After leaving Woodsdale the coupling Of

at Mlddletown the train was stopped to fur

Middletown which hides train standing at
the depot from the view of train from the
south. A hagman was sent back to flag
the oncomiDg freight, which was moving at
q high rate of speed and was heavily
loaded. The engineer of the freight saw
the fagman, put on the brakes, reversed the
engine and apparently did all in his power
10 stop his tram, but the impetus was too
great and a moment later on awful crash

HUNS AND POLEs UGLY.

They May Attempt to Raid the Fur
mace at Steeltol.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 26.-The situa-
tion at Steelton is considered rather serious
tonight. The company to-day started up
the No. 2 furnace which had been banked.
The men at work are principally colored
men. This has angered the Hungarians
and Poles who worked at the
furnace and they threaten to over
power the deputy sheriffs and raid the fur
mace. There was a report that the Bessemer
mill would be started tomorrow, but the
management is yet undecided on this. 1t is
expected that at least l. 400 men will be at
work tomorrow, as applications for en-
ployment to-day we're numerous. The men
at the Loohiel works are still out, the pro-
prietors having refused to sign the scale.

plowed up, near Lakewood, the bones of a
man and woman of remarkable size. Local
historians claim that they are the remains
Of prehistoric race. Whatever the real
facts may be- the affair has caused much
excitement IN this section. and
everybody has theory for
the skeleton giants. One newspaper man
here brought home the femur and skull of
the man in a -four sack, and has them on ex-
hlbition at Chautauqua TO night. The cur
rent belief is that they were white settlers
who fell in the French and Indian wars. A
very curious and suggestive thing about the
"tindn was that the lower jaw of the man
was intact, while that Of the woman was
entirely gone, showing that womankind
was much the same in prehistoric times as
now.

Marriage a Hundred Year. Hence.

At the present time popular pre-
sumption exists that all girls wish to
marry. and fail to do SO only because
they lack an eligible opportunity. This
presumption exists on account of the OBJ
vious fact that women, being able with
difficulty to support themselves, have in
general a greater material interest in
marriage than men have. Surely there
can be few incidents of an unmarried
woman's condition more exasperating
than her knowledge that because this is
the undeniable fact it is vain for her to
expect to be popularity credited with the
voluntary choice of her condition She
must endure with a smile, however she
may rage within, the coarse jest or in
1uendo to which it would be worse than
vain to reply. Nationalis1n, by estab-
fishing the economic independence of
women, without reference to their single
or married state, will destroy the pro-
sumption referred to by making mar
riage no more obviously desirable to one
sex than to another.-Edward Bellamy

WiId Boars at Winds.,r..

Last week three wild boars were shot
m the queens swine garden in Windsor

majesty, and the other was sent to the
Prince of Wales. Wild boar was first
served at the royal table during the reign
OF George ~, who was very fond of it.
John Wilson Croker records that when
he was staying with the king at the Pa
Vlhon in January, 1922, his majesty
made us all eat some roast wild boar
from Hanover, which was very good, like
pork with game flavor" Mr. Croker,
ON being asked by the king what he
thought of it, replied, lit is to pork
what pheasant is to fowl" whereupon his
majesty observed that nothing is so
good as fowl; if they were as scarce as
pheasants, and pheasants as plenty as
fowls, no one newould eat pheasant -.
