STEALING HEAVENS LIvERY.-The

BIrTERs, is everywhere driving pestif-
erous rum potions out of the market.

medicinal herbs on the continent of
America is accomplishing such cures of
diseases which affect the stomach, the
liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the
nervous system, that the grateful
masses have adopted it as their Stand.

have gone down before this pure vege-

A Buzz Saw Tragedy.

A most melancholy and distressing
accident occurred at the Washington
navy yard few days since. Mr.. Ed
ward p. Sipler, aged thirty-fve years,
and native of New Jersey, was stand
ing, about $50 o'clock, adjusting the
guides of the large circular saw OF
which he had charge. The saw was
running at the rate Of 800 revolutions
per minute, when he missed his strike,
and in an instant was carried into the
fatal grip of the deadly instrument.
Quick as a flash went the top of his
head, next his right arm, then his left,
the poor fellows entire body being hor-
ribly mangled and cut in many pieces,
rs if by razor. Death was, tortun-
ately, instantaneous, and as soon as the
machinery could be stopped the Ne
mains were gathered together. He was
a stout, hearty man, married, with three
children. The event has cast gloom
over the entire neighborhood.

Gen. Sherman's Religion.

Last winter, when Gen. Sherman made
his famous speech, regretting that they
never had dancing at his house, and
said he liked to see the young people
scooting around" he told me that
after his death there need be no dispute
about his religious faith, for it could be
given in few words. Said he: 81
believe that if people only act half as
well as they know how, God will for
give the balance" Gen. Sherman has
another short creed. He says this is
not q bad world unless we choose to
make it so. If we are kind to others
in return, we will be kindly dealt with.

THE Republic, a Washington maya
zine, presents some rather startling sta
tistics concerning the different wars in
which the United States has been en-
gagged. In the war of the Revolution
Q775 to 1888 27S, 021 soldiers were en-
gag ID: in the war of 1912 to 1915, 527,
654 in the Mexican war, 1920 max,
ing total of S7S, 935-while in the war
OF 1860 no less than 1857, 1913 were en-
gagged. During the rebellion 279,6S9
officers and men were killed or wounded,
while 6,740 were missing in action.
Since the commencement of the war the
government has paid, up to June, 1874
in pensions, $25l, 100000.

The Public Worship Act,

After one of the most brilliant de-

years, the bill for the regulation of
public worship has passed, and will be-
come a law on the first day of next
year. The bill was introduced in the
House of Lords by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who supported it III pow
erful speech. Tho leading orators in
both houses participated in the discus
sion, and for several months it was the
ruling sensation in all parts of England.
In ali circles, among churchmen and
dissenters, at home and on the cars, at
the clubs and in business Offices, it ex-
cited eager interest, and was always
sure of attention. Church matters, es-
pecially such as pertain TO the Episco-
pal establishment, are now attracting
great interest in this country, and the
Public Worship act is so frequently
referred TO that it should be better I'M
derstool than it is by the general
reader.
The intention of the act is to suppress
ritualism in the established church. IL
provides readily accessible court for
the trial of offenses, and easy means
for bringing cases before the court.
The offenses under the law ere, in
general language u Any alteration

ments, or furniture of any church, with

Railway Mortality.

Railway servants lead a life full OF
risk. The numbers OF this class OF per-
sons wounded and killed each year ls
appaIling-so appalling that the rail-
way companies manifest the utmost
anxiety to keep the statistics bearing
ON the subject from the public. In
England the railway companies are re-
auired by statute to furnish annually n
return of the railway accidents attended
with loss of life or personal injury.
The companies, ii would seem from a
report sent to the London Times by
Mr.. M. Il. Bass, have made returns rs
required. but most inaccurate ones.
The companies are subjected to fine
for any error In their statistics, and so
numerous have these errors been that
the aggregate of fines has reached the
immense figure of $2,000,000. Thus
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company
reported that tbirty-nine of their ser
wants were killed and seventy-tlree in
iured in 1872. The fact is, that fifty
four were killed and l, 367 injured. Scat
least Mr.. Bass report says. On all the
railways in England there were returned
killed during the same year 632, and in
iured 1895. Mr.. Phillips, agent of
Mr.. Bass. argues that the number of
killed was l ,0S0, and of injured 27,340.
This last year the accidents on English
railways have been even more numer
GUS than in 1872. 1t is estimated that
during the last year 1900 railway SER
wants were killed on English railways,
and 81, 900 injured. The number of
injured, according to the returns. was
only III, an error of 1898 Eight
railway companies have made erroneous
returns last year. The number of killed
returned by the Lancashire and York
shire Railway Company, for instance, was
only thirty-nine. The real number it
seems was 1917. Some of these non
official statistics are only inferential.
There is, however, every reason to be-
lieve that they are much more reliable
than those furnished by the railway
companies themselves.
1t seems probable that legal proceed
ings against the defaulting companies
will be instituted by the British Board
of Trade. It is TO be hoped that, in the
interest of the security of life and limb,
such proceedings will be begun. The
prosecution of the companies which
have failed to send in accurate returns
of the number of their servants killed
and wounded will have tendency to
make them more respectful of human
life. Hence it's ACCESSIBILITY. Chicago
