Priest Braves Third Rail

Needless of the perils of the third

priest whose name none could learn,.
sprang from crowded elevated train
at Fiftieth street and Sixth avenue.
New York, and kneeling close to the
deadly current, administered the last
sacraments of the church to man
writing from the effects of fatal
shock.
Intense excitement prevailed in the
crowded cars. for nearly all had heard
the agonized screams of the unfortu
nate motorman as the electricity leap
ed through his body and stretched him
l'teless beside the contact rail. The
incident occurred on all express train.
Miller, the motorman, had left the
motor box and was crawling under
The truck to adjust the displaced fuse.
Tor moment those in the car heard
the dull taps of his hammer as he
worked at the motor and then there
was another flash and his body seemed
to be doubled up and thrown vio
lently backward several feet. The
force of this shock from the motor
landed him squarely across the con-
tact rail. AS his body touched it he
uttered a loud scream and then his
head and feet curled toward each 9TH
er for all instant, when he straightened
out limp and nearly lifeless on that
narrow foot-path.
At sight of his perilous condition
many women tainted and men drew
back to avoid the shocking spectacle.
Some Of the passengers climbed down
on the opposite of the train, but the
priest unhesitatingly leaped down
among the network of irons and went
directly to the injured mans side.

CHINESE LABOR ON CANAL.

1T would appear that the labor
unions have just ground for criti-
cising the administration of Roosc-
welt for its attitude in reference to
the employment of Chinese labor i'll
the Panama canal zone. The decision
of the president and his subordinateS
to employ Chinese labor in the con-
struction of the canal is in direct OPP
position to the former attitude of this
government. Indeed it would appear
to an ordinary person that it is iii
opposition to the laws of the United
States. Every person who desires
to become citizen of the United
States must first take oath that he
has not procured or been instrument
tai i'll procuring people to come to
this country under contract to per-
form labor, and under the Chinese
Exclusion Act it is little hard to
understand how Cinnamon can be
transported to the Panama canal zone.
That territory is as much United
States territory as is the state of Cal
ifornia or the District OF Columbia.
For several months past the country
has been assured that the work upon
the Panama canal would proceed as
soon as sufficient sanitary precautions
had been taken SO that American la
bOrcrS could work there in safety.
Now, after months professedly spent
i'll making the district sufficiently
hcalthful for white men to work in,
the country is advised that it is inn
possible to perform the labor without
employing Chinese. 1t is little
strange that this decision was not
reached sooner. Perhaps if it had
been the action of Congress in ref
erencc to the building of the canal
it would have been very different.

JEROME OR HEARST.

Mr.. Hearst continues to do good
service for the Democratic party by
serving as a sort of an antdotc His
campaign for the gubcrllatorial nomi-
nation in New York has so scared
the machine leaders i'll the Democratic
party that they are willing to nomi-
nate some independent Democrat like
Jerome. If Mr.. Hearst could smash
the Democratic machine of New York
without imposing his own personality
upon the party he would indeed rcn-
der great service to the party and the
country. 1T seems that he may ac-
complish just that result The New
York Herald of Tuesday had the fol! :.
lowing editorial:
"District Attorney Jerome is the

The call which the Herald is max
ing for the nomination of Jerome is
supported by the Globe and the Even

cases and this man is by far the
youngest whose case has come into
my hands,
Throughout the country for years
there has been rivalry as to who
was the youngest enlisted man in the
army, many hundreds of soldiers hav-
ing claimed that honor, but it is
thought that none can show by the
record OF service that he was younger
than Howe, who is now just in the
prime of manhood, being Sc years old
Mr.. Howe has been on the pension
rolls for a number of years, but re-
Gently applied for an increase. In his
application he states that he was born
August 81, 1850, and the record of
his service in the War Department
shows that he enlisted, in the Illinois
regiment June 5, 1861. At this enlist
lnent he gave his age as II years, ana
the record of his height shows him to
have been only four feet and four
inches. 1t is thought that he slightly
exaggerated his age to succeed in get
ting into the service. He was put
down as drummer boy, and his serv-
ice lasted for four months and four
teen days, when he was discharged
on account of disability, the real reason
being ''on account of extreme youth
fulness, being only 10 years of age"
Young Howe again enlisted in the
same company and regiment Feb. -,
1862, four months after his discharge
This time he served until March %,
1865, when his regiment was mustered
out of the service. At this re-enlist-
lnent he was II years months and Is
days old. Under both enlistments he
served three years and ten months.
The official records also show that
during the entire service of Howe he
was not absent from his regiment on
account of sickness or for any other
reason He was sick at Camp Shiloh
April 80, 1862, and also from Dec 81,
1862, until June 80, 1868, and again
Oct. 81, 1863. Otherwise his service
was continuous.

Hon. S. n. Hawkins. New Rich
mond's popular mayor, was in the city
during the week attending the G. A. r.
encampment. Mayor Hawkins, 1t can
be truly said, was among the youngest
to enlist in defense of his country,
having entered the service at the early
age of IA years. Having been rejected
at that time on account of his youth
he enlisted again in the Fifty first Wis.,

that Ireland has experienced warm
sympathy and generous support. Every
American is 1reland's friend. AS was
said, not the least hearted, GU,
spoken friend is the great man who
rules in White House as President of
the most powerful and most prosperous
Empire the world has ever known. On
the occasion of a visit from his
great rival, Mr.. Bryan, it was a grac-
ious thought TO make President Roose-
Welt also a participator in this enthu-
siastic National demonstration.
Nor was it possible at the demonstra-
ton for visitor or welcomers to ignore
the happy circumstances under which
it was held. Mr.. Il. P. O'Connor's
speech was full of confident hope o.
a speedy dawning of Irish liberty so
long delayed. He quoted with singular
effect the strong words of encourage
ment used by the British Prime Minis
ter to the Party of Constitutional lib
erty in Russia, The Duma is dead,
Long live the Duma!" The words re-
vealed the splendid prophecy made by
Grattan of his resurrection of the Irish
Party even at the hour of it's dissolu-
ton. Mr.. Redmond's presence and
speech at the reception gave to it a
character not to be ignored or denied.
He emphasized the entire community
of affection. sympathy, and support
that exists between Ireland and Amer
lea. Surely British statesmen cannot
fail TO notice the supreme significance
of this gathering. AS Mr.. Redmand
was the spokesman of Ireland MIR.
Bryan was the spokesman Of America
on the occasion. He voiced in elo-
quent words American sympathy with
Ireland and her National aspirations.
England cannot secure the good will Of
the nation whose friendship she most
desires as long as she denies the liber-
ty and justice which America joins
with Ireland In demanding.
