A Miraculous Rescue.

The old saw that truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction is proven once more
in the miraculous escape of a New York
shop girl from drowning. With party OF
registering friends she was upset In a
boat down the bay. A heavy scow was
passing and the girl was sucked under ii
as she plunged into the sea. Three of the
party were drowned and the rest got
ashore Those who escaped with their lives
had given the shop girl up for dead, when
they were amazed to hear that she had
been rescued.
When the crew of the scow had dumped
its cargo of garbage far out at sea they
had neglected to close the iron shut
tiers that cover the dumping pocket When
the girl sank beneath the scow she was
swept straight into this pocket. She clune
to a chain for an hour and a half until the
scow reached It's pier and the crew dis

The New York Claimants.

It's very dull day that doesn't bring to
New York claimant to a large part
of this little old town. This time 1t Is
the heirs of one Robert Edwards, who lay
claim to $312, 000,0O0 worth of property in
the Broadway and Wall street district
Mrs. Brown of Des Moine5 is the spokes-
woman for the heirs, and they have an
nouneed with amazing confidence that
the sixty-two acres demanded shall be
turned over to them Immediately. The
land Is said to have been leased by Rob
ert Edwards to Aaron Burr Edwards
came from the village of Llansamlet
rear Swansea, Wales, at the beginning Of
the Nineteenth century
The last claimants heard from prior
to the group represented by Mrs Brown
of Des Moines were the heirs of Abraham
Van Horn, once of New Amsterdam. They
desired a 100000 900 slice of New York,
asserting that they had found their title
in an old family Bible. The next to APP
pear was Joseph II. Cowan of Texas, who
came along in August, 1905, representing
about 300 scattered heirs of Andrew
Hartzfeder. They wanted al 1.-The land be-
tween Seventy-ffth and Eghty-siXth
streets, Riverside Drive and Second ave-
nue., which takes in "A big parcel of Cen
trail Park. Mr.. Hartzfelder, it was said,
had leased this property to the city in
1895 for ninetyfve years and day
But the most famous claimants are the
Happy Heirs of all Harlem led by
Henry Pennington Toler. Their tmid re-
quest is for 49, eco, 900, 900 worth of prop
erty between Seventy-fourth and One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth streets, and
the North and East rivers. Nobody but
the claimants ever read their titles clear;
they get their names In the papers. GO
back home and New York goes on about
its business.

delay of a train bearing number of
child with her bewitching, large and in
nocent blue eyes and long, curly locks
came to the rescue and saved the day
The delay of the train was due to the
superstition of Mrs. Charles Fielding of
Atlanta, and the little child that solved the
problem was the baby daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. l.. Johnson of New Orleans.
Members of the party had been spend
ing the summer at the Franklin, at Bre-
ward, the gateway to the beautiful sap

hotel closed for the season the hotel cut
up posted card bearing the word skid

were departing, 1t was discovered that
there were exactly twenty-three at the
hotel at the time II closed. Capt. Hugh
Williams, who fought his way to fame
and the hospital in TIE Philippines, man
ager of the hotel prepared to bring a
party into the mountains to Lake Toxa-
way. to spend the remainder of the sea-
son at the Inn. A special ear had been
provided and when the train was ready to
start. Mrs. Fielding prepared to leave the
COACH saying she would take later train.

was Friday. and declared it was also the
thirteenth day of the month Consequent
" she would never go on that train.
The bell was ringing. the conductor was
impatient Mrs. Fielding was on the lower
step of the car and Manager Williams
was endeavoring to induce her to re-
main on board. Everyone counted the
whole party and Mrs Fielding's count
was proven correct: there was no dis
putting that it was Friday, but it was one
day later than the thirteenth. While the
conductor waited, one of the men rum
mayed through his pocket and found
calendar, proving 1t was the fourteenth
Still, Mrs. Fielding and almost every
other member of the party were per-
turbed by there being thirteen in the
party. The conductor had shouted all
aboard for the last time and gave the
signal to start, the train by that time
having been delayed nearly two minutes.
Mrs. Fielding had reached the platform
and another lady was about to join her
for company, when her attention was at
tracted by the waving of a tiny hand
from the window of a drawing room of
the coach. "Why, there's little baby

Newspapers In Japan.

Mary Crawford Fraser in the Worlds
Work.
In Japan there were already in 1892, 1928
newspapers, dailies and others, the high
est circulation of any one paper reaching
a quarter of a million. Among the lower
classes one paper is read, as far as | have
been able to observe, by five or six per-
sons A very few of the older people can
not read, but all the younger generation
can. The most eager interest is taken not
only In stirring public events, but in adj
ministrative measures such as the very
recent naturalization of the railways.
Every newspaper posts its daily issue in
the street, and all day long groups of
readers, too poor to buy copy, replace
each other to scan the news of the day.
Discussion runs high among people who
are far below the voters level, though
every male over % years of age and pay
ing a direct tax of 10 yen $50 is entitled
to vote. The rights of discussion, public
assembly, and publication are as full and
as fully taken advantage of as in Eng
land.

New York, September 22.-New York
city elections produce strange results.
Last year William Travers Jerome was
elected district attorney of this county
despite the fact that he had been turn
ed down by both party organizations. His
plurality was so great that his victory
was commented upon all over the conn-
try as a mighty swat at boss-rule. The
event was said to be the beginning of
the end of bosses in both parties.
On Tuesday the city primaries both re-
publican and democratic, were held for
the election of assembly district leaders
In considering the result 1t must be re-
mebered that normally the city is demo-
cratic and that Mr.. Jerome, in winning
his great victory, had to poll the biggest
part of the Tammany vote. In Tuesday,
primaries Charles f. Murphy, the leader
of Tammany the man who refused to
have Jerome on the democratic ticket, was
able to hold his own Opposing him We're
Mayor Mcclellan and the Sullivans, Big
Tim" and Little Tim" If the opposition
wins in the final test for the control of
Tammany it will be by a small mar
gin. Murphy however, SttHs " liANS al
excellent chance. Both sides of course,
claim the victory, but it cannot be set
tied until there is a meeting of the Tam
many general committee.
What makes the fact stranger tn
Murphy even held his own is that he has
no patronage at his command, although
Mayor Mcclellan was elected as Tam
many candidate % Long ago the Mayor
ceased to appoint Murphy men to office
and he has weeded out most Of those
who held jobs. The contest within Tam
