Another Coach Catastrophe.

Accidents are becoming altogether too
frequent on the Helena s Benton stage
line. The employees of the company seem
not to have profited by the disaster Of a
few weeks ago which resulted in the Sc
rious injury of Mrs. Lyons and others. The
cause of the first accident was the loading
Of the coach with freight enough to fill a
freight traia.
Last Wednesday morning the coach left
Helena at about s o'clock with Messrs.
Stephen Spitzley, A. E. Dickerman and
Dell Chowen of Great Falls, DR.. Newman,
the able Sun River physician, and an of
ficer of the e. S. army en- route to ASSN
aboine. The agents at Helena kept pack
ing on an unreasonable amount of freight
and paid no heed to the demonstrations of
the passengers who admonished them of
the danger Of loading so heavily. When
about a mile, this side of Moore's between
Rock and Flat creeks, on almost level
ground the top-heavy coach capsized. For
tunately the wheel horses fell down and
were thus prevented from running away
and killing all the passengers. The driv-
err is said to have thrown away his lines
and jumped to save himself, leaving his
passengers to their fate. The latter state
that this driver stoodss around after the ca
%tastrophe, perfectly indifferent to their con-
dition, even declining to assist in helping
to lift up and carry to a neighboring house.
Mr.. spitzley, who was Frustrated by his
injuries. We regret that we did not learn
the name of this brutal driver that We
might hold him up to the execration of the
puulic and brand him as a man unworthy
the confidence of anyone. He should
never be given another job wen to drive
a cart and donkey. Mr.. Diekerman's fore
head was so badly cut, that he will proba-
bly, bear the marks of that accident through
life. Dell Chowen escaped with slight
bruises. DR.. Newman fortunately was
only slightly injured 80 that he was able
to administer to the injured. He dressed
MIR. Dickerman's wound and greatly re-
lieved Mr.. Spitzley who is very seriously
injured, but to what extent could not be
determined. His arms and chest are bad
ly bruised and he is suffering terribly
from the internal injuries. Itcomes espec-
tally hard upon him because he arose from
a severe illness to go to Helena to attend
the wedding of Mr.. Chowen and Miss Ball.
It is feared that it will be many weeks be-
fore he will be able to be about again. Mr.
Gets, superintendent of the line, brought
Messrs. Dickerman and Chowen home by
private conveyance and has returned to
Moore's ranch whence he will bring Mr..
spitzley to Great Falls BY easy stages.
Comment upon this second accident is un-
necessary. If they would not profit by the
sad and to them, expensive results Of the
first, they are likely to keep right D en-
sharing unsuspeeting travellers into their
over-burdened death-traps.

The Man who is Fit For Husband,

according 10 the gospel of the Higher
Life Of the Household. in the interest Of

those into whose interests and destinies
their own lives are woven; who correct

the baneful result of being unfit for these
important places in life.
In much OF the public discussion

The Higher Life of The Household, the
weight OF argument Is too often thrown
into the balance against the side in
which the women folks are necessarily
found, and "a Country Parsonn in his
paper NV. II, Il. VS.; Women Fit For
Wives, throws his ssfrozen chunks of
truth into the same balance, but with
much candor and comprehension. No
consideration of this subject. however,
is fair and judicial one, that does not
accept the situation as it actually exists
that does not first ''look on this pic
ture and then on this, with the same
measure and range of vision. Simply
because wOman's realm is ut home
and mans abroad, is no reason why
that homo should be any happier.
brighter or better that the Woman is
Fit For q Wife. than that the Man is Fit
For Husband. Circumstances do
not "alter cases''-in this case.
The man whose daily walk and con-
yersation abroad in the world, as well
as at home, is such as to Fit him for
Husband according to the gospel herein
expounded, is one whose life is worth
the living in this world and is mot far
from the kingdom OF the world TO
come. And the Women who are Fit
For Wives will be near at hand when

No matter how Fit Woman may be

or force to make it a place Of torment at

TI0N BY DIR. BL ACK,

To the Editors Of the Appeal:
La your issue of the l4th Instant
you copy an article from the Mississippi
Valley Medical Monthly which contains
a comparison of morluary satisfies
between the City Hospital Of Mem
phis and the City Hospital OF 81. Louis,
Charity Hospital, New Orleans, and
the Marine Hospi al, Memphis. The
Monthly has not only misrepresented
the condition OF "our Hospital" but
has published to the world statistics
Of its own make which are not correct,
which do an injustice to our people
and an injury to Memphis if allowed
to 20 uncontradictsd.
There can bs no comparison be-
tween the st. Louis Hospital and our
Hospital, because Of the surroundings
OF the two cities, and, therefore, the
character of the diseases treat d, are

burg, it will be seer at a glance that
We have a large territory, the most
unhealthy probably in the Mississippi
Valley, from which to receive our
patients. They come TO US from every
State and Territory in America and
almost every county on the globe,
broken down by ~hardships and ex-
poSure and starvation, and over
powered by malaria in its most viru-
lent form
The Marine Hospital does not treat
this class OF patients. 1t receives no
cases OF pernicious ma'arjal ievers
and eongestions contracted in the
swsmps of Arkansas and Mississippi.
MOI does it receive any Of the chronic
diseases in their last stages, shipped
10 this city for q place 10 die, recovery
being beyond hope.
Notwithst anding these facts, il will
be seen further on that the mortal
ity in our hospital compares most ia
vorably with that of the hospital men
toned by the Monthly.
We have a right to expect the
Monthly to publish true statistics and a
true picture of Jul Hospital when IL
attempts to discuss matters of such i'm
portsnce and interest to our people.
But throughout this discussion it has
not hesitated TO publish just 80 much
as suited the ends it had in view, and
has not hesitated to make statements
that canno be verified. The follow

of the vital statistics of the four

ADJUSTMENTS.
Forepaugh g. samweII's ShO'

FOrepRugh g. samWelPs SHOW.
The above show opened on the bluff
last night to a crowded tent, and hun
dreds were turned away. The per-
formance was in every way satisfac-
tory aud called forth unbounded ex-
pressions of approval by the large au-
dience present. Among tie best fea-
lures are lola, the lady who rides a
bicycle over a wire suspended high in
the air. Her most marvellous feat is
carrying another lady across on her
back She is the only woman in
America who performs this feat. Sam
wells performing dogs are very re-
markable. They leap higher than
any other trained dogs ever seen here.
The performances OF these intelligent
animals arc especially interesting to
children. Another wonderful animal is
Icons aching donkey, which seems to
have almost human intelligence.
The Forspaugh family, in their act
called the "Leap for Lie" gives very
thrilling exhibition OF skill and daring.
Their bicycle riding and performances
on ladders are also remarkable. Annie,
Dollie and Mamie Forepaugh do a
novel act in skating or riding on the
uniCycle. Kline. with bis kicking
pony, Peanuts; Harrison, the Contor-
tionlat, and other features OF the show
make it generally satisfactory. The
admission price is remarkably cheap
for the entertainment. Its exhibitions
are given every afternoon and evening
during the week on the bluff at the
foot Of Union street.
