FORWARDED BY A DRAG0MAN
Bishop Satterlee's Former Guide offered
to Make the Gift While at

Information has reached the Right
Rev. Henry Satterlee, bishop Of Wash
inSton. that the stones taken from the
River Jordan. which viii form the fA-
ing Of the baptism mai font at Cathedral
Close are on their way 10 America.
and will be delivered in Washington
within the next few weeks
Much interest centers IN the stones
and the manner IN which they were Oh
tanned for the font. Some years ago
Bishop SatterIee made a trip through
the Holy Land. and when on a visit 70
the Paris Exposition in 1900. he unex-
pectedly met the dragoman with whom
he had made the visit to Palestine. In
the course of a conversation one even
ing the bishop and his old acquaintance
recalled some memorable experiences
they had had on the banks OF the River
Jordan. and Bishop Satterlee remarked:
IF one could only have brought from
the bed of the river some of those very
stones. how greatly they would hallow

A HERO OF PEACE.

John Shaffer, the Reading watchman at Tioga crossing who was struck by an engine while saving a woman's life Tuesday evening, died next day at the Samaritan hospital His right leg was broken, skull fractured and head badly cut. Shaffer's home was at No. 1858 Ger mantown avenue.
 The accident occurred at a crossing clcse by the Readings Tioga station. The gates were down, and as a train had just gone by, two women who thought the crossing was clear started to cross. Another was approaching, however. and Shaffer shouted at them, but neither apparently heard him. One locomotives headlight: the other was terrified by the appalling danger of her situation, and stood motionless. Shaf- fer saw the opportunity, dropped his lantern, and stood on the track, whirled the woman clear of the train just in time, so that she escaped without in jury. She left the vicinity immediately after, and her name is not known.
 Shaffer was not so fortunate. The end of the pilot beam struck him, and he was hurled twenty feet across the platform. He was picked up uncon- scious and taken to the Samaritan as speedily as an ambulance could be sum- moned. Shaffer was B years old; he had a splendid reputation for watch fulness and care, and is credited with having saved a dozen Hves.-Philadel- phia Telegraph.
