Anecdote of mn English Judge

Lord Chief Justice Cockburn was cx-
tremely fond of going down to sea in
ships, and II was his custom to spend
from Saturday to Monday on board
his yacht says Law Notes. On one
occasion he invited one of the puisne
judges of the Queens bench to accom-
pany him on cruise. AZ the start the
sea was ms smooth as glass, but dur
Ing the night the wind freshened up
and caused the little craft to toss and
roll in manner which affected the
pulsne Judge most unplcasantly. Lord
Cockburn, hearing of his sickness,
went into the cabin, and, laying Il
soothing hand on his shoulder, said;
my dear c., can l do anything for
you?"
"Yes, your lordship," he replied, in
a pained voice, you Will greatly oblige

Chicago, May 19-Forty-two per-
sons are known to have lost their lives
and twcnty-eight others are reported
dead as the result of the tornadoes
which devastated portions of eastern
Iowa, western Illinois and northern
Wisconsin last night. Iowa heads the
ffst with nineteen fatalities, while
fourteen are reported from Illinois and
nine from Wisconsin.
The storm In Iowa started near Stan.
wood and swept through the north
eastern part of Cedar County, the
southeastern part Of Jones County. the
northern part of Jackson County.
Nineteen persons lost their lives and
more than twice as many were In
5ured. The property loss will proba-
bly, reach S5O0.0O0. In many places
not building of any kind was left
standing. Cattle, horses and hogs
were killed by the hundreds. In num-
erous instances farmers lost every
thing they possessed. The Iowa storm
crossed the Mississippi River into I'LL
nois near Savannah. Considerable
damage was done ON the Illinois side
before the storm spent It's force.

the Storm ended Its career by wrecking
the county nlmshouse and killing three
inmates. Three others were fatally

sons In the building when II went

less injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more
violent than any place. but fortunately

Of the northern counties, swept along

reports brought In by train crews from

that nineteen lumbermen were killed
near Elmhurst. but this report also

HEATED COAL RACKS.
A Gold Weather Idea for scho IL and rsh
lie / %. ltutious,

A Cold Weather Idea for seho 1. and rsb
lic i situtions.
An English firm that makes spe-
cialty of heating apparatus has had
great success with novel apparatus
which they have. Installed In several
schools. This is heated hat and coat
rack for public buildings and Is partic-
larly valuable for schools attended by
small children. The device is made
entirely of iron tubing, the horizontal
bars supporting the hat and coat pegs,
while the upright tubes are connected
with supply of hot air which is al
lowed to circulate through the tubing.
The advantage of this apparatus Is ap-
parent, as on wet days the clothes are
dried as they are hanging on the pegs,
and the heat from the tubes also
warns the cloakroom in which the
stand is placed. When the weather is
dry or there Is no necessity for the
heat, the supply can be cut Off US in
any other heater.

MIR. GLADSTONE DEAD.
HIs PASSING AWAY WAS PEACE
Full.
Whole English Nation Mourns His Death.
"A Great Public Funeral VIII Take
Place.

Hawarden, May 19.-Mr. Gladstone
died 3 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Gladstone had been unconscious
practically all day, though at times he
seemed to recognize for moment
some Of the watchers about him. Ger
tainly he did recognize his wife, who
was beside him all day except when
the physician prevailed upon her to
rest. She tenderly clasped her hus-
bands hand as she watched him.
Apparently he slept good deal. Oc-
casionally he uttered few words in
an incoherent, dreamy way-words
which those who were watching We're
unable to catch. Their only consola-
tion was that he was not suffering
pain. No narcotics We're admins
tered.
Though national funeral will prob
ably be accepted by the family, there
is little doubt that the remains of Mr..
Gladstone will be laid to rest in the
peaceful graveyard Mt Hawarden, ad-
Joining the church where he was mar
ried more than half century ago.
Every other topic in Great Britain
dropped out of sight before the pass
ing Of Mr.. Gladstone. In two places,
perhaps, was the tension most keen
and heartfelt-the House of Commons
and Hawarden.
Just before the House rose yester-
day telegram from Mr.. Herbert
Gladstone reached Lord Stanley an
nouncing that his father was sinking.
Already before his death the hush of
grief seemed to fall over the scene of
his trlumphs; and from the present
men turned to the past, recalling say
ings and doings.
Anticipating the inevitable, the mem
bers Of the government discussed the
appropriate procedure to be observed,
and resolved that no effort ON their
part should be wanting to mark a
suitable sense of their loss.
Disregarding recent precedents, II
was decided that the programme In
Parliament should be the same as that
adopted in the cases Of the Earl of
Chatham and of the younger Pitt,
namely, an address to her majesty,
praying for funeral at the public
charge and n monument erected in
Westminster Abbey.
Throughout the whole kingdom
every public gathering added its words
of grief to the volume of national
mourning clearly voiced In the tele-
gram from the Prince of Wales to Mr..
Henry Gladstone:
'My thoughts are with you, your
mother and your family at this trying
time You are experiencing. God grant
that your father does not suffer"

One of the great troubles that rail-
road companies have had to contend
with In the past with both the old
style and the new M. c. B. couplers
was the falling OF drawheads on the
tracks. resulting many times In dlsas-
trous wrecks. A year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent Just such occur
rences. and has since attached It to all
It's passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple. consisting merely Of a
right-angled steel hook, which is
placed Immediately beneath the COUP
Ter on the drawhead. with horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction OF the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist in jamming the draw-heads
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side, ana thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
is placed In such a position that 1t
cannot be jammed or broken of In the
coupling of cars
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory and
has not failed in a single instance.
