Meuthen’s Decoration Lord Meuthen has had a German decoration longer than any of the oth- er British officers who are said to be returning their signia. through the medfum of the American ambassador in London. This was earned 36 years ago, when, as Colonel Meuthen, he was military attache to the Berlin em- Gassy, Walking one ev: ing throus » remote part of the Thiergarten, he saw a man fling himself into the riv- er, and immediately plunged after him. Vhen he succeeded in rescuing the v'!roWning man a number of persons had assembled; and finding that some of these were competent to render first aid, the colonel fled from congratula- ions. 'He was, however, recogmized and the feat was chronicled in the Berlin newspapers. At a court func- tion held shortly afterwards the old emperor congratulated Colonel Meth- ien on his gallant feat, and pinned the medal for life saving on his breast. ~—London Chronicle, MIAMI | PALM BEACH STEAMBRS “SAN JACINTO," “CONGEHO,” “COMAL" New service now in operation every Wednesdsy from New York via Key West & “Oversea™ Railway.
