1 Three methods of street traffic cause the
largest number of fatalities by accident in
big cities.
They are the railroads., which pass
through the city to their various stations;
the street cars and the vehicle.
In almost every CITY the street cars are
blamed for causing the majority of deaths
from fatal accident. though figures denote
very differently.
In New York, for example. statistics show
that go per cent of the total number of fa-
-~talities for the year 1901 were caused by
brewery wagons.
According to statistics obtained from the
Coroner's Office. st. Louis rolls up to date
1S deaths by the three most death-dealing
means Of street traffic.
OF this total forty-three deaths were
caused by the Terminal Railroad; ninety
four by street railways, and forty-six by
vehicles Of all kinds.
In the latter case the total may be even
larger, certainly not smaller, for no accu-
rately kept record is obtainable from run
Always and kindred accidents.
FATALITIES CAUSED BY RAILROADS.
The Terminal Railroad Company's quota
Of fatalities for the year 1902 to date, from
month to month. Is as follows:

At lust 1:25 o'clock Saturday morning came
the first blast.

An auger was used to bore a hole in the
upper corner.
Soap was rubbed into all cracks save at
the one anger opening.
~Nitroglycsrin was poured in. a fuse set

Then the robber inside ran from the build

was seen in the act by Miss Hattie Stier-
berger. a young lady living in the house
Just next door.
A resOunding boom followed.
This was what Weakened most Of the citi-
Zens. though few understood the cause.
The boom was the crash of the splintered
steel door of the vault. which gave the rob-
bers access to the safe.
The safe-blower ran around the bank and
re-entered the front door. the glass of which
had first been shattered and the lock forced.
His confederate-ther was only one ac-

Still another man told me calmly that he
wasn't the least bit scared: that he had
remained on guard all night at the bank
after the thing happened.
However. in the bank. it will be surmised.
the matter was not a joke.
There could be seen eloquent testimonial
to the seriousness of Unions event"
The plastering about the vault entrance
was blown away and the bricks stood forth.
The pieces of twisted steel which once
had constituted a vault door were heaped in
a corner, and beside them the safe.
The door of the latter was smashed; as
was the door Of the vault.
The heavy hinges were bent out Of any
semblance Of shape and the box of clock
work which had been the combination
looked like some battered piece of mechan-
ism which had been run over by a train.
And the cashier!
His eloquence was confined to q minute
description Of the missing bonds, drafts and
checks and the amount Of gold, silver and
currency.
But he was more than gIum when he
seyinced faint hope that the authors of all
the confusion would be brought to justice.
Luckily. funds were obtained promptly
next morning from Washington, Mo-. with
which to continue the banks business.

The Railroad operates seventy

This gives to the railroad a little more
than a fatality to each half mile.
Az the Terminal Railroad operates its own

ROUGH lime ON TRAIN.

Wednesday evening while the local
accommodation was en- route from Chat
tanooga a gang of toughs took posses
sion of the colored coach and drove the
inmates out, broke glass in windows
and doors, discharged pistols, and had
a general rough time of it, Supt. An
derson at once telegraphed for Sheriff
Mccullough, who was at Monteagle on
official business, to be at Jasper and go
on the train prepared to restrain any
outbreak. Nothing occurred until at
Copenhagen on the return trip when an
other outbreak occurred, and the same
scenes were being enacted as on the
previous day when the sheriff made his
appearance in the car and proceeded to
search the occupants, Everything was
quiet until the sheriff reached the clos
ct when he found an individual there
with gun in hand who made some
threatening remarks. Our plucky sher-
iff promptly covered him with his pis-
tol and relieved him of his weapon, and
would have taken him off the train at
Jasper to visit at his com mmodious hotel,
but friends interferad and begged for
his release. The sheriff accompanied
the train as for as here, and adds the
gun" to his collection.

