The. average citinen rarely thinks
, ver'y ‘mu‘és about the life saving sta-
' tiotls‘of‘the‘ United States which fringe
the coasts of the oceans and lakes
sdound this great country and within
it, '
.ZOnce in'a while We pause and com-
‘ mind some special act of heroism of
; thelcrews‘an‘d then straightway for.
. got'the memin these lonely coast sta
, tldns until another set of heroism is
.psrformed. . .
Hardly anyone. ever realises that
thhy'are paying financial institutions
not. alone in the saving of money but
‘ Imam saving of human life.
' The following from the report of
Socratary Shaw‘of the Treasury De-
partment made public shows what the
gallant. life savers have done, during
thepast year:
l'I‘he Life-Saving Establishment at
the close of the fiscal year embraced
278 stations, distributed as follows: At-
lantic and Gulf coasts, 200: coasts of
the Great Lakes. 00: Falls of the Ohio
(Louisville, Ky), 1; Pacific coast, 17 '
(including a station at Nome. Alaska).
The number of documented vessels
sustaining disaster within the scope of
station operations during the year was
867. There were 4,099 persons on
board thesevessels. of whom 19 were
lost~ The value of property imperiled
is estimated at $14,736,350, via: Ves
sols. $10,187,546; cargoes, $4,548,805.
The estimated value of property saved
31l,972,280, and 'of property lost
, 704.070.’ The number of vessels to.
tally lost was 49.

and 810,970 lost.
There were succored at the station
811 persons_ 1,727 dsya‘ relief being
furnished.
The foregoing figures aggregate as
follows:

The station crews also rendered as-
sistance of more or less importance
to many vessels not included in the
preceding figures. the total 'number to
w ioh aid was extended being 81.215.
T o lives of till persons who had fallen
from docks, wharfs, etc. or who were
otherwise in dangerous situations not.
connected with vessels. were saved.
One hundred and seventy-four vessels
were warned of danger by the signals
of the psirolmcn and watchmen of the
‘ Service in time to avert dlncsstor.
These warnings were given at night in
10! instances. and in 13 cases during
the day in thick weather. Ninety-
you of these vessels were steamers.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-The know.
ledge that the War Department is wat.
citing with interest the experiments
being conducted in various parts of
the country in the direction of aerial
navigation has caused a number of in-
ventors to put forward the merits of
their respective machines in the hope
of securing government aid and ulti-
mately their adoption for "army pur~
poses in the event. of war. To all such
appeals the reply has been at when the
9 practicability of a machine has been
at least partially demonstrated, the
Board of Ordnnce and Fortifications
would consider the question of grant-
ing filnancisl aid and then only On con-
dition that the invention would be.
come available for goverment-nse. So
for the department. has not been con-
vinced of the utility of any of the mar
chines brought to its attention.

