CHRISTIAN WOLF DIED

Authtuks
The accident 10 Christian Wolf, Of
West Wheeling, which was noted ex.
cluslvely In yesterdays 1ntelllgencer,
terminated fatally, he dying yesterday
morning at 3 o'clock. after amputatIon
had been performed on his leg, which
was frightfully crushed by Baltimore
& Ohio train few hours previous to the
operation. HIS accident had weakened
him considerably, and he had lost so
much blood that he was not IN condi-
ton TO rally.
The report that Mr.. Wolf had been
drinking was without foundation. He
had come over to the city from West
Wheeling with his sister. who went
away on Baltimore & Ohio train. The
unfortunate man was going to the river
bank, where his skin was tied, when he
was run down by the train.

May Attain Diplomatic Politeness and
Disregard Of Facts. -.zes.. e.,..,- -..'-
The western world has long since re-
pigned itself to the knowledge that
whatever other races may discover or
invent they but follow in the footsteps
of China. where gunpowder exploded
and the mariner's compass was in use
while the ancestors of peoples now civ
ilized-though not, of course, up to the
Chinese standard-were fighting with
clubs and navigating only along shore.
In music, too, the west is in compara-
tive infancy. We have emerged by slow
and painful steps from melody into har-
mony whereas the Chinese centuries
ago arrived at pure discord. In nothing
is China more obviously superior to.the
west than in the practice Of 2oliteness
and reverence for the forms of The same.
Europe has only reached the stage Of
holding manner to be more important
than matter-to the perception that q
lie decorously told Is superior to truth
expressed without finish. We see, for
example. the press Of England and the
continent startled and scandalized be-
cause the secretary of state of the youn-
gest of the great powers, in writing about
some beasts that swim in the sea and
the treatment of them by Great Britain,
took it for granted. like barbarian,
that fact is of higher moment. than q
phrase. The thing written about has
been quite forgotten while Europe's re-
fined attention is given to the secreta-
ry's defective literary style.
China cannot but bend a benevolent
and encouraging gaze upon pupil that
is doing SO we'll. Such advancement
along the road that leads away from the
savagery of truth worship to the civil
zation of form worship appeals irresist-
IDLY to the approving Mongolian mind.
Yet China must smile, with the kindly
indulgence Of age, at the totterine
though brave footsteps of the ambitious
ly initiative infant. Europe's profound
respect for politeness is deserving OF
gentle Chinese applause, but Europe
