About 11 o'clock some of the residents at the sum- mer resorts near Aylmer heard prolonged cries for help conning across the water. No attention was paid to them, however, as there -have been so many fako alarms given this Summer by alleged prac- tical jokers in boats out on the lake. Finally about 2 o'clock on Thurs- day morning, as faint cries were still heard, some members of the Victoria Yacht Club put off to the rescue, and a steam launch went out from Echo Beach. Some dist- ance out they found an overturned boat with two young men, L. buyer and E. Guertin, of Aylmer, clinging to it, and just ready to let go from exhaustiot►. The two girls, unable to cling longer to t•hc boat, CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS 11APPENINGS FROM ALL OVER IRE GLOB& Telegraphic Briefs From Onr and Other Countries t4 Recent Eveuts. CANADA.

A CHINESE MARTYR. Woman Was Ambitious to Become Educated. Some one has said that if the wo- men persist, they aro bound to have the suffrage, because they are wo- men. Success conies from persist- ence. In China a parallel case is evident in the desire of women to share in the advantages of educa- tion. The majority of the Chinese, according to a writer in the Atlan- tic Monthly, look upon this attitude as scandalous, and not at all to be encouraged. Many heartrending tragedies have been brought about by insol- uble conflicts of duty toward the old and the new. A short time ago, it an interior village in Kiang Su, a woman, ambitious to become educated, killed herself after bad treatment from her husband's re- latives. Her farewell letter was everywhere copied by the Chinese press. It has become a national document, and almost a charter of the new movement. In it occur tho following sentences: "I am about to die to -day because my husband's parents, having found great fault with mo for hav- ing unbound my feet, and declaring that I have been diffusing such an evil influence as to have injured the reputations of my ancestors, have determined to put me to death.

At first they intended to starve me, bit now they compel me to commit suicide by taking poison. "I do not fear death at all, but how can I part from my children, who are so young'? Indeed, there should bo no sympathy for me, but the mere thought of the destruction of my ideals, and of my young chil- dren, who will without doubt bo compelled to live in tho old way, makes my heart almost break." The blood of such martyrs is be- ginning to make its impression up- on the Chinese people, and is turn- ing them to favor more liberal po- pjuler customs. A nation in which a spirit of such ruthless self-sacri- fice is still so common may bring forth things that will astonish the world. It has been said that "China con- tains materials for a revolution, if she should start ono, to which the horrors of the French Revolution would be a mere squib" ; but if turned into different channels, this seirit of self-sacrifice may, as it did in the vaso of Japan, bring about a quick regeneration of national life and national prestige, through the establishment of new institu- tions, that correspond to the cur- rents of life thus striving to assert themselves.

That time and persistence in present methods will certainly a:. - sure the extinction of the deiry in dustry and of the human race, was the alarming statement made re- cently by Mr. Nathan Straus, the New York philanthropist, who has been fighting tuberculosis for 18 years Mr. Straus read a paper bo - fore the International Dairy Con- gress, in session at Budapest, Austria. Stating that the great white plague of tuberculosis persists and spreads among cattle and among people largely because of the white peril of tuberculous milk, Mr. Straus said:- TUBERCULOUS aid:- TUBERCULOUS COWS. "Tuberculous cows bear healthy calves and straightway infect them with this disease through the milk that they give to their young, and when the calves are weaned these diseased cows supply the germs of the white plague to the human be- ings who use their milk. Thus we are inviting the extermination of the dairy industry and of the hu- man race, for this plague is increas- ing both among cattle and among men, and it will increase like the spreading of a fire so long as the milk swarming with tubercle bacilli is used as food for calves or babies. There is a mathematical certainty as to this fact. PROTECTING BABIES. "But we need not sitdown in stupid helplessness and give tuber- culosis undisputed sway on the dairy farm and in the honto. We have tae tuberculin test to detect the infected animals, and the Bang methou of segregating the diseased cows and using those that aro only slightly affected to bear calves, which can be brought up without contracting the disease by taking them from the cows and feeding them on pasteurized milk. This will save the dairy herds. And a have the perfectly feasible method of saving the babies by pas- teurizing all the milk that does not come from tuberculin -tested herds. twenty four are more or less seri- ously injured. In all thirty-three were buried for a time in the ruins. All the lower portion of the building had been cut away, the eight of the upper stories being supported by heavy beams. A huge girder that was being slowly hauled into the building struck one of three timbers, knocking it from its position. The rest of the supports were not strong enough to carry the weight, and the sides and front of the building fell, carrying ever)thing sway with it. GLENETI WITH NEEDLE.

