Syracuse Journal W. G. CONNOLLY, Publisher. ’SYRACUSE INDIANA e..—... ■ ...I .. ..a CITY OFFICIAL PROVED HERO Sailors Do Wqtl to Honor the Memory of Thomas Powell, Brave Rescuer of Seamen. One of the dramatic incidents of the “great storm” that devastated England in 1703 was the rescue of 200 seamen from the Goodnsip sands. Charles F. Talman, of the United States weather bureau, describes it: “Several vessels were stranded here at low tide, and their men could be plainly seen from Deal, ■walking about on the sands or clinging to the wreckage, signaling for assistance before the rising waters should ingulf them. Their appeals were not heded at first, for the boatmen of Deal were only concerned with gathering the booty that the sea had brought them, and cared nothing for the lives of the wretched sailors. It was an age in which shipwrecks were an important source of revenue to dwellers on the British coasts, and the professional wrecker still flourished. Only one man was moved to pity— Thomas Poweil. mayor of Deal, a humble slop-seller by trade. “Powell first appealed to the custom house authorities, who refused to send out their boats upon an errand of mercy; then he called a number of citizens about him. and by an offer of 5 shillings a head for all who should b* saved from the wrecks, succeeded 1 in enlisting a numerous party of res- 1 cuers. He next proceeded to seize j by forije the custom bouse boats as ■ well as several other bodts that were ' being used in gathering plunder, and i thus equipped he brought ashore as ' many of the unfortunate saijo.rs as i possible, though hundreds perished i before they could be reached. “These he fed and lodged at bis own : charge, as the queen’s agent’ for sick ’ and wounded seamen declined to do i anything for them. The next day sev- | eral died, and were buried—again at! the expense of the magnanimous mayor—and the rest he provided with the means of reaching London. Long afterward he was reimbursed by the government.” Chinese View of Millinery. Speaking to a Chinese gentleman the other day an Englishman asked him if the Chinese ladies will emulate the men and go in for western headgear In reply he beamed a smile most childlike and bland. Pressed for something more definite, he remarked: “Did you not know that it is a well-known fact among the Chinese that the reason. so many European husbands look harassed and careridden and the further reason why so many of your young men refrain from marriage is this very question of millinery? Ladies’ fiats cost so much that they spell ruin and so we Chi nese have told our women folk that we absolutely forbid them to follow western faslngtas in this regard, whatever they may do in other directions.” —Pekin News. Animals Sense Danger of Storm. Horace Smith, a prospector, who annually makes a visit to the Covina valley. Cal., from the fastnesses of the Sierra Madre mountains, says that the tree squirrels, skunks and practically all other animals found in the Interior wilds have forsaken the mountains and have come down to the foot hills, where they are burrowing deep in the earth to protect themselves from a great storm that is brewing. The prospector is borne cut, in his statement by several old mountaineers who have noticed the same thing. “I have noticed this fear on the part of animals several times in my mountain experience,” said the prospector, “and each time there has been ■i storm in interior mountains.” /’X Penguin Wedding. Dr. Charcot devoted a section of fits, lecture on Antarctic experiences to the amusing antics of the penguins, which he said were very much like - human beings in their behavior. - ’ Sometimes a couple t of betrothed penguins could be seen seated close together in loverlike fashion in a re•ess formed by blocks of ice and observation had shown that subsequent- ■ the same couple attended before a bird penguin, who might be called the clergyman or the registrar, for the positions of all three were similar to those occupied by the minister and the bride and the bridegroom at a wedding.—Lpndon Daily News.

Heads for the Average Man. “The average man will call ‘heads’ when a point Is to be decided by a coin,” said the traveler. “For a season I had a lot of night journeys with a troupe and there weren’t enough berths to go around. About every fourth night some one of three of us had, to take an upper. "I always put a dollar, tails up, on my knee and covered it with my hand. ’ letting the other fellow do the calling—and I seldom lost. I suppose if the phrase ran tails or heads.’ It would bo the other way.”

