Painful Accident.

Ed. Hayes, who drives team on the
city scraper, met with peculiar and
painful although probably not seri-
Gus accident in John Woods black
smith shop Wednesday evening. due
to the viciousness of one of the horses
he drives, and which he had taken to
the shop to be shod. The horse Is
one of the worst known to local black
smiths, and after the shoes had been
fastened to the animals front hoofs, 1t
was necessary to the safety of the
man who worked behind him, in at
tempting to shoe the back hoofs, to tie
his front legs. While this attempt
was being made, the animal reared
and came down on Hayes feet, one of
the calks being driven through his
boot and deep into the mans foot
Hayes, in his struggle, fell down and
lay PROSTATE and writhing with pain
while the horse seemed, wickedly, to
realize its advantage, and could not be
induced to move for several minutes,
Extreme measures finally persuaded
the beast to release Hayes. The driv-
err has a very sore foot and will be un-
able TO walk without a limp for some
days.

SOCIOLOGICAL
Rate of Forest Destruction.

According to bulletin just issued by
the forest service Of the agricultural
department, every person in this coun-
wood as the individual consumption in
Europe, and the country as a whole
consumes over three times what che
forests of the United States grow dur
ing the year. The consequence of this
policy is an inevitable timber famine.
1t Is pointed out that the increase in
population since 1880 Is hardly more
than half the increase in lumber cut, so
that the increase Of forest destruction
cannot be explained entirely ON the
theory of increased population.
Sage Foundation Organized.
At meeting Of the trustees of the
Sage foundation, the name given to the
S10,000,00O endowment established by
Mrs. Russell Sage for the purpose of
improving sociological and living con-
ditions In America, Mrs. Sage herself
was chosen president, Robert w. De
Forest, her attorney, vice president
and John NJ. Glenn of Baltimore sec
rotary. Mr.. Glenn will be tho active
administrator. He has been for many
years conspicuous In local and national
charity movements. He Is about fifty
years Of age and graduate of Wash
ington and Lee university The trus-
tees decided upon the scope of the
work to be pursued, saying that the
foundation would not attempt to re-
lieve individual or family need, but
that Its function Is "to eradicate so far
as possible the cause of poverty and
ignorance rather than to relieve the
suferings of those who are poor and
ignorant" The reason given for this
attitude Is that neighborhood charity
would be dried up IL neighborhood
needs were supplied from without.
They say also that the sphere of high
er education will not be within the
scope Of the Sage foundation, thus dis
tinguishing its work from that of the
general education board which has
been endowed by Rockefeller, Carnegie
and others.

rey-Gilman Wedding.

Shortly after midnight or early on
the morning of the 18th, so as to avoid
the 'unlucky 18TH" William L. Corey
was married to his actress bride, Ma
belle Gilman, in the Hotel Gotham,
New York, the ceremony being per-
formed by the Rev. J. l.. Clark of the
Bushwick avenue church of Brooklyn.
The ceremony was preceded by ban
quet attended by the brides, family
and some of the Corey family, others
refusing to have anything to do with
the wedding Immediately after the
knot was tied the couple went aboard
an ocean liner which sailed that day
for Europe. They are to pass their
honeymoon In q French castle, the
brides gift from Corey. Minister Clark
has been fiefcely criticized for marry
cused Of having taken a very large fee.
He denied that it was as much as
$1,000 and offered to resign If his con-
gregation should wish, but defended
his course on the ground of defending
morality, saying 1t was love match,
DR.. Clark later made q formal writ
ten apology to the church trustees, say
ing that he had done great wrong to
his Office and to his church. He added
that he had returned the fee which was
given him and explained that his error
was not with evil intent and that IL 1t
were condoned he would promise that
his future uses of his Office should be
within the principles and practices OF
his denomination. The church COM
mittee accepted this Interpretation of
the minister's act as being without
evil intent and decided to take no fur
Their action, sharing with him "the hui
initiation and chagrin."
Submarine Safety Device.
The Octopus and Lake made new rec

waves for twenty-four hours. AS the
boats came to the surface the men
leaped out less fatigued than most of
the anxious watchers and wearing
fresh flowers in their coat lapels to
show that they had not suffered for
want of pure air. The Octopus con-
sumed only one forty-fifth of her air
supply, showing that she could have
remained under water forty-five days
with sufficient supply of fuel and food.
The record OF the Lake was substan-
TALLY the same.
