We traveled to tbe nearest point, the
old    pioneer    town    of    St.    George.
through  aliout  one   huudicd   aud   teu
miles   ot   dreary   waste,   with   water- I holes not less thau  tweuty-live  miles ! apart.   At St. tieorge we made a halt, j but  could  get  no  horses;   so  wc  fol¬ lowed   the   Virgin   Uiver   to   IlioviUe, where there was a feny. i     Here we expected to get n boat that , would carry us down tbe Colorado lo the   Needles,   on   the   border   belweeu .\rizonn   nnd   California,     where    we knew we could get horses with wblch to come back for our cncliVd tliiuKs - a Journey of abuut four hundred miles. .\t  llloville we found  no boat, and no- oue who could build oue.    So my I fnther proposed the makluj; of a raft. I We crossed to an island uear by, felled aeveral  trees,  cut  them   Into  tweuty- foot pieces twelve luches tbieii, criss¬ crossed   tbe   timbers   lu   true   lumber man's   fashion,   fastening   them   with wooden pegs, and soon had a complete raft,  with n rude  bo.\  aiuldsliips   for our baggage.
Karly the next morning we started, on a good curreut lately luereased by heavy rains, nud entered the great Colorado canon an hour later. What a sight It was! I had never bciu iu even n tiny gurgo befoie, except nt Watkln's Cleu, in New York State: and now I was suddenly passLig be¬ tween perpendicular walla of solid rock never less and ofteu much mure than one thousaud feci high nnd per¬ fect kaleidoscopes of changing color. [ As Major Powell had desrcuded a bad part of (he river only the year lie- lore that time, my father supposed our stout raft would carry up safely; liut Wc soon fouud that the wild water required all bauds to work. There was scarcely a mile without ia|iii!s. If we could have turned back after the first flfteen miles, we should have dune so; but now there was noiliiiig to do except sweep and swirl on to the end. The water often washed over US to our arm pits, nnd ofteu we had to work desperately to "fend off" from the cliffs at sudden turns and twists.
-\t nlghl We were fortunate enuiii-'li to flud 11 bacUwater where we cuuM tie Ull. Having set wutdies of Iwo hours each to see that the ropes did uot cliafe throU3:li. we rested, and le- fuincil our Journey ou the folluwiug morning. About leu o'clock lu the foreiinou wc turued a corner suddenly, nml saw a dhiiled nay iu front if us. one current tiiniiuK slightly west, the other slightly cast. I'lleriy pow¬ erless to guide tile raft, we were car¬ ried furiously towani the entrance of the wesierly water.
There the surge seemed lo go frnui under us, :iiid ilieii w,- hung for n few- Iiiunienis. duing unr best to push out of danger that w,- .-onlii uiiw clearly see. Some rucks Were so near ns un our up-stream side iliat Ike Tli.-.nip- son seized a lariat, imauiiig lo .iiiiii|i to thi'iu and hold the raft ftuiii falling inlo tlie west wnlei: but jii?i tli»ii the surge came uii ngniu iiinl tlir.Ji; us Iulo the great eddy that we so feared.
It did uot seeui a terrible tilace nt nil when flrst we were fairly in It. fur the raft was then lyiug uu a sniooih |ioul It was a puol in a blind gorge— a gui-ge which liad no uiiculug except will re Wc hnd  ctiler. d.
Save at tliat plnc-c, the eddy was surruunded by cliffs fully twu tluiU sand feot high. The hole ur L-iiif tictwcen thciii was aliuut sixty yards wide and perhajis three buuilred yards long. An opening of some Uiirty yards' wide connected the ikmiI with the river, which mny be said to have spilled Its greater surges Int.j tbe high-wollfd  basin.
One of these surges, which seemed lo result fioiu the i-aplil rising uf the water, had drlvm us in Th. river Was as if choked fur a few- inouieiils about once every file luinutcs; tluu a surge whelmed into the pnol. While We were now looking ttruui;d us. study¬ ing the cliffs and Wuuder ng how we •tiuld ever get out, Ue puiiited to au liicouiiug   nave
II ran at us with a orestless front nbuut two feet high, hurried our raft around the basin, .iashe.l it agansi tbe cliff at the iuw.r end. aud tiua lucid it back luwaril ihe lUirancc. as If to give us to tile main stream again. But at the rriiical im nii ut the foiie uf the wal.r died awny; -iud we floui e«l as nt first .u a  wav, less jmu!
