PASSENGERS ON BALTIMORE AND
OHIO TRAIN MtRAcULoUSLY
ESCAPE DEATH.
BROKEN RAIL CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN
JURED, ONE FATALLY AND
SIX SERIOUSLY.

Johnstown, Pa, Aug. "A train
from lockwood to Johnstown over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
wrecked eight miles from this city.
One woman was fatally injured and
probably half dozen others so badly
hurt that they had to be taken to the
hospital, while a large number were
scratched and bruised.
That the forty passengers on the
train escaped death is little short OF
miraculous. Owing to broken rail
the cars left the track, the engine and
tender remaining on the rails. The
baggage car rolled down the long and
steep embankment, turning over and
over and finally landed in the creek,
standing on the wheels. The smoker
went only part way down the bank,
turning over but once, and the follow
ing coach did not go SO far from the
tracks, being held in place by tele-
graph pole.
AS soon as word of the wreck
reached Johnstown special train was
made up and hurried to the scene,
carrying physicians and nurses, and
in two hours after the wreck occurred
the injured were being cared for III

WILL PROTECT CITIZENS OF LOU.
lsiANA FROM MISSISSIPPI
QUARANTINE GUARDS.
b.
COAST LINE WILL Be PATRoLLEO
MEN LEAVE FULLY ARMED AND
/ PREPARED FOR A STAY
OF SOME LENGTH.

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-To prevent
possible interference by Mississippi
quarantine guards with Louisiana citi-
Zens Governor Blanchard has tele-
graphed Commander Bostick to take
his naval brigade to the state border.
Immediately on receipt of the order
Commander Bostick dispatched two
squads of men on the oyster commits
sion schooner Majestic, lying in Bayou
st. John and which had already been
placed in commission, and prepared
for the Journey Fifty men were sent
out.
The Majestic is only one of five YES
sells which will be used by the naval
brigade. Two other schooners and
two launches will also be used. The
men are going fully armed and accou-
tered and prepared for stay Of some
length.
Captain Bostick said he could not
tell how many men would be sent out
in all, nor when he himself would go
to the front, but he would remain in
the city until all the vessels had been
equipped and manned and had left.
The first destination of the naval
brigade is the Rigolets, from which
place they will disembark to cover all
points in the Louisiana coast.
No physical clash has been reported
between the armed forces Of Louisiana
and Mississippi and there is an in
creasing likelihood that good judg-
ment will prevail and that hereafter
there will be no trespassing by the
people of either state on the pre-
serves of the other. There is no sign
of approaching amelioration in the
quarantine conditions, though the Ma
rine hospital service is gradually
bringing about bstter understanding
with the authorities in other states to
the end of enabling travellers to pro-
ceed to their destinations after due
detention. Aside from prosecuting
various sanitary measures all the en-
ergy of the commercial public here is
being devoted to the effort to educate
the panic stricken people of the South
that they run absolutely no risk of in
lection through commercial inter
course with New Orleans. Reoiling
and screening of cisterns went for
ward with great vigor and enthusiasm
during the day.

FEVER CASES CONCEALED.
Reason for Heavy Mortality Among
New Orleans Italians.

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-Concealment
until the cases are almost hopeless and
utterly inadequate treatment until they
fall into the hands of doctor are con-
sidered as partly responsible for the
heavy mortality among the unfortu-
nate Italians who have fallen victims
to yellow fever. 1t is said investiga-
tions have shown that heavy food like
macaroni and bananas has been taken
by members of the race after the
fever has fastened it's clutches on
them. That means almost certain
death, for in the treatment now pre-
scribed by the doctors no solid food
of any kind is given during several
days of patients illness. Milk is the
principal diet, with alkalin waters and
the Juice of watermelon to work on
the kidneys To allay nausea the doc
tors prescribe small pieces OF ice to
be dissolved in the mouth. Many of
the Italians die because they do not
get this treatment until too late. Com
paratively few outside of Italians have
been attacked and some of these eX-
ceptions are already on the streets
little worse for their illness.
The situation continues to be viewed
with something like optimism by those
Immediately in charge of the fight.
The public is warned not to be alarmed
because the number of cases and
deaths are more numerous than they
were a week ago and the doctors are
saving that for some time probably,
even with the most favorable prog
ress, there will be new cases and ia
talities. But so long as there is no
infection in the modern section of New
Orleans-that is, the large district
which lies above Canal street.-the
doctors refuse to believe that there is
any chance of the disease assuming
general epidemic form.

