Safety or Maine Railroad Travel.

1t is much to be regretted that Maine
has had to have its share IN the
Terrible epidemic of railroad accidents
which are occurring this year in all
parts of the country. But this week

were lost and many persons severely
il, i,,rad cannot we'll be used as text for
a discourse against carelessness or
inofficicncy on the part Of the employees
| Of Maine railroads, nor for criticisms
against the construction and equip
ments of our lines. Although there are
over 1000 miles of railway in the state
and millions Of pasS"r gers are carrle''
each year. the loss Of life is very small
and il is many years since there has
been HI accident reaching the proper

a fternoon.
The blame in this accident will
doubtless I've located promptly by the
thorough examination which the rail-
road commissioners and the
Androscorgin county authorities have
inaugurated. and in which the railroad
officials will render every possible heln'

wonder is that. in spite OF all

consider the dozens Of trains that ar"

Parker's Present Character.

surrounded him during the past few

untruths and many half truths, be-

Particularly is this true in his quota

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes on the Current of Life in the
Metropolis.

Five hundred thousand people in
Greater New York, living in 10000
tcnements, will be directly affected by
the new tenement house law that goes
into effect October l. IF this law is
enforced" says the Brooklyn Eagle,
1T practically means the abolition of
the sweat shop-the greatest menace
to life, health, morality and decency in
the congested home districts Of the
working classes of the city. For more
than quarter of a century the re-
formers have fought this evil. Laws
have been passed and broken. Charges
have been made that officials We're lax.
In turn the officials have retOrted that
the laws We're inefficient. Now the
legislature has passed the most drastic
measure ever enacted in this or any
other country. Its enforcement will
result in a revolution of tenements. By
its provisions every sweat shop in the
cities Of New York state may be swept
out of existence. Tenement house
owners that hitherto we're seemingly
out of the reach of the officials are now
under direct control of the state gov
eminent. Under the new order of
things there is no possibility of evasion
or bubble.
