The people are losing respect for our

Is II any wonder that lynch law and
violence are taking the place Of legal
procedure? We think not. The won

archy arose from the weakness and

This thing Of shooting a man down
without giving him a chance for his
life is hOrTible-worse than some Of
the darkest crimes of the feudal age.
1t causes thoughtful men to wonder

PRESENCE OF MIND.
Gilt Edge Express Saved From De- Struetf0n by Timely Warming.

Gilt Edge Express Saved From De.
 Struett0n by Timely Warning.
 WOOD RIVER JUNCTION, R. l., Sept. 12.-Ths lives of train load of passengers were removed from jeop- ardy by the presence of mind of W. F. Clark of this,place and Charles Low of Boston, who rushed down the track and gave warning signals which stop ped the Gilt Edge express, bound from New York for Boston, in time to pre- vent it from crashing into a mass of wreckage caused by a. collision of freight trains
 In recognition of the efforts of the two men the passengers on the Gilt Edge express started a subscription and raised $156, which will be divid- ed between them. The train was sub sequently sent to Boston over another route.
 The freight wreck probably rresulted from a misinterpretation of signals, one freight containing large number of valuable horses colliding with an- other, demolishing four cars and in turing three men, one of whom, Mat thew Hatch of Providence, is not ex- pected to live. Traffic in both direc- tions was delayed nearly seven hours.

Detectives McMul len and Roach picked them out and turned them over to Detectives Farrell and Butler, who brought them to the police station and locked them up for being suspicious persons.

The other prisoner, George Munroe. said he was a machin- ist and belonged in Troy.

SOME BEAUTY DON'TS.
Regarding the Wearing of Jevve2ry. and We'll Worthy of Con-
 sideratfoD.

Don't wear jewels without first mak- ing study of your style and coloring. ad- vises the WashingtoReStar x
 Don't wear too manyd diamonds. They detract from the briliiancy of eyes and teeth If eyes are dull, they will appear more so by putting sparkling gems near them.
 Don't wear rubies, emeralds and sap phires with any shade of red. They are not for the maid or matron with Titian~ hued tresses or with hair that is frankly red
 Don't be afraid of pearls. Of all pre- cious stones they are the best to soften the face. Another equally becoming stone is the opal. Unfortunately pearls are tears" and opa1s are bad luck-to those of superstitious minds
 Don't despise coral, if you are 9 bru- nette. It is the stone which most be- comes you.
 Don't wear rings reck1essIy. Many or none is the rule. An exquisite hand re- quires no jewels, but the charm of one less perfect in shape is enhanced by g blaze of gems.
 Don't wear broad gold band. Anar- row one is much more becoming to the hand. The present fashion in wedding rings demands a slender circlet
 Don't wear bracelets unless you have the knack of turning the wrist to dis play the jeweled shackle to advantage
 Don't wear necklace if you have a beautiful neck. The lovely line from the nape of the neck is broken and it's value lessened by a necklace. .s
 Don't wear 8 string of pearls unless the neck is white. One less clear in color may have rubies or sapphires as the most becoming stones.
 Don't wear broad .band-one of sev- en strings of pearls, for rexample-unless you have swan throat.
 Don't wear earrings unless the ear is a dainty seaghel1. Then, If wisely chosen, the rings emphasize the best points in hair. features and complexion, and lend light and color to the face.
 Don't wear a long and pendant ear- ring if the neck is long. This style is for the woman with a short neck.

his place of abode, aroused him from his slumbers, and on his appearance at the door en deshabille, announced the object of their visit. He promptly denied all foundation for the story so far as the Central body was concerned. his remarks being deftly transferred to paper by the astute scribe.

 Much has been said in the past few days in regard to Controversy be- tween the International Typographical union and the Catholic church, owing to certain clause in the obligation that members are required to take. So far has this matter gone that out of otwn papers have sent reporters to Waterbury to interview both priests and members of trades unions for the purpose of making sensational stories knowing Waterbury to be both a strong union city and one where Cath olics predominate. But with all this newspaper talk it is one of the most remote possibilities for clash to come. The president of the l. T. U. is a Catholic and it is safe to say that more than 50 per cent of their 45,000 members are of the same denomina- tion But that is not the point. The Typographical union has been doing business for the past B years with the motto to Cherish and protect their rights as workingmen." During that time they have never discrfminated against race, creed or color Cor in case local saw fit to do so an appeal to rectify matters.) Thus far the Typo graphical local union has never at tempted to dictate to church or state and it is greatly to be doubted if it ever will, as body of this character gains wisdom with experience. It is t be wondered why this objectionable clause was not discovered years ago, and it is to be regretted that when it was discovered that it was not first shown to the proper authorities with a request that it be eliminated or modi- fled instead of spreading it broadcast through the sensational newspapers.
