ONE LESSON OF THE vERGENNEs
WRECK.

BY common consent the three fatal.
ties in the wreck on the Rutland rail
road at vergennes last Saturday might
have been ayohled but for the fact that
the derailed and overturned cars caught
fire from the stoves which were used to
heat the passenger coaches. When tile
cars became overturned the stoves emit
ted their burning contents on the wood
work and soon the horrors Of burning
to death were added to the terror Of
the wreck. II seems to be generally
admitted that no one Of the passengers
was killed outright BY the force Of the
collision, but that pinned down by the
wrecsage, three were unable TO extri-
cate themselves or be extricated before
the rush Of the flames had cut of all
chance for rescue. THIS OF course Is not
an established fact but one at least Of
the victims was seen to wave her hand
as if summoning aid, only to give up
and surrender to the awful torture Of
living incincration. It j. reasonable to
suppose also that both the other victims
we're not insensible when fire attacked
them, and chat thus they were tortured
to DEATH
It's terrible to think upon, but II af-
fords d tremendously powerful lesson Of
the obligations that lie upon US to make
all possible precautions for the protec-
tion Of human life. Had Che passenger
coaches in the yergennes wreck been
heated by steam rather than by the old
fashioned method Of stoves, II Is likely
that the newspapers would have chroni
cled serious injuries but no fatalities. IT

The mere announcement of the pre-

Thomas Dixon's great play 1.-THE One
Woman" should be sufficient to fill

is full of interest and contains love
story that grips and holds from the
rise of the curtain to the end of the
play. Love vursus socialism is the
theme anu it is an open secret that love
eventually triumphs. The scenes of
this great comedy drama are located
in California and Alaska. The play
appeals to a wider audience than Mr..
Dixon's other play, The Clansman, for
the reason that it deals with the great
est of all modern themes-the power of
love as effected by the movement to-
wards socialism.
