A RUNAWAY ON AGRADE.
An Engineer Tells the Story OF His
Runaway While Going Down the
Mountain Into Ash Fork. Ari-

There are very few better CONVEX

Yesterday he was sitting with a
crowd OF railroad men and when the
reporter approached they said that he
had story if he would tell it the
would prove very interesting for the
Link and Pin column. Mr.. Hammer
besitated for moment and then
proceeded:
SIT has been some time since 1t hap

there is fall of 2200 feet in that dis

going down that grade, but had to do
it if 1 wanted to hold my job.

morning preparatory to pulling out of

coal and ride in the engine to Ash
Fork. l told him there was no need of
a coal passer on the incline, but that l
would carry him. He asked if there
was place at Ash Fork where he
could eat and l told him that there was
q lunch counter there and he seemed
delighted.
swell, we pulled out and in about
au half an hour we reached Supai and
then came the awful fall of 2200 feet
into Ash Fork. L set my engine for
the task and looked around for the
Irishman. He was found asleep on
tie coal pile and the roar of the train
did not disturb him in the least. We
were about three miles down the incline
when l noticed that the speed of the en-
CINE was increasing at an Unusual
rate. 1 applied the air ana it would
not work and 1 knew that we were in
for it. 1 called for brakes and the
brakemen did all they could but the
speed of the train still increased. In
the next mile we had attained speed
of over q mile minute and the driv-
ing rods were invisible.
81 told the fireman to look out and
save himself if he could and then went
to the Irishman to warn him of the
danger which he was in. AS soon as
he opened his eyes he looked around
and said: We're goin' to beat hell,

trying to get his feet and finally land

SEXES SANTA FE TRAINS
Oklahoma Sheriff Ties Up Traffic to
Enforce Collection of Disputed
TAXaS FOL.

A Guthrie o. T., dispatch says: Two
freight trains and passenger train on
the A tchison. Topeka, & Santa Fe road
were stopped by Sheriff Newblock and
q armed force of deputies at Norman
late yesterday and chained to the track.
The engines were locked and chained,
and traffic is stopped.
All this property was levied on to
collect s., 900 taxes owed by the rail-
road company for 1898. The company
rendered the county treasurer all the
taxes less a mill levy for schools. which
was in dispute, and over which the
company now has q suit in court en-
joining collection.

A fast burst of speed was recently
made over the santa Fe by q
special train from Newton TO To-

Young women are admitted
to all the departments of Trini-
ty College on the same terms as
young men. This step was
taken because very many of
our Southern women are am
bilious for the highest training,
given to young men. This ann
bition is laudable and just, and
to meet this demand all the
classes of Trinity were opened
to them by action of the Truss
tees, June, 1897.
Trinity College has an endow.
ment of three hundred thousand
dollars, besides nearly two hum
dred thousand dollars in equip
ments. 1t is the best endowed
college in the South Atlantic
States, and therefore, puts more
invested capital at the disposal
of its students than other coll
leges in this section of the
United States.
While the! 3 is no course of
music in the college, vet the
Southern Conservatory of Music
is located near Trinity Park,
and furnishes to young women
studying at Trinity a rare OPP
portunity to perfect themselves
in this art.
/ The Mary Duke building is
designed as a boarding home
for young women II was built
and furnished at a cost of five
tn usand dollars, and is
equiv led with every modern
convenience. Rooms are fur
nished with everything except
bed covering and towels. Board,
including room, furniture,
baths, lights, heat, servants,
parlor and table will not cost
over fifteen dollars per month.
This building is located in
easy reach of class rooms, labor
atories and library.
Young women are under the
same system of government as
young men. There is no clois-
ter idea in the government, and
no restraints that endanger
health. A high womanly honor
is expected to govern the con-
duct of young women who en-
ter college.
College students demand out
door recreations, and for this
purpose have provided racing
track, tennis and ball grounds.
IL young women expect TO do
successful work in male col
leges, they must have equal
opportunities for recreation.
Nothing has done more TO i'm.
pede intellectual and physical
development among young
women at college than the re.
straints imposed upon them in
the ordinary regulations. II a
young woman lacks the strength

During this year twenty
young women have matrIculated
in the various classes Of the
college. They are meeting

work. They are happy and
enthusiastic students. II is to
be hoped that many of bur
young women will avail them.

the college at which young man

characters as well as individuals,

Trinity College is the only
male literary college in North
Carolina located in a city. Our
ancestors thought that it would
endanger the moral character Of
students if colleges were located
in towns or cities, but the facts
have long since refuted their ideas,
and almost all of the large col.
leges and universities are located
in towns and cities. The educa.
tional influences of such environ.
ments are necessary. Students
enjoy advantages in a city not to
be had elsewhere, and come in
contact with the questions that
are prominent in the minds oil
the nations. They enjoy the best
social and religious influences.
Any young mans education is
crippled who is denied these adj
vantages.
The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1899-01-19

the principles that will constitute
the elements of the future charac
ter.
The colleges should be posi-
lively Christian. That is, il
should have a positive faith il
Christ, and this faith should b.
the controlling influence of the
college. The Bible should b.
emphasized, as much Importance
should be given to Paul as tc
Plato.
1t should be a college free from
the fads of social vagaries and
designations. These not only cost
money, but endanger character
and dissipate all purposes to study
1t should be a college where
the student can have personal &C
cess to his professors. Mere pro.
fdssional relations cannot inspire
the noblest purposes. These are
born out of personal relations.
1t should be growing college.
Men and colleges sometimes get
grown and fossilize. Only grow.
ing professors can create energy in
their students. These are some
Of the items that should control
in such an important choice. The
monetary cost should always be
snbordinated to these higher ends.

itarism, a large standing army in the
United States and its dependencies, was
well illustrated by the figure of sol
der standing on the back of the sol
ding citizen.
The menace of the trusts to the en-
terprise of the young American busl-
ness man was pictured in equally force
full fashion. Instead of being independ-
ent the young business man with the
trusts in control of every branch OF
trade is forced to be simple trust
employe, content with what wage the
trust will pay. There is no longer any
independence in industrial or CONNER
cial life with the trusts dominant, for
they rule supreme. All must become
mere workies of these all ruling COM
binations.
There is no escape from the truth of
this picture. The issue is plainly
drawn between the American people
and the trusts. Either the people must
control the trusts or the trusts will
absolutely dominate and enslave the
people. Then we shall have truly a
Plutocracy of brutal Mark Hannas.

Gently taken BY this government against
the Philippines. and would heartily do SO
If my health would allow. From the be-
ginning, think. the President has fallen
into an error in assuming that the Philip
pines had given cause to our government
to commence war for the acquisition OF
far distant territory. There has not been
on the part of the islands a single act that
would justify war, and the only pretext for
war on our part is the opportunity to ac-
quire territory from feeble country in a
region far remote from ours. The United
States has from the close of the Revolution
gradually expanded its limits, and each
new territory, except Alaska. has been in
due time admitted as State in the Union.
If we engage in war with the Philippines
it will not be for any act of theirs, but a
mere pretense to rob a friendly power of
its possessions.
81 do not hesitate to say that an attack
upon a friendly power, such as the Philip
pines are, would be an act of oppression
without good reason or excuse, and 1t is
especially indefensible If made by the
United States. Our country has expanded
by honorable and peaceful negotiations
Its accession of territory has been by pur-
chase and not by war. 1t now holds in
union the greater and better part of a con-
tinent We ought to be content with this
and leave all far distant countries indie
pendent of our power, but made friendly to
US by negotiation. Very truly yours,
