ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE.
Brakes Refused to Work, and Severa
People Were Injured.

People Were Injured.
New York, June 1.-Two electric
cars of the Union railway were in a
head-on collision at Yonkers and Jer-
ONE avenues.
The motorman of one car is serious
ly injured, while 20 passengers are
suffering from injuries ranging from a
broken leg to cuts and bruises.
An open car was standing on the
Yonkers avenue track when "a closed
car approached in charge of Motor
man Flanagan. Flanagan seemed to
have full control of the car until sud
denly the brake chain popped. He
threw on the reverse lever, but that
seemed to do no good.
The car was gaining momentum
speed with every foot as it went down
the steep grade, and when it struck
the open car it was going at a terrific
rate of speed.
The front platform was mashed and
the passengers were thrown violent
ly about
Mrs. John Leary's leg was broken,
while her husband received many pain
full bruises. Miss R. O. Toole was
severely injured internally. These
were sent to hospitals. Others were
treated by ambulance surgeons.

Nurses anu rnr u.ergy.

A prominent London clergyman, IN
referring to the fact that the tendency
to encourage the visitation by the cler
gy of the sick in acute cases is less than
it was, remarked that this is probably
one of the results of the more careful
system If modern nursing. which lays
stress ul The Importance of keeping the
sickroom quiet. The old idea was that
the friends of the sick person should
be allowed TO crowd into the room.
Now the nurse shuts them out, with
good results in the main. The nurse
has, therefore, become an exceedingly
powerful force in regulating the ar
rangements of the modern household
when there is illness in the home, and
1t often practically rests with her, more
than with the doctor, to determine
whether the patient shall be visited by
the parish priest"

Cotton Burns on Steamship.

Savannah, Ga, June 11.-Fire on
the British steamer Langdale destroy
ed 200 bales of cotton and damaged
others. The vessel lay at the wharves
of the Atlantic Coast Line, laden with
5000 bales of cotton, and with resin
and spirits of turpentine. The fire
was discovered in the cotton, and
quite near the naval stores. Hard
work on the part of the firemen and
the crew prevented the spread of the
flames from the cotton to the more in
1lammable cargo. The Langdale was
to sail Sunday for Bremen, but the
fire will necessitate postponement of
her sailing.

A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
a medicine is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it;
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bottle-wrapper and at
test it's completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated phySician-an experienced Spe-
ciaiiSt in Woman'S diseases; a remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emf
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; remedy which has
more bOTlG-tid6 cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of 0trial bottles to be
experimented with, but is sold at fair

ton as Yet.

Berlin, June 11.-"This is too sud
den" said William J. Bryan, with a
laugh, when he was told Monday of
the adoption by recent state conven-
tons of resolutions favoring his nomi-
nation for the presidency of the Unit
ted States in 1908. This is the first
announcement of this news to me-"
Mr.. Bryan concluded. Il have been
Off the main caravan route for some
time, and have been absorbed in what
l have been seeing and doing"
Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rap
idly since he left Vienna on Saturday
that letters and kilograms for him
did not reach him until today. AS to
the possibility of his nomination, he
had little to say, declaring it is too
early to speak of that question, but
taking up the subject of the politi-
cal requirements, he said:
Before leaving home tried to dis.
tinguish between Democracy and what
can properly be called socialism. De-
mocracy recognizes competition as
legitimate and tries to preserve the
competitive principle from attack. So.
cialism sees competition as an evil
to be eliminated by public ownership
and operation of all means of produc-
ton and distribution. While this
distinction between Democracy must
be one of progress and reform, and
not merely of opposition to Republic
an policies or socialistic IDEAS In
our fight for the absolute elimination
of private monopolis and for the reg
ulation of corporations in general, it
Is necessary that the party shall be
free from any suspension of alliance
with the corporate interests that have
been dominating American politics. To
this end campaign contributions must
be limited to those who have the puZ-
lie interest to advance l trust that
public sentiment will require all par
ties to keep their books open so that
hereafter no party will be under pri-
vate obligatians to shield corporate
Offenders"
Abiding to conditions in the meat
industry, Mr.. Bryan said:
"The beef trust is not different in
character and methods from other
trusts. The tendency of a private
monopoly is to increase the price of
product and to lower its quality. Why
should any one expect anything else
from a trust than the lowering of
quality when a monopoly is estab
lished. Observe | have used the
words private monopoly, not public
In a private monopoly a private in
terest is set up against those of the
whole people. Quite a different prin
ciple comes into operation when the
interest Of all is alone in view"
r. Herman Riddler, of the Ncw York
Zeitung and Mr.. Bryan had a long
talk Monday. Mr.. Bryan will leave
here for St Petersburg Tuesday and
from there will visit Norway and
Sweden. He will arrive in England
early in july, and then will visit
France, Italy and Switzerland. He

An anecdo4e which was current Of

violent thunderstorm. He eought ref

were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse flour. lie tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
ror of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were Scandalized that
such coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
ed that he had a will of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy
Finally the physicians pretended thai
it was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de
clared that he would never sign anoth
er official document if his diet were
denied him.
Emperor am" he shouted, "and
dumplings l will have"
To prevent a stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty clung tena
ciously TO his dunplings. Then the ira
perial phrase became proverbial. an(

sure to say:

GaStrOnOmic Triumph With "a Ma
tiOnaI Reputation.
This celebrated stew originated in
Brunswick county, Va, from which 1T
takes it's name-a county most famous
in antebellum days for its perfect
cuisine and gastronomical predilec-
tions. The originator was either Mr..
Haskins or Mr. Stith, each claiming
during a long life the distinction of
having made the first stew and dying
without proper adjustment of the con-
troverSy. While made everywhere in
the habitable globe, it is seldom made
properly. 1t was introduced in Paris
by Judge John T. Mason of Virginia:
Only in Brunswick county is this stew
so appetiZing, so piquant in the season
ing to be found in all its perfection.

a gentleman in the far south he re

follows: One of three kinds of meat Is
used-lamb, chicken or squirrel. III
chicken, it is first parboiled, cut up as
if to fry, the outer skin removed. then
put on In hot water-a-plenty to cover
it-a large onion cut fine, large slice
Of middling meat cut fine, black and
red pepper in abundance and salt.
After cooking until the bones can be
extracted, and hot water added If not
enough, corn cut off the cob and to-
matoes chopped fine are added. with
half a pound of butter, more pepper
and salt Before serving add stale
light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish
potatoes or butter Beans or any vege-
table save corn and tomatoes. Serve
In tureen. 1t should be the consist
ency of thick soup and very highly sea-
soned. 1t is considered one of the
finest of stews and has a national
reputation.-Ri Richmond Times.
