fact that the dedication Is dated at

the author has committed IL TO paper.

The Suburban Electric Railway was
never so safe means OF travel as II IS
this morning. aad as II will be from
this time henceforth. 1t is too soon
TO enter upon a discussion Of methods
while men and women are buried In
sorrow: but the lesson is broad and
deep. In truth nothing approaching il
has occurred here since the almost
parallel case, on the Providence and
Worcester track, above Pawtucket In
1853. wherein seventeen men were killed,
by telescoped cars. 1t was then. as IT
now is. men were working under new
conditions. Those who. from the offices,
undertake to direct the actual running
OF trains were theoretical; while those
who undertook the actual running were
not practical. The conditions deserve.
and will now have, serious study, q
thing TO which they have not yet been
subjected. The problem is to give rapid
transit i'm compact cities consistent
with safety To human life. The men
who control these railways are only
men. like ourselves, not gods and they
must. like ourselves. submit themselves
10 human conditions. The News. in
o'her columns, will give you all the de-
tails Of the shocking affair. but IN these
columns. II has today only sympathetic
sorrow for the suffering. whether from
physical cause, or from bereavement:
and sorrow also for all those men who
are held. whether nationally or not. ac-
countable for the affair. Some other
day the conditions will be discussed.

This is a capital tale OF the French
Revolution. 1t produces In way TO
hold the interest OF the average reader
OF light fiction, the number OF episodes
OF historic record and familiarity
through sundry works relating 10 the
Terror" and OF famous pictures. The
atmosphere OF the period Is faithfully
and effectively developed and the
reader lives In the times and Is brought
into close touch with the historic per-
sonages as recreated by the author.
Tournay is the last of a line OF FAITH
ful servitors TO long estaDhsneu

the revolutionary forces and wins
coloners commission in the Republican
army. But as is credited to most OF
the fighting soldiers of the time, he Is

mob and falls himself under the ban
of the faction which is devoting the
guillotine to the execution of fellow re-
publicans In the "Terror's" last days.

of the time are familiarly introduced In
the course of the novel Tournay Is in
love with the daughter of the house.
which he has formerly served and
saves her from the vengeance of the
revolution which is directed against all
aristocrats. There are many sharply
contrasting characters portrayed, both
aristocrats and revolutionists. who
contribute to the development OF the
romance. Edme de Rochefort. the
heroine. is charming romantic figure
and all the principals are portrayed in
way calculated 70 make them remem-

written with great spirit and there are
a number of stirring pictures. IL is

THINKS THE PORT
SHOULD REMAIN OPEN
President Graves Speaks on
Bonding Matter.
FEAR OF LOSING TRADE
He Believes, Would Only Be In
viting Competition Over Another
Route.

The present agitation for the closing of
the port of Skagwav has come to the at
tention of President S. H. Graves. of the
White Pass x Yukon route, who arrived
Yesterday from the south, and after close
ana!yzaton OF the matter he st ties that he
believes ii would be more satisfactory to
not repeal the privilege of allowing Can
adams to ship goods through here. Not
only this. but Mr.. Graves maintains that
no power short of congress can repeal it.,
and that the privilege now extended to the
Canadians is the result of an act of con-
gress. He says further:
1.-THE privilege whereby Canada ships
goods through Skagwav to the British
Yukon field was granted by congress in
what was termed the Alaska Act, passed
in 1893. Canada gave the United States
the right to ship goods in bond through
the Canadian territory of the upper Yukon
to- American points on the lower Yukon.
The United States reclprocated by the
above mentioned act of congress, giving
Canada the right to bond goods through
American territory.
IL cannot see why Skagway merchants
now want the bonding privilege repe led.
Were it repealed they would not be gamers
at least for any length of time. 1t is said
SkagWav would get wholesale houses, but
1t must be remembered Seattle is right back
of her, and sure to reach for the trade.
sin fact, the goods going through this
port are not to such a great extent Can
adian. Many of them are of American
manufacture. As duties are computed on
the cost at the boundary, including the
freight, the duties at the border of the
northern states must be less than those at
this border, hence American goods are
ence to Skagwav.
Another matter Skagwavans should
consider Is the important fact that If they
port, they would only be inviting the Can
the Yukon. Such road would at least

does not want the business divided.
''lf this were Canadian port, of course
all the traffic would come this way, anc
another road to the Yukon would be out O
the question. This Is the natural route
and bv it should the traffic move to thu
north,
"Skagwavans are making, ! think,
great mistake, in opposing the bonding o
goods through the port to the Yukon"

MISS Kuth OgdeT who has been VISIT
Ing Mr.. and Mrs. Sehlbrede, left on the
Queen for her home in Oregon.
The Camera Club gave Miss Ogden a
surprise party before she left last night. 1t
had been decided to have the party take
place at the residence of Judge Sehlbrede.
and refreshments had been prepared for
that purpose, but the unexpected earlv arr
rival of the Queen frustrated the plan, so
Miss Ogden was induced TO start for the
ship early, and when arriving at Case &
Diapers photograph gallery, she was in
vlted in where she found the club assem-
bled in force. DR.. H III, on behalf of the
club, presented Miss Ogden with beauti-
fully enlarged picture of the first outing
party of the club attended by her. The
picture portravs luncheon on Burro creek.
Two other photographs were presented.
Miss Ogden responded happily, stating
that this had been one of the most pleasant
visits of her life and one that wi II be long
remembered.
The midsummer night fete, held in Fire
mems hall Wednesday evening, was one of
the most successful and fashionable mus
ical events of the season. The fact that
the hall was crowded spoke in itself the
interest that had been aroused. The audi
ence was happily entertained with pro-
gram of songs, recitations and instrumental
music, Otter which the floor was cleared
and those who cared trippe1 the time away
for an hour or two.
The German Verein will hold its picnic
in Shafer park today for the benefit of the

tons, carrying total OF ], ,242 guns and swivels-
This force captured 1876 vessels OF the privateers
there were 792. carrying more than 1900 guns
and swivels. These vessels captured or de-
stroyed about six hundred British vessels" The
twenty-three ships which our Government had
anoat during the War of 1912 captured 254 of
less than 517 American priyateers on the high
seas with nearly three thousand guns, and
they took 300 prizes. Commanders working
for the Government during the Revolution
took prizes to the value of something less
than $G,000,0OO, where the money value Of
privateers' victories amounted to fully
$1S000000 Government prizes in the War
of 1912 amounted to between $6000000 and
$7,O00,0O0. The takings Of the privateers rose
to $39. .OO0,O00. In the Revolutionary War we
took more prisoners land than on sea, but
in the War of 1912 the situation was reversed
Then there were 10000 prisoners taken on sea
as against 5000 taken land. Fortified by
these figures, Mr.. Maclay has difficulty in
maintaining his contention that the privateers
contributed enormously TO the success of Ameri-
can Independence.
Their services have never hitherto obtained
quite the need of glory that has been accorded
to our regular Navy. The favorite theme Of the
historical painter is some such combat as that
in which Decatur. on the United States
whipped the Macedonian in 1872. But books
