Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 2. While driv-
ing here yesterday morning Mrs. j.
Stewart Walker of Lynchburg, Va,
was killed and Mrs. William N. Appel
of this city, who is d daughter of
George +. Baer, president of the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad Co., was
badly injured. President Baer was i'm
mediately notified and hurried to his
daughters bedside on special train,
arriving here about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. He left several hours later,
when assured that Mrs. Appel was in
no immediate danger and would likely
recover. a
The horse driven by the two women
was frightened by another runaway
horse and, dashing the carriage against
telegraph pole, threw both women
headlong on the paved street, beneath
the wrecked carriage.
Mrs. Walker sustained compound
fracture of the skull, and died in the
General Hospital, last evening without
having regained consciousness. She
was here on visit to her mother, Mrs.
George Calder, accompanied by hel
four children.
Mrs. Appel's condition last evening
was very grave, but there are strong
hopes for her recovery. She is suffer
ing from concussion of the brain anc

Why?

rs one of the great attractions in
honor of President Rooseyelts visit to
Omaha, Sept. eth, it is said that a
hotse-race of eco miles is being ar
ranged. 1t will be participated in by
rough riders, Indians, cowboys and
''cowgirls, +" but the main condition
of the race is that each rider shall use
only one horse for the entire distance.
The result of such contest will be
the killing or permanent iniuring Of
nearly all the horses ridden. At n re.
cont similar contest-the military ride
from Ostend to Brussels-the majority
of the riders killed or crippled theil
horses. The contestants were French
and Belgian officers and one English
man, Emperor William refusing to per
init the German army officers to par
ticipate in such a cruel affair.
1t is safe to assume that no such an en-
tertainment, involving extreme cruelt,
to dumb brutes, would have been ever
suggested for any other President o
the United States, from George Wash
ington to William Mckinley inclusive
All would have been insulted at such
proposition.
Why, then, should such brutality b.
considered fit and proper form of on
5ertainment for Theodore Roosevelt?

Women who Wear wen.

II is astonishing how great change
a. few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition OF
MANY women. ~ The freshness. the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a peach which is rudely
handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, faint echo OF the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for this
change, ignorance and neglect. Few
young women appreciate the shock to
the system through Interchange which
comes with marriage. Many neglect to
deal with the unpleasant drains which
are often consequent on marriage and
Motherhood, not understanding that
this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness. AS surely as the general health
suffers when there is arrangement Of
the health of the delicate womanly
organs, so surely when these organs
are established in health the face and
form at once witness to the fact in
renewed comeliness. Half million
women and more have found health
and happiness in the use of DR.. Pieroe's
Fayorite Prescription. 1t makes weak
women strong and sick women we'll.

Rather Nobody Than Adaioks.

Referring to reports to the effect that
tho Republican opposition to-Addicks
in Delaware is weakening, and that
the Union Republican boss is more
hopeful now than he has been for sew
eral years, the Chicago Record Herald
says: -
Addicks has successfully played the
part Of the dog in the manger by keep
ing anybody else from being elected to
he couldn't have the" honor himself.
Rather than permit this state Of affairs
to continue certain members OF the
Legislature are said to he inclined
to let Addicks go to Washington SO
that another Seaator. in addition TO
him can be elected.
If this report Is true the Republican
legislators who weaken and help elect
Addicks will make serious and
shameful mistake. Delaware cannot
have honorable representation in the
United States Senate If Addicks Is a
part of that representation. The Re
publican majority in the Senate is
strong enough without any help from
Delaware, hence the Republicans of
that State need not feel that they owe
1t to their party to recede from the
praiseworthy stand they have hitherto
maintained. If Addicks is TO be the
price of her representation Delaware
had better remain forever unrepre-
sented.
Undoubtedly, and this conclusion ex-
presses the best and soundest Republi-
can sentiment in this State. For
while the cry of Boss Addicks' fol-
lowers is .'Addicks or nobody" the
| firm determination of those Republi-
cans who have resisted him from the
first and are still resolute in their OPP
position is Rather nobody than Ad-
dicks"
But it does not appear that the real
Republican opposition to Addicks is in
any degree impaired. That some timid,
weak kneed Republicans who hitherto
have opposed him are now arrayed with
the want. town" Republicans who
are willing to, compromise with dis.
honor in order to insure party success,
will not be denied. But their mum
bers are small and their political in.
fuence nil. The real anti-Addicks
Republican sentiment was fully illus
trated at the recent Republican State
Convention, when the door was locked
against even overtures in the direction
of compromise with Addicks Repub
licanism.
| So for as the present Legislature Is
concerned, the seven Republican mem
bers who resisted the election of Addick
at the regular session are still unit il
opposing him, so that he has nothing
to hope for from the present body

