Moreover. we are AL countrymen. The

town people into the country. Every
day sees the city and village bicyclist

remote places where he can find road.

It is easier to begin movement OF
organize a society in the city than in
the country, but the good roads organi.
cations which may begin in town may
be expected to spread everywhere. The
people who use the roads most and who
have the most to gain by their improve
ment may be expected to welcome
every movement which will do them
good. Thoughtful people must, on re.
Election, conclude that something is
wrong, since in all the advances made
in transportation methods there has
been little or no reform in road trans.
portation, which is at the beginning Of
all movement of commodities and of
persons.
Railway travel today is greatly i'm
proved over what it was quarter of a
century ago. Steamship transportation
has been made more luxurious and
cheaper. Yet the average country road
of today is no better, and in many places
worse, than it was in the days Of oLr
fathers. We have faster horses; we
have vastly more elegant and comfort
able carriages, but we are content to
work our horses and rack our vehicles
over the same sort of highway that
served for the old two wheeled cart.
Moreover, there is reason to believe
that the amount Of time and money
spent in keeping up the roads would, if
properly expended, produce better re-
suits than are now obtained. Railways
are built by engineers and experts &C.
cording to we'll understood systems.
Every improvement that can be devised
is applied to all the railways as soon as
it satisfies the test of experience. The
builders Of steamships do not adhere to
tho old methods day longer than they
are known to be the best, but in the
making Of the highway there is as yet
in this country very little attempt to
apply the latest and best methods OF to
utilize the skill Of experts
Road reform il one Of the needsof the
day. The mission has nothing sensa-
tional or thrilling about it, but it con.
tains the promise Of large saving in
horses, money and in the tissues Of
men and women. It promises cheaper
transportation, increased travel by road,
more life and stir in the country places
and new attraction to rural life-st

The organization Of good roads as
ISOLATION in any city is q movement to-
ward an important reformation. Tho
people who live beyond the city limits
have more interest in this matter than
the townspeople, but nearly all do more
or less driving or wheeling, while every
family is interested in the cheap trans-
portation of farm produce
The farmers have more to gain by
the Improvement Of highways than any
other large class Of people. Preachers,
DOCTORS mail drivers and travelling
agents are small classes who individual
~ have large concern in the state Of
the roads, but collectively do not suffer
privations at all comparable to that
which the farmers endure by reason of
bad roads, ..r'. s,
The produce which the farmer sends
to market is hauled to town or taken to
the railroad station over the country
highway. The goods he purchases for
his own use must be conveyed part of
the distance to his home over this route.
He drives his family to church, or to
town, or visits the neighbors over such
roads as are provided in his district. II
the road is bad one, he can only take
half load when he is carting produce
and can only travel at a slow pace when
he drives. His toll is increased when he
works; his pleasure diminished when
he takes his pleasure: his horses suffer;
his wagons and carriages have a short
er lifetime than If his district were pro-
vided with firm and smooth highway.
1t might be possible to compute the ag-
gregate loss to the country in time and
property through the bad condition'of
tho roads of the country. It would not
be easy to estimate the loss Of comfort
and pleasure or to appraise the conse.
quences Of loss of temper and Of health.
The townsman is interested in every,
thing that concerns the dweller in the
country. If the country suffers, the city
shares the trouble. When it is hard for
the farmer to get to market himself, or
to send his produce there, the effort is

 "Never in my life have been more hopeful than now. l hope in the march of common intelligence we will reach a point where we will be able to settle questions without appealing to the sword or bullet. The people are ripe for great change, All they lack is direction and leadership. Let this con- ference supply it. Let this conference set the pace. Announce to the world that it will temporarily adjourn for three weeks to renew preparations. Ask every man to pledge himself to be there"
 In conclusion MT Debs said: ''The significance of this movement portends new important developments along the line of battle. I look forward to the time when people will dethrone the power that has enslaved them. The movement is marching grandly for ward and plutocracy will soon under stand that slavery and despotism have no rights to place on American soil"

WINSTED RAILWAY WRECK,
Twenty Cars Damaged and Trainmen
 Have to Jump.

Winsted, Aug. 31.-The west-bound freight, No. 23, on the Philadelphia, Reading and New England road was wrecked near West Winsted early this evening, and twenty empty cars were badly damaged. Conductor Thomas Goggles, Engineer Thomas Toomey and Fireman John Kane, all of Hartford, narrowly escaped fatal injuries.
 The train, which was made up of thirty-three cars and two engines. left Hartford at 11:30 this morning and ar rived in Winsted at 2:25 D. m. While running lip the grade from East Win sted to West Winsted the train broke apart, and as the two sections started to meet each other they collided while rounding curve near the New Eng land Knitting company's factory. Nearly all of the cars in one seation were badly damaged, and the fender of one of the engines telescoped box car, and Engineer Toomey Fireman Kane and Conductor Goggles had to jump to save themselves.
 Trains are being sent through on a siding, and it is thought that it will he after midnight before the wrecker which arrived from Hartford will have the debris cleared up.

