TERRlBLE DEATH.
\ Flying Special Brushes Into a
 Street Car.
IAlhnnnernne Democrat 1


 Cohoes. N. Y., Sept. 5.-An appalling disaster occurred in shis city tonight. Shortly before o'clock trolley car of the Troy City Railway company was struck by special tram of the Della ware & Hudson at the crossing at the west end of the Hudson rIver bridge which connects the city with Lansing burg and its load of human freight hurled into the air. Eighteen of the 5 passengers are dead and at least 10 more will die. The car was crowded with passengers returning from labor day picnic at Rensselaer, Park. The motor car was struck directly in the center ty The engine uf the express train. The accident came without the silgh t. est warning. The mOtOrman evidently saw the train approaching as he reached the track and opened his controller, but in vain. With crash that was heard for blocks the engine struck into the lighter vehicle. The motor car parted. in two and both sections hurled into the air in spIinters. The maj0rit of the passengers on the car were young peo- pie. including many women. Many of the corpses were so badly mutilated as to be unrecognizable. The engineer stated that he did not See the car until he was upon 1t. The train was some minutes late and was travellng at high speed trying to make up. He thinks ! the motorman when he saw the train upon him tried to get beyond the danger line. The grade of the crossing and speed at which the car was going made It impossible for him to stop before he reached the tracks. As it was the front end of the car caught the crash and he was killed outright.
 The following bodies were identified up to oIork: Archie Campeau, James Temple, Edward Barney. Mrs. John Cra' ven, Miss Kittie Craven, Joseph Sence Nellie owett, 15 years old, Mrs. Eliza McElroy, Mrs. John w. Sutcliffe.

After the government of the
United State realizes fully that the
Curtis billi is failure. and does
not in any considerable measure
fill the requirements Of the state Of
affairs existing here, wonder who
will be to blame for the blunder.
Somebody has erred, and some
body ought to be responsible for
the chaotic conditions that exist on
every side. There is only one
reasonable explanation to offer
and that is that very incompetent
and inefficient men have had the
directing Of legislation touching
this country: Curtis of Kansas
and those Of the house and senate
of the congress Of the United
States who stood with him in
foistipg upon the country the Cur
,tis bill, should now stand aside
and let some one else have
chance at the solution Of Indian
Territory problems.

EDUCATED FEET.
Use of Their Pedal Ex-
tremities.

The French ethnologist, Prof. +.
Regnault, has made special studies in
the far east in regard to the ability
of the Hindoos to make use of their
feet as auxiliaries of their hands.
This ability is particularly noticeable
when one watches Hindoo tradesmen
at their work. The carpenter employs
his feet as wise and as gauge; the
shoemaker holds the shoe between his
feetg leaving both his hands free to
work upon it; the Hindoo butcher
holds knife between the big and the
second toe and cuts his meat by draw
ing 1t across the knife and pressing
1t down with both hands. The help
Of the feet is most valuable in weav-
ing, and it is wonderful thing to us
to see a Hindoo artisan use both his
hands and his feet in handling his
loom. Regnault also observed child
climbing a tree and grasping the
branches Of the tree between the two
first toes of either foot whenever
hold could thus he secured.
This collaboration of the feet with
the hands, it would seem, is the re-
suit Of several changes in the physi-
cal development which the Hindoo
race has undergone in the course OF
time through outward agencieS

VERY MUCH MIXED SOCIETY.

GentIemnnly Burglar a welcome
Visitor in English Society.
There has been some complaint in
Gristocratic circles in England that in
great country houses there is now
found much mixed society.
This has, however, always been the
case. A well-known actor passed three
days at an historical mansion without
knowing either host or hostess; he
knew that the marquis and his wife did
not speak to one anoth, r, and that each
would think he was the guest of the
other.
All records of the kind have been
surpassed by what has recently taken
place in France. A fascinating person
has been recently making a round Of
visits at certain chateaux. He was
"well known in society,"" which means
that he was gladly received in it, though
nobody knew anything about him.
He lived, when not in town among
his friends, in very luxurious FASH
ion. But all that he seems to have pos
sessed of his own was set of scientific
instruments Of burglary. In his pos
session was also found portfolio with
plans of the interior arrangements OF
the houses at which he had been stop
ping.
One can imagine polished forger.
Fauntleroy was a most accomplished
person, and gave excellent dinners.
When he was under sentence of death
he was called on by one of his noble
friends, who said: "Since you are GO
ing to leave us, perhaps you will now
tell me where you get that green GU
racoa FROM" but polished burglar ID
quite novelty.
Conceive his thoughts while he is say
ing soft nothings to the lady he took
In to dinner. How he must have eyed
her jewelry, and wondered where she
kept It'll What nights he must have
passed 'fiitting from room to room,
habit which, If discovered, he would
doubtless have attributed to Sleep
wal1singl How very little must have
been known among his fine friends OF
this gentleman's relatives and ante
cedents."--James Payn, in Independ-

the very cradle of chlvalry, whose sons
were verltable Turveydrops of deport-

The politics of the state is one brand,

been practically eliminated nominal
ton on the Democratic ticket means
election, and the peculiar campaigning
that has become the custom in that STATE
has more than once provoked some very
ugly contentious. The candidates for
the various offices travel through the
state, engaging in Joint discussions In
which they set forth their Individual
merits and qualifications for the office to
which they aspire. AS sample of these
oratorlcal symposiums the following
scene between two Democratic candi-
