Baby Finds a Bottle Of carbolIc Acid
and Drinks II.
While the mother was unpacking
an old trunk a little Is months old
baby got hold OF a bottle of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says in telling OF the case:
at was all two doctors could do TO
save him as Il burnt his throat and
stomach SO bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally |
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape-Nuts and am thankful I adopt
ed the food for he commenced 10 get
better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced TO get
neshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well.
IL took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went TO stay TO
eat he called for Grape Nuts and |
would have TO explain how he came
TO call for It as II was his main food.

attended the baby are Or. Eddy OF

Philadelphia, Pa, dispatch: An
amendment TO the constitution OF the
United States prohibiting remarriage
OF Divorces has been proposed by the
interchurch conference on marriage
and divorce, body representing four
teen leading denominations. II also
proposes that this action be preceded
by enactment OF laws In the state

Already action has been taken by
the conference looking toward the
prevention OF remarriage by ministers
OF other communions of Divorces
whom clergymen OF their own faith
have refused to marry.
This movement is the first occa-

IF there is one characteristic for which
i the seventh Edward of Great Britain
has always been noted it is his tact
fulness. Many anecdotes illustrative of
this have been told by his loyal subjects of
the British empire and by his numerous
stanch admirers in America as well. There
are those even now in the United States
who recall how, during his visit to that
country in his early life. the then Prince
of Wales was chased across a ten acre lot
by an infuriated bull.
His royal highness upon that occasion
ran as hard as any commoner mortal. in
spite of the fact that it was somewhat

not and the bull had tossed me my host

trait manifest itself / recall visiting the
royal nursery on an afternoon in 1914, or

Preeoeitu of Alfred Austin

II OWEVER much surprise certain
persons may have felt at the ap-
pointment of Mr. Alfred Austin
10 the Poet Laureateship, his friends who
had followed his career from boyhood up
TOOK the selection as matter of course.
must confess that my own acuuaint-
ance with the poet began with that ap-
polntment, and | have always reloiced at
the selection, because otherwise I should
probably never have heard of him and
should thereby have missed much in the
way of English verse that is unquestion-
ably charming.
From the aforesaid friends, however. I
have heard much of the earlier days of
Laureate, and from one little incident.
dating back to the poets seventh wear.
l can quite understand how it was that
the friends Of his youth expected great
things of him. The incident referred to
tells very simply of a Limerick which the
boy Alfred wrote at that tender age. AS
repeated to us it ran this way:
There was young lady Of France.
whose Ialner he came from New jersey:
When asked, What's his name?
She said. Il don't know,
But think it is spelt with a O.
That" said my informant "strikes me
as the most remarkable Limerick that
was ever written"
And considering that it was written bv'
a lad not yet seven years of age. I must
agree that the poets friend was right. As
has been said by another it takes real
genius to rhyme France with New Jersey
not to mention the O.

fifteen feet square. The mouth of the
pipe is in a perpendicular wall which
rises ten feet above the platform.
Diver Is Frightened.
To close the opening effectively this
plan was devised: A great ball, made
of wood, ffty-two inches in diameter,
or four inches larger than the inlet
opening in the apron, was weighted
with lead and lowered toward the open
ing. 1t was hoped that the suction
would catch the ball, draw it into the
hole and cut off the flow of water
through the pipe. At the first attempt,
which was last week, the ball broke
away from the rope by which 1t was
lowered. Chief Engineer George G.
Harness, who had devised the plan,
sent to j. S. Bundick, master diver, of
20 South street, New York, for diver.
Bundick sent out Bill Hoar who found
the ball on the bottom of the dam and
connected 1t again with the lowering
cable.
Hoar, when he came up from the job,
described the suction Of-the water into
the mouth of the four-foot pipe as ter
rife. He was all the time afraid, he
said, that it would catch him, no mat
ter how far away from the opening of
the pipe he kept.
The ball was lowered again and this
time rolled into the inlet opening and
was caught by the suction. But the
water did not stop flowing from the
outlet of the pipe on the other side of
the dam. 1t came out in a diminished
volume, but still in torrent which
made it out of the question to attempt
TO reach the broken valve which was
making all the trouble. Bill Hoar was
sent for again to find out what was
wrong. He reached Boonton Monday
morning early and went down.
When he came up he reported that
five-inch hawser which had been tied
into one end of the ball to make it
easier to handle had got in between the
downstream side of the ball and the
bottom sof the pipe and kept the open
ing from being closed altogether. The
ball was rolled from one side of the
pipe to the other and the water rush
ing past its sides and bottom into the
pipe made the divers situation 'scary
a-plenty," he said.
There was a consultation of engi-
neers and it was decided to try TO flli
the crevices between the sides and bot
tion of the ball and the edges of the
pipe with sandbags, for Hoar had re-
ported that any diver who attempted to
reach the jammed rope or cut it would
be drawn in and crushed to death by
the suction.
Bill Hoar went down with eight sand
bags at 8 o'clock. He came to the sur
face at 10 o'clock and said that he had
stopped all leakage on one side of the
ball and that there was no suction on
that side TO speak of. With more sand
bags he went down again and when he
came up at noon he said that there
was now no danger at all in walking
around the platform, although there
We're several crevices through which

