FRO 1 HER
CARRIAGE

There was great deal Of excite
ment on Depot Square this noon,
when Mrs. Murdo McIver Of Granite
vile was thrown from her carriage,
striking on her side and head. near
the stone post in front Of Marion s
cigar store.
1t was narrow escape and almost
miraculous that she escaped alive.
Had she fallen few inches to one
side her brains would have been dash
ed out on the stone post.
Mrs. McIver was driving south in
front of Kings jewelry store on North
Main street when the l2:45 electric Car
came along. The horse was frighten-
ed and started to run He became
unmanageaple and when near the cigar
corner he swerved to one side and the
lady was thrown several feet. The
carriage was not overturned and the
horse ran to Academy street.
Mrs McIver was taken by Frank
Sartelle and Thomas Suitor to the
home Of friend where she
has been visiting today and DR.. j
S. Deziel was summoned. She wa:
badly bruised and scratched and there
was an ugly cash on the side OF he
head next to her ear but she will re
cover all right.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous tree

carnahuba palm and can be employed
for many useful purposes. Its roots
produce the same medicinal effect as

luster and serve also for joists, rafters
and other building materials as well as
for stakes for fences.
From parts Of the tree wines ana
vinegar are made. 1t yields also sac

resembling sago. Its fruit is used for
feeding cattle. The pulp has an agree

GLADSTONE'S ORATORY.
One Critic Likens 1t to the Rushing
NJ Waters In n Tempest.


Gladstone was great financier and
nerhans the very greatest expostor OF
finance who ever lived. He had
magical influence over masses OF men
and power of words the effect OF
which was more like that OF huge
masses Of water in tempest than any
thing else. His Midlothian speeches
made one think less of river coming
down than of the sea coming up. HIS
skill in constructing difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
of his time and perhaps was never ex-
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate of him Is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
his extraordinary power OF believing
nrecisely what he wished to belieVe'
he had tender conscience, but save
only where finance was concerned, ne
had at conscience thoroughly under
command, If 1t showed the sllghtest
recalcitrancy, his will was always
ready to say, Gust you dare!'
And vet when all has been sald 1ol
ond against him there can be no doup'
that he will remain the most notable
Enplishman of his generation-as much
out of place among the Liberals as
Disraeli was among the Conservatives
hnt like him, a head and shoulders
above all his rivals and as much s",
n.ror to Disracli himself in most OF
tho higher arts of statesmuiIah.p as
that immensely clever child oi 's'".'
was superior to him in all its secondary
