DEFIED DEATH TO SAY
COOLEY TO HIS WIFE


NEW YORK, Oct 2s.-surgeons at

heads when Robert Russell, MORALLY in
Jured, declared weakly that he would live
until he could say farewell to his wife
But ami am" he whispered. al
know l am-just until she comes Tell
the boys to pray for me to do it-just
until she comes 81
Russell was nineteen years old and a
brakeman on the New York Central rail-
road. He had been married only a few
months and lived with his bride, who is a
year younger, in a cosy little home at
$50 Southern boulevard. In jumping from
a caboose at Mott Haven yesterday he
slipped and the wheels of the car passed
over him. It was thought he had been
instantly killed, but the man to reach him
first heard him say: Get the little wife,
Jack. and you fellows pray for me to last
until she comes"
Russell was soon in the hospital and
that he was living was a miracle. 1t was
absolutely impossible for any surgery to
aid him, and while his brother brakemen
and trainmen stood in the accident WARD
the man. is was said, kept himself alive
by sheer force of will.
Mrs. Russell, brought to the hospital,
was met at the door. 'sYour husband will
not live a minute" She stilled her sobs
and went to him. His eyes opened ana
she took his head in her arms and kissed
him Russell smiled and then said SIM
ply. "Good-by, sweetheart. I'm going to
sleep now" moment later he was
dead.

MAY ELECT WOMAN
PUBLIC LIBRARIAN
1t Is Believed Library Board Will
Choose Miss Countryman or
Miss Crafts.

There is belief that neither Will
liam r. Watson, of Pittsburg, nor Geo.
+. Bowerman, of Wilmington, will be
the successor of DR.. J. K. Hosmer,
whose resignation as public librarian
of Minneapolis takes effect in Febru-
airy.
Persons who have watched the con-
test for the place are of the opinion
that either Miss Gratia A. Country
man, assistant public librarian, or Miss
Letitia NJ. Crafts, secretary of the
board and assistant librarian at the
state university, will be elected Ii
brarian for year.
In any event, the meeting of the IL
brary board next Friday will be as in
teresting as any held in the history Of
that organization.
At the last meeting, held early in
October, two members of the general
committee, Jacob Stone and E. c. Gale,
made a report favoring the election of
Mr.. Watson, and made no reference to
the other candidates.
This action was not approved by the
board, which ordered the committee to
report the names of all the candidates
at the meeting to be held next Friday.
In the meantime the friends of the
two Minneapolis candidates have been
active, and it is the belief in many
quarters that one or the other will be
elected for period of at least a year.

This decree was issued yesterday by
General Freight Agent Baird, of the
Northern Pacific, and hereafter all tariff
sheets of that company will class drome-
daries at one and half times the eques-

The decision rendered by Mr.. Baird
came through a request made by the
agent at Spokane for rate on two camels
from that city to Chicago. The camels
belonged to George Jabour until he be-
came involved in several attachment suits
and were then transferred to George
AkeH, Syrian, who was left in Spokane
when the Jabour troupe was stranded.
Akell pines for breezy Chicago and de-
sires to take his camels there. He blew
into the Spokane freight Offices of the
Northern Pacific and asked for the freight

the windy city.

Plahte got busy. Other employees of the
office declare that he rummaged through

Akell protested that his camels were

classify them as wild animals would be
decidedly repugnant to him.
Finally Plahte appealed to the general
freight office and yesterday Mr.. Baird
promulgated his decision.
Here it is: "A camel is horse and

injunction suits against the Boston &

attorneys on both sides, the two big rec

consisting of the evidence and dispositions
in the case, were submitted to Judge
Clancy tonight, and the transcripts were
approved and signed.
By this means the perfeeting of the
appeals was expedited by g. month, as
