FOLLOWED HEAD ON COLLI ISION

Montreal, Dec Superintendent
 dcGuigan of the Grand Trunk railway states that he is not in a position to give out list of the killed and injured in the accident at Wanstead last night. His information is that about twenty five were killed and thirty were injured, but reliable list has not reached him. He says he. cannot understand how the operator who is charged with the mis- take made such blunder.
 He is one of the oldest and most re- liable operators. He went in the ser vice with the Grand Western railway in 1871. It appears he failed to give the order to the passenger train to meet the. freight at the station. Everything possible has been done to aid the in jured"

The president adds that as no question of national honor CT cession of territory is involved, after thorough consideration and in ac- cord with all the powers concerned, who have shown an honorable spirit of mutual consideration and moderation, he is glad to be informed that they all have agreed to submit the question to The Hague tribunal.

Baby Carriages Will Be Charged for
 Hereafter.
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Go has issued orders and sent them to all stations in the state, to the effect that on and after January l all baby carriages, go-carts and sleds must be paid for when trans ported as baggage. It will cost Is cents to send any of these articles be- tween stations in the state of Connecti- cut, while outside of the state the charge will be 9 cents or more, ac- cording to distance. There has been a large number of carriages transported every day for nothing. Besides being hard to handle, they take up a good deal of room and this is probably the reason the rule has been made.

"R. F. D." AND SNOW.
What Postal Department Expects as to Highways and Work

to Highways and Work.
 Southington, Dec 7.-John A. Brooks and William Nolan, rural free delivery mail carriers, have complained about highways being impossible owing to. snow. In response to an inquiry for advice from the postal authorities, the following was received:
 1. The department looks to the. pa irons of the rural free delivery service who are receiving the benefits of the service. to use their utmost personal endeavors, and also exert their infiu- ence with the road supervisors, CT with those officials who are responsible to the condition of the highways, to the end that the roads travelled by. rural carriers may be always kept open and in such passabIe shape that the ser vices can be regularly and punctually performed. 4s, Should the regularity of the ser vice be needlessly destroyed as the re- suit of inattantio1 and lack of care be- slowed on the highways, the perma- nent withdrawal of the delivery will very likely result
 3. Rural letter carriers are requested to serve their routes regularly at all seasons of the year and in every kind
  of weather when it can be done with outseriously imperiling their lives or endangering their lives or endangering their conveyances or the United States mail which is in their custody
 4. Patrons should clear away the snow drifts. so that carriers can drive up to reach the ,B,-kes from their ve- hicles without disnounting.
 ,. It is not a part of the carriers duty to break out the roads after se- we're snow storms.
 | 6. Rural carriers are expected to energetically try to serve their routes even though the conditions may be cx- tremely adverse. and any undue lack of zeal on their part should be prompt ly brought to the attention of this office for such action as the merits of the case require.
 Respectfully.

PUT UP A MATCH SCRATCH. The City Hall Lobby Is Now a Thing
 of Beauty


 Signs have been posted in the lobby of the city hall building warning peo- pie not to scratch matches on the new ly painted wall. If smokers will comply with this order the place will be in excellent condition for years. But will they, though? Wait until next fall when the politicians crowd in there to hold caucuses and see how much notice will be taken of the signs. Many think it would be a. good plan to have lighted taper in the lobby during the day and evening so that people could start up their pipes or light cigars without the use of matches. Tn this way the chance of keeping the walls clean would be bright, but it is question if smokers will take any more stock in the signs relative to matches than spitters do regarding the ones making expector- ating on the floor, an offense punish able by a heavy fine. It is too bad that this is so. The lobby has been put in good condition at considera ble expense and it is pity that it cannot be kept that way.

paste with some stifhy whipped cream
which has been sweetened with powder
ed sugar. Spread the banana cream on
some very fresh biscuits, then put two
biscuits together to form a sandwich
and arrange them on a fancy paper

Savory sandwiches may also be made
with little biscuits, using almost any
kind of delicate sandwich mixture. The
following, for instance, is particularly
suitable: Pound the yolk Of hard boil
ed egg with an ounce of fresh butter
and a tablespoonful of the blanched
leaves of some fresh water cress. Sea-
son the mixture with celery salt and a
dust of curry powder, rub it through a
sieve and use as directed for the banana
sandwiches. The sandwiches should
not be made until shortly before they
are required or the biscuits will lose
their crispness. For a change sand
witches may be made with toast instead
of bread and butter. The toast should
be allowed to get cold, but not to tough

Htnt. For Un1tnea skirts.

In planning out the wide ruffle of a
skirt it is usual to lay center back and
front to fold. joining on where occa-
sion requires and pressing all such
seams out of visible existence. Acting
on this method. the right swing and
curve are inevitable. Then, as hem is
always a troublesome matter on any
sort of curve and not completely satis-
factory at the best, to finish the base
of the ruff1e it is best to apply a shaped
facing, one not more than two inches
in depth. And if stitchings are not en-
ployed as an ornamental detail then the
upper edge is heater sewed by hand and
the result kept as invisible as possible.
