Thirty-five persons, all Mexicans but
three, lost their lives ana 55 persons were
injured Wednesday in a head-on collision
OF two passenger trains on the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific railroad near
Nolland, Kans. The wreck occurred while
Doth trains were running slowly on
curve III cut where the grade was
steep. Many of the victims perisbed in
the fire which followed the wreck. The
blame for the wreck seems to fan ON a
telegraph operator who failed to deliver
an order to one of the conductors.

The contest between the basket ball
teams of the Seminar and Baraca classes
i'm Academy han Wednesday night was
close and exciting from start to finish.
At times the game assumed the slam
bang character and some unnecessary
roughness resulted Miller started the
scoring by neat basket before the game
was fairly begun. Prefontaine then made
his first and only score From that time
on Perry stuck TO him like a plaster.
Miller Gagged another but for the next
few minutes the fight ragged around the
Seminars basket and two goals by Tay-
Tor and one by Perry made the score
six all at the end of the first half. In the
next half Taylor started the scoring and
gave the Seminars the lead but Jillson
turned the figures in the BIptists favor
by brace of lucky shots. Taylor and
Perry again turned the tide. Jilsou made
another throw and the classes were tied
u to T. when time was called BY agree
ment the teams played 10 minutes longer.
Prouty went in in place of Squires who
retired. Each side scored twice and
Perry's goal from a foul gave tile Semi
mars the victory.

THE BRACELET COCKTAIL.
Golden Trinkets Worn by Women of
Fashion.

The cocktail bracelet is the latest for
women, writes the New York corre-
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch
There are fashionable women of New

which sometimes contain Martini dry

one drawback. il Is said, and that is
they will not accommodate the cherry
that goes with the fairy cocktail The
other night a Pittsburg attorney OBJ
served a woman of fashion place her
lips to her bracelet. He thought that
she was paying tribute to her own
lovelness, but learned later she was
merely refreshing her inner self with a
mixture of cordals. The nip contained

Typical Case of City Bookkeeping.

The authorities Of Lakewood, O.,
have charged the city $55 a year for the
street lights supplied by the municipal
plant After looking at their tax bills
some of the citizens came to the con-
clusion that this sum did not represent
all the cost and called in firm of ex-
pert accountants, who ascertained that
the actual annual cost per arc had
been $123.56 for the seven years the
plant had been in operation, although
the lights had been run on the NOON
light schedule. AS private COM
pany offers all night service for less
than half that amount, the experiment
Is not regarded as success, except by
the lighting committee.

In these days even religion goes in
for novelties to attract attention. The
latest is the train prayer meeting. says
the Brooklyn Eagle. Suburban travel
ers are the ones approached by the
missoners, Messrs. Pritchard and Low,
whose first attack" has been made
upon the North London railway trains,
morning and evening. One plays hymns
OH a concertina and joins in singing
and praying. These services on wheels,
though occasionally resented, are not
generally disapproved. Indeed, many
business men, who crowd the carriages
at the times these services are held,
seem to enjoy them. So enthusiastic
are the originators over their success
that, provided sufficient funds are
forthcoming, they propose extending
their sphere of activity to other rail
way lines. They have received the
consent Of several railway companies
already who favorably view the new
departure.
