Miss Maud Stevens Of No. 81 Puntine
street, Jamaica, was saved from a horrible
death by a stranger who declined to give
his name. She was gathering wild grapes,
when her foot slipped and she sank up to
her neclO in soft, oozy mud that threatened
to overwhelm her. Her cries were heard
by a young man driving in a buggy, who
rescued her.
Between Jamaica and Flushing there Is
a dense growth of ferns and vines above
a deep morass. There are grape vines
there, and many people visit the place
yearly to gather the fruit, which is said
to make better preserves than the culti-
waited grapes
When Miss Stevens was rescued her
clothing was stepped In the black mud.
Spreading newspapers on the seat OF his
buggy, her rescuer took the girl home.

New York automobilists who have griev-
ances against the constabulary of nearby
towns think that the limit OF endurance
has been reached when the Yonkers au-
thorities declare that motorists must not
wear goggles. One police magistrate has
already decided that masks, with goggles
in them affected by many chauffeuTs, are
in violation Of the law, on the ground that
thieves might easily resort to the wearing
of these masks to flash through a city
without recognition, and he may interfere
with the practice
The matter of drip pans on automobiles
is another subject that the Yonkers police
are looking into, 1t being alleged that the
oils dropped on the asphalt have a ten
dency TO rot It and cause accidents.
Still another snare for motorists has
been laid In this pretty Hudson river town.
Quarter-mile sections of road have been
marked on at the different entrances OF
town, and three plain clothes men are sta
tioned-one to flag the start. one at the
finish and the third a short distance be-
yond TO make the arrest If the machine is
going faster than the law allows. This
has resulted in a large number of catches,
on one day alone twelve being brought In.

famous New York physician, now hale
and handsome at IS. sums up his half a
century of medical practice and observa-
tion in these simple rules of health: Be
temperate in all things, in matters of
amusement or study as well as in regard
to foods and drinks. To be temperate In
all things, however, does not imply that
one must be a prohibitionist about any
thing Don't be afraid to go to sleep, for
sleep is the best restorer of wasted ener-
gies. Sleep a certain number of hours
every night, and then remember that
short nap during the day is a safer reju-
venator than cocktail. Don't worry either
about the past or the future. To waste
single hour in the regretful past is as sense
less as to send good money after that
which has been irrecoverably lost.

One of the fallow deer, which escaped
from the park of the New York Geological
society in The Bronx some weeks ago. and
which has resisted capture, was cornered
early on Monday by detectives and patrol
men and has been returned to the park
Detectives Dillon and Rappoldt and Pa
trolmen Gaffney and Dunn of the West
chester station saw the deer near West
chester creek, at Bush's coal yard, about
o'clock They chased the deer, and he
ran into the coal yard. The policemen
went after him, closing the gate.
An attempt was made to surround the
deer, when he charged Dunn, carrying
him into the creek, but Dunn clung to the
deers' antlers, and, after a struggle, in
which Dunn was carried across the creek,
the deer was overpowered One, of the
antlers was broken in the struggle.

A LARGELY attended meeting of the Republi-
can State Central Committee of Maryland was
held at the Hotel Rennert in Baltimore, on
Wednesday, at which a number of amend
ments to the party constitution were adopted.
The "home-rule" idea, set forth at the meet
ing of the committee last June, dominated
the gathering and has been incorporated into
the constitution. Each Congressional district
isgiven absolute control over its own primaries,
and with the full concurrence of the repre-
sentatives of the city organization present, a
provision was inserted giving each ward of
Baltimore city the right to select its own mem
Der of the State Central Committee. 1t is
further provided that the State Central Com
mittee shall meet for organization, the prin-
cipal feature of which is the selection of a
chairman, on the first Wednesday in April
1907, and on the same date every two years.
The purpose of this change is to afford better
chance for effective and successful work by
having a greater length of time before the
State elections and in order that the work of
the campaign may not be. held back for the
organization of the committee.

1906 and according to these all sorts of dire
things will happen in different parts of the
world. Spangler claims that be prophesied
the death of Queen Victoria, the assassination
of President Mckinley, the defeat of the Rus
SLAMS by the japanese, the Chicago theatre fire,
the North river steamboat disaster, the cleo
ton of Theodore Roosevelt as President and
other events long prior to their occurrence.

WARREN WEYLER, of the Maryland peni-
Tertiary, in bis report for the past year, makes
an extraordinary showing. The gross receipts
Of that institution were $40, 424.G6 and the
disbursements s103, o3259. This shows that it
is not only selfsupporting. but that it has paid
into the State treasury the snug sum of $780,
49207. The board Of directors, who highly
compliment Mr.. Weyler upon his manage
ment, says: "While this excess of income
over expenditures is the largest in our history,
it is gratifying to state that it has not been ac-
cumulated at the cost of the prisoners, either
by reducing their earnings for overwork or by
lowering the standard of sustenance."

holders. but for their skill in swindling them.
1t comes from their own confession that they
robbed not the vicious, but the helpless. And
the size Of their fortunes gave them immunity.

The B. & o. RAILROAD COMPANY has an
nounced that after the 31st of December, 1905,
it will abolish all forms of free or reduced rates
of transportation. This means no more
passes for anyone except railroad officials.
The abolition of the pass system is based on
the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad which
some time ago announced that with the open
ing of the year the issuing of free transporta-
ton would be stopped.
