A RUNAWAY CAR.

Passengers on car No. 90, Petersburg
Luzerne, passed through an experience
about $50 o'clock on Saturday evening,
a repetition OF which they would not
care for.
The car was laden with people re-
turning from an excursion to Harvey's
lake and had been side tracked at
Ninth street to allow another car to
pass. After the car had passed the
conductor gave three bells" the signal
for the motorman to reverse the motor.
The mOtorman in doing so lost control
Of his car and it ran down the hill rap
idly.
The passengers seeing the motorman
had lost control of the car became ter
ribly excited and began jumping off the
car, thereby being precipitated to the
pavement with much force. BY the
time the car had reached the bottom
of the hill all the passengers had
jumped off except two young ladies,
Misses Louise Whelan and Mary Nc
Colligan. They decided to risk it, and
made no attempt to alight while the
car was in motion.
However, when the car reached the
railroad crossing both We're thrown
out. Miss Whelan was injured about
the shoulders and head. Miss McCol-
ligan is daughter of Patrolman John
McColligan and is slightly injured
about the back The clothes of both
ladies We're badly torn. Both young
ladies were removed to their homes.
An inbound freight train was COM
ing down the track as the car struck
the rails. 1t was brought to a stand
still within three feet of where lay the
unconscious form of Miss Whelan.

THE Mission of the Anglo-SaXon
Race" was the theme upon which the
Rev Mr.. O'BUyl pastor of the Ply
mouth church, spoke last evening to q
large congregation. Rev. Boyl said. in
part, as follows:
Every race has had a mission to
perform. If we read history we can see
between the lines that God has had
hand in the building of nations. The
Greeks, Hebrews and Romans. these
have each had a wonderful mission to
perform. Each in their turn has per-
formed the same and yet each has been
a failure.
The Greeks mission was an intel
lectual one producing a wonderfully
perfect language, in which the books
of the Bible were printed and sent to
the people around the Mediterranean
sea. Rome's mission was to prepare
the physical conditions for the coming
of Christ. The Hebrews mission was
the establishing the belief in one God.
Each nation accomplished it's mission
and yet each ended in a failure. The
reason for the failure was that each
had but one idea. In the person of
Christ all the nations were united.
THE Anglo Saxon race combines all
three of these missions. In philan-
thrOpy the AnglO-SaXOn church sur
passes that of the Continental church,
and is always looking out to help and
do some good. AS the Hebrew carried
Montheism around the Mediterranean.
50 the Anglo Saxon will carry pure re-
ligion around the world. As the Greek
carried his language around the Medi-
terrancan, so the Anglo Saxon will
carry his language around the world.
Some have already said that it will
only be a little while before the Ian
guage of the Anglo-Saxon will be the
language of the world.
The Anglo-SaXon is the greatest
race in history There are no more
worlds to conquer. What. then, is its
mission? The Anglo Saxon has been in
training for years for one purpose, to
mould the opinion of the world. / be-
lieve in an Anglo Saxon alliance and
believe it is the tttest race to survive.
''People speaking of wars to come,
think the next war will be a religious
one. Not so, it will be war of races.
The Anglo-SaXon race will conquer,
not by arms or force, but by genius,
intellect and manhood. | believe in ex-
pansion and the United States must
meet her duty in the far-away Philip
pines. | don't believe in saving Amer
lea for Americas sake but for the
worlds sake"

guests. Music for dancing was fur

Mrs. Perot; Newton Crane, who ap-
peared for W. II. Perot, and a repor-
ter of the Associated Press. MI Rose
Innes, addressing the court, said:
Il only received the affidavit in this
case at 10 O'Clock yesterday. Taking
into account the fact that it is re-
markably strong. tracing the career
Of my client since her marriage and
that it contains allegations of the worst
character. | must ask you to adjourn
the case to a convenient day, that we
may have an opportunity OF answer
ing it, If I read to your lQrdship par
agraph : you will see wherein lies the
strength of my application. 1t states
that whereas Letitia Perot has been
leading an immoral life since 1892, co.
habiting succossivey with three per-
sons, and during the last three years
has dwelt and cohabitcd with John
Neptune Blood, barrister, and his wife,
and, further. has been residing with
the same in company with the child
GLADYS since her return to England,
she is an unfit person to take charge
and control of the child" Continuing
Mr. Rose Innes said:
Nov, may | point out that the
is no John Neptune Blood, barrster.'
Mrs. Perot has been residing with
her sisters the whole time since she
came to England. We want to an
swer this affidavit i'm eXtenso."
Mr.. Crane then urged that there was
no necessity to argue the case now. A
writ, he added, may issue, and in that
case it may he argued.
The judge in giving judgment said:
Il shall order the child to remain in
custody Of her mother until Wednes-
day, on the undertaking of Mr.. Rose
Innes that the child is produced in
court"
Mr., ROse-Innes gave the undertake
ing, and the proceedings ended.
During the hearing William II. PerOt
was an interested spectator of the fight
for the possession of the child, occa-
sionally prompting counsel Neither
Mrs. Perot nor any of her friends were
present.
Mr. PerOts affidavit refers to Mrs.
IerOts dOmicilc at his house, after her
husband went to Demerara, and the
request of her SiSter-in-law that she re-
move, owing to the scandals she was
creating. 1t also deals with the alleged
extravaganza, financial difficulties and
Judgment summonses for debts. Among
the points raised the afhdavits ayers
that Mrs Perot has been a patient OF
a notorious doctor named Collins, now

Six great universities have offered to
confer their highest degrees upon Her
bert Spencer. and several governments
have rendered him decorations. but he
has consistently declined all such honors
He is now 20 years old, and his fame is
worldwide, but he is plain Herbert Spen-
Ger. Mr.. Spencer, according to a writer
in The Popular Science Monthly, has
been prompted year after year to decline
these various honors by the conviction
that, instead Of being, as commonly sup
posed, encouragements to literature and
science. they are discouraging.
He contends that they constitute a
system Of inverse handicnpping. In ply
steal competitions it is usual to give the
younger certain artificial advantage
when they are set against the elder. but
in these mental competitions between the
rising men and the men who have risen
the reverse practice is followed. The
men who have risen have an artificial
advantage. and the younger men, who of
necessity have much to struggle against.
have difficulties artifcially increased by
the absence Of titles which their COM
petitors possess.
