ing with the unconscious form of Miss
Rush another large wave struck the
two and flung them apparently lifeless
on the sand. Herriot was restored to
consciousness after time, but Miss
Rush was beyond medical aid. She
was hurried to a hospital but died
while the physicians were working
over her without regaining conscious
ness. Death is believed to have been
caused by heart disease produced by
the shock of being hit by the first
wave, as there was not enough water
in the lungs to cause drowning.
1Sadore Rush was one of the most
highly-esteemed women on the stage,
and her versatility made her favorite
with theater-goers. She made her
debut as an actress about a dozen
years ago. She was married to Roland

writer of the same date tries to trace
the word through France into Italy.
Starting with the assumption that
piquenique in French implies party
at which each guest provides some
special duty, he finds the Italian en-
preston nicchia duty and plccola "a

coins piceola nlcchia picnic). A French

In the war he was lieutenant colonel

There were no such laws and
Anthony's superior officers told him SO,
but Anthony had his way.
In 1861 he founded the Leaven-

came back from the war he began n

he died within an hour. Anthony was
acquitted. An attempt was made to
prevent his carrying weapons. On enc
