No doubt the Sultan has made as

other members of the Red Cross So
ciety as individuals In the present
heated condition of Moslem fanaticism
he might find it dangerous to give of
fetal recognition to a Christian So
ciety established on an international

is true. but both are essentially more
civilized than Turkey.

Saved by a Mountain Girl.

So many railroad trains are saved in
stories-in all sorts Of improbable ways
and by all sorts of improbable people
that it becomes almost a wonder that
any are ever wrecked. One of the latest
and most thrilling of such escapes from
wholesale destruction is narrated by "a
New York travelling man." as he is re-
ported by the Washington Star:
1t was on mountain road in Tennes-
see. The train was mixed one-that
is. there were two passenger cars, a
baggage car, and in the rear fiat car
loaded with ties
We were coming down long grade
of ten miles, at the rate of perhaps
twenty miles an hour, when | happened
to look back just in time to see coal
train coming after us. It had been upon
a siding" and by some accident had
started with no one on board. Indeed
when | caught sight of it. a man was
in furious pursuit. but was being fast
left behind.
/ made q rush for our conductor. but
he had already taken the alarm and or
1ered the engineer to put on all steam
Do all the engineer could, however,
the coal train gained upon us every mo-
ment. and it soon became apparent
that our only salvation lay in the pos
sibility that the wild train would jump
the track before overtaking us. That
was very slight chance, for our train
was shaking SO that it was all we could
DO to keep our places.
Some of the men were with the great
est difficulty restrained from jumping
off, but the only woman on board

TWO-HEADED SNAKES.

Interesting Kind of Reptiles Found in
the Waters of Brazil.
In certain parts of Brazil two-headed
snakes are found and fishermen often
catch them, for such reptiles live in
water. The body Of the two-headed
snake is striped, giving it somewhat the
appearance of a common garter snake.
1t is usually from one to three feet long.
The two heads are almost precisely
alike in form, color and general ap-
pearance; one of them is very slightly

THE RAILWAY VOTE.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The Railway Age,
in its issue Of this week will publish a de-
tailed analysis of the railway vote in the
recent election. The paper will say: In
all there were 600 railroad mems sound
money clubs organized during the cam
paign.
Two hundred OF these with a member
ship of 100000 were distributed among
twenty-three large cities through the var
ious wards and precincts of which the
members were so scattered that it would
be impossible to arrive at any close esti-
mate of the weight Of the influence of
the railwaymen. From $50 other club
points the returns are given in detail in
comparison with the vote of 1892 The
100 club points in 1892 gave a Demo
cratic majority Of 9,956. This was con-
verted in 1896 into a Republican major
ity of 1924 There was an increase
in the total vote Of 1862; an increase
in the Republican vote cast of 147, 500
and an actual Democratic falling off
from the vote Of four years ago Of H.
1854 The Republican, net gain ut 1874
points was 160.981 Deducting the Dem
ocratic gain at the remainder Of the 1850
club points the net Republican gain was
