Thought to Be More Drastic Than That of the United States—Board of Trade to Enforce the Measure. Information has been received by the interstate commerce commission that on July 30 of the present year the Brit- ish act for the better prevention of ac- cidents on railways received the assent of the queen and became a law. The board of trade, one of the depart- ments of the general government, is in- vested with extensive power, and is charged with the carrying out of the provisions of the safety appliance law. More authority is given the board of trade in this respect than the United States statutes gives the interstate commerce commission, and in many re- spects the English law is considered much more drastic than ours. If, after a reasonable time, the rail- way companies of Great Britain fail to obviate the dangers by use of safety appliances the board will make rules requiring the use of plants or appli- ances as it may consider best calculated to reduce the danger to persons em- ployed, or the disuse of any plant or ' appliances shown to involve danger. Penalties are provided for noncompli- ance with any rules prescribed by the board. The ratio of lives lost to the number of men employed in coupling and uncoupling cars in England is not less than one to three hundred, This percentage, as is shown by the reports of-the interstate commerce commis- sion, is as great as existed in this coun- try in 1893, where at present the ratio has been reduced to one man killed out of 600 engaged in coupling and un- coupling cars. It is believed that the action of the United States government in the mat- ter of safety appliances has been large- ly instrumental in bringing about the enactment of the British law. A CURIOUS ORDER. Frendh Army Officer in Official State- ment Declares Suicide Is De- serticn and a Crime. A curious order of the day, has been issued by Col. Clamorgan, of the Sec- ond regiment of marines, says the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald. It runs as follows: “A soldier of the regiment commit-! ted suicide some ddys ago at Ker-| huon. A sergeant committed suicide’ this morning in barracks. “It is better that their names should not be mentioned. These two deaths are a source of profound regret, as would be the desertion or crime ox a comrade. “Suicide for a soldier is desertion: It is flight toward a country from: which nobody returns. “Suicide is a crigne. It is the aban- donment of one’s post and flight be-} fore the enemy. “For this reason it is a painful but a just custom that military honors are not rendered to a suicide. “A soldier who believes in God andj who loves his country would have no! temptation to commit suicide. Let us therefore be true believers and patri- ots in order that a noble hope may ain us during life, and that all of sons of France and soldiers first of all, may know how to keep our! blood for the defense of the father- land.” BRITISH BOOKKEEPING BAD. Some English Koads Found to Be Paying Dividends They Do Not Earn. English investors have such bad luck with American railways that they think a good while nowadays before making any purchase over sea. They have sold a very large part of their, American railway holdings for prices far below what they paid for them. They don't speak in the kindliest terms of the methods of finanoe followed by American boards of directors. These English investors who have been so badly bitten by their Ameri- can investments have pointed scorn- fully to the Yankee system of railway bookkeeping and contrasted it with the conservative, straightforward methods of English railway manage- ment, but a new light has been thrown on the English railway bookkeeping by some probing .of their half-yearly re- turns. The gist of the matteris the railways } stand no higher in England than in America. English railways are now paying dividends they don’t earn, while American railways are earning divi- denés they don’t pay. English direct- ors are drawing upon the future) while Americans are paying up for the past. All Languages Spoken, Visitors to the Paris exposition may have noticed over one of the restaurants the inscription: “Ici on parle toutes les langues.” Those who are familiar with the results obtained in French restaurants where “Anglais” is spoken will naturally be rather skeptical about this comprehensive claim to speak all the languages under the sun, says the London Chronicle. A visitor recently remarked to the manager: ‘You must have a great many interpreters here.” “Not one,” was the reply. ‘Who, then, speaks all the languages?” “The cus- tomers, monsieur.” Shocking. A man who will eat oysters and wear a straw hat at the same time has no right, says the Chicago Times-Herald, to expect to be honored by his chil- dren. Mushrooms in Austria.

