TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
CHILDREN KILLED AT DENVER.
A Wagon Load of Little People Ran into
by q Train-six Victims the Result-The
Horse Was Running Away.

Denver, May 31.-A terrible tragedy,
of which party of little children, out
for a pleasure ride, were the victims,
occurred last night. The buggy In
which they were riding was run into
by Rio Grande passenger train at
First avenue. They Were being given
the ride by Henry Marsau. brewery
workman. who had driven his family
to the house of friend, and then, af-
ter spending the afternoon, had, at
their request. filled his buggy with
eight little folks in order to give them
IL short ride before he took his family
home. While returning with his load,
the children made good deal of noise,
and the horse ran away from fright.
Marsau was unable to hold him, and
at the railroad crossing n train dashed
into the vehicle with fearful results.
The children We're frightfully man.

railroad company Is blamed for not
having gates or watchman at the
crossing. This Is the side OF one fac

Henry Mnrsau. who drove the vehicle
which was run down. admits that he
saw the train approaching the cross
Ing while he was yet more than n
block away. He says the laughing and
shouting Of the eight children under
his charge W frightened his horse that

ASKS EMPLOYEES TO ACT.
Railway Age Introduces New Method
of Relief from Lsgislation.

Hallway Age Introduces New Method
of Relief from Lsgislation.
That the employees Of the railways
suffer mcst and most directly by any
diminution in railway revenues Is
fact which the employees themselves
In the mass have been very slow to
understand, but 1t seems as II they
were awakening to the fact at last in
earnest. At intervals, during the last
two years, the employees of certain
states have banded together to make
their political influence felt in opposi-
ton to anti-railway legislation. In
Minnesota, in Iowa and in Kansas
among the western states. employers
clubs have done themselves and the
railways good service in the past.
Now, after the bitter experience OF the
last few years, the employers all over
the country are rising In protest
against the renewed bitterness of the
granger attacks. In several states the
railway men OF all classes are lighting
vigorously the various legislative raids
on railway revenues which are threat
ened. Best of all has been the con-
clusion reached at the union meeting
of the different railway labor orders
al Little Rock. Ark, when a resolution
was adopted calling on members OF all
orders to oppose legislation which
would further reduce railway earnings.
In Illinois. Kansas. Missouri. Ohio and
other states employees are protesting
with more or less unanimity against
the passage of 2-cent-a-mile passenger
rate laws and similar enactments. all
of which is very good.
There was a time when 1t was pos
sible for the public and for the rail-
way employees to be, or pretend to be.
ignorant of the real condition of the
railways. There was time when it
was possible to make the credulous
believe that the books OF railway COM
panies were kept in such way that
their true condition was not known.
and that all professions Of poverty on
their part were untrue and. made for
political effect only. That time has
passed. The condition of the railway
properties OF the countries Is, in its
general outlines at least. known to
anybody who cares to know 1t. And
the condition. II not desperate, Is at
least seriously critical for the ma
jority Of the companies.
There ought to be today not less
than a quarter of million Of men
more In the employ Of the railways
than there are. They ought to be there
not only for their own sakes. but sim
/ ply for the safety of the travelling pub
lie. The railways Of the country are
operated today with forces which are
far below the danger line:" and SO
long as the public and the legislatures
, maintain their present attitude. It is
doubtful II any possible increase in
business from return Of good
times" will enable the companies to
employ the proper number of men
and pay them decent wages.-Railway

PLEA For THE BIRDS.
Their Destruction Is Endsngerins the
Forests and Orchards.

Their Destruction IL Endangerang the
Forests and Orchards.
A plea for the birds is being widely
disseminated in the form of circular
which contains earnest words from
Mrs. Caroline B. Hoffman, local secre-
tary of the Massachusetts, Audubon So
ciety. Mrs. Hoffman tells the often
told story of the mother heron which
must be killed when brooding to obtain
the white aigrette which Ia her decora-
tion at that time, and of the cruelty of
sacrificing the mother bird and her lit
tie ones for the qualification Of femin-
inc vanity. The Florida heron, she
sa,-s, is annihilated. She bases her
plea in this circular more particularly
upon tie practical grounds of the great
injury to plants and forests BY crea-
lures SO useful in destroying in.A,cts.
She says: Already In the southern
lands of Europe are the forests perish
ing In frightful manner, and not less
are the orchards in danger, for against
the increase of injurious insects there
is no remedy when the little birds are
missing. And no land in the wide
world is safe against this horrid de-

enough that the Europeans compress
themselves with steel and whalebone;
they also demand for adornment our
beautiful and useful birds" She con-
cludes: Equally guilty of this barbar-
GUS custom is every purchaser Of these
birds. martyrs unto death. May these
words meet with the right reception;
may women at length reflect and ac-
knowledge that there is something bet
ter, nobler more to be desired, than
this foolish style, which Is bought with
the blood and life of creatures fostered
by the God of love. May American
women come to the front and be the
first to do away with this brutal prac-
tfce. Everywhere our orchards, our
fruit trees. are crying out to be deliv-
cred from insect pests. Competent wit
nesses testify that all over our country.
within generation. birds have dimin-
fshed In most rapid manner. and the
Injurious insects have made headway
In the same degree. Setting aside all
sentiment. the destruction OF forests,

cient to deter women from indulging in
this murderous practice"
