ANOTHER fatal grade crossing has come to emphasize the protest against these death traps. Last Friday evening Mrs. John Williams and her daughter, Katie, also Miss Mildred Burden, were crossing the railroad at Main-st., East Hartford, having stopped while 8 passenger train was passing, when they were struck by the rear car of backing freight train. Miss Burden was instantly killed, Miss Williams soon died from injuries received, while Mrs. Williams escaped with little injury. The train hands most directly re- sponsible were arrested, 1t being consider ed that there was gross carelessness in the case. The crossing gates were tenn porarily out of order, and f1agman with 8 lantern was stationed there, but the la dies did not see him.

THE orators who most strongly advo- cate "flee raw materiap' are the ones who most desire free trade, and are adroit in this move toward it. Free wool would incite the wool growers of the country to work with the free traders in punishment of their allies who permitted the discrim- ination against one of Americas leading products, and would be long step to- wards the free trade being worked for under the guise of tariff reform. Wool is cheap enough. It is cheaper now than when the Mckinley bill was passed. The ultimate result of protection is lower prices. All precedent shows this, and wool will not be an exception, is not now, save in few grades of coarse wool, used in carpet making, upon which the tax should be removed as soon as it is made certain that this country cannot produce them under the stimulus of protection not before.

Sweet-faced girls are particularly In
their element this summer, for the hats
seemed designed especially for them.

very trying to all the women who are
not sweet-faced that the pretty girls
have the monopoly Of admiration.

The novel low crowned sailor hat is
. going to be the favorite for outing ex-
petitions. Clad in q striped navy
blue and white flannel suit, with a big.
rolling Jack Tar collar and a broad
four-in-hand neclztie, and topped by one
of these broad, low crowned sailor hats,
Mrs. Jack Tar or Miss Gill Tar is as
pretty and refreshing a sight as Jack
wishes to take with him upon his yacht
ing or sailing expedition.
At tennis, these hats are likewise
popular, because tho girls find that they
shade the eyes just sufficiently to keep
the sun from dazzling them at criti-
cal moment in the game, and though
the pretty little cheats will not own It,
the broad sailor brims, If tipped little
forward, protect the upper half Of the
face and the tip of the nose from the
too fierce rays Of the sun.
There is the Brighton hat. It came

And then there is the new pomponette
Bailor hat, which is like the low
crowned sailor with the brim slit ut the
back and turned up where 1t is caught
in the top Of the crown by bunch Of
pompons and half a dozen velvet loops
and ends This hat also is dyed to
match costumes, for this is the year
when the hat, dress, parasol, shoes,
stockings and gloves must be all very
near of tint.
The special tennis hat Is q sailor with
q higher crown than the novelty sailor
and not as broad brim. It comes in
all colors and is trimmed with band Of
ribbon with no bow or loops at the
side, being fastened neatly with clasp.

tune In this country, for Scotch tweeds,
Scotch plaids, Scotch ginghams and
Scotch caps have been very fashionable
indeed. And now we have the lovely
India silks wrought out of Scotch de-
sign, bearing the big. gaudy thistle all
over their surface. Like the real
thistles the imitation ones are some
what irregular in design, and size. and
shape. The color likewise is varie-
gated, alternating all along the line Of
pink, through the various shades of
green, verging on to the white and drab,
touching on one or two shades OF
yellow, and finally settling down to the
big, glorious red thistle that Is the
pride of the Scotchman and the de-
light of the woman with decorative
art tastes.
The white China silks are seen with
beautiful green thistles as large as life.
and even in heroic size upon their sur
face. Pink silks have both the green
and the white thistles, while yellow.
brown and blue ones have the thistle
pattern in all the colors named These
are really very pretty, and make up in

Very many jewels are still seen In all

If anything new has been prepared in
the jewelry trade it is in the line Of
clasps, which are SO varied in size,
shape and material that they fairly be-
wilder one who tries to keep any &C
count of their latest designa-
Many of them are scroll shape
Others are shaped like painters pal

snowy. Many places are found for
these clasps upon the gown. One. two
and even three may be accommodated

One, two, three and even more are re-

Another fastens the chatelaine to the

clasp at the back of the waist, at the
side of the skirt where the drapery
comes together or is caught up and also
upon the top of the sleeve catching the

CORTE PLAYING A PART.

