THRILLING TALE OF THE SEA
A swim for Life and the
ReaCue.

The story OF a marvellous rescue at sea,
which, IL contained I'm a work of fiction,
would be declared impossible. was told by
the officers Of the steamer Carpathia of the
Cunard line. which arrived in New York
September g. The event related happened
800 miles west Of Gibraltar.
Just before the Carpathia sailed from
New York on August a young man APP
preached T. q. Hodgson. the purser, and
asked that he be given a position OF Hun
garian and italian interpreter. in order that
ne might work his passage to Naples. The
man gave his name as Paul Slider and
said he had been in America two years.
About a month before he had received a
letter from friends in F'lume, Hungary,
stating that his wife had broken up his
home and had LEFT with his child. He
wanted to return to his native country In
order to ind his wife and re-estabIish his
home. Purser Hodgson was impressed with
the story and gave him the position.
During the voyage Slider was very cheer
full and did the work exceedingly well.
However. as the steamer neared Gibraltar
he became melancholy and the officers en-
deavored to cheer him up but found 1t
impossible

Slider in the presence OF several passen-
gers. jumped overheard. The ship was
stopped and an electric buoy thrown over
board. A boat was also lowered. Slider
was seen In the moonlight struggling with
the waters. and cried to his rescuers: go
away. Let me drown. I don't want TO
be saved" The men In the boat, however,
rowed toward where he was. but lost sight

but no trace OF him could be found. Then

way from Liverpool TO Naples. takes the
same course as the carpathia, ana while
II was steaming along cries OF Help Save

and small boat was lowered. The man
was picked up and told how he had
Jumped from the carpathia.
In telling his story TO officers OF the
British ship he said that ne saw the res

average lover is a dream rather than
.reality-there Is nothing that puts an edge
on true courtship like opposition. 1t is
the lover who is ordered from, the house,
who Is told never to show his face there
again, who is thrown down a flight of
stairs. who has the dog set on him. who is
forbidden to appear In the part OF the
town where his would-be fsther-in-lnw re-
Sides who 10 cautioned not TO walk on the
same side OF the street with his sweet
hearts big brother-it is this sort of lover
that almost invariably gets the girl.
II the millions of sweethearts whose
fathers have told their lovers to stay away
had taken vows never to see or speak to
a man again, there would have been few
happy marriages. and the race suicide evil
would have been moro pronounced than
II Is.
One cannot help feeling sorry for Caro-
line Osborn, for one can easily see that had
she not taken such a foolish VOW some fell
low would have come along who would
not take her father too seriously He
nearly always comes along. He comes
along at least in seventy-five out of hum
bred cases, and in ct least seventy-five out
of a hundred cases the girl knows he will
come along, and this is what prevents the
frequent occurrence Of such tragedies as
that which is drawing to a close in Bakers
Vile.
On general principles. a lover who will
not continue to call regularly after he has
been elected from his sweetheart's house
who will not get in through the back door
when the front door is closed to him, who
will not take the opposition OF his sweet
hearts father as a matter Of course, and
who will not joke the old gentleman abou,

CONSOLIDATION
OF TWO CITIES
New Question Brought Up Con
corning Annexation of Man
chester and Richmond.
NOT AFRAID OF POWDER
Manchester Wants to Retain Her
Courthouse, Judge and
Clerks Office.
NOT AFRAID OF PoWDE3;

The action of the Council OF Marches
ter at its meeting January 18th, concern
ing consolidation of the cities of Rich
mond and Manchester, necessitated an
other. meeting of the Manchester Rich
nlond joint committee on annexation,
which meeting was held in the Council
chamber last night.
The members present were Messrs. Pol
lard (ehairman), Gunst, Pollock and
Spence. of Richmond and Messrs. Adkins,
Bradley. Jones, Patram and Robertson
of Manchester.
The first thing done was to lear the
reading of the general bill now before
the Legislature. permitting contiguous
cities to consolidate. The committee
seemed to be pleased with the bill as
printed
MIR. Adkins then laid before the com
mittee the Manchester resolution. Briefly
summarized. the resolutions propose:
First. TO inhblt the Council of greater
Richmond from compelling land owners
OF the present city3of Manchester to pay
for paving streets, alleys and opening
alleys and opening and building sewers
and culvcrts and paving sidewalks
Second. They provide that the present
courthouse shall remain in Manchester,
with its clerks office and with its present
Judge and officers
Third. They seek to repeal the city
ordinance of Richmond concerning the
storage of powder and dangerous liquids,
so far as the present territory of Man
chester is concerned.
The discussion on these three propo-
sitions was prolonged ard of a disuItory
character.
Manchester Wins Again.
Mr.. Pollock finally made motion that
the committee recommend to the Rich
mond Council In event of consolidation
that tho city of Richmond shall ex-
enpt the Standard OIL Company, Rich
mond oil Company, Pintsch Gas Com
pany and Manchester Light, Heat und
Power Company from the operation OF
the ordinance contained in Richmond
city code concerning storage Of powder,
dangerous liquids, nitro glycerlne, etc.
The motion was adopted.
Mr.. Pollock also offered a resolution
that IT Is the sense of this committee
that In the event of consolidation this
committee Will recommend to the Rich
mond City Council for adoption the pro-
visions substantially contained In the
ilrst resolution adopted by Manchester as
presented by Mr.. Adkins relating to paw
ing streets, alleys, etc. This resolution
was also adopted.
- .P'oAo'soSo utocuSSlOn u motion
was adopted to tho effect that mas
much as the consolidation measure now
pending IN the General Assembly deals
specifically with the question Of courts
IN the two cities that further considera-
tion OF this matter be postponed until
the Legislature shall have acted on the
The committee then adjourned subject
to the call OF the chairman.
