LOndOn.-ln view of promised edu-
tational legislation at the present ses-
sion of parliament, the Catholic edu-
cation council has issued a statement
of its position, in which it says that
no settlement of the question will be
accepted by Catholics which denies
to Catholic parents the right to have
for their children Catholic schools in
which the teachers shall be Catholics
and give definite religious instruc-
tions under Catholic control during
school hours.
New Catholic schools, the address
says, must be recognized and main
tanned, and engagements of existing
schools sanctioned where the needs
Of the Catholic population demand.
The Catholic character of Catholic
schools must be safeguarded by re-
tanning the existing proportion and
powers of the foundation managers or
by other effective means.
The settlements must also provide
for the maintenance in existing
Catholic training colleges of pupil
teachers.
Any proposal to lease, rent or as
sign Catholic schools under local ed
ucation authority will be viewed with
anxiety by the council.

HAD NERVES OF STEEL,
Surgeons Perform Difficult Operation
While Hospital Burns.

Bddeford, Me-Seldom has such
bravery and coolness been shown on
the field of battle as that exhibited
| by DR. Nathaniel W. Emerson of
Boylston street, Boston, DR.. Luther A.
Brown of Portland, Dr. Franklin A,
Ferguson of Bath and the corps OF
nurses in attendance at the clinic,
when the Trull hospital was discov.
cred to be on fire AZ $50 Wednesday
| morning.
One Of the hospitals patients, Mrs.
Carrie Spinney of Bath, was on the
operating table, under the influence of
ether, and the surgeons were in the
midst of a serious operation upon her
when the terror-bearing Cry of Fire"
| rang through the corridors.
DR., Emerson had proceeded so far
with the operation that to cease
| meant death to the etherized patient,
so he ordered her removed to one of
the wards on the first floor, where the
operation was completed in full view
OF hundreds of people who had hur
Tled 10 the nOspitaI after tiI1 o,Ios,a,

Water was pouring in streams from
the ceiling and while Dr.. Emerson

nerve for an instant and continued to
work as unconsciously while the floors
above were in flames and the firemen
of Saco and Biddeford were cutting
| holes in the roof and walls to get at
the heart of the fire.
Such bravery and devotion to the
| duty of the moment has never been
displayed in the history of New Eng
land as that shown by Dr.. Emerson.
The Trull hospital. which was
opened May l, 1900, is the only homeo-
pathic institution in Maine, and was
built and owned by DR.. J. Frank Trull,
one of the city's youngest and best
physicians.
The building occupies one of the
highest points of land in the CITY,
commanding a view of the White
mountains and Portland harbor. 1t
is of the old colonial style of the Geor-
gian period, three stories in height, 50
feet front by 48 feet.
Dr. j. Frank Trull said that the loss
on the building would probably be up
ward of $4,000. He carried an in
surance of $1,000.
AT noon before the all out had been
rung in, DR.. Trull had hired the Ken
meth w. Sutherland house on South
street, and made arrangements TO
open temporary hospital there as
soon as the dwelling can be furnished
He said that he would rebuild the
hospital as soon as possible. He has
received the sympathy of all the other
physicians, and every person in the
city has offered aid. The houses Of
the people living in the immediate
vicinity were thrown open to receive
the patients who were turned out

After AutoIstn wIth a Camera.

West Upton, Mass.-Manter j.
Wright the newly elected constable
OF Upton, announces he will make q
speciality OF capturing automobilists
who pass through Upton and West
Upton this summer faster than the
law allows. Wright says he intends
to get after some Of the wealthy
critters that fit through the town as
though they owned IT, He states
that he is not intending to look for
trouble, but he will surely nab" every
automobiist that goes through the
villages without showing respect for
the law.
MI Wright has camera and he
intends to use 1t in his automobile

them" he says, "and | guess that
will do in the courts for evidence. l
guess | can get front and rear view
picture, and I'll bet l can get a pic
ture Of the numbered plate, even"
The new constable says there has
been altogether too much snickering
at us by these chaps and he intends
to make an example Of them. He
wishes it understood that he isn't
looking for notoriety, but says there
is going to be law enforced while he
wears a badge.
The constable unfolds plan of put
ting chalk mark across the roar in
front Of the hotel Pleasant. He then
intends to get picture Of the ma.
chine and its occupants as the auto.
mobile approaches. AS it crosses the
chalk mark he will look at his watch
He will then snap Il rear view picture
of the machine. The remainder of
his work will be to telephone to Up.

asked,
Hit by the machine, eh? Well,

and they won't tip me over Me get

declared the constable, pleased. "Ill
make any driver that knocks me down

weapon"
Mr.. Wright says it will be the east
est thing in the world to get these

he depends great deal on his camera,

Boston-With the arrival of the
steamer Bostonian of the Leyland line,
which tied up at the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad docks,
South Boston, Wednesday afternoon,
there came a most narrowing tale of
the shipwrecked crew of the steamer
British King, which foundered at sea
last Sunday night in lat II degrees,
40 minutes, Ion. GO degrees, II min,
utes, about 500 miles a little south OF
east of Boston.
For more than two days the crow OF
the British King, numbering about sc
men, stood by their vessel, hoping
against hope of being rescued. All
day Sunday the German steamer
Mannheim stood by, ready and anx-
ious to render assistance but unable
to do so because Of the terrific sea.
Finally Sunday afternoon, just be-
fore dark, Capt James O'Hagan and
II of the crew of the British King
were taken from the steamer by Il vol
unteer crew Of seven from the Ley
land line steamer Bostonian. It was
at great peril on the part Of the res.
cuers, and only by overcoming many
obstacles that the lucky IL were taken
from the fast laundering steamer.
Capt. O'Hagan had broken his leg
Saturday and was helpless and suf.
fered terrible agony while being re.
moved to the boat of the rescuers,
and again from that boat to the Bos-
tonian.
Tuesday night, after the storm had
passed over. and when nearing Bos-
ton, Capt. OHagan, after three days
of frightful pain, died. In an impro-
vised coffin of heavy timbers the body
OF the captain was placed and covered
with flag, and was prominent on the
main deck as the Bostonian docked.
OF the crew OF Sc that sailed on the
British King, Is were taken off by the
Bostonian, and just after the British
King sank Sunday night five others
were rescued The German steamer
Monnhetm, according to her signals,
rescued III of the crew and the re-
manning 2S perished in the sea.
The story as told by the survivors
of the terrible eXperience-their two
days battling against the storm and
waves, their noble efforts to render
assistance to the stricken captain,
his pluck and determination to give
orders to assist the men during their
trying times; the realization of two
big steamers near at hand desiring to
give all the possible aid, the many
failures in the endeavor to rescue the
wrecked crew, the smashing of boat
after boat as they were lowered over
the side of the British King, the
swamping of one Of the rescuing boats
from the Bostonian, the success of the
second rescuing boat; the sinking of
the steamer with all who remained on
board, and the miraculous rescuing of
five more of the crew who went down
with the steamer, but came to the
surface and for moment were lloated,
through the aid of a portion of Il cat
tlepen-was told in piecemeal by the
survivors, and in a modest manner,
by officers of the rescuin9 steamer,
the BoStonian.
The fortunate Il who arrived on
the BostOnian were Immediately TAX
en- by Capt. j. Parry Of the BostOnian
to the Office OF the Layland line on
State street, and were given passage
to New York. From there they will
be sent to their homes in Antwerp by
the Phoenix company, owners of the
British King.
