Self-possessed, easy and tactful in address, he is resolute and resourceful There is nothing unduly assertive about him, but one quickly perceives the self-reliafice and fearlessness of this young man. He is the youngest speaker of the | New York assembly since Edmund L Pitts; forty vears ago A i of the house at the last session, he at- tracted little attention upon the floor, but made .many friends and was faith ful and energetic in committee work At the very outset of his career as speaker he encountered trouble. Tak- ing the reigns of authority firmly with- in his own grasp, he made some un- expected changes mm committee assign ments. Those wld were not pleased -- and among them were some veteran and prominent. members -- made vigorous protests. Several declined assignments given them, and a serious revolt against the youthful speaker was threatened Only smiles, however, wreathed the, pleasant face of "Jimmy" Wadsworth Not one line's breadth did he turn from his course. Soon dissatisfaction sub- sided and the body settled down to work. The importance of his position is due not only to the fact of being presid- ing officer of the papular branch of leg- islation in the greatest state in the Union, with all the influence and power attaching, but because this session pro- mises to be a history-making one. All the world will watch its course upon the problem of Jife insurance leg- islation, for instance Should Ne York lead wisely, the other states. w doubtless follow : Then, too, sensational velopments may appear at Albany.

Kingston, Feb, 16.~(To the Editor): 1 see by the papers that the council re ceived a request from D. O'Leary, ask- ing them to call the attention of the Humane Society to the timely assist: ance rendered to the drowning battery men, last year, by J. R. Forster, and it brought to my mind the hetoic ac tion of the little Twigg girl in saving theJife_of young Staley at the west end breakwater on July TUh last year; when Staley had gone down for the gocond time, This hittle girl was only soven years of age, and she got down on her little stomach and leaning over handed Staley @ne end of an umbrel- la, sho had with her. This kept him up until John Gleason, who was at: tracted by her shouts, went to the res cue. It showed the remarkable presende of mina of this little girl, and her per: sondl bravery in doing what she did at the risk of being pulled into the water herseli; is. worthy of emulation by older people, and her heroism should not go unrewarded. Khe was ill for seven or cit days after with nervous prostration brought on by the strain on her ner Vous system m her endeavors to res cue the hoy.