stand that letting the sand out of them
would loose his foot But it wasn't the
bags, it was the suck, and the more
they loosed the more his foot went in.
So quit that and came up
1t was for but little time that Bill
Olsen stayed on the surface. His re-
port as to the lay of things at the bot
tom gave Mr.. Harness a plan at once
He sent for a block and tackle. To this
he tied great bundle of sand bags.
He ran rope through the block and
sent the bundle of bags 300 feet out
into the dam on a boat and sunk them
Then the men on the raft took one end
of the rope and Bill Olsen took the
other down and tied it about Bill
Hoar's waist. 1t was hoped that when
the men above pulled their strength
would draw Hoar away from the pipe
toward the middle of the reservoir and
so free him. But instead the cement
bags dragged in toward the imprisoned
man.
He was more firmly fastened than the
anchor.
The anvil from the blacksmith's shop,
the biggest and heaviest thing that the
boats could float, was then tied to the
sand bags which were carried out and
sunk again. Bill Olsen went down
again.
Every time 1 went down. said he
afterward, Bill shook me by the hand
much as to say, 1 know you're dotn'
your best
Olsen Shows Grit.
But again the anchor gave way.
Hoar still clung. 1t was now long past
midnight. Hoar had been down over
nine hours, longer than most men be-
lieved a man could live at that depth.
The straining at the ropes must have
racked him pitifully. Olsen found him
living on his back on the cement plat
form and his grip was not as strong as
it had been. Olsen tried with crow
bar to pry the great ball. which weigh
ed 1920 pounds, one side. 1t was
great risk for Olsen to take, for it put
him in the danger of being caught just
as Hoar had been But he did it. The
ball moved a little, swung and caught
Olsen's hand and crushed it. He pulled
himself out of the suction and lay
down for moment by Bill Hoar, al
most insensible.
When he came up again DR.. Taylor,
who stayed out on the dam all night
to suecor Hoar, told Olsen that he
must not go down again.
Bill Olsen half shut his bloodshot
eyes, put his mangled hand behind him
and growled:
Pm goin' down an get my pal Bill"
He signaled for his helmet and went
down again and again. At about 9
o'clock this morning 900 feet Of inch
and half rope were laid out from the
nearest shore to the float and team
of four horses was attached to 1t. Oh
sen took down the end of the rope and
tied it to a blight about Bill Hoar, VINO
was still able to move and TO shake
his hand. The horses were started.
The rope broke Then and there, IN
the hearts of the engineers ended all
real hope of ever getting Bill Hoar out
alive. Olsen came up, half dellrlous
and quite unable to do anything more.
He was carried off TO the cottage or
Foreman Connolly and put to bed. He
was able to get up at 6 O'Clock, ana
went to his home in Brooklyn.
II wouldn't ask Bill TO do any more
for me- he says simply enough.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-15

But on an early train came John
Myers, Bill Hoar's closest friend and
companion for fifteen years. Fresh
and full of hope he was sure he could
get Hoar up. He went down at 10
O'Clock. He found that Hoar had man
aged to pull himself up to the side of
the ball and was resting against it.
he does not believe Hoar recognized
him.
Il knew well enough" he said, 'that
he couldn't hear me. But, seeing him so, 1
caught myself saying: Bill! Bill! Say, get
move! Wen get you up!' He moved one
arm little. l Strengthened him out and
pulled and hauled. But it was no use. L
went back up"
Hoar had not signaled the surface much
while the other divers were working After
Myers report Bundick himself, who had
come out with Myers, went down He
came up thoroughly discouraged and with
feeling almost of certainty that Hoar
was doomed, if not dead already. But at /
o'clock the faithful Dobson, who had
stayed out all through the night, wizened-
up little man that he is, tried the sig
nal.
Hold on a little!'
He did it rather from force Of habit,
never expecting a reply again. To his sur
prise came three sharp tugs
Haul away!'
Following these came the quivers which
meant to Dobson:
Send man down."
Dobson told Meyers and Myers snatch
ed up a diving suit and put bumpers to
work and hurried down. He came up half
an hour later, utterly disconsolate. He
was sure Charley DObson was wrong He
knew it. He had found Bill Hoar. stretch
ed out, with his left leg still pinioned,
utterly limp and lifeless. He was sorry,
he said, that he had ever gone down,
it would hurt him the rest of his life
How Body Was Recovered.
Tt was perfectly apparent all the time
that no force that would not actually rend