He Is Airing His Views in Rome on tho
New Orleans LynchinG.
ROME, June 22.-Sig. Corte continues
to air his views on the subject of the New
Orleans lynching on every possible occa-
sion.
He is particularly hattered by his i'm
portance, and it is evident that his utter
ances are framed to stir up and infiame
popular opinion.
He also seems to be making side
show of the little boy Grimande, who
survived the New Orleans massacre, but
his main object evidently appears to be
to establish himself as q hero in the
eyes of the people of Italy.
In an interview which is published in
the Corriere di Napoli with him, and
which is evidently designed to increase
popular feeling, he says:
"On the day of the massacre of the
Italians the crowd, drunk with fury,
rushed into the street in which the Ital-
ian Consulate is situated.
II was abandoned by my servants and
alone, with the aid of my secretary, I
barricaded the door and awaited my as
sailers, revolver in hand. They were
finally counselled by influential per-
sons, and although the lynchers hooted
and Kissed insults at Italy, they did not
attack the Consulate.

wonderful Intelligence of Birds.

DR.. c. @. Abbott says that in expert
ment on the intelligence Of birds he
placed number of pieces of wooden
yarn-red, yellow, green, purple and
gray in color-near a tree in which a cou-
pie of Baltimore orioles were building
their nest. The pieces of yarn were all
exactly alike except in color. There
was an equal number of threads of
each color, the red and yellow being
purposely placed on top. The birds
chose only the duller colors, taking all
of the gray and afew threads Of the pur-
pie when the nest was nearly done.
Not a single thread of the red or
bright yellow was touched, the birds
seeming to instinctively know that such
loud colors would make their domicile
too conspicuous. Again he experiment.
ed by girdling the branches upon which
nests were located, causing the leaves
to shrivel and blow away. Although
they had laid their eggs, the birds in
variably left their nests. If the nests
contained young when the leaves dried
up, Notwithstanding the exposure, they
would feed the little ones until they
were able to take care of themselves.

Money in electrical science,

Lucre has smiled on the explorers in
the field of electrical science. No scien-
tific body in the country has so many
millionaires as the American Institute
Of Electrical Engineers. At the top of
the list is Alexander Graham Bell,
whose profits on the telephone are
represented by eight figures. Next
comes Edison with a seven figure for
tune. Brush, of electric light fame, and
Elihu Thompson, whose financial
future is perhaps brighter than any Of
the others just now, are more than
millionaires. Frank J. Sprague was q
junior officer in the United States navy
six years ago. He is now living in the
mansion which was built for the Grants.
His company sold out to the Edison
company for $1,000, 900, and half of 1t
went to the inventor. Frank L..Pope, of
New York, and score Of others have
independent fortunes. Most of these
men were telegraph operators, and
most of them began their experiment.

