Exeter Advocate, 1909-07-22, Page 3TWO SISTERS ARE 011OWNEBhcoNbED%"S'Tt''S Crie3 For Help Disregarded Owing to .�� Recent False Alarms. A despatch from Ottawa says: Jenny and Dorothy Green, two waitresses at the Victoria Hotel, Aylmer, Que., were drowned early on 'Thursday morning in Lake Desehenes, a wide stretch of the Ottawa River, about nine miles "above the capital. About 11 o'clock some of the residents at the sum- mer resorts near Aylmer heard prolonged cries for Help coming across the water. No attention was paid to them, however, as there have been so many fake alarms given this Summer by alleged prac- tical jokers in boats out on the lake. Finally about 2 o'clock on Thurs- day morning, us 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. Loyer and E. Guertin, of Aylmer, clinging to it, and just ready to let go from exhaustion. The two girls, unable to cling longer to the boat, had let go an hour or so before, and sunk. The party had left Aylmer in the evening and trussed to the Ontario shore. Returning about 11 o'clock, their boat began to leak rapidly, and, filling with water, capsized. Loyer, who is a good swimmer, succeeded in temporarily rescuing both of the girls, and the whole four while shouting for help, clung to the boatfor a couple of hours. The girls, then completely exhausted, gave up the struggle. GARY ILIRRET'T HANGED. Convict Protested His Innocence to the Last. A despatch from Edmonton, Alberta, says: Protesting his in- nocence to the last, and declaring that he had killed Deputy Warden Stedman of Attie' to Penitentiary, formerly of Toronto, in self-de- fence, Gary It. Barrett was hanged on Wednesday morning in the cor- ridor of the prison. The drop bo- ing sprung, it, required fifteen minutes before the doctors pro- nounced him dead, as the noose had slipped. Death was due to stran- gulation, and not a broken neck. His son, who was not permitted to be present at the execution, was given the body, which will bo taken to Butte, Montana, for burial. The condemned man showed the utmost unconcern, save that he objected to the oration be wished to deliver be- ing cut short. + ('RUSiIED iIV A ('Alt. Messrs. Williams and Hughill Seri- ously Injured. A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says : While standing on a trestle leading to the open- hearth furnace at the plant of the Algoma Steel Company on Thurs- day morning, Messrs. D. J. Willi- ams and Archie Hughill were struck by a car shunted from the furnace and seriously injured. Both then were taken to the hospital, and it is feared Williams will not recover. Mr. Williams is superintendent of the open-hearth furnace, and Mr. Hughill is chief chemist for the company. They were engaged in conversation and did not see the car approaching. and were pinned against the girders. Mr. Hughill sustained very serious injuries to the left side. and Mr. Williams was injured about the chest. Messrs Hughill and Williams are among the most popular business men in the Canadian Soo. + SUBMARINE SINK. British Vessel Cut Down by Steam- er and Crew Perish.

A CHINESE MARTYR. Woman Was Ambittous to Become Educated. Some ono has said that if the wo- men persist, they are bound to have the suffrage, because they are wo- men. Success comes from persist- ence. In China a parallel case is evident in the desire of women to share in the advantages of educa- tion. Tho 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, in 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 es erywhere copied by the Chinese press. It has become a national document, and almost a charter of the new movement. 1 1 it, occur the following sentences: "I ant 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 hate injured the reputations of ray ancestors, have determined to put me to death. "Maintaining that they will be severely censured by their relatives, once 1 enter a school and receive instruction, they have been trying hard to deprive the of life, in order, as they say, to stop beforehand all the troubles that 1 may cause. At first they intended to starve me, but now they compel me to commit suicide by taking poison. "I do not fear death nt all, but how can 1 part from my children, who are so young 1 indeed, there should be no sympathy fur ane, but the mere thought of the destruction c•l my ideals, and of my young chil- dren, who will without doubt be compelled to live in the old way, stakes 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 mere liberal po- plulnr customs. :1 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 one, to which the horrors of the French Revolution would be a mere squib" ; but if turned into different channels, this spirit of self-sacrifice may, as it did in the case of Japan, bring about u quiek 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. +-- NO Fi•,.\R.

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 en Wednesday by two convicts at Edmonton Peni- tentiary. Tho men are Joint 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 men aro thought to be hiding in the bush, which lies several utiles north and east of the prison yards. The manner of their escape indicates the daring of the two nten, and the apparent carelessness of several guards who were stationed on sen- try duty on the fence and armed with Ross rifles and repeating re- volvers. Atkinson and Johnson were working on the excavation for the new 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 t:eat tered in various directions throughout the yard. Atkinson and Johnson, how- ever, were alone wheeling clay front 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 -clay 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 be 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. + UNITED STATES MARK 1•:TS.
