John p Nichols of Brattleboro had a
remarkable escape from injury in a
railroad accident Monday near Long
Hill station, Connecticut, on the Berk-
shire division of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad. With
one exception the accident, which was
due to forgotten orders, was the worst
in the history of the division. three
employees being killed, three others
badly injured and IL cars reduced to
splinters by the collision of two freight
trains. The Hartford Times of Mon
day gave a column account of the ac-
cident, concluding as follows: "A sin
gular circumstance in connection with
the disaster was the escape of John p.
Nichols of Brattleboro. Vt, who was
in a stock car Immediately behind the
engine of the north bound train. Mr.
Nichols was in charge of a prize OK,

1.-THE Old Homestead"

Pastoral plays may come and pas
toral plays may go, but apparently
"The Old Homestead" is destined to
go on forever. At all events it does
not show any signs of falling off in
public favor; on the contrary the en-
thusiasm of its mvriads of admirers
seems to grow with what it feeds on
and they like it better and better with
every hearing. Sixteen years of SER
vice for star and play have not dullad
the interest or taken the edge off the
fine qualities of either. Among such
character drawings as Boucicault's

sons rip Van Wrinkle" Mr. Thomp-
sons idealization of the Yankee
farmer easily takes it's place, and like
them Joshua Whitcomb" is indissolu-
bly, linked with Denman Thompson.
"The Old Homestead" production in
Brattleboro Oct. 8 is promised to be
the same as in the metropolitan thea
tres. Besides Denman Thompson him
self the cast will be of a superior
quality. Incidentally the double quar-
tet will be heard as will also the grand
choir in the striking scene before
Grace church.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

The report of the joint commission appointed two years ago to survey the boundary line between the Unit ed States and British America, in Alaska, has been completed and filed with the State Department at Wash ington and with the Governor Gener- al at Ottawa. In it's report the com mission was unanimous, and it's find United States The commission, says the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record has erected substan- tial monuments at frequent intervals along the line described in the treaty with Russia. which they found to be clear in almost every case. There is nothing further to be done on this subject until both governments agree to permanent survey. for this was understood to be only temporary It is probable, however, that it's accu- raey will never be questioned, and it probably will stand indefinitely as neither government has good reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of it's representatives or the decision of the commission. The United States gets about nine-tenths of the disputed territory, and Canada about one tenth, but by the terms of the treaty Americans who live north of the line suffer no dimunition of the rights and privileges they now enjoy"
 The Chilkoot and White passes arc the actual or practical boundaries The Canadians claimed the whole of Lynn canal. The United States dis puted their title, and asserted that the line ran around the head of that body of water. The new surveys not only justified the contention of this government, but take the boundary twenty-five miles north of the canal, and above the canoe navigation.

Ensiish Women Play Solitaire.

Ladies Of the royal court of England, rom the queen down, are playing the Jld-rime game of patience" known IS solitaire in this country. Every spare minute is taken up with one or he other of the hundred varieties of the game. Patience" boards. enabling one to play the game on the knees, are covered with colored satin, embroidered with various suits of the cards. Pock- cts are arrangad for the pack, and 8 book of directions accompanies each board. The board enables the player 70 stop game at any point and return to it later without losing her place But it is doubtful if the fad will take n this country. It requires vivid imagination to conjure up such a spectacle as a roomful of American women playing solitaire.

The State Senate has passed a bill taxing nonresident hunters the sum of $500 week for hunting in Arkansas Senator Caldwell sought to be funny on this occasion by offer ing an amendment eXempting Ted dy' Roosevelt from the penalties of the bill. Of course, President Wilson ruled the amendment out of order. It is surprising sometimes what mon keys some of these Legislators try to make out of themselves by offering the most frivilous amendments to serious legislation If the average Legislator had some conception of his high calling and the duties and responsibilities of his office, the State would have much more sensible and seryiceabIe legislation.

A bill has been introduced in the Leislature to impose penalty of s1O0 npon any pharmacist or druggist who prescribes medicine or even sug- patent medicine The passage of this bin would be an outrage upon the people of the State, and especially the druggists and pharmacists.
