LIFE WAS SAVED
MIRACULOUSLY,

Jacob Souder, a we'll known resi-
dent of this city, had a very narrow
escape from drowning in the Cohan-
sey river on Thursday.
His experience was a thrilling one,
and that he is alive is little less than
miraculous.
Mr.. Souder spends much of the
spring time in fishing for shad in the
river, and he was thus engaged on
Thursday. His net was set in the
river, and in his skiff he was working
it.
Capt. Lewis M. Campbell, in com
msnd of the steam barge "Frank NJ
Riley" came along, with the barge
"John Martin" in tow. Souder made
every effort to get his net out of the
way of the steamer bus did not have
time. and without haIting the steamer
crashed into Souder's skiff, turning it
over, and running the net.
Those on board the steam barge felt
that Souder was lost, as they figured
he must come up underneath the boat,
and in that case it would be impos-
sible for him to escape.
The steamer kept on it's course
| down this river.
When the crash came, Souder, with
| rare presence of mind, made wild
grab to catch hold of one of the find
ers hanging down by the steamer s
side. He managed to catch one, and
| held on with the desperation of a
man fighting for his life. He called
for help, but the noise of the steamer
drowned his cries, and nc one came to
his rescue.
By heroic effort Mr.. Souder finally
worked his way to the deck of the
steamer where he fell in an exhausted
condition.
The rescued man was carried on by
| the steamer for some distance, wher
| he was handed over from the steamer
to some fishermen in the river, and
finally was able to make his way back
home. The shock was a very severe
one to the victim of the almost fatal
aonidnnt

The defence in the suit of DR..

E Heudee was that the money for which
the note sued on was given was for
the purpose Of paying a balance of
1920 which Walter d. Wilson was
lE nshort' to the Township of Lands.
Mr.. Hendee was put on the stand
and said that Walter D. Wilson was
short s9920 on the 18th of May, 1904,
and that Walter Wilson and his
brother, DR.. Charles W. Wilson. came
to his fatheT's home-Judge Eli b.
Hendee-and there it was arranged
that if Judge Hendee would take care
Of the $4,000, DR.. Wilson personally
agreed to raise the $780,
This was done, Judge Hendee raised
the $4,000 and DR.. Wilson raised the
balance by the note with Harry Hen
W dee on which lie now sues.
H Judge Eli b. Hendee was called to
W the stand.
I'D He stated that they came to him to
# aid in keeping Walter d. Wilson out
of jail, Dr. Wilson and Walter calling

Says the Words In God We
Trust are IrreVerent Used
To RidicuIe.
HOPE 1T WILL NOT Be REPLACED

WASHINGTON, Noy. 13:-''In
God we trust" is not TO be upon any
United States coin designed in the
future if President Roosevelt can pre-
vent it. He has written vigorous
letter on the subject, copies of which
will be mailed TO all correspondents
who sent him a protest on the abb
sence of the words on the new gold
pieces.
In the letter the President says he
does not approve OF the motto on
coinage. The use of it is irreverent,
he says, and is dangerously close to
sacrilege. It is emimently unwise
ito cheaper such motto by its use on
coins. All my life. the President
declares, Il never heard any human
being speak reverently of the motto
on coins. Throughout the long con-
test for free coinage the question oi
the existence of this motto was con.
stant source of jest and ridicule. II
congress directs me TO replace on
coins the sentence in question the
direction will be Immediately put into
effect, but | earnestly trust the re-
ligious sentiment and spirit of rever-
ence in the country will prevent such
action being taken.

ROME, Nov. 12:--The Vatican au-
thorities have been informed of the
attitude taken by Archbishop Farley,
of New York, regarding the proposed
celebration of the marriage of Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt and Count Laszlo
Szechenyl. 1t is understood here that
the Holy See, as matter of ordinary
procedure, approves every action of
the archbishop tending to empha-
size the authority of the church and
maintain the rigidity of her rules.
Archbishop Farley takes the stand
that the first and only religious mar
riage ceremony must be that of the
Catholic church.
According to the wedding plans Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, ST., brother of
the late Cornelius and uncle of Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt, will give her
away when she weds the Count early
in December. 1t is said that Mr.
Vanderbilt, with the unfortunate
marriage of his daughter, the Ouch
ess of Marlborough in mind, has used
his influence to have Miss Gladys
millions tied up in such a way that
they will always remain in the con-
troll of the Vanderbilt family.

MORE HELP AT

Postmaster Tice reports that the
local post Office continues to grow in
its volume of business. Mr.. Tice is
now making every endeavor to have
another substitute added to the force.

an application was made yesterday
The postmaster says that the busi-

greatly increased ii some of the large
concerns here would buy the stamps
they use for outgoing mail, here.
Instead, the postmaster states, many
of them buy their stamps in New
York, usually through their New
York offices, and they are then sent
to this city to be used. In nut
she'll, the postmaster says the large
cities sell the stamps and we do the
work.
