Trains Collide. .NsN
The Louisville express, west-bohnd, and
the st. Louis express, east-bound, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern col
lided about o'clock Monday night near
Sektan, Ohio. Two unknown men were
killed and nine injured, five of them fatal
ly. The trains met on curve. The west
bound train was going fifty and the east
bound thirty miles an hour. After the
engineers saw each other so great was
the speed of the trains, they did not have
time to whistle for breaks. The trains
came together with terrific force, the en-
gines rushing against each other and
rearing up, end to end, forming an acute
angle with their pilots toward the sky.
Two empty express cars on the St Louis
train crushed together and broke the
force of the shock. The express car, a
combination smoker and baggage car, and
two coaches on this train piled up in u
confused mass all badly shattered. The
five cars of the Louisville express were
heaped together beside the track. There
were several doctors on the wrecked
trains, and these. together with physicians
from Sekitan and Delhi. attended the in

GROVER NAMES FIVE.
PERSONNEL OF THE vENEzuE-
Lam COMMISSION.
Brewer and Alvey Head the Lat
Andrew ID. White, Frederic Il. Con-
aert, and Daniel c. Gilman Are the
Other Appointees.



Pyesidept Cleveland "wednesday night
snnounced the appointment of the vene-
suelan Boundary Commission as follows:
David j. Brewer, of Kansas, Justice Uni
ted States Supreme Court; Richard II.
Alvey, of Maryland, Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals of the District of Co
lumbia; Andrew ID. White, of New York;
Frederic II. Coudert, Of New York; Dam
lei G. Gilman, of Maryland.
All of the above named persons will ac-
cept the places to which they have been
appointed and are expected to assemble
in Washington. as soon as practicable,
with a view to their entering upon their
work. In Washington the commission
Is regarded as very satisfactory one,
whose opinions and conclusions will be re-
ceived by the American public with that
confidence which the standing of the
members of the commission in the public
eye inspires.
Politically speaking, the commission
consists of three Democrats and two Re-
publicans. Justice Brewer and Justice
Alvey are men of the highest judicial
standing, whose regulations as impartial
jurists are well known abroad, as well as
Mt home. Frederic II. Coudert, of New
York, is too well known as n leader at the
bar to require any extended sketch of his
scholarly attainments. Andrew ID. White
and Daniel G. Gilman stand among the
foremost of American scholars and educa-
tors, and Mr.. White has shown, in addi-
ton, unusual skill as a legislator, organ
izer and diplomat. Both will be useful
members of the commission, and their
names will do much to give its findings
dignity and weight in the eyes of Euro
pean nations.
The law authorizing the appointment
by the President of the Venezuelan COM
mission was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives on Dec. II. On Dec. 20 it
was adopted by the Senate without
amendment and without dissenting
voice. The text of the bill was as fol-
lows rtas
"A bill making an appropriation for the
expenses of commission to investigate
and report on the true divisional line be-
tween the Republic of Venezuela and
British Guiana.
''Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
Of America, in Congress assembled, that
the sum of 100000, or as much thereof
as may be necessary, be and the same is
hereby appropriated for the expenses of
a commission, to be appointed by the
President, to report on the true divisional
line between the Republic of Venezuela
and British Guiana"
The conclusions reached by the commits
sion will be reported to the President for
his information in connection with any
further representations and communica-
tions that may he made by this Govern
ment to Great Britain in connection with
the boundary line dispute between the
latter country and Venezuela.

You can get along on almost nothing
and look so sweet that your rich neigh
Dor will envy you, which of itself
should cut the critics down to few
among the wealthy folk. But even this
is but a faint expression of the posi-
bilities. To-day's five pictures portray
a varied lot of dresses, and thus aid in
giving an idea of how wide the safe
field is, but even they fail in telling the
whole story. You may really do as you
like. There are limitations, of course,
for Dame Fashion must maintain dis
cipline, but it's a habitually dissatis-
fed woman who cannot be suited.
In the pictures the more simple
dresses come first, the first two being
suggestive of tailor styles, till knowl-
edge of their materials and construc-
tion proves them to be otherwise. The
first of these was found in dark-green
cloth, its skirt trimmed with bias folds
that extended upward at the left side
after going all around near the hem.
