LIFE-SAVER.

Fifty-Seven Persons Eescued From Drowning by One Man.

Frank B. Wilbur's Wonderfol Record of Bravery in the Water.

His Exploits in Europe, Australia and America—A Hero of the Burl

Prom the Kew York Star.

In a modest little cottage in that part of Morrisania known as Melrose there lives a quiet, hard-working man named Frank B. Wilbur, who earns a comfortable living for himself and family at the trade of a stone-maaon. He would pass •without spccial mention among the thousands of industrious mechanics who ply their daily avocations in New York and the Annexed District, were it not for the fact that he has rescued no less than fifty-seven persons from drowning within the past eighteen years. After a long search, a reporter of the Star succeeded in finding Mr. Wilbur's humble dwelling yesterday. There was an old-fashionea brass knocker on the door, such as was the style in our grandfathers' days. A few taps of the knocker brought a pleas-ant-faced woman to the door. I reply to the query as to whether her husband was at home or not, she said: "No, indeed, you will never find Frank at home at this hour of the day, unless it is on Sundays, and then he would be too much occupied with his bible to sec you on amr secular or business matter." "Where shall I look for him inquired the reporter. "Well, you go up to the next street," was the reply, "then turn to your left, walk three blocks and turn to your right, when you will seo a Shed where a numler of stone-masons are hammering away for dear life. You will find my husband among those men."

The reporter followed the directions, and coming to the shed where a dozen masons were at work, asked one of the number for Mr. Wilbur. A pale, thinlooking man, who looked as if the dust from the stone he was cutting had entered his lungs and given him the consumption, was pointed out. Approaching him, the representative of the Star asked: "Are you the man who has saved a rnrn number of persons from drowing?"

In one case I do not think that I was paid enough for my trouble." \.:- "How was that?" "One Sunday morning, when I lived in Sidney, Austratia, I went out for a walk along the wharfs. An elderly man, who was one ot the^ wealthiest merchants in the place, was standing on dock gazing earnestly into the water, I presume he became dizzy from the tide rushing past, for he suddenly fell headforemost into the water. He could not swim any more than a stone, and as the water was fifteen or twenty feet deep he certainly would have drowned had I not

plunged in after him and brought him out. We were both as wet as drowned rats, and as we stood there shivering on the dock for a moment he put his hand in his pocket and took out a—" "Five-hundred-poundnote, I presume?"

"flSDE TS&iSflS

"Not as much as that." *',%V "Well, £2301" "You are still too high.," "Was it £100?" "N-o-o." "How much then

Then Mr. Wilbur picked up his, chisel and maliet and resnmed his work on the stone with a will that showed that he meant to make up. for the time he had lost while talking with the reporter.

Iy name is Wilbur, and, thank God,

I have been the humble instrument of rescuing a goodly number of my fellow mortals from a watery grave." "How many lives have you saved "Fifty-seven." "Where?" «In Europe, Australia and America." "Please relate some of your exploits." "I do not like to talk about myself, and I am too busy to-day to tell long stories but I will give you an outline ot my history. I am Englishman by birth. I first saw the light of day in London fortytlirce years ago. My parents were poor, and I wa3 allowed to run in the streets pretty much as I liked. Of course, it was very natural for a boy like me to spend a large share of his time along the docks, ana become what was termed in London parlance a 'wharf-rat.' The police did not interfere with boys who bathed in the Thames River in those days, and I had jolly times swimming in the muddy water of that ancient stream, you may believe." "Oh, yes vou learned to be expert swimmer in that way, but the public will be more interested in reading some of your life-saving exploits. What was your first feat in this line?" "The first lives saved by me were those of a lady and her two children. It happened in this manner: The lady and her two children were passengers on an excursion steamer that went out from London to the Fishing Banks. Another steamer came along, and she requested the captain to transfer herself ana little ones to the latter vessel. The three people being transferred across the gang plank when one of the vessels lurched and they were thrown into the water Without waiting to tane oflf my coat or boots I plunged after them and was lucky enough to get both of the children before they sank the second time. Then 11 turned my attention to the mother, caught her just as she was going down for the third time. She was resuscitated with considerable difficulty, and when she opened her eyes the first words she uttered were: "If my children are drowned I do not w&nt to liv6.* I told lier that they were safe, and she was one of the happiest women in the world. Hef husband made me a present of £500, and offered to double the sum, but I would not consent." •JYou have accounted for three out of the" fifty-seven lives you claim to have saved. Now, what were the next instances?" "Oh, I never had the good luck to take three out of the water at once after saving the lady and her two children but within the next five years I must have saved about fifteen persons singly. I was a deckhand on an excursion steamer the most of the time, and had plenty of opportunities." "Were the people you saved mostly grown people or children "About as many of one as the other. I find that grown people get into the water as often as children." "Did you ever save a rich man's life "Yes, on two or three occasions." "And received liberal rewards, of course

