A Heroic Negro.

An incident of heroIsm on the
part of a negro, by which the lives
of two ladies' were saved. hap
pcned in Shreveport on Texas
street last week. The Times gives
this statement of the rescue:
The heroism of an unknown
negro saved two ladies from
Il, ath under the wheels. of a
westbound Parkview car in
Texas street yesterday afternoon.
BY sheer pluck and daring the
negro snatched them from the
jaws of death at the risk of his
own life.
According to statements of eye
witnesses. the ladies had started
to cross the street, as the ear
came down without sounding the
gong. They did not see the car
approadching, and would never
have seen it until it struck them.
The negro was waiting to catch
the car. He saw the ladies, un-
conscious of their danger, looking
in the opposite direction from the
car. The efforts of the motor
man to stop would have been all
Ia vain, for there wis so much
noise in the street that neither
the car bell nor the shouts of
warning would have reached
them in time. The negro took
in the situation ut a glance and
made a dash for them. lie ran
directly in front of the car and.
throwing out both arms. caught
each lady around the waist and
fell forward. forcing them from
the track just as the car passed
like yellow flash.
For a moment the two ladies'
were mortified because the Negro
had caught them, thinking he was
crazy or drunk, but before he
could explain they heard the
shouts aud saw the car had
almost grazed their backs. Then
one of them nearly fainted from
fright.
In the excitement that fol-
lowed the negro waIke'l of and IN
spite OF the efforts of several
gentlemen TO learn his name or
something about hun his identity
remains unknown.
The negro's act was Witnessed
By 2 number Of persons. =

ALBANY POUNDS NEW SCHOOL.
Described as "ManuaI Training With
 an AvocationaI Purpose"


 Albany, N. T., Nov. 23.-Industrial education in the elementary schools with an eye to preparation for the in' dustrial trades has been adopted as a policy by the educational authorities of the city of Albany. which is said to be the first city in this country to take this step.
 The board of education has commit ted itself to the idea, has asked and the board of estimate has now allowed an initial appropriation with which to make a beginning in one school. The plan is to establish eventually several elementary industrial schools in vari ous parts of the city, with an indus trial high school to crown the system.
 Manual training has had place in the Albany schools for some years. The new plan is far more fundamental and far reaching and may be described as "mrnual training with an avoca- tional purpose"
 While shop work for boys and the domestic arts for girls will constitute the first industrial course to be intro duced, these are regarded as only the first steps in a comprehensive pro, gramme covering all of the leading in' Gustries of this section.

ENDS MAIDEN VOYAGE.
Giant Mauretania Arrives With Mark
 For One Day Run.

New York. Nov. 23-Bearing evi- dence of her conflict with gigantic seas during the greater part of her voyage, the Mauretania, newest of the Gu hard lines fleet. sister ship of the Lu- sitania, which she displaces as the largest vessel in the world, came into port late yesterday afternoon.
 During the middle of the day the vessel lay at anchor for hours just outside the bar So thick was the fog into which she had run about 4 o'clock in the morning and so long did 1t last that Captain John Pritchard, her commander, caused this notice to be posted in various places about the ship:
 Owing to delay by fog and insuffi- cient water to cross the bar, the cap tain regrets he will be unable to land the passengers until Saturday morn ing"
 It was not until after half past 2 o'clock that the fog showed signs of lifting, and Captain Pritchard decided to attempt the Ambrose channel, though there was only half tide and the big ship was drawing thirty-three feet of water. As the Mauretania was getting under way the Baltic of the White Star line. which had been pass ed Thursday night came along and passed in. Quickly the Cunardel speeded up. caught the other vesse and got first into quarantine.
 According to the vessels official log the Mauretania arrived at Sandy Hook 1 lightship at thirteen minutes past Il o'clock. The distance of 2,1S0 mile: from Daunt's rock was covered in days hours 10 minutes. at an average speed of 22.21 miles. Her best days run was completed on Thursday, a' told in wireless dispatches, when sh' beat the record of 61S miles, made b! the Lusltania. by six miles.
 Captain Pritchard expressed himsel as greatly pleased with the ship.

CLOSE EXCHANGE, HE SAYS.
Pittsburser Tells Governor Hughes 1t
 Is a Gambling Institution.

Pittsburg, Nov. 23.-Clarence V. Tiers, connected with a Pittsburg banking house. has sent letter to Governor Hughes of New York saying:
 You are of course aware that every possible effort is now being made to prevent the spread of the financial panic and bring hoarded money from its hiding places. These efforts are being greatly handicapped by the fact that money placed into circulation is quickly absorbed by Wall street spec ulators who outbid business men and thus prevent it from being used for legitimate purposes.
 ''I therefore respectfully urge you to use the authority invested in you to clese at least temporarily the New York stock exchange on the ground that it is a gambling institution and a menace to the public welfare"

Eaton Forgot About His Electric De-
 vice and Receives Full Current.
 Winsted, Conn.,, Nov. 23.-George W. Eaton, an inventive member of the To- cal police force, proved by example that his chicken house burglar alarm is painful success. Eaton himself was the victim. He has q hennery some distance from his home on the side of steep hill. Fearing that chicken thieves would visit it around Thanksgiving. he wired the coop for burglars. The wires carried liberal measure of electric current both as a shocker and as bell ringer.
 Eaton went out to his chicken coop, forgetting his burglar alarm. He grasped the gate, which was hltched to a wire, and he got the full strength of the Winsted Light, Heat and Power company through his body. He rolled and kicked, and several inquisitive hens went too near and got shocked to death. Eaton exhibited several burns later in the day.

LABOR MEN ARRESTED
Some Two Hundred Cuban Lead.
 CTS Placed In Jail.
MAY CALL ON RURAL GUARDS
Wholesale Arrests Made In Havana Following News of Plot to Arm Strikers-Threats to Fire on Work ina Masons Decided Authorities.

Havana, Nov 23.-Two hundred Fed eration of Labor leaders who are di- recting the masons' strike were ar rested and thrown into jail yesterday. following riots in the streets and threats that the strikers would be armed and fire on the working masons today.
 Quick action by Judge Miyeres of the central district court of Havana is believed to have nipped in the bud serious conspiracy. The rural guard and the police are under arms at all points where building is going on to quell any disorder.
 Arrest of the labor leaders was made at a meeting at the federation head quarters when the police and rural guard surrounded the building, seized all who were at the meeting. took pos session of the house and carried off all documents found there. A plot for the 1 arming of the strikers is said to be revealed in them.
 Emilio Sanchez, president of the fed eration. and Felciano Prieto. an agi' tator, who were arrested and released on bail. were rearrested and will be held now until tried. The first charge was conspiracy to alter the price ot labor" punishable under the extani Spanish law, but the second charge will be more serious.
 Riots In City Streets.
 Serious riots have occurred at build ings where masons have appeared fol work. and there were a dozen fights il Havana's streets. The number of meT willing to work Is large. but threats by the strikers and strict ''picketing' oi buildings under construction have tieC LID progress on them. Owners OI houses, architects and builders ap pealed to Judge Miyeres for permis sion to arm their men when the threa was made that the strikers would us' rifles today. and this decided the judg' to take action at once.
 Governor MagoOn believes the ru rales and the police have the situation , well in hand. but is reported to b ready to order American troops on tn scene if the riots grow serious. It i
 believed. however. that the loss O their leaders will break the courage O the men.
 There is serious alarm at the situa tion all over Havana Until today tn strikers had practically terrorized tn entire labOring community. and thei 5 effort was said to be for a genera strike of all trades.
