If I should die tonight

And osculate my lips so dumb

I say, If l should die tonight
And lie In state, and garments

And you should stand beside my

And gently whisper In my ear
The information that
P. Knox had made a trust look
sick,
Straightway I'd rise, and mighty

Tear loose my white cravat.
If I should die tonight
And you should wander to my bed
And, after weeping, shake your

And murmur, "He'll be happy

jerk
But I'd tall dead again.

TWO FLED TO DEATH.
LOST CONTROL OF MACHINE RE-
SUITS IN FATALITIES.
Priest Among Those Hurt-Party out
for Pleasure, Meets Serious
Mishap.

Long Branch, N. j., August IL
Four persons went flying down an en-
bankment with a big Rhodersnyder
machine at Elberon shortly after p.
NJ. yesterday afternoon with fatal re-
suits. The dead are:
Frank J. Matthews, Of eJrsey City,
40 years old.
Mrs. Cobb, of Richmond, Va, 81
years old.
The injured are:
Mrs. Louis Pizzini, at the Monmouth
Memorial hospital suffering from a
fractured leg and shock.
Rev. Father Grant, Of the Paulist
Fathers, New York, who injured his
leg and is also suffering from shock.
Rudolph Meyer, the chauffeur, who
escaped with an injured leg.
The five occupants Of the big ma
chine were moving toward Ocean ave-
nue when the accident happened. They
were out for pleasure trip, having
come from Deal, where Mr.. Matthews
has a summer home. Mr.. Matthews
was in charge of the machine, which
was a new one, having been purchased
d few days ago at cost of $4,000. The
chaffeur was occupying his seat on
rhe step.
Where the road passes over the
tracks of the New York & Long
Branch railroad is a most dangerous
spot, and care is always exercised By
drivers. The tracks of the Atlantic
Coast trolley road are first crossed.

Matthews lost control Of his machine

nue.. was on the street when Mr.. Mat.
thews and his party approached. He
Noticed that the big machine was
swerving and in his efforts to get out
Of the way he was run into and
Knocked down, but not seriously hurt.
The Chauffeur was on the step, and
seeing the accident was sure to come
jumped and saved his life. The tracks
IF the New York & Long Branch rail
road are below at distance of 80
feet. The railing gave way to the
pressure of the big machine, which
turned a somersault as it went down.
Mr.. Matthews was underneath the
wreck and was pinioned fast. His
Jeath was almost instantaneous. Mr..
Matthews hip was broken as was one
Of his legs.
The dead body Of Mr.. Matthews was
at once removed from the tracks and
taken to the morgue Of Hyers Flock,
where it is now being prepared for
burial. The central train, due at Long
Branch at 2:30, was approaching at
the time Of the accident, and had 1t
been delayed a few minutes would
nave crushed into the party. AS IL
" s. the two injured women were take,
aboard and conveyed on stretchers to
the hospital. The unfortunate women
we're sisters, being residents Of Rich
.nond, Va. Mrs. Cobb fingered until
a little before o'clock, when she died.
She suffered internal injury.
The party left the Holloway inn
few minutes before tn tragedy for
pleasure trip. Father Grant escaped
serious injury. He was taken to his
room at the Halfway inn, where he
is being attended by DR.. j. H. Bryan.

CAN'T SHAVE HIMSELF.
President Roosevelt Not at All Handy
 with the Razor.

President Roosevelt slaves every day, or rather is shaved" said an at tache of the white house to a Wash ington Star reporter. "A young col ored man named Delaney, who Is a messenger at the white house, Is the presidents barber. He is from Alex andria, Va, and was in the govern ment service for some time before he was assigned 10 the white house to attend to the presidents head and face and 10 perform the duties of messenger. Delaney usually slaves the president between 2:30 and 3 o'clock each afternoon, after lunch Is served and the presidents guests at lunch go away. Sometimes the shaving is done earlier in the day. I have seen Delaney making his ar engagements for shaving before 1:3O o'clock, at an hour when the presi- went was supposed 10 be receiving visitors, but this was nearly always on days when there were no visitors or callers waiting to see the president. In the cabinei room is a folding bar ber's chair which, when not in use, is placed against the wall and remains unobserved. The president sits in this and isshaved in the cabinetroom. Delaney folds the chair and puts it away when he gets through. The work is quickly done, as the president apparently begrudges the time taken and wants to be up and doing some thing. President Mckinley always shaved himself, using either safety or regular razor. He could handle a razor with great ease, as he had been accustomed to shaving himself for years. When he went away he shaved himself as usual. He could do the job on a flying train as easily as when in his room. President Roosevelt does not know how to shave himself comfortably and takes De- laney with him when he goes off any where" /"

PAPER SAFES.
Imitation Affairs Used to Adorn Offices
 of Ambitious Business Men.

