could not make Solomon of Ounce,

wiser. There are many wise men
sound thinkers and judicious actors
who have never been inside college;
but they would be much wiser if they
had had that advantage,
Numbers of pesky little politicians
think they think, that they know in
fnitely more about government and
"practical life" geucrally than the most
distinguished presidents of the best
colleges in the country; and more than
any college graduate who fools his
time away with books and magazines
and other "literary truck" But the
world has come to know that the
{ thinking man is the wise man; that
questions of government are grasped
and handled with far more skill by
men of trained intellects that by pot
house politicians; and, speaking gene
rally, that the man who studies and
| thinks is more capable of expressing a
safe and sensible opinion on matters
of public interest than one whose
thinking never goes beyond the point
of studying how to catch the popular
breeze and utilizing popular prejudice
for the purpose of his own political
! advancement.

BABY FELL THREE STORIES
REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A TWO
YE4R-OLD BOY.
Tumbled from Third-story window
of MendeI s. Freedman's Store to tho
Sidewalk No Bones Were Broken but
Crowd Collected.

The young child of Mrs King of Is
Redfield street had terrible fall about
5:15 yesterday afternoon, and If 1t does
not die the child will doubtless be in
jured for life.
The baby is the two-year-old son OF
Mrs. King and is an only child The
mother and her baby went to do some
shopping in the store of Mendel &
Freedman and while the mother was
looking at some things in the upholstery
department on the third floor the baby
fell from the window to the sidewalk,
fully thirty feet below 1t was picked
up by a passer-by and brought to the
mother, who was nearly overcome by
the sight that met her gaze. The baby
was crying when picked up, and on an
examination of the little body 1T was
discovered that no bones were broken,
although the baby had no control of the
muscles of the neck His head wobbled
from one side to the other. and it mad
to be held up, as there seemed to be no
strength in that part of the body. The
baby was taken to cool place at the
rear of the store on the third floor,
where everything was done for 1t and
in the meantime DR.. Beilosa was sum-
moned.
DR. Vishno, who was near by at the
time of the accident, went into the store
and examined the child, and, like DR..
Bellosa, found that the neck was the
only injured part of the whole body "A
thorough examination was made or the
limbs and back of the unfortunate
child. but they allfseemed to be as solid
as ever.
The accident happened in peculiar
manner. The baby was playing with
some paper near the front window in
the upholstery department and he let
the paper fall out, and, like all paples'
he decided to go after it. About foot
and a half below the sill of the window
is the top of the easement OF the pay
window of the second floor Th1s ex-
| tends ont from the main building about
two feet. The piece of paper fell on
| this easement and the baby seeing l,
there straddled the window sill and let
himself drop to the place where the pa
per had fallen. The little tot picked ur
| the paper and started to walk toWarc
the edge of the easement. He kept or
walking and toppled over to the marc
sidewalk below and landed on his sl1oul
der and the side of his head. One side
of his head was black and blue, ant
his eve was slightly swollen A biz
crowd collected in and about the store
and many women in the crowd were
visibly affected by the crying of 'th'
little one and her mother
The mother and her baby were taker
to their home on Redfield street, anc
IN to a late hour last night the chile
| was alive.

THOUGHT 1T WAS An EARTHQ Jake
Collapse of nm Old Building Startled
Hamilton street Residents.

About 1:30 o'clock this morning the
residents living in the vicinity of Ham,
ilton and Humphrey streets were awak-'
ened and alarmed by a crash which
some thought was a tornado approach-
ing and which others diagnosed as an
earthquake. The residents rushed out
into the street In their night clothes.
and it was some time before they as
certained what was the cause of the
crash 1t seems that at 281 Hamilton
street was an old building in a very
delapidated condition, concerning which
many complaints had recently been
made by people living in that vicinity.
The complaints were made because the
people thought that there was danger
of the old building being set af1re and
endangering adjoining buildings or OF
it's collapsing and endangering life.
Finally the fire marshal ordered the
structure demolished, and the contract
for tearing 1t down was let. The work
of demolition was about half completed
yesterday afternoon, only the frame
work being left standing. 1t was this
framework which fell with crash this
morning and aroused the inhabitants Of
the neighborhood.

A MOTHERS INSANE DEED

AND THEN HERSELF.
A Third Child VIII Probably Recover
Scene of the Tragedy suburb of New
York-Long BroOdtnS Over the fros-
meet of Death Thought to Have Caused
the Woman's Insanity.

