NINE CHILDREN KILLED.

Trolley Car Struck by Train at New.
ark, N. J.
Newark, N. j., Feb. 20.-Running at
almost full speed a train on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road crashed into trolley car loaded
with pupils on their way to the high
school.
Nine children were killed. At least
thirty were injured, five so badly
that it is feared they will die.
The accident occurred at the Clifton
avenue crossing, long known as a
dangerous spot.
The trolley car was one of the spe-
cial vehicles which the North Jersey
Street Railway company runs between
and 9 o'clock five mornings in the
week for the special accommodation
Of high school pupils. 1t was crowd
ed with young men and women from
all parts Of the city, many of whom
had transferred from other lines.
The train which caused the accident
was the Delaware and Passaic ex-
press. There is some question a. to
whether both crossing gates xere
down when the car and train ap.
preached the crossing at the same
time.
The motorman saw the train and put
on the brakes with all his force. The
car, however, slid upon the icy rails
until the front platform projected
over the tracks. A moment later the
crash came. The pilot Of the engine
struck the front platform and turned
it over. The pupils, by the force of the
collision, were precipitated under the
wheels Of the engine. To some death
came Immediately, others fingered a
moment in fearful agony and then ex-
pired.

HELD TO BE A COMBINE.
Injunction Granted Against So.CaIled
Beef Trust.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The demurrer OF
trust" case was overruled by Judge
Grosscup in the United States circuit
court and a motion granted for a
temporary injunction.
There can be no doubt" said Judge
Grosscup, that the agreement of
the defendants to rcf..':.. flora bidding
against each otheT p.>hase Of
cattle is combin.t T.. ant of
trade; so also IL; 10 bid
up prices to sti:. -, mt, in
tending to cease /. :, when
the shipments hu,: we'd. The
same result follows n2.4 sc turn to
the combination of defendants to fix
prices upon, and restrict the quantities
of, meat shipped to their agents or
their customers. Such agreement can
be nothing less than restriction upon
competition, and, therefore, combina-
tion in restraint Of trade; and thus
viewed, the petition, as an entirety,
makes out case under the Sherman
act.
1T may be true that the way of en-
forcing any DEGREES under this petit
tion is beset with difficulties and that
a literal enforcement may result in
vexatious interference with defend
ants affairs. But in the inquiry be-
fore me l am not at liberty to stop
before such considerations. The Sher-
man act, as interpreted by the su-
preme court, is the law of the land,
and to the law as it stands both court
and people must yield obedience.
"The demurrer is overruled and the
motion for preliminary injunction
granted"

FLOWER AND TREE.

Planting a few trees every fall or
spring, as may be convenient, keeps up
the supply Of fruit.
The American persimmon makes a
handsome tree ornamentally consider
ed. 1t has dark green leaves that re-
main on late in the fall
Carnations do not thrive in the shade
and will not tolerate the presence Of
rank manure. They are easily grown
in any good garden soil.
One secret Of getting flowers from
potted plants Is to let them get pot
bound. When plant can no longer
keep on growing, it turns its energies
toward producing flowers.
BY yearly attention to pruning and
by good feeding shrub may be re-
newed from season to season and kept
always strong. Old and weak wood
should always be removed.
Ammonia is plant stimulant, not a
food. While it is useful to force plants
into bloom and growth after the soil is
exhausted, a fertilizer must be applied
or the plant will use up its own vital
ity in bloom.

Antiquity of the boomerang.

The boomerang, the Australian na-
tive's weapon of offense and defense,
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery Of Australia was doubtless
known before the time of Christ. Pliny
the elder, contemporary of our Sa-
viour, writes as follows in his Natural
History" respecting an instrument
made Of the wood Of the aquifolia:
eff staff made Of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want Of
strength in the person throwing falls
short Of the mark, it will come back
toward the thrower of its own accord,
80 remarkable are the properties Of
that tree"
It is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape Of the "staff" and referred its pc.
culiarities to the nature Of the wood Of
which it was made.

