WHAT'S IN A NAmEe

Mistaking Of Seneca for Sand Creek
Caused Railroad Disaster
Sing Sing changed its name to
avoid the disagreeable association Of
the penitentiary, and now Seneca a
railway station in Michigan, memoir
able as the scene Of one of the most
appalling railroad wrecks Of recent
years, is to be renamed Ennis. A
local newspaper declares that had this
station borne the name of Ennis,
or any other name than the one it
did bear, it is most likely that the
horror Of last November would not
have occurred. The nearest station
to Seneca is Sand Greek. The names
of Seneca and Sand Creek, when
quickly spoken, sound much alike,
and this has always been a menace
to clear understanding Of train or
ders, 1t was the installing of Sen
eca for Sand Creek as the passing
point of the two trains that brought
about the collision, as a result OF
which nearly hundred people were
either killed outright or persisted
helplessly in the wreck of the burning
cars. The change of name, it is said
will also be a relief to night passen,
gers on the line, many Of whom have
sleepily heard the call Of Seneca
or "Sand Creek" and stumbled of
the cars at the wrong station.-N. Y

THE PHILIPPINES.
Soldier Furnishes Description OF
"Isles OF Far East -
Bunch of Trouble Gathered Tc-
gether on the tiOrizonof West
ern Civilization"

a private of the Ninth infantry
furnishes the following unique de
scription of the 'isles OF the tan
East" over which the stars and
stripes float:
The Philippines are a. bunch Of
trouble gathered together on the
horizon of the western civilization.
They are bounded on the north
by rocks and destruction, on the
east by typhoons and monsoons, on
the south by cannibals and earth
quakes, and on the east by hoodo-
ism and smugglers.
The climate is a combination of
electrical changes, especially
adapted to raising Cain.
The soil is extraordinarily fer
tile, producing large crops Of in
surrection and trlcksters. The in
habitants are extremely industri-
Gus. Their chief occupation is
trench building, the manufacture Of
bolos and knives, add reloading
Remington cartridges. Their
amusenents are cock fighting, mon
te dealing, theft and cheating
Their diet consists OF boiled rice,
stewed rice, fried rice, cooked rice,
and rice.
The Filipino marriage service is.
impressive, especially the clause
wherein the wife is given the priv
lege of working as much as her
husband desires (Which is from
daylight until dark.)
The beast of burden is the cara
bao. On a three mile journey only
ten days rations need be carried.
If the trip should be 100 miles the
driver would die Of old age before,
reaching his destination.
The rivers are serPentine in course
their currents running in opposition
to all known laws of gravitation.
Manila is the capital and the
principal city. 1t is situated on
Manila Bay, a large land-locked
body of water, full Of fish, sharks,
and Spanish submarine boats.
Cavite, the next city of impOr-
tance. is noted for its naval station
and its large number OF saloons and
Cinnamon.

Golden SIX

Gold and silver silk are coming from
South Africa. The fibers are spun
by two remarkable spiders Of Rhode
STA, and an experimenter has found
that the creatures may be reared in
captivity, and that the silk can be
utilized. The webs are stretched on
bushes and trees, often in a vast net
work. Both filaments have a bril-
liant metallic luster and are very
fine and strong, the fneness Of the
golden silk being about that Of the
silkworm thread, but the strength
being much greater. A thread Of
steel of the same size, in fact, has only
two-thirds the strength Of the spi-
der's thread. The golden silk spider,
at least che larger Of the two kinds,
exists in large numbers on the weld,
where ii feeds on the common fly.

YOUNG AND CORBIN EMBARK
American Generals Leave England
for Home.

