SAVED FROM DEATH.
Robera f. Sands Rescues Two Men
From Suffocation.

Robera f. Sands Rescues Two Men
From Suffocation.
The desire of Robert f. Sands and
A. W. Bell to see what was in the
ejector chamber at Speedwell on
Thursday morning, probably saved
the lives of two men who were at
work painting the interior. They had
been supervising the laying of Dusto-
line on the north hill and stopped at
the mouth of the chamber Eugene
Kelley, who was working inside, in
vited him to come down and see the
machinery. Mr.. Sands went down
and at once noticed peculiar odor,
then saw a man lying on a pile of lum-
ber. Kelly did not know what was
the matter with him and acted
strangely himself, and Mr.. Sands came
to the conclusion that they were both
suffering from the effects of the gas
or whatever it was that smelled as it
did, particularly so as Mr.. Sands felt
the influence of the gas himself.
With difficulty the man on the lum-
Der pile was moved to the mouth of
the chamber and the reins from Mr..
Sands horse were secured with which
to raise him to the surface. He was a
Scotchman, who had been stopping at
the Market Street Mission for the past
week, his name being Arthur Wright.
The ambulance was called and he was
taken to All. Souls Hospital. Kelly
soon revived when brought to the sur
face and declared that he belived he
would have fallen as had his compan-
ion in few minutes.
Mr.. Clark, who is in charge of the
waterproofing says that the paint is
is not to blame for the trouble. The
men had been at work with the ma
terial for several days under similar
conditions with no bad effect. 1t is
his opinion that leaky gas main
somewhere permitted gas to get into
the sewer tiles and back up into the
chamber.

A CHURCH EXPERIMENT.
The Audiences Free TO Ask Questions
and Make Remarks.


A subscriber sends the following
with the request that it be printed.
He says ." In my opinion it will fill the
churches and will also make them
stick to their text"
In line with recent Sunday night
gatherings in Cooper Union and many
city churches an experiment will be
tried at Christ Church, in Thirty
sixth street, between Eight and Ninth
avenues, New York, next Sunday.
The regular evening service will be
given in the assembly hall of the
church house.
These meetings, at which the audi
ence will be free to ask questions or
make brief remarks, are the outcome
of conference held in the Twenty
third street Y. M. G. A. as to "the IT,
difference of the average man to relig-
iouS services" Practically every Pro-
testant church on the West Side be-
low Forty-second street was repre-
sented.
The Rev. DR.. George W. Knox, act
ing president Of Union Seminary, de-
clared he found men always interested
and ready to discuss religious ques-
tions.
"They are generally unwilling, y
said DR.. Knox, "to go to church and
hear these questions discussed by a
preacher who behind his pulpit is un-
assailable by the questions or criti-
cisms of his audiences"
DIR. Knox, Bishop Potter and other
speakers urged that if Christian
churches would hold meetings at
which " the man in the pew" had a
chance to talk back, it would create
a new interest where the traditional
church service might not.
At the Christ Church meetings based
on this suggestion, the first speaker on
Sunday next will be the Rev, DR.. Ly-
man Abbott. His subject is . What
Christianity Has Done for This
World" Z"
Later speakers are, on May 3, Prof
A. q. McGitfert of Union Seminary
concerning "Social Questions" May
10, the Rev. DR.. Knox, on What Ii
the Use of Faith {? - and May II, Vic
tor L. Collins, on Socialism and the
Church.

THE LAUTER= =HU MANA
Everyone can play this
instrument---and play arts
tically and we'll.

Most persons on hearing and see
ing the Lauter-Humana played for the
first time are incredulous; they think
that it is impossible to play in so salts
flying a manner with the aid of music
roll and treadles. This is not Surpris-
ing, for practically all instruments en-
bodying a player device confine the
performer to a purely mechanical
rendition, and thus make enjoyment
for a person of critical musical taste
out of the question.
The artistic element in the LAU-
TER-4UMANA has given it pre-
eminence over all other instruments
Of its type. With this wonderful
piano all can play-and play exactly
as they may like to play. It is possi-
bic to render the most delicate pas
sage with the incest feeling, it is easy
to express oneself in phrasing, in
tempo control and in expression. SO
true is this that persons who are salts
factory players for themselves have
become enthusiastic over the LAU-
TER-F1UMANA, inasmuch as it does

Republicans are Incensed at the Re-
marks Made by Longworth in His

Succession OF Presidency.
The Omaha Bee, published by Vic
tor ROsewater, member OF the Repub-
ican national committee, and head Of
the Republican campaign publicity bu-
reau, has made the blunder of critt-
cising vigorously part Of the tariff
plank Of the Republican platform, the
writer being under the impression that
he was really pouring hot shot into
Mr.. Bryan. The Democratic leader, in
q recent speech, had quoted that part
Of the Republican platform which Is
criticised.
The editorial in Mr.. Rosewater's pa
per goes on the theory that this Ian
guage was Mr.. Bryans own, the
writer failing to notice that the lam
guage was really part of the platform
on which Mr.. Taft is running.
The consequence Of this Is that Mr..
Bryan and his friends have on broad
grin and they think that the smiles
at Fairview are likely to spread to all
Democrats in the country.
The words complained of in the Bee
editorial were these:
I'm all tariff legislation the true
principle is best maintained by the i'm
position of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost OF
production at home and abroad, to-
gether with reasonable profit to Amer
lean industries"
The Bee went ON to puncture this
language in the following style:
Nothing prettier in the catch-all
line has been offered in this cam
paign. The most hide-bound stand
patter in the country can accept that
as satisfactory and the rankest FREE
trader can find delight in it. The dec
laration means simply nothing. An at
tempt to legislate along that line
would simply open the way to inter-
minable wrangling as to what consti-
tutes "a reasonable profit for hair
splitting ON wages on one industry,
price of raw materials in another, re-
bates and drawbacks in third and
so on through the list Of thousands Of
articles that are now on the tariff re-
vision, at Bryan's direction, would
serve only to halt industrial and COM
mercial progress and keep business I'M
settled during his term Of Office
The Omaha World-Herald shows
that the words complained of are not
a part Of any speech Of Mr.. Bryan,
but a part of the tariff plank Of the
Republican platform.
Mr. Bryan had this to say when
the matter was called to his atten-
ton:
II am very much surprised that Mr..
Rosewater should have attempted to
misrepresent my position. A good
many unfair things have been said bJ
Mr.. Rosewater. To accuse me OF
using the language of the Republican
platform Is an outrage. He ought to
apologize for this injustice and ex
plain to his readers that the language
which he criticises was taken from thu
Republican platform and not from any
speech of mine.
'"rhis' is a rich find. 1t shaws how
absurd the Republican platform looks
to a Republican when the Republican
has chance to look at it in disin
terested way. When Mr.. Rosewatel
thought that the language quoted wa:
taken from a speech Of mine he could
see how ridiculous the language was
hope that his opinion of the Language
will not change when he finds that NJ
was shooting at his own platform in

inaugurated the exhibition at the Petit

excellent quality of many of the contri-
