Rescuer Fails in Saving Life,

NEW YORK, September 14.-Dan
Brogan. foreman of the gang working
in the shaft of the Croton aqueduct
that extends down 452 feet into the
earth al the foot of Clinton street, was
ing from a platform more than 400
feet below the street level when he
heard a scrambling noise and the
sound Of groans and curses coming
from the platform suspended below
him, where three men had been work
ing under his orders. He peered down,
but the lights carried by the three
workers had gone out. There was a
muffled cry for help.
Two Men Gripping the Edge.
Brogan swung himself to the water
pipe which runs the length of the
shaft, slid down to the lower platform,
and there, with the light of his own
lamp. saw that the thing had tipped
Two men were hanging to it, gripping
the edge with their hands. and unable
to hoist themselves till Brogan gave
them helping hand. Then they
and told him that Patrick O'DonnelI
was down there somewhere in the
darkness. where the water stood twen-
ty-five feet deep. Shaft 81 is a few
feet from the East river. and the con-
tinuous work of six hydraulic pumps
cannot keep it free from water.
Brogan could hear splashing in the
pit and the surface Of the water was
only ten feet below. He swung him
self across to the platform and jumped.
The men he left could do nothing. and.
owing to the blackness of the pits bot
tom, they could see nothing. They
could only signal for the lowering Of
the bucket and wait.

The Democratic Anvil Chorus.
LOmaha Bee.l


1t Is the Democratic play to keep
.hammering necessarily on President
Taft with view of creating false
impression that his administration is
a failure because Mr.. Taft is the prob
able candidate of his party for re-
election, whom the Democrats must
beat to get into power,
This anvil chorus of Democratic
knockers, however, is attuned to no
new political melody, but is simply
repeating the noisy outcry which has
been directed from the same source
at every Republican standard bearer
Everybody realizes that Mr.. Taft has
had some difficult problems to deal
With, and embarrassing situations to
meet from The very day he became
president, but everyone who wants to
be fair with himself also knows that
his administration as whole has been
a success and that he has been gain
ing in public estimation and strength,
particularly since the reverse pendu-
lum swing that gave us a Democratic
Congress. The anvil chorus OF the
Democrats will, however be Kept UP
all the time that Mr.. Taft is in the
running, but it remains to be seen
whether it Will fool the people any
more now that it has in the past.

Passing OF the Plgtall.

Although the queue, less reverently
known as pigtail, is most Commonly
associated in the public mind of today
with the people OF China, and although
that fashion of wearing the hair has
probably been attributed by the
thoughhtless in many instances to
what most of US were taught by our
school Biographies to regard as the
halfsiviiized condition Of the Chinese,
1t Is fact well worth noting that the
Chinese are by no means the only ma
tion on earth to have shown respect
and Partially to the queue. The re-
cent edict sanctioring the abolition Of
the pigtail In China reminds the Lon
don Chronicle that it Is not so very
long ago since the pigtail disappeared
not merely from the British army and
navy, but even from everyday civilian
Mo In England. Waist.long ptgtails
we're the fashionable wear in England
about 1740, and before that the bag
wtv had been adorned with pigtail
looped up in black silk flag, AS late
as 1868 an old gentleman was seen in
cheapside with his gray hair tied be-
hind in short queue, and 1t appears
that even today may be found in Eng
land relic Of the pigtail, for accord-
ing to chit Chronicle, the three pieces
Of black velvet on the dress tunics Of
oficers in the Royal Welsh Fusilers
are the remains Of the ribbon With
which the queue was aed. : y

An analysis OF these exports and

Dan looked at the clock; it was aft

The other note, which he opened
more slowly, was from Ruggles, and 1t
began in just the same way as the

Ruggles left no word Of advice, and
unconscious Of this master stroke on
the part Of the old man. whose heart
yearned for him as for his own son,
Dan folded the note up and thought
no more about Rugg!es
When an hour later 10 came out OF

life Of the evening. He stopped At
