LAME AND BLIND
B, siege II New YORK. church hy Day
and Night.

It Is reported that one of the most
remarkable religious demonstrations
ever witnessed in this country has
been brought to a. close in the Ro-
man Catholic Church Of st. Jean
Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth
street, New York, wherein little
silver case are treasured two small
bones that are believed to be from
the wrist of st. Anne, mother of
the Virgin Mary:
On the first of the nine days of the
Novena, remarkable cures were re-
ported, among them being woman
who is said to have regained her
sight. This and many reports OF
similar miracles caused the little
church to be besieged day and night
by the lame and the halt and many
pitiful scenes were witnessed.
,Believeing parents sent to the
shrine children who had been i'll
from birth, others brought men and
women so. crippled that they could
not walk and scores of the blind
were led to the altar rail to kiss
the little silver case and frequently
utter their prayers to st. Anne for
deliverance from the physical woes.
The rush Of supplicants became so
great that special details of police
men formed the crowds into lines
and were always present at the
churches to preserve order. Many
persons seeking to be cured come
from distant cities, and hundreds
came from adjacent localities.

Was More Than Two Hours in A
Very Narrow we'll.
FELL BACK TWICE
When She Was Almost Out, but FL
nally Was Taken Out After a Re-
markable Singular and narrowing
Experience, During Which the Lit
the Girl Showed Great Courage

'W. R. B." the Fort Mill cores
,pondent of The State, says word
reached that place Monday morning
of narrowing accident, and most
remarkable escape from death, which
Sunday afternoon befell the 8-year-
old daughter of C. Cook, white
farmer of the Belair neighborhood,
seven miles from Fort Hill.
He says the child was playing
about the yard and in some way fell
into the we'll, which is 80 feet deep,
contains about eight feet OF water,
and is walled with 1S-inch 'erra-
Gotta piping. The child screamed
whila falling and her parents discov-
cred at once that she was in the well.
Intelligent effort was Immediate
directed toward the rescue of 'ho
child, who displayed the remarkable
presence of mind, after sinking the
depth of the eight feet of water and
rising to the surface, of bracing her
body with knees and back on oppo-
site sides of the piping to avoid
drowning.
A rope was quickly lowered and
the child told to grasp it. This she
did, but when drawn to within a
few feet of the mouth of the we'll
the child's strength failed and she
fell to the bottom of the we'll
second time, but again rose to tho
surface of the water and grasped the
rope. After the lapse of an hour
or more the child was again persuad-
ed to swing to the rope while her
parents for the second time attempt
ed to draw her from the well.
Again, when almost within one
arms reach of the parents, the child
let 90 the rope and for the third
time sank to the bottom, but FORUM
ately rose to the surface of the wa
ter as formerly. The rope was again
quickly lowered and cnce more was
| in the hands OF the child.
This time, however, the child was
not to be PERSUADED to undertake
the ascent-she was all but exhaust
ed, but had sufficient strength left
to hold to the rope and thereby save
herself from drowning.
Another hour passed and little
hope of rescuing the child was left.
Finally pair of steeyards was Sc
cured and tied to the end Of second
rope. This was lowered and the
child told to fasten one of the hooks
to her clothing. In this way she was
at last rescued, after facing death
for more than two hours.

q FALSE ALARM
SENATOR TILLMAN's SON DENIES
STARTLING REPORT.
Concerning the Serious Illness OF
His Father Published by Wash
ington Paper.

The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says B. K.
Tillman, Jr., son of Senator Tillmen,
denied the alarming reports Monday
that had been scattered throughout
Washington concerning the serious
illness of his father. The stories con-
cerning tSenator Tillman's illness
arose in all proba bility from the fol-
lowing, printed in the Washington
Post Monday morning:
"The shrill voice of Senator Benja-
min Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina
may never be heard in the Senate
Chamber again. Senator Tillman is
i'll at his home, farm, near Trenton,
S. C. He has been at home for three
weeks and his friends say his con-
dition is so serious that there is little
likelihood that he will be strong
enough to return to Washington to
vote on the tariff bill. The rumor
that he contemplates resigning his
seat is revived, but Senator Tillman
is following the same course he did
last summer and refuses to confirm
or deny the report.
Senator Tillman has not fully re-
covered from the attack of partial
paralysis, which seized him last sum.
mer. He tried to cure this by an
extended tour of several months in
Europe. The health resorts of the
Continent helped him greatly, and he
returned to the United States much
stronger than he was when he left.
While the paralysis has not returned,
a general disability from nervous
ness has made his life unhappy in the
last few months.
"The going Of Tillman will take
from the senate one of its most pic
turesque characters. Pitchfork Ben,
as he is called, is feared of all other
tongue, and the keenness of his wit.
No man in the United States Senate
is an ADLER, rough and ready fighter
than Tillman.
Senator Tillman's brother, the
late George R. Tillman, was Con-
gresham from the End South Caro-
lima district in the House. He was
known as one of the most quiet and
Unconditional men that ever sat in the
body. The name of Tillman was
practically unknown until Senator
Tillman was elected Governor oil
South Carolina in 1890. He cele-
brated his election by forcing
through the Legislature the dispen-
sary liquor law in that State.
Always interested in education
he founded his second college in the
State after the Inauguration. The
first school established through his
efforts was the Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Calhoun's
old home, Fort Mill, S. C. The Sc,
cond school is the Winthrop Normal
and Industrial College for Women
at Rock Hill
