A DARING RESCUE.
Thrilling Incident in History of the
 Alabama.


 Alabama. New York, Oct. 2.-A rescue which the officers of the batt1eship Alabama declare was one of the most heroic that has taken place in the navy in many years was effected by three sea- men of that battleship off Providence, Mass, Saturday.
 The man who was rescued is Andrew Anderson. a seaman, and the men who saved him are Edward Wagner, W. A. Brannon and F. V. Anderson. The Alabama Is the flagship of the second division of the first squadron of the North Atlantic fleet, which ar rived here yesterday.
 The order was given to the Alabama to weigh anchor and to proceed to New York The chains fouled the stock and somebody had to be lowered to untan- gle them. The job fell to Anderson Anderson was getting along all right when the controller. of the drum around which the anchor chain was to be wound was released. A minute later the aeehof had sunk in twelve fathoms of water and Anderson went down with it.
 The sailor managed to free himself of the rope that was tied around his waist. Once free, Anderson tried to rise to the surface. Instead of doin g so, he struck the bottom of the Ala
 bama Three times the sailor tried to rise and then he lost consciousness Captain W. H. Reeder had signaled for full speed astern and as soon as the Alabama had cleared the spot where Anderson had gone down, the form of
 the sailor appeared on the surface of the water. Wagner was the first of the sailors to see him. He plunged into the sea and swan to where the sailor was.
 He caught the unconscious man around the waist and swimming with one hand, held his head above water. awaiting the assistance of Brannon and D. V. Anderson, who had also plunged into the water.

Mr. Carr rendered valuable service to | this community and city He brought | to the Mayors office a matured. liberal and enlightened judgment and an ex- ecutive ability of the highest order.

Untif Frost.
 The time of the office force of the Alabama Board of Health is so taken up with the arduous work of quaran- tine that State Health ofiacer w. H. Sanders has suspended all examinations for the practice of medicine in the State until frost falls.
 Already a few applicants have been compelled to postpone their examine tions. Among the most disappointed of the applicants were couple of ladies who applied yesterday fer the examina- tien privileges In order to procure os- teopathic licenses. They were srad- uates of the School of osteopathy in Franklin, Ky, and were anxious to hur- " with answering the questions that have to be propounded by the Examin- ing Board. They were told that they would have to wait until the yellow fever had been stamped out.
 The announcement of the examinations for the time being has been found ab- absolutely necessary as the office men available for the purpose are limited to Dr. Sanders and Chief Clerk w. R. Brasseil, of the Board of Health. Both of these men, ever since fever broke out in New Orleans have been busily at work with the quarantine of Alabama.
 They are working absolutely for the quarantine and unless other health matters. are of extreme importance they are postponed in favor of the pro- tection of the State against yellow fe- yer invasion which Is paramount to all other considerations at the present. The opportunities to applicants for medical licenses will probably be opened in a month or little more. As soon as the quarantine is able to relax some time may be found for conducting ex- sminations. As 1t is. the only men whose duty 1t is to attend to the exam nations are working days and parts of nights for upholding the quafan- tina,

The main facts of the French retreat

According to Robert Hunter, whose
recent book on Poverty" the result
of several years experience in char

and New York, has attracted much at
tention, at least ten million persons in
the United States are living in con.
dition of acute poverty.
Mr.. Hunter applies the word power

bare sustenance. hui who are not able
to obtain those necessaries that Will

miserable of them are starving or de-
pendent upon charity. Mr.. Hunter, in
his work, says that the total number
OF paupers in the United States in
1891 was about 100000, and he be-
lieves that in the last fourteen years
the number of paupers has increased
to 100000.

HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON
Long Ago One of the Wonders of the
World.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
were anciently reckoned one Of The
wonders of the world. Their construc-
tion is variously ascribed to Queen
Semiramis and to Nebuchadnezzar.
There were five of these gardens, each
with an area of nearly four acres:
they rose in terraces, supported by
masonry arches. to height of sew
enty-five feet. They were irrigated
from a reservoir built at the top, to
which water was lifted from the Eu-
pirates by a screw. Fountains and
throughout the numerous terraces;
groves and avenues of trees, as well as
parterres of flowers, diversified the
scene; whilst the view of the city and
neighborhood were extensive and
beautiful. At what time the gardens
were destroyed is matter of doubt,
but Pliny says that in his day the
scene was one of desolation. Modern
explorers have discovered traces of
the Gardens.

Millions Living in Poverty

were recipients of private or public
charity; that in 1903 almost 20 per-
cent of the people in Boston were In
distress; that IA per cent of the fam
lilies of Manhattan were evicted, and
that every year about 10 per cent OF
those who die in Manhattan have pau
pers' burials.
He adds: "The most conservative
estimate that can fairly be made of
the distress existing in the Industrial
states is IA per cent of the total popu-
lation. while in all probability no less
than 20 per cent of the people In these
states, in ordinarily prosperous years,
are in poverty. This brings us to the
conclusion that one-fifth, or 6.6OO.OOO.
persons in the states of New York.
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Illinois, lndi-
ana and Michigan are in poverty. Tai
ing half of this percentage and apply
ing 1t to other states. many OF which
have important industrial communi-

the conclusion is that not less than
10 ,OO0. 900 persons in the United
States are In poverty
