Dllneeath wae on hla way to visit his brother at Peoria, Ill., and the other two were going out weat. Ahoul 10 o'clock the same night, a.a the -(11rry V iotoria. was rounding 11p ~t the Woodward a.venu? wha.rf, a. man.. a~p'ped into the en· gin~er 1 room, aud witpo'u1t · much apparent excitement slid : "There's a. man overboard." The engineer "dashed out of the engine-room and .se.<itiring a life preserver followed hi1 infomiant to the aide of the boat. The engineer could . see nothing and heard no outcry, though t.h e·:ma.n who had informed him tried. to point out a ha.t, which he said he could see floating on a pillce of ioe, The man wbo had told the engineer of the occurrence did not seem to be worried, 11.nd the oa.ptain wae not called down, the engineer making up his mind that it was a · k d t 11' h · b k JO e, an ! e mg t e oaptam so, went ac . to his engmo. as tho Victoria wa.e ma.de fast to h A s soon h t e w arf, however· the strMlger repe~ieil his story t o the captain, a.nd brought up a companion to corroborate it. '.Fhey g11ove their names a.s Jamea Cars~n and Paul Gallagher and said that the name of the ma.n drowned was Dunseo.th. Whether t he man del~beratelv jumped overboard or !oat his bah.nee 1md fell in is not clea.r. He had complained of feeling unwell befor e getting on the boat at Wind· sor, and on the trip across he leaned over the rail and vomited into the water, H is friends stood talk.Ing within a few feet of him. They turned around only to see him keel over the ra.11 a.nd drop head fir~t into t he water, Capt. Clinton, who we.e in the pilot house at the time, so.ya that It was almost impos· sible for a person to have fallen over'board accidentally from where Dunseath was lean· Ing, and he believes that the c~se was sui· cide, The railing la brrnst high; a person could not get ovel' i~ without an effort.

Flve weekn ago the wife of Charles P. l'ruin, a. dentist of Chicago, gave birth t o a child . This wa.a followed by an &ttack of puerperal mania, They were living at the suburb of Oa.k Pa.rk, As bis wife grew'· worse rapidly Mr. Fruin consulted a physician, who, afte1· neeing the patient, recommended the use of- a1ne2thetics to quiet her nerves, The doctor here alluded to did not handl e th~ case, but an Oak Park physician was called in and he alao i>dopted the same caurae of treatment, ad ministering · STRONG DOSES OF MOHl'IIINE, The lady was found to be rapidly sinking, till one night she fell back on the pillow lifelees. Her breathing had ceas6d and the pulse was gone, The attending physician, who was by her eide, m11.de the nsual examination and distinctly pronounced her dead, Still, the husband would not be convinced. He placed his hand upon his wife's chest and by some 01ethod tried to produce an artificial respiration, ha.ving ..long made a special study of anresthetios in oonneotlon with his profession. He proceeded to work the arms back and forth, presclng his hand on tho cheat , thus pr oducing an artificial movement. The two dootors who stood by not only endeavored to dissuade him from · continuing the operation, but remonstrated with him for oommittnng wh11t they deemed a prefa.na.tion of the dead. He continued · hie efforts, and a.fter a. la.pae of some minutes the patient BEGAN SLO WLY TO REVIVE, She h&e steadily improved and iB now able to movo around. The doctor.a confess th11ot she would certainly have died but for these oxtmordinary efforta at restoration, P r oud of His Sister. The Ohic&go Trib14ne relates the case of a young man who was rega.rded as a. phenomunon, uecau Je he took his sister to all the best entertainmente, and aotna.lly devoted himself to her during the lecture and opera sea.non, Being praised for his nnusue.l a~ tentiou to his sist er, the young man prom"Ptly and proudly repiied : · "No, there's nothing wonderful or extra. ordinary about it. She is the only woman I know in whom I have the moat thorough confidence. She is i>lwa.ys the same, always pleasant and affeotion11ote, and to tell you the candid truth, I am afraid she'll go and marry some of those imitation men a.round here, and b e unhappy all her life. " She he.a nobody else to look to, and I'll take care she doea not have to look to any. body else, I suppose some day a genuine man will come a.long. If he's a genuine man, I won't object, Until he does come, she's good enough for mG, and If I ever find as ~cod a girl, I 'll marry her. " '.I.he example is most commendable. A youniz man would do well t o seek his sister's sooiety nntil he finds e.nother l ady as good as his sister. ~~--.-. ·~·~~·+ttH-=--~~- OUR ORDERED CLOTHING IS BOOMING, The people know that if they - want a- FIRST-CLASS CUT suit of clothes they must call upon IVES.
