 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,. June 19.- Charles G. Herreshoff, nephew of the noted yacht designer Nat c. Herreshoff and himself a designer of power boats, with his engineer, Edward J. Sherman of this city, was rescued from drowr- ing in Long Island sound off the Bridgeport lighthouse after the power boat Den, owned by George H. Hoad- ley of New York and said to have been the fastest craft Of its kind on the coast, had been wrecked and sunk. The men managed by clinging to a cushion to keep ahoat until Lighthouse Keeper Wright came to their assist ance in launch. They had been in the water about twenty minutes and were almost exhausted. / .-..
 The accident came without warning and was peculiar in it's nature, accord ing to the story told by MT. sherman. He said MT. Herreshoff had taken the boat out for the purpose of testing a new propeller which had just been put in. The Den was running about twen- weight miles an hour and suddenly as it mounted the crest of a wave broke amidships and sank with its ma. chinery, leaving the two occupants struggling in the water.

A UNIQUE TRAGEDY
James w ardell Confesses That
 He Shot His Wife.
SHE DIES OF GAS ASPHYXIATION.
New Yorker and Wife Make Com- pact to Die Together by Inhaling Gas-He Shot Her When Dead,
 Then Weakened.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Under pres sure of merciless examination James Wardell confessed to Coroner Acritelli that in furtherance of suicide pact he shot his wife at the latter's flat in West Twenty-fifth street. At the time of his confession Wardell did not know that an autopsy had disclosed that his wife was dead from Illuminating gas when he fired bullet into her brain.
 Wardell's admissions have added something unusual if not unprecedent- ed to the annals of crime in this city. Just what charge will be based upon his ackSawledgment of an intent to kill the coroner has not made known.
 Mrs. Wardell, who was nineteen years of age and strikingly attractive, was found dead on her bed. Wardell was arrested and told the police that his wife had shot herself after the two had agreed to die together. His cour- age failed him when the time came for self destruction.
 While it vas suspected that Wardell had shot his wife, the autopsy devel- oped that the woman had died from inhaling gas. Finally Wardell broke down and told the truth.
 The two made a street acquaintance four years ago and year later were married. Wardell was then twenty two years of age. They quarreled and eventually separated. Recently War dell returned from Connecticut where he had found work, and, seeking out his wife, urged her to again live with him. Wardell continued:
 "I wanted her to come back and be- gin all over. She wanted to and said she was tired of the life she had been leading, but added that she had found a friend in my absence and would be killed if she returned to me. Then she suggested that we both die together. We planned it all out to Kill ourselves with gas, but she wanted to make sure that we would both die.
 "We fixed it up so that we would turn on the gas. Then if she got un- conscious first and it looked like I couldn't stand to die by the gas I was to shoot her and then shoot myself. If I got unconscious first and she got scared of the gas she was to shoot me and then kill herself.
 "We closed everything up and turn ed on all the gas. I fixed tube in her mouth. We lay down on the bed. She breathed in the gas, and after awhile she looked like she was all in. l was pretty weak, but I climbed over her and started for the door. I was losing my nerve. I dropped to my knees be- cause I was weak and figured that l would be a coward if I didn't carry out the agreement, so I went back to the bed.
 .I felt her, and she seemed to be cold. kissed her. and her lips were cold. Then I took the gun, which had been on my pillow all the time, and shot her in the head.
 After that I turned the gun on my self and pulled the trigger. The first time it didn't go off. tried again, and 1t failed. The third time was an awful struggle, and 1t failed again. was sure 1t would shoot the fourth time, but 1t didn't, and then I lost out"

AN OLD PROvERB.
"A Penny Saved 10 a Penny Earned"
Ia Almost Universal.

Like most Of these wise old proverbs,
"a penny saved Is a penny earned" IS
probably, in some form or other, uni
versal. In Germany there are three
forms Of it-"A penny saved Is penny
gained" c'Ersparter Pfennig ist so gut
vie erworbene'1, "a penny saved is
twopence got'' C'Ein esparter Pfennig
ist zweimal verdient'O and Penny Is
penny's brother" c'Pfennig ist Pfen-
nig's Bruder'). In Spanish, "a penny
spared Is penny saved" C'Quien come
y dexa, dos veces pone la mesaO. In
Dutch, "a penny spared is better than
form gained" CEen stulver gespaard
is better dan cen gulden gewonnen'o.
In Danish, "a penny in time is as good
as dollar" CEN SHILLING er Tide "na
god som en- Daler'O. In French, &
ing is getting" C"Qui epargne, gagne").
Similarly in German, Saving is a
greater art than gaining ("Sparen ist
grossere kunst ais erwerben"). Danish,
Money saved Is as good as money
gained" c'Den Penge man sparer er
saa god som den man avler'o. Italian,
Money is moneys brother" ('Il danaro
fratello del danaro'O. But money is
no gain when it advances meacocks'
cDeniers avancent les bediers'O. Eng.
lish, Penny and penny laid up will be
many" and "Who will not keep pen.

prodigal of little can never have O

SOME BIG BITES.
They Show the Power Of the Jaws Of
the Crocodile.

They Show the Power Of the Jaws Of
the Crocodile.
The power Of the jaws Of the croco-
dile is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
in his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
of large hook the thickness Of ordina-
ry telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap Of the jaws when selling
live duck which he had used as a
bait, the book being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish Weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as II divided by knife.
This, again, was the work Of the snap
Of the Jaws of a crocodile.
A Frenchman, NJ. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength Of a
crocodile's jaws by means Of dyna-
mometer. He found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted force Of
308 pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. On
one occasion an African traveller push
ed the butt end Of his gun into lions
mouth, and the pressure Of the Jaws
cracked 1t as though 1t had been struck
by a steam hammer.
