Terrible Railway Accident in Detroit Many Excursionists Killed.
 DETROIT, Mich, May 4.-A Grand Trunk Pan-American flier from Chica- go ran into crowd of thousand peo- pie at the corner of Dequinder and killing ten to fifteen men and seriously injuring about thirty more. The ma jority of the killed and wounded are from Toledo. Fifteen hundred Poland CTS from Toledo came up to Detroit on special Lake Shore train to celebrate a holiday. They left the train at the corner of Dequinder and Garfield streets and went over to St. Joseph's church, where they spent the day with that congregation.
 The Lake Shore tracks run out De- quinder street, and special train was to stop for the Toledo excursionists at Canfield avenue at 8:3O. Accompanied by hundreds of their local friends, wait ing for the train, the excursionists damned Canfield avenue some time be fore the train was due in readiness for it's arrival
 When the train was sighted, the crowd pushed across the track and on to the Grand Trunk tracks, which ad- join those of the Lake Shore, just as the Grand Trunk Pan-American fier came laundering in from the west. The people were thrown into the air and dashed to either side of the track. Many of them were ground under the wheels.
 The police department was notified, and all the ambulances in the city rushed to the scene. The victims were scattered along the tracks for dis tance of two blocks.
 Lanterns were procured, and the work of rescue began immediately. The scene reflected by the light of the lanterns was horrible. Gradually the mangled and crushed bodies were re- covered and sent to the hospitals or morgue.
 At 10 o'clock the police had identified four of the dead.

William Carter of Kansas City. A pleasing in- cident occurred as the services began Two little girls were standing in the aisle near the presidents pew. AS soon as the president saw them he crew, them into his pew, and during the sing4 ing the three shared the same hymn1 book. At the conclusion of the services the president shook hands with a large number of people. Tn the afternoon he went for long horseback ride, accom- panied by Senators Burton and Long and President Butler of Columbia col lege.
 Senator Warren of Wyoming and Civil Service Commissioner Foulk joined the president here.
 The town was full of strangers who came to see the president, some of them riding fifty miles for that purpose. A sharon Springs admirer of the presi- dent presented to him a two-week-old badger. The little animal is as friend ly as can be and will be taken home to Washington to join the growing menag- erie of the Roosevelt children.
 At Chapman, Kan, band and 200 people greeted the president as he ap- peared on the platform of his car. Some admirer in the crowd presented him with football, which from its. ap- pearance had seen service. The presi- dent accepted the gift.
 At Abilene handsome arch covered his passage. School children threw flowers in his path, and an immense crowd greeted him. Senator Burton introduced the president. Several members of the Twentieth Kansas reg iment acted as guard. The decora- tions were beautiful and abundant. A cowboy band furnished the music.

 Eight thousand people greeted him at Salina, and he made a fifteen min ute talk. He was surrounded by $500 school children with flags. who cheered him heartily.

RECEIVED INTO soDALITY.
Address Made by Rev J. J. Fitzgerald
 of Sacred Heart Church.

OI SdCr6u h6dTL OuurCus
 A large congregation was present at the solemn high vesper service which was held i'll St Patrick's church last night. The following priests officiated: Celebrant, the Rev Father Gleeson; deacon, the Rev Father Sheehan; sub- deacon, the Rev Father Sullivan; mas ter of ceremonies, the Rev Father Fitz- gerald. About eighteen young women were received into the sodality of the Blessed Virgin. In connection with the reception of new members pow erful discourse upon the power and influence of the Blessed Virgins inter- cession with God was delivered by the Rev John J. Fitzgerald, assistant pas tor of the Sacred Heart church. Father Fitzgerald referred to the immaculate purity of ''the, Queen of All Saints and told why such title had been ac- corded her. He spoke of her long and several sufferings and the resignation with which she bore them and why she had been called therefor ''the Queen of Martyrs Of the sanctity and purity of Mary's character, of the power of her intercession, of her infiu- ence as the mother of the Son of God, and therefore of the great benefits to be derived from devotion to her, the speaker dwelt at length. Father Fitz- gerald claimed that devotion to Mary had a large connection with the history of the world and was closely inter- woven with that of this country. Mary land had been named in her honor, and many Spanish settlements on the Pa cifie coast had been called in her honor. Marquette, who discovered the Missis- sippi, fulfilled his promise of naming the river in her honor, if she assisted him in discovering it. Later the name was changed.