I NEVER WEDS TALK

Mountciair, N. J., Turns Out En Masse to Hear Reasons. ! 1 But They Wore Masks, Even Voices Were Changed—Rumor Says Story Tellers vAre All Married or Engaged. • -r , ' 1 Montclair, N. J.—There is a lot of unsatisfied curiosity in Montclair, ■ but it has been demonstrated how to fill a church. The other night was the time set ; for the appearance of the Never Weds, i Don’t knqw ’em, do you? Well, neith- , er does any one in Montclair, but ( there is a lot of guessing on. The never Weds were seven spinsters and seven bachelors who weje to come right out in public, like they were “saying a piece’’ in school, and " tell why they had never married. They were to reveal the awful secret to a waiting world in the First Methodist church, and for the first time on record in Montclair, an S. R. O. sign was necessary at a church. The crowds piled in, expecting to meet the unwedded ones face to face. - They did, but the Maces of the unwedded were JcovereoSln other words, the seven couples were disguised. i Their own mothers wouldn’t have ! known them. “We’ll know-’em when we heartheir I voices,” .complacently declared the curious ones in the audience. But they didn’t. In addition to masks, wigs, false beards and fantastic costumes, the spinsters and “old bachs” used such clever elocution nobody could size them up. The first old maid explained that when she played the ingenue the meh treated her like a. doll; when she became an athlethic gifl they treated her like a chum. She had tried prayer and- got no response unless the blessing was in not getting a man, so she had concluded she would next try hypnotism or mental science.

COSTS MONEY TO BE MAYOR English Officials Have to Be Satisfied With Glory and Honor—Liverpool Executive Well Paid. London. —The mayors of London find their executive dignity much more expensive than provincial mayors. In most of the cities and towns of the United Kingdom an ’ amount is voted by the council sufficient to cover the ordinary expenses of the mayor. But in London it is dif- [ ferent. The lord mayor, of course, is in a class by himself. He gets an allowance of $50,000 for his year of office, and the average amount he has to add to that out of his own pocket is an- ' other $50,000. Outside the city of London proper, which is the lord mayor’s ■ district, Ixmdon is divided into 28 metropolitan boroughs. i Os the provincial cities Liverpool is the mos’ generous to its mayor, giving a fixed salary of SIO,OOO, which is added to when extaordinary expenses are • incurred. The Liverpool council also pays about $4,000 a year for horses and carriages. Birmingham, now the second largest city in the United King- ' dom, made a grant for the mayor last i year for the first time, fixing the sum at $5,000. Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds i and Leicester, all places where the i position of mayor necessarily entails t a very considerable expense, make > no grant. i Mother Smothers Babe. , Columbus, O.—Excited over the re- ■ eovery of the body of a relative, drown • f ed in a river, Mrs. Clinton Daw hugged tier infant to her breast so tightly that the baby smothered to death.

The first bachelor declared he was good looking, had enough money to support a home and wanted to marry. But he had never met a girl who inspired him with enough assurance he would not be turned down if he proposed to her. The next speaker said she waa single because there were so many men like the one who had just spoken. “You want us to propose to you,” she said. “Nothing venture, nothing win. I want to be carried by storm." The next bach declared that he had loved only once. He was one of the daring sort, but after interviewing the girl’s father they carried him home on a shutter. Never again! The next “girl” explained that she spent so much time learning to cook and sew for a prospective husband he had lost interest in her before she ‘fiecame efficient, and she had never had another chance. Then a suffragette gave her testimony. She would willingly wed provided her husband would .let her live her own life. The next three bachelors said she could as far as they were concerned, and that it was her kind that had scared them off. The last “old maid” naively admitted she was unmarried because no one had ever asked her. Each of the explanations brought forth roars of laughter and kept everybody trying to ! guess who the speaker was, but not a disguise could be penetrated. It was said after the seven couples had giddily waltzed off the stage arm in arm, singing, “I’m seeing Nellie Home,” that one of the couples is.engaged, and—worse still—that the other six are married!.

Pittsburg, Pa. —Shocked by an illustration of the “Grizzly Bear” dance, Judges Reid and Haymaker refused to grant a preliminary injunction allowing the opening o£ a dance hall, ordered closed by the McKeesport mayor.

Government Spies in All Lands -

England’s Excitement Over Conviction of Bernard Stewart, a London Lawyer, in Germany. Kansas City, Mo. —A new game has caught the fancy of Europe. It is played in the dark with dangerous weapons. Sometimes the reward is money, sometimes it is honor, more often it is imprisonment and occasionally it is death. It is . the game of espionage. , In times of war spies are numerous. Any soldier knows that, k They are selected for their coolness in times of danger, histrionic ability and loyalty. A spy plays his game alone. If he wins, he aids his country; if he loses, it is death. But in times of peace, and all Europe is at peace except Italy and Turkey, espionage has not been considered good form. Os course all governments have had, their secret agents. They were men trained in that business. They were detectives. But of late army officers, naval officers, noblemen and® persons of high repute Have entered the espionage game and ap-‘ parently just for the zest of the mission. Even national Jeeling toward the spy seems to have undergone a decided change. Take the case of Captain Lux of the French' army. He had. been imprisoned at Graetz, Prussia, serving i four years’ sentence. One night he escaped and after a week’s dangerous travel reached France. He was received as n hero. People went wild

