He's an Old Man, Too, But AbIo to Tell
How He Was Injured.
There is a man in the City Hospital with
a broken neck. who is able to tell how the
accident occurred. He is Edward Dolling,
a shoemaker in Northeast Baltimore.
Dolling is sixty-eight years old and has
six children, the youngest being a daughter
of sixteen. His wife died several years ago.
He has been able to keep his little hcme TO-
geiher by working daily at his trade and
then. too, his children have helped.
One night D0llng started downt own to
purchase leather. La his walk he passed
Stars snuff mill, on Buren, street. Back of
the mill is a wall which bounds the falls
On this he sat to rest, when suddenly, he
SAYS, he became dizzy and fell beadlong to
the ground, distance of about fifteen feet
He struck on his head, and was found by q
policeman in a semi-cOnscious condition.
The patrol wagon took him to the City
Hos nital, where DIR. McReynOlds made an
examination and found his colar-bone
broken. He was put to bed in the accident
ward. This morning another examination
was made, and it was discovered that the
fifth cervical vertebra was fractured In
other words his neck was broken. 1t is an
extraordinary occurrence that he has lived
at all since his mishap. His entire body
below the shoulders is parayZed, and there
are no hopes of his recoyery.-Baltimore

NOT FALLING BEHIND.

An evening contemporary says that San
Francisco is falling behind other cities with
not half its natural advantages, and offers
as evidence Of its assertions the admitted
fact that cities which were not in existence
when San Francisco had become a big city
have taken some of its trade away from it.
Our evening contemporary keeps its bust
ness eye too closely fixed on official orders
to know what is going on around it, There
was time when San Francisco was the dis
trlbuting point for the whole Pacific Coast
Steamers from Eastern ports came TO this
city very early in lis American history.
From the north and the south traders came
here for supplies. San Francisco was the
commercial center not only of the northern
territories which have since become States,
but for the southern counties of this State
which have recently formed railroad con-
nection with Atlantic cities. Under these
conditions new cities are naturally spring.
ing up. They get their supplies from the
cheapest distributing point, and obtain
something like monopoly of trade for sew
eral miles around them. La this way they
are taking trade that once came to this city.
But it is natural growth, and one we have
no right TO complain Of Such northern
cities as Tacoma, Portland and Seattle, and
such southern cities as San Diego and Los
Angeles, can get merchandise from the
East on about the same terms as San Fran
cisco. The principal advantage the latter
city has is in its larger shipments. This adj
vantage does not enable US to reach into the
natural territory of these northern and
southern cities. Every large city on
this continent has had similar
experience. Boston has seen territory
taken from it while constantly increasing
its trade. Except in the matter of imported
goods New York does not supply the extent
of country 1t once did. AS population in
creases new cities spring into existence,
each taking from the older cities portion
of their trade. The merchants of the older
cities submit to eae inevitable whether they
like it or not. Iu early days of railroading
stage proprietors did not comprehend how
completely they were beaten. In some TO-

nevertheless that the chief sufferer will be
the country so unwise as to establish it.
Precisely how the United States is to be
made TO suffer for causing falling off iu
British exports is not made plain. The
avdily with which the English Govern
ment has sought foreign markets precludes
the assumption that England regards loss
OF trade as good thing in itself. Perhaps
the reasoning of the Times may be made
clear when we receive the TWO full columns

WILL CONTESTS.

Eastern papers are commenting on the
probable result of contest of the will of
the late Mrs HoPkins-Searles. While it is
not assumed that there are weak points in
the will, the fact that so many wills have
recently been broken is spoken of as hold
ing out chance that this may meet like
fate. There appears to be strong public
sentiment against wills that do not dis
tribute property rs the public think it
ought to be distributed. So long as the law
recognizes the exercise of undue influence
as one cause for breaking will there is
chance to break almost any will that can be
made. The point Mt which influence be-
comes undue" is left Tor jury to deter
