DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES.
More Persons Killed by These Than
by Railroad Accidents.

We have recently had an opportunity
to examine a batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due
to the falling of electric wires. These
clippings cover the months from MAY
to September, inclusive, but it is not TO
be supposed that we have found in them
reports of all OF nearly all the acct
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is "A
very serious one.
We find in the five months reports of
122 accidents due to falling trolley
wires. In II of these accidents - per-
sons were killed, and i'm 2s of them 81
persons were injured and in is of them
~ horses were killed During the same
five months we find reports of 40 ac-
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that per-
sons were killed i'm o accidents and ~
were injured i'm % accidents, and :
horses were killed.
The nature of the accidents is very
familiar; that is, broken live wire
falls into the street and a passer-by
steps on it or picks it up and gets
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find, during this period, total of 2l
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of NOR
tality, if it were kept up, 50 persons
would be killed In the year. In 1895
there We're 3S passengers killed i'm
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, so
far as we have been able to as
certain. 1t appears. therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater if complete sta
tistics. of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and per-
sistent efforts made by the public i'm va
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
by agitation in the press and by inves-
legations and recommendations on the
part of railroad commissions. but the
serious mortality due to live wire acct
dents does not appear to have attracted
much attention from the public. There
are simple and obvious means. which
we suppose are not very expensive, for
preventing accidents of this class: bat
until the public realizes the serious
ness of ihe situation and the practical
billy OF remedying it probably little
viii be done. We suggest tins subject
as an interesting one for the daily
newspapers.-Railroad Gazette.

A New Foe to American Trees.

Specimens of a strange caterpillar
discovered this spring on pear trees in
Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the gold
tall" or euproctis chrysorrhoea, hither-
to unknown as an inhabitant of this
country, although ii is found locally
in England, and is abundant in central
and southern Europe" When numer-
GUS, these caterpillars are very de-
structive, feeding on such trees and
plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw-
thorn, bramole, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornheam. At pres
ent the invaders in Massachusetts are
said to be confined to a limited area in
SOmerville and Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appearance a year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
and apple trees. How they got across
the ocean nobody apparently knows.
1t is suggested that 10y vigorous meas
ures they may be stamped out

SPANISH SPLEEN.
How Hatred OF Americans Is shown
In Madrid.

A most interesting article is written
by an American woman from Madrid,
which shows how America, or "los
Estados Unidos," and her people are re-
garded in that part of the world. While
the Spanish masses view the Cuban war
with disfavOr, yet their hatred of los
Yankees" is reported as indispensable.
en- the ground that the latter are the
occasion of that war and the cause of
its continuance, through their SYM
Pathy and direct and indirect aid. The
writer tells also of something which,
while n wonderful revelation of the
state of mind prevailing throughout
the Spanish portion of the Celtiberian
peninsula, is amusing because of the
pathological interest that is bound to
attach to it.
The Spaniards have taken to calling
their hogs Yankees" but they have
also added two other words which must
prove peculiarly dissonant to their
sonorous tongue. Two little incidents
bring this matter out. One of the
writer's neighbors is the owner of two
of the vilest, shabbiest ours that ever
parked, and they would have suffered
death long ago but for the very pc
culiar virtue that is lodged i'm their
names. He calls them Morgan" and
SHERMAN" and he finds relief i'm 50
calling and cursing them. Then, in a
village squabble between two urchins:
''IIe called me a Sherman" said one. in
a fearful rage. ''But he said / was a
Morgan" was the sullen retort of the
other This Cuban war is represented
as a terrible burden upon the common
people of Spain, but it is a war, never
theless, of the aristocracy, in which
they must succeed, for if they do not it
means also their own downfall and the
overthrow of the government, with
quite likely Spanish republic to take
its place.-N. y. Independent.

Training Husbands After Marriage.

1t really is asking too much of a
woman to expect her to bring up a hus-
band, and her children, too. She vainlv
imagines when she marries this piece
of perfection, with whom she is so
blindly in love, that he is already
trained, or rather, that he is the one
human being in the world who has been
perfect from infancy, and who never
needed training. She knows that
mothers have to put in 20 years of close
study and hard work before they can
turn out man or woman who won't
be social pest. She never dreams of
the curious fact that mothers always
train their daughters to make good
wives, yet never think of training a
boy to make a good husband.-Wom-

Signs of Educational and CONNER
cial Progress.
beneficial Results OF the Recent War
with Observation-Disclosures Flock
ing in and Trade on the
Increase.

Nearly every day brings some new
item showing the genuine awakening
of China and the profound influence on
the people of the lessons of the war with
Japan. If anyone five years ago had
predicted that in Shanghai, Canton and
Hong Kong schools for instruction in
the English language would be opened
and patronized literally he would have
been regarded as visionary. Yet in
Canton, within the last two months,
more than 20 schools for teaching Eng
fish have been established. A few of
these are under the control of native
Christian missionaries, but the greater
part have been started by Chinese who
are quick to see the general feeling
among rich and influential lterati Off
Gals and merchants that their sons
must acquire English if they are to
make any showing in the public service.
The attitude of the common people
tOw-rd foreigners in the large treaty
ports has also changed materially dur
ing the last few months. There is
marked absence of the insulting terms
which used to be muttered on all sides
when a foreigner Ventured into the ma
tive quarters, and no open insults or at
tacks have been reported for some time.
This is due largely to the warnings
from mandarins that rights of for
eigners must be respected and to the
swift and heavy punishment of all
offenders against this ed ct.
Another remarkable proof of the
growing influences of foreign customs
on the Chinese is the English inscrip-
ton on the new Chinese dollars coined
at the Pei-yang mint. 1t has been de-
signed for general circulation through
out the empire and not merely for the
treaty ports. 1t is we'll minted. and on
one side in English is the inscriptions
"Twenty-second Year of Kwang-shu
Pei-yang Arsenal" Within is a pic
ture Of the imperial dragon and The
pearl, and surrounding the whole is a
Chinese version of the English words.
On the other side are Chinese and
Manchu characters. To popuarizc
this coin among the people Of the in

pay salaries and expenses of all officials

Not a Candidate.

DEAR ARGUs:-As my name has
been mentioned as a probable
candidate for the Clerks Office,
please allow me space in your ex-
cellent columns to thank my
many friends throughout the
county for the interest manifested
in my behalf, and to assure them
I could not, under any circum-
stances, allow my name 20 be
presented to the county conven-
ton for any Office before the peo-
pie. If I were ever so anxious for
an Office, [ would never allow my
aspirations to injure the pros
poets of another. A brother now
occupies the responsible position
of county commissioner, and be-
ing in the minority, his lot must
be a hard one. If either is to be
recognized by the county conven-
ton. let it be him and not 1le.
Hoping every Democrat in the
county will first consider the well
fare of the party, and not his own
personal interest.
I am with great respect yours,

AS the time is close at hand
when the Democratic voters of
Wayne county will have to name
their men to fill the county oM~
ces for the next two years, we
naturally begin to look oyer the
entire county for the most suit
able men to fill these positions.
In our observation we find no
man whom We think would be
more acceptable for the neminas
ton for treasurer than Mr.. Atlas
T. Uzze1l. He has very credits
ably served the people Of his
county as treasurer for two
years, and has undergone the
hardships and expenses of two
very close and hard fought cam
paigns. We feel sure if the MONS
mating convention of Wayne
county would nominate Mr.. W.
zell, he would poll as stroLg a
vote as any man.