65 YEARS MAKES AN OLD MA!D This Is Opinion of Woman Who Disagrees With Judge’s Opinion. St. Louis, Mo,—At what age does a woman drift into old maidship? Asked this question, more than a ..score of women ranging in age from 14 to 40, and then some, became peevish. The younger set refused a reply, undoubtedly in silent defense of older sisters, and the older, lost its temper somewhat, for obvious reasons. But one was brave enough to speak. Miss Caroline Thummek attorney and school teacher, declared a woman was not an old maid until she has passed 65 years. She also added a woman can make herself an old maid at almost any age. Justice J. F. Boyer of Chicago. 111., sets the age of entry into the old maid class at 25 years. “He is off in his t judgment.” said Miss Thummel. “Why, no woman should marry until she is more than 25 years old and is sure she has sense. It takes a woman of experience to pick a tolerably satisfactory 1 man nowadays, and few women have practical experience until they are much beyond 25 years old.” TO FENCE LEPER ON LAND John R. Earle and Family Wilf Be Confined on Acre Tract at Summit, Wash.

at the mention of his name. A puvsa. of gold was subscribed. Officially j France frowned and ordered Captain j Lux back to. duty, but it cannot be dis- I puted that he was the man of the j moment. Russia and Germany have almost. placed spies of peace on the basis of ' prisoners of war. A few weeks ago ; these two governments made a for- I mal exchange of spies, just as prison- ] ers would be exchanged in war. Now England is in the midst of a | popular demonstration against Ger- i many. It results from a four and a half years’ sentence a German court gave Bertrand Stewart, a Londdn lawyer and officer in a territoriarl regiment. British newspapers are/assailing Germany bitterly. Demonstrations are being held and probably the British foreign office will recognize the affair and make a formal request that Stewart be set free. In England a half dozen or more - Germans and Russians have been tried on spying charges. But a few days ago Heinrich Grosse, an officer of the German merchant marine, was' tried at Winchester and sentenced to three " years. And so it goes in most all the nations of Europe. The game apparently appeals to the officers. It gives them a chance to get a little adven- • ture in lieu of humdrum life at a barracks.

Salvation Through Christ By Rev. James M. Gray, D. Dean of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago IV-—-—-— l - „.. t" r—r.:-: -rT~T.U

i TEXT—Who his own self bare our sins . In his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto ■ righteousness; by whose stripes ye were | healed: For ye were as sheep going as- | tray; but are now returned unto the j Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.—l Teter 2:24-25. *'■

Peteifa in thio chapter is speaking to Christians who are undergoing p e r s e c ution and suffering because of their faith at the hands of the pagans, and ' he is urging them to have their man- ' ner of living ‘hon- j est,’ open and I above board in I the presence of their ca 1 u mniators, whose own : ! conversion may : be brought about

v I s ;>*g|y I

i by it. He teaches that Christians should submit themselves to those in 1 authority over them, whether govern- ■ ! mental or industrial, for the Lord’s sake, and thye should do it even in j the case of those masters that are not i good and gentle, but “forward.” In I I the course of the argument he adduces the example of Christ, who, although without sin, was reviled, but did not ! revile again, and whoso sufferings were carried to the extent of the cross. Tho description of these sufferings is fourfold, each one of the four particu- ! lars illustrating a different aspect of ! the salvation men may < through him. The Strange Law of Tokyo. First, 'he tells us his sufferings ! wero substitutionary,“Who his own self | bare our sins in his own body in the tree.” It is not long ago since there was an ordinance in Tokyo, Japan, to the effect that no foreigner could take up his residence there without providing for himself a native substitute, who, in the event of his violating any law, would suffer the penalty in his stead. As soon as he arrived the ques- : tion would be put to him, “Who stands ! for you?” Jesus Christ stands for all who put their trust in him. In the second place, he tells us that the design of Christ’s sufferings was that men “might live unto righteousness,” that is that they might become enabled to. live that kind of life set before them in the preceding verses. I know a lad who, when he does anything very questionable and his conscience begins to trouble him, always asks his mother, “Will that keep me out of heaven?” If the answer is in the negative he is safisfied. But the 1 salvation of Jesus Christ is not for the purpose merely of getting into heaven, but of living right at the present time. I Tho Croquet Ball. ; There used to be a rule in croquet ; that when you struck your opponent’s : ball you were “dead” upon it so far as , that play was concerned. The Christian believer may be said to be repre- : sented by the ball, while sin is the mallet in Satan’s hand. Sin has struck i the believer once in the person of his i substitute, Jesus Christ, and can not | strike him again. When Christ died, he died to sin in the sense that it could ! never again bring him to the place of I judgment, and it is the teaching of the i New Testament that the believer died ■ in him in the same sense. It is this fact which sets the believer free to live a life of righteousness, and it is the apprehension of it as a fact through the Holy Spirit, that communicates the power and inspiration to him so to live. The third thing Peter tells us about | the sufferings of Christ is their ne- ! ccssity. “Ye were as sheep going asI tray.” Travelers in the Orient tell us I that the tendency of a sheep is always ; to go farther and farther astray; and. ; so mtm, if left to himself, never will ' return to God of his own accord. No j | process of education or evolution will | I. ever bring him there. Man is not a i member of a rising but a fallen and a I falling race, and ho who delays to reI ceive the son of God now will be farth- ; er away from him tomorrow than he i is today. Hence the urgency of the gospel invitation ttrat “now is tho accepted time, today the day of salvation.” Finally, he teaches us the result of Christ’s sufferings. “Ye are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your Souls.” “Returned” signifies that man in Christ is brought back to that place of fellowship with God* he enjoy? . ed before the fall. Indeed, his fellowship now is on a surer foundation. There was a contingency in the case of the first Adam, but there is none in that of the second. The latter has kept the law as well as paid the penalty for those who receive him, and their restored condition is thus eteis nally secure. Let me exhort you therefore to receive the Saviour by a definite act of faith today, that the peace of God taay become yours—the peace that springs from the knowledge that your sins are forever put away. And thus receiving the Holy Spirit as the further gift of God, you will have power to live a life of righteousness unto him.

