A TROUBLESOME AND COST " WRECK OCCURRED ON
 THE COTTON BELT
THIS SIDE OF CLARENDON.
Two Engines We're Badly Damaged and Ten or Fifteen Box Cars
 Demolished.

Early Saturday morning wreck occurred near Clarendon on the Cotton Belt road. It caused no deaths, but experien need men say that it could have. been very dis. astrous in it's results. Although no loss oflife resulted from the mls- hap, much inconvenience was caused the company and a large ex- pe1se was attached thereto.
 The freight was No. 15 It left Pine Bluff double-header No. 142 in charge of Engi neer Williamson, and the big com pound engine, No. l55, which was just recently turned out of lhe shops, in charge of Engineer Bishop.
 She bore an unusually heavy load of freight and her speed was natur- ally handicapped. While going down the slanting trestle a few miles this side of Clarendon she broke. The engineers in charge were ignorant of the breakage and continued their run. An instant later the rear part of the train fol- lowed the front part and collided with it just at the foot of the trestle. Both engineers Williamson and Bishop reversed the throttles and stopped the train.
 The compound engine was broken in several different places on it front and the tank of engine No. 145 was smashed considerably. Ten or fifteen cars were ditched and several smashed into mass of fsplinters.
 The wrecker was sent to the place and with her crew is being worked rapidly to clear the way. The southbound passenger, No. 3, was delayed about. seven hours and instead of reaching this city at } o'clock a. n., it arrived about 10:30 the same morning. Several other trains were delayed, but the accident will be remedied by the time this paper reaches you and the "Ola Reliable" Cotton Belt will be all right agaln.

EARNED BY DocroRs.


 The large personal estate, some $1,- S75.0O0, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes 1t interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos Of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1,- O00'000, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of Camberwell amassed over $500,000, but he owned one, if not two. lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personality to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- no behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there Is a large falling off in the amount, $1,034,465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton s, about s735, ,000, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quafnls, about $5S5, ,000.
 Sir William Bowman the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and | Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been speoul-- lation as to what incomes some o& | these successful doctors earned; S15,o0o or $2O,0o0 year is big income for 6 professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1,000 a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over s1,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro- fession, without doubt.

Value of Cheerfnlness.

Cheerfulness, says the Northwestern Christian Advocate, can become hab- it, and habits sometimes help us over hard places. A cheerful heart seeth cheerful things. A lady and gentle man were in lumber yard situated by a dirty. foul-smelling river. The lady said: How good the pine boards smell!" Pine boards!' exclaimed the gentleman. Just smell this foul river!" No, thank you" the lady TO- piled, I prefer to smell the pine boards " And she was right. If she, or we can carry this principle through our entire living, We shall have the cheerful heart. the cheerful voice, and, cheerful face. There is in some houses an unconscious atmosphere of domestic and social ozone which brlghtens everybody. Wealth cannot give it. nor can poverty take it away. ay.-Ram's Horn.

FED TO ANIMALS.

Tn the corn districts of the United States the English sparrows have abandoned insects for gram.
 Though horses train best on hay and oats in many stables they are now be- ing fed hay, bran, vegetables and corn, mixed, steamed and then served after this cooking. Dogs have been induced to feed on vegetables in order that they may be milder tempered and the dog biscuits fed them have taken the place of table scraps.
 Animals that live on one single food are growing more scarce among the highly organized creatures. There is evidence that the swan once fed on aquatic grasses. Once when ice de- stroyed the grass growing at the bot tom of the lagoon at Abbotsburw the half-wild swans starved in hundreds because they would touch no other food. Nowadays they eat grain and bread.
 Instances of carnivorous animals turning to a vegetable diet are rare. One noted instance Is Scotch deer hound, which is so fond of peaches that it will stand on it's hind legs to reach them on the trees. In New hea- land a parrot took to sheep-killing and eating, and some pigs evinced prefer ence for diet of young lamb, while some Australian sheep became not only carnivorous but cannihaL

French Hatred for Germany Dying.
 The sentiment of vengeance against Germany for the invasion of 1870 is dying out In France, says the Wash ington Post. Three decades have elapsed since the war. A new gener- ation has sprung up in France since the so-ca1led Terrible Year." who know nothing of the latter except by hearsay, and who are, therefore, quite disposed to be friendly toward Ger many, especially when there is any advantage to be derived therefrom, either at home or abroad. During the years immediately following the war the statues-female figures-repre- senting Metz and Strasbourg, on the Place de la Concorde, at Paris, were decorated on every public holiday with flowers, crape and emblems of deep mourning, while the people deposited nosegays at their base To-day nobody pays any attention to them.

Tho Republicans of the North are grow
ing weary of the negro Republicans Of
the South and are beginning TO pro-
test against the power Of the Southern
contingent in tho national convention.
The New York Press thinks that the
time has come 10 put representation Ia
such conventions on a just and scientific
b~asis-state representation according to
the number Of Republican votes cast in
national elections instead Of according
to the population Of the State.
No one. It says. ever disputed the pro-
priety for this change. for cine Q%uaIren-
NAL spectacle of Texas and Georgia en-,
tering a Republican convention on equal
terms with Massachusetts and Iowa is
an argument that cannot be refuted."
The Press then goes on 20 say that
the great obstacle to the reform has been
the ambition Of candidates.
''To a Republican President desiring
nomination." it adds, cor to his admin
istration logatee. the most natural place
to turn FOR delegates was the South.
where federal office holders preserve that
semblance OF AN organization which is
more than a semblance once only in four
years-national convention week. When
tho party has been in opposition and
when candidates invariably abound. the
custom with every aspirant who takes
himself seriously enough 20 seek dele
gates outside his own state, Is to send
am agent into the South on a quest for
votes"
That is about as severe as a Republi-
can newspaper dare make it. but the
meaning is plain. The colored delegates
are expensive. and the fewer they are
the fewer the demands on the campaign
