ANDY AND THE DIvyLE.
Scottish Satire on Carnegie the Organ
Giver-University Trust INDICATED.

London, Dec. 20.--Mr. Carnegie's
various libraries have evoked many cen.
sures, but none more severe than one
now laid upon him Of being in league
with Satan This has become tradi
ton in some Of the remoter parts Of
the Highlands and in the Hebrides.
Andy, as Mr.. Carnegie is universally
called has, according TO his tradition,
entered into pact with the evil one to
destroy Scottish religion by spreading
the use Of musical instruments and
man made hymns
II is said that before returning to his
native country he asked Satan how he
could best aid him, whether he should
make folks dance, build theatres in
every parish or teach them to play
cards
~Na, ma, Andy replied Satan, "tali
a kist Of whistles 70 ilka kirk [Put an
organ in every chapel. Then my wurk
will gang weel aneaueh"
The fact that Mr.. Carnegie has pre-.
sented organs TO many churches In al
parts Of Scotland, introducing instru
mental music and modern hymns where
formerly only psalms were vocally rem
dered, is taken as proof of the fulfill
ment Of the compact.

MRS. PATTERSON A HEROINE.
Lighthouse Keepers Wife Makes Hazard
Gus Trip to Save Crew Of Ship.

v Washington, Dec. 26.-The American
consul at Victoria, b. c. in reporting to
the state department the loss Of the
American bark Coloma Of San Francisco,
which occurred off Vancouver island on
the 9TH, gives d graphic story Of the
rescue Of the crew. The report says:
After the crew had been struggling in
the water for ~ hours, the signals Of
distress we're seen in the early morning
by the lighthouse keeper at Cape Beale,
Vancouver island. and the keepers wife,
Mrs. Minnie Patterson, started for BAN
field, FIVE miles away, where the British
steamer Quadra fortunately had steam
ei. She put out at once to rescue the
men OF the CoIoma. The sea was very
rough. but all 10 Of the shipwrecked
men were finally rescued by volunteers
OF the Quadra.
Special praise is due to Mrs. Patter-
son. whose trip TO Bamfeld was Of most
heroic exertion. 1t took her four hours
of hard struggle to make the trip, which
completely exhausted her. The path over
which she had to 90 was nothing more
than a trail, and the heavy weather had
made ii very wet. A man who went over
I it q day or two later describes it as lit
tie better than bog, and he said he
wore out pair Of shoes in making the
trip. and tore his clothes badly.

COACHING AN IMpoRrANr JOB.
sJake' stahl Says Poor Directing Is as
Harmful as Bad Pitching. 4.

Poor coaching hurts teams chances
as much as poor pitching, according to
aJake" Stahl Of Washington. He says
losses that result from bad directing
oanse greater soreness than anything
else. To illustrate the damage which
poor coaching can do, Stahl cites a game
between Washington and 81, Louis last
season. The coacher, by stopping the
gunner, prevented a run from being
scored which would have wone the game.
Tinker Of Chicago agrees with stahl.
SJoe" Cantillion says It one of the hard
est things IN baseball for a coacher on
the third base line to tell whether a
base runner should be directed to hold
third to go home when the ball il being
handled by the field. That's GER
tainly splitting hairs" says CantilIion,
@when a runner Is reaching third and
an outfeider II Just scooping ia a hit.
The coaehcr must make up his mind in
the fraction of a second. The game
may be depending on whether he sig
halls a runner to keep going or to stop.
He must take into consideration the
throwing power Of the fielder, the speed
Of his team mate on the bases and a
Aozen other things. II requires the
quickest thinking that comes up in the
whole game"

MARROW ESCAPE FOR CHILD.
Oil Stove Exploded Throwing Burning
Oil on Her Clothes.

Rutland. Dee. 26.--It was learned on
Monday that Myrtle, the eight-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs, Mark IN. john
son, who live Oh the outskirts of this
city. had remarkable escape from burn
ing to death Sunday night The mother
lighted an oil stove III the girls bed
room and left the child to prepare for
bed. Attracted by the girls screams
she returned in few minutes to find
that the stove had exploded and Myr-
ties night dress was mass Of flames.
Mr.. johnson threw rug around the
child, carried her into an uncarpeted
room and with some old coats managed
To smother the flames. Although her
hair was burned off and her skin badly
singed, 50 prompt was the action Of the
parents, that ii ii believed that the girl
will recover. Mr. johnson and Frank
Chapman, tenant, who threw the
stove ont Of the window, were severely
burned about the hands.
Rutland had two other accidents Sun
day George Frappier, while whiting,

met Mrs. Bryce's cabinet receptions have
been notable for their geniaIity. The
opinion Is growing stronger in official
and diplomatic circles at London that
Mr.. Bryce will be named head Of the
British delegation to the next Hague
peace conference, and II IN pointed ont
that this will be another evidence of
Great Rritains desire To cooperate with
the United States as Mr.. Bryee's pres
ence in Washington prior TO going to The
Hague win permit OF an arrangement
for the pursuance Of Joint policy there.
1t Il expected that France will join In
the same movement, thus permitting the
United States, Great Britain and France
together to exercise an important infiu,
ence on the final results TO be achieved
at The Hague.
Reports have been recently in circula-
ton in certain capitals Of Europe to the
effect that Great Britain was opposed
to the American plan Of submitting the
Drago doctrine 20 the Hague tribunal.
but the official exchanges going on in
London have not disclosed the slightest
opposition on the part Of Great Britain
to this step. On the contrary, the in
dications are that Great Britain IL ready
10 submit the question 81 the Drago
doctrine, which provides that no power
can collect debt OF its citizens from
another power BY force of arms, TO the
conference, hut reserving final action
thereon until II has been discussed No
definite arrangements, however, regard
ing the questions 10 be submitted at
The Hague have yet been made, and Mr.
Bryce's presence in Washington and his
probable appointment TO head the British
delegation to The Hague. are expected
TO contribute 10 an arrangement where
by Great Britain and the United States
may act along parallel lines.
