Apassenger was killed on the Boston
and Maine railroad fortnight since
by getting off a passenger train at q
station on the "off side" and being
struck by a slowly moving empty en-
CINE on the adjoining main track. The
passenger alighted before the train
stopped, and there was lack of judy
ment in signaling the empty en- CINE,
but the state board of railroad commits
sioners, who investigated the case, lay
chief stress on the matter of gates. It
appears that all the cars on the train
were equipped with platform gates,
and that the commissioners have in
past years recommended the roads of
the state to use such a safeguard, but
they were not closed in this instance,
and the superintendent testified that
passengers objected to them and threat
ened to jump over if they were used.
The commissioners very justly re-
iterate their recommendation and ap-
ply it specifically to ''all divisions Of
the Boston and Maine road" It is true
that passengers will "kick," and that
with the ordinary car platform it is
not easy to make perfect barrier, but
a we'll designated gate, such as may be
seen on the Boston and Albany and
the New York and New England, is
valuable means of warning passengers
that there are bounds beyond which
they can go only at their peril.
It is one of the wonders of modern
civilization that so many hundreds of
passenger trains daily discharge their
passengers at stations where freight
trains pass within four feet of unpro-
tected steps, and at speeds from fifteen
to thirty miles an hour or faster with
out killing more passengers than they
do. The American traveller who does
not have his wits about him is very
infrequent fellow, comparatively, but
he needs to be looked out for neverthe-
less. Railroad Gazette.

PROCEEDINGS IN rHE SENATE AND
HOUsE
Thursday March -.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE senate ~
sumed consideration Of the Blair educational
bill. Mr. Eustis referred to two s:etemsnts
made by Mr. Huar In reference ID the south.
ern states, one being that In the state OF
Louisiana and In some OF the other states
there were laws which made IL penal
offens,, punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary, for white men to be on terms
OF equality with black man. He asserted
thaG there was not the slightest foundations
for such statement There never had been
Q necessity for the state Of Louisiana to EN-
act such preposterous law. The other
statement by Mr.. Hoar was to the effect
that there was another law In Louisiana
which provided for the sale Of any colored
man found for certain time out of work,
and that the former master should have the
preference In the purchase.
After a long colloquy the educational
bill was taken up as the unfinished business,
and Mr.. Blair addressed the senate In reply
to certain structures ON the bill.

While petitions were being presented Mr..
Cockrell rose topresent remonstrances against
the extradition treaty with Russia, but was
notified that that was matter for executive
session.
Mr.. Vest said that he had several such pc
titions, but that he had consulted with sew
eral of the oldest senators, and that there
was a general consensus of opinion that they
should be presented in executive session.
The presiding officer, Mr.. Ingalls,, held
that petitions relating to business pending in
executive session should be presented in ex-
ecutive session.
Mr.. Platt said that of course these petit
tions went ON the idea that there was an ex-
tradition treaty pending between this coun-
try and Russia. The newspapers published
what purported to be such a treaty, or the
substance Of it. That had called forth these
circumstances. He did not see that any
harm would result from their being pre-
sented in open session, and it seemed to him
that people exercising the right of petition
should have the opportunity of knowing that
their petitions were presented.
Mr.. Cockrell remarked that the petitions
were in print, and had been. he presumed.

fully asked the senate not to ratify the pend
ing or any treaty.

True Health Restorative.
The most skeptical should be convinced
by the following brief extracts from letters
recently received by us, that Paine's Celery
Compound is an unfailing means of cure in
all diseases which are caused by weakened
nerves.
"For some months before using Paine's
Celery Compound, l was afflicted with in
somnia and more or less vertigo-all
brought on by overwork and protracted
anxiety.
"Since using the Compound I feel much
better, sleep soundly, and my head troubles
me less. Ihave not. meanwhile, intermitted
or materially slackened my work.
"For the benefit l have gained from your
preparation l am grateful to God and
thankful to you" L. B. w. SHRYocK,
Pastor of Presbyterian Church. Reynolds
vile, Pa.
Three months after writing the above
Rev. Mr.. Shryock said: "The symptoms
for which used Paine's Celery Compound
have not returned, although Ihave had no
leisure or vacation from work"
"For . long time I was 10 nervous and
worn out that l could not work. tried
many medicines but none gave me relief
until l used Paine's Celery Compound,
which at once strengthened and invigorated
my nerves. Many Of my friends have used
it at my recommendation, and they all
agree with me in pronouncing it the best
nerve tonic ever discovered"
HARLEY SHERMAN, Burlington, Vt.

you should not despair Of cure. What
the Compound has done for others twill
