The Church of God, Saints of Christ,
which has an edifice on Barclay street,
Newark, holds as one of its tenets the
necessity of immersion. Yesterday
100 of the congregation, headed by
Elder Anderson, says the New York
Globe, journeyed over to Greenville
to witness the baptism of Mrs. Charles
Jackson of Boston, who had come on
from that city for the ceremony. The
saints choose Newark Bay as a suit-
able place.
On Saturday night the lifesavers
stationed there, who are all volunteers,
and the sons of rich families, held a
ball at the station. The dance went on
considerably after midnight, and when
the guests had gone the members con-
tinued enthusiastically to celebrate.
On their clouded vision the next
morning fell the sight of a body of
white robed persons singing hymns,
who were apparently about to enter
the water. Capt. Stephen Herig sum-
moned his crew to quarters.
"We must save them," he said.
"Certainly," responded the crew.
"Come nearer to the saving flood,"
sung the company, as Elder Anderson
and the novitiate walked Into the
water.
Every one knows that Newark bay
at this point is not more than five feet
deep anywhere, but the life savers,
anxious to do their whole duty, rush-
ed out of the station, plunged into the
water and drew the elder and woman
ashore.
Then they buckled life preservers
about their bodies. Elder Anderson
protested.
"It's our duty,' 'observed Capt. Herig,
solemnly. "Wo cannot permit you
to risk your lives here."
Tho rest of the company submitted
to having the cumbersome preservers
buckled about them and the elder and
the woman walked Into the cold
water.
This time, however, the elder be-
gan to float high, after having walked
a little way into the water. By great
exertion he managed to regain his
footing.
The woman had by this time floated
out beyond his reach and was drift-
ing rapidly out Into the bay.
The gallant life savers manned their
boats and went out after her, captur-
ing her by means of a boathook and
towing her back to the anxious elder.
When he tried to immerse her the
life preserver being about the center
of her body, ho had considerable diffi-
culty and the life savers rushed in and
hid their eyes. The eider was perspir-
ing in spite of the cold as he tried to
stop the rotary motion of the woman
from Boston. Finally he managed to
seize one of her feet.
The life savers again came to the
rescue with sympathetic words.
"Young man," said the elder severe-
ly, "your feet take hold upon death
and you are doomed."
Then he dragged the woman out
and the company cast off their pre-
servers and went away saying hard
things about the life savers.
"Well," said Johnny Gibson, regret-
fully, "our intentions were all right."
Caught Grizzly With Lariat
"In the winter of 1893," said Tim
Kinney, a ranchman of Rock Springs,
Wyoming, "the bears in Bitter Creek
were surely a nuisance to the stock-
men I lost so many calves that I got
fighting mad, and declared war on the
four-footed despoilers.
"One day my foreman and I wei-e
out rounding up a herd of beeves
when in a low, marshy spot we cams
across one of the biggest bears I ever
saw. Unluckily, we didn't have either
rifle or revolver, but as I looked at
the beast and thought of my de.'id
calves my dander got up, and it oc-
curred to me that we might throw our
lariats over him and hold him until
some way of executing the death pen-
alty could be found.
"We thought it was a picnic, and so
it was, as far as throwing a rope over
Mr. Bear was concerned. My man got
his rope over the enemy's neck and I
got '..im around one leg. It looked as
though we had him. Dismounting, I
made the end of my lariat fast to the
stur.ip of a tree, but the foreman
stayed on his pony. Grabbing^ huge
rock, I got quite close to the brute and
dealt him a terrible blow in the fore-
head. With a howl of rage he gave
a mighty lunge that broke the rope
from the tree and started after me.
"But for the tremendous efforts of
my companion, who still maintained
his hold, I would have been caught
and killed before I could have been
able to reach my pony. As it was, tho
shave was extremely close, and the
bear was right at my heels as I got
in the saddle. All this time the fore-
man was tugging and hauling man-
fully, and if he hadn't been both
strong and skilful I'd have never lived
to tell this yarn. In a few minutes I
managed to get another piece of rope,
and this time old Silver Top was un-
able to break his fastening. Both of
~us then assaulted him wl'Ji stones and
beat him into insensibility before ad-
ministering the coup de grace with a
hunting knife."—Washington Pos4.
The Psalm of Death
The poet lay on his sleepless bed, gray
were his locks, and sere;
"God' I.et me sing one song, ho saw,
"that the world shall pause to
The Futhe'r smiled on his wayward child,
"Thy prayer Is grunted thee.
In aoftcst breath to the angel of death,
"Give thou the song,' quoth he.
Then there rang aloud through the an-
guished air the cry of a breaking
The walTof a spirit's last despair, that
rent the echoes apart.
'Twas a song of agony, fierce and weird,
that ne'er found voice before,
And the worldling shuddered, the earth-
worn fojtred. as its tones w&xeu
more and more.
All that of woe. mankind may know, the
death knell of the soul,
Was wildly hulled at a startled world,
that shuddered from pole to pole.
Hungry and weary, and worn and old,
the poet swept his lyre,
With naught to battle the wintry cold
save the flame of the seraph flro.
It ceased at last, as the autumn blast
sinks when the sun hath set.
To the silent shore had the singer pas'd
o'er, but the song, it lingers yet!
'Tis heard o'er the mountain, 'tis heard
o'er tho sea, the chill wind wafts it
along,
Wherever our earth has misery, that
drear, dread death bom song!
—H. Tudor, In St. Louis GlobelJemocr«,t
Music and Blue Lights
Music boxes and blue light are two
of the latest things in the line of an-
esthetics. The music boxes do not re-
duce pain or render the patients in-
sensible, but, according to Prof. Red-
ard of Geneva, they do take away cer-
tain ill effects that often accompany
the use of anesthetics. It is a well-
known fact that external impressions
received during the period of somno-
lence have great bearing on the
dreams. From this Prof. Redard con-
ceived the Idea of utilizing music. It
was found that the music had a ten-
dency to take away the disagreeable
excitation previous to the use of the
chloroform or other anesthetic. The
awakening was also found to be fro#
from excitement. There was no nausea
and any other unpleasant effects were
either avoided or disappeared rapidly,
although in ordinary chloroform or
other operations the feeling of illness
often lasts a long time. According to
the Geneva scientist, the music need
not be really artistic. It should com-
mence at the beginning of the opera-
tion and be kept up until the moment
awakening.
Prof. Redard has been using blue
light as an anesthetic for three years.
Insensibility is produced merely by
the action of the blue light on the
nervous center of vision, reacting on
the other nervous centers. All the
experiments by the Geneva professor
go to show that blue has a decided
anesthetic action. A great number of
patients were made unconscious by
the use of it. Red, yellow and other
rays did not show any result, while
green and violet lights, being most
nearly related to blue light, were
found to be efficient also, though to a
smaller degree.
A Very simple apparatus is required
for this blue-light process, a sixteen
candle-power incandescent lamp, a
nickel-plated reflector and a blue veil
being sufficient. The lamp Is fitted
with a blue bulb and placed about six
inches from the eyes, this being the
point of the convergence of the light
rays, while the head of the patient,
as well as the bulb, is covered with
the veil. Two or three minutes' ac-
tion is sufficient to allow of the ex-
traction of a tooth without any pain.
