FOR SAVING OF LIFE.
British Law Enacted Requiring
Safety Railroad Appliances.
Thought to he More Drastic Than
That of the United states-RoPrd
of Trade to Enforce the
Measure.

Information has been received by the
interstate commerce commission that
on July 30 of the present year the Brit
ish act for the better prevention of ac
cdents on railways received the assent
of the queen and became law.
The board of trade, one of the depart
ments of the general government, is in
vested with extensive power, and is
charged with the carrying out of the
provisions of the safety appliance law.
More authority is given the board of
trade in this respect than the United
States statutes gives the interstate
commerce commission, and in many re-
spects the English law is considered
much more drastic than ours.
If, after reasonable time, the rail-
way companies of Great Britain fail to
obviate the dangers by use of safety
appliances the board will make rules
requiring the use of plants or appli-
ances as ii may consider best calculated
TO reduce the danger to persons em-
ployed, or the disuse of any plant or
appliances shown to involve danger.
Penalties are provided for noncompli-
ance with any rules prescribed by the
board. The ratio of lives lost to the
number of men employed in coupling
and uncoupling cars in England is not
less than one to three hundred. This
percentage. as is shown by the reports
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, is as great as existed in this coun-
try in 1893, where at present the ratio
hoo haan rAIipaI Ia IillaI
out Of 600 engaged in coupling and un-
coupling cars.
1t is believed that the action of the
United States government in the mat
ter Of safety appliances has been large
| ly instrumental in bringing about the
enactment of the British law.

SAVED BY THE X-RAY.
Soldier supposed to he Crippled for
Life Is Made Whole at San
Francisco.

Modern science has Just secured a
new triumph in the hospital at the
Preside, San Francisco, where a man
supposed to be crippled for life has
been made whole. Harvey o. Robe is
the son of Col. Robe, recently promot-
ed to command the Ninth United
States infantry, succeeding Col. Lis
cum, who was killed at Tientsin. The
young man went to Manila as assist
ant quartermaster in the regular
army, and last spring was struck by
Filipino bullet, which hit some hard
substance on the ground and caromed,
striking his cartridge belt and bury
ing the fragments of lead of two
other bullets, together with its own
bulk, deep in the sciatic cavity. To-
tally disabled for duty, young Robe
returned to San Francisco and went
under treatment at the general hos
pital, where vain efforts were made to
locate the foreign substance Finally
by the aid of the X-ray it was located,
and Chief Surgeon Gerard was en-
abled to send his instruments straight
to the spot and extract the numerous
fragments of lead, varying from large,
solid Jumps to tiny fragments. The
wounds have now healed perfectly
and Robe has been discharged.

was stiu standing in the same place
people began to talk about her. Aft
er that q rather close watch was kept
upon her. Every now and then some
one at window would announce
"She's still there" and up to 4:30
O'Clock in the afternoon she was not
seen to move from the spot where she
was standing in the morning. During
the day several persons stopped and
engaged her in conversation. One old
woman in particular stood talking
with her for half an hour Che an
swered every one reluctantly, but
never changed her position At 4:30
O'Clock Chicago Inter Ocean corre-
spondent spoke to her, telling her
that people had seen her waiting all
day and asked if he could be of any
service to her.
"Oh. no." she said, smilingly; "T'm
simply waiting for friend of mine
who works in big factory in Frank
fort street. Once before | waited for
him here and met him at noon"
Did he expect you?'
"Oh, no. He was just going to
lunch and saw me standing on the
corner. | live in Brooklyn, you
know she continued, ''and ! came
over to-day to look at the stores. At
first thought i might see him going
to work. Then l thought he might
come along at noon time, but he did

"Ahe you not hungry and tired?"
was asked.
NO, indeed" she answered. "I had
my lunch. and I've been so interested
watching the people that if l am tired
] haven't noticed it,"
At five o'clock she had disappeared.
No one could be found that had seen
her 60 away.

An ArhoreaI Curiosity.

Mr.. C. Darnold, who resides on up
per Eighth street, has in his yard
pear tree which is widely different
from ordinary trees of its genus. The
tree in question is fully matured, but
is considerably less than four feet in
height. 1t is several years old and
has born fruit before, but this year 1t
has only cne pear which weighs about
three-quar,ers of a pound and is stu
ated only IS inches from the ground.
The tree is attracting quite a good deal
of attention in that neighborhood on
account of its diminutive size and
singular crop of fruit.

Here is an insolent threat from the

19 with 13 men, and had accepted the
surrender of Spanish troops who were
hungry and wanted to be fed as cap
tives. Fancy the coppery warning that
the Philippine people might be dis
pleased. Aguinaldo was all the Phil
ippine people there was. There was
no political organization of the Fill
pinos. Aguinaldo was all the author
ity that existed for himself. In the
next paragraph of the same letter Ag-
uinaldo notifies Anderson Of the ne
cessity that, before disembarking you
should communicate in writing to this
government the places that are to be
occupied and also the object of the
occupation, that the people may be ad-
vised in due form and (thus) prevent
the commission of any transgression
against friendship"

been shipped to his Chinese boarding

lowed to follow his occupation of max
ing up governments, all offices, no citi-
zens, MURAT HALSTEAD.
