MOW COMES THE
RATIFICATION,
A Great Meeting in Met
ropolitan Temple
To-Night.
SUFFRAGISTS TO GATHER
Ciubs All Over the State
Will Celebrate Simul
taneously.
FINE PROGRAMME PREPARED
Many Prominent People Among the
Vice-presidents— The San Jose
Delegation.
Metropolitan Temple will be the scene
of great enthusiasm to-night at the ratifi
cation meeting of the suffrage plank.
There are enough sympathizers to fill the
buiiding many times over, but it is hoped
that non-sympathizers will also be pres
ent, and that their conversion will be
Bpeedy and sure.
All over the State the various suffrage
clubs will hold similar meetings. Ardent
speeches will be made by men and women
who believe in equal rights for both sexes,
and enthusiastic indorsement of the
6uffrage plank will be given. The amount
of yellow ribbon worn in California to
night will be unprecedented in the history
of the State. Yellow is the suffrage color,
and Miss Shaw and Miss Yates, who
arrived in this City yesterday from Hum
boldt County, report having left a long
track of yeliow behind them wherever
they lectured.
At Perndaie there was such enthusiasm
for suffrage, after hearing the ladies lec
ture, that the storekeepers draped their
houses with the suffrage color, though to
Bhow that they believed its principles to
be in keeping with true Americanism,
they also used the red, white and biue in
the decorations. All over Humboldt
County there was the same enthusiast,
and in* Eureka the only reason the town
did not go en masse to the suffrage meet
ings was that there was not a hall capable
of holding the entire community. As it
was, hundreds of people had to be turned
away.
Miss Shaw reports that she heard noth
ing but praise for The Call's stand on
the suffrage question. Everywhere people
read n with added interest on account of
iib championship of the woman's cause,
and she considers that this is one of the
most hopeful signs for suffragists at the
coming election.
To-night Miss Shaw will "ratify" with
even more than her wonted eloquence, for
the occasion is one tsat she considers a
red-letter day in her life. For the matter
of that all the suffragists look upon it in
the same litrtit and the amount of concen
trated enthusiasm ami eloquence which
will be vented at tbe same time both here
and In the tifty odd suffrage clubs through
out, the State will, it is expectad, be
enough to bring numbers of unbelievers
and scoffers into the suffrage fold.
A number of citizens of San Jose are
coming to the meeting in Metropolitan
Temt>le to-night. Among those from the
Garden City who will take a prominent
part in tlie proceedings as vice-presidents
are E. O. Smitli, H. V. Morehouse, F. L.
Foster. H. H. Maine, Mrs. Knox Good
rich.
The programme is now entirely ar
ranged. Charles M. Shortridge will repre
f-ent the Republican party, Hon. James
Maguire will speak for the Democrats who
)i?.ve leanings toward woman suffrage and
Thomas V. Cator will speak for the Popu
lis-:s. Five-minute speeches will be made
by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, Miss Mollie Con
ners, Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, Mrs.
Elizabeth U. Yates and Rev. Anna Shaw,
and Susan B. Anthony will preside.

The Parishioners of St. Patrick's
Have Their Annual
Outing.
A Day of Uninterrupted Pleasure Spent
Under the Schuetzen Park
Trees.
The annual reunion of the parishioners
of St. Patrick's Church was observed
"Wednesday by an excursion and picnic at
Schuetzen Park, near San Rafaei. These
reunions are held yearly by St. Patrick's
parish in aid of its schools, and they are
always well attended and successful in
every way. But Wednesday's gathering
was the largest ever held under the aus
pices of St. Patrick's, for fully 2000 per
sons boarded the morning boats. The
fare, 60 cents for adults and 25 cents round
trip for children, made the price of a
pleasant midweek outing within reach of
all.
The following were the different com
mittees, the members of which deserve
mention for the excellent manner in
which every detail of the affair was car
., ried oat :
A Committee of arrangements— T. L. Doran,
/ balrman ; James P. Gaffney, secretary; Frank
J. Sullivan. Joseph P. Hayes, J. F. O'Brien,
William T. Flynn, J.M. Kirby, John F. Two
mey, William A. Breslln, J. Loney, E. F. Lacy,
M. Boden, William A. Sullivan, G. J. Bough
erty, J. J. Donegan.
