The started on the descent without
tremor. With light hearts they
were crossing an icy slope between
what is known as the head and neck
Of the so called Lion when suddenly
Miss Bell slipped, fell forward and
clutched DR.. Black.
The man lost his grip. The rope
frightened and dragged the men and
women above For an instant it seem
ed as though the whole party would
be hurled to the terrible abyss that
yawned black and threatening below
the neck of the Lion.
Then suddenly the rope snapped,
parted and TWO inanimate bodies we're
hurled like pebbles down, down from
ledge to ledge somewhere into the
vast depth below.
To dispense with a rope in noun
tain climbing is set down by connois-
seurs as the most reckless Of acts.
Dr. Moseley, an American, intrepid
as many OF his race, tried the expert
ment. When his body was finally
recovered his friends we're shocked
to find one of his boots left without

On August 3 Of this year an accident
Of ioolhardy bravado was recorded.
A party of Americans sharted to
climb the treacherous Gina dl Rosso.
a peak 1O,043 feet high in the Enga-
done. They announced themselves as
skilled mountaineers and headed by
Mr.. G. p Way Of Yonkers, refused
the assistance Of any guide.
Mr.. Way was an enthusiast and fond
of daring mountain climbing.
From the Maloia hotel in the Enga-
dine the party started out. The
dangerous peak lured them on step
by step. Mr. Way and his young son,
a boy Of IA years, urged the others on
and on, until finally the very summit
was within sight
without warning or cry of any sort
sudden jerk of the rope brought
the party tense and rigid to stand
stll. They clutched one another, Mr.
Way, their leader, had shipped on a
stone. The rope became tense. The
others bore back on IL. Suddenly II

er Of the little party fell hundreds Of
feet to his death.
Guides themselves are not Away
lnvulnerable.
On a certain occasion not long since
F. w. Hill, an Englishman the ONLY
survivor of an accident on Mon

IN his party. The rest were exper

among them was Fourier. He wal

penslock into a fssure and the mex
thing Hill knew Fourier came roll

Hill happened 10 be standing NIT

st. Louis Star; 1T IS today the general
belief that municipal ownership of all
public utilities should prevail The only
thing in the way seems to be the recov-
erfng of franchises that have already
been granted, and even that is not
dificult problem to solve when it is IN
derstood that cities are the arbiters of
their own affairs. It would not be hon
est to subject any corporation to hard
ship. but the fact should never be lost
sight Of. touching the grant Of streets,
that no city ever surrendered title to
the street itself. The street belonging to
the city. the only thing left to the rail-
way is the right Of way, its plant, con-
sisting Of track, power house and cars
its stock does not enter into the propo-
aition-that was and is speculative
the investor lose or gain is his lookout.
The only thing to be considered by the
city is the sacredness Of the franchise
itself If for stipulated term it should
be considered valid, If perpetual. then it
should be annulled. and the quicker the
better The solution to the whole ques-
ton is to grant no new franchises. and
when the old ones expire don't renew
them. 80 far as dispossessing the cor
porations In possession IS concerned. let