"We're caught in an eddy. " said Ike "aud we'll have fume lough work to get oui. I ni thinking But gat out we must, aud s.kiu. tuu. or we il be dashed lo p,.ce8 against tli. se rucks. Wait until the Uvxt rusb comes, then !>'- n-ady wiih yuur Jules. Whet she aliugs ua back mar tbe opening, pole for  all  you're   wurtb  '
We were ull ready for the next aurge. and did not allow- it to dash the raft ag.iinsi thr cliff again, a! thongb the fendiug off wat no easy ^fgi. until the stream itself puiied u> away aud ru>li>^l us ouce more to ward tbe .>|)«n;ng Iherw we polid and tagged aud untd all our streugih alio
rent, but nil In vnln, for once again the surging overflow lifted us and hur¬ ried ua toward tbe cliff.
Six tlmea did we undergo Ihis experi¬ ence before we gnve np hope of es¬ caping In tbe attempted manner. Then, weak, worn and dispirited, we sat down and let the water do as It would, except that we thrust out our pule nnd held the raft from dashing up against the cliff.
We were not only In n tray), but In one which seeiued likely to hold our lioues. The river was at Its height aud would soon fall rapidly. We could see thai the pool wns separated from the main strenni by n bar of rocks, which were then mostly sub- merged, but would be out ot water after A fall of three or fuur feet. If we should fall to get out nt bigh water, we could not get the raft out at low water.
We might nt low water knock It to pieces, carry the pieces Into the malu stream, und theu rebuild the raft, but that we had neither tools nor provl¬ slous enough tu make such rebuilding practicable. As to going on witbout the raft, that was impossible. We could not walk up perpendicular cliffs or dowu n furious river witbout one Inch of beach.
Ike Thompson lay down, closed his eyes, and seemingly gave up for a time, leaving us to fend off from the rocks as best we might. At thia we got vexed, nud by way uf rousing Ike We let the raft crash bard agaiust the cliffs. As thia did nut stir bim, wc all gnve up. too, and lay down.
Then Ike bestirred himself. He look two lariats aud twisted them together. At oue end he made a running uoose, nud fastened the free end to tbe sec¬ ond cro.sspleee ot tbe raft. Then he made auotber similnr rawhide cable, fastened it to the third crossplece, aud colled the slack with tbe loop ou top. Ike then remarked, lu n rousing voice, "Boys, there's Just oue chance to save our bides. I'm goiug tu try it. You've gut to look sharp aud help for all you're worth. Now when the raft get up youder to uear the rocks at the opening, I'm goiug to Jump for them."
"You can't reach tneni." said my father.
"1 can try. Just ns well drown try¬ ing as drown when this raft gets biokeu Ul), or starve when our cbouec ot gettiug clear Is goue. Alfy," this to nie. "you stand bytbnt aecond rojic, and when I call for It heave It right into my arms. No slip, mlud; you've gut lo heave It true. There'll be ouly one chauce at this game, and It's gooiJ- liy old Ike Thompson If you don't throw that Inrlat strnlglit. The rest of you wall; you'll see yourselves what you've got to du."
When the next back wash swung us toward the opening, aud while we hung, for a moment, before the sub¬ sidence, Ike ran the length of the raft, jumped as far ns be could, fell In the water, and swam nnd clambered to a lock. Iu au Instant he had thrown the loop ot tbe rawhide cable round the polut, and then the surge came lu. It rolled half-way up ou Ike's body; it came nt us and lifted up two feet; then the double lariat began sluglnij like the string ot some gigautic violin. Just when the rawhide seemed uuable to bear more straiu the pressure mod crated, the water under us calmed, the crest of the wave was runuiug townrd the cliff, nud in half n uionieut We were lu slack water,
Then Ike yelled, "Uraw In slack! Lively! Alfy, heave me that second rope!"
As I gathered it up and looked to¬ ward the brave fellow-, my head swam Willi the fear to uilss hlui. Tlien hi? ruugh. kiud voice came cheerily. "Vuu'll heave It straight, young-un. Thai's why I left it to you!"
(Jut I flung It. Straight nnd true II dioii|ied Inlo his extended hnud. Ht sprnng from rock to rock until he was on one ti^'enty teet uenrer the main stream. There he took another hitch nnd ngain shouted, "Haul in slack!'
