That Edward James Burrell, years
old, is alive following his fall into a
sewer of Eighty sixth street and East
End avenue in New York, and his be-
ing carried along through the snow
and slush more than 200 feet, is due
solely to the heroism of Police Lieut.
enant Michael Mulhall and Lea Keiser.
The boy was practically uninjured.
Hundreds of persons, including the
mother of the boy, watched Mulhall
and Keiser climb down into the sewer
with lantern, where they fought their
way through the swift moving slush
until they finally came upon the boy.

The demand for passage to Europe
is surprising all previous records. The
rush abroad will be extended into the
fall. 1t is commonly supposed that the
European tourists are booked almost
wholly from the eastern states, but this
season, however the bookings from the
west have been especially heavy, and
a surprising proportion will go from
the Pacific coast April will find the
eastern rush well under way. All in
dications point to the fact that the
season OF 1910 will be eclipsed, when
1,272,722 people were carried across the
Atlantic. This seasons advance book

for second cabin passage. which is be-
moderate means will spend their vaca =
tons in Europe this year than ever
before.
There are variety of ways of work
ing ones passage on shipboard, but the
plan adopted by c. Pullman OF St
Louis doubtless establishes a preced-
ent. Mr.. Pullman, young man of ed
ucation. crossed the Atlantic in the
first cabin with some ten thousand
dollars i'm cash to meet the expenses OF
a short sojourn in Europe He had neg
lected to secure his return passage, by
oversight. His living expenses in Lon
con and Paris proved higher than he
had anticipated, and like many others
the Atlantic presented a formidable
barrier to his return home. Mr.. Pull
man was obliged to forego the luxury
of first cabin. second. or even third
cabin and finally shipped as a peeler
of potatoes on the steamship President
Lincoln of the Hamburg American
line. BY crossing in first cabin and re-
turning in the scullery Mr.. Pullman
doubtless established a new era record
of its kind.

said, with the slightest trace of culti-
