SAVES LIFE AND A JOB.
Lad Late to Work Rescues Man and
Gets Praise From Doctor

New York. Aug. Exchanged with at
tempting suicide by jumping into the
East river from the pier at Nineteenth
street. Nicholas Lavendofskey of 33C
Goerck street was taken to Bellevue
hospital last evening and lodged in the
prison ward. The man had been sleep
ing on the Stringpiece of the pier. About
5 o'clock he got up and was seen to
jump into the river.
At the time young John H. Brennan,
employed as night Waterman in down
town tannery, was running along the
river front hurrying to work. Brennan
was late, but despite this fact he threw
his coat down and Ieaped off the pier
after the man in the water. Although
out of breath after his run, Brennan
swan well and got the man safely
ashore.
Dr. Male of Bellevue hospital was
called and removed Lavendofskey to
that institution. Brennan stood on the
pier after the rescue, undecided as to
whether to go to work. He said: ST
was late anyhow, but that fellow
jumping in has made too late to go
to the job. L only had it two weeks,
and this is the first time I've been
late
The solution of the puzzle was left for
DR.. Male. He wrote a brief explana-
tory note for Brennan, saying how the
lad had saved a man from death in the
river. and Brennan went to work with
a light heart and clothes heavy with
water.

RATTLEsNAKE A FREAK.
Peculiarly Crippled Reptile Is Killed
at Bridgeport Wis.

Bridgeport, Wis, Aug 26.-Four
young men of this city killed a rattle
snake over four feet long in clumb of
gooseberries in the yard of Mrs. Hig-
gins recently. A peculiar feature of the
incident was that the snake was minus
several inches of tail, and as a result
could not sound the usual warning of
the species.
It is alleged that certain individuals
in their anxiety to make the securing
of bounties a profitable industry are
releas sing the snakes after removing the
small section containing the rattles.
Snakes thus manned and unable to
sound a warning are naturally a much
greater menace to life than rattlers
possessed of their normal equipment.

Crop Conditions
Are Of Most EnCOu~aging
Nature

Crop conditions are, from all
appearances and accounts, of a
most encouraging nature to say
the very least.
"Node,' Iberia's correspondent
OF the Louisiana Planter, writing
to that very interesting Journal,
says in part:
''The long drought has been
broken by most acceptable rains,
which have fallen generally
through the parish, consequently
our planters and farmers are
wearing fine 6x9 smile that is
absolutely contagious.
In some localities considerable
wind and hail was experienced,
notably so in the Spanish Lake
section where the hail beat the
corn and cane into shreds, doing
much damage, which will take
some time to recover.
The nights are too cool for rap
id growth; the mercury goes down
between the sos and COS, which,
as you know, cannot rush vega
tion; indeed, a fire these cool
mornings is quite comfortable.
Yet all the crops look promising,
and now with these glorious rains
we may reasonably expect the
corn crop safe, as much of it was
Laid by" and the balance will
soon be finished.
The cane borer is still at work,
industriously and very much in
