In the antecedents of Miss Nevins, who
married James G.. Blaine, Jr. She studied

were not rich their friends raised money to
send her to Europe to complete her musical
education. Murat HaIstead, who was one
of her special champions, wrote to Mr..
Childs describing the talent, beauty and
promise of Miss Nevins without mentioning
her name and asked him to contribute to q
fund to send her to Europe. Mr.. Childs
replied, enclosing a check for $500, but
there was condition attached to his sub
scription. He was not to know the name
Of the recipient and she was not to know his

brakeman who was going through various
sontortions on the top of q box car half way
down the yard.

first noticed the mans motions.
The others looked.
Pull out" caustically responded one
who had n plug hat. "Guess you don't
know much about railroading. Those
motions mean to back up"
Before the other could frame an answer
sufficiently ironical to suit his friends eyi-
lent lack of mental strength, the man with
she checked suit spoke up.

The fagman attracted by the excited
remarks, sauntered up, and on catching

expression of disgust mantled his features

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Their Commercial Aspects--Dead Wen
Cost less than Injured Ones.


Railroad accidents have, in the ewes of
stock spectators, merely commercial u.s.
pect When the terrible calamity on the
st. Paul was learned of Wall street wanted ia
know how many cars had been wrecked, how
many lives had been lost, but especially
how many people had been injured. The
especial stress laid on this last would not be
understood by the ordinary lay brother who
is outside of railroad Office, unconnected
with law Office, and who is not n stock
brokerage expert. The passenger who is
killed in railroad smash up costs the rail-
road company just $1,000. This is settled
law. Decision after decision has been made,
and legal fight has followed legal fight until
it is now accepted by litigants of all sorts
that IS 900 can be collected as damages for
the death of Il relative, and no more. But
while the courts have argued that for the
protection OF railroads damages for death
shall be limited, by one of those unaccount-
able inequalities of which the law is full no
limit has ever been set ON the sum that q
passenger can sue Tor who has received sim
cost railroad corporation $4,000;
broken arm, 300 900; but the children
can only collect SIS, 900 for tho loss of their
tather the widow can get no more for the
loss OF her husband. Dead lawyers count
40 more than tramps dead millionaires
bring after railroad wreck $4,000; dead
laborers cost the railroad lnst rs much. II
millionaire, however escapes alive from
smash up, he can probably get for his
broken arm 1875, 900, while the laborer who
escapes alive gets only $500 for his. This
IS law. Wall street is on to it, and really
expressed itself as gratifed the other day to
learn that in the terrible wreck at Rio all
had been killed none injured.