I thuoght he was intending to give me a gold sovereign at least, and I was somewhat astonished when he told me to bite apiece from the plug and hand the remainder back to him." "Were you not sorryj^ou saved his life?" "A little at first but when I reflected that he was too mean to die, I was glad I had not allowed him to drown. I once saved a clergyman's life: he was a High Church of England minister." "Did the minister thank you?" ''No but he knelt right down and thanked the Lord that his life had been spared. But I presume it was all right, for I was the humble instrument in the hands of the Lord had him taken out of the water." "Have you saved any lives in America "not as many as in England. and Australia but I think I have done pretty good work here. When I lived in Boston I rescued six persons from drownding, and as I was working as a stone-ma-son at Cape May I saved a man on two occasions. I have picked several people out of the water at Poughkeepsee, Tarrytown and Peekskill, on the Hudson. But as I said before, I have not time to tell you about them in detail. I have kept an accurate account, and I know that fiif-ty-seven people are indebted to me for the presevatiou of their lives. I am too busy to talk to you any more to day." If As the reporter bade Mr. Wilbur good day the latter said: "Now, don't make too much of a hero of me in the paper, wantcredit for just what I have done, and nothing more. It is my ambition to save an even hundred lives before I 'shuffle off this mortal coil,', as the poet says."

'SflflSlLLY GAMITE

A TEERIEB AJTD A M0NXEY.

An Fxtraordinary Hatch at BatKilling. A London paper of recent date gives the following particulars af an extraordinary match at rat-killing: "Hollingwood, near Manchester, was the scene of a rather novel rat-killing match the other day between Mr. Benson's fox terrier dog, Turk and a Mr. Lewis' monkey, for £5. The conditions of the match were that eachi one had to kill twelve rats, and the one that finished them the quickest to lie de clared the winner You may guess wha. excitement this would cause in the "dog. gy,' circle. It was agreed that Turk was to finish his twelve rats first, which he' did, and in good time, too, many bets being made on the dog after he hadjfinished them. After a few minutes had elapsed it now became the monkey's turn, and a commotion it caused. Time being called, the monkey was immediately put to his welre rats, Mr. Lewis, the owner at the same time putting his hand into his coatpocket and handing the monkey a peculiar hammer. This was a surprise to the onlookers but the monkey was not long in getting to work with his hammer, ana once at work he was not long in completing the task set before him. You may talk about a dog bein^ quick at rat-killing but he is really not in it with the monkey and his hammer. Had the the monkey been left in the ring much longer you could not have told the victims haa ever been rats at all—he was for leaving them in all shapes. Suffice it to say the monkey won with ease, having time to spare at the finish. Most persons present (including

Mr. Benson, the owner of the dog) thought the monkey would worry the rats the some way as a dog does but the conditions said to kill, and the monkey killed with a vengeance, and won the £5 besides a lot of bets for his owner. Now, I wish to warn your readers never to match dog against a monkey—at rat.killing, anyhow.

I A Wonderful Record.

Myriads of so-called "specifics" and "cures" for Rheumatism have already been brought before the public, and many of them have even been endorsed by the certificates of respectable and prominent citizens who have derived benefit from such preparations. There is no doubt that a great many of these "Liniments, •'Oils," etc., so widely advertised and freely recommended for Rheumatism and painful complaints of a similar nature, have genuine merit and will relieve certaim types of the complaints named but when Rheumatism, Neuralgia and kindred diseases have become chronic and threaten serious results, you may rest as sured that they will help but very little Although not recommended as "infalli ble," the peculiar qualities of St. Jacobs Oil especially adapt it to those cases which may be termed "chronic," and which have previously withstood all known "specifics" as well as the prescriptions of the best physicians.

We would mention, as an example, the ase of Mr. A. Heilman, Editor of the Pittsburgh Republican, who suffered with Rheumatism for two years. After vainly using all the best recommended remedies and exhausting the skill of the most experienced physicians without even temporary relief, it required only two bottles of St. Jacobs Oil to effect a permanent cure. Mr. C. Hanni, a well-known citizen of Youngstown. Ohio secured for his wife, who for twelve years had been a constant sufferer from Neuralgia in the head, the services of the ablest physicians in the land, but they were unable t* do anything for her half a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil cured her. Mr. Wm. Reinhardt, Elmore Wis., reports the case of a neighbor wh

for twenty-four years had suffered so ter th Rheumatism that, at times, he

this season. It weighed three pounds. Taylorville, Pa., writes that his mother, The Eddy brothers, spiritualists, have who had been a continual sufferer with Rheumatism for the past thirty years, used one bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and was immediacy relieved of all pain. These are results which truly deserve to be brought to public notice but they are not exceptions, as will be seen by the numerous other certificates from all parts of the United States. It should be the duty of every one to call the attention of his suffering friends and neighbors to this wonderfully efficacious preparation, es ecially as the low price of 50 cents a ottle places it within the reach of all persons, rich and poor.
