The railroad wreck at OatliD,
ILL.,, by which four persons we're
killed and q large number injured,
wac of an ordinary nature. Some
body carelessly left q switch open
after a freight train had taken a
siding, and a, passenger train for
which it.had cleared the track took
the siding also. Then there was
an explosion and the horrors OF
injury In a rhaes Of Vreckage We're
increased by the peril Of a tOrtur-
ing deatahI by fire.
1t is waste of breath to preach
against" carelessness, which will
continue to be displayed, even in
the face Of death itself. Neither
is it profitable to utter warnings
against railroad speed except an.
der absolute assurances as to the
clearness Of the track ahead.
Moreover, with the present pass.
enger ard freight car it is useless
to point to the need of methods OF
lighting and heating that will re-
duce to a minimum the danger OF
fire as an incident Of train wrecks.
But happily in this last particu-
lar there is strong ray OF hope
because the steel car seems to be
on the way, both for passenger
and freight service.
When the steel car has arrived,
and the wooden car has gone out
there will still be carelessness,
just the same, on the part Of rail
road employees who are intrusted
with duties that are vital for the
insurance Of safety. But the steel
car cannot be easily wrecked, and
when it is involved In a smashup
it will not burn. Heretofore there
has been a measure of safety in
the heavy sleeping coaches and
chair cars, because they are strong
enough to withstand the shocks of
derailmenta. When the steel car
is in general use there will be still |
greater strength, and no danger !
whatever Of fire; and then travel
ers will feel that, although Shey
may be subject to severe wrenches
under some circumstances, and
possibly painful injury by being
thrown violently across an over
turning car, they will have a
chance for their lives when the de.
rallied cars find their places in the
ditch.

Dear Sir, Our agent ought to sell
nine .tenths of the paint of his town
and region; no use to try for the other
tenth. The proportion of men who
won't take good advice, and use the
designations paint, is about one in ten
among even owners Of houses and
stores and shops and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money
and gets good chance.
Devoe at $1.75 a gallon is better than
gold; adulterated and short measure
paints are green goods or gold bricks.
the labor and wages of painting; it is
all paint; full strength and full meas
ure.
There is no such other paint within
ten per cent. Ten per cent. of labor
a1d paint are worth saving; and ten
is the least. There are scores of paints
that throw away half of both gallons
and labor on whiting. china clay,
ground stone, barytes, benzine, water
all they are good for is to make gall
Ions of nothing and look like paint in
the can; more gallons to buy and
more gallons to pay for putting on
gold bricks and green goods. Here's
how they work.
Judge l D Fairchild owns two
houses exactly alike in Lufkin, Tex as.
j II Terrence painted both houses;
one Devoe 10 gallons; the other
with another paint; 25 gallons. That
