wheels OF locomotive and coaches.
No blame attaches 10 the engineer, who
did all i'm his power TO prevent the acci-
dent, as II was clearly an error of tudg-
ment ON the part OF the victim.
The effect on Miss Wright's father,
George Wright, formerly boss rlgger IF
derricks in the Westerly Granite Co.'S
employ. may be serious, as he is more
than 20 years old and depended upon his
daughter, not only for material support
but for sympathy in the largest possible
degree. as his wife died some years ago
and Miss Wright had been a most affec-
tionate and only child.
Miss Wright was about 45 years old. n
member OF the Church Of the Immaculate
Conception and very popular in Wester-
ly, where she had resided many years.

FOOD
NOT MEDICINE.

H.. all the treatments for
consumption were put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm.
provement over the old treat
ment of rest, fresh air, sum
shine, plain, VIII olesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
m any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
censumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. IL there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tient to make that gain. Peo-
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion--it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen SCOTS

SLOsSON VICTOR IN
BILLIARD TOURNEY
Defeats Schaefer in Final C6ntes.
for Supremacy at New

BY Publishers Press.

By Publishers Press.
New York, April 21.-George Slos-
son tonight won the international tour
nament at 1872 balk line billiards that
has been in progress in this city for the
past two weeks, defeating Jake
Schaefer by a score of 500 to 396.
Playing game that was safe in the
extreme, Slosson at all times left the
balls in a hard position for Schaefer
to score, and from the beginning of the
twelfth inning was never in doubt.
BY tonight s victory Slosson finishes
first in the tournament, while the &c
ond and third prizes will be contested
for by Schaefer and Sutton, who are
both tied with four games won and
two lost. Hoppe, the boy wonder, will
receive fourth prize, and Cure, the
Frenchman, fifth, while Cutler and
Morningstar finished sixth and seventh
respectively. -,}'' .~1-~ -27-
Tonight s game was replete with sur
prises. No one thought for moment
that Slosson had a chance to beat
* the wizard.' Then men see-sawed in
the lead for the better part of the
game, and not until Slosson made his
run of 116 did any of the spectators
think he had a chance. From then on
the game was procession, and the
wizard could do nothing with the
worries, and finished far in the ruck.
Notwithstanding the safety play Of
Slosson, the game was finished in ff-
teen innings. Scores:
Slosson, 500; average, 80. 5-15; high
run, 116.

President Peckham today said that no
