THE RAILROAD FIREMAN.

with tireless hands he feeds the coal IN
the laundering monsters nav,
And hour by hour he trusts his soul TO
the God whom he never saw,
And hour by hour his life depends on the
care OF the other man
WIN. scanning the track where it slopes
or bends, keeps vigil as best he can.
Swiftly the miles go fitting away as the
tireless monster speeds,
And bravely he labors as best he may,
giving the food it needs,
And If dangers rise while his eyes are
dim as he looks in the fiery glare
He must trust to the skill and the care
Of him who watches beside him
there.
He may not sit with his arms at rest and
watch for the danger sign,
He may only hope that they do their best
who are guarding along the line;
Hour by hour his work is done and hour
by hour his fate
Depends on the care and the call of one
who may give him the word too late
The hiss of steam is the sweetest SONG
that ever he hears or knows,
And in every throb as they rush along
The worth of his toiling shows;
With tireless hands he feeds the coal In
the laundering monsters nav,
And hour by hour he trusts his soul to the
God whom he never saw.

HAS SOMETHING IN MIND"
Iieves VIII Be of Great Ben
eft to the Public.

New York, March GA remark
which John D. Rockefeller made to
several reporters before starting for
Augusta, Ca, led to the publication
of a report that he comtemplates an
other large gift to the cause of educa-
ton or philanthropy. In excusing him
self to Interpreters Rockefeller said:
u have matters of great Importance
to discuss with my son, matters Of
more Importance to the public in the
future than any chance remarks l
might make just now"
DO you mean that you contemplate
the announcement Of another bequest
to the cause of education?" was asked.
"All 1 can say" Rockefeller replied,
sis that 1 have something IN mind
which 1 believe will be of great bene-
fit to the public"

JEROME AGAINST THE DOCTORS

New York. March ga long stride
forward in the trial of Harry K.
Thaw was taken when District Attor-

haustive cross-examination of DR..
Britton D. Evans, one of the alienists
for the defense, had been concluded.
Or. Evans had been under fire since
Wednesday morning last. He was inn

DR.. Charles G. Wagner, Of Bingham

ans on most of his visits to Thaw in
the Tombs Mrs. William Thaw is ex-
pected to be the next figure in the
witness chair. With Mrs. Thaw's tes-

have completed its case and it seems
likely that the states case in rebuttal

Odd Railroad Accident.

One of the most remarkable railroad
accidents in the history of the Penn.
sylvania railroad happened to one of
the big locomotives used in hauling
high class freight. The train was go,
ing east at high speed, and as it
neared Duncannon the front truck OF
the engine and pilot suddenly flew OF
and were hurled with a crash against
a fence. says an Altoona (Pa.) cores.
pendent of the Philadelphia Record.
Engineer w. B. Glazier heard thte
noise and felt the Jar of the big ma
chine, but he could not locate the
cause. He leaned out of the car win,
dow, but could see nothing unusual
After the train had gone some dis
lance Fireman Frank Beverlin made
an investigation and discovered that
the truck was missing.
He reported it to the engineer, but
he could neither stop nor go back, and
as the locomotive appeared to be work
ing all right they kept right along and
took the train into Harrisburg on time
What aYerted a Dile-up is q mystery.

Infuence of Castro,s VIE.

Caracas, Venezuela, March 5.-vIce
President Gomez paid a visit to Pres

president is convalescent. The visit,
which is said to have been brought
about through the efforts of the presi-
dents wife, is reported to have result
ed in the establishment of the
friendship between Castro and Gomez.
It has won the admiration Of Vene-
zuelans, who are not accustomed TO
seeing women intervene in public az

FIVE POINTS IN ALIENTSM
Both Experts Draw Some Close Dis
tincfions.

In explaining Thaw's actions subse-
Quent to the shooting-his quiet de-
meanor, his directions as to what
should be done with his wife, and who
should be sent for-Dr. Evans declared
that as soon as the defendant shot
Stanford White the brain storm sub
sided, and his senses began to reor-
ganiZe themselves so that the man
knew quite we'll what he was about.
He also knew he was attacking Stan
ford White when he shot, Dr. Evans
admitted. but the knowledge was that
of an insane man and the act was the
result of insane reasoning.
DR.. Wagner also declared that Thaw
had irrational knowledge of what was
transporting on the roof garden. He be-
lieyed the mans insanity dated from
the time Evelyn Nesbit told him her
story at Paris in 1903. DR.. Wagner
created quite stir in court by using
the present tense in responding to
question by District Attorney Jerome
rs to what form of insanity Thaw
has or had" Ir. Wagner declared
Thaw lis suffering" from symptoms
which lead toward a melancholic state
end state of dementia praecox.
When asked to describe the latter
phase DR.. Wagner said it covered such
a wide field of dementia as TO be diff
ficult of strict definition. DR.. Wagner
declared Thaw's condition of mind at
the time of the shooting was the result
of one of the insanities Of adolescence.
He would not go further than this in
an attempt to classify the exact form.
The district attorney again continued
his somewhat puzZling tactics. His
questioning of DR.. Evans seemed to
have thepurpose of showing that Thaw
never was insane to the extent con-
templated by the criminal statutes OF
this state. Again with DR.. Wagner he
pointed toward the same end at one
time. and at another seemed DESTROYS
of having DIR. Wagner admit that
Thaw was suffering from forms Of
insanity which might not be durable
DR.. Wagner was still on the stand
when adjournment was taken.

