red
fern was returning to Rochester from
Kentucky but, owing to the shock of the
accident, she reached home in al alarm
ing state Of health.
81 was covered with ice," she said,
"when they brought me ashore. l was
black and blue from my bruises and my
relatives said they did not think would
live. And for long timo. until took
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, my nervous system was a wreck.
Doctors had not helped me and l was
very miserable. My health ran down to
an alarming degree, was weak, grew
thin and was extremely nervous and ir-
ritable. But DR.. Williams Pink Pills
changed all this. In n short time after
beginning with them / felt better and,
aftor using few boxes more, felt like
my old self again"
These pills have become famous all
over tho world for their wonderful eff
ficacy in cases Of nervous troubles, small
or great. They have cured when the
trouble was more severe than Miss Red
fern s and they cure lesser nervous dis
orders without fail.

THE GRANGE.
BY WORKINGMEN A
FAILURE.

The theory that a city composed largely
of Workingmen can best he governed bv
workingmen themselves has not been JUS
titled in practice in the ense of Ansonia,
Conn, city of 1900 inhabitants, which
elected Workingman as its mayor Il
year ago last December and gave him n
board of aldermen of the same kind to
help him carry out his ideas. The net
result of one years experiment with
tradcs-unlon government has been the
loading down of the city with an cnor-
nous tax rate with nothing to show for
il except a shortage in the tax collectors
account, the decentralization of the local
fire department, large number of illegal
appointments To office, and an indictment
hanging over the head of the mayor him
self for conspiracy against private prop
crtY. The only compensation the good
citizens of AnSonia seem to have as an
Offset TO their big tax bills, Is the amuse-
ment afforded them by the opera bouffe
proceedings of his honor the mayor and
his councillors in their weekly meetings,
and 1t may well be doubted whether this
has been sufficient solacc for the extra
drafts on their pockctbooks needed to
keep the show going That one turn at
il has been enough to satisfy the electors
Of Ansonia, was made evident at an
election recently when an opportunity
was given them to express their opinion
of the local administration at the ballot
box. The vote was overwhelmingly ad-
verse, which means that when the pres
cnt mayors term is ended Ansona will
return to normal and saner ways. The
experiment would seem to prove that
something more is needed to run a city
government successfully than trades
union ideas, however good those ideas
may be in themselves in their proper
place. --Leslie's Weekly.

Yes" admitted John. When he'd
told US one story we'd get out of bed
and run round the room while Then
we would crawl in again and put our
cold feet against his back, and keep
them there till he told us another
Years afterward Bob became fam

he knew it, but for the sake of carrying
