TRAFFIC BLOCKED BOTH WAYS

An ~eastbound fast freight on the
Baltimore and Ohio was wrecked al
Engles Switch, II miles east OF Mar
~tinsburg, on Sunday morning, block
ing traffic both WAYS for several hours
and sending passenger trains around
ths wreck by other routes Tie wreck
was caused by a broken truck in a cal
in tie front of the train. Seventeen
cars were piled mp in a heap oD the
tracks. and much valuable merchan-
disc was scattered around the scene OF
the smash.up. The wreck occurred
about s O'Clock.
The heavily loaded refrigerator cars.
were tumbled topsy.turyey. bottoms
up, over a 15-foot embankment and
their contents consisting Of lard, pack
ed in barrels and buckets, and meat,
were surewn over the meadowland
below. The cars containing the meat,
however, were better preserved, and
scarcely more than ice in the refriRer-
ator departments was lost. A great
deal Of neat was lost beyond recov
cry.
Tue track for 500 yards was de-
stroyed and was rebuilt with many
new rails and ties. and the heavy tel
egraph poles with their wires were
torn to the ground as the heavy cars
rolled over them. Some poles snapped
at the middle and were broken by the
great tension of the wires as they
were borne TO the ground,
More than half the cars are hope.
lesslv wrecked, and their demolition
is made complete BY wcTkmen with
sledgehammers to recover the iron.
Fortunately, but two fell upon the
north track, which was o cleared
by a wreckers train sent from Bruins
wick. and the e%astbound trains were
enabled to soon pass around. The
train was composed of 40 heavy
freight cars consigned TO Locust Point
or foreign shipment.
While descending the 1i1e.mile
grade, which isgvery steep and starts
at Hobbs Station. about seven miles
west of the point of accident, the
train seems to have gotten from under
the conrol of the crew and was max
ing great speed. having covered the
distance in six minutes. In rounding
a sharp curve the cars jumped the
track. J. L. Grim and Edward Sheri-
dan, of Cumberland. engineer and con-
ductor, respectively, had the train in
charge. The ~wreckage. was rapidly
cleared away aud the track recon-
sttucted under the supervision OF
Superintendent f. +. Blaser. of Cum
berland Trainmaster K. W. Wall, of
M~artinsburg, and Ct. b. Hodges. mas
ter mechanic, from Brunswick.
The excursion train for Baltim re
and Washington was sent around the
wreck by wav of Hagerstown. and
was delayed in its arrival in the
cities No one was hurt in the wreck.
The ex~cursionists returned home at
midnight, having been given several
additional hours in the city on ac-
count of the delay in arriving there.

An old Family Society.

The Buchanan society, as the name
denotes, Is composed of individuals of
the name and clan of Buchanan and is
the Oldest named society in Scotland.
1t was instituted in Glasgow so far
back as 1925. At a friendly meeting
Of some of the name of Buchanan held
there on March 5 of that year the fol
lowing proposal was made:
THAT the name of Buchanan, bein,
now the most numerous name in the
place, and many poor boys of that
name who are found to be of good
genius, being lost for want of good
education, fund might be begun and
carried on by the name, the interest
of which In time might enable some of
them to be useful in church and state
This society has since gone on with
almost uninterrupted success. 1t has
attained a position Of high Importance
and Is of great practical use.-London

GAME DOGS AND GAME.


Remarka BILE Instance of the Innu-
ence OF Heredity.
The setter ate the mutton chop greed
lily, but he would have none of the par
fridge bones.
"A good game dog" said his master,
"can't eat game. Its taste is repug-
nant to him. This is a remarkable In
stance of the influence OF heredity.
Game dogs have been trained for
many generations not to eat the game
the birds and rabbits and what not
which they bring back to their masters
in their mouths. They have been train
ed to consider that the eating Of such
game would be disgrace and an un-
pardonable sin, the same as bank
clerks have been trained to consider
that the pocketing of a few dollars
from the millions they annually han
die would be disgrace and a sin.
"And the result In the game dogs
case has been that this moral abhor-
renee of game, suggested to them by
their masters, has been transmitted in
Its passage down from one generation
to another, into an actual physical alb
horrence. In the matter Of game,
thanks to heredity, game dogs now are
never tempted. They can't sin.
at would be good thing for policy
holders II, in the same way, mans
moral Discrimination to steal had been
changed by heredity to an actual phys
teal aversion of other peoples money"

When a division Is called bell rings
to enable all NJ. P.'s to collect from
tho smoking room, the library, etc.
Then the outer door is closed, and the
speaker puts the question. There is a
shout of aver and Of mol" on which
he declares that either the one or the
other has it." II this be challenged
he says, 1.-THE ayes to the right, the
noes to the left" This means that
the "ayes" and the ''noes" go into re-
spsctive Hobbies.
This takes some time, for they go
leisurely. When at length they are
both within their respective pens all
the doors leading to them are closed,
and after minute or two the one door
through which the prisoners in each
lobby are to make their exit is opened.
Before reaching the exit they have to
pass on either side of a desk at which
two clerks sit and check off on a
printed list of members those who
vote. After this they pass In single
file through the exit door, which is a
few yards from this desk. Just out
side this exit door stand two tellers,
one representing the ayes and one
the noes" Their business Is to call
aloud one, two, three, four, and so on,
as the members pass. Consequently
for each division four tellers are nee
essary, two for the AYE" lobby and
two for the mo" lobby.-London Truth.

