OF the superstition of sailors. fishfolk |
and Others we have all heard, but that
such distinguishing characteristic
should have attached itself to railway
men does not appear to be generally
known. 1t savors somewhat OF the
anomalous that such prominently
practical class OF men should be the
victims OF credulity regarding the SUI
pernatural. Such, however, is the case.
recently had occasion to interview
| prominent railway official, and In the
course of the conversation that ensued
that gentleman incidentally alluded to
two collisions which had lately oc-
Cured in the neighborhood, following
up his remarks with the announce
ment that the local mon would be in
n state of subdued excitement and
"flurry" till third mishap took place.
Such is the superstition Of the railway
man. Upon expressing considerable
astonishment l was assured that this
kind of thing was notorious among
railway men in general, and in this
| particular instance it was known that
the circumstances of the two previous
accidents were the chief topics among
| the worlsmen in all departments, who
were also counting on the possibilities
of a third disaster.
Curiously enough touch of realism
was lent to the information just inn
parted by the explanation that the
second day of the two collisions re.
ferred to was due to the driver of one
of the engines, reliable servant noted
for his alertness and precision, with an
honorable record of some forty years
service, who was, it was believed, so
disturbed over the "omens' of the first
occurrence and so engrossed with what
he felt would be two other catastro-
phes that he committed the slight er.
ror of Judgment which caused his loco.
motive to crash into another coming in
an opposite direction. The statement
is given as the conviction of one who
has spent upward of q quarter of cen
tury among railway men of all classe:
and who has known the driver alluded
to for long period of years So came
about second collision. Surely su
: perstition could go no further thai
this.
But here is tragic sequel-a seque
!, which, unfortunately. will in all prob
ability do much to strengthen the rep
!, rehensible belief of these men. TIVE
days after the interview above men
toned, within fifteen minutes driv'
from the scene of the second collision
an express mail failed to take th'
points, portion of the train with th'
tender of the engine was violentl,
j. thrown across the rails and one poo
stoker killed. This is what the rail

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 25.-The trustees
Of the Girls Industrial school, at Della
ware, in their annual report to Gov.
Mckinley, mako somewhat surprls-
ing recommendation. They declare
that section of the compulsory law
under which truants are committed to
the reform schools, to be radically
wrong, and request its modification or
complete repeal
This recommendation is based on the
ground that the incarceration of chill
dren whose only evil has been aversion
to education with others of criminal
nature as tending to demoralize them
and inoulcate criminal ideas and hab-
its. Further than this the trustees
state that the institution is already
overcrowdcd, and the large influx OF
inmates under the truant law is maxi
ing the demand for accommodations
much greater than the capacity. The
average number of inmates during the
year was 1884 and the total expH Ntures
s32, 1920. Appropriations agg- Agating

Verdict Against Columbus Pool Sellers.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 25.-Mrs. Ellen
Fisher Friday secured judgment for
TAG against Thompson g. Co, who
formerly operated pool-room here.
She claimed that her husband lost
81, 600 in this room, and the judgment
was for this amount and 500 for inter
est. Thompson & Co. made the defense
that they were simply common car
riers for John Payne & Co., Of Covins-
ington, to whom they conveyed the
money put up In the room, but the
fudge ruled the defense out They
will carry the case up.

BIRTH RATE AMONG NEGROES.
Increase In Negro Babies Shown by the
Last Census Report.

Last census Report.
According to figures furnished by the
census office it is found that the total
colored population under 10 years of
age at the census of 1890 was 2, 1856, 000
Referring to the census of 1880 we find
that the total colored population under
10 years of age at that census was 2, 152,
OOO In other words the colored popu.
lation from 1880 to 1890 contributed to
the population of 1890 only 1000 more
than the colored population contrib
uted by births from 1870 to 1850. As
we know, the total colored population
at the census of 1880 was considerably
greater than the colored population at
the census of 1870, still the increase due
to births was substantially no greater.
This remarkable showing can only be
explained on one basis-namely: a
marked falling off in the birth rate
during the decade 1SS0-1S90
For fear that some careless person
may say that this simply indicates a
defective enumeration at the census of
1890 we would call attention to the fact
that it is not possible in an enumera-
ton to omit more persons at one age
period than at another, and therefore
the proportion of children under 10
years Of age at each census to the total
enumerated at that census would indi-
| cate the relative birth rate and would
be entirely free from any consequences
due to defective enumeration, and in
the case of colored people would also
not be disturbed by immigration. Re
ferring to the various censuses we find
that this percentage of population less
than 10 years of a ge to the total popu

Another rather dark costume has
been worn with good effect these later

Clad in white samite, mystic, wonderful.
For all OF white it hung upon the lay
figure when was ushered into It's awe
some presence. A vision OF lace and
flufiness and glisten 1t is. There is
O yoke of the smooth white stuff, and
from an enormous bow ct the bosom
fall two long ribbon ends below the
knee, deeply fringed at the end. A
heavy fall Of lace from the shoulders
forms the cape and the same lace falls
from the sleeve in languorous and be-
coming sweep. The skirt is perfectly
plain with moderate train-such one
as might have been worn without out
ranging the notions OF two years ago,
In fact, except the cape.
Another tea gown, and like the first
of moderate expense, is simpler; a sum
mer silk OF cool, sprigged effect, with
simple ruffle at the skirt bottom, COL
lar not smooth but gathered, bodice
not smooth, but shirred, its white lapels
edged with Cluny lace.

thing-with a deep frill OF lace edglng

A very smart woman wore gray

These padded rolls are things to be
reckoned With, by the By. They be-
long TO the early Guelph period, sup

belong to the autumn OF this year OF
grace 1898. In the Tudor times they
were worn about the hips. With pa

short OF that, but some where ana some
how we are bound TO wear them, sure.
They are not pretty, though they have
one use at the bottom Of the skirt; they
