A RACE AGAINST DEATH.

The story is more thrilling-and of
another kind-than Balzacs Country
Dcctor.''
Way up in the little mountain town
Of Thermopolis, in Wyoming, lives a
physician known hitherto to few save
lis neighbors At a mine near Nee
teetsee, 100 miles away. there was an
explosion. and a number Of men were
tadly injured. The doctor at Thermo-
polls was asked by telegraph if he
would come and relieve the suffering
Of the wounded. He instantly respond
ed:
81 am coming as rapidly as can
get there
The road from Thermopolis to Nee
teetsee is not paved-not even with
good intentions. It is rough trail
around precipitous cliffs and through
Geep winding canyons The only way
te go is by horseback and the journey
requires two days.
But DR. Richards rode the 100
miles in II hours
Fancy that ride! the discomfort of
it. It was made at breakneck speed,
changing horses as soon as one ami
NAL was jaded.
But men we're suffering-dying per-
haps.
Happily. says the Salt Lake Her
aid, which tells the story, the doctor
arrived in time to relieve the dis
tress.
1t was wild ride against death.
And heroism won it.
The Herald writer uses the occasion
to pay a noble tribute to the profess
sion of which DR.. Richards is worthy
member The compliment is we'll de-
served by the men of medicine who
count all but loss if by any means
they may save some.
Only the other day brave-hearted
physician crawled under an engine at
imminent danger that he might use
his hypodermic syringe to ease the
horrible torture of the dying engineer,
pinned to his death.
Honor and praise to such men

Gould Goes After Proxies.

aW Now York, Sept. Io.-ueolSe ..
r,ou,d took vigorous measures today
E ooinst Joseph Ramsey, Jr., president
+ e tho wabash railroad, in the contest
,hich has arisen between the two
mon over control of the road.
III Representatives of Mr.. Gould kept
the telephone wires in the financial
district busy all day long, calling up
j banking and dbrokerage-houses and re.
nuesting them to give proxies for their
holdings in Wabash securities to Mr..
I(sould.
This indicates clerly that the
/ about control of the property, if in
deed, it does not imply fear that at
the meeting at Toledo on October 10
Mr. Ramsey may show majority of
the voting securities.
It is said that the Gould interests
obtained a large number of proxies in
Wall street today.
A member of one big ban.,ine and
commission house candidly admitted
that, while his sympathies in a way
were with Mr. Ramsey, he had p,omiS-
ed his proxies to the other side as
he did not desire to incur the enmity
of the Gould interests
Had Mr.. Ramsey come to me with
similar request said this banker.
"before he issued his public appeal
tc the Wabash stock hol !ers he could
ha,e had proxies for al, the securi-
ties we control think. however.
that his public letter lost him GER
tain amount of sympathy How far
this feeling pervades Wall street
do not know, but | can state that
many of my friends and business as
sociates hold similar views
after all, it cannot be overlooked
that Mr.. Ramsey gained his position
and what fortune he has through the
infiuensce of the Goulds. While he
was employed on their railroad proper
ties, he was successfully advanced,
and it was directly through George :.
Gould that he became president of
the Wabash
In that capacity. under the circum-
stances, he should have served the
interests of his employers by carry
ing out their instructions without op.
position. so long as he was not called
upon to do anything of a reprehensible
nature, or inimical to the interests of
the road
Many brokerage concerns, however,
1t is said, have refused to pledge their
proxies to either side in the Wabash.
They hold stock in their own names,
for hundreds of out-of-town customers
who are in distant sections of the
country, and cannot easily be reach
ed. These brokers hold that it would
be an injustice in them to transfer
the voting power of the properties of
other men without the consent of the
latter.
Mr.. Ramsey still spends a portion
of each morning and afternoon at his
Gesk in the Wabash offices. He will
go to St. Louis in day or two

George Miller has returned from $
 two weeks stay at the shore. Josephine Donahue of Bank street will leave tomorrow on a vacation to
 New York.
 katherine McNamara of Bank street is enjoying the ocean waves at Savin Rock.
 Alice Warren of North Riverside street is home from vacation spent in Torrington.
 Miss Mary Duffy of Paterson, N. J.. is visiting her brother, Frank Duffy of Bank street.
 Dan Donovan, clerk in MrGrath's store. is on three weeks vacation to Rockaway Beach.
 Christine Reid of North Riverside street has left for vacation to be spent in New York.
 Anna Maloy and Margaret Dunn of Bridgeport are visiting Mrs James McGinness of Bank street.
 Mrs Charles Fisher of Springfield who has been visiting Mrs Joseph Spender of Charles street. has return ed home, accompanied by the latter.
 Last evening about 5:3O o'clock a woman was hustling along Bank street. evidently hurrying to prepare for the evening meal. She carried pail in her hand and couple of pack ages also. Just as she was in front of Walkers drug store she tripped and fell headlong to the sidewalk. Her bundles flew in all directions and the contents of the pail flowed silently along the sidewalk into the gutter. She picked herself up, evidently not much the worse for her fall, took her pail and continued her journey.
 For a time it looked as !. there was going to be a miX-up on Bank street this morning. While an iceman was delivering his wares in one of the stores. couple of Lithuanians start ed to look over his horse. The animal did not seem to mind them at first. but after while he became rather im- patient and commenced to throw his hind legs against the wagon. The men tried to quiet him, but it had no effect and finally the horse became entangled in the shafts. At that moment the owner appeared on the scene and and asked what the matter was. Upon being informed, he first extricated the horse and then gave the fellows whom he thought were to blame. some sound advice about attending to their own affairs.
 Extra care should be taken during the summer months that everything given to the baby should be just right.

 Two Italians chopped all days at an old oak on the Johnson farm on Vest chester avenue The oak was over 100 feet tall and thick at the base. A dozen men of the Street Cleaning De- partment were resting at a shanty near the oak and weren't paying much attention to the choppers. The Blon- dell boy was laying in the underbrusli in the shade of the tree.
 About o'clock the tree fell with a crash. It caught the boy and crushed him to death. Flying branches cut and bruised five of the street cleaners and wrecked their shanty. Frank Manchart. of s15 Trinity avenue. was cut about the face and breast. He re- fused medical attention and went home. Nobody knew the. boy hat been killed until some of the street cleaners found his body under the tree. Meanwhile the Italians had run away. leaving their axes behind. The police are looking for them.

TO SPELL WILKE.BARRE
President Instructs Post Office to Use
 Hyphen and Capital B.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug 25.-The agi- tation of years, which recently was discussed by numerous communica- tions, over the spelling of this city's name, has been settled by President Roosevelt. Hereafter this city is Wilkes Barre, with hyphen and capi- tai B. For some time the postoffice department, without ascertaining the wishes of citizens here. has made it "Wilkesbarre." and this has been a thorn in the sides of citizens who are full of local pride. When President Roosevelt was here on August 10 Mayor Kirkendall and Bishop Hoban told him about the history of the city and how it was named after Colonel Wilkes and Colonel Barre, and voiced the indignation of citizens at the arbi- traary action of the postoffice depart ment. The president was impressed and promised upon his return to ad- just the grievance. He did, and yes terday Mayor Kirkendall received a letter from him saying that the city's name in the future will be spelled Wilkes-Barre by the postoffice depart ment

 Charles Alexander, the gospel sing CT, was a fellow passenger with Dr Morgan. "I do not know how I would act" he said, If tainted money were offered to me. Is Rockefeller's mOn- ey tainted?