Man and Wife Separated at Time of the Civil War—Both Since Married, After. 40 years’ sparation, during which each believed the other dead, W. W Howard, sexton of Oak Hill ceme- tery, Springfield, [1l., and his wife have again come together, although both have since been married. The woman's husband has died, but Howard married the sister of his wife, and she is living. The woman is Mrs. Jane Cooper, and she has for a long time resided at Le- roy, McLean county, Ill. The fact that both were living was discovered by Arno R. Nauman, of Leroy, who mar- tied the woman’s daughter. Wishing to know something of the early life of his mother-in-law, he began an investiga- ‘tion, which resulted in the discovery that Howard and Mrs. Cocper were both alive and living apart, although never legally separated. The seperation occurred when How- ard went to war. Report came that he ‘was killed. When he returned to Springfield his wife had left with James Cooper, and news came that she was drowned while crossing the Missis- sippi river. Howard then married a! sister of the wife mourned as dead, and by that union is now several times a grandfather. The young woman whom Nauman | married at Leroy is Howard’s daughter, : although Howard has never seen the girl, she having been born after he went to war, The meeting between Howard and Mrs. Cooper occurred when the lat- ter came to Springfield to visit her sis- | ter, who is now the second Mrs. How- ard. VACCINATION BY HYPNOTISM. Two Little Girls at Jersey City Sub-| jected to Treatment and They Feel No Pain, John M. Letschke, of 122 Danforth avenue, Jersey City, N. J., gave an ex- hibition of hypnotism in the office of ,the health board in Jersey City the | other day. Mr. Letschke brought | three children, Louisa, nine years old; | Pearl, eight years, and Howard, five years, to the office to be vaccinated. Mr. Letschke told an inspector that | he was @ graduate of a school of hyp- | notism, and would like to put his two j little girls under hypnotic infiuence before they were vaccinated, as a mat- ter of experiment. Dr. Robert Stew- art, who was to vaccinate the chil- dren, gave his consent. Two girls were then placed in high-backed chairs and were told to fix their eyes upon their | father. Mr. Letschke said to his chil- dren: | “Now, Iam going to put you tosleep. Whileyou are asleep some one will take hold of you. But don’t be afraid, you will not be hurt.” Then he began making passes befote the faces of the children, and ina short time both of them appeared to be asleep. Dr. Stewart scraped the arm of each child, but they did not ap- pear to be conscious of it. Mr. Let- schke then made a suggestion to the effect that when they awoke they would feel no pain. He then counted: “One, two, three,” and at the last word the little girls opened their eyes and looked smifingly around. ‘They said they felt no pain whatever. The Siberian Railway. The British commercial agent in Rus- sia, Mr. Cooke, has just issued a very optimistic report on the great trans- Siberian railway. Siberia, he points out, is no longer a mere Russian penal settlement, but a young country with a great future before it. The railway has already diffused hundreds of thou- sands of settlers over the vast domain and is opening gold deposits which it has not hitherto been possible to work at a profit. Siberia already ranks among the leading gold-producing countries and other important indus- tries are expected now to develop rap- idly. In many respects the history of | Siberia is curiausly like that of Aus-| tralia. } with the former customs. of the tribe, ANGRY SQUAW STOPS RITE. Repays a Family Slight by Refusing | to Sanction a Mar- riage. | A romantic story of an intended Osage wedding that did not take place | came from Pawhuska, the capital of | the Osage nation. The parties at in-! terest were Paul Eagle and Mary Strikeax. Paul’s former wife was an| older sister of Mary and, in accordance he was entitled to the younger giri| should he ever stand in need of a wife. The arrangement had been perfected, the family of the prospective groom) maGe ready a feast, to which all rela- tives of the bride elect were invited. They came, but among’them was the! wife of Saucy Calf, who steadfastly re- fused to partake of the feast. A single! objection puts a stop to the whole affair, so the match was declared off.} More than a year ago a match had| been arranged between some of Saucy | Calf’s relatives and the daughter of! James Big Heart. At the appointed} time some of the Red Eagle family objected to the proceedings. Now Mrs. | Saucy Calf objects to the marriage| of Paul and Mary. Paul has appealed| to Agent O. A. Mitscber to have her) sent away to school. It is now a race between Paul to have her sent away and her relatives,to have her married off to some other brave. BRIDE-TO-BE IS HEAVY. Indiana Man Will Wed Pauper Weighing 350 Pounds, Whom He Wishes to Exhibit. Miss Lucy Havens, an inmate of the county asylum at Laporte, Ind., owes her success.in winning a husband to her great weight. Miss Havens tips the seales at 350 pounds and is steadily growing heavier. Dr. O. J. Detter, of Union City, wishes to place her on ex: hibition as the heaviest woman in the state, if not in the world, and he has placed a proposition of marriage in the} hands of the county board. He offers ta execute a bond that the woman shal]! not again become a county charge. It is planned to have the marriage performed in the county house. Dr, Detter:and his prospective bride have never met. Has Been Tested. It is rumored that Germany, Russia and France have formed a coalition against Great Britain, but, says the Chi- eago Record, if the latter can whip the Boers it should have no trouble with a little combination like that, HOLLAND A GREAT CRAFT. further Test Proves Her to Be a Dan- gerous Enemy for a Man- of-War. After dark at Newport the other night the torpedo boats Morris and Rodgers and the submarine boat Hol- land were sent outside the break- water to make a test of the Holland’s usefulness. The boats were to make an attack and the tug Leyden was to pick them out with searchiights. The Leyden found the torpedo boats at will, but after the Holland had plunged under water she was not seen again until she was found at her dock. The Holland approacheu near enough to the Leyden to fire a torpedo and then went within a short distance of the cruiser New York without detec- tion. The big cruiser could easily have been sunk by a torpedo from the ‘Holland. The test proved the sub- marine boat to be the greatest thing in the American navy.. A “Spouted” Coffin.
