A WOMAN'S PLUCK. THE WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS SUCCESS- FULLY BRAVED IN A BARREL. Hazlett Make the Peril. Trip at Niagara Falls—Brodie, Donovan and all Other Falls Heroes Outdone by a Buffalo Beauty. Miss Allen and ous Burraro, Nov. 20.—The town of Niagara Falls has had its full share of sensations dur- ing the past few months, but, perhaps, the one that caused the most excitement of them all took place yesterday. When Graham un- dertook the feat of navigating the whirlpool in his barrel people admired his pluck, and when Hazlett and Potts successfully braved the angry waves und in their novel craft journeyed down from the fails to Lewiston the expldit was looked upon as eclipsing Graham. Then Donovan made his jump from the bridge and in turn became the hero of the hour. A day or announced that go through the rapids was to be made by George Hazlett and that a young lady resident of this city was to share the trip, the majority of the people looked upon the announcement as a hoax. The young lady, who is well known in the Thir- teenth ward, has many friends, and as a con- sequence the trains from this city tothe Falls bore more than the usual nuraber of Sunday excursionists to that place ard much inter est was manifested. On the 9:30 train over the Central road Saturday night, among the passengers to the Falls were Miss Sadie Al len, the young lady who had made up her mind to make the dangerous attempt, and a party of personal friends. On arriving at the Falls the party ° proceeded to a hotel near the entrance to Prospect park which they made their headquarters. Miss Allen passed the evening very quietly in social conversa- tion and the society of her friends, and re tired to rest soon after midnight. She did not appear to be in the slighest degree ner- vous, and in this respect she had the advan. tage of the other ladies of her party, who could not disguise the fact that they feared the outcome of the undertaking. She slept well and arose in the morning as calm and confident as ever. The morning passed on and 1 p.m. arrived, bringing in due course the noon train from Buffalo, on board of which, among numerous citizens, was the United Press representative, who proceeded to the hotel and found the party getting ready for the start to theriver. During the previous day the barrel had been brought up from Chippewa and placed in the water at Maid of the Mist landing. All arrangements had been completed, and about 1:30 a start was made from the hotel. Un nearing the bank Miss Allen said, “I would rather die than back out now. I know I am running a great yisk, but if Idon’t come out all safe I shall have shown that I had the courage to go 1 with it.” All being ready, Mr. Scully and William Potts took a carriage and departed on the journey aloug the American side of the river to Lewiston, where the voyagers were to land, Miss Allen and George Hazlett, her fellow vovager, got into the barrel and at 2.50 the start was made, The barrel slowly drifted for the short distance intervening between the commencement of the rapids, and about one minute later the first wave caught the craft and then the battle between the wild rushing torrent and it began in earnest. The angry hurled the tiny when it was attempt to two ago, another waves tossed and direction Now sideways, now stern now almost on end, the craft and its dght dashed madly on, at times entirely submerged, then almost thrown the air. At whirlpool reached, and, close the Can adian te, after a lapse of four minutes, during which the conflicting eddies carried the barrel now in one direction, then in an opposite one, the craft shot out of the maelstrom and down the river towards Lewiston. After proceeding about 200 yards down the rapids a sudden eddy caught the barrel and flung it over near the Canadian shore, where the current struck it and car- ried it back again in the direction of the whicipool, only, however, to be again forced in the opposite direction by the volume of water rushing from the outlet of that won- der of nature. Forty-five minutes passed and the craft still slowly traveled up and down and round the confines of this minia- ture whirlpool, one moment almost approach. ing the ceuter of the rapids and the next neariy touching the shore. A rope was brought and thrown to Hazlett, who caught it, and the barrel was drawn to shore, where the occupants were assisted out of the barrel. They had been in the interior of the craft one hour and fifteen micutes. Mis Allen suffered an attack of vomiting, but soon re- covered, and the journey back along the mar. gin of the river to the elevator began. This was no easy task, but it was safely surmounted, and after being nearly pulled to pieces by her friends, who could not restrain their joy, Miss Allen was driven to her hotel at the falls When she had sufficiently recovered Miss Allen feebly whispered to her brother-in-law; “Well, Will, you see I went through game." “Yes, you did, my girl,” he responded, “but I guess you don’t care for any more of it, do you!” “No, indeed.” she replied. ‘Nothing wotld ever tempt me to go through again,” Then, turning to the correspondent, she continued: “I am all right, I guess, but my limbs and body feel terribly bruised and sore. I guess I can't go home, for I feel as if] couldn't stir. You see | was not used to the thing and in the terrible ordeal I Jost my grip on the handles and was thrown about considerably. I was, oh, so frightfully sick. When I came out of the barrel Idid not know where | was at all. When I was being taken up in the elevator I guess every mun kissed me a dozen times 1 never saw wuch a lot of crazy and silly fel. lows. Boveral gave me gold pioces, and this (holding out a nickel) was the smallest, but I value it as a token of good will just the same. Ishould never have made the trip if [ bad known it was such an awful place, but after I once sald 1 would go, why I would.” Hazlett was bruised considerably, but kept on his feet, trying to administer to the com. fort of the girl, She stayed last night with her people, but will go to Buffalo to-day if sbie foals able, It is an unheard of thing for any object to go through the whirlpool and short of the mouth of the river. At 'e t, howsver, several bodies have been ound, and it will now go down on the local charts as a place equal to the devil's hole.

Ie sprouted forth the other day in quite a hare angue of which this is a portion: “This apartment of the houschold will bo found an interesting locality by those young ladies of the present timo who are de- voting themselves to novelties. While it is true that the rolling pin, in red plush dis- guise, has ventured into the parlor, it does not signify that it is all there is of {nterest in the kitchen from which it came. There are several articles of usefulness in a well reg- ulated kitchen to which our young ladies should be introduced, before their ‘cards aro filed.’ A cotillon with a cooking range for a partner, a pan of biscuit and joint of beef in the set, would prove most enjoyable; a waltz around the floor with a mop handle, mop en train, would bring the roses to the choek : a schottische a la washboard de soap bubble party would be ‘awfully good; while a polka mazurka with vegetable dinner ac- companiment would place the laurel crown of usefulness firmly upon the brow of the wives of the generation just stepping across the threshold. An exploring expedition to search for the kitchen should be formed in each house about 6:50 a. m.” Now this is all very well for a man that likes that sort of thing, but in words like unto his own, “It won't wash.” It is not gal- lant, to say the least, and. worse than that, 10 is not honest.
