Train Leaves the Track, Killing the En-

Special to the Gazette.
NAvAsoTA, Tex, Aug. I7.-Yesterday evening
a very serious accident occurred to the work
train on what is known as the Montgomery
branch OF the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way. AS the train was approaching Planters
vile, in Grimes county, it by some means left
the track, the engine turning over and the tender
closing upon it. The engineer and
fireman both jumped as the engine
commenced to turn over, but unfortunately
the engineer was killed instantly. His neck was
broken. The fireman had his leg mashed to a
jelly between the knee and ankle. Their names
are 4. L. Irwin, engineer, of Aurora, III, and
John Devers, fireman, of st. Louis. The corpse
of the engineer has been shipped to his late
home, and the fireman Devers win most proba-
bly, be sent to the railroad hospital at Galveston.
Though these men had been here only some two
three weeks, they had both gained the esteem
of our people as quiet, good men. The cause of
the accident is not known, but the road bed is in
bad condition.

quarters there. On Indian creek
there is quite large congregation
and meetings are held weekly, at
which polygamy is not only openly
preached. but attempts are being
made to carry the theory into prac-

success has attended the efforts of the

Cigarette Remedies.

The New York World published a
letter from cigarette smoker COM
planning that he could not stop the
habit. Following are some of the
replies
TO the Editor of the World:
Please inform F. M. A., who APP
peals TO you for help in his endeavor
to break himself from the nasty habit
of cigarette smoking, and all cigar
cite fiends. through your excellent
paper, that the chewing of the bitter
or hard almond kernels whenever
the craving for smoking makes itself
felt will kill the appetite for smoking
cigarettes and cigars, or tobacco in
any form. without fail.
To the Editor Of the World:
For the benefit of Cigarette
Fiend" and others allow me to say
that 1 over-came the habit of cigar
smoking by chewing small pepper
mint drops candy whenever felt
the craving for tobacco. By the time
I sickened of the candy, about
week after 1 began, the craving for
tobacco was gone entirely, and 1 quit
both smoking and chewing candy
without an effort.
To the Editor Of the World:
In to,day's paper l saw letter
from cigarette smoker complaining
that he could not stop the habit. He
can. l have been smoker for
twenty years. smoking fifteen cigars
and large number of cigarettes a
day. 1 smoke but one cigar or cigar
cite a week now. l stopped it by
buying a box of wooden toothpicks,
and when felt the desire to smoke I
put a toothpick in my mouth it
drives away the desire to smoke.
Also get some of the chewing gum
these one-cent slot machines will
furnish it; these will cure tobacco
chewing. Close your mouth while
chewing.

opinion that if there had been no
mountain above the viaduct, and no
yiaduct itself, the water would not
have done a hundredth part Of the
damage it did. The wave was not
over 80 feet high by the time it
reached Youngstown, and if it had not
been aided by the formation of the
valley of which l have spoken, il
would have been much less. In other
words, Johnstown would have been
swept by food, perhaps, but not by
a tidal wave."

There m many curious personal
habits and usage that originally
marked gentility. if not a~ristocracy.
The practice observed among Spanish
hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to
grow into claw like forms was to show
that they had never done any work.
The same thing is done by the Chinese
for the same purpose.
Among the ancient Romans the
wearing Of long sleeves, which came
down over the hand, was the fashion
in the upper circles. This advertised
TO the world that the wearer did not
engage in any labor, and freedom from
employment was, according to their
crude notionso of worth. the condition of
responsibility.
The height of a%bsurdity is reached
in the fancy of the Chinese leaders of
fashion who have gone to the extent
Of inducing shapeless ~deformity in
womeu's feet, and rendering the vic
Tins cripples for life, TO prove that
these could afford TO get along with
out doing anything for themselves.
Yet we cannot afford to laugh at the
Chinese in this matter. English boots
and shoes have been designed more or
less for the same absurd purpose. AS
early as the time of William Rufus
peaked toed boots and shoes excited
the wrath and contempt of the monk
ish historians. The shoes called piga-
cia had their points made like a scor,
pion's tail, and a courtier named Rob.
ert stuffed his out with tow, and
caused them to curl round in form of
II rams horn, a fashion which took
NIGHTLY among the mobiles"
1t is plain that the purpose of this
fashion was to show that the privileged
wearer was not dependent on any kind
of labor or tleetneSs of foot for his
daily bread.
The practice of wearing tight fitting
boots and shoes is an old one, for
Chaucer, writing of them in his day,
says that ii is

THE OK4 DISASTER.

This year 1899 will be remembered in
history for its many appalling disasters by
flood and FIRE. Pennsylvania and several
Eastern states have suffered irightfully
from the ravages OF floods and portions
of the West are being devastated by for
est fires. but through co~nfagrations in its
cities the new state of Washington
seems to be most fearfully afflicted.
First came Seattle which was al
most wiped from the face of the earth.
Then followed big co~nflasrations in sew
eral towns, succeeded n few weeks ago by
the humiliation OF EllenSburg and the
climax capped by the dreadful disaster in
Spokane Falls. OF all the towns in
Washington, Spokane, though not the
largest was the handsomest. Its location
is eligible and It's surroundings the most
advantageous of all the larger towns for
the spread of business.
Washington and the entire coast has
been afflicted for several years with a
horde of irresponsible characters who
have existed by preying upon the people
of the various communities. Lately al
organized effort has been made to drive
these gentry out. There is no doubt,
therefore. that these fires are OF incendi-
ary origin and that the tramps and thugs
have amply avenged themselves.
In the building of new Western towns
too little attention is paid to the water
supply. A disaster like that at Spokane
brings the subject strikingly before the
public and should be accepted as a warn
ing by other towns in the country to look
after the sources of their water supply
and the methods OF its distribution.