Twenty fifth Anniversary Of His Pom.
tificate Celebrated.

tificate Celebrated.
Rome, Feb. 21.-"It seems impossi-
BILE that it is twenty-five years since
have been there" was Pope Leo's eX-
clamation as he looked from a window
of his apartments into the sunlit pi-
azza of st. Peters. This was the pom
tlH's only reference to his long term
of self-imposed Imprisonment in the
Vatican, during which> he has never
gone beyond the palace grounds and
st. Peters. which is considered to be
part of the Vatican.
What a glorious morning for the
jubilee OF MY pontiticate," the pope
added as he proceeded with evident
pleasure to peruse the almost innu-
merable te egrams, letters and ad-
dresses Of congratuiation which have
reached the Vatican from all parts Of
the world
There was a long and tedious wait
before the ceremony commenced and
the audience was growing restless
when suddenly great roar of Long
live Leo" and Long live the pope
king announced the srrival Of the
pontiif. His holiness was borne in
the sedia rcstatoria on The shoulders
Of Eight Red-Robed Men.
The pope himself wore gorgeous robes
and had the triple crown ON his head.
He bestowed his benediction right and
left as he passed through the cheer
ing concourse, whose cheering was SO
great and whose desire to touch the
hem of the pOpe's gown was so intense
that the presence of the guards seem
ed really necessary for his protection.
Cardinal Ferrari, in behalf of pill
grimage from Lombardy, presented an
address Of felicitation to the pope,
who thanked the pilgrims and gave
them his benediction
Subsequently the presentation of
gifts occurred, including the gold
tiara, the jubilee present of the Cath
olic World, which cost $4,000; the
gold medal and the symbolic keys.
After bestowing the apostolic bless
ing the pope returned to his apart
ments amidst the enthusiastic plau-
dts of the multitude.

A MOTHER OF COURAGE.
rhe Old Lady's First Football Game
md Her Boy

The Old Lady's First Football Game
and Her Boy.
She sat in the grand stand waiting
for her first football game to begin.
Her boy had played it ever since she
could remember, and now he had made
his varsity team, which was her var
sity, too-her Cornell.
Two of his fraternity "brothers'' sat
on either side as Il bodyguard to her
gray hairs and as a bureau Of informa-
tion. They were happier than they
would have been with the prettiest girl
they knew.
She smiled with motherly pride
when she picked him out Of the squad
of red sweatcrcd "huslies" which at
length trotted out on the field. She
wiped away tear when Columbia
man fell across the line for a touch
down.
Then she surprised her bodyguard
by muttering under her breath: "Hold
'em hard, fellowsr' Twist their
necks!" "Push! Push!'
She explained her knowledge of
these strenuous technical details by
saying that her boy cried out like that
when playing dream games in his
sleep.
She did not faint when he tackled
too hard and failed to rise, although
his white face, with streak Of red
blood across the forehead, was staring
up at her.
"You can't hurt my boy" she said,
with confidence "He's just doing that
to get wind" So it proved.
He was up and at it harder than
ever within the time limit. The Itha-
cans gained five through tackle and
lost as many more yards trying to
round the end. Then something hap
pened.
A sturdy youngster shot out Of the
tangled elevens and dashed down the
field toward the goal Of the blue and
white. He crossed line after line Of
whitewash and finally was over the
last one the whole pack at his heels.
"Touchdown! Touchdown" cried the
crowd.
"My boy did it," said the mother,
and then she cried.-New York Trib-

for Their Cession.
Washington, Feb. 25. - President
Roosevelt has signed the agreement
drawn under the terms of the Platt
amendment providing for the acquisi-
tion by the United States of a naval
station at Guantanamo and a coaling
station at Bahia Honda, both in Cuba.
The document had been previously
signed by President Palma and was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squiers. 1t does not specify the price
of the properties to be acquired and
this detail is left to be settled by the
usual legal condemnatory proceedings
after the navy department has de-
cided exactly the amount of land it
wishes at each place.
With these two places properly for
titled as naval bases the Gulf of Mex
leo would not be possible of occupa-
tion by hostile fleet and the Carib
bean sea would be unsafe for an en-
emy. AS the names of the places In
dictate, Guantanamo, naval station,
will be the more important of the two
bases, and within a short time there
will be erected extensive coal docks
and perhaps a short line of railroad
will connect the port with the back
bone railroad already finished by pri-
vate enterprise. Bahia Honda will for
some time probably be used simply
for the storage of coal.

horses, the two brothers riding in the
car with him. The man was shot
near Merrif1eld, and the Bassannellas
were captured that day. They stated

guilty to the charge Of numbering the
Mclean county ranchman, he was
asked by the court If he anything tt
say before sentence was pronounced
In reply he gave a more or less accu
rate story of his life, and said that his
name was not Smith, but Bassannella
He said nothing, however, about the
Grand Forks crime, and the Wash
burn authorities did not connect him
with 1t. But the peculiar name at
tracted attention and the authorities
investigated, finding that he was the
man who was wanted there for the
murder Of Anderson.