A Court to Try Children.

The new Children's Court, for the
trial of juvenile offenders, opened in
NewYork City Tuesday. The basic prin-
ciple of the new court, according to the
New York World, is to keep child
offenders--hoys and girls under sixteen

sumably more hardened criminals.
There will be absolutely no court room
contact of the two classes. Even the
forms OF judicial procedure will vary.
The children will be treated as victims
of error rather than intentional wrong.

reach that softer side of the child

SAWDUST AS ANIMAL FOOD.
The Interesting Experiment of Carolin
m County Farmer.

The Interesting Experiment of Caroline
n County Farmer.
~ Easton, Nd, Sept. 2.-Herman
Schmidt, Fifth district, Caroline
county farmer, read in a German tech
nical paper that wood properly pre-
pared would make good animal food.
AS there are number of saw mills in
his neighborhood he is putting the
plan into practical operation. The
theory is that animals have decided
liking for. young shoots, roots Of
shrubs, tree bark and other heavy food
of the same nature, and, since expert
meuts have proved that the nutriment
contained in such growth remains in
it even after it has become wood, and
that with little salt and water added
to. it. the sawdust will prove to be a
highly nourishing diet.
Pine, birch, alder, beech, walnut
and other woods and straws have been
analysed chemically and found that
the wood has vastly more. albumen,
nitrogen and fatty substances than
straw. In addition to the salt and
water Mr.. Schmidt is adding potatoe
Feelings, corn husks, canning house
refuse or any other slop he can obtain.
His few months experience leads him
to believe the theory is all right.

h With the aid of revolver, from
which he fired several shots, John
Bell, young colored man from Virr
ginia, made matters exceedingly lively
for the crew OF Baltimore & Ohio
freight train which arrived in Phila-
delphia early Monday morning from
Baltimore. Bell boarded the train as
it was leaving Baltimore on Sunday
night, and when one one of tho brake
men ordered him off he drew the re-
yolver and compelled him to seek
refuge in the caboose attached to the
rear of the train. ts ss
During the journey several of the
other trainmen attempted to force the
man from the train by throwing coal at
him and hesurprised them by shooting,
three bullets coming from the revolver
in rapid succession. The colored man,
to prevent further interference, followed
all the brakemen to the caboose, whore
he practically kept them prisoners
until the train reached Philadelphia. L
In passing Wilmington the conductor
Of Y the train threw a note to the signal
operator explaining what had occurred,
and word was telegraphed to Philadel-
phia, the result being that the train
| was met by a number of. railroad en-
| ployes, all armed, headed by Special
Officer Neeser. Bell was in a car with
young white man, named Samuel
Cushman, no home, who was going ia
Philadelphia TO get work.
Special Officer Neeser commanded
Bell to surrender, but instead Of doing
SO, the latter attempted to draw his
revolver. The special officer, who had
his pistol ready for action promptly
fired and shot Bell twice, one of the
bullets striking the mans head. Neither
of his wounds, however, was dangerous,
and after being placed under arrest ht
was taken to the Polyclinie Hospital

Later in the day the prisoner was ar
raigned in the Central Police Court
and among the witnesses who testified
was Cushman, who accused tho man o
having assaulted him in the car during