YELLOW DOG A USEFUL CUR
Finds Valuable Pocket Book to Say
Nothing of the $50 1t Contained,
for His Master

Lawrenceburg, Ind, March 3.
William II. Dunn, living in a house
boat, anchored in the Ohio river, near
the mouth Of Laughery creek, rescued
a nearly famished yellow dog from a
floating drift during the recent flood,
and gave the animal shelter While
Dunn was fishing several weeks ago
he accidentally dropped hispocketbook,
containing, among other things, $50
pension money. He marked the place
where II sank from view, intending
when the water receded to make an eff
fort toward recovery.
Still later the dog, while trying to
catch muskrat, uncovered the lost
pocketbook, which had been buried in
the mud. Dunn found the money so
badly damaged that the bank refused
to accept 1t, and he therefore forward
ed it to the treasury department with
a sworn statement, and later he re-
ceived $50 In new, crisp bills. The
old leather book was presented to Dunn
during the civil war by General Wal
lick, under whom he served, for an act
of bravery in action, and it was highly
priced for that reason.

WILL GO TO THE GRAND JURY
Men Who Will Be Caught in This Cor
oner's Dragnet.

Another section of the finding re-
cites that the lateral pressure of the
train running over the curve at the
Woodlawn road, where the accident
occurred, cut off theheads of the spikes
holding the easterly rail, thus permit
ting the displacement. When the cor
oner had announced his decision to
hold the directors and president of the
road attorneys for the Central object
ca vigorously without avail. Coroner
Schwannecke declined to say what
charge he would lodge against the Off
Gals held by him, saying this would
be made known at the proper time.
Assistant District Attorney Smythe,
as he was leaving court, remarked that
now he could present the case to the
grand jury. The directors of the New
York Central are: Chauncey NJ. De
pew, William K. Vanderbilt, Frederick
K. Vanderbilt, Samuel F. Barger, J.
Pierpont Morgan. H. Mex. Twombly,
William H. Newman, Charles @. Clarke,
Geo. S. Bowdoin, William Rockefeller,
D. o. Mills, James Stillman and Geo.
It. bdheI. w II. NHNuu Is pTea1-
dent
That part of the verdict stating that
the speed of the train was in excess
of what has proven to be safe is in
direct contradiction by an experiment
the company has made since the acct
dent, and reported to the coroner. The
active operation officials of the COM
pany got aboard a train and drove it
around the curve where the accident
occurred, and at the same speed as the
wrecked train, in perfect safety, with
out a jar or shock Of any kind.
After doing this, and thereby sub
hitting the rails to the impact of the
flying train, the same officials on the
same train came back over the curve,
and this last time the speed was eighty
two miles an hour-much faster than
the schedule time-and there was not
a Jar nor shock, and when the track
was examined it was found In perfect
| condition.

GETS PAss-"eooD IN MEXICO"
Disappointment of a Man Whom the
Railroads Befriended.

Maybe you think I didn't get a
shock this morning" said a Kansas
City business man. You know the
railroads have always sent me annual
passes. l had supposed that the in.
terstate commerce law had put me on
the has-been list. Imagine my sur
prise when I opened my mail this
morning to find one of the familiar
little envelopes which usually conceal
an annual pass. On the outside was
the usual printed line to the effect
that it was sent with the compliments
of one OF the officials of the road.
Sure enough, it was an annual pass
on the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
railroad You can imagine how eIated
/ was, for I knew if one railroad was
sending out ANIMALS the others would
Just then l caught a glimpse of a
printed line under my name. 1t read:
Good only in the Republic of Mexico
My spirits fell to zero again. The
Orient had 400 miles of track in opera,
ton in Mexico, but I would have to
pay fare for a ride of more than a
thousand miles before l could use my
pass"

Registered Fruitful Kick.
Washington, Ind, March 3. - Post
master Faith recently conferred with
Judge Gardiner in reference to the
practice of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railway officials in buy
ing their stamps for use Of railway
business here, in Baltimore. Postmas-
ter Faith contended that the business
legitimately belonged to this Office, as
the stamps were used here. Judge
Gardiner communicated with Superin-
tendent Carothers, and the effect Of
the conference is an order that stamps
used here shall be purchased in the To-
cal office. This means an additional
revenue Of something like $7OO annual
~, close to the salary of a letter car
rier.
Internal Revenue Collections.
Terre Haute, Ind, March 5.-The

for the eight months of the fiscal year
over the same eight months the pre-
vious year is $2,116,598. The destruc-
ton of the Vincennes distillery by FIRE
this week will check the increase for
the fiscal year unless the trust starts

Jerome in a Ouandary.

Just what District Attorney Jerome
will be able to prove on rebuttal re-
mains as much Of mystery as ever.
He complained, in seeking a broad in
depreciation Of the rules of evidence by
Justice Fitzgerald, that If he should
call any of the defense's alienists in
rebuttal they might refuse on the
ground of professional privilege to an
swer any questions put to them. This
seems to indicate that Jerome's threat
to call Allan McLane Hamilton in re-
buttal carries with it the possibility
that DR.. Hamilton may not testify, for
at the time he made the examination
of Thaw in the Tombs he was in the
employ of the prisoners counsel.
Doctor a Match for Lawyer.
DR.. Evans left the witness stand sub

The witness protected the interests of

ted that Ihaw had an insane knowl-
edge Of what he was doing on Madison
Square Roof garden the night he shot
and killed Stanford White. The New
York statutes provide that to be ex-
empt from punishment for crime an
insane person must be so demented az
not to know the nature or quality OF
his act, or to know that the act 10