room for a quantity Of new importa-
lions Just received from "abroad."
The average woman notices only the
sign and the general material of the
goods, and without stopping to think
that she is buying something which is
no better than her own old last years
dress, she invests her good dollars and
cents upon the so-ca1led bargain ma
terial, and goes on her way regretting,
perhaps, that she did not buy more.
Later, when she sees that the goods
are from an old style pattern, are more
or less soiled and undesirable, she real
lies her mistake, and taking the money
which she saved on her purchase, she
goes forth and buys enough new style
sentable. When the gown is all bought
she had gone directly to the counter
which displayed the latest spring styles.
And often she finds that 1t has cost
more. Next day she sees another bar
gain sign and, though, having been
badly bitten by her first purchase, she
Is unable, II she be woman of prudent
saving instincts, to conquer her desire
to get great deal for a very little
money, and In she goes again for
another purchase that will wreck tho
sum which she has set aside for a nice
summer dress.
With hats the case Is somewhat differ
emit, for every one knows that the style
which prevails this year will be entirely
out of date next year, and that the
milliners must sell now If they are 60
ing to sell at all Consequently, by
waiting until the first rush of the season
Il over, one may often secure a very
good bargain in hats and bonnets. In
the milliners' windows the capotes.
toques and fancy hats which were
marked at from $1,000 to $780, 90 early In
the season are now sold from 5000 to
$500.
Untrimmed hats are even cheaper In
proportion, for those which are not sold
already are stacked in the show cases
to be given away for almost any price
which the buyer chooses to pay. By
tudicious1y selecting a hat of the cor
rect shape, and one that is nearest like
the fashionable prevailing modes, and
then selecting ones trimming at the
flower, feather or ribbon counters, and
taking all the purchases back to the
milliners to be trimmed one can get q
very good hat at q very reasonable price.
For example, suppose one goes into
the store and finds that q hat ready

The TRAIN plrohEp.

road Accident.


CLEVELAND, O., June 22.-An excursion
train Of IS coaches left this city for Oak
Point, q pleasure resort on the New
York, Chicago s. St. Louis Railroad,
about 20 miles west Of here, early yester-
day afternoon.
The engine was running with the ten
der In front, and when about two miles
west of Dover jumped the track, caGs-
ing the rails co spread and ditching the
train.
The engine went down the embank.
ment, pulling one car with It. The next
two cars were telescoped and reduced to
kindling wood.
The farmers living near the railroad
FASTENED to the scene and with the aid of
the passengers unhurt began the re-
moval of the dead and injured.
The air was filled with the screams Of
the injured and the frightened women
In the shattered coaches. Only one per-
son, Henry Rogers, was killed outright
At least 10 and possibly moro were in
jured.
Six coaches in all left the track. The
fact that the coaches broke loose from
the trucks is undoubtedly all that saved
the lives Of tho passengers.
The engine was turned completely
around and lies dismAntled in the ditch.
The smbankment over which the cars
plunged is about six feet high. Many
OF the passengers jumped through the
windows In their efforts to escape and

Improvement in nrICrosCopiO Lenses.

1t is stated that an immense improve
ment has recently been effected In the
manufacture of glass for optical instru-
ments by means of the addition to the
ordinary materials Of phosphorus and
chlorine, which in some as yet unex-
planned way cause the glass to be very
much more transparent, and enable It
to receive much higher degree Of pol,
ish than any optical glass hitherto man
ufactured. Thus microscopes can be
made which will render. objects of the
diameter of only the one eight-millionth
of millimeter visible, whereas with
the best instruments now in use the dia-
meter of the smallest object that can be
seen is one sixteen-thousandth of mil
limeter. This news, we fear, Is too
good to be true.

IT is said that Commissioner of Pen
sions Raum, with the assistance of the
pension attorneys, had made himself
solid with the administration, and that
in consideration of he and the pension
attorneys having agreed to swing the G.
A. R. into line for Harrison, that gentle
man had agreed to forget all the damag-
ing charges that had been brought
against Rauin and allow him to continue
in charge of the pension office. This
deal gives Mr. Harrison the active sup
port of the National Tribune, Lemons
paper, and also of new soldiers paper
which is to be started at Chicago by the
pension ring. If true, it may in the end
turn out the dearly bought support.

refuses to be inundated by the threats
of the French Embassy into hasty action
in the matter of the recent riots as Jeru-
salem between the Greeks and the Ro-
man Catholics, in which the Turkish
soldiers rather took the side of the
Greeks. The French Ambassador sent q
peremptory message for redress in be-
half Of the Catholics, whose protector
France claims to be. The Porte, how
ever, ignores the French Interference and
is going about the investigation In a
deliberate way.