Reception committee— J. J. Donegan, chair
man; T. L. Doran, M, Boden, John Loney, J. P.
Gaffney.
Floor committee— E. F. Lacey, floor manager;
John F. Twomey, assistant; Joseph P.Hayes,
William A. Breslln, James F. O'Brien.
Games committee— William T. Fiynn, chair
man; Frank J. Sullivan, George Dougherty, J.
M. Kirby, William A. Suliivan, M. .Boden.
The whole was under the general super
vision of Father Brannan of St. Patrick's
parish.
For amusement, dancing commenced
irimediately upon the arrival of the trains,
and in the afternoon the athletic games
began. There were forty different con
tests on the programme, from a tug-of-war
to a race open to women over 200 pounds
in weight. There was a prize for every
contest donated by merchants of the City.
In the tug-of-war between the married
and single men the former won, being in
formed by their better-halves who were
present that they might expect domestic
trouble if they were defeated. Thiy en
couraged the benedicts and they pulled
the bachelors all over Marin County.
The race for 200-pound women wa? won
by a fleet-footed matron who had been
paced for a week by her daughter on a
bicycle. The fat men's race was won Dy
Thomas Doran, who got away in good
st3 r le, lead all the way around and came
under the wire In suburban time.
Thirty-eight gate prizes were given to
those whose tickets held lucky numbers.
At 6:30 o'clock in the evening the great
crowd boarded a special train and re
turned to the City, having spent a most
enjoyable day, with not an accident to
mar the pleasure of the outing.
AT THE RUINS.
Search for the Bodies in the Wrecked
House Will Begin This
Morning.
The work of removing the wreckage of
the Brighton House on Fifth street will be
begun this morning. All day yesterday
the workmen were bracing up the Lincoln
House adjoining and strengthening the
foundation of the east wall. It was ex
pected that the removal of the debris
would be commenced yesterday, but Dis
trict Engineer Shaushnessey decided that
he would not allow any risk to be taken,
so he had more timbers put under the
building.
The first portion to be cleared away will
be the corner and side where it is believed
there are the dead bodies of one or two
workmen who were caught in the crash.
None of the officials of the Fire Depart
ment believe that there are any bodies
under the ruins, but many of those who
were at work there just previous to the
crash are certain that one or two will be
found.
Coroner Hawkfns and Engineer Shaugh
nessey have been very busy gathering up
the evidence in the case, so that the blame
may be placed where it belongs. The
Coroner yesterday toDk W. Barnettand A.
C. Lutgens, architects, to the wreck, and
with Mr. Shaughnessey they went to
every part they could reach and carefully
examined the timbers, bracings, etc. These
gentlemen, witn several others in their
line who have gone over the premises,
will be called as witnesses at the inquest.
The inquest on the bodies of the four
victims of the wreck will begin to-morrow
morning at 9 o'clock. A large number of
witnesses have been summoned, and the
investigation is likely to consume consid
erable time.
The workmen employed in removing the
debris were kept busy all day yesterday
carting away brick, broken lumber and
dirt, and their operations were watched
by the usual large crowd. A large quan
tity of crockery and furniture was removed
from the restaurant, and strange to say
much was unbroken and in good con
dition.
FARMERS WILL REJOICE.
Now Harrowing and Rolling
May Be Accomplished With
Swift Ease.
An Ingenious Invention by Martin
Gottshall Which Fills a Long-
Felt Asricultural Want.
An Oakland citizen has solved the long
standing problem of how to seed, narrow
and roll ground simultaneously, with the
operator seated comfortably the while.
His machine is light and can be easily
drawn by two horses. Moreover, it will
be put on the market at a rate within the
reach of all.
The notable invention, which, by the
way, is called "The Farmer's Pride," con
sists essentially of a central bar or frame
having an attachment for the team at the
front end, a roller or rollers transversely
journaled at tne rear, and a pair of har
rows having their adjacent edues sus
pended from the intermediate portion of
the bar, with simple mechanism by which
the harrows may be raised or tilted or
dropped at will.
