Collision between railroad Train and
an Electric Car.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, Feb. "A Cleveland
q Pittsburg shifting train ran into a
Manchester electric car at Woods Run,
last evening, wrecking the car and seri-
ously injuring two passengers. AT the
time of the accident there were a dozen
passengers in the car, many Of whom
were women, and they were badly
frightened, though they escaped without
injury.
The accident caused great deal of
excitement, which was intensified by
the feeling over the strike. A great
crowd Of people rushed to the scene and
cries of "Hang the motorman" were
heard, but officers were handy and no
violence was done. The strikers claim
the motorman WAS incompetent and ran
into the train.

The food bill of the family, including

perimented on patient family TO test the

OF the moderately well-tO-do family.
How the work to be done i'll the aver

best methods for performing it.
NV hat was the practical outcome Of
these discussions Y'
First, d clearer idea of what these ques-
tiOnS meant in other families, and what
were other ways than the queStloner's
own of meeting them
Again, the real size and importance of
certain questions became evident by dis
cusSiOn and access to the literature on
the subject. For instance, if any member
of the club had supposed there was short
and easy answer to her difficulty in find
ing capable assistance in doing the work
Of her house she soon came to realize that
she and her sister housekeepers are con-
tronted with a problem having moral
and social factors as well as economic
ones, and that this problem is fully as inn
portant as interstate commerce, trade
unions or any other of the questions that
the modern economist puzzles his brains
over.
Each member of this club became con-
WINGED that while working with one
hand at the service question, as 1t now
presents ITSELF she must make ready
with the other for a change more radical
than anything that housekeeping has
known for centuries.
Is the future form to be cooperation d?
That seems uncertain. But the members
of this club know at least the history of
such cooperative experiments as have
been made in this country and the prob
able causes of their failures; also this
much has become certain, that the true
experimental spirit has not yet been put
to work at housekeeping questiOns-that
spirit as it is known in the laboratories,
Of patient observation Of trial Of new
ways on a small scale and careful record
of results on which to base fresh expert
ments.
The members Of this club feel that their
work during the past winter has been
imperfect; but another year they expect
to cover the ground more systematically Y
and to select some part of the house
keeping problem for special study as to
to have addresses from experts on GER
tain subjects.
They do not trouble themselves as yet
as to the practical outcome Of this work,
feeling sure that whatever improvement
is possible in our domestic condition is to
come as a natural outgrowth of such
study, that a better grasp of principles
must precede all else.

the trustees, DIR. John Hall and Robert R.
Booth, cannot be party to the abroga-

form minority of two. Notwithstand-
ing the legal opinions with which the
board has fortified itself, Notwithstanding
the lofty sense of duty to which the body
processes tardy alliance, these two MEM
berS still have the old-fashioned idea that
when body of Christian men have de-
hberately pledged their word to do a cer-
tain thing, they are bound to do it by
law higher in authority than any civil
statute or court decision. Probably not
man composing the majority of the board
would take any other view than this of

tered. The amazing thing is that Chris
tian men, honorable in every private re-
lation, should do things so morally queer
in their corporate capacity"

witness of the nobility of self-devotion,
beyond all that could have been claimed
by strict justice, to the uplifting of the

to guard against the misuse of such eX-
pressions Of reverence and respect. Just
now there seems to be a tendency, born
OF an unthinking good-nature and the
foe of social precedent, not merely to
make recognition of unusual merit, but
to confer some mark OF public esteem