All the National Circuit Riders Compete
 at Worcester.
 Worcester, Mass, Aug. 91.-All of the national circuit riders were here to- day, participating in the bicycle races held in connection with the opening day of the Massachusetts Grange fair. There was six hours of solid racing. Interest centered in the professional events in which such men as Eddie Bald, Riser, the Butler boys and nearly all of the cracks were entered In ad- dition there were some amateur events, including one mile special match race between E. M. Blake of Keene, N. H., and John s. Johnson of this city, a rider of considerable reputation in this city, the former winning by three lenghs in 2:Os 2-5
 Eddie Bald of Bualo won the mile professional open, getting first in his trial heat from John S. Johnson and Tom Butler and winning the final. but only after a hard fight in the stretch with Major Taylor who finished sec- ond The colored rider led until 100 yards from home, when Bald came up on even terms and won out by a nar- TOW margin.
 In the fve-mile professional handicap the scratch men fared rather poorly. In the first heat those who started on or near the scratch after encircling the track a half dozen times saw they were hopelessly out of it and made no at tempt to finish, while some of the tow men in the second heat qualified, but failed to win places in the ina.

DR. ANDREWs, REsIGNATIoN.
Executive Committee of Brown May Act
 Upon It To-day.


 Providence, R. l., Aug. 31.-The meet ing of the advisory and executive com mittee of the corporation of Brown uni- versity was held this afternoon at the university. Routine business of very little public importance was transacted in preparation for the larger meeting of tomorrow.
 Among other things the letter of President Andrews resigning his posi- tion will be read and will be presented to the corporation. Ex-Judge Durfee of the supreme court, who was a mem Der of the committee appointed to con- fer with Dr. Andrews regarding the in- terests of the university, who was in town to-day to attend the meeting of the advisory and executive committee, stated that he did not know whether or not his committee would make a report to the corporation. They might do so, although one of the three mem bers is in Europe.
 When asked whether or not he thought Dr. Andrews resignation would be accepted, he replied that if 1t were true that Dr. Andrews was committed to the Cosmopolitan plans he did not think it probable that the corporation would care to have him at the head of two institutions at once. He would not, however, presume to foretell what the corporation would do.

MRS. JOHN DREW DEAD.
Was One of the Most Noted Actresses in
 This Country.


 New York, Aug. 31.-Mrs. John Drew, the aged actress, died this afternoon at the Bedan house at Larchmont. She had been suffering some time from a complication of kidney and heart troubles, the immediate cause of death being heart faiiare.
 She had been suffereing for several years, but not seriously until May or June last During the last few days it was apparent that the end was not far off Yesterday, however, Mr Drew, who had been stopping at the Bevin house at Larchmont, seemed much bet ter than for several days previous and hopes were entertained by her friends that the rally would continue for some days, although it was known to all that the respite was but temporary
 This morning she seemed in good spirits and chatted with those about her She had a long and pleasant talk with her grandson, Jack" Barrymore. When he left her bedside he said his grandmother appeared much better. Dr. c. w. Jackson, however, said her death was only a question of hours. The last person to talk to Mrs. Drew was Mrs John Bevin, wife of the pro- prietor of the hotel. Soon after she be- came unconscious. She lay in that con- dition until about seven minutes of three when she was taken with con- vulsions and this lasted until the end came at o'clock.
 At the bedside at the time of Mrs Drew's death were John Barrymore. her grandson; Mrs. c. J. Stewart and her two daughter; Mrs. and Dr. Jack son. As soon as death came telegrams were sent at once to many of the friends of the dead woman and to her son, John Drew, who this evening at Salt Lake City was to close his en- gagement and hurry to his mothers side. The body was embalmed and re- moved from the hotel to the vestry room of St. Johns M F. church, where it will rest until the arrival of John Drew

SECOND DAY OF LEUTGERT TRIAL. government Introduces Strong Evidence
 Against the Accused Husband.

Chicago, Aug. 31-Three witnesses were placed on the stand by the prose- cution in the Leutgert trial to-day, Probably the most important witness of the three was Bialk, now watchman at the Leutgert sausage factory. Bialk was trusted employe of the defendant for whom he worked several years. His testimony bore directly on the the movements of the defendant during the night of May i. He also re- lated how two barrels, which it was al- legged contained caustic potash, were stored on one of the upper floors of the factory and were shortly before May taken to the basement where the bar rels were emptied into the vat and dis solved by steam.
 The other witnesses were Charles P. Mefander a photograph who identi- fled several views of the Leutgert fac tory, and Mrs Tosch, the wife of sa- loon keeper. Mrs. Tosch was frequent ly in charge of her husbands saloon and had several conversations with Leutgert regarding the disappearance of his wife. She has been regarded as one of the states strongest witnesses, being one of the few who saw smoke issuing from the factory the night Mrs Leutgert disappeared. She swore that Leutgert urged her not to say anything about the smoke as it might get him in trouble. Witness detailed how Leutgert recited his domestic unhappiness and had told her of the contempt with which he had regarded his wife. He had she said, told her that his feelings against his wife were so bitter that he could crush her. Witness also told of how pale Leutgert was on May and on one occasion had told her that he felt like killing himself, and would do so if it were not for leaving his little children.
 Before the taking of testimony began to-day attorneys for the defence asked the court to compel the state to set forth by what means, according to the theory of the prosecution; the life of Mrs, Leutgert was taken before her body was placed in the vat. The indlct- ment contained twelve counts but did not state the manner of Mrs. Leutgert's death. The court decided that the state was not bound to specify the means of death. Watchman Bialk will resume the wit ness stand tomorrow.