AN EFFECTIVE BAIT.
Clever Detective to Send After 6
Missing Debtor.

Clever Detective to Send After a
Missing Debtor.
A registered letter is mighty effective
bait. The Seyenty-eighth street wo-
man nibbled at the first throw.
''Of course it is for me-" she said.
''That is my name and that was my
siesyisgss before moved here. ''
Eyes, that part Of it's all right" the
postman admitted, "but it says 'es-
quire.' You're not esquire"
"No," sighed the woman, ''but I'm
sure
'Of course you are sure" he put in,
"but 1 can't leave the letter. This is a
registered letter, and we have to be
very careful of registered mail. The
best can do is to give you the name
and address Of the writer. Then you
can make inquiry and ask to have the
letter addressed properly"
The woman eyed the prosperous look
ing missive yearningly, but since the
compromise offered was the best bar
gain obtainable she accepted it. The
situation was puzzling. The name of
her benefactor was totally unknown.
Fortunately he was situated in down
town Office building, so Immediately
after luncheon she attempted to eluci-
date the mystery Of the registered let
ter Once inside the Office she recog-
nized her correspondent as the man
ager of concern to which she had
owed 50 for typewriting supplies for
the last six months She mentioned
the letter; the man produced bill
"It was copy Of this" he said.
"You had moved-we could not find
you-mere oversight on your part of
course-still, in order to keep our ac-
counts square-you understand
The woman was SO mad she wasn't
sure whether she understood or not,
but she paid the bill When she had
gone the manager treated himself to a
fresh cigar
Registered letters" he said, are
the best detectives going when the
person you are after moves frequently
and is guilty of no greater crime than
shirking little bill. An ordinary let
ter, even though forwarded to the
proper address, may elicit no reply,
but very few people can withstand
the appeal Of registered letter. To
bring results it must, Of course, be
improperly directed, so that the ad-
dressee cannot receive it. In that case
1t either arouses sufficient curiosity
to bring the delinquent down here to
investigate or is returned with the
proper address marked on the envel-
ope. In either event we get on the
track Of the debtor and are pretty sure
to collect the money."-New York

GERMANY DID NOT OBJECT.
Welcomes Visit of British Fleet to
Baltic Sea.


London, Aug. 4.-The forthcoming
visit of British fleet to the Baltic sea
appears more than likely to mark the
beginning of more cordial relations be-
tween Germany and Great Britain in
stead of, as has been suggested in
some quarters, adding to the friction
now existing. The proposed visit was
known to the German foreign Office
months ago and suggestions that OBJ
jections to it were raised by Germany
are unfouRded.
Ernest George Prettyman, secretary
to the admiralty, in reply to questions,
said definitely that no protests regard
ing the visit of the feet had been re-
ceived.
Friendly comment on the pending
cruise from German Baltic ports Gre
ates the belief that it will help along
King Edwards desire for good rela-
tions between Germany and Great
Britain and the announcement of En-
peror Williams support of the candi-
dacy of Prince Charles Of Denmark
for the Norwegian throne rs accepted
as an indication that the German ruler
proposes to work in the same direc-
tion.
The report is revived that Emperor
William will meet King Edward during
the latter's forthcoming trip to Marion
bad.

Austria-Hungary Not Encouraging En-.
iqration to America.

