RAILWAY COLLISIONS.

Railway statistics of the killed and injured by rail
ways in the United States, for the year 1904, have been
approximately completed. They show that during the
year there were 3,79S killed and 56,119 injured, including
both passengers and employees. During that year there
were 6,224 collisions, costing the various companies
$~4,S49,054. 1t is thus seen that the companies and the
travelling public are alike interested in any Continuance
or invention by which collision of trains, either head-on
or rear end, may be prevented.
The plans at present employed for this desirable
purpose consist very largely of trackwalking and
duplicated meeting and waiting orders, given to conduc-
tor and engineer; while a few roads are introducing the
block signal by which it is said two trains are prevented
from beingson certain particular lengths of road at tie
same time. In addition, wireless teiegraphy is looked to,
as an important means of keeping trains from c%ollidtng,
wireless telegraphy was able to keep in touch with the
rapidly moving ship bearing President Roosevelt, when
that ship was more than 1000 miles distant, two railway
trains but a few miles apart should be able to keep in
touch with each other and with neighborng stations.
1t is said that wireless teegraphy is about to be adopted
on all the state railways of Germany, but so far there
has been no movement in that direction in this country.
In addition to these, the inventive mind is turning to-
day with much vigor to the making of appliances, cleo
trical and otherwise, by which collisions may be render
ed absolutely impossible, except upon the most criminal
carelessness. The Citizen gave yesterday two selected ar
ticles, one in the adjoining column and one upon page
three, detailing the particulars of a foreign and of an
American device, each of which seems amply able to
prevent collisions of every character. The attention of
the readers of this paper is invited to both of them.

WOMEN AND STAGE

The Chicago Woman's club believes the way to re-
form the stage is to reform it. This club has started a
movement for the opening of an independent theater in
Chicago where a stock company will produce dramas OF
good moral tone. The theater is to he supported by sub
scription and subscribers are TO be represented by a
board Of directors whose duty it VIII be to bar any play
that does not reach the standard in morals. The club is
composed Of thousands of representative women ana
there is no doubt If can handsomely support the theater.
Women's clubs elewhere, especially in the large cities,
where there is a chance of success, may take up the
matter.
The movement serves as a reminder of the fact that
reform of the theater must come from those in front Of
the footlights. The stage as it is is largely what its pa
irons have made it, In this country, the theater is purely
a commercial enterprise. We have no subsidized play
houses. And the theaters are managed not for arts sake,
but for moneys sake. Managers cater to the public taste.
They give the public what it demands.
And so is it with actors and actresses. With rare
exceptions, the ambition of the actor is not to make his
generation happier and better, to minister to truth and
beauty in such a way as to guide the spiritual life Of
the people. His ambition is to make a hit and draw a
big salary, and this often at the utter sacrifice of the
best traditions of the stage. 1t is not so much that the
stage is immoral, for it is not, on the average; but it is
unmoral-its purpose is to please its auditors, not to i'm
prove them The women of Chicago realize all this.
They are acute but friendly cities of present day ten
denotes. In their effort they deserve well.

WATER

New. Mexican: The development of good water Is of
as much Importance as the development of mines. 1t is
therefore gratifying to learn at frequent intervals of the
development of water in unexpected places or in an I'M
expected manner.
South Of Lake Valley. says the Hillsboro Advocate,
a heavy flow of water was encountered at a depth of forty
feet, which continued to rise until 1t flowed over the sur
face. Up to the time that the vein was tapped the out
look for water was so discouraging that it had been de-
cided to abandon the well.
The Tucumcari News tells of a successful expert
ment with a new type of pump that overcomes the in
flow of sand, which is the greatest difficulty encountered
in most pumping plants in New Mexico. The apparatus
consists of an air compressor, which is carried to the
bottom of the well casing, the air escaping through a
number of small openings which point upwards. The
pressure carries the water and sand upwards, until they
escape from the top of the we'll. This does away with
all cylinders, plungers, valve feathers and other parts Of
the ordinary pump which are worn out, by the sand.
The pump has proven such a success that the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company intends to adopt
1t for its pumping plants.

SAD FINE PRINCESS BROUGHT
TO EVERY DAY FELLOWSHIP
BY Hannah Farnait. in Delineator.