anthems, but he also urged them to ,
learn to sing‘with equal heartiness our
aim national hymns. They were not'
to forget the traditions of their own‘
native coimtry. but they are to remem-
ber that they are here. that they ex.
post to stay herepthsir duty is here.
their opportunity labors. While ages
Mine Hungary the same would not be
.‘true here. The Hungarians can be
Americanized.
uDr. Nectar-land called attention to
the foot that the progress of Hungary
had been hindered by factions and race
rivalry. He urged his hearers not to
let petty and miserable rivalries enter
into their efforts. We are here to
gether, he said. to help make this an.
tion a. better nation and to make this
city a good city. Following this he
gave a good deal of practical advice
with regard to obtaining the best fruits
of our American opportunity.
Judge Light, continuing the theme of,
good citizenship, said that this coun-'
try is made up of emigrants principally.
from the countries of Europe. and that:
seventy-one per cent. of the people inl
the great cities are either foreign born,
or the children of parents of foreign
birth. The strength of this country
consists in the fact that the best blood
of all nations flows in our veins. 1
Judge Light then told the anecdote
of ihe Irishman, who said that every
man should love his native land wheth~
or he was born there or not. This.
elicited much laughter from his and-
ience, after which he assured them
that whether they were born here or
not. they could love America and be.
come good citizens. . He said further
that it, was interesting to note how
speedily American ideas are imbibed
by foreigners, which shows that Am-
erican liberty is contagious.
The speaker then alluded to the fact.
that. the residents of the East Side in
New York, comprising Russians, Poles.
Jews and. other nationalities. insist on-
belng called American, and object be‘
ing called by the names of the coun-
tries from which they came. “Doubt-
less your yourselves prefer to be call-i
ed Americans," said the speaker who
continued by asking them to remember
that good citizenship consists in being
good men and good women and ex.
pressing this fact in the home and in
public service. Everyone who be
comes an American citizen assumes a
responsibility and tacitly agrees to do
what he can for the benefit of every
other citizen and making the govern-
ment. the best possible.
He. quoted the statement made years
ago by Louis Kossntb in this country
that if the Ship of State should ever
founder It would be due to our devo
tion to our separate and individual in-
terests in sacrificing the interests of
the government to private citizens.
Judge Light in speaking of the char-
acteristics of different nationaltles
said that Ms: O'Neil who had lectured
several times around the world, said
in his lecture on women that some of
the most beautiful and attractive worn
on in the world he found in Hungary.
Doubtless had he lectured on men he
might have said as much for the men.
There is plenty of room in this coun-
try for the best emigrants from all
countries and the total population of
the country today could be placed in
the state of Texas and not be as
crowded as they are in some of the
nations of Europe.
When the resources of this country
are completely deifélopod it could feed
1,000,000.000 people and to show the
business of this country today the fact
was cited that the railroads carry more
freight each year than the railroads of
all the world besides, He compliment-
ed the Hungarians on their thrift and
that so many of them own their own
homes. The owners of the country
are much more apt to lake greater in-
terest in the government and institu-
tions than those who have only a tran-
sient. interest.
This was followed by a very inter-
esting speech by M. Hershing, deliver-
ed in the Hungarian language. which
provoked grout applause from those
who heard him.
The closing remarks were by E, ii".
Elsinger. who spoke in Magyar and re-
ltcriiicd and enforced what the prov.
ions speakers had said.
The meeting. which was a thorough
iy inspiring one. closed with the slug
ing of America.

FASHIONS AND CULINARY.
WRINKLES.
A fluffy rosette of dotted mulino or
soft silk upon the satin evening slip-
pers is worn by those whose feet are
small and shapely enough to court. ob
servation. A tiny flat kid bow caught
by by a buckle nearly as large as the
bow itself is a favorite decoration for
leather pumps.
Two or three books and eyes upon
the standing collar of the up to date
sweater fasten it closely about the
throat for severe weather.
The vogue of the draped bodice is
on the increase. These new draped
bodices do not display a clumsy ar-
rangement of fullness. but rather a
skillful and "artistic draping of the
figure. which both hides angular lines
and suggests graceful ones.
It is a whimsical fad. that of decorat.
ing a simple velvet ribbon that holds
the fan. watch. engs ement tablet or
what not, with iewele slides of almost
priceless value, but. it is one that do
cidediy "goes" this season among the
ultra fashionables. ‘
Dainty fans with Dresden sheper-
des’ses. Watteau scenes, or conVention-
at designs in spangies, are exquisite
and make charming gifts. Others are
of Brussels lace with carved pearl
sticks or delicately tinted old ivory.
For the skating costume a short flur-
ing skirt of corduroy or cloth with the
short Jacket of the same or of fur is
both comfortable and modish.

t RULES REGARDING MARRIAGE.
Resolutions Agreed to by‘Stsmford
Ministers" Association.
The Stamford Ministers' Association
has formulated a. series of three reso
lutions as to uniform practice regard-
ing the marriage of strangers and di.
vorced persons. They are:
1. Not to marry parties both of
whom are strangers to us, unless pro-
perly introduced and identified.
2. Not to marry any persons whose
marriage we have reason to believe,
on inquiry. is forbidden by the laws of
the church in which both parties hold
membership.
3. Not to marry divorced persons,
except it be the innocent party in a
case where the divorce has been
granted for the cause of adultery.
While the first two resolutions have
been largely and generally signed by
the ciergymen. a strong following
have subscribed to all three.
