she had begun work on The Daily Blast, 1t also

said to her in his greeably incisive tones, You

CHICAGO, November 29.-John Philip

poser, is seriously i'll at the Auditorium
Hotel here from the effects of ptomaine
poisoning contracted in Milwaukee two
days ago. He was unable to conduct the
concert given by his band here last night.
being confined to his room in the care
of a physician and trained nurse.
Mr.. Sousa was taken Ill at Milwaukee
Tuesday night after a hearty meal of
prairie chicken. He attempted to lead his
band in the concert that evening. but
after half the program had been played he
was obliged to go to his hotel Medi-
cal treatment and long rest until noon
Wednesday counteracted the first effect
of the poison. and when his organization
left for Madison. Wis, he accompanied
the musicians, and Wednesday evening
again attempted to WELD the baton. His
strength failed him, however, before the
performance was completed. and for the
second time he was forced to take to bed.
The band arrived in Chicago yesterday
afternoon, and Mr.. Sousa was at once
placed in the care of a physician at the
Auditorium Hotel. He was forbidden to
undertake his work for several days.
House Physician Hammond said today
that Mr.. Sousa was considerably i'm
proved and that there is no cause for
alarm, but 1t will be necessary for the
patient to keep quiet for some days. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Sousa will have to
remain in Chicago until Monday.

KILLED EARLY TODAY
Five Factory Employees VIC
. Tins of Crossing Crash
At WATERBURY, CONN.
Special Freight Train Plunged Into
an Electric Car.
SIX OTHERS BADLY INJURED
Engine Struck Middle of Car With
Great Force-Flagman and
Conductor Arrested.

| WATERBURY,, Conn.,, November %
Five factory employees were killed about
$50 this morning, at the West Main
| street crossing over the Highland division
| tracks of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad. when an extra Hart
ford-bound freight train crashed into a
trolley car containing twenty-five per-
sons bound for the pin factories in Oak
vile. The car was struck with great
force directly in the middle and all the
passengers killed were badly mangled
Six others were badly injured and had to
be carried to their homes.
The dead:
Sarah Ryan.
Annie Corcorry.
Robert French, Watervile.
Walter Hayes.
Jane Kelly. .....- ....
The seriously injured:
Kitty Hanley. leg broken and scalp cut.
Margaret Mellon.
| Jennie Benson.
Sadie Allen.
Andrew Lepier.
| Aside from the Kitty Hanley woman.
| the others received scalp wounds, broken
bones and bad cuts, but it is not yet
known whether the injuries of any Va
prove fatal.
Flagman John Flavin and Conductor
John Dillon of the trolley car were ar
| rested. The motorman of the car, Charles
Leonard, was not held.
Conductors Alleged Fault.
1t is stated that the wrecked trolley car
was following closely behind another car.
| which had passed safely over the cross
ing. 1t is customary to drop the gates
at the railroad crossing on the approach
of train. but in this instance the gates
| were up. The f1agman, it is alleged,
waved his flag, showing clear track. Ac-
cording to the rules of the Connecticut
Company, which operates the trolley cars
| here. a conductor of a car must run ahead
| of his car as far as the tracks and aScer-
| tain whether or not a train is approach
| ing. This. it is stated, was not done in
this case.
There was absolutely no chance for the
engineer of the train to stop his train in
| time to prevent the accident. Although
he applied the brakes. the engine crashed
| into the trolley car. smashing 1t to splih-
tiers and throwing the occupants in all
directions. Many of those injured were
carried to nearby stores while some who
| were unable to walk. were laid alongside
| Of the tracks until carriages and ambu-
| fances took them to their homes The
| bodies of the known dead were cared for
| by relatives.
The fact that the Oakville Pin Company
is running short-handed at the present
time probably accounts for the few fatali-
| ties, for the car was only about half filed.
Ordinarily the early morning trolleys are
loaded with factory employees. the usual
| number of passengers being about
seventy. J.

Buffalo Robes Are Scarce.