New York, Oct. 5.-Mrs. Lillian
Smith, of Inwood, suburb of New
York, in the borough Of Manhattan,
while insane to-day shot her two chill
dren, Mabel, aged three years, and An
drew, aged eight years. She then COM
,nitted suicide Another daughter,
Ethel aged twelve years, lies In Ford
ham hospital, at the point of death.
BEFORE shooting the children Mrs
Smith, with the cunning of maniac
tried to force them to drink cafpolc
acid. Long brooding over the prospect
of death is said to have been the cause
of the wonlans insanity
Mrs. Smith was the wife OF Walter M
Smith, who has been connected with
the grocery house of Austin, Nichols
& Co., for twenty-one years. Mrs.
Smith had been married for thirteen
years. OF late she had been In poor
health, and Mr. Smith rented the In
wood home for the benefit Of the coun-
try air.
Mrs. Smith drove her husband to the
station this morning and promised to
meet him on his return from the city
at night
The tragedy must have taken place
between 8 and 4 O'Clock this afternoon.
The little girl was killed first In the
front room on the second floor of the
house. The child had been given car
bolic acid which had burned her tongue
and lips. The mother then fired three
shots into the childs chest, About this
time Ethel, the eldest daughter, re-
turned from school She, too, tasted
the carbolic acid, and the mother fired
twice at her, but only one shot took ef-
feet few minutes later the little boy
returned from school, entering through
the kitchen door. The mother met him
and shot him, killing him instantly. He
fell and rolled under the kitchen table,
his school books falling in his blood.
Mrs. Smith then went into the hall
and shot herself in the right breast. The
bullet tore through her body, killing
her instantly. Ethel, the eldest child,

increase lin Wages This Action Grent-
iy Strengthens the Opinion That an
Agreement May Soon be Reached.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. b.-The BELIEF
prevalent here tonight that the an
thracite coal strike is approaching an
end was considerably strengthened TO-
day by the action of the individual op-
orators In following the lead of the big
coal-carrying and coal-mining railroads
by Offering a net increase of ten per
cent, in the wages Of their employees.
The first break among the individual
operators In this district was made TO-
day, when A. Pardee & Co., operating
the Cranberry and Crystal Ridge col
lieries, offered their employees a ten per
cent. net increase in wages and re-
duction in the price of powder Is to be
taken into account in the advancing or
the wages. That four more of the in
dividual mine owners will make the
same offer Is hardly doubted.
1t was learned to-day that before the
advance was made public by the Par
dee company several of the general su-
SC'%'
companies were invited to the Pardee
company's office in this city for the
purpose of giving their views on the
| proposed offer
These representatives did not say
what their companies would do, but 1T
was learned that the consensus OF opin-
ion was that if the mine owners wish
to keep their collieries In operation they
| would have to increase the wages OF
i their men None of the superintendents
at the meeting would say anything IN
regard to the report that the coal-car-
rying roads had made concessions TO the
| Individual operators in the matter OF
! freight rates. The representative or the
| Associated Press was told tonight by
a prominent mining official, who would
positively know If the railroads had
conceded anything, that as far as he
knew the railroads had not reduced the
rates to any individual coal company in
this region.
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers is much interested In the ad-
vance made by the Individual compa-
MES, but would say nothing for publi-
cation. There Is strong belief here
| that Mr.. Mitchell Is waiting Tor all the
coal companies In the anthracite region
to offer the tenpercent increase before
he will call Joint convention to con-
slider the proposition
Mr.. Mitchell would say nothing on
this particular subject. He had all
along advocated unity Of action, and II
is that that strengthens the opinion that
he will call the convention after all the
companies have made an offer, lie
continues to say that the strike cannot
ba settled without a convention and that
he is waiting on the operators.
In the meantime the men now on
strike. said to number 13S,000, are not
wavering under the -proffered increase
in wages In the Lackawanna and wy
oning districts not mine is WORKING
The conditions remain about the same
in the Iehgh Valley region, While IN
the SchuylI1ill district more men have
laid down their tools and quit.

championship route yesterday with an
advantage of one stroke over Cham,

congratulate him on his fine showing,
as well as those who made haste to as
sure Taylor that he had played mag

by illness. The spectators were unde-
cided whether they admired Taylor's
temperament more than Vardon's ma