The ordinary seeder can be attached to
the fore part of the harrows, can be
omitted, tne harrows can be used without
the roller or the roller without the har
rows. In fact, the invention represents a
complete cultivating apparatus that will
undoubtedly prove popular.
The operation will be as follows: The
machine having reached the place where
it is to work the harrows are dropped, so
as to rest upon the eroond and the front
end of the machine is adjusted np or down
upon the vertical shaft of the castor wheel
(shown in the cut) to^ give the harrows
the proper angle of draft. When the har
rows are thus drawn over the ground they
will act in the usual manner to pulverize
and break up the soil and clods, and the
rollers following behind will crush any
large unbroken clods and will roll the sur
face down smoothly and even.
The inventor of this ingenious and use
ful combination, which has already been
tested and proved a success, i 9 Martin
Gottshall of Oakland, who, however, has
assigned two-thirds of it to Leopold Kiefer
and Andrew Kruechei of the same place.
George Meyers has the patent rights to
dispose of.
The full weight of the machine, with
operator on board, is barely 1100 pounds,
so that it can readily be drawn by two
horses.

REPRESENTATIVES
CONGRATULATED.
Sincere Thanks From the

ALL IS FOR CALIFORNIA
Work for the State in Congress
Approved at a Mass-
Meeting.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL. |
i
It Furnishes the Principal Topic of
Discourse— Other Important
Questions.
A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
by the Chamber of Commerce in honor of
the Senators and Representatives of Cali
i fornia who have accomplished much for
j the State with reierenco to the improve
! ment of rivers and harburs in the recent
session of Congress.
Hugh Craig presided over the meeting,
j He introduced to the members President
Sunodo of the Yokohama Specie Bank,
and this gentleman, with the Japanese
Consul, occupied the seats of honor, the
former on the right band and the latter on
the left of the chairman.
In presenting Mr. Sunodo Mr. Craig said
the bans he represented would receive
the entire indemnity which China would
j t ay to the empire of Japan in consequence
lof the recent war. A letter, as follows,
was read from Senator White, who was
unable to attend the meeting:
Los Angelks, June 23, 1896.
Captain W. L. Mirry, Secretary Chamber of
Covimerce: Dear Captain— Yours of the 2Otft
inst., informing me that there has been a
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce called
for 2 o'clock p. m., June 25, has just been- re
ceived. I would be delighted to be present,
but tbe circumstances are such that I cannot
be there. However, this condition of affairs is
rendered immaterial when you consider that
1 am as earnest an advocate of the Nicaragua
canal as any one in the chamber, and will do my
best to forward it and push it to an early com
pletion. Yours sincerely,
Stephkn M. Whits.
Congressman Barham was the first
speaker. He said: "I am pleased to meet j
you. and better pleased inasmuch as Sena- |
tor White seems to voice the sentiments I
that have called us together. The bill j
which provides for the construction of the |
Nicaragua canal will become a law before j
the next meeting of the Legislature. This
statement if made six months ago would
not have been so certain. At that time j
the precise location and many details of ■
the work were not known. After the re- i
survey of the Ludlow committee things !
are now practically clear.
"I understand from President Cleve
land," continued the speaker, "that he i 3 >
of tne opinion that all the people of the
United States favor this bill. He told me
! so with his own mouth. I havenoanxiety !
I whatever that he will veto it, and I know !
' that three-fourths, if not nine-tenths, of j
! the House are in favor of its passage, and
two-tnirds of the Senate.
"In my opinion, the construction of the |
canal will transplant the center of com
merce of the worid and San Francisco will
be in a short time the second 2^ew York."
Congressman Loud then took the lioor |
j and said : "I had not anticipated that this j
I meeting was for the purpose of talking
over the canal proposition. I supposed it
to be a glorification meeting of the alleged
services which we representatives have
done in the Legislature for Cali ornia. It
is not difficult to get a representation for
j this State of ours.