The Princess sat in a chair Of state,
A lady of high degree;
Her garments' sheen and her stately mein
Were a goodly sight to see;
The children cried as they gazed with pride,
Then ran to their games away
we must leave her there-she is far too fair
And fine for every day.
The Princess incurred her lonely fate,
AS she sat in her chair apart;
How | long for the bliss of a child's sweet kiss
And the love of a child's true heart.
One fond caress might spoil my dress,
So | never may join their play.
Unhappy me! 1t is sad to be
Too fine for every day.
The Princess fell from her chair Of state
twas it chance, or a bold design0
As the dog pissed by, and she caught his eye
And she never more was fine.
The children came from their joyous game
To soothe her pain away,
And she smiled to know, as they kissed her so,
She was fit for every day!

WHAT A

New York World: During the 16 years of the re-
public the government of the United States has paid in
salaries to its twenty-five presidents a total of 50, 700, 600.
During the last twenty years the Mutual Life Insurance
company has paid to three members of the family about
$4,000, 200.
Against twenty years of Richard A. McCurdy, Robert
H. McCurdy and Louis A. Thiebaud must be set off 1l6
yeasr OF George Washington, John Adams, Thomas JEFF
ferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy
Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin VanBuren, William Hen
ry Harrison, John Tyler, James X. Polk, Zachary Taylor.
Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce. James Buchanan, Abra-
ham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur,
Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William Mckinley
and Theodore Rooseyet-and with a balance Of 100000
in favor Of the McCurdys at that.
If the total salaries paid TO the twenty-five presidents
be added to the total salaries paid to the ~twenty-six vice
presidents the McCurdys will still have more than $4,000
the better Of it.

Japanese Salaries.

Perhaps the greatest sign of the westernization of
Japan was when it formed its parliament, only sixteen
years ago. The first meeting, a somewhat stormy one,
took place in the winter of 1S90.91. Japanese members
OF parliament are paid about $500 a year as salary, in
addition to travelling allowances, which they are not at
liberty TO refuse even if disposed to do so. The number
of qualified voters in Japan amounts to little over l per
cent of the total population. All electors must be twenty
hVe years OF age, and must pay IS yen, about $3.50 direct
national taxation.

Nine. du CAST, who so narrowly escaped drowning
by her persistence in being the last to leave her Inflated
motor boat, Camille, is by no means an ordinary sports
woman. In her time-and she is little, If anything, over
thityhye-she has devoted herself to almost every
sport. As a boxer, she could knock OUT many a man;
she can ride a bareback horse as well as a cavalryman;
and she is an adept with the fois, In addition to this
she has taken a prominent part in quite a number Of
motor races, and in the disastrous Paris-Madrid contest
she drove her own car.

Some New Tlme.savers.

There is no rest in this hurrying age, and the ma,
chine is made to aid the hustler. A German firm has
lust introduced a crockery washing machine which will
wash and dry 5000 dishes in an hour; there is an electric
shoeblack in America which shines six pairs Of shoes
at a time and takes only two minutes to do il; and an
American as lately invented a powder-wrapping machine
which is 10 reyolutionize that branch Of the drug trade,

which are consumed in this country and do the work OF
hundreds of hands.

The Citizen prints the news of today, the morning
paper publishes the news Of yesterday. Anybody can
see hat for himself. The Citizen yesterday gave facts
and figures showing that the principal part of the much
Vaunted news of the morning paper had been published
twelve hours before in the Evening Citizen. Now this
was hard on the morning paper, but it brought the evil
upon itself by its deliberate attempt to falsify facts.
Unable to answer The Citizens statement, which every
reader could verify for himself, the second fiddle this
morning had quite a screed of matter pretended to have
been taken from The Citizen. That there was neither
sense nor humor in the sereed, probably was as unayoid-
able as is the fact that the morning paper is generally
confined for Geographic news TO the mere elaboration of
what The Citizen has already told the people about
When the second fiddle says The Citizen is mad" it is
entirely mistaken, We never get mad at the folly of a
child and then, too, we have no doubt that the second
fiddle is G doing the very best il knows how.

The Insurance Press in its Issue Of Nov. J. has a long
article on the physical and mathematical impossibility
of determining in advance, the exact amount due on APP
pOTtiOnment Of policy dividend. or the most potent fac
tor in this impossibiity the Press fails to say a word.
OF course, the dividend of the policy holder cannot be
determined in advance because the actuary has no means
of knowing how much thieying the president may deter
mine upon for himself, satellites, politics, lobbyists and
legislators.

Tonto Power Canal.