Buffalo robes will soon be thing
of the past" said local dealer, who
has had six robes on sale this winter,
the property of a citizen who could
not afford to keep the precious skins
longer.
Five of them have been sold, and
while $500 has been offered for the
last of the lot, the dealer is holding
it for $500, the price demanded by
the owner. The robes are not unus-
ually large, either, and were undoubt-
eddy bought by people who intended
to use them for rugs, to retain as
curios, or for some such purpose.
Imagine a carriage being driven
about town, $500 robe thrown
carelessly over the seat while the
owner stepped into a business house
for a few moments Few people
would recognize the robe as valua-
BILE, however, as they have no more
style than the ordinary fur robe sold
at $50 or so, but the value is there,
as the purchaser will learn who pines
for the skin of a real buffalo.
81 remember we'll enough seeing
buffalo robes sell here for $40 apiece
thirty years ago." said an old timer.

The statue of William III. which,
it is stated, the Kaiser contemplates
presenting to London, is not likely to
have so checkered a career as the
equestrian effigy of the Prince of Or
ange which has literally withstood
the storm of centuries on College
Green, Dublin.
The Dublin statue has had many an
escape from destruction. On one &C.
casion a fervent patriot was found
astride the steed calmly cutting of
the head with a saw. Later still, In
the last century, the statue was
blown up with gunpowder. On that
occasion the late Mr.. Ralph Bernal
Osborne ESQ the story goes) sent an
urgent message to Sir Philip Cramp-
ton. leading Dublin surgeon, to at
tend "a titled gentleman" who had
been thrown from his horse in Col
lege Green and badly hurt.
During a strike of police in Dublin
the effigy was crowned with bat
tered tin can, which remained on the
head for some days.-Pall Mall Ca

about. And SO the hapless man was

about. And so the hapless man waa
abandoned to his awful doom.
There was narrow pinnacle OF
rock jutting from the Icy face Of the
mountain.
''If could only reach that point,
I might make my way upward" Mar
tin kept muttering.
But 1t was useless to think of
climbing in rubber boots. II that
cliff was to be conquered 1t must be
done with bare feet, or not at all.
Even then 1t was hopeless to at
tempt to scale the smooth, icy rock
without something more than his
bare hands and feet. In his dory
Martin had strong rope of consid-
cradle length, and with this he made
moose.
Again and again he cast the iasso
at the shap crag above. He was very
weak, and bordering on delirium; but
now the faint hope OF escape seemed
to give him almost superhuman en-
ergy. At last, when he was on the
verge of utter despair, the moose
caught on the pinnacle and held fast
How Martin ever managed to drag
himself up to the little jutting crag
he himself could never tell; but at
last, nearly lifeless, he reached it.
From that point OF vantage he con-
trived to zigzag his way upwards,
slowly and painfully, in constant peril
of crashing headlong to the beach.
Barefooted, frost-bitten, hatless,
torn, bleeding, and almost dead, Mar
tin finally reached the lofty crest.
Once on the summit of the mountain,
calling all his resolution to his aid,
he somehow or other dragged him
self to the camp, where he arrived
in fearful physical and mental con-
dition, having spent three days and
two nights in his icy prison. 1t was
found necessary to amputate his
frozen toes, and it was days before he
recovered from his protracted ordeal.

Wholesome Fruit.

1t would seem like a paradox to
say that fruit both warns and cools
the body, but such is actually the
case. Iu summer its acids temper
and equalize the heat, and in winter
its sugars warm. Sugar and acid, in
fact, are so equally balanced in this
food formed in the great laboratory
of nature that neither preponderates
unduly or to the detriment of the
other. We may take the testimony
of the birds as to the healthfulness
of fruit. The Arabs form a good ex-
ample Of nation that, to very
large extent, lives on fruit. Who can
be more brave than the Arab, or
who possesses more dash and elan?
"Give an Englishman his beef and
cheese" says a writer. BY all
means, we say, but let him and the
too, combine with them
good, wholesome fruit. AS we have
frequently pointed out in these COL
umns, the employment of fruit as an
article of diet is invaluable, and, we
are happy to say, that its consump-
ton in the United States is constant
ly increasing, and our California
fruit is the finest in the world.

