DEATH ON THE RAILS
Two Disastrous Train Wrecks on Penn
SylVania Roads.
A NUMBER KILLED AND INJURED
Suicide of a Bankrupt Broker on a
Railway Train--A Jadge Ar
rested for Forgery

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The South
ern express on the Pennsylvania road
this morning collidedTwith an accomo-
dationA train in West Philadelphia.
Three cars of the accommodation train
were wrecked, five people killed and
fifteen injured. The names have not
yet been learned. Those killed were in
the last car of the accommodation train,
which was crossing the track of the
Southern Express and was hit full in the
middle by the engine of that train,
smashing it to pieces. Passengers on
the express train were uniniured. The
accident was due to the slippery con-
dition of the track, making it i'm possible
for the engineer of the express to control
the train. Four were killed and ten
injured, none dangerously.

road between Phenixville and Spring
City occurred last night. Shifting en-
gine 1902, going east with an empty train
of 40 coal cars, collided with an extra

and both engines lay on their sides with
fourteen coal cars badly broken up.
Watson Weller and John Dennis were
killed, and Fireman McCord and Flag
man Davis, of the shifting engine crew,
who reside at PhenixviIle, were serious
ly injured. Fireman McCord died soon

Now Carrie. the American Flag.


NEW YoRK, Feb. 22.-For the first
time in generation the stars and stripes
today float over an ocean greyhound, the
peer of any craft afioat. For the first
time since the country boasted mer-
camille navy of clipper ships whose sails
whitened every quarter of the globe-in
fact, for the first time in the history of
the nation, it's flag will guard modern,
well-equipped, Incompatible steamship,
and it is singularly appropriate too that
it should be unfurled on Washington's
birthday. Bad weather did much to
diminish the crowds lining the Battery
and the neighboring shore. ''Old Glory"
was spread from the stern of the New
York amid the shrieking of innumerable
shrill whistles from various river craft,
the roar of cannon from United States
men-of-war re-echoed by guns of the fort,
and the cheering of hundreds of onlook--
ers. The event.inaugurates new era
in American shipping history. All pa
triotic Americans have had the deepest
interest in transferring the majestic
steamships City of New York and City
| of Paris from the British to the Ameri-
I can flag, and. the ship was crowded with
guests favored with invitations to wit
mesa the ceremony. The. most distin-
gnished. officers of the government, of
the states and of this municipality, and
the leading men in commerce and the
professions were invited to witness the
act, including the president and mem
bers of the cabinet, United States sena-
tors and representatives,
The president aud party arrived at
l:5o. They were met by detail OF off,
GERS from the naval reserve and conveyed
on, board the steamer New York. The
ceremonies proceeded without delay.
They were simple, brief and impressive.
The president of the United States
pulled the halyard that sent the emblem
of liberty huttering to the breeze. Next
the Chicago fired the national salute of
2l guns. This was responded to by all
the forts i'll the hanbor.s There were in
formal speeches, then the entire party
adjourned to the grand saloon, which
was appropriately decorated, where a
sumptuous collation. was served.

A Detail In a Government Office.

1t is the popular impression tha. the
smaller affairs of government are very
loosely run and that in any of the de-
partments are opportunities for fat pick
lngs by any man not overscrupulous.
AS evidence of the incorrectness of this
theory n Of the treasury department
employees relates an incident of the first
day of Mr.. Carlisle's administration.
Secretary Foster had occupied one chair
at his desk for a long time, and, as men
will, had become attached t 0 it. He ex-
pressed a desire to take it with him.
Certainly" said his successor, take it
along 1t was more easily said than
done. First an order was necessary:
then the chair was to be accounted for
to the official who has such matters in
charge; then it was to be paid for. It
was a valueless piece of furniture. AS a
short way out of the difficulty the ap-
praiser was sent for. He eyed the wreck
over and said it might be worth So to
anybody who wanted it very much.
All right" said the new secretary.
Then he put his hand in his pocket,
pulled out a 81 bill, paid the official and
presented the chair to his predecessor
Washington. Post.

A young woman who is altogether in
dependent, but who has the very small
income of 5000 a year, suddenly resolved
last fall to go abroad for the first time.
She engaged a second class passage on a
fast Steamer and paid $35, besides Is to
the steward, for a large room and most
excellent fare. Her companions on the
vessel were few and very agreeable PEG
pie, gentle folks like herself. She went
directly to Torquay. where she found
board for S. a week and where she spent
the winter, going up to London toward
spring and making a fortnight's trip to
Paris with a little Frenchwoman. The
latter excursion cost her exactly $23. She
arrived home in the middle of Nav. not
having overdrawn her income, delighted
with her eight months in Europe and de-
termined to do the whole thing over
again.-Philadelphia Press.

The Passing Rage For Gliding,


A bottle of gliding in the hand OF
vogue is more dangerous than the proven
bal pot of paint in the hand of a WON
an. The latter daubs every available
useful article within reach IN the name
of freshness.
But fashion smears as copiously, and
this in the name of high art. We have
watched with a shudder prim New Eng
land splint bottomed chairs brought
from the attic to be dressed in a coat of
imitation gold. We have seen all sorts
OF homogeneous articles, including roll
ing pins and potato Washers, filing their
plebeian pores with this outward and
visible sign of the Kelley cure. And
now the depths are literally sounded
fishers nets are dragged from the sea
and gilded.
Not that all cheap effects are mean any
more than all mean effects are CHEAP.
The gliding only adds to the expense Of
fish netting, whichis really popular with
artistic folks sin its natural state" be-
aus of its soft gray coloring and its in
clnation to hang gracefully. It is q
charming acquisition to the list of inex-
pensive draperies. New York Timea

WOLETS IN THE A

The blue wild violets in the grass,
They smile up at me as l pass;
The tender hue of April skies,
They mind me Of my baby's eyes,
My bonnie little laughing lass
Amid the violets in the grassI
The bonniest babe was ever born!
Hell tresses like the tasseled corn,
Her mouth the sweetest half blown rose.
Her laugh the merriest breeze that blows,
Her eyes, what could their blue surpass?
Not cen the violets in the grass.
All me! how plain I see her stand,
Her feet sunk in them, and her hand
Eager to pluck them all for me,
Her face aglow with baby glee,
Her fingers hidden in the mass
Or blue wild violets in the grass!
Again see her. laid at rest,
The vlolets nesting in her breast.
The waxen fingers, white and cold,
Stiil clasp them in their patient hold,
But know not now, alas, alas!
The touch of violets from the grass!
Soft Graded on a sunny slope,
Watched by twin angels, Faith and Hope,
Ny pretty baby sleeping lies;
And as it were her own sweet eyes
Smile up to greet me as | pass
The blue wild violets in the grass.