Hut there was no need to do so. The ii|ii'oniing, outgoing surge had nirendy lieeuu tu push us. It thrust us to- wiinl the inaln strenm so suddenly that we had to cut the Inmost cable tu keci> the outward course. It pushed us BO quickly thnt wc strained on the second cable by which  Ike stood.
.\t any iustnut we iniglit be flung back into the I'ool. If au lugolng surge should caiih us. nil our gain would be lost; and slill Ike was out ot Juni|iliig dislauce. It wo cut Ihc second cable, be must be left alone uu the rocks, while we should ruu swiftly away down the gurge.
But the dileiuua  existed  fur an  in
slant   uuly.     Then   Ike   sulved   It   by
lUtting  the raw  hide  witb  the  knife
lliat he wore at his w-alst.    He had cul
I ns loose, and stood alone on the rocks
wholly   without  nny  means of escape
I that  We could Imagine.
I     In two seconds the raft was out In
Ihe main stream, nnd past the opening
of the Eddy of Death.
We stared around ut Ike. The In goiug wave had partly submerged thr rock oil which he stood. He waved bitf hand toward us, and theu seemed to scrutiulze the water nenr lilm. Five seconds the wave had passed into Ille I'ool: but now we were tar from Ike. wliu had delivered us. We stared at I Ulll other In utler horror. It v\-as iui liosslblc for us to help him In any way.
But Tke had n way of helping him self. The instant the wave passed iuto the eddy, he threw himself Into the tireat (^anou of the (.;olorado, and swam  for the raft.
It was cjuecr that we had not thought nf this obvious means of esca[ie. Tht torrent  was  so deep  tiial   he  was  ir no danger of being  broken  up unlesi- he   shuuld   be   dashed   against     suuii cliff nt a sharp turn of the canon: but ! there w-as a lung straight reach aheai ! of him. and to lie brief, he (aught nt I wiihin   ten   minutes   and   was   drawr j safi'Iy alioard.

WOMEN BANK TELLERS
COOD RECORD THEY HAVE MADE IN A CHICAGO BANK.
By No Msans nn Kspcrinirnt — Miss neiilali r««r Hns Held Hrr Position ns Faying Trilcr Kor a Yrsr - Draws 9nnie Pny ns n Man.
The Chicago Hecord-Hcrald says: All the tellers, bookkeepers, stenogra¬ phers and clerks of a bip Chicago sav¬ ings bank are girls. The Uoyal Trust Compauy Bank has twelve youug women In resiiouslble positions, and its savings department ia luauned -or rather "womaned"—eutirely by llic fait sex. It Is prubably unkiu > lu thai re¬ spect among the banks of the world.
In ench of the four "cages" fer re¬ ceiving tellers is nn attractive young womnn handling the cash ot the de¬ positors 9^ the savings department. .\ fifth girl Is mnnnger of the exiensive advertising system ot the bauk. Three others preside over the books with their Interminable columns of figures. The clearing hou.se w-ork, which de¬ mands grent exactness, has uu terrors for the girl In charge ot It. The New York letter is written by another youug womau, nnd the two stenog- rniihers have proved their w-orth where meu have failed.
The employment of these Chicago girls lu such unusual capacities Is neither a measure ot ccouumy nor the wbini of soiue sentimental bank ofli cial. They are pnid the same salaries as would be given men. nnd they bave earned their positions on merit. They arc us prompt, quick aud nccurnte ns men. to which Is ndded a daintiness nnd nu nnilnblllty tbnt Is peculiarly grnteful tu the tliousnnds of women nnd children who have business rela¬ tions with  the savings department.
Nnr Is this plau ot ruuuiug n bauk Willi girls an experiment. The ofliclals of the bank arc astonished Unit It should hnve aroused so much Interest on the part of Ihe public, for It be¬ came a matter of course to tliein long ago. The newspapers have Just made the discovery, but the pioneer in the movement. Miss Heulali I'age, entered the bank nbout two years ago and bas been n teller for nearly a year. Others came In the regular development ot the business. The simple explanntiuu Is thnt these (?liicago girls, without losing nny of the sweetness ut their sex and without becoming a bit tuan- nlsli, have shown an esjieeial fitness for the work that hns won the admira¬ tion uf the bank ofliclals.