Public roads make a better people,
and elevates US to higher plane Of
thought and action. There are few
things we need more than good roads
II we had better roads it would add
largely to the education Of our people
and their children.
We should not want the future gener-
ations to live as we do but, on the other
hand, it should be our desire that they
do better and it is our duty to help lay
the foundation because we live in time
it is impossible for them to live.
In the construction of good roads in
our time we do not have all the burden
to carry, ifit be called a burden. Those
who live in after years to help pay the
debt will have something which will be
worth the money they pay,
1t will be a greater harden to the fu-
ture generations to impose upon them
by handing them such miserable, bad
roads as we will necessarily do if we do
not change our road system, than to
hand them over a bonded Indebtedness
and good pike roads.
Good roads will make better schools
and good schools will make better peo-
pie and consequently we will have a
better country, say let US have the
road bonds just as soon as We can and /
am sure we will have good roads.
Very truly yours.

The design for the Palace Of Fine
Arts, the most important of the
buildings to stand on the hills
which form part of the site of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
has been completed
The Art Building will not form
a part of the main picture of the
Exposition. 1t will not be seen
from the lower plateau where the
big exhibit buildings will be loca~
ted. The Festival Hall aud the
Terrace of States will occupy the
brow of the hill and will close the
picture. The reason for. this is
that the Art Building is to be of
buff brick, which does not harmon
ize we'll with the white staff of the
exposition buildings below.
Cass Gilbert, of New York and
St, Paul, is the architect,
The hill where the Art Building
is to be located is heavily wooded.
To save the trees the Director OF
Works has developed an ingeni Gus
setting for the building The site
of the structure is very uneven
varying 40 #, in the elevation Of
its parts. Grading would necessie
tate the destruction of the trees
over a much larger area than that
occupied by the building. TC
avoid this the building has beer
surrounded with a terrace from
which a perpendicular wall of stat
reaches the ground. This does
away with the necessity for SLOPE

The East and West fronts are
treated for about half the length in

From the London Outlook
 Alexander and Caesar, Hannibal and Peter the Great must be accounted mere stay-at-homes compared with Edward VII. Before he was of age our then Prince of Wales, besides visiting most of the Euro pean courts, had passed across the At lantic-no holiday affair in 1S60-on his tour through Canada and his visit to the United States. He witnessed Niagara Illuminated and he saw Blondin carry a man pick-a-back across the falls. Side by side with President Buchanan he stood at the graveside of George Wash ington-the man who had wrested an em- pire from his great grandfather, George III. Later, under the guidance of Dean Stanley, he saw the Holy Land-so de- lightfully pictured last week by Lady Butler. He has ascended the great pyra- mid. He has steamed up the Nile and traversed the Suez canal. He has thread ed the Dardanelles with sultan of Tur- key and accompanied the remains of a czar from the Crimea to the Kremlin at Moscow The gories of Athens and of its modern northern prototype are alike familiar to him. From Colombo to Con- nemara. from Nepaul to Newfoundland this spacious yet daily narrowing globe of ours is to King Edward an open book.

Canadian Policemen.

Agnes c. Laut in Leslie's Weekly.
 Listening to the conversation of the Canadian mounted police as one encoun- ters them everywhere in the northwest, 1t is distinctly evident that they are men of a different stripe from the Tommy Atkins of the British regulars. The mounted policeman is a head, not an automaton nor fiunky. This was cur iously illustrated during the visit of the Duke of York to the territories last year. As the royal train drew In to one of thes- frontier towns, two liveried outrunnersi- dashed breathlessly to the platform ar shouted excitedly for the police ''to g. out the royal horses" The troopers dad the university type smiled and said notse cd ing; but one of the frontiersmen khaki drowned and took a bite of chet ing tobacco.
 The two little men in royal livery came apoplectic
 Don't you men hear? Get out the horses! Who's going to get out the horses?"
 The trooper in khaki again calmly took consolation from the insult from his to- bacco. Have some? No? Horses? Did you say horses? Well don't burst your buttons. What do you think you are for? Get 'em out yourself"
