A NERVY ENGINEER.
His Presence of Mind in Face of Great
Danger Saves the Lives Of 500 Pass

AehSefSs
Nearly 500 passengers who were
aboard train No. 10 on the Wabash
road narrowly escaped a wreck and
death near Clark station, Indiana,
the other night. The train is known
as the Buffalo limited, and reaches
Chicago at $3.50 in the evening. Clark
station is the crossing of the Wabash
and the Fort Wayne railways, and is
four miles east of Hammond.
A short distance out of Clark the
Wabash crosses the Grand Calumet
river over a huge trestlework bridge.
Some repairs had been made on the
structure only recently, and it was
considered perfectly safe, track
walkers having just patroled the
bridge before the Wabash limited left
Clark station. AS the train, having
aboard nearly 500 souls, reached the
middle of the structure that spanned
the Calumet the engineer heard the
cracking of timbers as the middle
span of the bridge sank beneath his
engine. He opened the throttle to the
farthest limit, and the train fairly
leaped from the swaying trestlework.

sIGY oFqHE TF1rEs.

The action of Speaker Henderson in declining to accept the nomination for congress which was given him by ac- icla1nation is an interesting and signifi- cant incident. He feels that he can't well represent the people who gave him the nomination. He doesn't look at the tariff and the trusts as they do. He says: You cannot kill the trusts by applying free trade without killing our own industries. The foreign trusts are fighting the American trusts, and I don't believe that, for the purpose of controlling American trusts We should make market for foreign trusts, there by crushing out the industries of this country
 This statement clearly indicates the kind of contest that is already on and is perhaps irrepressible. Speaker Hen derson has acted honestly and perhaps wisely.

AREAL PRIVILEG r.

People who think of going to Wash ington to see the sights and expect to stay over Sunday will be glad to know that they can go into the magnificent congressional library on Sunday. This beautiful building is now open on Sum- day, and, according to Librarian Put nam, the character of the first Sundays visitors proved that the innovation was appreciated. There were no loiterers, and the number of persons in search of
 knowledge exceeded the weekday av- craze. In the periodical room many new faces were seen, number being
 from the number walks of life. With
 these persons, as with the frequenters,
 the more serious kinds of reading were chosen. There was not a single request for fashion publications. In the general reading room, it was said, there was a demand for works on theology, and his-
 torical and scientific publications were more in request than were those on fic- tion. Altogether, Librarian Putnam seems to have studied the tastes of the first Sundays visitors, and while, of course, there were many readers of lighter literature, the weight of inelln- ation seems to have been in favor of substantial and profitable reading.
 It is pleasing that the people appre- ciate this great privilege and want to read what they ought to on Sunday. And we don't believe it will hurt any, body much to spend a little time on Sunday in looking at the beauties and the glories of the building. Those who are a little skittish about it's effect on them might carry along a small Bible. or religious newspaper.

the money to keep up their own ser vices, they asked to be relieved of the ! tax for the support of the Presbyterian minister. but the request was refused. At town meeting, where the raising of money for the preaching was dis cussed, a member of the Presbyterian church suggested that it was not best to raise the full amount of the minis ter's salary by taxation, but to have it made up in part by subscription, giving as his reason that there were several in the town who did not like the min ister's doctrine. The minister replied:
 'Whosoever does not like my doctrine may pull up stakes and be gone" Isaac Van Deusen retorted: We shall see whose stakes stand the deepest"
 Now, there were a few Episcopalians among them David Ingersoll-who sympathized with the Dutch people, and were not unwilling to take advan- tage of their situation. Accordingly they persuaded them to call a MT. Palmer, an Episcopal clergyman, of Litchfield, (Conn. ?, and promised them their help toward his support. So it came about that, under the Rev. Mir. Palmer's leadership, an Episcopal church was organized there in the year 17s0. As they were without house of worship, they together with their Eng fish associates. and with but little help from outside, built what was called St. James church. Isaac Van Deusen alone contributing s1,500.
 Thus the Dutch settlers of Great Bar rington became Episcopalians.-Chri tian Intelligencer.

GR EAT.

There is great business on the Great Lakes in these great times. It appears that the total freight receipts at IA re- ceiving ports on the lakes were 25,71s.- S26 net tons in the first seven months of the year, compared with 1S,S91, ,257 net tons in the corresponding months of last year. The movement of registered tonnage of vessels on these inland wa- ters is reported for the first time this year. In these reports of internal com nerce only the vessel movement be- tween American ports is included In seven months 37,413 vessels arrived with 8 tonnage of 35,OS7,S76 tons regis try, and 37,79S vessels cleared, of 35, 7s6,- 701 tons registry. This is more than twice the registered tonnage of both foreign and American vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the country, for the same period of time. The foreign trade engaged 2,174,954 tons of sail and 14,094,967 tons of steamships of all na- tionalities to July S1, 1902 making total of 16,269.921 tons. The combined registered tonnage in the foreign trade at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco and Puget Sound for the entire year 1901 was 1S,S68,80S tons entered, and 1s,- 487, ,246 tons cleared. or somewhat more than half the total tonnage reported for the Great Lakes during the seven months of 1902. Further analysis of this enormous total shows that fourteen ports each report arrivals and clear ances of a million tons and over Five ports, Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth, Cleveland and Buffalo-each show clearances of two million tons and over. The combined arrivals at these five ports was 11,421, ,099 tons and the clear ances il, 1,455,544 tons.
 Great indeed. The ''unsalted seas' are lively places.

THE MILITARY SPIRIT.


 It is admitted, even by those who do not think very we'll of the Cubans. that they are not lacking in military spirit. How fervent and aspiring this spirit is among them is shown by the statement of the captain of a merchant vessel who recently brought cargo from Cuba to the United States. He loaded at Bara- coa and while he was lying there a re- cruiting office was opened to enlist men for the Cuban national guard. Up to the time of his departure twenty men had offered to serve as generals, sixty had applied for commissions as colonels, about three hundred were willing to be majors, captains or lieutenants, and three had even signed their readiness to go in as sergeants, but no one had off, fered to enlist as private.
 Artemas Wards company of brigadier generals was all right. So are the Gu" bans, and so are the great multitude of United States co!onels.

United States girls who have in con- tenplation tying themselves to a sub jeet of the Kaiser as a husband will do well to inquire into the truth of the fol- lowing, which is from the London New Penny Magazine: In Germany, when a woman marries, her property becomes absolutely her husbands, and forever. He has power to dispose of it exactly as he sees fit, even in the face of her opposition, and in case of the couple being divorced the woman's property still remains with her husband. When she narries she gives the whole of her Independence Gf she can ever be said to have any) and confers on her Ilus- band absolute power over her. He can compel her to work and do anything which is lawful for women to doH and she has no relief or protection should he prove harsh or unkind, except public opinion. Some wealthy English and American girls who have welded Ger man nobles have afterwards learned to their sorrow how different the laws re- garding women and womens property are in the Fatherland from what they are ill their own countries.

Kansas has adopted the uniform text book plan, and contracted with a cer- tain book company to furnish books to the school children. The competing companies, aggrieved at the award be- si ing given to their rival, it is believed, induced a labor union to secure an in- junction against the successful com- pany, alleging some fracture of an agreement between the latter company and the union. The enjoiners waited for an opportune moment; as soon as the books ordered to equip the schools of the State had arrived in Topeka, the depot of the concern, the injunction was served. Not a book can be distributed until the injunction is dissolved, and, waiting upon the usual processes of the court, it will be three weeks after the time appointed for the schools to begin before the matter can be settled.
