Five Killed and n Score Injured by
Passenger Train Crashing into
Crowded Street Car.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Five persons were
killed and a score of others were in
jured in a collision between the Wis
consin limited passenger train, which
leaves here at six o'clock, and a Forty
third avenue street car, at Fifty-second
avenu last night. The street car was
crowded with passengers returning
from the Harlem race track, and every
la In the a was injured. The mo-
tormafs had received the signal to cross
and had just reached the center of the
track when the passenger train crashed
into his car. None Of the passengers
had tine to escape.
The blep1e for the accident is laid
by Mot.rmsn Kilroy upon the wet rails
of the track. He saw the danger in
time to avoid it and applied the brakes.
but the car slid along the track with
locked wheels. The passenger train,
which was running at a high rate OF
speed, struck the street car near the
center, cutting it squarely in two. II
was reduced to splinters in an instant,
and the force of the collision was such
that several of the injured were hurled
high in the air, and two of the killed
met their deaths by striking the ground
after being thrown up by the wreck.
The railroad people contend that nc
blame for the accident can apply to
them, because the danger signals were
properly set and there was 40 reason
why their train should not proceed as
usual. They say that the train was not
running faster than is customary.

What Neurasthenia Means.

No word is so common in these days
as neurasthenia: yet it 10 not easy to
define, and many of those who use it
have only the vaguest idea of what it
means. The word originated with a
New York physician and the malady
indicated thereby has usually been re-
garded as a distinctively American
one, though it is found in most coun-
tries of the civilized world, and the
unfortunate Mrs. Carlyle is now de-
clared by Sir James Crichton Brown
to have been "neurotic." Wear and
tear, storm and stress, a badly regu-
lated life, in short, r the causes usu-
ally assigned for this arrangement of
function resulting from the exhaustion
of nervous energy, but defects Of nu-
triton have much to do with it, and
the solution of the problem, as in
many other cases, may rest ultimately
with the cook.-Chicago News.

Thanks For Their sympathy.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The state de-
partment Friday received the following
cablegram from London:
Secretary of State, Washington:
Receipt of your cables, Thursday,
addressed a tote to Lord Lansdowne,
as follows:
American Embassy, London, Oct
l, 1903.
Dear L~ansdowne: Since my note
of yesterday | have heard from the
president and secretary Of state, who
desire me to express to you their great
personal grief for the loss of Sir
Michael Herbert. For many years they
have both enjoyed his close and init
mate friendship, and fully appreciated
and admired his great abilities, his
exalted character and his charming
personal qualities, which made him
very dear to them, so that the wholly
unexpected tidings of his death came
as a great shock to them.
Their official relations with him as
ambassador more than realized the
high expectations with which they had
welcomed him in that capacity. They
know that his brief official career hos
been marked by great service to both
countries in promoting amicable re-
lations between them. and l am to
assure you of their great disappoint-
ment and that of the people of the
United States at it's sad and sudden
termination.
believe me most truly yours,
JOSEPH H. CHOATE."
Friday received following reply:
Foreign Office, Oct. l, 1903.
Dear Mr.. Choate: | am greatly
obliged for your second letter as to
Sir Michael Herbert's lamented death.
The sympathy of the president and OF
The secretary of state are at the pres
ent moment precious in the eyes of not
only Herbert's many admirers, but OF
all who desire that those amicable re-
lations (which he did so much to pro-
mote should exist between our two
countries. | will ask you to be so
good as to convey to the president and
to Mr.. Hay on behalf of his majesty's
government our cordial thanks for
their appreciation of Herbert's char
acter and public services, and of the
loss which his country has sustained
Believe me to be, dear Mr.. Choate
yours sincerely, LANSDOWNE."

What a p%erplexing combination II Is.
that of luxurious tastes and consump-

suffer from it in different degrees! To
the very poor it is. of course, a tragedy,

are a forbidden joy, it is formidable

FOG Cure for Complexion.

The fog cure is the latest thing for
the complexion. The beautiful com
plexion Of the English woman is at
tributed to the continuous fog Of the
island and therefore some American
women have conceived the idea of
spending the winter in England for
the good Of their complexion. 1t is
probable that the English complexion
has other causes than this, but there
is one distinct advantage in a fog for
the beauty-seeker-namely, the abb
sence Of dust. The a of the COM
plexion consists, to a large extent, in
keeping the skin clean, and It is quite
conceivable that a foggy atmosphere
with no dust to lodge in the pores and
clog them might be a preserver Of
beauty.

AeARkSpnEgn
ETHICS OF
New York Women of Wealth
and Leisure.

One frequently hears that the wear
ing OF mourning is no longer fashion,
able. They who doubt should visit
among the smart set in New York.
On the day of the funeral a long Eng
lish crepe bow is attached to the
knocker, with white Japanese chrys-
anthemums arranged at intervals
down TIE streamers. For the first Pc
riod of mourning the coachman and
footman are obliged to appear in black.
The New York widow is graceful
and quiet. She understands the chic
effect much better than her western
sisters. She has an air of individual
ity which enchants even the casual OBJ
server. She always uses correct ma
terials and appropriate trimmings.
Her veil is draped with a %coquettish
effect, but it is only in the first weeks
of her sorrow that it is ever permit
ted to hang over her face. Soon she
discards it. and a becoming short veil
of Brussels is used instead.
The New York widow is never seen
with that narrow edge of white set in her
bonnet. She looks on it with re-
pugnance, because it attracts atten-
ton 1t tells all the world that she
is q widow in the second stage OF
grief, and that is not consistent with
the ethics of unhappiness. All the
toilets of her first black are trimmed
with English crepe, an expensive mel
ancholy material that clings to the
figure in a most graceful way. She be-
lieves in being eminently proper and
doing all that etiquette desires of a
mourner.
When second mourning days arrive
she wears soft folds of white crepe

lisse at the throat; then come Law
ender and all the attendant shades of
violet.
There are many eccentric ideas in
regard to the relations in New York,
and in search for some of these nov
elites the correspondent has come
across a most unique bit of furniture.
1t is in the shape of a mourning lamp.
In the New York home of a we'll
known society matron, whose sister
died abroad a few years ago, there is
a room furnished in remembrance of
the deceased relative. Everything in
the room is black, save the carpet,
which was made to order and has a
violet background, with black flowers
standing out upon 1t in somper relief.
The furniture is of richly carved eb-
ony. The curtains are black satin
brocade, and all the ornaments are
black.
But, says the Chicago Record-Her
aid, the oldest bit Of decoration is the
lamp, the only light producing orna-
ment in the room. 1t is black enam-
Ell, and stands Is inches high. The
shade is made of China silk, and a
miniature of the sister is painted upon
it.
Each year at the anniversary of her
relatives death this New York ma
iron has memorial services held in the
room, which is the only time that 1t
Is ever entered.
