The Perfls of Railway Crossings.

The Saturday Review, commenting
on the railway statistics in the U. S.
census epOrt, says:
the number of killed and injured is
alarmingly largo. la the course of
the twelve m onths 2, SAL persons lost
their lives, 1914 were more or less in
jured on the railways of the United
States. The companies, indeed, affirm
that only 364 were killed and /, 438
injured through causes beyond their
control. A closer examination of the
figures shows that what are almost
exclusively known as railway acct
dents IN this country caused the small
est part of this terrible butchers
bin. The number of passengers
killed was 143, that of employees 923;
while /, AS Others" neither passen-
gers nor railway servants-were kill
ed on the lines. No one who has
travelled on american railroads will
be at a loss to understand the mean
ing of these figures. Collisions are
not more frequent than in this coun-
try; probably, on the whole, much
less so; while accidents through the
fall Of bridges, defective rails and en-
gines are of course more common,
Americans railways being much more
lightly constructed, and the trains
travelling, on an average, at perhaps
half the English rate. But lines run
ming without fence or protection, not
only through woods, prairies and
farms, but through the streets of vii
lagos and even Of cities, are a source
of peril to the community at large
such as in this crowded country could
not be tolerated for a moment. 1t is
a significant fact that, while the total
number of injured is more than double
the number of killed, while nearly
four passengers and employees are IN
iured for each one slain outright, the
number of 'others" killed and injur-
ed respectively is exactly equal. Nat
urally half, at least, of the men,
women, or children run over by a
train are mortaliy hurt.

Encounter with a Tiger.

An exciting incident is reported by
the Georgetown Royal Gazette British
Guinea. 1t appears that Messrs.
Greaves and Wookey, two overseers
of a plantation on the east coast, took
a trip into the interior with a black
man as their guide, a couple of dogs,
and being well armed with rifles, etc. :,
started out on the 10th of March.
They had capital sport for two days,
shooting birds of various sizes and a
deer, which they made many a good
meal from: At night they camped
out In hammocks slung to trees, with
a fire burning to keep away any in
sects from them with which tie inte-
rior abounds, and also in case of
emergencies. On the third night,
soon after turning into their ham
mocks, and doing off, they were star
tied by q fearful roar, and they imme
diately saw tiger ready to spring
Greaves. who was nearest, kept his
eye fixed on the brute, and crept out
of his hammock with his rifle and
knelt down. When the animal was
about TO spring, he fired. The rifle
cap snapped, and Ia an instant the
tiger had thrown Greaves fiat.
Wookey, VINO had in the meantime
crept out Of his hammock few yards
distant from Greaves. seeing the fear
full position his friend was placed in,
fired at the brute, and hit him just
behind the shoulder, shooting him
dead. What with excitement, smoke,
ETC., he did not know if he had shot
the tiger, but was much relieved in
seeing Greaves creep out, besmeared
with blood, and found that he was not
injured save few scratches and torn
clothes. The guide who had, for
some reason best known to himself,
gone a short distance away, was much
startled at finding his buckras in such
a trim, and when they had settled
themselves and got Greaves all
square, which he very soon was after
a schnappe, they examined their vic
tim, and found him to be a fine speci-
men. 1t is needless to say that Messrs
Greaves and Wookey cut short their
trip; and were thankful to reach home
safe and sound with their prize after
such narrow squeak.

No Cut In Wages.
Wall Street News.

The employees of a Michigan rail
ROAD had been trembling in their boots
over threate ned reduction of wages,
when an agent dispatched from head
quarters passed along the line and said
TO the various station officials:

Good. Ny salary is so small that
l could hardly stand reduction of
5per cent"
The road is not making any
money, but the president feels that

and there was little prospect that his
child would inherit the royal title
But the older brothers all died with
out heirs, and his child became Queen,
succeeding her uncle, William ~,
in 1887.
Queen Victoria's married life, last
ing from 1910 to 1861, was an idyl of
royal romance and content. Her huS-
band. Prince Albert, was loved by
her with the same ardor of affection
that is felt under humble roofs and by
homely hearths, where ambition and
dreams of greatness never disturb the
sweet current of domestic life. The
woman recognized him as the dear
and devoted husband, and to the
Queen he was, throughout his lofty
and blameless life, a guide, philoso-
pher and friend. His death, with

widowed Queen, and, during all the
long years which have since passed,
she has lived in the shadow of her
own unavaillng grief.
AS the Queen of England, Victoria,
has confined all the acts of her reign
within the strict and rather limited
line which the British constitution
draws around royal power. Though
IN form monarch, she is in fact but
little more than the regal figurehead
of very democratic sort of govern
ment. She is irresponsible herself,
on the principle that 1.-The king can

fairc Of hon croyvor,, want ~ +I,o ~; -

She has held herself aloof from the
wars Of factions, and has been i'm
partial between the high contending
forces represented by her ministry
and the majority of parliament on one
hand, and the party IN opposition on
the other. She has been a constitu-
tional queen in all respects, which
means a queen in name and IN dig
nifty only. She Yields far less power
than the president Of any republic in
the world.
AS a woman, Victoria's character is
no less admirable than her character
as Queen. She has adored and hal
lowed the name of motherhood, and
llSso COAhO ~ CIOWu uubO uGT.
Her children have been the objects of
her constant and anxious care. A
little too stately, possibly, to that filial
love which casteth out fear; little

ciplinarian, she has, Notwithstanding,
exhibited III her daily life a greater
number of parental virtues and fewer
parental weaknesses, than are often
seen in families where the member

and the difficulties of maternal duty
are great. She has an exemplary
family, considering the wayward
tendencies of childish folly and youth

the possession of exalted rank and
linitless wealth, with the temptations
to unlicensed enjoyment to be every
where encountered.
Many heartfelt congratulations will
be to-day expressed for the model
woman. the model wife during her
wife-hoOd, the model wife and model
Queen, who sits upon the English

VANDERBILT'S STRONG BOX.
a Vault 1hat Holds $2oo,oOo,o 600.

stood the other day III the vault of
the formidable fortress Of iron and
masoaary on Forty-second street,
where last year the richest nabob in
the world locked up his 5000, 600 900
Ia stocks, bonds and other securities.
1t is one of the the most redoubtable
works of defense on the American
continent, though you may not be
entirely certain Of that by surveying
the building from the outside. Its
foundations were blasted out of the
rock; the front wall is five feet in
thickness, and the side and rear walls
are three feet, the materials used
being press ed brick with brown stone
trimmings. The beams, Orders and
main pillars are iron, incased in fire,
proof material. The doors, window
frames, and minor partition are iron,
marble and glass. No wood is to be
found in the structure. The great
vault is 36X42 feet, of wrought iron,
steel and Franklinite iron, is impos-
ing in strength and proportions,
and is situated on the ground floor.
It's four outer doors weigh 5000
pounds each, and have every effect
tive and unknown improvement in
defensive device. a massive wall of
masonary surrounds the iron work.
The vault, which is burglar, fire and
water proof, constitutes a distinct
building in itself. The armed watch
men who guard the building day and
night are under the strictest discipline,
their hourly movements being record
ed by an electric clock connecting
with various points on each floor of
the structure, and there are also wires
running to police headquarters and
the Office of the district telegraph.
In one corner of this great vault, be-
hind heavy iron bars, are the heavier
doors of the works containing the
Vanderbilt securities, which can be
opened only by skeleton-kcys held
by the owner alone. I suppose that
a hundred men in this building, with
Calling guns could easily defend it
against a mob of 100000 assailants
it could be reduced by nothing less
than by the continued piay of heavy
artillery.