LARGE BREEps OF sHEEP.

The large mutton breeds of sheep
are gradually displacing the merino
breed. and farmers are finding out
that there is something more to be
derived from sheep than wool If
low prices for wool have caused far
mers to turn their attention to the
large breeas the apparent misfortune
will in the future be looked upon as
a blessing. The English farmer would
consider it waste of time and labor
to keep flock of sheep for wool only.
The mutton sold in the English mar
ket is of the highest quality, and is
produced on lands that rent for more
than the same area can be purchased
for in this country, yet the English
farmer regards sheep as very profit
able.

Wages Good ..smellers" Earn.

There are several trades which
provide men and women with good
livings simply because they enjoy an
exceptionally keen sense of smell
Scentmakers. for example, need some
one with a very delicate sense of
smell to aid them In mixing the in
gradients of perfumes in proper pro-
portions. Queen Alexandra's favorite

ounce bottle, and 1t has to run the
gantlet of five professional "smellers"
before 1t is passed as being correctly
blended and ready for her Majesty's
use
Some of the leading firms of per-
fume makers pay their "smellers"
from ga to 81 week. Contractors
for the lighting of streets, large pub
lie buildings and pleasure grounds
very often engage ''smellers" to find
escapes of gas, one shilling being gen.
orally paid for each escape reported.
Some of these men frequently make
over f3 in single week, the result
being that in many cases the fee has
been reduced to Cd. per escape re-

Man as a True Sport.
By THE EDITOR OF LIFE.

Our hearty thanks ought to be Civ
en- to certain scientists and Other
great men for revealing the fact that
most foods which we like are really
dangerous to human life. The SIM
pie fact of eating harmless things
from day to day becomes so monoto-
nous for awhile that half the charm
is gone. When we are told, how
ever, that all oysters contain more or
less typhoid germs, that milk is in
fected with tubercle-bacilli; that all
meat and Ash are afflicted with pto-
maines and that fierce, migratory or
nomadic germs are wandering from
vegetable to vegetable, then the pro-
cess of absorbing food becomes a
genuine sport, enlivened at every
turn by the prospect of being cut
open for appendicitis, or having our
stomachs removed and renovated by
willing experts while we wait.
FL of 10 Being gamblers by nature.
Z: becomes truly a pitiable condition
when there is no longer any harm in
anything. One-half the pleasure of
INDUCING in what we know to be dan
gerous is the thought of what 1t may
lead to. Is there anything better,
for example, than hot mince pie?
Containing, as it does, practically
everything that is not fit to eat, so
many complications for the future
are bound up in it that our pleasure
is sure to be enhanced in proportion
to the varieties of danger it repre-
sents. There is pleasure in the act
of eating it alone, quite enough to
make 1t worth while. When we add
to this the thought of the suffering
that may come, the Joy of the act
rises at once to moral grandeur. 1t
is just such sacrifices as this that
show the differences between man,
the thinking being, and the brute
beast.
A dog foolishly and instinctively
avoids the things that are not good
for him. A professor of Greek eats
clam chowder, lobster Newburg and
ice cream because his intellect de-
mands it, and his stomach Graves big

game in the jungle. Now we do it in

Treasury Surplus For Roads.

A unique good roads bill has been
introduced in Congress by Represen-
tative John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
sissippi. Its object Is to distribute
the surplus in the Treasury of the
United States to the several States
and Territories for the sole purpose
of improving the roads therein.
The bill provides in effect that It
shall be the duty of the Secretary Of
the Treasury at the end of each fiscal
year to take an account of all the
funds in the Treasury and after de-
Quoting from said sums the amounts
required by law to be kept in the
Treasury, the remainder, If any, shall
be declared surplus. The Secretary
of the Treasury must then immedi-
ately provide for the distribution OF
this surplus, not exceeding $25, 000,-
900 annually during the continuance
of the proposed law, on per capita
basis to the States and Territories,
to be computed from the last general
census, and shall prorate the same
accordingly, for the sole purpose of
improving the postal roads in said
States and Territories, under such
rules and regulations as the States
and Territories may provide.-The
