Saved by Umbrella.

From the New York Tribune.
A curious story comes from Marseilles.
where the steamer Vile dOran has just
arrived from Algiers. A boat had been
sent to fetch the doctor of the ship, as 1t
was on the point Of sailing. and 1t had
hardly started on its return journey to the
vessel. with him on board, when a tre-
mendous thunderstorm burst over the town
and the port, the rain falling in a perfect
deluge. The worthy physician Is a careful
man. and, having prudently brought an
umbrella with him. he opened it. He was
making the best Of a bad joke, when, low
ing to sudden lurch Of the boat he top
pied over into the sea. The sailors. who
were pulling for all they were worth. did
not notice his disappearance from the little
craft. and it would have gone very hard
with the doctor. who did not know how to
swim. If he had not retained his hold on
his precious Bingham" The umbrella, in
fact, acted as a life buoy and kept him
above water for upward of half an hour,
when, as he drifted along, his shouts at
tracted the attention Of his friends in the
Vile dOran. who had been wondering what
had become of him. the sailors who had
come with the boat having been utterly
bew1ldered when they discovered that he
was not with them. The physician has to
thank his umbrella for his marvellous es-
cape.

EMPLOYERS HELD LIABLE
For Injury Done to Men Taking Places
of Strikers.

DENVER, Col. April 4.-Employers who
fail to explain to men taking the places of
others who may be out on a strike the an
noyance or violence to which they are ex-
posed are liable for damages in case In
jury Is DONE This Is the opinion of the
court of appeals, just handed down in the
case of VIM. Holtzhauser. who. while In
the employ of the Denver Gas and Electric
Company. was shot by striking employees of
the company. He declared that he was
hired without being told that there was
strike at the plant
In giving the opinion Justice Thomson
said: THE controlling feature of this case
Is that the employer knowingly exposed the
employee to personal danger and concealed
the danger from him. 1t is intimated that
during the intervening time the plaintiff
ought to have discovered that strike was
in progress and that the defendants old
employees were in no tranquil state Of mind.
How he might have made the discovery
unless he had seen or heard something to
suggest inquiry we are not told. 1t is al
legged that the plaintiff did not know that
there was strike or that he was in any
danger until he was attacked. an explicit
statement of facts not to be met by mere
argument"

GAME IN THE YELLOWSTONE.
Men Not Allowed to Enter the National
Park With Guns.

From the New York Sun.
Reports about Mr.. Roosevelt's Intentions
toward animal life in the Yellowstone Park
require translation in order that they be
not misunderstood. The President has
gone into seclusion within the limits of
this government reservation. For sixteen
days he will be shut Off from the world
by climatic conditions and by deliberate
DEMONSTRATION from most Of his travel
ing companions, who await him on a side
track at Cinnabar,a Just outside the north
ern gateway to the park. 1t is assumed
by some that the President has entered
the Yellowstone Park to crafty his we'll
known sfondness for the sport Of hunting;
that he will spend his sixteen DAVIS in
those parts offs the spark where game is
most abundant and that he will have no
end of fun there with his favorite shotguns
and rifles -,
The fact u.s., however, that the citizen
who In Ignorance OF the statutes applies
for admission otos the park with the de-
structive purpose s0dgeneraIly and SO I'M
justly attributed tD President Roosevelt
is foredoomed ito severe disappointment.
He learns at the: gate that firearms are
prohibited. If.Ihe persists in entering. his
guns are taken away from him by the
sergeant in charge Of the station: the SER
geant gives recipe for the weapons and
returns them whenVthe owner reappears
to depart. This Is a precautionary meas
ure really IN the interest of the citizen
and sportsman whose outfit Is thus tenn
porar1ly confiscated. If the citizen sports
man were caught inside shooting a hear
or bluebird, he would forfeit his vun
altogether to the United States govern
ment, besides becoming liable to a fine of
$1,000. or imprisonment up to two years.
or both, for having violated section Of
the act OF 1894.

TRIBUTE TO JOSIAH PIERCE.
His College Magazine In Cambridge,
England, Tells Of His Life There.

A recent issue of the Emmanuel College
Magazine. published In Cambridge. Eng
land. contains an article on the life and
work Of the late Josiah Pierce, jr., whose
death occurred in this city last July. Mr..
Pierce was a student in Cambridge in the
early sos. and 1t is stated, was one of the
best-known figures in Emmanuel during
his student life there. In referring to Mr..
Pierce's connection with the institution, the
magazine writer says: Few more popular
men, few more lovable characters have
ever been connected with the college. and
his premature death is felt as personal
loss by his many friends both in Cambridge
and in the wider world outside"
After. brief reference to his family his
tory the writer goes on to say that Jos,
as Mr.. Pierce was affectionately known
among his associates, became the leading
spirit in nearly everything that went on in
the college, and while some Of the Incidents
were perhaps without the commentator
of the authorities, yet the fun which they
represented was always healthy in tone,
and that there was nothing done by Pierce
which any man who Joined him need ever
be ashamed to recall.
Pierce rowed in the college boat. was al-
ways in demand as contributor to the
musical entertainments in the school, was
an expert fencer, fine swimmer and
writer of sketches which were In great de-
mand. The writer mentions in particular
on the day Mr.. Pierce received his degree
of B. A. from Emmanuel College. This
event is known in the records as 1.-The Bat
tie of the Wooden Spoons" and the writer
says:
Few who were present will forget how
Pierce, when returning from kneeling be-
fore the vice chancellor, took refuge from
the melee on the pedstal of one of the
statues. and from his post of vantage, in
the full glory of a new bachelors hood
cheered on the bearers of the wooden spoon
as they rushed up the Senate House. 1t can
safely be said that this was the only occa-
sion when he was present while fun was go
ing on and did not take leading part
in it,"
A sketch of Mr.. Pierce's work in this coun-
try Is also contained in the article and
several Of the important movements with
which he was connected are described to-
gether with incidents of his closing days.
The whole article may be said to be an af-
fectionate tribute to the memory of a man
held in the highest esteem by his fellows.

Maple Sugar Will Be Scarce.

From the Portland (Me) Advertiser
All the reports from the maple orchards
seem to indicate shortage in the supply
of maple strip and sugar this season. The
early spring is the cause. The old sugar.
makers claim that in order to get a good
supply of sap there must be plenty of snow
on the ground, with freezing nights and
thawing days. On this theory they &C
count Tor poor seasons by the growing
fashion of milder winters and the early
disappearance of the snow At any rate.
1t Is sure that some years do not produce
a very large flow Of sap into the buckets
OF the sugar and strip manufacturers.

From the London Diapers Record
Women in business on their own account
have much in their favor. AS a rule, they
are not speculative, they are far-seeing,
they have patience. are more attentive to
what they take in hand, and, If they know
tnelr business, they can more quickly build
up connection than can man. But thew
are less systematic in their bookkeeping.