The conditions of modern business have given rise to a curious occupa- tion-that of the man who sells imi- tation safes" LiEe other occupa- tions, his is most brisk in these pros porous times, and gaining in brisk ness as the times gain in prosperity.
 Fireproof his safes are not, nor bur- glar-proof either, and sharp hatchet would make short work of them, for they are made of nothing more nor less than papier-mache.
 The imitation safe supplies the wants of many establishments where appearances are necessary to take the place of realities. In external and in- ternal makeup they are like the real article, but instead of chilled steel and huge iron bolts, colored and pol- ished wood and wooden bolts must suffice. Once in place, they defy de- tection, unless they become exposed to actual touch, or to fire, or to some accident-which does not often hap pen.
 Who buys them? Well, the young and struggling lawyer, the preten- tious real estate agent, and even offices of sudden" and highly-capi- talized corporations are ornamented with them.

America s Indus trial Strength Ss
By ALFRED MOSELY, (. M. G.,
 English Phi1anthropist.

Mir. Mosely is now in this country studying American industrial methods, and will later send two English commissions here for the same purpose.
Newport daily independent., 1902-05-17

Behind a railed partition the safe would deceive an expert, but in get ting it behind is where the danger lies, for prying eyes would soon mo- tice that it was by no means the solid affair it purports to be.
 Sc it is delivered with all the pant ing formality that attends the real safe on its travels. Great blanks guide it to its resting-place, and huge ropes and blocks and tackle are fc- titiously strained and tugged at by real workmen in greasy blue blouses and oyeralls before it passes from the truck to the corner where it is to stay. All this is part of the contract, and is religiously carried out.
 But the workmen are part and par eel of the conspiracy, which latter is generally innocent. The deception is harmless, for neither money nor valuables is long left in the safe; and as for books, papers and the like, they remain in these wooden contriyances only long enough to give the proprie- tor an opportunity to take them else where.-London Answers.

HIS GRAMMAR.
How Wall Street Broker Earned Ten
 Dollars Last Year.

Dollars Last Year.
 One of the brokers who was an i'm portant figure in recent Wall street operations, says the New York Post, began his career as a schoolmaster. He invented at that period clock for kindergartens which was expected to facilitate the teaching of young minds how to tell time. It was listed in the Patent Record, and seemed there by to be a definite tangible achieve ment, but it brought him no money, and he suppressed his inclination for mechanics and compiled a grammar. This was successful; and the other day, when men in the street were guessing and gossiping about what he was doing in the market, friend called at his office and found the broker with a copy of a new edition of the grammar on the desk before him. He was busy at the moment, not with the operations going for ward, but with proud and delighted contemplation of the statement of his publishers, which showed that his. royalties for the last half year had amounted to $965.

A KINDLY ACT.
Tramp Gave the Thoughtless Throng a
 Little Object Lesson in Charity.


 A leaky spigot, a big dog and a tramp taught the passing throng on F street the other morning little les son in humanity. The big dog had on no collar He, like the tramp, was battling for simple existence. He had come to the spigot for a drink. Just enough water leaked from it into the catch basin beneath to whet his appetite without gratifying it. His eye would follow a drop with light ming rapidity down through the grat- ed basin. He would then look mp at the spigot most wistfully. Of the passing crowds there was none who noticed him until a knight of the road" with a tightly rolled blanket flung over his shoulder, slouched past the corner of Thirteenth and F streets. Before he had crossed the street he saw the dog and interpreted at once his silent appeal. He went straight to the pigot and turned the water on full force, holding it until the dogs thirst had been quenched. The two tramps then sauntered off in different directions.-W Washington C+op

TURKISH RUGS.
Wholesale Purchasers Never Know Qual-
 ity of Goods They Buy.


 Turkish rugs are sold by the bale as they enter the custom house, and the purchaser has no opportunity to examine them. He must take them as they come, good, bad and indiffer- ent. old and new, coarse and fine, per feet and ragged. The weeks arrivals are usually put up at auction on Mon day morning. The larger quantity of rugs come from the interior of Asia. and are brought down to the ports of the Mediterranean and Black sea by caravans of camels and shipped 10 smyrna andConstantinople, which are the great markets. They are packed so many to the bale by sizes, and if the purchaser knows the name of the seller and the place from which they have been shipped, it gives him slight basis upon which he can judge as 10 their value, but it is al- ways more or less of lottery, and hence the rugs bring much less than their actual yalue-Correspondence Chicago Record Herald.
