1T DON'T PROHIBIT!

who have been accustomed to the
generous living and the unrestricted
social life of their native land will ex-

that will make their lives miserable.

does not prohibit. The argument of

An Express Train Wrecked.

road, which left Boston at II o'clock
Saturday morning, was wrecked at
$50 in the afternoon three miles
north of New Haven All the cars
baggage, smoker, two drawing room
cars and three regular cOaches-were
thrown from the track. Three pas
sengers were killed outright, four or
five were seriously injured and many
others were cut and bruised, but not
so badly but that they continued
their journey as soon as the track
was cleared. Workmen who stood
beside the track saw the first four
cars of the train roll over and over
down the embankment. The other
three cars left the track, but did not
roll down. Cries and shrieks came
from the 800 passengers who had
been thrown topsy turvey in all di-
rections. Among the killed was Miss
Mary E. Brigham, principal of Mt.
Holyoke seminary. The accident
was caused by the spreading of the
rails.

day and some are found every day.

that number as the nearest approach

One of the saddest things respect