New York, Aug. 4.-Baron Won Hen
gelmuller, the Austro-Hungarian am
bassador, who has just arrived from
Europe, denies that Austria-Hungary
is encouraging emigration to the Unit
ed States.
There is a scarcity instead of a
surplus of unskilled labor in Austria
Hungary" said he, land farmers are
having great difficulty in getting
enough help to harvest their crops.
There was an abundance of such labor,
but emigration has changed the situa
tion entirely. Wages for unskilled
labor have advanced so that they are
now as high, practically, as in Amer.
lea and there is no object for laborers
to leave their native land"

HEAT AND TANNED SKINS.
The Miracle That Nature Performs
When Sunburn Occurs.

The Miracle That Nature Performs
When Sunburn Occurs.
There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated in the short summer, that
in winter turn pure white, thus match
ing the snow covered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change of color, this protection,
effected no one knows how, is wonder
full, as wonderful as miracle, and
yet a kindred change of color, kin
dred protection, happens among man
kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices it.
When the pale city people go out in
the summer sun at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
fercely, first reddening their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorching
it. If they kept in the sun enough,
and if no miracle occurred, the light
would kill them finally, burning Off
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But a miracle does occur. The skin
changes from pale color to tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect. The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin remains
always sound, unblistered, whole.
Thus nature works a miracle. The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that tan skin Is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do this? No
one knows. Only the fact Of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
it is not the hardening Of the skin,
but the change in it's color which pro-
tects it from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face yellow, and,
leaving the other side untouched, go
out in the bright summer sun for
couple of hours. The one side of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be infamed, blistered, while the
tan colored one will be quite cool and
unifurt.
Sunburn is miracle, protection
TO mankind as inexplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle of the arctic
animals change In the winter from
dark coats to snow white Qnes.--New
York Herald.

ADAPTABlLlTY.

Adaptability's sails are set to catch
any wind that blows.
To the man with adaptation an emer-
gency is an opportunity.
Adapta bilitv is the ability to adapt
yourself quickly to unexpected condi-
tions.
The bankrupt law is meant as an
asylum for men who are without adapt
ability.
When one plan fails the man with
adaptation has forty nine untried 9TH
ers waiting.
Adaptability is always ready, is nev-
er taken at a short, is the great light
ming change artist and often turns
hopelessness into victory.
A general in battle, statesman in
Office or a financier handling large en-
terprises without the ability to readily
adapt himself to suddenly changed con-
ditions is misfit.-From Cent Per Cent.

STRIKE SITUATION ON GREAT
NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC UNCHANGED.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
STRIKERS AND RAILROAD OFF.
GALS RElTERATE CLAIMS
TO ASSURED SUCCESS.

st. Paul, Aug. 4.-The telegraphers'
strike situation on the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads is prac-
tically unchanged. While the passen-
ger trains on both roads are kept NOV
ing very little freight is being handled
and only between important points.
Large quantities of freight in the ag-
gregate are being refused, particularly
perishable goods. Carload lots are
given the preference and handled
wherever possible.
President Perham of the Order of
Railway TelegAaphers and the general
managers of both roads reiterate their
claims to assured success.
Advices from the Willmar and Sioux
Falls divisions of the Great Northern
are that trains are being operated
either by telephone or are running
without orders.
A special from Grand Forks says
passenger trains are running as usual,
conductors taking the fares. The
freight and express business is, how
ever, described as badly crippled.
Advices from Minot, N. D., are to
the effect that 48 per cent of the sta
tions between Williston and Grand
Forks are in working order. Fifty
men are idle at Minot.
From Helena, Mont, advices indi-
cate that both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific are moving trains by
means of tagging system worked
by hand cars.
From different points in Montana
comes the news that passenger trains
on both roads are from thirty minutes
to nine hours behind schedule time.
Executive officials of both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific admit
that the strike is the MOST complete
that organized effort has ever brought
about on their systems. In spite of
this, however, they claim they are not
seriously crippled.
