SMALL GIRL AvERTS WRECK.
Runs Down the Track and with
Jacket Warns Engineer Of
Horse ON the Track.

A little blue-eyed heroine of eight
years in the person of Clara Schlosser
is receiving homage from scores Of
thankful travellers and the members Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
crew Of passenger train No. 4. BY her
presence Of mind and bravery she
averted a wreck that must have been
disastrous but for her act.
The railway through Greenville. To-,
makes sharp turn near the Schlosser
home and the little girl knows as we'll
as the trainmen when the train should
arrive. A large dray horse in crossing
the track became fastened in the cul-
vert just before the train was due.
without thought of danger to herself
the little girl threw off her red jacket
and ran down the track till she met the
passenger train. Wildly waving the red
Jacket as she ran she warned the en-.
gineer, who managed TO stop the train
within few feet of the child. When IL
was all over the passengers had cheered
her and cried over her and showered
her with silver and some gold coins
She told the engineer that she did not
think about the people on the train
She was thinking only Of the danger
the "poor horsie" was in.

THE NEW PRINCE OF WALES.
His Attempt at Oratory in His Guild
Hall Speech Calls Forth Favor
able Comment.

The evolution of the prince OF
Wales from sailor into an orator
causes more comment and satisfac'
tion than any event of the week. His
Guild Hall speech was perfectly free
from that platitudinous element
usually noticeable in royal utterances
in England. His declaration that the
old country must wake up If it want
ed to hold its own almost took his
hearers byeath away, but it has pro.
duced in all sections Of the press
praise quite untainted by servility.
1t is probable that the prince was
not entirely responsible for the con-
struction of the speech, as he used
copious notes. Yet his delivery, earn
estness and willingness to commit
himself to such sentiments have
raised him higher in the estimation
of the people than any previous ac'
tion. Indeed, several of the papers
declared that the elocution Of Lord
Salisbury, Lord Rosebery and Mr.
Chamberlain fell quite fiat after the
prince of Wales effort. "Unquestion
ably the best speech delivered at the
breakfast" is the Spectators com
ment.
"He used his opportunity by say
ing things of distinct political i'm
port. constitutional propriety being
none the less punctilously saved"

Men students of the senior class at
Northwestern university at Evanston
who are engaged to be married met the
other day and formed secret organi-
zation for the encouragement of mat
rimony. This alliance with Dan Cupid
was made to counteract any move that
may be contemplated by the anti-mar-

Among the prospective benedicts
who are charter members are Hasse o.

plighted their troth with fair "co-eds''
and many weddings are looked for dur

1t was reported at the meeting that
there were many "cases" at the uni
versity where only little encourage.
ment was needed to bring the couples
to an understanding and so add to the
membership Of the prospective bene.

to various members and pressure will
be brought to bear to aid Cupid. This

HAS MOTHER-IN-LAW STORY.
Rockefeller. Jr.. Thus Early IN HIS
Married Career. Gets on n Pop
uInr witticism.

John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.. was the
principal speaker at the annual dim
ner of the Young Mems Bible Glass.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who has only been
married n few weeks. made so bold as
10 talk of women and mothers-in-law
lie was the last speaker but he was
loudly applauded. Mr.. Rockefeller
told this mother-in-law story:
"A young man and his wife had
lived for years, and not always pleas
antly, with the wife's mother. Al
last the old lady died--or, at least
they thought she had died, The pail
bearers carried her coffin down the
front steps and one of them slipped
The coffin struck a tree, the lid came
,ff, and then it was found that the
mother-in-law had not died at all, but
was only in trance.
"Well. she lived for some years aft
er that, and then she died again-this
time permanently. And as the pail
bearers approached that same tree al
the foot of the steps the young mar
stopped weeping, turned to the mar
who had slipped, and whispered: BE
careful, Sam; don't slip this time. "

REPORT ON GUN TESTS.
Army Board uigi,Iy Cormends the
J2-Iucb Hine mt Cats Gath
mann Gun Failure.

Secretary Root transmitted to con-
gress the other day the report Of
the board of officers which conducted
the test of the Gathmann gun at
Sandy Hook. The report says: "The
method used in the 12-inch army
service rifle contemplated, first, the
penetration of the armor, and then
the detonation of a high explosive
contained in a tbick-wallcd projcctile.
Thus there is included the destruc-
tion of the armur, of the structure
of the vessel, of the armament. of the
interior mechanism, and of the per-
sonnel.
after careful consideration of
the effect of the various impacts on
the respective targets of the Gath
mann gun and the l2-inch army serv'
ice rife the board finds that none of
the impacts from the Gathmann gun
would have endangered a modern bat.
| tleship that the Gathmann system is
not effective as means of attacking
armored vessels; and that any one of
the shots from the 12-inch army serv'
ice rifle would have wrought serious
injury to modern battleship as re-
CARDS it's buoyancy, the interior
mechanism, the armament and per
sonnel.
at may be said in this connection
that the destructive effect of the 12
inch army service rife surpasses any
thing hitherto obtained from any CUR
so far as this board has knowledge
or as the records show. Both In in
itial and sustained velocities the ~
inch army service rifle of both mod
els is so far superior as to give al
other ranges a much greater probabil
ity of hitting, and the remaining
velocity at four miles is sufficient t
perforate the heaviest armor now be
ing put on battleships.
"There is nothing in the Gathmanl
system to recommend its adoption II
the public service of the Unite'
States or to warrant further expert
ments."

CALLS WOMEN DOoRMATS.
CInrR Hoffman Declares That Women

"Women are and have been but door

Clara Hoffman, president of the Mis-
souri, division of the w. c. T. u, in an
address before the executive commit

Continuing she said:
"The time is here when woman must
rise in her might and demand some rec
ognition for her work. II the church
work were left to the men every church
in the country would be run in the
ground. In sole charge Of municipal
governments, the mark of their work
is signal failure in almost every in
stance"
Cheers greeted the speakers re-
marks and every delegate rose to con-
gratulate her. A reference to "the
hide-bound views of the members of
the mems monopoly" was the occasion
| for more cheers.
DR.. Frances Dickinson indorsed the
views expressed, and said that the

HISTORIC BATTLE ABBEY.
London Daily Express Says w. w.
AHtOr HIS Purchased This An.
Client and Noted Spot.

1t is not every day that piece of
British history is knocked down to the
highest bidder, but the sale of Battle
Abbey the other day transferred the
ownership of ground, which, from its
association with the battle of Hastings,
is inseparably bound up with the story
Of the British nation.
Upon this spot Harold made his stand
against the conquering Norman. 1t
was four years after the battle that
William the Conqueror gave orders to
build upon this very spot an abbey
to commemorate his victory. 1t was
this ancient structure, with modern
wing, together with the 5000 acres of
land surrounding 1t, that was sold the
other day for 100000.
| All efforts to ascertain the name of
the purchaser have thus far been rem
| dered futile, the auctioneers refusing
to give the information. There are
rumors that Lord Rosebery has pur.
chased the property, others say that
it was bought by public-spirited mil.
lionaire who intends to present it to
the nation. The London Daily Express
learns that William Waldorf Astor Is
