Princess Victoria's Birthday.

LONDON, July 6.-Princess Victoria
Alexandra, the only unmarried daugh-
ter of King Edward, is celebrating her
thirty eighth birthday today. She was
born at Marlborough House on July 6,
1868, and is only one year and four
months older than her sister Maud,
now the queen of Norway. For some
years there were rumors Of a proba-
BILE marriage of the princess, but tn
princess did not seem inclined to give
up her independence, and now every
hope of her marriage has practically
been abandoned. She has an indie
pendent income of her own and seems
determined to live and die, as she ex-
pressed it, "the old maid daughter of a
king"

JUDGE M'Credie Renders Sweeping
Opipion al Vancouver
IN CONNECTION With NORTH BANK ROAD
SAWS HILL HAS RIGHT TO CON.
DENIM PROPERTY FOR RIGHT
OF WAY.

A sweeping decision was made when
Judge w. w. McCredie of the superior
court of Washington, at Vancouver.
Tuesday declared that the Portland &
Seattle Railway company can con-
denim a right of way over property
owned by the Columbia Valley Rail-
way company along the north bank of
the Columbia river. The decision is a
temporary victory for the Hill COM
pany over the Hartman corporation.
The latter will appeal to the supreme
court of the state of Washington.
Meantime the Hill people will push
construction of their railroad over
the land at contested points and en-
ploy every effort that is put forth by
aggressive railroad builders to make
their advantage permanent. 1t is said
to be doubtful if the Hartman COM
pany will succeed in seriously OBJ
company's north bank line, unless the
Hartman attorneys can secure i'm
mediately an order from the supreme
court to prevent the Hill company's
engineers and construction forces from
entering upon the contested rights Of
way and performing construction work.
The ground upon which the superior
court bases its decision is that the
Hartman company has not given suf-
ficient proof that its operations on the
north bank mean a bona fide construc-
ton and operation Of a railroad. 1t is
held by the court that the Portland &
Seattle has spent 100000 in the pur-
chase of rights of way and 100000
in actual construction work while the
Columbia Valley has kept only a
small force of men at work at strategic
points for the purpose of obstructing
the Portland & Seattle company.

one of the boys, Philip Johnson, IL
wears old had one rib broken and his
scalp lacerated.
The picture man, representing a
New York company, made contract
with Elihu P. Shirley, on York road
to use his place as the theater of the
imaginary raid on the chicken yard.
Each with a squawking fowl under his
arm, Johnson and a companion ran
down the road from the Ostensibly
plundered chicken house, while the
picture men chased them in counter
feited rage The affair was so realis-
tic that some neighbors, in righteous
indignation, fell upon the luckless
boys and pummeled them until they
were rescued by the picture men.

MAIL MEN WANT PROTECTION
Postal Clerks Ask Congress to
Assist Them
ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN MAIL CARS
STEPS ARE TO BE TAKEN TO
PREVENT FIRES IN RAIL-
ROAD WRECKS.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN MAIL CARS

Railway mail clerks have tired of
members Of their national organization
death by fire from the lighting ar
engagements of the mail cars. They
have therefore secured the Introduction
by Representative Jenkins Of Wiscon-
sin, chairman of the house committee
on judiciary, of a resolution directing
the postmaster general to notify the
railroad companies carrying the mails
that within a year from the approval
of the resolution they will be required
to furnish electrically lighted cars for
the transportation of the mails. AS
the mail cars are carried at the head
of the train, between the heavy en-
gines the heavier day coaches and
the still heavier Pullmans whenever
there is an accident or a collision the
mail cars have to bear the brunt.
There is always danger from escaping
steam and the coal fires from the en-
gines; when a collision occurs at
night this danger is increased tenfold
by the presence of lamps or gas jets.
Numerous fires in wrecks have been
thus started.
While the mail clerks are principally
interested because their personal safety
is involved the postoffice department
is deeply interested because of the
quantities of mail destroyed in such
wrecks from fires started by the gas
jets or lamps in the mail cars. Elec-
tricity would undoubtedly be safer for
the clerks and for the mails, and con-
sequently it is expected that the reso-
luton will be supported by the de-
partment as we'll as by the mail clerks
organization. The railroads will doubt
less oppose it because of the expense
involved, and the concern which now
has the monopoly of furnishing gas
equipment for such cars will also
probably try to defeat the resolution
No action is expected before next ses-
sion, but the matter will be brought
before the annual convention of the
railway mail clerks this summer and
it is hoped that the resolution will be
a6Onted at the next session of con-
gress.

DOWIE INSANE ALONG ONE LINE?
DR.. Church Testifies That His Mental
Condition is Monomania.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Dr Archibald
Church, Chicago authority on mental
diseases. pronounced Or" John Alex
ander Dowie insane on the witness
stand in the federal court DR.. Church
said:
Il should call Dowie's mental condi-

not dementia, however, as far as

DR.. Church had attended several
sessions of court when Dowie told Of
seeing lights. of hearing celestial mu-
sic, of stopping a shipwreck and Of
curing diseased persons with prayer.
In the course of the cross-examina-
ton he said a man might be insane
and still have mental capacity to get
100000. But, he declared, he might
make a mess of it, at any time. In
answer to a hypothetical inquiry, DR..
Church said:

SAVES BOYS LIFE.
Little Shaver Sleeping on the Track
Would Have Perished but for Doq.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., July "a
barking dog and the crew of a Mis-
souri, Pacific freight train saved the
life of a 5-year- son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Foster, who reside a few miles
south of Mynard.
The child and the family dog had
wandered upon the tracks. After play
ing for some time the child sat down
upon the edge of tie to fill can with
small stones, and while thus engaged
fell asleep. A train came along and
the first intimation which the crew
had that there was anything wrong
was the strange actions of the dog,
which, at the far-off sound of tie To-
connective, evidently started in the di-
rection of the train.
It's frantic barking induced the en-
gineer to reduce the speed of the en-
CINE in an effort to ascertain the
trouble. Two hundred yards distant
he sighted the sleeping child and
brought his train to a sudden stop.
The train crew saw that the child
reached home safely before proceed

She Was Conscientious.

A dumpy little woman with solemn

little boys came to the box office of a

Paralysis caused the body of the girl to
slump away below the abdomen until there
was nothing but zone and taut skin.
Braces were paced on her feet to prevent
them from becoming deformed, as she
gradually begun to get back sensation in
her eXtremities. The surgeons watched
her slowly improve.
They had her massaged every few hours
with cocoa butter, olive Oil. alcohol and
electricity applied to the muscles Of the
legs. Slowly the patient began to an
nounce the return of feeling in various
parts OF her body. When the paralysis
began to disappear the surgeons started
to teach her to walk. They got a big
steel jumper or framework for her,
modelled on the lines OF q baby's jumper.
and in this she showed and pushed her.
self around the hospital wards until she
grew stronger.
She was then taken to the Hospital for
the Ruptured and Crippled at Forty-sec-
ond street and Lexington avenue, where
the treatment was continued. The hole in
her back healed in ten days and the pa
ralysis almost completely disappeared
more than a month ago.
After that the Cepola girl used atpair OF
crutches for a While, but she is able now
to walk unaided by them and is almost as
perfect as ever she was. Eventually, the
surgeons say, she will be as we'll as ever.
She now drags her feet slightly and wab-
bles when she walks, but this is believed
to be due to the fact hat she has been
big TO learn to walk all over again.