 Thomas Mulholland was found by Ot1cer Claffey on East Main street yes terday morning under the in- huence of drink. In the city court to-day Judge Burpee fined him $5 and costs. William Mcintyre was found in similar condition on the green yesterday afternoon by Officer Tehan and a like fine was imposed upon him.
 John O'Brien, who has been rather conspicuous in the newspapers of late on account of his domestic troubles, was charged with failing to support his seven children. Mrs O'Brien testified for the complaint and that the children are now confined at the Brookside home. OBrien told a long story of his experience with landlords. He was given week to find work
 A complaint against Julius Wineberg for assault was continued to tomorrow morning, the assaulted man not being able to appear in court.
 Officer Mclean was attracted by a noise in an alleyway in the Brooklyn district last evening and inquiry into the matter revealed trouble there be-
 
 gelo Marone, and when the officer ap- preached him Marone put his hand on his hip. Whereupon the officer flew at him and prevented him from draw ing five chamber loaded revolver. Marone was fined $7 and costs for car rying concealed weapons.
 David Litski was charged with deal ing in junk without having the permis- sion of license. Detective Dodds told how often he had warned the accused to get out a license and that the ac- cused said he did not have to get one because he had one from Bristol. Only lately it developed that even if junk dealer has a license in one town he must still have a license to do business here. for instance, as in the case of Litski. Dealers from all over the state have been doing business here without a license, but the police are determined to stop it. A fine of $1O and costs was imposed on .Litski.

COST OF TRAIN LUXURY.
Room and Comfort for Passengers
Materially Adds to the Ex-
pense of Travel.

1t may be asked why the railway loco
motive does not pull passengers at a
lower rate. Because, says the Engineer
ing Magazine, it gives passengers so
much room, comfort and hig speed that
it has to carry ton of dead weight for
each passenger A locomotive weigh
ing 100 tons pulls, at As miles per hour,
II cars weighing 600 tons and contain
ing 76O people, weighing SO tons, assum-
ing the passengers to be men, women
and children, but chiefly men, and to
average 131 pounds each; 1,4O0 pounds
of dead weight per passenger, when
every seat is taken. But cars cannot
average more than seven-tenths full.
The railway carries free the passen-
gers 15O-pound trunk, and sends with
him toilet rooms, heating stoves and
bedrooms. These houses on wheels, and
the locomotive which draws them, have
to be made very heavy in order to get
the great strength made necessary by
high speed If the railway could dis
pense with these comforts and luxuries,
and carry passengers packed closely in
side and on top of low-roofed, ram
shackle, unheated vehicles, like the old
stage, and at slow speed, it could pull
passengers at one-tenth to one-twen-
tieth the price of the old stage.

TO DETECT BAD FOOD.
Microscopic Laboratory Is EstRD-
lished in Connection with the
Department of Agriculture.

For the purpose of insuring pure food
for the people of this country Secretary
Wilson has established a microscopic
laboratory in connection with the chem
ical division of the department of agri-
culture. Already it has been demon
strated that INSCRIPTIONS dealers are
palming off artificial coffee and other
impure food on the public. The sup
posed coffee berries were regularly
shaped and colored. but were composed
of chicory, starch and other ingredients,
and when ground presented about the
usual appearance of coffee.
Cocoa has come in for some curious
results under the microscope, and in fact
there is now no branch OF the depart
ment of agriculture where this instru-
ment does not play an important part.
A large photo-microscopic camera oc-
cupies one side of q large room, and is
so arranged that foods under inspection
may be photographed and the picture
thrown upon screen in the natural coll
ors-a thing of inestimable value to
students OF grain and vegetable dis

A SONG OF DUTY.

Sorrow comes and sorrow goes.
Life Is fiecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows.
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits US. every one
Toiler, dreamer. teacher, writer
Let us then, ere life be done,
Make the world little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains perhaps, our neighbors wear.
Let us do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter,
Let US, as the Lord designed.
Make the world a little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul.
Makes the heart a nest or sorrows.
Darkening the shining goal
OF the sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and binder!
Let us, as the Master meant,
Make the world little kinder!

Vast Majority of Our Reading Prac.
ticaIly Worthless from q Lit
erary Standpoint

A cursOry glance through the various
magazines of the day presents to the
reader a very discouraging outlook and
yet one which has been long expected.
With a few exceptions, the vast major
ity of our reading matter is practically
worthless, from literary standpoint. It
is mere dainty bubble, good only for a
few short moments, and then breaks and
is gone. 1t has no stability, no worth,
expresses no meaning, teaches no lesson.
The world Of to-day, so far as literary
pursuits are concerned, Is like a small
child who reaches for the sweets and let's
the solid foods go untouched. Pleasure
first, by fair means or foul, is the motto
of the present day generation. And the
majority of our publications are awak-
ening to this fact and preparing to cater
to the public taste. Periodicals that
have hitherto occupied distinguished
place among the literary guides have
abolished to certain extent all matter.

AS a matter of fact, we take life too
