Acts of heroism are performed
every day in all parts of the world
The majority of them pass unno
ticed. Only a few. are called to
public attention. One of themost
heroic deeds was performed by
Robert Pocklington, at Richmond
the other day. Seizin}; a box of
blasting dynamite he jumped in
to the river, saving scores of lives
and much valuable property. He
took his life into his own hands,
but he did the only thing that
could be done under the circum
stances.
Pocklington was at work with
a large number of men deepening
the channel near the old Domin
ion wharf at Richmond. Besides
the wharf lay a steamboat swarm
ins: with people. On the wharf
were hundreds more. On the
dredge were a score of working
men and in their midst was a box
of dynamite, containing enough of
the stuff to blow people, steamboat
wharfs and all into oblivion. Sud
denly the cry was raised: 'The
dynamite Hs 011 iira" Without
u moment's hesitation, Pockling
ton caught the dynamite in his
arms and jumped into tin4 water.
Such quick comprehension of the
situation, such immediate resolu
tion, such willingness to sacrifice
have few equals in the annals of
heroism.
The dispatches do not say as
to whether Pocklington lias been
rewarded or not, and perhaps In*
lias not. but if he has not, he ought
to be and amply, too: for it is due
to his bravery that hundreds still
live and much valuable property
Mas saved. s
The citizens of Parkersburg are
very desirous of government own
ership of the little Kanawha
river. It sems there are few peo
ple in our neighbor city down the
river, who have been throwing
-cold water on the proposed pro
ject The amount offered by the
Government for the property of
\ the Little Kanawha Navigation
Company would amount to but a
. drop in the bucket to the people
of Parkersburg as compared to
the benefits to be derived from
Government ownership of this
property. The public spTflted in
dividual, however, who puts li is ?
money into this enterprise, occu
pies a different position to that
?of the public at large, and the
?counties of Wood and Wirt have
in t Ivy ears past received large re
turns for their investment. The
Kanawha valley has been a feed
er for Parkersburg, made possible
through the efforts of the individ
uals that pushed this enterprise
to completion formally long years.
Because the cost of living in the
Vnited States has greatly increas
ed during years. Sir Henry Morti
mer Durand. the British ambassa
dor to this country, who will ar
rive here from England on Satur
day, has succeeded in having his
salary increased $4,000 per year.
During his recent visit to Eng
land. Sir Henry succeeded in coin
viucing the foreign office that his
salary of was inadequate
to properly maintain his Majesty's
representative in Washington,
where the simple life is preached
but not often practiced. The for
eign office made the raise and Sir
Henry departed from England last
Saturday in a very happy mood.
R#rlc1?na Philanthropy.
An Instance of what 1 should call
reckless philanthropy has come to my
notice. The story is told of a certain
old and very wealthy lady who has
never been known to give anything to
anybody, but who?e will mu*t enrich
many institutions? unless the estate is
swallowed up by the lawyers. After
spending half a lifetime selecting tirst
; one and then another charily for her
post mortem benevolence she recently
had qualms or cons -ience. She heard
mysterious voices say, "Feed my
lambs.*'
At first she took no notice. They be
[ came insistent. "At last," she says, de
; scribing the experience, "1 took the
money in my hau.l ?nd set o:it to give
a subscription to *s home. On the
way I had doubts. 'No.' I said, 'I h ul
better leave them a legacy.' l?ut again
I heard the voice. 'Food my lambs.'
Well, my dear, I trembled with agita
tion. I said. 'I will.' I felt I must do
it and 1 did. I rushed straight to the
office and I gave them 5 shillings."?
London Tatlor.
A Funny Blunder.
According to Law Notes, Sergeant
Callantine used to tell this story on
Lord Chief Justice rock burn of Eng
land: One night while Ballantine was
passing along Piccadilly he came
across a p diccinan who was arresting
a woman he claimed was drunk. He
stopped to expostulate and stated that
the woman serine 1 to be ill rather than
intoxicated. Just at this time Lord
Cockburn. who was then attorney gen
cral. came by on his way home from
the house of commons and joined in tlie
discussion. Immediately another of
ficer rushed up and. seizing Cockburn
by the collar, exclaimed, ''1 arrest yo:i
also." "Arrest me!" cried the astonish
ed attorney general. "What forV"
"Oh," replied his captor, "for many
things. You are well known to the po
lice."
A Wonderful Record.

years. His income tor many years \v:;

Electricity a* a Detective.
A medico legal expert was examining
the corpse of a man who had died in a
mysterious way. The examination was
somewhat ghastly. In it a huge, expen
sive looking electrical machine played
an Important part.
The expert when everything was in
readiness adjusted the machine, then
watched it closely. A certain needle
quivered? moved,
"Aha," said the man. "there Is a me
tallic poison present here. This poor
fellow died of some metallic poison."
Afterward he explained that it had
recently been found possible to deter
mine accurately the presence of metal
lie poisons with electricity. By fhe
electrical method the presence of so
small a quantity as the tenth of a mil
ligram of poison would Ih? revealed.
In the case, he said, of antimony poi
soning, lead poisoning, copper, mer
cury or cadmium poisoning the use of
electricity as a detective agent would
come In time to be considered invalua
ble aj?d indispensable. ? Philadelphia