London, Oct 1S-The visit of General
CorEin and General Young to England
was concluded this morning when they
left Waterloo railroad station to embark
on the American line steamer Phnadel-
phia at Southampton. A crowd Of friends
was present, including SiI Thomas Lip

bassador Chcate; Naval Attache Clover
and Military Attache Cassatt-
The car reserV cd for the American Of
ficers was filed with military chiefs, their
aides and ladies of the party. Sir Thomas

large box of orchids
General Young said: 1.-The trouble with
English hospitality is that they make you
feel you doing them a favor in ac-
cepting it. 1t was all and a little more
than we could do to take advantage Of
all the kindnesses proffered here. Our
stay was a little longer than expected

King Edward asked the generals for
their photographs.
One of the most interesting features of
the stay OF the generals here was the visit
which they made a marlborough to Fer
mer Empress Eugene, who was quite de-
lighted to make the acquaintance of the
Americans. The empress usually retains
strict sedusion in her quiet country home
and the occasion was a complete excep-
ton. One of those present said:

contrast of the old world and the new as

A SPECK OF RUST
Separates a Number of Persons from
Their Property.

New York Oct 1S.-What appears to
be tiny speck of rust on a small iron
bolt has caused a great deal of trouble
to the wealthy people of Portchester.
The rust is supposed to irresponsible for
the refusal of the iron vault in the First
National bank of that town to respond
to the combination last Monday morn
ing Since then half a dozen experts
have been at work on the door but it is
not believed they will succeed until next
Monday in loosening the bolts.
At the regular hour Cashier wilcox,
who knows the combination of the big
vault, went to the door and began to
turn the knob. He threw the combina-
ton and took hold of the large nickle-
plated lever which is used to dislodge
the bolts, twenty-four in number, jut-
ing into the round holes in the walls of
the vault The outer door swung open
as usual, but when the cashier attempt
ed to pull open the inner door, which
is supposed to be unlocked by the open
ing of the outer door. he found that Il
was held fast
Vainly he tugged at the heavy door.
The bank was then open and the CASH
Ter knew that if a big check came in
and the explanation was made that the
vault could not be opened, reports
might start which would do the institu-
ton serious damage. He worked at the
door until beads of perspiration began
to drop from his forehead. Not the one
hundredth part of an inch would the
ponderous piece of metal yield.
Funds were secured from the credits
at other banks to carry on the business,
but papers valued at 600 or more
and quantities of iewelry deposited for
safe keeping are still berind the vault
door and many society women are be-
ing compelled to forego the pleasure OF
wearing their jewels.

SWITCH WASOPEN
Express Train Telescopes a
Sleeper on a Siding.

Lake Crystal, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-The
west-bound Sioux City passenger train
on the Omaha road collided with the
Des Moines passenger at 1921 this
morning, injuring several passengers
and wrecking the rear sleeper on the
Des Moines train. The injured:

bruised about the face and head.
The Des Moines train which left st.
Paul last night was standing on a
switch waiting for the Sioux City train
to pass. Either the switch was open or
broken at the time of the accident. The
Sioux City train, also from st. Paul.
was going at about 20 miles an hour
when it reached the switch and ran on
the sidetrack and telescopeds the rear
sleeper of the Des Moines train. Pas
sengers on both trains were consider
ably shaken, but none excepting those in
the telescoped sleeper were seriously in
jured. The injured were cared for by
the local physicians until the track was
cleared and the trains could continue on
their trips

SCHOOL GIRLS FUSS.
Just Because the Graduating Glass of
ga Cast 215 Votes.

New York. Oct. 1S.-There is friction
in the graduating class of the girls
high school in Brooklyn over the recent
election of a president of the class.
After g. lively canvass Miss Olive Greer
won the coveted honor from Miss Lima
Parson by a majority of 8. Although
one of the teachers presided at the cleo
ton and made a formal announcement
of the result, some of Miss Parsons sup
porters raised a cry of fraud and de-
manded another election.
An extraordinary feature Of the cleo
ton is that although only 214 girls were
present 215 votes were cast, and there
has been much speculation how the ex-
ira vote got into the ballot box. Miss
Greer and Miss Parson had little chat
yesterday over the matter.
