BILL INQUIRIES
HORSE TAKES ODD
BATH IN C|STERN
Drops Out of Sight When Ground
Caves in Over Old Water
Hole.

William MCGUIRE, employed by the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company,
Orange, drove to the rear of a fash
ionable boarding house at rs Lenox ave-
nue., East Orange, shortly before 8
o'clock last night, with a load of gro
%ceries, and met with the surprise of his
life. He went to the rear of the vehi-
Gle to lift out a box, and when ne
! looked around the horse had dropped
| completely out of sight, while the har-
ness and wagon had not moved, lnG
i. looked as if the animal had been
| swallowed up in the earth.
To say "BilP' Mcclure was shocked
is to put 1t mildly, and he started to
| pinch himself to see if he was awake.
/ He walked in front of the vehicle ana
heard a splashing In what proved to be
al. old cistern. Tho ground had caved
in under the hind legs of the horse, and
it had slipped down the ten-foot hole
from the rear, and when its front feet
went up in the air he slipped out of the
harness.
The driver Immediately sent word to
the store and police, and Chief James
Bell with the RESERVES. Policemen
O,Neill, Lynch and Hoffman, hurried
to the scene. A lantern was tied to
the end OF a whip and lowered into
the hole, and the horses head was
seen a short distance above the oar
feet OF water and mud. One of the
men present secured a ladder and went
down into the cistern to study the
plight of the animal II also give en-
couragement.
Another message was sent to East
Orange police headquarters and a nuni-
Der of picks and shovel were secured
in the East Orange City Hall and the
men set to work to get the animal out
of the cistern, under the direction of
Chief Bell and I. J. Mulgrave, manager
of the Orange store of the tea company.
A large number of the fashionable
guests in the boarding rouse and others
attracted to the place looked on and
offered a thousand suggestions.
All the time the people worked Pete.
the horse, lay in the water without
uttering a neigh, but seemed to suffer
from exhaustion and the cold. When
the progress seemed slow it was de-
cided To send word to John P. DeX-
heimer. a house-mover of Orange, but
he had no men at hand. but said he
would try and ecu a few, which he
did. and they were sent down TO help
out. The work was hard, and it looked
as if the horse was doomed; but
shortly after midnight a runway had
teen completed. and, by careful
handling, the horse was gotten out. IL
was given a rubbing-down and covered
with several blankets. 1t was then led
back to it's stable. and this morning
Mr.. Mulgrave said the animal had
fully recovered and was In fine fettle.

DOCTOR FIGHTS HUNGRY SEALS
New York Physician Barely Escapes
with Life.

Avalon, Santa Catalina Island.-Dr.
w. A. Pratt, prominent physician of
New York, had an experience here
which came near costing him his life
In an encounter with seals whom
hunger had driven savage the doctor
was compelled to struggle for life 40
minutes. The only weapon he had
was an old broom handle. He was
about ready to give up the struggle
when help arrived.
The doctor went fishing early in
the morning and returned to the island
with % albicore. While at lunch near
the wharf half dozen hungry seals
appeared on the quiet surface of the
bay and in moment they were strug-
Cling furiously to get aboard his
launch. Defending his catch with a
broom handle, the doctor succeeded in
getting his launch to the pier, but the
seals were not yet beaten and U-
newed their attack more savagely
than before, attempting to snap HIT
legs and arms and trying to throw
themselves into the boat.
An Sid blind seal recently brought
10 Avalon from West Lake park, Los
Angeles, led the attack. The doctor
struck it across the face a dozen
times before it dropped into the water.
Finally. when just about exhausted,
the doctor dropped four big fish over
board. While the seals were Selling
these help arrived and the doctor got
away with the rest of his catch.

Baby Goldberg did not have vein

FATHERS BLOOD

OF HIS LIFE FLUID IN A RE-
MARKABLE OPERATION.
DELICATE FEAT OF DOCTORS
Child Suffering from Hemorrhages
and with Only One Chance in
10000 Transformed Into Rosy
Checked Young One.

New York.-Transfusion of blood
from the arteries of man "a years
old. to the veins of an infant born
Is days ago. has been accomplished
successfully in Mount Sinai hospital,
and is the first operation of its kind
of which there is record in Europe or
America
All the circumstances attendant
upon this delicate feat in surgery
are regarded by surgeons as of pc
culiar interest A male child, then
IL days old, whose father and
mother are Nathan and Rebecca
Goldberg, was brought to the hospital.
Apparently the baby was dying. He
was suffering from hemorrhages,
which had continued from the day of
his birth. He weighed five pounds.
The aather carried him from home on
n pillow.
The hemorrhagic condition in an
infant of that age was so uncommon
that nearly all of the surgical staff
were eager to make a study of the
case. a specimen of the blood was
examined, and found to contain only
45 per cent. of haemoglobin, one of
the constituents of the red corpuscle,
which carries oxygen through the cir.
culation. Death was regarded as in
evitable.
One of the surgeons suggested that
there was one chance in 10000 of saw
ing the child-by transfusion-and
this was communicated to the father,
who Immediately expressed his will
ingness to give as much of his own
blood as might be needed. Prepare
tons were made at once for the
transference Of blood from father to
babe.

MAKING THEM LAST
PROPER METHODS OF LAuNDER.
ING DELICATE FAsRICS.
Silk and Lace centerpieces Easily In.
injured-Einen Should Be Shrunk-
en- Before II Is Stamped or
Embroidered.

The table center of to-day is very
Inherent from that of a few years ago
There are many more varieties thar
the ali-embroidered or all-lace center
pieces of the past.
Nowadays, different kinds of nets
and laces are inserted in the linen
and combined with solid embroidery
or fancy stitches and also with braids
which are coming into fashion again
These make centerpieces and EN-
broidery in general much simpler, yet
at the same time, more effective.
They can also be made with less ex-
nense if the proper combinations are
used. Solid embroidery done with
silks, either in colors or white, is
handsomer than any other kind.
For table centers for everyday use,
which must be laundered constantly.
the all-white linen center, worked in
mercerized or plain cotton, with fancy
stitches and simple braids, makes an
effective and inexpensive article.
1t is easy for anyone knowing little
Or even nothing about embroidery in
general to make.
The linen should be shrunken be-
fore it is stamped or embroidered, es-
pecially any piece that is made to a
special size or particular shape. A
circular center will not remain round
unless it has been shrunken before it
has been marked, for linen shrinks
more one way than another.
When center or any embroidered
piece of linen is Numbered, it should
be pressed while damp on the wrong
side until thoroughly dry.
If the ironing board or table is COW
cred with several thicknesses of
blanket the embroidery will then stand
out and look very handsome after the
piece has been pressed
1t Is best to use a piece of flannel
when dampening the linen, as it is
softer than linen or cotton and fresh
ems up the linen wonderfully. Unless
a piece of work has become very
much soiled while being worked, it is
much better not to wash it before it is
pressed.
When finished, the center should be
dampened and pressed before the seal
lop is cut out, thus enabling the linen
to be cut closer to the scallop without
danger Of cutting the stitches or leav-
ing ragged edge beyond the scallop.
This usually happens if it is cut out
before it is pressed.