"We may boast of one thing, and not
| falsify, that we have by nature the be 5 t
harbor in the world. There is now very I
little wanted for our harbor. There are a I
few rocks that should be removed. Ido
j not think you can ever remove Mile Rock,
1 but that a beacon or a bell put upon it will
serve the best purpose.
"The Senators at Washington are will
ing to do anything in the world to benefit
our harbor. It is true we feared at one i
time that because Senator Perkins asked >
for so many things for our State we would !
kick the whole thing over and so procure I
nothing, but such was not the case.
"There is no question of such import
tan cc to the people of San Francisco as is
this proposition of the Nicaragua canal.
Every effort should be put forth to get the
next Congress to pass tiiis bill. The more
you urge the more liable you are to suc
ceed."
Congressman Hilborn said: "I do not
come here as a visitor, but as a" friend and
a brother. I have been a member of this
chamber for a long tinio and all my sym
pathy and all my love is centered here.
"My greatest pride is tiiat I was instru
mental in getting for this coast a naval re
serve. The fact of it is that the present I
depressed condition of the country has I
precluded any great improvement for any
State, but I can say that in this California j
has done even better than any of the rest.
An important thing for our State is the '
establishment of a naval training station !
for boys at Goat Island.
"In regard to the Nicaragua canal I
only wish I had the confidence of the
other gentlemen who have spoken regard
i ing the passage of this measure. You
j must remember it means the expenditure
lof millions and millions of dollars. It is
• a transportation proposition and it will
I perhaps come into conflict with certain
I interests."
Congressman Maguire said: "I consider
that the prevention of the passage of the
funding bill is the most important
measure to this State of the Fifty-fourth
Congress. I want to say that the Califor
nia delegation stood shoulder to shoulder
in the accomplishment of this. I, as a
Democrat, would have had a hard time in
j Congress standing alone had not the Re
publican Representatives exerted their
efforts to win over the Republican side.
"In regard to this measure I think Cali
fornia is safe so far as the Fifty-fourth
Congress is concerned, and the same senti*
ments that influenced the Fifty-fourth
Congress will more strongly influence the
Fifty-fifth Congress."
The speaker spoke of Loud as the Nestor
of the California delegation, and said that
the burden of getting improvements for
California had rested upon him. Speak
ing of the delay in the building of the
Postoffice for this City, he said that one
cause was undoubtedly the insufficiency
of the force in the supervising architect's
office at Washington.
"I think," said he, "that by the latter
part of this year the work will be begun
and speedily carried to completion."
Senator Perkins, who had been called
upon first to speak, but had excused
himself on the plea of not being a
stranger, but one of the home body, said :
"For more than twenty years I have
been a member of this Chamber of Com
merce." He spoke in complimentary
language regarding the distinguished
Japanese gentleman present, saying that
he had come on a mission which would
result in vast benefit to both the United
States and Japan.
"Senators or Representatives," said he,
"know no partisanship after they pass the
Sierra Nevada Mountains going eastward."
He enumerated the many things that had
been secured for California during the last
session of Congress, and paid a high
compliment to the Pacific builders of men
of-war, saying they ranked highest of any
in the country.
"There is no land on God' 3 footstool,"
concluded he, "that has the resources and
big-hearted men of California."
The following resolution was unani
mously passed:
Resolved, That the thanks of the Chamber of
Commerce of San Francisco are hereby respect
fully tendered to the honorable members of
tne California delegation for their successful
eflorta on behalf of the State of California dur
ing the lirst session of the Fifty-fourth Con
gress, and for their assurance of aid hereafter,
especially in the passage of the Nicaragua
canal bill.
Resolutions of thanks were also ten
dered Senator Morgan of Alabama in be
half of the people of the Pacific Coast for
the efforts he has made in their behalf.

FATHER CLARK'S LECTURE
Traces the Development of the
Arts and Sciences to the
Church.
Says It Is a Time When the Bulwarks
of the Church Need Much
Guarding.
OAKLAND, Cal., June 25.— Rev. Arthur
M. Clark, the Paulist father of San Fran
cisco, lectured before a large audience in
the Macdonough Theater this evening.
