RISKS LIFE TO SAVE GOOSE.
Man Lowered Down an Old Mine shaft
700 Feet Deep.


From Oxford, Warren county. N j..
comes the story OF Lewis Albert, an
engineer at the mines, says the New
York Herald. who for the sake OF a
goose's life, risked his own for fully
forty minutes in a daring and sensa.
tional manner.
The goose got over the fence OF its
coop, tapped its wings, few over the
opening Of the shaft, which is 700
feet deep, fell into the black hole and
disappeared.
On the following day persons pass
ing the shaft heard sepulchral cries
proceeding from some subterraneous
source. Kemple heard the sounds and
learned Of the gooses plight.
The oil hoisting apparatus was ex.
amined and found to be useless and
the problem arose as to how the bird
was to be rescued. One man lowered
hook and line. to which was attached
a worm, but the goose would not bite.
Then Albert took long rope and,
selecting group Of miners. he bade
them lower him into the mine.
Albert got down about 200 feet and
a minute later there was fierce honk
ing, followed by signal to pull NJ
quickly. Albert soon appeared with
the struggling bird in his arms.

aEIberfeId system" d poor ReIIei.

This mode of relieving distress is
named after the German city that in
stituted it. A town is divided into
districts, and each district under an
honorary agent, is subdivided into
wards, and placed in charge Of vol
urtary helper" usually a person liy-
ing close to the part allotted to him.
Every application for relief must be
made to the helper" of the ward in
which the applicant resides, and be
made personally. 1t is far speedier
il its working than the English sys-
tenn, and also aims at being pre-
ventive as well as a relieving system,
the particular object being to discov-
e. every case OF genuine distress and
to classify and register them when
known and prevent abuse. It has been
adopted by Leicester and Bradford
amorg English towns.
