TALE OF HEROISM
ON THE HIGH Seas
BRAVE RESCUE OF TWO MEN 1Y
A GREEK DEcKHAND ON
OCEAN TUG.
Twice Darss Fierce Gale-Saves Cap
tain and Seaman Of Foundering
Barge When No One Else volun-
teered for the Deed.

Providence, r. l., Dec. ia tale
Of heroism seldom surpassed was
brought to this port Monday by the
tug Walter A. Luckenbach.
When every other man on board
the tug declined to risk his life in an
effort to rescue two men on the found
ering barge Buena Ventura, which
was in tow Of the Luckenbach. Nit
chell B. Bruso, Greek seaman,
stepped up to Capt. John Daley and
said that he would make the trip
alone.
In small boat, at the height of a
fierce northeast gale, Bruso rowed to
the barge and rescued the captain,
Ole Owarsond, whom he found frozen
to the topmast. AS soon as he had
placed the helpless captain on board
the tug, without moments rest and
covered with coating OF ice from
head to foot Bruso put out again and
released Seaman Charles Martin, who
was frozen to flooring hatch on
which he had been carried away from
the sinking barge. These two men,
of crew of five, were the only ones
to escape death. The drowned were:
8. Peterson, engineer, address un-
known; John Mallett, deckhand, ad-
dress unknown, and a deckhand
known as Jack, home in Fall River,
Mass.
The heroism of Bruso was looked
upon by his shipmates as no less re-
markable than his escape from death
in the little boat which every moment
seemed likely to be swamped by the
mountainous waves.
Barge a Spanish War Prize.
The barge from which three men
met death was, before being convert
ed for the coal carrying trade, a Span
ish tramp steamer. She was the first
prize of the United States navy, i'm
mediately after the war with Spain
broke out, the gunboat Nashville cap
turing her while she was bound for
Cuban ports.
The Buena Ventura, GOAL laden, was
the last Of a tow of three barges
which left Norfolk, Va, in tow Of the
Luckenbach. On Thursday a terrific
gale, with vicious sea and a biting
temperature had developed, but Capt.
Daley had made steady progress. He
was of Montauk last Friday morning
when he discovered that the Buena
Ventura, who at times he had been
unable to see, was wallowing In the
sea and in imminent danger. She was
flying distress signal.
Barge Was Foundering.
Immediately the captain cut adrift
the two foremost barges and steamed
at full speed toward the endangered
vessel. Even as he raced back at top
speed the captain saw huge wave
hit the barge, and moment later she
was sinking. Capt. Owarsond rushed
from the wheel house and climbed the
foremast and lashed himself to the
rigging in the crows nest. Almost at
the same moment the watchers on
board the tug saw man go over
board, but he soon pulled himself on
board a floating hatch. AS the tug
neared the sunken barge only the top
mast to which the captain was fas-
tened, was out of water. Wave after
wave washed over him, and ice en-
cased him, making him prisoner more
effectively than did the ropes which
bound him.
Capt Daley assembled his crew
and called for volunteers to man a
boat and go to the assistance of their
fellow seamen. Only Bruso responded.

Reform spelling as an official quan- tity has disappeared from the govern ment equation for the time being at any rate. Congress has declared that 1t will stick to the standard rules of orthography and the president with out any poignant regret has told Rep. resentative Iandis of the joint priut- ing committee that he will repeal Lis recent executive order and hereafter let the government printing office do its spelling after the accepted manner of the standard dictionaries. This outcome of the reformation discus- sion has been in sight for some time. The president was fully prepared for It and surrendered as discretion, talk ing the whole matter rather as a joke. In short time copies of government documents spelled in the simple form will be something of a bibliographic rarity. But the president says that he reserves to himself the right to use simplitied spelling in his private cor. respondence and will continue to do so in the future.

FEW EARLY MARRIAGES NOW.
Men and Women Await Arrival of
 Years of Discretion.

The marrying age is steadily re ceding, and 1t is quite within the range of probability that fl will be regarded in the future as the equiva. lent of the present 21.
 This is partly due to the keenness of the struggle for existence; man desires to attain position before marrying, and he finds the years slipping by with disturbing rapidity while he is climbing the ladder.
 Both men and women too, fear that they may be deceived and many enter into partnership with one who will turn out to be undesirable.
 So they will spend the earlier years and then the glamor of his single life will wear of. They will have gained experience enough to enable them to judge character with fair accuracy, and then will thus be less fearful of being taken in.''
 They will feel that after all, 1t Is better to settle down with . partner. And then marriage will come in mid dle age. The love making will not be the same, but it may we'll be a more solid fire-Quieter, but more enduring.

The United States department of agriculture in its last report just out says that administrative control of the forest reserves is beneficial to the grazing industry. The sentiment of stockmen throughout the west Is uni tedly in favor of such control, because of the gain to them now that the re- serve ranges are safe from over crowding and deterioration. Thus the rights of the individual user are re- spected, and the permanence of this great resource Is assured. wish to commend particularly in this connec- tion the hearriness and good spirit with which the associations of west ern stockmen have co-operated in our effort to enforce fair and just IT cas- ures for the regulation of grazing in the interest of all users of the forests. and in the interest of the public, to whom these forests belong. The charge of grazing fee. made for the first time during the past year. though reasonable in view of the ad
 vantages of grazing regulation to the stockmen and the cost of reserve ad- ministration to the government. and justly due in the interest of the pub- lie, might have been expected Co cause dissatisfaction and friction. On the contrary. as soon as the reasons for the charge end the method i'm which it would be applied had been explained, it was generally approved and paid willingly and promtply. It wss followed by no fslIing of in the number of stock zrszed in the re- serves. In some cases the assOcia- tions 9f stockmen have voluntarily aided the service in settling local diff faculties. The whole conduct has shown remarkable moderation. far sightedness. and readiness to recog- nize and accept what Is in the per- manent interest of ihei- industry. cr- en though it involves the sacrihce of personal sdvsntsge.

There is very little prospect of an extra session to consider tariff reyi- sion. It has been recognized all along that there was no hope of revision legislation during the short ses- sion, but delegations have called on the president from many of the factory centers of New England and throughout the middle west to urge the propriety of his assembling an extra session after the 4th of March to take up the whole subject of tariff readjustment. The president has not yet said positively that he will not do this, but all of the indications are against it and it is not likely that an extra session will follow the last session of the 59th congress.

Delaware Insurance Co. Has Had
Enough of California

San Francisco. Cal. June 16.-The
Examiner says:
The latest addition to the list of in
surance companies that have decided
to withdraw from business on the
coast is the Delaware of Philadelphia
The Delaware is an old established
concern. It was organized in Phila-
delphia in 1895. It has done business
in California for number of years. 1t
announces that while it is the com
pany's intention to adjust all losses, it
will not pay more than rs cents on the
dollar in any instance.
J. W. Brooks, manager of the west
ern department OF the Delaware, is
here from Chicago, and is in charge Of
affairs. He makes no concealment Of
his company's intention to withdraw
any discount losses.
The 80 insurance companies that re-
jected the suggestion Of a rs cent com
promise put forward by 81 of their
associates in the underwriters bureau,
have received two additions to their
number. The Insurance company Of
North America and the Niagara of
New York have announced tht they
will pay up dollar for dollar on their
losses.