The roster of these feiulnine bankers would read something like this: Pay lilg teller. Miss Beulah Page; receiving tellers. Miss Bertha ,1. Clnrk. .Miss K. i:tbel Knox aud .Miss Mniule Wise; bookkeepers. Miss Mabel Swing nnd .Miss Kllu O'Brien; asslslant bookkce|i- er. Miss Catharine .Macartney; clerk lu i-liarge of clearing house. Miss M:;:;,: Nil.-i.ii; ::dvertls!us luauager. Miss B. Marie Wcidlnger; wilier of the New York letter. .Miss .Mabel A. llooley; sleuographeis, Mrs. K. Grace Terry and Miss Viva J. Cone.
This Innovation in bnuk work Is due to I'resident James 1!. Wilbur nud Cashier Edwin F. Mack, but tbey in¬ sist It came about quite naturally and wiihuut   nny   preconcerted   plan.
"The attention iitlracled by the newspapers to our youug ladies sur¬ iirlscd us," siilil Cashier Mack, smil¬ ingly, lu nn Interesting chat on his novel force of nsslstanls,"for we long ngo beenme so nccustumed to our chnrmlng stnff that there is uo feeling ot strnngeuess about girl tellers where une ordinarily expects to find men. The feminine organization has devel¬ oped gradually, and has proved nniu cully sntisfnctovy. Our innova uou lealiy be^tau \vitb the eiuployiuent uf Miss Page. She aiipllcd to President Wilbur fur n position and bruught a letter of iiitroiluctiou Ilini liiglil" praised her nhiilly as a bookkeeper. .\t that time the savings aud coiuiuer- [ clal deparimeuts wei-e operated to¬ gether. We haiipi'iieil to have n plnce open, and .Mr. W ilbiir decided to give the young lady a Irial as a bookkeep¬ er.
"She waa so quiet, uent, conscien¬ tious nud accurate that she w-oii the respect and good will of the bunk of¬ ficials from the start, and wheu au¬ utber bookkei'iier was needed we con¬ cluded to try another youug wumuu. .Nut lung afterward we neeilcd some one to look after uur advertising.

-Vlbany. N. Y.-Holnnd B. Mollneux. since February Hi. lOoil, under sen¬ tence of denth for ibe killing of Mrs Kate J. Adams, will have a new trlnl. The Court of Appeals has handed duwn a decision reversing the Judg ment ot the lower court. .\11 the Jus tlces who heard the argument on ap¬ peal agree on the finding, which Is bosed ou the admission ot evidence regarding Henry C. Barnet. although the Court is uot a unit as to how much ot this evidence wns Incompe¬ tent.
The Court also refers to the rule re garding the admission of expert testi¬ mony on handwriting, nnd the pre¬ vniling opinion holds thnt none of the "Barnet" letters should have been used. Justices Parker, Halght nnd Cray are those who concur in the re suit, but dissent as to some ot tbe points decided.
The prevailing oiiiulon is written by Justice Werner, ot Rochester, bis principal ground for reversal being that the low-er court erred In admit ting evidence na to another alleged crime, the death uf Bnru^t, nnd thus merged two Issues. Justices Bartlett. Vann and O'Brien concuri-ed In the prevailing o|iluloii, aud for the ex¬ punging of the Barnet tesliniouy. Justices Parker. Haight nnd Crnydld not believe that the Barnet evidence should be kept entirely out of Ihe case.
The Court gave out a condensed stateiuent of the reasons fur granting the new trlnl.    They say:
"Kvery meinlier ot Ihe Court of .^ji peals agrees for the reversal of the judgment of conviction of .Mnlineux uu the grouml that the trial court erred In receiving in evidence the declarations of Bnrnei made to Drs. Phillips and Douglass, that he hnd received Kutuow powders Ihrough the mall.
".\11 agree that since the ainetid- meni ot Sectiou '2 ot Cha|iter :!ii of the laws of ISSO by Chapter r,7,r> of the laws of LSKK, genuine writings may be received in evidenC' aa stand¬ ards of comparison with a disputed writing, although such wriling may noi lie the Issue on trial, bul simply a fnct relevant and tnnterlal lo that Issue. That the genuineness ot such writings must be eslablislied to the satisfaction of the Court by common law evidence, and when tliai is done hiilidwrlliug experls may comiiare the disinited w-rltiugs wilh the genu¬ ine wrlllngs aud give their o|iluUiii thereon, but they cannot select and establish thestandardsof eoiniiarlson, and then compare them wllh Ihe dis¬ puted wrlllngs.
"All writings jiroved to the siitisl'ac tlon ot the ('ourt by a preponderance of evidence In civil cases, nud beyond a reasonable donbl lu eriuilual cases.
