IMMIGRANTS KILL
ED In WRECK
Half a Hundred Meet Death, Many
Being cremated.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-More than one
half of the passengers on an immi-
grant train on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad were killed and injured In
a collision today between the pas
senger train and freight near Wood
vile, Ind.
One hundred and sixty-five passen-
gers were on the train, and of these
forty-seven we're either killed out
right or were burned to death in a
fire which broke out in the wreck
age Immediately after the collision.
The names of all the dead will prob
ably never be known, as forty-flve of
the dead bodies were consumed in
the flames or were so badly burned
that identification will be out of the
question.
Thirty-eight people were injured,
and several of these will die. Eighty
others escaped unhurt, but lost near
ly all their baggage and clothing.

HOSPITALS

The average sailor is not provident,
and the unusual hardships OF the life
in the service and the increased
chances of loss of health make a
strong appeal for help. Under the
Marine Hospital system the sailor is
welcome to a comfortable home and
to medical attendance until ne is
able to return to work. The dread
white plague has invaded the ranks Of
the sailors, and an abandoned army
post known as Fort Stanton, and To-
Gated In New Mexico, has been set
aside for consumptive sailors. Vic
Tins Of the disease are taken there
from all the marine hospitals through
out the country.
The reports from Fort Stanton have
been encouraging as to the improve
ment Of the health of the men. The
post comprises thirty-eight square
miles of land, which is we'll irrigated,
and hay and garden produce are rails
ed. Range cattle thrive and In time
the Surgeon General hopes to make
the sanitarium seafsupporting. SO
great have been the inroads OF this
disease on the lake sailors that the
hospital at Chicago finds it necessary
to maintain a tuberculosis ward,
where the usual open-air treatment is
given. This hospital is under the
care of Doctor George Wright Young
and is the largest one of the service
on the lakes and occupies a command.

Michigan.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Mrs. Rus

Il shall keep only sufficient Of the
fortune left me by my husband to live

FOOT BALL GAMES
In CHINA.
Fifty Stalwart combatants on a Side
and the Contest Lasted for Days.
(San Francisco CALI

loan rTduCloCO Sdn.J
Cinnamon are, generally not credit
ed with being quick to accept innova-
tons. l so that when it is said that
Northern China boasts of several foot
ball teams good deal of surprise will
be evinced, Yet foot ball is no new
game among the Celestials, at least
among those of them who. inhabit
Northern China, and has been in ex-
istence number of years.
OF course, the game is not played
exactly according to intercollegiate
rules, and basket,or something which
looks like one, replaces the modern
foot ball. The Cinnamon, besides,
have no goals, and the gridiron is re-
placed by the streets of the town, in
which the deadly combat is waged
with fifty Celestials on side.
There is not a man among them,
however, who is not six feet high,
some of them are three inches taller,
while the average weight Is about 200
pounds. The men who form the team
are inhabitants of Northern China and
are typical of the race of giants pro
duced in that part of the world.
Lined up against them the knights

Harvard would appear as team Of
pygmies and the Chinese giants would

they could be induced to appear on
an American foot ball field. A club
with a collective weight of 1000
pounds could carry everything before
It.
The main idea In the Chinese game
of foot ball, as in the American, is to
carry the wicker-work basket into the
opponents end of the town. and this
is often done by stealth as well as
by brute force.
There are no twenty-five minute
halves, but the game Is continued un.

LEGALIziNG HORSE STEALING ON
ISLAND OF CUBA.
Said to Have Been Accomplished by
Some of the Cuban Generals for
Their Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Some Of
the Cuban Generals, who have been as

fed and legalized the crime of horse

according to reports that have reached
the War Department.

might keep their horses until they
could reach their homes Now these
horses had been stolen mostly, and the
individual soldier was told that he
must return the horse to it's owner II
the latter could show that the latter
. was registered according to the Gu
ban law. Each of the soldiers was CIV
en- certificate describing the horse
and the conditions under which he
might be returned tn the real owner.
Two facts made this reclamation
well nigh impossible in most cases. In
the first place only small proportion
Of the horses in Cuba were registered,
so that no matter how thoroughly
farmer could identify his own horse
in the possession of one of these reo-
els, he could not obtain possession Oh
the animal for lack of the registration
certificate. In the second place, inc
'disbanded rebels before returning %
their homes took care to exchange
horses, 80 that an animal stolen IN
Santiago would find a home in P1nar
Del Rio.
This state Of affairs was made worse
according to the report, by the action
of some of the Cuban Generals VINO
actually issued certificates in blank
to the disbanded soldiers so that
was possible for them to continue ID
definitely to steal horses, all that was
necessary for them to do being to plcA
out a likely horse. make sure that
was not registered. fill in the blank
certificate with the description OF the
animal and defy the owner to reclaim
1t. 1t Is only fair to state that the In
surgent Generals Indignantly deny tha'
they have given away any OF these
blank certificates, but the fact Is s'a
ted IN the report that such certificates
have actually been found in the hanoS
of disbanded soldiers.

A GOOD COW.
Story of One Animal of Jersey Strain
Who Paid Her Owner
Good Profit.

A dairyman who does not own many
cows, and those good ones, recently
gave the following figures concerning
one of his cows. pure-bred Jersey. to
the Ohio Farmer.
Her first calf was dropped in 1897
a heifer-now a valued member of the
herd. Her next calf came in 1898, with
a successor each year up to the pres
ent, making nine calves in all Three
were females and six males. The heif-
ers have been retained in the herd and
the bulls sold at an average of $50
each. Valuing the heifers at the same,
the nine calves represent an earning
of $3.50. With her second calf she
made test of $50 pounds of milk in
seven days, churning IA pounds, four
ounces of butter. Her average milk
yield has been $500 pounds, sold to a
creamery at an average of $1.20 per
100 pounds, an aggregate for eight
years of $720. Adding the value of the
calves to the amount received for milk.
her gross earnings amount to $1,000.
These figures are very eloquent for the
good special purpose COW, but were not
given to me, nor do I record them, as
anything extraordinary. An annual
yield of $500 pounds of five per cent
milk, while indicating a COW of great
merit does not raise her above thou
sands Of other good cows. She has
broken no records but she has kept
the faith. She has always had good
care, good feed and plenty of 1t. She
has been given a chance. She Is a
COW of robust constitution, a great
feeder, strong mixer and reliable
breeder.
Her feed had been the ordinary feed
Of the herd. Pasture and soiling crops
in summer, corn silage. mixed hay,
corn meal, wheat bran and oil meal In
winter. She has never been fed ex-
cessively. but has never gone hungry
nor in any way known abuse.
