FIGHT PERILs DIVERS LIFE.
Two Men Stop Pumping Air to Worker
in River, But>He Is Saved.

New York-Left without air be-

to pump it to him had stopped work
to fight each other, George Smith,

water. Benjamin Parkins, one of the
combatants in the fight, is in a hos.
pital with fractured skull, while his
assailant, Thomas Russell, is under
arrest charged with felonious assault.
Smith was working on the hull OF
the sunken sound steamer H. NJ.
Whitney. A disagreement between
Russell and Parkins, who were work
ing the air, pump, was followed, &C
cording to the police, by Russell grab.
bling a piece of iron pipe and striking
Parkins on the head Parkins fell I'M
conscious and Russell leaped over
board and swan away.
Meanwhile the diver, deprived of
air, was helpless and momentarily in
danger of death. Some time elapsed
before those on the dredge realized
his plight Then two men jumped to
the pump and others signaled the
diver. They got no response and fran
tically began hauling Smith to the
surface. Finally the diver was dragged
out of the water.
Smith afterwards said his sensations
as the air supply failed were horrible.
When he felt the air failing he sig
nailed to his mates above. Getting no
reply on the signal rope, he waited to
be drawn up, but felt the awful pres

was about to ''go to sleep" as he ex-

NEWEST THING IN PERFUMES.
American Beauty Sachet Has Caught
Fancy of Fashion.

Each year sees new fashion in per-
fume. The winter of 1909 will give to
the American Beauty the apple of s1c-

This is the new perfume, and the
Understandable thing of the day Is to
have 1t in sachet or drop of it for
your clothes or cake of soap to vse
on special occasions.
The Americans have taken it up rot
only with patriotism but enthusiasm.
Heretofore they have always used the
French perfumes under French names
The sachets of this sell from Is
cents up and are confined in an enveI-
ope of American Beauty satin. The
odor is subtle and lasting
Only small bottle of the essence is
needed, as a drop is enough for q
gown. The smart women put a drop
or two on piece of gauze or cotton
and tuck it away in the evening gown
One drop of it put on blouse per-

that the young one, with her fine table
linen, bed clothing and lingerie, could
have no more welcome gift in that
distant city than that despised scrap
bag for emergencies.
Another seasoned housekeeper gives
to every bride-to-be among her friends
what she calls 'The Brides Friend
1t is nothing more than an elaborate
patch bag, but proves the most popu-
lar kind of an engagement present.
She makes large laundry bag of
art linen in some bright color. binds
it with white linen tape, supplies It
with several pockets, inside and out,
and embroiders on the front the ini-
tials of the recipient.
The bag is then stocked with scrub
cloths. pieces of muslin for ironing
boards, covers for pots and pans, sew.
eral yards of gray canton flannel for
wiping up floors, chamois skins, rolls
of old muslin and linen and good
sized pieces of silk and cloth.
The fame of this odd gift has been
spread by enthusiastic young house
keepers, who have found it a delight
to have supply, on which to draw be-
fore time provides them with rags"
of their own.

with Every Frock Flower.

The lad Tor wearing ARTIFICIAL po3ies
with the evening frock has returned
with a vengeance, and all the shops
are showing natural king roses,
lily-of-the-valley sprays, gardenias, or
chids and violet clusters, ready to pin
to the bodice. These made-to-ordeP
flowers are, however, not an economy.
for in most cases the price runs far
above that of an ordinary blossom of
the same kind. The artificial flower,
of course, has the advantage of keep
ing its usefulness far beyond the
brief beauty of the real blossom.

tremeiy Popular.

Since the fashion in making East
Indian patterns and designs on many
fabrics came back into fashion there
has been wide demanded for the
printed cotton table cover in these
colors.
These are used for bedroom, library
and sitting room tables. They sell
for small prices from a dollar up. The
background is white and the figures
are brilliant green and red and yell
low.
The border is distinctly East Indian,
often in the cashmere pattern.
Large peacocks in the brilliant blues
and green's strut over the surface, and
huge baskets of red flowers make a
circle in the center.
The woman who needs new table
covers and who does not wish to in
vest in expensive affairs could not do
better than choose one of these.
In bedroom or sitting room where
old colonial furniture is used these
table cloths are especially effective,
for they were much used in the period
that gave birth to the mahogany furni-
ture.
One decorator has used four of the
smaller covers, with baskets of roses
and the cashmere border as a cover
ing for bed 1t is quite effective and
harmonizes entirely with the rest of
the room, which is colonial

New York.-It was the courage and

bride of Capt Hudson, that thwarted
death which threatened the crew of
the schooner Henry Clausen, Jr., for
three days in mid-ocean.
With the vessel waterlogged and
twisted into mass of wreckage by

deemed hopeless, by the Bible stories
that she related and the hymns she
sang. This kept the derelict afloat

only pump that had not been disabled.
AS. the sailors fought the sea that
surged in through the rents in the ship
Mrs. Hudson's voice kept time to the
chugging of the pump.
When calm came over the ocean, the
craft caught fire and the flames spread
rapidly over the upper part of the ship,
which dried quickly under the fierce
rays of the tropical sun. The pump
suddenly became disabled and the sail
ors, in frenzy of fear, rushed aft, in
tending to jump into the sea rather
than face their greatest enemy, fire.
But Mrs. Hudson met them on the
quarter deck. Standing beside her in.