John P. Irish occupied the chair and in
troduced the lecturer. Several members
of the local priesthood were on the plat
form.
Father Clark took for his subject the
' claim that the world of to-day owes much
|to the Catholic church. He traced the
present high state of development of the
arts and sciences to the careful manner in
which they had been fostered and pro
tected by the Catholic church. Particular
I attention was given to the teachings of the
j church in regard to morality and to the
! preservation of the sanctity of the home.
"If the world had been left to the minis
! trations of the mother church," said the
I sneaker, "we should not have a country of
poor..ouses, lunatic asylums and prisons.
It is not our teaching that has produced
the fearful state of affairs that now con
i fronts us. In every age our doctrine has
: been the same and we have endeavored to
inculcate in the young mind those grand
principles that alone can carry the soul
through this world of temptations and
preserve it unsullied till it is awarded its
eternal prize.
"In every branch of art and science it is
■ the church that has developed it and the
names of the noblest men in the pages ol
history are those who have labored and
died within its pale. Surely no one will
say a disparaging word of the noble Sher
man because he was a Roman Catholic.
"Never was there a time when the bui
walks of the church need as much guard
ing as they do to-day; but we have noth
ing to fear. We have a plain duty to per
form in training the young mind, and so
long as we do this nothing will prevail
against us."
Mourned by His Comrades.
On Wednesday night James Walsh, one of
I the best firemen in the Fire Department, died
at his home nt 136 Eighth street. He was a
member of engine company 17, on Mint
avenue. Walsh had been confined to his home
for two months pnst In consequence of a
severe cold contracted from getting wet at a
fire on Eighth and Natoma streets two months
ago. The cold turned into a case of quick con
j sumption. The funeral will be held to-day
\ from St. Joseph's Church. Two men have
j been detailed from each fire company to at
| tend the funeral. The house of engine 17 has
been draped in mourning. Walsh was 32
years of age.
Abbott's Napoleon.
Rev. John S. C. Abbott's "Life of Na
poleon" is brought to the mind by the
death of his widow, a most estimable lady,
who was an essential aid to him in his
literary work. She is said to have trans
lated much from the French for him in
bil writings of Napoleon. A reliable anec
dote of Mr. Abbott is related as showing
the spirit in which he entered upon this
biography. While it was in the course of
publication in Harper's Magazine a mem
ber of the Harper firm was approached in
remonstrance against the favorable view
taken by Mr. Abbott of this man of blood.
Mr. Harper said he would see Mr. Abbott
upon the subject. He told his inquirer a
day or two later that he had done so and
that Mr. Abbott had assured him that
every morning when he entered his study
to engage in this work his first act was to
put up a prayer to God to be guided aright
in what he should send out to the world.
Mr. Harper had a firm belief that the
truth would be reached under these condi
tions.—Boston Herald.

NEXT TAX LEVY
STATE AND CITY,
Will Not Exceed $i 67
and It May Go
Lower.
THE CITY VALUATION.
An Increase of Twelve Millions
of Dollars or More
Assured.
FIGURES ON THE STATE ROLL
City Collections on Personal Property
Now Exceed a Half
Million.
i
Assessor Siebe is diligently at work on j
the assessment roll and will file it within I
the time prescribed by law.' He said yes
terday that he would not ask for an ex
tension.
The Assessor was not willing to make an
approximate estimate of the total valua
tion, but readily admitted that it would
be m excess of last year's valuations. It
is figured by men who claim to be familiar |
with values that the total amount will ap- j
proximate $340,000,000, or an increase of \
$12,000,000 over the last roil.
The collection of personal property taxes,
unsecured by real estate, is progressing in
I lively styie. The amount taken up to noon
j yesterday was $545,967 72, a sum $100,000
in excess of last year's collections. As no
tax-levy has been fixed for this year the
collection is made on last year's rate of
is 2 25. This accounts in a measure for the
j large increase. Ultimately the City must
j refund to the tax-payers the difference be- '
i tween $2 25 and the forthcoming rate. The
I law so provides. Thirty thousand tax
| payers will each be entitled to a rebate,
but in many instances the amount will be
so small that application may not be
made.
