with most alarming symptoms of diph
theria. -4t r
The mother, watching by the bedsHe
of the little one. dispatched a message
tied on a carrier pigeon to her husband
at liirt Ftore on Market 6treet. In the
message she wrote the nature of the
child's alarming illness, and made an
urgent aptx-al for medicine to save its
life. The brrd was started from the
home of the family near the Cliff House,
five miles from Mr. Marsh's Market
6treet btore.
The bird flew swiftly to the store,
where Mr. Marsh received it. Ue read
the message, called a doctor, explained
the child's symptoms ad his wife had de
tailed them in her message, and received
the proper medicine. Then tying the
little vial containing the medicine to the
tail of the pigeon, he let it go.
The pigeon pped away through the air
straight for the Cliff. It made the dis
tance, five milts, in ten minutes, a dis
tance which would have required the
doctor three quarters of an hour to cover.
In twenty minutes from the time the
mother's message was sent to her hus
band the baby was taking the medicine.
Naturally enough Mr. Marsh is partial
to pigeons, for he considers that he owep
his baby's life to one. San Francisco
Examiner.
On Act from a Ileal Life Drama.
"1 witnessed a most touching and dra
matic incident the other day," says a
Chicago man visiting St. Louis. "It
was at the Union depot. Among the
passengers leaving the train just in from
the south was a distinguished looking
old gentleman, and clinging to his arm
was one of the most beautiful ifirls I
ever saw iu my life.
"To take the Joliet train there came
down the stone steps a burly officer in
citizen's clothes, and by his side was the
once society favorite, George Lipe, con
victed of forging his mother's name to
valuable documents, who, in spite of all
influence brought to bear, must serve
his term in the penitentiary.
"A steel band was about the prison
er's wrist attached to another about the
officer's wrist. The two couples I have
described met directly in front of the
big gates.
" 'Oh, papa.' exclaimed the girl, as her
face lighted up with pleasure, 'here is
George come to meet us after our long
journey.'
"She rushed forward to meet the con
vict and impetuously grabbed both his
hands. The shock the sight of the man
acles produced was positively frightful.
Her great eyes opened, her face blanched,
she tried to speak, but could not, and
then she fell fainting into the arms of
her father, who bore her to a carriage.
"The convict during this ordeal was a
pitiable looking object. He uttered no
word, but as he passed through the gate
1 saw his lower lip was covered with
blood. He had bitten through it.
"The girl, 1 learned, was the felon's
fiancee who had been in Mexico all win
ter." Chicago News.
Their Lives Saved by a Jatkann.
A special from Montgomery, the new
mining camp in the extreme south
western part of Nevada, says: About a
month ago Bob Montgomery, brother of
the finder of the mines here, with Mr.
Sherwood and Mr. Metcalf, left here
with six jacks on a prospecting trip in
the foothills around Death valle3T. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but they
agree the famous valley is well named.
In making the trip from Furnace
creek to Cottonwood a hot wind came
up, in which it was next to impossible
for them to get breath. The animals be
gan to give out, and they were compelled
to abandon their packs and start on a
hunt for water. What little they had
left they mixed with vinegar and oat
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture so hot
that it would actually burn them when
they wet their swollen tongues with it.
None had ever been over the ground
before, and it was only due to the intelli
gence of Montgomery's pet jack.Sullivan,
that they were saved from suffering, if
not death. Dragging along up the val
ley they were passing the mouth of a
canyon when suddenly old Sullivan gave
a tremendous bray.
Metcalf said, "That's water, boys,"
and started up the canyon. Sure enough,
he gave a yell of joy Water was found.