"Eighteen years ago I declared that it would soon be regarded as a crime to feed a young child upon milk that had not been pasteurized. I was optimistic. Intelligent farm- ers now regard it as a folly to feed a calf or a pig with unpasteurized milk unless they know by the tub- erculin test that the cow is free from tuberculosis, but Chicago is the only city in tho world that takes such precautions to save its people from tuberculosis." To show that he was not exagger- ating, Mr. Straus quoted the re- port of Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the American Bureau of Animal, Industry, in which ho shows that more than 10 per cent. of the dairy cattle are tuberculous and that "this disease is undoubtedly on the increase." Mr. Straus also said that, Dr. .V A. Moore had found tuberculosis in 302 herds out of 421 examined, about one-third of the animals being affected. Mr. Straus added: TUBERCULIN TEST RELIABLE. quoted at COUNTRY PRODUCE. Beans -Prime, 82.20 to $2.23, and hand-picked, $2.40 to $2.45 per bushel.

"Yet for the past nineteen years we have had a practically infallible method of singling out the tuber- culous cattle. 1)r. John It, Mohler, of the American Depart- ment of Agriculture, has compiled the records of 24,781 applications of the tuberculin test, and has found that in all but, 397 of these cases postmortem examination showed tuberculosis indisputably." As for the consequences of dairy- men selling tuberculous milk, Mr. Straus pointed out that there had been in New York city in two years an increase of 33 per cent. in the number of new case' of tuberculosis, a fact which the health Department of the city tried to explain, but did not, deny. At this rate, he said, within a generation the great wealth of the American metropolis would be insufficient to provide hospitals for the tuberculous patients. LOSS TO FARMEiRS. Mr. Straus said the bovine tub- erculosis now cost the American farmer $14,000,000 a year, and the immediate killing of all the tuber- culous dairy cows, if it could be ef- fects'd, would cost a billion, but flint pasteurization would infallibly kill the germs of tuberculosis and all other disease germs that might be in the milk. +----- THiS iS NOT SO.

ESCAPE OF Two CONVICTS Prisoners Made Sudden Dash and Got Away From the Edmonton Penitentiary. A despatch from Edmonton, Al- berta, says: A daring and success- ful escape was made on Wednesday by two eonvie•ttt at Edmonton Peni- tentiary. Tho men are John C. Atkinson, undergoing a five-year sentence, and Jack Johnson, the negro who assaulted the guard some months ago, and who has an indefinite sentence of about, six years of imprisonment to serve. The wen aro thought to be hiding in the bush, which lies several miles north and east of the prison yards. The manner of their escape indicates the daring of the two men, and the apparent carelessuess of several guards who were stationed on sen- try duty on the fence and awned with Ross rifles and repeating re- volvers. Atkinron and Johnson hero working ou the excavation for the now cell block, to the rear of the present building. and near the centre of the prison yard. Other convicts were at the other end of the excavation, and scattered in various directions throughout the yard. Atkinson and Johisson, how- ever, were alone wheeling clay from the excavation, which was about four feet, deep. Suddenly they seized a long plank, on which were cleats, which was used for running their wheelbarrows up to the sur- face. With this they ran to the east end of the fence, about eight feet distant, and placing it against the wall, were soon up and over, taking cover in the brush. by 30 to 50c than last week.

There are nearly 1,000,000 school children in the country to -day who will die of this disease before they are of age, the statement, continued. To offset this yearly waste, the chil- dren are being educated about the dangers of tuberculosis and the me- thods to bo taken for its prevention, and during the school year just closed over 3,500,000 of the 17,000,- 000 school children in the United States, the society states, have re- ceived such training.

BATTLE NEAR PITTSBURG Strikers Attack Vessel and Rifles Used at the Pressed Steel Company's Works. A despatch from Pittsburg, Penn., says : Wednesday was a day of most fearful rioting at the mills of the Pressed Steel (.'ar Company at Mchee's Hocks, six miles below Pittsburg. .1t least one hundred persons were injured in gun bat- tles, by thrown rocks and clubs, end at midnight one thousand angry strikers were grouped around the works, each with a half brick or a gun. Eight persons were so seriously injured in the clashes that they could not be berried away by their friends. Three of those injured badly in the Ohio Valley Hospital cannot spenk English. and their names cannot be 'enteral. Late Wednesday seeping the Steel Queen, a steamer owned by the Pressed Steel Company. and supposedly filled with strike break- ers, attempted to entsr the mill Lards from Ow (thio River through a water gate and un, fired en by three hundred ,trikets on the river bank. Those on the Steel Llseen returned the fire promptly, and pr bably a hundred shots were fired before the boat turned about and ran for the opposite shore of the Ohio River. The Pressed Steel ('ar Company is now in close Cmmniunication with the authorities at Washington, ask- ing that, something be done at once, because the Steel Queen was ply- ing on United States waters at the time the strikers opened fire on her. At least half a dozen of the strikers appeared to have been bit 1,s bullets from the Steel Queen's marksmen. but it is not known whe- ther any on the vessel was hit or r:ut. The Steel lar Cvurpany de - chives none of their men were in- jured. Dr. Davidson of the Ohio Valley Hospital says that he dressed the wounds of nineteen seriously in- jured persons on Wednesday, % hose names be did not glean, and each of whom declined to remain in the hospital. 1n addition to this, scores were attended 10 by other physir ians in the hospital. %hilts the physicians in town have been busy since noun binc:iag up wounds.
