YOUNG WOMAN'S BRAVERY
TT SAVES DIR. MCLEOD OF ARD
MORE FROM CERTAIN DEATH
UNDER WHEELS OF A TRAIN.
New York Sun Specia1 Service,

New YORK Sun special SefV1ce.
Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-When George
Ingle Mcleod, the young Spanish war
surgeon and society man, fell beneath
the train at Ardmore last Wednesday
night, a beautiful young woman, rich
ly gowned, rushed to his aid before
any one else. She dragged him to the
platform unaided and placed him on
the platform. Then she strove to bind
up his awful wounds with portions of
her petticoat. When DR.. Mcleod
was placed on the train and taken to
the Pennsylvania hospital in this city,
where his feet were amputated, the
woman disappeared.
This heroine is Miss Nancy Allen of
Ardmore, Pa, daughter of Rev. DR..
Marys Episcopal church. Miss AL
len and DR.. Mcleod had been dining
with friends and the physician was
taking the young woman to her home
at Ardmore when the accident oc-
Cured. DR.. Mcleod, with Miss Allen,
left the train, which reached Ardmore
at 1925. and then fastened to jump
aboard to come to the city. The train
was in motion and the physician fell
under the wheels. =.
Many of DR.. McLeod's friends saw
him fall under the cars and were
| aghast. They were too Mortified to
act. Miss Allen was the first to reach
him. Calling upon all ner StfengLn,
she seized him under the armpits and
dragged him to the station platform.
| Disregarding the fact that she was in
| evening costume. she loOsened the
| heavy white opera cloak about her
| throat and, kneeling on the platform,
| bent tenderly over the PROSTATE ply
sician. Her clothing was dyed with
| blood.
| Miss Allen was subsequently taken
| to her home. She collapsed under the
| fearful ordeal and a physician has
been in attendance upon the young
| woman ever since.

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. ia storm of
gigantic proportions is brewing in the
ranks of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, one Of the strongest fra

Charles c.. Pavey has determined to
force out every saloonkeeper, barten-

reign lodge Of the. United States, which

Thousands of men in the liquor
business are affiliated with the Odd
Fellows and, while Mr.. Pavey realizes
already that he has undertaken a
monstrous task, he has issued a man
date that they must either honestly
and legitimately renounce and give up
their business before Jan. 10, 1904,
or be expelled from the order. He
says:
ANY noble grand (presiding officer)
who shirks or refuses to do his duty
will be suspended-they must convict
and expel from the order all such
members Further he says: ''Any
lodge that puts on trial and conVicts
such q member and fails to suspend

on the canal has been thought out of the
thousand plans which have been under
consideration. Boats are being success
fully run on section of the Miami & Erie
Canal between Dayton and Cincinnati,

track railroad runs along the towpath for
the electric motor operated by a trolley,
which hauls from five to seven canal boats
at speed of from four to six miles an
hour. This promises to be of great bene-
tit to the people of Ohio, and give them

grows constantly worse. A slight extra
strain upon the heart will cause it to fiut-
ter and palpitate. Soon there will be pain
and tenderness in the left side and in the
region of the heart; there will be shortness
of breath after slight exertion, such as
climbing stairs, walking, running, sweep
ing, singing, talking, etc. From this con-
dition it is but step to smothering spells

weakness about which hoyers the awful
