SENSE OF IT'S RESPONSIBILITY NOT KEE.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune:
Sir: II appears that the Long Island Rail-
road Company has for years been paying cas-
ualty insurance company to assume and pay all
claims from injured passengers that may grow
out Of accidents said road.
Does not this system tend to relax that careful
supervision and conduct OF the road demanded
by consideration for the lives and limbs of pas
sengers? Does 1t not encourage a parsimony In
wages to employees. and economy in 'repairs
which expose travellers to increased risk? These
latter. in short. to be relegated to the light
in which cars filed with cattle or sheep are re
garded and to be insured In like manner.
ought not the company to be compelled by law
and by public opinion stand alone I'm the breach
and to assume ali responsibility for damages SC
that greatest possible stimulus Of self-iateres
may be secured in the precautions against acci
dent? y. W. PHI NIB

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Please don't be hard on the poor officials

ings not to be thought of by unfeeling public?
They promise us u perfectly correct imitation OF
their last Saturday nights performance st an early
date They don't even decline to furnish longer
list OF dead and wounded at the exhibition which
Mr. REYNOLDS to think is quite likely TO
happen in the future. These little things are quite
unavoidable Mr. Reynolds tells MS and the Long
Island Railroad can't be responsible for the lives
Of people who are foolish enough to travel on their
roads II people persist in asking for investiga-
,iors and law and justice. can't you see, MT
Editor that Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Blood, not 10
speak Of the unhappy gentlemen In higher places

and able manner in which the dead and wounded
we're cared for is evident that we need not ask
that gold medals be sent from Congress by the
gross and I'm blank to be distributed by the road
officials after a secret session. Congress should at
once drop the silver question ana formulate laws
forcing all railroads to adopt the methods OF the
Long Island In cases Of similar nature. Now, per-

AS OLD Loo CHURCH-The How
ertor church, in Upper Mahanoy
township, a little log affair was built
October -, 1906, during Thomas
Jelerson's administration rs presi-
dent of the United States. The
church was owned Jointly by the
Lutheran and Reformed congrega-
tions. All these years it has stood
in its original shape and generation
after generation have heard the word
of God preached from its little pull
pit The congregations of this gen
Grafton have concluded to build Il
more modern structure in which to
worship, and wishing to build the
new one on the old site, the old log
church was razed to the ground last
month. When the corner stone was
uncovered there was found therein,
a bottle of port wine sealed with a
glass stopper, the contents of which
had evaporated but one gill being
iu the bottle, a half dollar of the
date of 1906 and penny dated 1901.
What a world of history has trans
pired since this church was built. 1t
was siv years before the war OF 1912
G~-,....., W. ,ng as
railroads, telegraphs, telephones
electric lights, electric cars, steam
plows and other modern machinery
were known to the people who
worshipped around its altar in those
days. What pity it is that it was
torn down 1t would have been q
fitting relic to have sent to the
Worlds Fair and could well have
been placed along side of the old
liberty bell rs historic companion,
but it Is gone, and one of the Oldest
structures of Northumberland coun-
ty is wiped out of existence. The
contents of the old corner stone will
be placed in that of the uew.-.S,0,.

SiIyer's Great Champion.

/ Senator William M. Stewart, of Neva-
da, has signifed his intention of being
present in Ogden during the session of
the trans Mississippi congress. Among
the notable personagcs who will be here
at that time none win receive warmer
welcome and none will be more desery-
ling OF bonor at the hands Of the Utah
people. AS champion of silysr and
Western interests generally, Senstor
Stewart stands pre-eminent With a
courage and tenacity born of honest
purpose to undo the great wrong perpe-
petrated upon the laboring and produc-
ing classes by the decentralization act Of
1873, the Senator has pursued the gold
bugs until public sentiment in more
than half the states in the Union has
undergone partial change in favq Of
the full use of silver as money, and still
he is hammering away at the same
thsme, with no apparent intention Of
giving up the fight until his hopes have
been fully realized.
1t is expected that Senator Stewart
will be prevailed upon to discourse upon
his fayorite theme-silver aud the mon-
sy Of the mssses-soms evening during
the session of the congress. If SO, we
bespeak for him an Intelligent audience
which will crowd the Grand opera house
to its fullest capacity. The people Of
Utah are more vitality interested in this
subject than in any other, and they are
sure to be most delightfully."- entertained
by the gentleman who is capable of
handling it in such a mastery and con-
yincing manner. Ogden Standard.

A Pigmy Horse Among the Opals.

| A curious find was made at the Hoodo
mine, about six feet under the surface,
on Saturday last, by Charley Pratt. It
was that of a horse about two feet high,
similar to the specimens found on
the John Day tract in Oregon. The
teeth are black, as fully formed as those
of full grown animal and the bones
agatised. On Saturday last only the
head was taken ont but party had re-
turned for the other part which they
have probably excavated by this time.
The head was broken in taking out but
was put together by an ingenious person
who was at 0palins and it is hoped and
believed that it can be gotten out en-
tire without further fracture. 1t needed
not this specimen to demonstrate that
breed of diminusivs horses once existed
in this country, for it was Prof Condron,
state geoIogist of Oregon, who made
known the fact ten years ago, and some
Yale students who have visited the John
Day tract every year for the past eight
or ten years and expended their time
and muscle in exhuming pigmy horses,
have proved by their success that there
is no fake in the matter. 1t is probable
more discoveries will soon be made in
the same line in the opal elds.-Idaho

The trial of Howard French now 60
ing on in Boise, for the killing of CON
vict Hatton, is bringing ont some testi-
nony rathe damaging to the case of the
defendant. That Hatton was very
bad man there is no doubt, but that is
no justification for the killing if that
was not done in self defense. Such oc-
currences are not likely to happen
while Jack Campbell is warden, if he is
permitted to choose his own deputies
and guards. The management of the
Idaho pen has not reflected any credit
upon the state for some years past.