In making this readjustment a vast deal j
of work will be imposed upon the Super
visors, Auditor and Treasurer. Every ap
j plication must be made to the Board of
Supervisors, and when allowed the money
cannot be drawn from the treasury with- |
out an order from the Auditor.
No one can yet tell exactly what the I
next tax levy will be, because the valua- ;
tion of all taxable property is still an un- |
| known quantity, and the amounts to be !
| allowed by the Supervisors for the various j
; departments of the municipal goyern
j ment have not been determined.
Auditor Broderick made a calculation
| that the value of taxable property would !
!be $330,000,000. The estimate is "likely to
| be under the actual return, but the figures
may be changed before the Supervisors,
sitting as a Board of Equalization, get
through with the roll.
The Auditor did not allow many extras
on his estimates, but figured nearly every
thing down to a business basis. Still he
thinks the board should diminish rather
than increase his allowances. In taking j
I the total of his estimates and calculating
I that the assessment roll will reach $330,-
I 000,000, he figures that the local rate
should not exceed $1 17, and might go as
low as $1 07.
Governor Budd in a general way has
more than once indicated that the State
levy would not exceed 48 cents. Since he
made this calculation reports have
reached members of the State Board of
Equalization that there would be quite a
shrinkage in the valuation.
Allowing that the State rate will be 50
cents and tne local rate $1 17, the levy
would be $1 67, or 58 cents low- r than the ,
last levy. It is possible that the rate may
go as low as $160, in view of the increas
ing public sentiment toward retrench
ment in State and municipal affairs.
There should be in the State treasury a j
surplus of $1,000,000, because the Governor ;
insisted that the revenue bill passed by
j the Legislature should cover all the ap
| propriations made by the session. Many
jof the appropriations were unconstitu-
I tional and extravagant, and so they were
! vetoed. The result was the taking of
$1,000,000 more than was necessary out of
circulation and putting it in the State
treasury. The next Legislature is likely
to appropriate it with great gladness.
The next local levy will not embrace
anything for the new City Hall construc
tion, but a large sum must be raised for
election expenses, so one will about offset
the other.
THE BUILDING TRADES.
Rival Bricklayers' Unions Ask for Rec
ognition by the Council.
The Building Trades Council met last
evening at 1159 Mission street and the sec
retary was instructed to secure headquar
ters for the council in some other build
ing.
Representatives from the rival bricklay
ers' unions, the local and the international,
addressed the council upon the matter of
affiliating therewith. It was left to the
grievance committee to decide within
thirty days which of the two unions
should be recognized by the council.
Attention was callea to the fact that
next Thursday is the day set for the rule
to go into effect which prohibits all union
workmen from finishing work where union
men have been called out on account of
the presence of non-union men. In many
cases union men have been ordered out on
striKe because non-union men were em
ployed and when the latter finished their
work the union men were allowed to re
turn, but hereafter they are prohibited
from doing so.
On Tuesday night a union mas3- meeting
of all connected with the buildinp trades
will be held at 115 Turk street to elect two
new business agents. It was decided that
the grievance committee of the council
should be increased to six members, to be
selected monthly.
The boycott on the new California
League baseball grounds on Sixteenth
and Folsorn streets has been raised by the
council.
To Be Made a Family Hotel.
The trustees of the Mercantile Library Asso
ciation hare had under consideration for some
time the project of rearranging the upper two
floors of the library building and converting
them into a family "hotel. At the last mi rting
of the trustees this idea was favorably acted
upon. The architect of tbe association has
prepared plans and specifications which call
for sixty-six rooms, parlors, dining-room, etc.
The location of the building, on Van Ness and
Golden Gate avenues, is one of the most cheer
ful Rnd sunny in the City. The s.Z2 of the
building is 137:6x120, with v frontage on
three streets, nil paved with bituminous rock.
These features, together with a reasonable

HE SAVES HUMAN LIFE,
How to Restore Those Who Lose
Consciousness Through
Immersion.