SAW FAMOUS BATTLEFIELD How Wilson's Creek Appeared Year or More After It Had Become Known Over Country. ; The appearance of the Wilson’s creek battle field a year and more 4 after this obscure Missouri valley be- | came'known to all the country is de i scribed in a letter written November I 24, 1862. by the late Capt. William Van Gundy of the Ninety-fourth Illinois regiment, which was concerned in the Arkansas-Missouri campaign of that season. The letter is now in the possession of Captain Van Gundy’s grandson, A. L. Benedict of Franklin Park, 111. It is, in part, as follows: j “Wilson’s creek, Mo., Nov. 24, 1862. . -I wrote you two letters since we ! left Springfield, in which I gave you , an account of our march up to the i twenty-first, when we were camped on i the James river. We left there the J next morning and traveled about a I mile west, when we were halted and ! two companies were detailed to build | a bridge across the river. This was ; done by piling up rails in the Water for pillars about fifteen feet apart; then logs were laid from one pile to • the other for sills; then rails were ' laid across on the logs for a floor to walk on. The bridge was about l ?i ' I feet long. It took about one and one ! half hours to build it. We crossed I over with dry feet, blit we did not stop to put the. rails back on the fence again. i “After we had crossed the river we kept bearing to the north until we struck the main road from Springfield • to Cassville. Then we came about a I mile toward Springfield to Wilson j creek, where we camped and we are I still here. Herron's whole division is ! camped here, about 10,000 men. Tot- ■ ten’s division is about ten miles south, i We are about one and one-half miles ' south of the battle ground. “Yesterday was a beautiful Sabbath day, and' Henry, Ad. Branaman, Gip Watkins and John Furr and myself went over to see the battle ground. We followed the road until we came to a large frame house, where they told us Price had his cannon planted in front and about fifteen feet from the house. It was here that Sigel took : Price’s cannon and burned his train i of wagons. The house shows the esT iinw" I ■ ’? IV-J - i'T- ’ “There Is a Pile of Rocks Where He Fell.” sects of the battle*. The weather boarding is’ pierced with musket balls. One twelve-pound cannon ball went” clean through the kitchen and a piece of a shell cut its way through the cornice. . t “We went on about half a mile northwest qf this house and we came to the spot where General Lyon was killed. I confess that as I went up to the place there was a feeling came I over me different from anything I i ever experienced before. I had read over and over about the battle and his death, not dreaming that I would ever see the place, but here I was, right on the very spot where he. fell. The spot is kept sacred. There is a pile of rocks where he fell, and every body that goes to see the place puts a stone on the pile. I put two. and all that were with me did the same. The bones of his two horses are lying about twelve feet from where he fell. It is a very rough and uneven place for a battle. There are trees and bushes all over it, and there is hardly a tree or bush that escaped the bullets.” Not From Indiana. Colonel Mundy was a thorough Kentuckian, and had all the local pride cl one born in the Blue Grass section He also had the prejudice against be ing taken for an Indianian whico seems inherent in native-born Ken tuckians. Once a stranger accosted him and said: “Are you not Colonel Mundy bf Indlana?” The Kentuckian sprang from hU seat, and, glaring at his interlocutor, exclaimed angrily: “No, sub! No, sub! The reason * look so bad is because 1 have been sick.”
