Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-01-18

mouth of the tunnel, at SIS o'clock,
Fireman Wilkins, leaning out of the
cab of engiAs 20S, saw woman, ap-
parently fifty years old, standing on
the east tracks right ahead of the
train. She was bareheaded, and had
been busy picking up coal on the track,
and had been startled by the sudden
approach of strain, which was spin
ming along at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. Wilkins slapped Engineer
Helmke, who was at the brake, on the
back, and pointed to the woman.
''By Jove," he cried, "we're liable
to hit her."
At that instant the Hackensack mail
train, scooting along at a speed OF
thirty miles an hour, shot out of the
tunnel, and the woman Strengthened
up from her stopping position and
stepped over to the west track, along
which the mail train was speeding.
The woman didn't see the train until
she was on the track. She looked first
at one train and then at the other, and
stood stock still in her perilous posi-
ton.
Engineer Heimke and Fireman Will
kins saw at glance that the woman
was completely bewildered, and SO
frightened that she was utterly unable
to get out of danger.
"Slow up a little" cried Wilkins,
"and I'll jump for her. It's the only
thing to do now
The engineer reversed the wheels of
the express, and it glided by, just
grazing the woman, who stood tremh-
ling on the other track. Wilkins
spran2 from the cab just ahead of her
and landed on lot of broken stone
and was nearly thrown from his feet
ky the insecure footing. Engineer
Doremus OF the Hackensack train saw
tho big, -broad shouldered fireman
jump at the very instant he rounded
the cure. He yanked open the whistle
valve, and the engine let loose a shrill
scream of warming, while he put on
the mir brake and reversed the engire
as quick as lightning. Wilkins ran to
the woman, and lifting her bodily,
held her up in his arms as he stood IN
the narrow aud rough path between
the tracks. The mail train shot past
with the driving wheels grinding the
reverse way on the tracks. Its i'm.
petns WAS SO great that though all
brakes were on, it traversed a distance
twice the length of the train before it
slowed up and stopped.
The passengers on both trains, sta1.
tied by the whistles of the engines,
crowded to tie car wiudowsand watched
the Caring act with thrill of excite
ment. They praised the pluck of the
big fireman. The nerves of the res
cued woman were completely unstrung
by fright. Wilkins carried her across
the TRACKS and out of danger. Both
Engineer Doremus and Fireman
Schmal of the mail train said that
Wilkins had undoubtedly saved the
woman's life, us it would have been
impossible to stop the train in time to
avoit running her down. Fireman
Wilkins jumped aboard the cab OF his
engine without waiting to get the name
OF the woman.
"fho thing was to save her." he
said, nonchalantlv, SIT didn't matter
what her name was. Besides, she was
too frightened to talk"

Is This Result desirable,

Should this country alone attempt
free coinage of silver at the ratio Of l6
to 1, it would thereby give notice that
we are ready to exchange for all corners
a quantity of gold which is valued at 81
in every civilized country for a quanti-
ty of silver which represents in the
markets of the world about 80 cents.
In a very short time all gold would
disappear. 1t would be boarded to await
a premium or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Only sill
yer would remain our circulating medi-
nm. We would be on a silver basis. Our
standard wvdld be a dollar worth little
more than 90 cents in every country but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust them
selves to this deprecated dollar an6
would fluctuate with its changing value
in international exchange.

Legal Equality.

The women are again moving in the
state Of Illinois in the interest of equal
ity before the law. God bless them and
God speed them in their righteous questl
The shame is that it is left for the women
to lead. Let the men inaugurate the
movement that will make for justice.
This cause has lost its newness. 1t has
had to pay full price for the crudities
and extravagances that gather around
every reform, but at the core the de-
mand is a righteous one, and it must be
heard, and ultimately it must triumph.
Let no one lose heart and let no one de-
lay any legitimate effort. Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah and Idaho have fully
enfranchised their women. Eastward
the star of (this) empire takes its way"

and dissatisfac Jon. Remove the high rate Of
interest, give them the same opportunity to
use their credit as men engaged in other busi-
ness, exchange the present mortgage on tha
farm for one with a reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank, and we will restore hap
piness and prosperity.
This question has been solved by the farmers
and landholders Of Europe, and the solution
of the problem did not consist In the issue by
the government of a mass Of debased currency
circulated among the people at a fictitious
value. The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and CO.
operation, by the founding Of associations
which in time became a power In the land, and
whose financial strength was measured by mil
lions Of ~undoubted securities which the public
was only too glad to invest in.

He Got out.

1t is related of the late General Pleas
onton that one night while he was in a
Washington saloon a man entered and
began to attack the character and cour-
age of the Confederate soldiers. Pleas
anton gave a start of surprise as he rec
ognized the man and asked if he remem-
bered him. The stranger said he did
not, whereupon the general said: II am
Alfred Pleasonton. / had you drummed
ont of my camp for cosyardice before
Antietam. Get out of this place, sir!''
The man hung his head and hurried
out.

of my banking friends, who say that the
whole thing depends upon the character
Of the people; that the people are specu.
lative and that nothing can be done for
them. My impression is that if some
thoughtful plan could be suggested it
would be quite possible to educate all
the agricultural people Of the country to
understand hat a man who is thrifty
and honest and sober and prompt can al
ways in some way get some money. It
Ia a very hard thing-we do not under
stand it at all here because we have so
much money moving among us-but if
every time we went TO a store we were
unable to buy anything except OIL credit,
If we had no money to pay down to en-
able us to reap the advantages of cash
, payments. we should begin to be frctful
/ do hope, sir, that the thoughtful and
good men Of the north and east will be
willing to take up this subject
1T was brought out at the Indian
apolis convention hat after the first sad,
serious mistake made necessary by the
exigencies of the civil war we had gone
ON with makeshifts ever since. One bit
of legislation necessary to bridge us over
a particular crisis has been met with
another. With every issue Of bonds and
of greenbacks, and with every other
form of currency, legislative enactments
have been made, and they contradict
and overlap each other, and the business
Of the treasury is exceedingly hard and
difficult.
IT came away from Indianapolis with
this very firm impression, and / have
only ventured to submit it because / feel
it so deeply that unless those of us in
the more favored parts of the country
understand the condition of our brothers
and our fellow citizens in the other
parts of the country, unless we wisely
instruct and educate them and bring
about some wise methods for their re-
lief, when the year 1900 comes we
shall be swamped with an infinitely
more powerful vote against us than dur
ing this last election.

Cooperative Banking For Farmers.

OO-oDtTdtiSc DhiAtnE "
The American Agriculturist Of Apcil
A again discusses editorially the ''entire
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers" "This can be DONE"
it says, "by slight notifications of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved so remarkably
successful in American cities. These in.
situations now hold over $500, 600, 900
Of deposits and are a thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
Land Credit association "a report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is q
modification of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia aud Germany has
achieved TIE same success among the
working farmers Of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