Professor Kiliick Thinks That Every
Child Should be Taught to Swim
and to Help Others.
"Next to swimming, and it is my
strong opinion that every child should be
taught to swim," said Professor Frederick
H. Kiliick of the Sutro Baths yesterday,
"every child should be taught the princi
ples of life-saving, that is, the methods
necessary to restore to animation those
who have become insensible from immer
sion. It has been my privilege in the past
few years to lecture on this subject to
more than 25,000 school children in Canada
and in the United States. I have spent a
number of years in the study of the vari
ous methods used by men prominent in
Europe and the United States, those of Dr.
Sylvester, Dr. Hall and of Dr. Howard,
which is that most practiced in the United
States. I have taken the best points
from each and combined them with a view
of obtaining the very best results in a case
of emergency.
"How do I proceed in the case of an in
dividual who, to use a common expres
sion, goes beneath the surface for a third
time? 1 will tell you what Ido in case
such an emergency occurs at a point where
there are none of the appliances that are
in use in life resuscitation stations.
"Whoever brings the body from the j
water should before landine it allow it to
float face downward, lor a moment only.
The body of a person in tnat condition
should never be floated on the Back. Say,
for instance that such a body was brought !
from the waters on to the beach close by i
here, I should, as soon as possible wade '■
in, crouch under the approaching body j
and in raising form an arch of my back,
and in that way elevate the body out of
the water. I would then move quickly to
land. The knack in securing the body is
to have the lower limbs swing over the
left shoulder and drop forward and in that
way give me a sure hold on the individual,
then the individual's stomach rests on my
back at an angle of about forty degrees,
and while in that condition the
tfater which is in the lungs and
cavity of the chest escapes through
the mouth, every motion I make
causing a pressure against the cavity
which helps to force out any water that
may have been in it and which had not of
its own weight escaped. If there was a
house close uy I would carry the body
there and Keep every one away except two
persons who could assist. If not the body
should be laid on the sand and the mouth
and nostrils at once wiped free from a
mucus that is formed in every case.
Then the tongue should be secured by
either tying a rubber band around it, or if i
none is handy a piece of string will do. j
Then the tongue should be pulled forward I
and held so that it. cannot fall brick and I
close the windpipe, and while this is being |
done I would stand over the body, place
my hands under it on a line with tne
shoulders and having locked them would
rock the body deliberately from side to
side, one of the arms of the individual
being placed in such a position that the
head will roll on it and prevent it from
being chafed b}' the sand.
"Then the body should be rested on a
roll which can be made of a coat or any
thing that will make an elevation of four
inches. This should be placed a little be
low the shoulders, so that the chest will
form an arch. This having been done, and
mind you a!) this is done in c remarkablj
short space of time, I would commence
producing artificial respiration. This
is done first by placing the thumbsof each
I hand, end to end, over the breast bone and |
extending the lingers in such a way as to
cover as much as possible of the stomach,
then pressing down and raising the hands
without removing them from the body,
keeping up that motion. The arms should
by another person be taken at the elbows
and raised forward and lowered after the
fashion of a pump handle in a regular
manner and that kept up until there is a
sign of a return of natural breathing.
When that is noticed the patient shoald I
be chafed to assist the circulation of the
blood, which has become dormant but has
not lost its vitality, and after that grad
ual heat should be applied and rest en
couraged.
"In the rooms set apart in this place for
me I have all the appliances that are in
use in saving the life of those apparently
drownea, and I have some improvements
which my observation has proved to ms
are of material assistance in the worK.
One of these is a steam bed, on which the
patient is placed as soon as it is ascer
tained that natural respiration has been
set up. It is covered with several thick
nesses of blankets, and the moment the
patient is laid on it there is a blanket in a
roll at the foot of the bed which is used to
cover him. This is first folded in the cen
ter, then pleated and rolled, and when
pushed forward it unrolls like a thing of
life and falls over the patient and covers
him in the most perfect manner without
creating the cold that is produced by
throwing a blanket over the patient. As
the patient needs heat it is applied through
a steam pipe under the bed until full
sensibility is restored and the patient is
strong enough to be removed to another
room.
