ACTION
AGAINST
CITY
Celeste N. LiStOn Asks for
Damages Caused by De-
fectiVe CrOSSwaIk

Celeste N. Liston today commenced
an action against the city of Salem
for the recovery of $10O damages for
injuring one of her feet on an alleged
defective cross, walk last December.
The injury occurred at the cross
walk at the intersection of Center and
Hight street, and was caused, so
plaintiff alleges, by the careless man
ner in which the walk had been re-
paired. While passing over the walk
she caught her foot on a nail, and has
been suffering from the injury ever
since. She alleges in the complaint
that she is injured to the extent Of
$500, but as the city charter provides
that only 800 can be recovered, that
is all that is asked for in the prayer.
L. H. MMahon is attorney for the

He is quite proficient in handling the

An Evening With Lovey Mary.


The junior class of the College of
Oratory, of Willamette University,
gave very interesting entertainment
at the First M. e. church last even
ing, which was decidedly novel. The
occasion was "An Evening with Lovey
Mary" Lovey Mary is a character
taken from the popular book, Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" The
program was in two parts, anj each
contained six chapters of the story
Those taking part were Misses Ger

to perfection. Mr.. Averill told all
about "a Denominational Garden"
in such a graphic manner that the
audience was convulsed with laughter
throughout the entire time. He then
told about the Wigs picnic on Labor
Day, and how Cuba the old fire horse
ran away This particular part of the
story is very amusing, and Mr. Averlll
brought down the house. Miss Hew-

A FOOLISH SACRIFICE.

Several lessons may be drawn from the auto
mobile accident near Rockville Centre, on Long
Island. The most obvious one relates TO the
folly, not TO say wickednesS, of driving horse
less carriage at high speeds in dangerous locali-
ties. Let it be granted that the grade crossing
Is an abominaton which must go. That sent-
ment has been expressed in these columns too
often for its readers TO cherish any doubts about
The Trlbune's convictions on that score How
ever so long as the grade crossing remains, the
public should govern itself accordingly. The
owner of the vehicle which wrecked on
Wednesday evening failed TO do so. and thus
three lives We're needlessly lost.
1t may be taken for granted that Mr.. Corell
was familiar with the approach to the crossing
where his automobile was struck by a passing
train His own homo was in Brooklyn, on one
side of it. and relatives lived in Amityville, on
the other No doubt he had traversed the road
many times before and had mentally noted the
POINTS where caution was necessary Some OF
his trips had certainly been made in broad day
light. Hence he could not have been in iXno-
rance of his peril when. after nightfall. he
drew near the fatal spot. Even II he did not
hear the train, parallel TO whose course he was
running, nor receive any warning from the
Waterman at the crossing, he should have
checked his speed sooner. He ought 10 have
known better than TO commit himself TO Il steep
grade without bringing his machine under full
control. Whether or not he was running faster
than the law allows he was sufficiently expert
enced 10 be aware of the risk he incurred. His
fnte and that of his friends, therefore, must be
imputed 70 sheer recklessness. This seems Ike
heartless verdict 10 pronounce on n man who
IS dead; but II is just one. It would be an IN
finite pity TO withhold the truth I'm n case like
tbis for it is &c be feared that scores of other
men are taking the same chances as Mr.. CorcIl

THE LAST OF THE PATRIARCHs.

Paul KRUGER has shared with Swedish Charles
the irony Of a misplaced end. The petty fort
ress and the foreign strand were no more in
congruous in the case Of the one than Ciarens
in that OF the other. What had the grim old
patriarch of the Beers to do with Jean Jacques
Rousseau and La NOuvelle HelOise? 1t would
have been more fitting had he fulfilled his prom
Use and awaited the coming Of the British in
vaders. seated Oh his Pretorian "stoep," pipe in
mouth, Bible on knee and elephant gun in hand.
Whatever had happened then would have been
not uniting. Had he been killed or impris-
oned. he would have been held martyr TO the
Transvaars cause; while had he been left I'M
moested, lie would have been Il thorn in the
British side. But that he should have SHINY
transported the bulk Of his great fortune out OF
the country, and then have followed it, to live
in luxurious exile, seemed a strange departure
from his earlier and sturder career
We must remember, however, his age, his
growing physical infirmities, his recognition of
the hopelessness of the Transvaal struggle, and,
too the fact that he was, after ALL only human,
and it was just average human nature for him
TO DO as he did If in his exile he was increas-
ingly Querulous and bitter that, too, was only
natural No autocrat enjoys being depOsed; es-
pecially one who is also a theocrat. He had
passed through many stirring scenes and had
