THE TRAGEDY OF
STANFORD WHITE.

The death of great artist in ar
chitecture like Stanford White would
ordinarily be received with only
honor and praise for his large ser
vice to his day and his fellows. 1t is
thousand pities that this honor
and praise. while It must still be
paid as the due OF his professional
life. should be clouded by the out
come of what on the face OF it was
vulgar association Of the common
est type For how small a by-prize
has been smirched a career of dig
nifty.
There is no desire to prejudice the
case in respect to Mr.. White; nono
OF his friends, none OF those who
met him occasionally In the literary
and artistic circles OF the metropolis
but that had to like him,-frank, gay
and debonair, apparently without
a care in life. But what can be made
out of the facts Of this dreadful end
OF his life that can be kind to
Stamford White? The other parties
TO the matter, the woman, the MUIR
derer her husband, they had their
character their place well set out
in notorious proceedings,-th there Is
no surprise about them Such a man
as he ought TO have been, had no
right TO be seen IN that group. a
man OF the finest culture gained
abroad and at nome. not to mention
his genius; husband and father, as
well as friend and citizen-for he
was active for good government and
20 mcmber of'the city club OF New
York and yet victim OF such peo-
pie as the young Thaws! Moreover.
it would seem, not an innocent vic
tim, but for causes I'm his own con
troll "The pity OF IT., Iago! the pity
of &C.," Truthfully says the Spring
field Republican.

Echoes Of The
Custer Massacre


Monroe, Mich, June 20.-Mrs.
David Reed, one OF the best known
women OF lower Michigan, died at
her home In this city this morning a,
1880 o'clock. Mrs. Reed was sis
ter of Gen. George A. Custer. who
helped turn the tide OF battle at
Gettysburg, Col rom Custer, Lieut..
Boston Custer, mother OF Autie Reed
and mother-in-law OF Lieut.. Calhoun,
all of whom lost their lives I'm the
terrible battle OF the Little Big Horn,
in the wilds OF Montana, June %,
1876. The battle Is better known as
the Custer massacre and resulted I'm
wiping out the Seventh cavalry, com
posed largely of Kentuckians. not a
man escaping.
Mrs. Reed was eighty years Of age
and her death was indirectly due to
the fact that she never fully recov-
cred from the shock due to the
terrible fate which befell so many OF
tho family.

Why Roads Burn
Old Freight Cars
Hartman railroad Lines Give Out
Figures As To Cost of Repairs.

The Pennsylvania Railroad compa-.
ny, TO the great wonderment of the
average layman, has burned up in the
past several months several thousand
freight ears of small capacity, the
reason given out being that they were
TO be replaced by larger cars.
While this was one Of the reasons,
there is another OF which but few
people have much idea, and that is
the cost of maintenance. A freight
car has a certain estimated earning
capacity. figured out by railroad men
after years OF record keeping, and
there is in the life of most cars a
point reached when the cost OF keep
ing it in repair is greater than the
earning capacity.
II man owned house for rental
purposes. which had gone TO rack
and ruin and cost more for repairs
than he received in rent, II would not
take him long To- decide TO either re-
model the house entirely or tear il
down and build new one-and II IL
cost about as much to remodel as to
build, and il, after remodeling, he
would still have an old, out-of-date
house, not as large as he wanted, he
would certainly rebuild. So with the
railroad companies they prefer to
build lager and better ears than re-
model the old ones.
In this connection the Hartman
lines by making experiments with
1O,64l wooden cars for a period of
seventeen months, found the average
cost of repairs during the first month
$3.29: il increased about % per
cent. until the seventeenth month the
cost was S4.15. or course the in
crease continues to grow. at faster
rate, the older the car gets.
