Auto Plunges Into River.

An autoist riding along the Passaic
River, at Paterson, with a woman COM
panion lost control of his steering gear
near Laurel Cemetery and turned the
machine into the river, which at this
point is very shallow. Before the man,
who was excited, could shut off the
power the auto was fifty feet from
shore in five feet of water. Bota 0ccu-
pants of the auto, which was numbered
"100S3, New Jersey" were drenched
before they made shore A crowd soon
collected and fifty hands pulled on a
hawser that was attached to the hind
axle of the auto by O farmer. The
auto could not be budged. Then troll
ley car hitched on and also failed to
move the machine. Another car hove
in sight, and with the aid of the two
trolley cars and the increasing crowd
that came to the riverside to learn the
trouble the auto was brought to shore.
Meanwhile the woman autoist was
seated on porch of farmhouse over
looking the river watching the efforts
Of the auto rescuers. While hel cloth
ing was being dried she wore a ging-
ham dress several sizes too large for
her. The auto was rot damaged 1t
went away under its own power, the
occupants getting loud cheer from
200 threats for the cheerful manner in
which they had taken their bath and
attendant troubles. The occupants re-
fused to give their names.

Togo's great naval victory, considers
the lessons which win be read in it by
students of naval history. The ques.
tion of battle-ships versus torpedo
boats, he says, is not settled by the
operations in Far Eastern waters; for
Togo did not dare to risk his few
battle-ships as he would have done had
ne had more of them, and the eight
battleships Of Rojestyensky's fleet
were not put TO their best use against
the japanese torpedo-boats for the rea-

The Indian Department has put

worked by the head chief OF the Ponca
tribe for centuries, and which has been
followed by Horse Chief, the present
chief of the tribe, relates the Kansas
City Journal. Every time a girl baby
was born in the tribe it has been the
custom to take the child into Horse
Chiefs tent, where he would bless it
and tattoo figure on the child's fore
head, which would remain there until
death, and in this way make the child
the daughter of the chief, high honor.
In many instances this would disfgure
the face Of the woman for life, and the

tention of the Government to the mat
ter. 1t was promptly stopped, Horse
Chief got twenty ponies for so desig-!

Boys Halt Runaway.

Courageous parts were played by two
youngsters on the boardwalk in Asbury
Park when they stopped a runaway
horse which imperllled the lives of q
crowd of promenaders. The animal,
attached to an empty runabout, and
owned by w. II. Fleischmann, of New
York City, a summer resident Of Brad
ley Beach, bolted on Ocean avenue. AT
Third avenue the wagon collided with
a pole and was smashed With the
remnants dragging behind it the horse
dashed across the boardwalk, the
crowds fleeing for safety behind
benches and lighthouses. The animal
was prevented from proceeding up the
walk by the two boys, who caught him
by the head and held him until the ar
rival Of the owner. They were cheered
by the crowd.
