BOY HAD DEATH
GRIP ON ROCKS
All That Saved Youngster
From Death.

Stamford, Conn. Aug. 29.-Mark
Greenburg, of No 45 ST. John place,
this city, fell overheard at Waterside,
where he lost consciousness, yet the
boy chung, how long no one knows, to
a rock at the edge of the harbor in a
deathlike grip, one so strong that three
men had difficulty in breaking it.
Presumably he fell overheard while
taking nap on the Rippewan Yacht
Club wharf. Mrs. George Scrobogna
saw him clinging to the rock With
the assistance of some men she broke
his hold and hauled him out of the
water. Seemingly he was dead, but
Mrs. Scrobogna rolled him on a barrel
and applied other measures of resusci-
tation.
Finally she forced some whiskey in
to his mouth, then he began to
breathe. A physician arrived and the
boy was taken to Stamford Hospital.
He is believed to be out of danger.

for matching old paper and could put

Mr.. Poole's famous feat of splitting a

that he could do all that the Englishman

THE SUN AND MOON.
Quaint Folklore Stories Concerning
These Luminuries.

Quaint Folklore Stories Concerning
These Luminnries.
The most touching of all folklore sto-
ries may be found in Charles f. Lum-
mis- Pueblo Folklore" 1t is one Of
the many myths of the moon and beau
ufully conceived. The sun is the ALL
father, the moon the Allmother, and
both shine with equal light in the heav.
ems. But the Trues. the superior divin-
tiles, find that man, the animals, the
flowers, weary of constant day. They
agree to put out the Allfather's, or
suns, eyes. The Allmother. the moon,
offers herself as sacrifice. Blind
me-" she says, land leave my hus-
bands eyes" The Trues say, at is
good, woman"
They accept the sacrifice and take
away one of the Allmother's eyes;
hence the moon is less brilliant than
the sun. The man finds rest at night
and the flowers sleep.
In Mrs. Leiber Cohen's translation of
Sacher Masoch's Jewish Tales" there
Is a variant of the sun and moon story
derived from the Talmud. Briefly told
the sun and moon are equally lumi-
nous. 1t is the moon who wants to be
more brilliant than the sun. Deity is
angered at her demands. Her light is
lessened. The moon grew pale. Then
God pitied her and gave her the stars
for companions"

Laborers Dare Death as They
Work High On Brooklyn Bridge

Work is scarce just now. even for
cable men. Many of them take all
sorts of chances in order to hold their
jobs, among $50 men employed on the
great bridge. Often men will be
seen to walk across the narrow beams
in order to save little time.
Although the actual construction of
the cables has now been in progress
many months, the number of men
meeting with serious accidents is
very small.
The river span of the bridge is lao
feet, little shorter than the old
Brooklyn bridge. Steel towers instead
of stone will suspend the four huge
cables which are to suspend the
bridge proper. Each of these cables
contains thirty strands and each
strand 256 wires. The winding OF
these strands into cables is the pro-
cess now going on.

New York, Aug. 29.-Feats more
hair raising and thrilling than those
Of a circus are seen every day by
New Workers who cross the Brooklyn
bridge.
Just above the Brooklyn bridge is
the new Manhattan bridge now in the
most interesting stage Of it's construc-
ton. The huge wire cables that are
to support the roadway are being
"spliced" into position.
Long narrow swaying walkways
hang from temporary cables over the
housetops and the East river.
Eaborers run up and down these
swinging walks, apparently without
thought of the 320-foot fall which a
slip of the foot would cause. They
perform all sorts of high wire feats,
not with thought of applause. but for
bread and butter.

Identified today as Mrs. Allen Reed,
wife of druggist of this city. She
had recently returned from Spring
field, Mass, where she attended the
funeral of her father. Her husband
was at Buffalo Park, Colo, where the
family has a summer cottage, while
she was engaged in efforts to black
mail Mrs. Phipps. She is believed to
be insane. Mrs. Reed attempted to
commit suicide in the police station
by taking morphine. The chief Of po-
lice had been examining her and saw
her make a motion as if putting
something in her mouth. He struck
her hand, knocking the contents to
the floor. He found she had fifty tab
lets of morphine, enough to kill half
a dozen people.

pleasant anticipation to the football
game Friday afternoon Of this week
between the Military Institute and the
University of New Mexico, Albuquer-

to Roswell in fine form and with a
good record behind them, having won
all games this fall from teams in the
central part of the territory. The ca
diets also will be in the best of con-
dition, and are expected to play bet

a good showing against the team from

ing brought to Roswell at great ex-
pense, and the only way to raise the
money is by attendance at the games

interest in the game should attend,
thus giving their financial support to
athletics. If they attend a few games,
they will soon become as deeply int
crested as others.

In every election about half the peo-

takes a good deal of self-command
to lose gracefully, but it is a tribute
to the orderly and law-abiding char
acter of our people that when an elec-
tion verdict is declared they acquiesce
in it quietly; they are not like the
people of some other republics who
have revolution every little while.
Fortunately, however, our is not mere
ly government of majorities; it is
a government of majorities regulated
by sacred safeguards which prohibit
the majority from tyrannizing over
the minority. We are all under the
protection of the laws of this free
land, regardless of our political
views. No mere majority can over
turn this government, and it: is this

DID PROHIBITION
KILL OKLAHOMA CITY
(Ry J. j. Inomson.)

By j. j. InOmSOn.)
At this time last year Oklahoma
City, including the suburbs which are
now in the city, had a population, ac-
cording to the special U. S. census Of
100000 The recent sclool census
shows an increase of 25 per cent, and
if the children brought their parents
to town with them, the city now un-
doubtedly has $4,000 people.
Last year 1nere were fifty-nine sa-
looms, which paid into the city treas
ury $29,50O per year. This year, with
no saloons, with an occupation tax,
the city pays it's mayor and council
men good salaries; has made extern
sive improvements, and has a good
round surplus ON hand. Four large
eight or ten-room school houses are
to be built. Fifteen miles of streets
are being paved, which is one-third
as much as that already laid Build
ing permits for the first half of Aug
ust amount to $4,000, and in July
$1OS,OO0. Half a million dollars are to
be spent in improvements in the near
future. Real estate men say the de-
mand for homes is increasing beyond
their ability to meet, and large num-
bers of residences are being erected.
-Four and five-room houses are in great
demand, and easily bring s25 per
month rent.
The bank clearings for the month
ending August Is were s4,30S, 1896, ex-
ceeding those for the same month
last year by s431,325, or nearly half
a million.
Rents and real estate prices are all
from 10 to 40 per cent higher than
last year. Both business and residence
buildings of pretentious size and in
large numbers are being erected as
fast as materials and men can be Sc
cured to do so. Every room and build
ing formerly occupied by saloon was
months ago filed by a legitimate bus
mess, at a higher rental price in near