To northern eyes the Intense bril-
liancy of the tropical and semitropical
sky comes as revelation. Sometimes
at noon it is painfully dazzling, but the
evening is a vision of prismatic light
holding carnival In the air, wherein
Millions twilight gray" has no part.
Unless the sky is held In the relentless
grip of winter storm the orient holds
no gray In its evening tones; these are
translucent and glowing from the set
ting of the sun until the stars appear.
In Greece we are dreamers In that sub
tie atmosphere, and In Egypt vision
aries under the spell of an ethereal
loneliness where the filigree patterning
of white dome and mlnaret and inter-
lacing palm and feathery pepper tree
leaves little wonder In the mind that
the ornamentation of their architecture
is so ravishing in its tracery.-Cen-
tury.

THE latest report of the State Board of
Education sets forth in strong language
with figures to support the statement, that
there is great need for more and better
teachers than are now being supplied.
The graduates from the Normal school last
month nearly all had positions waiting for
them and the demand was not supplied.
A new Normal school is to be built in the
upper part of the state and that, with the
institution at Trenton, ought to relieve the
situation very materially. When the new
school is put into commission it might not
be bad idea to enlarge the scope of in
struction. While it is possible to get in
structors In the ordinary branches it is de.
cidedly hard work to get them for special
subjects. Some time ago, during the i'll
ness of the Principal of the Mount Holly
school it was necessary to get some one to
fill the vacancy. Two graduates of the
Normal school were called upon but bott
declined because of not being up in mathe
MATES. At the last election of teachers
for this school several graduates of the
state institution were called upon to teach
the commercial branch, but to no avail
and the Board was compelled to go tc
New York state for an instructor.

The blood is the life" Science has
never gone beyond that simple statement
of scripture. But it has illuminated that
statement and given it meaning ever
broadening with the increasing breadth OF
knowledge. When the blood is bad, or
impure 1t is not alone the body which suf-
fers through disease. The brain is also
clouded. the mind and judgement are
affected. and many an evil deed or impure
through may be directly traced to the i'm
purity of the blood. No one can be well
balanced In mind and body whose blood
is impure. No one can have a wholesome
and pure life unless the blood is pure
Foul blood can be made pure by the use of

SOME EXPLANATIONS made by Corpora
tion Council Record, of Jersey City, in
respect to his views on the tariff question,
are perplexing and disappointing to his
nearest friends. When Mr.. Record an
nounced that he was a candidate for United
States Senator the Democratic press of
the State generally gave warm approval.
Mr.. Record had made anti-tariff speeches
on the Democratic platform, and it was
naturally assumed by the Democratic
newspapers that as Mr.. Record had desert
ed the Democratic party on the financial
issue his views on the tariff were un-
changed, since he had never publicly
apostasized on that question.
Mr.. Record now says, 81 shall vote for
no tariff measure which does not receive
the approval of the Republican Senatorial
caucus, and will vote for any tariff meas
ure approved by said caucus. The only
possible exception to this course is that in
case of conflict between President
Roosevelt and Congress | might decide to
support the Presidents views" In com
ment on these words the Trenton True
American says: "Mr. Records declaration
Is not frank. 1t is a straddle. 4 Mr.
Records pronunciamento is about the
weakest thing that has emanated from
him."
But there is an inconsistency in the dec
laration by the corporations counsel that
has escaped his Democratic critic. Mr.
Record says he will vote for any tariff
measure approved by said caucus" 1t
might be asked II caucus rule at Wash
ington Is any better than caucus rnle at
Trenton. Wherein lies the difference
And If it is wrong for a man to be bound
for him to be bound by caucus rule at
Washington
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Record
was insistent at the organization of the
Legislature that men elected as Republi-
cans and who were influenced by him,
should not participate in their party eau
Gus or recognize any caucus authority
And yet Mr.. Record pledges himself to be
bound by caucus at Washington, with
out any reservation as to the character of
the bill or bills that may come up for eau
Gus action. Not because he shall have any
sympathy with the objects of such bills.
but simply and only because the caucus
approves of them. 1t must be affirmed
that the explanation by Corporation Coun-
sci Record requires some further explana-
tion.-Neaoayk 46doertlsey.
