RAILROAD CHAPLAIN
At Eighty Years of Age Sets Brakes and
Saves u Train.

Rev. j. w. BruntOn, the venerable
chaplain of the Rio Grande railway,
now near eighty years of age. but as
active as Il youth of twenty. gave evil
dence of his alertneSs few days ago
when he was riding on a freight train
with Conductor Hart, says the DEM =
News.
The train broke in two and the
prompt action of the venerable clergy
man, who set the brakes, avcrted what
would have been disastrous wreck
and Il probable loss OF life.
Chaplain Brunton did not think of it
as an act Of any special moment until
he received letter Of thanks from Su-
perintcndent Burns.
Mr. Burns says to the chaplain: 1T
has come to my knowledge that you
were riding freight train in the sec
ond district few days ago. in charge
of Conductor Hart, when the same
broke in two and ran away, and that
on account Of your prompt action in
setting the brakes very disastrous
wreck was no doubt averted. wish
to assure you that we of the Denver n
Rio Grande highly appreciate such Il
service as you have rendered us and

sincere thanks for your bravery anu

Chaplain Brunton has the distinction
of being the only railway chaplain in
the world. He is an old-time railway
engineer, having stood on the footboard
over thirty years. He is Il ward of the
Denver & Rio Grande, and no doubt to
the end Of his days will be well cared
for by the corporation he has served SO
long.

NO USE FOR VICE.

Norris Gregory, secretary Of the
Friends Assoc iation for the Abolition
of State Regulated vive called on the
President the other day when MT
Roosevelt gave his opinions on
regulated vice In a manner worthy OF
note by our officials who have DEFEND
ed vice In this Territory.
In telling the Boston Twentieth Cen
tury CLUB of this call upon the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Gregor ysaid:
81 was very much pleased with the
interview. Mr.. Roosevelt not only ex.
pressed sympathy with our work. but
referred me to a number Of speeches
on the subject made by him when lie
was Governor Of New York, in all Of
which he had expressed him self strong.
". Throughout the interview | was
very much struck with the extraordi.
nary character of the man. There wert
about dozen Of us waiting In Mr.. Cor.
telyous office.
Mr.. Roosevelt had buttonholed one
man in a corner and I could hear him
thumr the palm of one hand with his
fist and say: We will have good
straight. clean. honest men in this ad.
ministration.' Then after while
heard him say again: You know, Id
rather have given q Republican the
place, but Id as soon put Democrat
in II he is a good man.
When | finally got a chance. Mr.
Roosevelt listened to what I said, and
on hearing me state that, unde- tht
existing legislation on the subject, II
vas the woman whc was meddled VIII
and the man loft alone, your President
again striking Chs hand with other
first, said, In the most energetic man
ner possible. 4 agree with you-it''
all wrong adding, It's mean and de
testable.'
Altogether" said Mr.. Gregory. "Mr
Roosevelt is one Of the most extra
ordinary men have ever seen, and ont
OF the most extraordinary rulers Of fl,'
present day."
Aside from his firm stand against o
randering to vice, the fact that Presi
dent Roosevelt is not a man Of expe
dieats carries lesson to the peopl
Of this Territory. He gives the pecpl
straightforward government. and ex
pets the same rom the mer In pun
lie of'ice for whom his administration
