IN WRECK OF WORK
TRAIN Is ARE KILLED
Fatal Accident on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
DEAD WERE MOSTLY ITALIANS.

Train Bearing Those Killed Stopped
at Station to Receive orders When
1t Was Run Into From the Rear by
a Gravel Train.
Trenton, N. j., DC. 17.-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about 40 more
injured in a collision which occurred
today on the Belvidere division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company near
Washington's Crossing.
The persons killed and injured were
laborers who were on a work train,
and were on their way to work at
Washington's Crossing to repair wash
outs along the road. Fourteen bodies
have been taken from the wreck and
one more is known to be under the
debris. The dead men, with one or
two exceptions, are Italian Iaborers,
who reside in this city, the others
being negroes.
The train bearing those killed and
injured was made up of two coaches,
in which the men were riding and two
fiat cars in the rear. The train stop
ped near Washingtons Crossing to re-
ceive orders. While standing on the'
track it was run into from the rear
by gravel train. The two fiat cars
telescoped the two coaches. There was
about 180 men on the cars. AS soonI
as the accident happened the Ital'
ians became frantic and made an at
tempt to bodily harm the crew Of the
gravel train
Word was sent to Trenton for police
assistance, but the men were finally
quieted by the foreman.
The railroad officials here are reti.
cent as to how the accident occurred,
but it is believed that the gravel train,
failed to see any adverse signal or that
the efagman of the first train failed toI
go back a sufficient distance. 4

Feudal Servants in Japan.

The relation between mistress and
maid or master and man in Japan is
a curious combination of the demo-
cratic and the feudal. 1t is something
Of an honor to be a servant, and the
inrikisha boys and grooms are not
such, but are called "tradesmen," IA
class which in Japan is only u degree
higher than the eta, or outcast
Grooms are excluded as betting,
gambling, cheating lot (the Japanese
think it impossible for a groom to be
honest, land the 'rikisha boys AS rough
people, without any manners.
A Japanese butler has to have suffi
cient knowledge of etiquette to enter
tain his masters guests if his master
is out. After rubbing his knees to-
gether and kissing and kowtowing, he
will invite you to take seat-on the
floor. He will then offer you Ave
cups of tea-it is the number Of cups
that signifies. not the number of call
ers-and, dropping on his heels with
ease and grace, enter into an atfable
conversation, properly humble, but
perfectly familiar. until his master
arrives to relieve him. Even then
he may stay in the room, and is quite
likely to cut into the conservation.
and to laugh at the smallest apology
tor a joke. The number Of servants
in Japanese household is large and
the pay small. They only get few
shillings week and have to board
themselves. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Rights Of the Weaker

Bishop Potter struck the keynote in
connection with the protest of the
citizens Of the United States against
the horrors of the Jewish massacres
in Russia, when he said that the rights
OF the weakest concern all men.
Why, it has been asked, should the
United States government 30 out of its
way to censure Russia for acts COM
mitted In that country and against
people who are not our citizens :?
Under the canons of international law
we have no right. but nations, as
we'll as individuals are now beginning
to recognize higher law, that of
humanity. When a government like
that Of Russia marks for extermina-
tion portion of its inhabitants,
the rights of these weaker people do
concern the rest of the civilized
world. Humanity is new word in
the code of international ethics, but
Russia herself cannot object to its ap-
plication. Her czar himself invited
the nations of the earth to engage in a
peace conference for the purpose of
substituting arbitration for war. He
evoked the spirit of humanity. and he
cannot object to the application of
the same principle in his own empire.
No man, nor any nation, dare say
may" to the question, Am my
brothers. keeper?' There is per-
sonal obligation and national obi.
cation, the stronger to protect the
weaker, and it is the concern of this
country that a supposedly civilized
government permits fanatical pop
ulace to slaughter at will helpless
people. .-Leadville Herald Democrat.

Here's to the dog poisoner: May

the belief held by many that dogs
have souls be tue, and when the
departing day of the assassin of dumb,
helpless brutes comes may his death
bed be surrounded by things formless

accompany him to the mouth of that
