Boston, Aug. 1.-THE Grand Army
Of the Republic and the affiliated or
CARNATIONS went into convention to
transact the business arising as one
of the most important features of the
national encampment. The meetings
of the various bodies give promise Of
unusual interest, for n reason, be-
cause of the existing spirited though
friendly contests for the different Of
fees. The accredited delegates TO the
G. A. r.. convention, numbering be-
tween 1900 and 400, assembled in
Symphony hall.

Only a Starter

Bishop Potter's model saloon where
men may drink intoxicants under the
influence of the church may be only
a starter for other similar i~ndulgences
made harmless by the touch of religion.
The use of profanity is a strong habit
with men. Nearly every man who
drinks whisky also takes the name of
the Almighty in vain. Perhaps the
new reform in New York may be ex-
pected to provide a means by which
men may swear under the direction of
the church.-Ottawa (Kan.l Herald.

A It Was Intended.

A certain clergyman reports the fol
lowing incident as occurring just in
side the entrance to one Of the largest
and most popular New York churches
during a crowded service.
1t was during the reading Of a pray.
er, and the entire congregation were
kneeling. A man of rough appear.
ance, evidently unused to ecclesiastt
cal surroundings, strolled through the
open doors and stared in apparent
wonderment at the silent and knesl-
ing congregation. He looked a mo-
ment, then, turning to the sexton, who
stood nearby, remarked, briefly:
We'll, this beats the DEVIL"
The sexton turned a serene eye on
him.
That is the intention" he replied.

A train was running away down q
steep grade on Saluda Mountain in
North Carolina. The speed increased
with every foot travelled. The air
brakes would not work. Trainmen
were helpless, passengers IN a state
Of hopeless fear.
Just at the moment when the worst
was expected the train ran up a short
irclino and stopped. The next morn.
ing in the New York papers, In place
Of the lists of the dead and injured
that might have been, there was the
story of how a safety-switch had
worked and had saved many lives.
This was q story of preparation.

THE RYEsHITELNI AFFAIR.
Japan Doesn't Intend to Have Mand-
tur Incident Repeated.

New York, Aug. 17.-Japanese jour
mails, in commenting on the Ryeshitneli
affair, state that the country does not
intend to have a repetition of the gun
boat Mandjur incident, says a Times
dispatch from Toxic. Japan, it is de-
clared, can not break up her feet for
the purpose of watching Chinese ports
where Russian vessels take refuge.
Confidence is expressed by the papers
that when the facts in regard to the
Ryeshitelni's capture are known Eu-
rope will indorse Japan's procedure.

Ingratitude pretty nearly reaches it's
limits in the case of a Brooklyn woman
who jumped from a moving train and
would have fallen under the wheels but
for the conductor, whose leg was
crushed, and who after a months suf-

has the woman expressed her obliga-
tions to the man who lost his life saw
ing hers, and did she make an
inquiry for him or show consciousness
Of his existence.

VALUE OF uMA LIVES.
Some Pertinent Suggestions Anent ths

some Pertinent Suggestions Anent ths
Duty of American Railroads.
The startling information is con.
Keyed in the report of the interstate
commerce commission, relating TO
railroad accidents, that during 1909
there were 9,S40 fatalities in America
from this cause. II is shown that
deaths from railroad accidents in this
country average one person 10 every
100000 that travel, while in Great
Britain the rate Is one death to every
As, 200, 900 passengers. The railroads
of Great Britain and Ireland in 1908
carried 1.194,S33,000 passengers, and
of these but 123 were killed and 1912
Injured. During the same year Ameri
can railroads carried only 694, 1871 ,535
passengers, and out of these there
were 355 killed and 1924 injured.
These figures also include employees.
The commission reports that since
the adoption of the airbrake the fatal.
tiles from accidents have been reduced
80 per cent. There are thousands Of
freight trains running every day
throughout the country without this
seemingly necessary appliance. Laws
enforcing the use Of airbrakes exist
IL, many States, and the reconimen-
daticn is made that 1t become a ma.
tional law.
From the appalling record as shown
by the interstate CONN cree commits
sion, 1t would appear that some great
railroad corporations. hold the value OF
human lives too lightly. Hundreds Of
Innocent children, affectionate wives
Rrd mothers, intelligent and lnvalu-
atle men are hurled into eternity in
an instant; any why? 1t is because OF
negligence on the part of the railroad
companies? II SO, then there must
be a remedy, and that remedy must
be reached through the laws of our
land. Modern appliances would pre-.
vent many accidents These appli-
aIces are in the shape Of airbrakes.

tens, crossing signals and many other
con%trivances that go toward reducing
danger
For years efforts have been made
l.. various States TO have enforced
laws that would compel the companies

Limit to Elasticity.

The injunction has been shown TO be
sufficiently elastic in it's scope, but the
limit was evidently reached when a
st. Louis pastor asked to have a rival
minister who had been his predecessor
~enioined from performing marriage
ceremonies, on the ground that lie was
not actively engaged in ministerial
work. 1t might have been held that
he needed the fees all the more for
that reason, but the aggrieved parson
felt that his preserves were being in
fringed upon and his sources Of rev.
enue sadly crippled.
