RULERS AS LIFE sAvERs.

German Kaiser and Spanish Ktnn
 Said to Have Rescued . Boy.
 BERLIN, March 21.-Emperor Will liam and King Alfonso figure as life sav- CTS in story told in Das Kleine Jour nal. According to this paper, the two monarchs were cruising about the har- bor of Vigo on the gunboat Vasco Nu- nez dc Balboa, when, owing to the awk- ward maneuvering of a fishing steamer named the Melton, the two vessels came into collision.
 A twelve-year-old boy fell between the two vessels and would inevitably have been crushed but for the inter vention of the monarchs, who person ally dragged him to the grnboat. The Melton was seriously damaged, and it is considered almost miracle that her boiler did not explode which in view of the position of the two craft would have been extremely dangerous to the gunboat

Mr Dwyer was thirty three years old and leaves widow and one child He was well liked by every body who knew him and his home life was very pleasant. He walked out Of the house on the evening of December 3, to be gone but few minutes, and that was the last tidings his wife heard Of him un- til the news was broken to her Satur- day that his body had been found in Seymour. After leaving his home he called at cafe in Brooklyn, but did not remain there long, those who saw him claiming that he left. presumably to return to the house It is sur- missed that on the way home he fell into the Naugatuck river and was bound i'll the ice until the past few days when the rains loosened the body and it was carried in the water to where it was picked up.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

--Dr DeLigouri says people are choking about the streets of Brooklyn from the effects of escaping illuminat- ing gas and declares that unless some thing is done to abate the nuisapce serious results will follow.
 The man on the Brooklyn Briefs had a lot of people who wanted to talk with him to-day and curfously enough nearly all of them had the same tale Of woe to relate. The selfsame ques- tion to ask: Everybody wanted to know what the powers that be meant by sweeping Bank street Saturday and leaving the heaps of dirt on the way side over Sunday. One woman claim cd that she nearly broke her neck over q pile of rubbish on her way to the meat market and another claimed that while she was not aware of any ser ious harm resulting from the nuisance she did think that it looked as if some body had blundered and she hoped that it will not be necessary to call attention to it again. The night came down too soon, perhaps. and the de- partment thought that the best thing to do was leave things as the dark ness found them for the time being.
 There was big sensation on Bank street about 9 o'clock last night and for a time spectators expected to see somebody killed. The speed of woman's heels saved the crowd from witnessing tragedy such as the dis trict has not seen for some time past for it was plain that her pursuer meant mischief if he could have caught her while his temper was at white heat People who were stand ing around the corner of Riverside and Bank street, commonly known as the Exchange place of Brooklyn, were about to start for home, when an Ital- ian woman came up the street shout ing Murder Y Police v and every thing else she could think of. She had but little clothes on, but the rest of her wearing apparel was thrown across her arm. She turned into Bank street with tremendous speed and in stead of rushing to the men folks standing around the fleeing form head ed towards the center Just as she passed Kelly's block man with a stilletto in his hand rushed around the corner and seeing the woman, then nearly over the road bridge, he emitted two or three war whoops and went in the same direction. He seemed to gain on his intended victim at every step and was quite close to her when three blue coated guardians of the public peace Officers Walsh, Halpin and Kane, hove in sight and put an end to the race. The man and woman ex- changed a few words in their own language and then walked away as if nothing unusual had happened. Some folks thought at the time that the officers would arrest both, but they didn't and as matter of fact it would he hard to see how they could convict them of anything If they had.
 At this season of the year and early spring, everyone is subject to coughs and colds which if neglected may lead to something serious. Walkers Cough Syrup has done wonders in the past nn6 is still on duty at the old stand.

POLITICS SUITABLE
 IN THE PULPIT.

At St Johns church last night, the pastor, Rev John N. Lewis, addressed the Patriotic Order. Sons of America, taking for his subject the passage from Scripture: Render thou unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods" The Rev MT Lewis believes that the pulpit is a. proper place for an expression of opinion on public questions. After referring to the part the prophets of old played in the affairs of the world the speaker said:
 "But nowadays men say that the pulpit has no business with politics, and the preacher nothing to do with public affairs. Why should not poli- tics enter the pulpit as well as any other place of public utterance? Why should not the preacher have to do with anything that makes for the up lifting of his fellowmen? But if a pastor does interest himself in public issues, he is apt to be more bewildered the more he learns and thinks, for it is very hard to decide about things which have at first only one side"

Politicians are specializing upon
the new ownership of the Springfield

paper in the capital city, and at one
time the official organ of Senator Cul-
iom. It is reported the purchase price
was $4,000. and it is gossiped that

Governor Yates personal friends
say he will not accept job under
the Deneen administration, but win
open an office in Springfield and de
vote his time to personal affairs. In
This connection Il is denied that the
outgoing executive will resume the
practice Of law. which denials adds
to the mystery as to the governors
