Yesterday Governor Brown, Colonel II.
NJ. Brown ana Lieutenant Woolsey of
the 10th Infantry, U. d A, went down
to the state rifle range and the governor
qualified for the first class. becoming
eligible to shoot at 800 yards and also TO
The sun was pouring down on
the heads OF the devoted marksmen
and the result was that the
governor has suggested and will see that
his suggestion is carried out that q can
vas shelter be provided in the future.
The governor takes n wonderfully deep
interest In the state militia and believes
that the rifle range practice is one of the
best features OF the whole drill, which of
course 1t Is.
The disaster on the Consolidated this
morning emphasizes the oft repeated
though seldom Icomprehended assertion
that nthe tenths of the people killed in
railway fatalities are railway employees.
The fact Of the matter is there Is little op-
portunity for passengers to receive serious
injury except In case OF telescoping or
plunging down a high embankment. A
derailment at grade, even though train
is making fifty miles an hour, is seldom
disastrous to passengers. But TO the
train crew the dangers of travel assume
position is one of constant exposure.
They arc almost continually on. the move,
going from one Car to anotner, or stand
Ing on the platform. The engine crew is
OF necessity continually exposed. But the
passenger seated inside tue car Is practi.
cally exempt from all ordinary accidents.
The statement that the Pennsylvania
railroad carried one year l5.000,0 900 pas
sengers with the less of only one life
strongly substantiates the theory that a
train In io ha
thing on earth. During one year the
percentage OF travellers killed on Amer-
can railroads was one in 10000, 900. IL is
difficult, in view Of these facts, to con-
ceive the possibility of danger In rail-
road travel.
During the recent hot weather the
mall boy--and for that matter the big
boy and young nan--has been in his
glory at the swimming holes. One of
the most popular OF these is at the Ten
Mile river, just whore IL empties into the
Seekonk. A small lake is made here by
the dam, and In it the hoys have no end
of fun. They have rigged up diving
board aud some of the somersaults they
perform would astonish an acrobat.
Theirs is no danger Of the boys striking
bottom when diving, as there is fully
thirty five feet OF depth here. OF course
for boy or man who cannot swim, this
is not the best place in the world, but
for those who are fortunate enough to
possess this useful accomplishment there
Is fun by the ton. AT high tide tue BOYS
can take their choice, on the one SIDE is
twenty to forty feet depth OF salt water.
while on the other is an equal depth Of
fresh water.
