FOURTH OF JULY CASUALTIES. IN
teresting facts have resulted from an in
vestigation of the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association relative to
Fourth ofJuIy casualties. The result ofthe
investigation is printed in the number OF
Journal Of August 90, and is somewhat
startling The article shows that young
and old America pay considerable cost
for their display OF ardentpatriotism out
side and beyond the first cost of the fire
works bought aud destroyed to make,
not Roman, but an American holiday:
The article says that 400 persons died
from tetanus or lockjaw alone from
Fourth of July accidents, which gives
some idea of the extentof the fatal casu-
alties. There were 466 deaths in all
from such source; 10 persons were
made blind, rs persons lost one eye, and
8, S9S persons we're injured in some other
way, the results in some of them being
stated to be worse than death. Every
case possible was investigated by agents
# the Journal. The article refers par
ticularly to the developments OF tesanu'
as a consequence Of the wounds from toy
pistols, blank cartridges and firecrackers

DROWNED IN FIGHT. The Ohio river,
between Benwood and Bellaire, was the
scene early yesterday morning OF another
fatal clash between striking machinists
and nonunion machinists of the National
Tube Company. William Pratt and
Andrew Anthony are known to have
been drowned and Holland Pratt Is
missing. TIE man who is charged with
causing the trouble-a nonunion ma
chinist-is under arrest at Bellaire. The
drowning was the elimination OF a mob s
attempt to catch the prisoner and other
nonunion machinists. The latter had
sneaked over to Bellaire to attends a street
carnival, and, getting too much whisky
aboard, b0asted that they were working
at Benwood. A bowling, furious mob
was soon formed, and the men were
cha ,ed to the ferryboat, which was lying
on the Bellaire side One of the non-
union men drew a revolver and shot one
of his pursuers, supposed to be Holland
Pratt. In the darkness there was free
for-all mixup. The nonunion machinlsts
were driven into the river, while three OF
the mob-the Pratt boys and Anthony
fell in and were drowned. They were
beaten with revolver butts by the Ben
wood workmen as they struggled. Hol-
land Pratt was to have welded sister
of Andrew Anthony next week.

CATHOLICS SHOULD Nor TAKE TIL

CATHOLICS SHOULD Nor TAKE The
OATH. Rev. DIR. p. A. Baart, pastor
of St. Mary's Church of Marshall,
Mich, in a sermon on education yester-
day said that no Catholic could consist
emily take or keep the oath Of some
labor unions, and he mentioned particu-
larly the typographical union, part of
whose oath be quoted as follows;
'G hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that my fidelity to the typographi-
cal union and my duty to the members
thereof shall in no sense be interiered
with by any allegiance that may now
or hereafter owe to any other organiza-
ton. social, political or religious"
Father Baart said this oath places th'
union before the church and before th'
state. and distinctly impeaches thu
LOYALTY and catholicity of those wh'
take such an oath. Possibly the leader'
NAV not have realized the full force o
The words they used in their oath, HI
said, but whether they did or not ever.
patriotic citizen and every sincere, con
sistent Catholic should demand tina
such an oath be modified and that the
Objectionable clause be cut out.

COSTLY SLEEP.-Sleep that costs 5000
night seems pretty expensive, but that
is what the Sultan of Turkey is now pay
ing for the privilege of more or less
tranquil repose. The money is received
by the members of the special military
staff which guards Abdul Hamid's bed
room, and which consists of two generals,
colonel, major, captain and several
soldiers. For their nights work each OF
the two generals gets 80 Turkish pounds,
or about $295; the colonel 40, the ma
ior 80, the captain 80, and each soldier
/, the entire amount aggregating slight
ly over 5000 in American money. The
officers and men get their fee every
morning Immediately after they have
been relieved. The expensive night
guard of the Sultan has been maintained
by him only since the recent assassina-
ton of the royal couple of Seryia. Of
course, the timOrOus ruler of Turkey al
ways has been particularly well guarded
at night, but the murders at Belgrade
scared Abdul Hamid almost out of his
wits, and he Immediately determined
that he would surround his bedchamber
with the most vigilant men who could
be secured and make i. to their interest
to protect him. The command OF the
special night guard is entrusted to eight
of the Sultan's most trusted generals,
two of whom are on duty every night.
Owing chiefly II this and other precau-
tions that the ruler has adopted recent
ly it is estimated that the weekly ex-
pense of running Yidez Kiosk is over
$50 600.
