Horse Fell and Was Pushed Down
 Hill By Heavy Load.

: A man who is carting wood from the old Germania society's property on School street had an exciting ex- perience yesterday afternoon while coming down the hill near the school house on School street. This hill is one on which coasting and sliding is permitted and it is very slippery. When about half way down one of the horses attached to the sleigh fell and was unable to rise for some time. The heavily loaded sleigh could not be checked and the horse was pushed to the bottom of the hill. Many thought the animal was seriously injured, but when level ground was reached it rose to its feet, apparently none the worse for it's slide down the hill. A day or two ago the same woodchopper came near being killed by the sleigh swing ing around and pinning the horses to the ground. The driver escaped from being killed only by a miracle.

R. FULTON CUTTING.
Lecture Delivered Under Auspices of
 Hens Club of St. Johns.

R. Fulton Cutting, promine banker of New York, delivered a lee ture at Leavenworth hall last night under the auspices of the Mems club of St Johns church. Only small audience availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing this noted New Yorker.
 e, MT Cutting was. introduced by Hro- ace D. Taft. He was in excellent voice and delivered a very interesting address upon 'Idealism in Politics. ," He spoke In part as follows:
 'sThe idea of idealism in politics is simply democracy in the real sense. Or better. perhaps. democracy is sim ply idealism introduced into political life. It is the opposite clement to the materialism of politics. From the days offhe Athenian tyrants thaideass l. ism of democracy has gone on stead- fly winning victories over the mater ialism of oligarchy, aristocracy and revolutionary government"
 The speaker referred to the politi- cal and social history of Greece and Rome and to the French revolution ana stated that 1t was the element of idealism which had effected the great social and national changes in the aspect of those nations. MT Cutting continued: "When We bring the dis c1lssion down to modern life. We find that the same force is working for the improvement of social conditions. Idealism has been confounded with radicalism and after all a radical is nothing more than idealist at heart. He supplies the inspiration for all the great movements, the dynamics, as it were. Without him the conservative relapses into the reactionary. He keeps them all toeing the mark. And there is difference Sbetween radi- cal and a man of revolutionary theor- les. The former is closer to the flesh and blood of society than the latter. He is exceedingly essential to the up ward trend Of things. By his contin- uous energy he rouses the conserva- tive to action"
 After remarking that the three greatest movements in the last cen tury, the Reform Bill" in England in 1892, the unification of Italy under Cavour and the abolition of slavery in this country, were the result of the cooperative spiEit between the radi- calls and the conservatives, the speaker concluded his address with the follow ing appeal:
 ''Let us have something in munich pal government besides finances. Let us lrave an idealism which realizes the necessity of the dominion in gov ernment of the spirit of righteousness, Let there be an administration full of humanity, of broadmindedness of sympathy that will transform politi- cal life. There must be revolt against the materialistic tendency in l modern political life and the sooner it begins the better.'
 The lecture was much enjoyed by 1 those present and the speaker was ill terrupted a number of times by loud | outburSts of applause

THE wATERBURIANs.

The fifty men who will sing and act the role of the sailors of the battleship Iowa in the big musical extravaganza,
 ssThe Waterburians," next Friday and Saturday at Polls, received their suits
 last night at the rehearsal rooms. Each suit is of spotless white, having blue rollars and cuffs and the the same as are used in the training school at An- napolis. It is truly wonderful what the sailors have accomplished in the few short weeks they have been re- hearsing. They execute the Sailors Hornpipe and sing the great Heave-o chorus in a manner that would do jus tice to an old tar. The banjo girls, Red Cross nurses, Japanese maidens and Roman soldiers are also almost perfect in their parts. The pretty poses and catchy songs, intricate steps and pleasing tab1eaux are about ready for presentation. All day tomorrow the strests will be crowded with quaint and quiet Quaker maidens. jockeys re- Splendent in color, and gallant British cavalry. All of the 920 will be wend-

 $SO,eOO.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-Train robbers stole the iron safe from the ex- press car of the Sunset limited, north bound, on the Southern Pacific railway near San Luis Obispo and secured a large amount of treasure from the stol- en box, the sum being placed as high as S80,ooO.
 The Sunset limited was travelling in two sections, and it was in one of the express cars of the second section that the robbery occurred. The express mes senger, T. Sullivan, had two cars to look after, and shortly after the train left San Luis Obispo and while the train was nearing San Marguerite he discovered the loss of the safe. ! He had been working in the forward express car, and as soon as he went to the rear he made the astounding dis covery that the safe had been wrenched from the corner of the car, where it had been secured by heavy steel bars, and carried away.

A hundred sea captains walk ashore over solid ice from their vessels every morning to City Island Strong northeasterly gales have been piling up ice into the neck of the sound, and now cakes five inches thick are gathered in a great Hoe sixty miles long and twelve miles wide at New Haven.