Being Cured by a Tricycle.
The latest remarkable cure reported in
Maine is that of a nine-year-old girl
named Orff, at Levant, who is said to
have been cured of a bad case of spinal
disease by riding a tricycle. Her trouble
dated from infancy and she was supposed
to be deformed for life, several promi
nent doctors having pronounced her case
incurable. But a month ago the child's
father bought her a tricycle and she at
once began riding, at first only on smooth
floors, but later out of doors. Lately a
great change has been noticed in her
condition Her back has begun to
straighten and her general health to im
prove. Bangor (lie.) News.

squall drove their yacht out to sea an 1

then started out to get them something
to eat The island is out of the wav of
travel, and in consequence not a vessel
was seen for two weeks. Duringall this
time tho young lady hunted and fished,
and was so successful that they did not
pass one day without food.
The island is so flat and barren that
unless a vessel gets close to it the people
on board cannot see it. They could not
use the little wood they found for signal
fires, for thef were afraid there would
not be enough to serve for cooking their
food. A storm had sent them on the
island, ami a similar occurrence saved
them, for the fishing Rchooner had been
driven off the shore and out of her course,
and when the captain saw the island he
sent a boat ashore to see if lie could get
water.
Mr. Buchanan had by this time fuliy
recovered, but the son was still suffering
from his broken arm. They were taken
off and brought to this city, and ure now

ence, except Tom. whose arm is in bad

The Health of New York's VVealtliy Men.
With Jay Gould sick with the neural
gia, C. P. Huntington out of sorts with
malaria and rheumatism, and John D
Rockefeller under treatment for nervous
prostration, it is not to be marveled at
that Wall street men ask, "Are our great
financiers breaking down?" Within the
past 6ix months the respective presidents
of two big trust companies have been
advised that they must either abstain
from business cares or retire from all as
sociation with common humanity. The
past year has indeed been a trying
period for the nerves of great financiers.
They have had to battle energetically
with adverse circumstances, and very
few have come out of the struggle with
unimpaired health.
Cornelius Vauderbilt, D. O. Mills and
Russell Sage are conspicuous exceptions
to the general physical demoralization of
rich men. Mr. Vauderbilt is not only a
very methodical man. but he has so
many competent lieutenants in the man
agement of his vast property that he does
not feel the wear and tear of the ordi
nary man of millions. Besides, Mr.Van
ierbilt probably gives himself more rest
and recreation than any other million
aire in this country. He never bothers
about details. Mr. Depew relieves him
Df those, and Mr. Depew has well
trained assistants who relieve him from
worry. D. O. 'Mills retains good health
because he has a rugged constitution
and a placid disposition. Russell Sago
is seldom sick, because he cannot afford
to spare the time. New York Times.
Runaway Charges in France.
The etiquette of French law must
sometimes take the flavor of an unwel
come surprise to lately exported brides.
Not long ago the Countess de la Forest
Devonne, formerly Florence Audenreid,
Df Washington, was driving in the Bois
ie Boulogne with her cousin, Mrs. Har
rison Caner, another bride from Phila
delphia, when her horses suddenly took
fright and ran away without hurting
anybody seriously or doing perceptible
iamage. With characteristic prompt
ness, however, a government official
jailed and laid before the countess a bill
for damages. The official document
stated that some injury had been done to
the barks of the trees and some little
confusion of roadway and bordering
ijrass had been caused by her horses.
Well, this seemed rather amusing to
an American, but when bills for dam
ages to five different carriages came in,
ane after another, the countess began to
jet anxious, ami consulted her check
book with a growing interest and much
wonderment as to whether there would
enough left of her yearly income for
aecessary expenses. Furthermore, she
tias no idea when the demand will stop
w how many more ancient and decrepit
vehicles will come out as good as new at
aer expense. New York Times.
A Venerable Prize Winner.
Jacob Pottinger, the well known cat
tle dealer of Shillington, had a small
field of rve harvested in a novel manner.
j He invited a large number of friends to
J bis home, and after providing each with
j a sickle he took them to the field and
! announced that a "sickle race" was to
take place for five prizes, with William
A Arnold, Henry M. Ahrens and Ma
oah S. Weller as judges. At 2:30 the
race began. Henry Kurtz, of Cumru,
aged seventy-five, with a sickle 150 years

taking the lead and t3-ing the
first sheaf. He held the lead and fin
