Dane, who was arrested few days ago

the stage OF the Bijou Theatre in Brooklyn

tainment was being given for the benefit
OF the Theatrical Mechanics Association,
and he was down on the programme for .
few stunts.
One thing that he was to do was to break
four good-sized steel chains In succession
by pulling on them with his teeth. They
were fastened to rings In the stage floor.
He broke the first chain all right The
come, and part OF the door itself began
to rise with a great cracking and groaning.
Then the manager OF the theatre told
him he would have to choke OF and do
something else. So he fastened his grinders
on big horseshoe and took the curve out
of 1t.
Next he bit into the middle Of an iron
bar TX inches thick and 10 feet long. and
holding it in his mouth let six 2O0-pound
men. three on each end, swing on it until
1t was bent crescent shaped. This. like
all his other performances. looked genuine

that before he went over Niagara Falls
suspended by his teeth from a wire he
would like to try a trip in the same way
from the Flatiron Building to Madison
Square Garden. Tody Hamilton he said,
had his proposition to this effect under
consideration for some time, but would
not undertake the management OF it be-
cause he thought there would be too much

or twelve ties we're piled across the tracks
In front Of the train, but they were unse-
cured and the locomotive turned them
10 one side. Some OF them struck the
coaches and tore of steps and siding.
Other logs were found piled up on Track
>. used by eastbound freight trains.
They were removed by employees from
the Sound Beach station In time to prevent
the 'wrecking OF an extra freight train
passing OF the time.
Italian trackmen who went on strike at
Harlem River on Friday and have been
walking along the tracks forcing other
trackmen to quit work, are blamed for the
attempted wreck. The local police re-
serves have been ordered out to patrol the
tracks. The main body of the gang Of
strikers went through here yesterday and
we're last heard Of near Bridgeport. Many
of them returned to their homes last night,
but set out again to-day to rejoin the gang.
Train sss was in charge Of Conductor
John Wardwell. It left Stamford for New
York at 7:5O, crowded to the doors. At
the west end Of Selleck's Cut. on a sharp
curve bordered on both sides by woods,
the train struck the obstruction. There
was perceptible jar throughout the coaches
and the steps we're torn OF the smoker with
4 grinding noise that threw the passengers
into confusion.
The engineer slowed down and stopped
at the Sound Beach station. several hundred
yards beyond. A hasty inspection showed
that little damage had been done. The
baggage master at the Sound Beach sta
ton and his assistant set out along the
tracks to notify the Stamford officials.
As they approached the scene OF the at
tempted wreck they saw eight or ten men
run Oh through the woods. The two rail-
road men found the ties lying in a mass
close to the edge Of Track 3. They had
been scattered by the engine.
Directly across Track 2 lay some more
ties. freight train was approaching
from, the west and the two men had to work
quickly to get the ties away in time to pre-
vent an accident. They then went on to
Stamford and reported the matter.
The railroad officials requested the police
to patrol the tracks and run down the gang
At ii P. NJ. the police were searching for
I he men in the woods.

A COURT WITH COMMON SENSE

The supreme court Of Colorado has
held in a recent case that the failure
of an actual majority of the persons
voting at the election to vote in fav-
or of the amendment is not point to
be given any consideration"
If the supreme court of this state
had exercised that kind OF common
sense the people would have been
saved large sums of money and avoid
ed the necessity of supreme court
commissions and the construction OF
the laws by a set of men whom the
people never elected for that pur
pose. Half the government of the
state of Nebraska is, as every man
knows, wholly unconstitutional. BGt
it is submitted to because it is nee
essity. The requirement that there
shall be majority of all the votes
cast at the election cast for a consti-
tutional amendment before it can be
adopted, which is counting every man
who don't vote as against it, is
principle applied to nothing but ooh-
stitutional amendments The supreme
court of Colorado, being endowed Wild
common sense, which is a very rare
thing among courts in this genera
+;or cavs. "If AN amendment is sub
mitted in accordance with the rules

THE ONLY WAY

There will be considerable building

The editor has some advice to give
TO those contemplating improvements.
He has learned something by expert
ence and he will not charge the read
ers of this paper anything for the ex-
perience, although it was very costly.
If you are contemplating any improve
ments, get the contractor to make an
estimate. Tell him that that estimate
mus. include the whole cost and after
he has made the estimate including
everything, to add 25 per cent to it
before he presents you the papers
Then make him swear on stack of
Bibles that that is all that the job will.
cost Then take the estimates Of the
contractor and add so per cent more
to it yourself. After that, make cal"
culations that there will be deficiencies
that will amount to Is per cent more
and be sure you have the whole
amount before you begin. If after
adding all these percentages, you find
that it will take all the money you
have to pay the bills, then look
around and see what you can mort
gage to raise an additional amount.
If you haven't anything that you can
mortgage, then don't. That is the
only safe way for any one contemplate
ing building in these days of trust

REPUBLICAN DRIVEL

A few republicans still go around
talking about "fifty-cent" silver dol
lar. but they are not as numerous as
they once were Those who still per-
sist in it, belong either to the polltl-
cal shysters or those absolutely ignor-
ant of the first principles of political
economy. The value" of thing, as
that word is used in trade and COM
merce. is estimated by what it will
exchange for in other things. Ii a
man has something and no one will
give him anything for it, it has no
"value," or sit isn't worth anything" "
as it is sometimes expressed. During
the reign of the Cleveland-Sherman re-
gime. this writer knew a man who
had 250 bushels of as fine potatoes as
were ever grown. He hauled load
to town, but no man would give him
anything for them. He couldn't sell
them at any price. He drove to the
outskirts of the town and threw them
out by the wayside. They had as
much 'life-sustaining" quality as any