The work now being done on the power canal at the Tonto dam is rap. idly nearing completion. The greater part of the penstock tunnel has been lined with concrete and the turbine placed in position. Only a few sec. tions of the canal remain unfinished and on the completion of these water can be turned into it that is so nee. essary for the cement mill and the contractors.
 It has lately been learned that up to date 19,000 barrels of cement have been used on the power canal and On work directly connected with it and of this the greater part was the product of the government cement mill at Roosevelt.
 Mir. O'Rourke, the contractor. has actively began work on the dam site The cable anchorages, blasted out of the solid rock above the dam site, are nearly finished and in a day or two the cables will be strung. Piles are being driven for the fumes that will carry the river water and those for the upper coffer dam are all in and filling will soon be begun. Upon the comple. tion of this the lower coffer dam will be put in place and the fumes com. pleted.
 The foundations for the sand plant have been laid and the machinery is already to be put in place. This is the plant which is to be erected to pulverize dolomite to be used as sand in the concrete work on the dam The dolomite is a magnesium lime stone and when reduced to a sand is found to give remarkable strength and a very compact concrete. It appears that the action of cement on dolomite is well known but not understood The plant will be located below the road and half way between the ce. ment mill and the dam site.-Gazette.

NORkMEN IN PARIS
TAKE. STRIKE FEVER
Navies Have Clash with Police
Employees of Credit Store
Block Collections.
New York Herald, Special Service.

Paris, Dec. 23.-At one time this
week Paris threatened to become like
st. Petersburg-a place of strikes. The
only talk was of strikes. The postmen,
who want permission to form trade
union, held a large meeting to decide
whether they would strike or not. The
energetic attitude Of the authorities
saved the situation. They said they
would dismiss all strikers. .r - -.
Navies at work on the underground
railway continued their agitation. At
first they were quiet, but as the strike
drags on they lose patience, and on
Tuesday they wanted to march to the
Elysee, but were prevented by the
police. Several of the latter were in
jured. @.-s
A third strike is not without humor.
Many Of the employees of the Dufayel
dry goods store, on the credit system
one Of the largest in the city, asked
for. the dismissal of two Of the head
men. NJ Dufayel refused and the men
struck. They promptly called on all the
people paying installments on the credit
system and asked them to give nc
money to any new collectors who might
be appointed. The brass band of the
Dufayel establishment accompanied
them to serenade the people owing
money and also made collections among
them.

NO CHRISTI OFF
+ FOR BRITISH PAPERS
Effort to Secure Suspension OF
Publication Next Monday
Has Failed.
BY Publishers Press.


London, Dec. 23.-But for the refusal
of the Times, the Daily Telegraph and
two provincial papers. the New Castle
Daily Chronicle and the Yorkshire Herr
aid, to fall i'm with the idea, there
would have been no newspapers eircu-l
lated thruout the length and breadth OF
Great Britain on boxing day.
Last year, when Christmas day fell
on Sunday, the directors Of the Sheffield
Daily Telegraph instituted notable
effort to secure Christmas holiday for
the news agents, compositors, newspa-
permen, stereotypers, machinists, and
hundreds Of other people who are en-
ployed in various capacities in the
preparation and sale Of the daily news
papers. They made appeal to all the
newspaper proprietors thruout the
county to suspend publication on box
ing day. The effort nearly succeeded.
Only fou London newspapers stood out
against the poposal and nine of the
provincial dailies. But unanimity was
essential to success, as naturally each
! of the newspapers agreeing made it a
condition that all the other newspapers
must do likewise. ~
This year another attempt was made
and tho there was more 'unanimity for
shutting shop, people will for an
| other yearat least, have their boxing
day budget of news. ~

MARIE CORELL| IS
CAUGHT BY CAME RA
Wicked Snapshot Artist Gets Her
..s Picture and She Gets
= Angry. H
Nv Publishers Press,

BY Publishers Press Pc. .r-.. r
London, Dec. 23.-Marie Corelli is
angry, very angry. 1t has always been
understood that Miss Corelli had as
great an antipathy for the camera as
for the interviewer. At any rate no
paper was ever able to reproduce the
features of the gifted authoress until
last week, when the Daily Mirror and
three weekly illustrated papers printed
a smiling presen'timent Of Miss Corelli,
which a snapshot artist declared he
had secured as the authoress was
stepping from her carriage. -
The Tattler, one of the enterprising,
otherwise offending, papers prints a so.
icitous letter which shows how angry
Miss Corelli is at being so ungallantly
taken advantage, of by a malicious
operator.
The photograph is characterized as a
desecration of amateur photography
and the letter continues: "We can
scarcely imagine journal catering for
your public, with some aspiration after
art and culture, SO far demeaning itself
as to reproduce an out of focus, ill
developed and disgustingly touched-up
negative, which by it's lack of any
claim to real photography only illus
trates the malice prompting the opera
tor Of the camera
